[Q] Unable to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 HENCE no official ICS!! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I am from India and i have an SGS2 I9100 with the following details
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE:I9100DDKE4
csc:I9100ODDKF3
BUILD NUMBER: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100DDKE4
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 [email protected]#2
The problem is that with ICS available in India i am still unable to update my phone. No wifi. So trying by 3G connection on my network provider.
But still it says no update found.
My phone has Gingerbread 2.3.3 and in the update software section i have 2 options:-
1. Software Update
2. Resume Update
What is it that i can do to update my phone to ICS???

Have a look at this thread, they are all stok roms you need to download Odin and find the rom that fits with your country http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 try the 3rd post for 4.0.3 roms download the correct one and flash via Odin. After flash do a factory reset to clear out any old 2.3.3 stuff. Remember to backup your apps contacts etc first.
XWLPF appears to be the most recent one for you just confirm you are using a Samsung i9100 and not i9100g.

[Q] No Kies Support - How to get the right region/firmware?

Hi all,
I have bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy S 2 in China.
The Android version installed is 2.3.3; I tried to do an update via Kies but I got the infamous message that "firmware update is not supported" for my device. I understand from other posts in the forum that maybe the firmware installed is not matching with the original region of the device, in this case I should install the right firmware in order to get the support from Kies, am I right?
But my question is...how do I know the original firmware/region for my model?
The data of the device are the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected] #2 (does this mean the phone has been rooted?)
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
Sorry for the noob question, I tried to figure out from the sticky post and used search but I am still confused...(yes, I got intimidated by the welcoming video of the forum)
Thanks

Its not posible to know without evidence guess maybe.

NO its the signature
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
That reads as a custom rom by Quens ???
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
If its a i9100 and no other version pick a stock rom from the stock roms posts .
With later firmware and to match region phone is used in .

Trouble going from XXLPB to original Bell Canada settings

Hi, about last year I put XXLPB on my samsung galaxy s2. Now that Bell has officially released the 4.0.3 ICS I want to put that on my phone but now I can not because its is not on the same firmware. I have downloaded so many thing and tried many different ways, and still nothing. I can always only go back to XXLPB for some reason. Does anyone know how to go from XXLPB 4.0.3 to the original bell settings even 2.3.3 is fine. I want to use kies to manually update to the newest bell 4.0.3 or even if there is a way to use odin. I would appreciate any help to get from XXLPB 4.0.3 to the bell settings for 4.0.3
My phone settings atm:
Model Number - GT-I9100
Android Version - 4.0.3
BaseBand version - I9100XXLPB
Kernel Version - 3.0.15-I9100XXLPB-CL99600
[email protected]@SEI-44 #3
Build Number - IML74.XXLPB
Any help would be appreciated as I am really confused at this point

I had the same problem. What I did was to flash the Gingerbread firmware from this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Firmware: http://hotfile.com/dl/145794821/d1be1d6/I9100XXKI3.zip.html
Then, I was able to update my phone to UGLD3 through ODIN.
I was not able to go directly from UGKG2 to UGLD3 for some reason. It gave me the Panic Mode each time.

Really need Pro help!! ;(

Hi guys,
I'm new here and I had a problem with upgrading my Galaxy SII version.
I dont know how to upgrade it because now there is new version 4.0.3 or more latest..

What I know is using Odin or kies but I'm not sure what version I should use to upgrade it
Can someone teach me how to upgrade it.. plzzzz.....
I live in Malaysia
This is my version:
Model: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.6

1) Read the Stickies.
2) Get the PC version of Checkfus & use it to download the latest ICS stock rom for your phone model/country/carrier (assuming one is available). This is firmware you'd normally get via OTA update.
3) Flash the rom package you download with Odin following instructions here.

You can upgrade to ICS 4.0.x if you want. I usually flash stock ROM via Odin, this way is faster than Kies. Why do you try it by your self? it's very interesting when you're complete.

[Q] Un root and return to factory spec

Hi all
Sorry for the noob question I have searched but nothing gives me quite the correct answer.
I have a Galaxy s2 GT-I9100 that i have messed about with over the last year, a mate of mine is going to buy it but would like it Stock, fully back to factory spec so he can use Kies to check for software updates and the like. I have flashed the polish 4.0.3 ics rom and all is good but when I connect to kies it says .
Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies
PDA:LPQ / PHONE:LPQ / CSC:LPQ(XEU)
I followed the guide on galaxys2root when I original did it using this kernel CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
The info from the phone is
Model
GT-I9100
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version
I9100xxlpq
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100xxlpq-cl223505 [email protected]#3
Build Number
IML74k.xxlpq.
I am downloading the UK/ireland XEU 4.0.4 rom at the moment if I flash this will it work or is there a stock kernel I have to load for this to work.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.

You have to flash to the stock rom, then it'll be unrooted like you just got it out of the box.
