When will official Android 4.0.4 firmware be released for Galaxy SII?
Samsung already has it working on the SIII, can't take much effort to bring it to SII surely? Seems to be taking ages. Jelly Bean will probably be released before we get this update!
Go to http://www.samsung.com/ and locate a contact method.
Anything else anyone tells you is pointless speculation. What super awesome feature are you so eagerly awaiting? If you're desperately wanting that 0.0.1 of extra goodness, flash an AOSP ROM.
Sammobile said samsung working on it....One site said samsung stopped working on 4.0.4 for GS2....No news from samsung
Please stop making these threads. This question has been asked dozens of times before (search). The answer is always the same; how the hell would we know ?
A member asked sammobile and it said that a leak will be out in july/august.

Hi,
I'm currently in the process of updating my android version to ICS on my Galaxy S2.
It has been on the download screen, at this point, over an hour.
Does anyone know how long this usually takes?
Thanks!
It doesn't take this much tym its definitely a network issue
You get ICS installed in the end?
Thank you.
No it didn't install. I'm looking further into it. I think you are right about the network issue.
So is the update suppose to be provided by the service provider or samsung?
I'd suggest to check the galaxys2 forum section, there will be users that surely can help you better...
Is this an official update? It sounds as though you had an OTA update rather than flashing an unofficial rom, if this is true what network is this with? I thought it'd be January before Samsung released their version of ICS?
EXCLUSIVE: Android 4.0.1 by Samsung for SGS2 (CUSTOM)
Samsung Galaxy S II official Ice Cream Sandwich test build leaked, available 4 flashing
The first official Samsung Galaxy S II Android 4.0 build is out and is now available for download. Folks over Sammobile.com, who got this build from their inside source, say that this build is not for everyone. If you only install stock builds and do no play around with Android on your Galaxy S II then you better stay away from it.
Being a test version, it is expected to have bugs. Initial impressions reveal that Samsung has kept its TouchWiz launcher over the ICS UI, but Android 4.0 elements are clearly visible and you will notice them in the following video.
What works in I9100XXKP1?
All the Basics work like calling , sms , internet and more.
Some applications havent been worked out correct so they will force close on stress.
Because we are dealing with a “CUSTOM” ROM here it can occur that the phone will react very slow from time to time.
There is also the chance of some “RANDOM REBOOTS”
We at Sammobile advise people to not use thhis ROM for daily usage.
If you want to download this firmware then you can do so via the provided link below.
Download
Password: samfirmware.com
Again if you only flash STOCK ROMs then dont flash this.
Because you flash this rom with “unsecure” kernel the phone thinks its “CUSTOM”and will start counting on your custom counter.
You will loose your warranty because of this.
Awesome!
I haven't unlocked my new s2, but was waiting for this. Will definetly wait for some reports on this ROM before flashing
I immediatly try it!! Thanks
Why again a topic,there are already topics of it,or did i miss something?

No,read the other topic...info there.. greets
Edit: I believe that it is here the info you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391209
Awesome....What better Christmas Gift to all S2 Lovers.
Now Sammy is in race with xda developers....Kidding ;-)
Anyways...Just went through the video..Looks genuine.
Lets what comes of this in the coming days
Still a bit too strong as an expression, "official". It´s no more (and no less, for that matter) than a leak of a beta.
Use the thread in General to discuss this leak.

Hello there
I checked "Software Update" but I did not find anything, but that's expected because my network provider is pretty slow in providing updates, especially for Android devices. I checked the SamMobile website which provides the latest updates but I couldn't find anything beyond 4.1.2, however I am certain that I saw people on this forum that own the I9300 and have 4.2+ (and my friend has it on his Google phone, whatever its model is I don't remember). Is there a way to get it? Would I have to root or is there an RUU available? I am not sure if "RUU" is the correct word, but it was when I had the HTC One X.
Thanks guys!
There is only the unofficial leak of 4.2.1 from samsung. Latest official is 4.1.2
Obviously we have aosp 4.2.2 but this is not samsung based

How do you go about installing an unofficial leak and are there any disadvantages/dangers when doing so? Would I have to root and use Clockworkmod or can I just directly install it from Odin, for instance? And one last thing, is it going to update the baseband (or w.e it is called)? I wouldn't want that so I can revert to 4.1.2 at any time!
I'm not sure if there is an odin version tbh. I thought the leak was pretty good (rooted) but many found it buggy. It was very incomplete.
I reckon we may skip 4.2.1 anyway and go to 4.2.2 as with the s4. It can't be far off.

Thanks a lot for your replies, mate. I guess the best thing to do is wait for 4.2 then. I wouldn't want to install a buggy firmware, I mean 4.1.2 itself isn't that stable anyway. I remember when the S3 first came out with v4.0.4, the S2 got it shortly after, so I am hoping the same scenario takes places asap.
Thanks again and cheers!
I have the first Galaxy Note (Canadian version) that I got from Bell, with the model number SGH-i717M. I've been looking to get KitKat or Jellybean on it but from what ive researched I haven't had any luck. I heard that Samsung had a Jellybean update for the Galaxy Note but I'm not a huge fan of Touchwiz, I really like stock android or something close to stock android like Cyanogenmod. So does anyone know of any KitKat or Jelly Bean ROMS for the SGH-i717M? Any help is much appreciated!
Thread moved. Please post questions in the Q&A forums.
Thank you.

In case you havent helped yourself by this point, there is a CM11 weekly build in the General forums, or you can look in the Super Everything Thread. Some links are down in the Super thread, but folk are here to help and may have the file for you. However, only you can decide what you want. Roms are a give and take. Its not Burger King. Take some for a test drive and f8nd what suuts your needs.
Let us know

It will come in some shape, but it may not be a perfect experience, as most devs rightfuly gave up on S2 due to all the crap (not) coming from Samsun.

I dont think devs completely gave up on s2 because since s2 stopped at 4.1.2 devs got it all the way up to 4.4.4 with cyanogenmod based roms and they seem to work flawlessly. Some of the kitkat roms for s2 are official by cyanogenmod
I just cant wait for the android l to release, i did some research and they say that it might arrive from 23rd september - 23rd december but when 4.4.4 was released s2 got the rom in 3-4 days i just love those animations on android l

Dude,i think you are wrong!
yes it's ture S2 it's kind of old. BUT! if you just give S2 Developing Thread a visit you will see that it has many Custom roms and lot's of good Dev's are still working on it!
Samsung Galaxy SII still have more Custom Roms and Mods than Some New Smart phones.
All the main devs are gone. Once there will be bigger change in lets acceleration handling in new Android release, S2 will be done. Once S3 will be done with updates, there won't be any way for S2 to be mended by hacking stuff from other similar devices. I've happily sold my old S2 for the same price I've paid for the phone to my operator throughout the years and got Xperia Z2. S2 was great, but it was Samsung and that made it die prematurely. Never ever Samsung.
