I would like to upgrade my SGS2 from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!! I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with ODIN3 even though I have a different CSC ????????????????
Also the most important thing to ask is :--
"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ????????"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!

Hey NDNESH !!! ODDLP7/DDLP8 !!!!!!!!! Has anyone tried it? There seems to be no queries on this so I assume that no one has tried it or there are no problems with it !!!
I really want to go for ICS.
1). Have I to ROOT it after this ?
2). My Kernel version is [email protected] #2. Is this compatible with the XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 that I am going for ??????
Please help as I am COMPLETELY NEW at this.
Hi,
Is there any way to upgrade the UAE firmware with official ICS India firmware through kies? I really want to know this as don't want to root or use ODIN for my phone.
NO
odin doesnt require root and its as official as KIES yet better than Kies...
Do you mean to say that after upgrading with ODIN I can still get firmware updates through KIES?

Actually, Im goin to sell my GT-I9100 (Indian Bill) .... but what I want is to sell it with latest official Indian ROM...
And I found I9100XWKL1 as the latest official Indian rom on www.Sammobile.com
But my worry is what if I sell after flashing that rom and Kies doesn't recognise it the buyer may think that Im selling a non-indian model purchased from US/UK thats unlocked etc.... bec many first time android users dont care about rooted or unofficial like things ...
So I want to make it latest official (Indian) which is recognizable by Kies... Plz suggest...
Do a search on here for Checkfus. This tool will tell you what the most recent official firmware is for your phone/region, and allow you to download it.
No point in asking about Samfirmware on here, this isn't Samfirmware (in other words, questions about anything on Samfirmware should be asked in their forums).

Hi,
I bought my SGS 2 on ebay. The phone is unlocked, but was on Vodafone and hence have Vodafone apps which won't work anyway.
I'm using a TESCO SIM which basically uses O2.
Now my question is how can I update to ICS.
Since the phone is vodafone branded but now on TESCO/O2 SIM, please help me updating to ICS.
I cannot use the generic from Samsung KIES as the current firmware is from Voda and cannot use Voda update as I'm not using thier network.
Phone details are
PDA:I9100BUKJ3
Phone: I9100BUKI1
CSC:I9100VODKI2
thanks
Arun

You wait for Vodaphone to push the update out .
Or you start reading and searching and use the Samsung stock ICS firmware if you want ICS NOW .
Millions of posts asking the same question not hard to find .

you could try to check if have "I9100" model, not the "19100G" or other variants, then you can start from there.
if you're have "I9100" then generic roms would be fine. (LPQ, LP7, LP2)

Thanks For the reply.
I'm planning to do this
1. Debrand to generic UK ROM that is 2.6.4
2. Go to KIES get the ISC.
Please let me know if this will work ?
Also Please let me know which UK Generic ROM 2.6.4 can I use. I'm confused looking at the Inrtatech's post. Not sure what they are ? Please point me to the exact one please.
Thanks

It might but it all depends upon the codes your phones shows .

Their is no exact one ..
If you really must have ICS then download a latest version stock from .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559170
You really only have two choices KIES updates as and when you get them .
Or XDA developers forum flash stock roms via Odin on day of release .
two methods dont really mix and match .
GB 8/10 ICS current release 3/10 not good enough for my phone .

based on your original post, you want to update to ICS, now you're saying "2.6.4", there's no such thing as "2.6.4", do you mean 2.3.6?
if you want to debrand and update to ICS, there's no need to install 2.3.6, you can install ICS and wipe your data, and you're good to go.
for are i think 3 stable versions of ICS, LPQ(which is UK), LP7(indonesia) and LP2 (russia) if you really want a UK version, use LPQ(but i has an sms bug which sends sms twice when using 3rd party apps).

Go to www.sammobile.com find your stock firmware, download and flash through odin.
Hello guys!
I have Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH.
It's unbranded, i made a research in the forum and it's supposed to be a factory unlocked phone. following the coment "But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)" by dr.ketan in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801022
My actual firmware installed is the UBBLG2. It's running ICS 4.0.4.
So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
1. What Official firmware should I install?
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4? Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Looking at these site and post we know the lastest firmware is I9300XXDLIB. Should I go with this one?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?
Take care guys and thanks for all your help.

So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
YES
1. What Official firmware should I install?
Only one JB official the Polish release .
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
If you want to or have network problems .
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4?
You can but why //
Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
No
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Yes no updates
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Use root from XDA only see the INDEX.
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?
It will not be released its ICS .

Thanks for your reply JJEgan
so to make a complete picture we got.
1. I can install JB 4.1.1 Official Firmware Polish Release.
2. I don't have to change the CSC. That must remain untouched.
3. Why will this affect future updates if it is a Official Firmware used on a Factory unlocked I9300? so I won't ever get updates for bug fixes and improvements? How will I handle that?
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3. Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband? being this a international factory unlocked.
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Thanks

You dont have to no must remain untouched .

Same way as you are now updating via XDA .
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3.
It is being rolled out .
Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband?
Baseband is nothing to do with firmware .
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best .
Or read and learn and flash stock rom from XDA ,

Thank again for your help, I don't want to bother you, but you make me feel confused.
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS ."
But you do not clarify Why this official firmware from Samsung does affect future updates. I mean the Reason. WHY?
And then you do not answers my question and just told me "Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best ." even when you said before "will not be released its ICS ."
If there is something else i should know please point me in the right direction, i just want to know and learn more to be sure before installing because it doesn't make sense installing JB if you wont ever get updates from Samsung or android for bug fixes and improvement updates.
Sorry if I'm bothering you, don't take it personal.
Repeat you need to read and learn .
Update path official via Kies or OTA OK .
No problem whenever the update is released for your phone you get it .
Alternative via XDA and flash stock rom on day of release no waiting or custom rom .
Example official JB you let us say six weeks wait .
XDA has stock JB released for Poland you can install that .
But you may then lose your official upgrade path as the codes no longer match as you do not have official firmware for your phone .
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS >> no sorry you are confused .
Official Kies and OTA upgrades are not part of XDA .
BASICS SGS3 I9300 International Only .

AFAIK the software update from samsung is for Jellybean v4.1.2.
Any OTA update will unroot ur phone for sure
PS- and do keep in mind not to create multiple threads for each of ur issue, rather update the same thread
