help using kies to update - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I'm a spanish Galaxy s2 user. Since I learn to change Roms whith Odin, I've tried several Roms, all of them official. Now I'd like someone to tell me how to update using Kies again. I mean, if I'm using a 4.0.3 official Rom and I want to update to 4.1 official in september-october, what should I do to do update through Kies again?
I think that I have to use a 4.0.3 official spanish Rom, but I'm not sure.​Thank you so much.

You need to use stock rom from your carrier.

Well when it gets released you can download it from WWW.sammobile.com. or you can revert back to GB with your stock firmware and wait for the ota update nearer to when its going to be released.
Have you considered shooting and updating to a jb rom now? Rootbox is stable and amazing. I would recommend it

My carrier is Vodafone Spain but my phone is unlocked since its birthday.

Thanks anyway.

[Q] When can we expect the official 2.3 FW?

Just bought an Ace to my girlfriend. Was kind of expecting that there would be an update. Any news on this?
What's is your region? Currently only the Europeans have 2.3.3 update but we could always flash with Odin flashtool. Firmware provided by Samfirmware.com

hi. It's europe. Nevertheless I did try to update before wrapping the present and no updates were available :-(

Then you might want to flash it yourself.. though froyo is more stable. I think gingerbread is a leaked, not yet official rom, Europeans please correct if wrong.

This isn't authentic by any means. The Bangladesh firmware is modified to an Indian one

Thanx guys for the replies.

Hello Mr.impatient
Indian official ICS will be released this week in Kies.So just wait 1-2 more days.
I will not comment about that Indian ICS which is already here in some thread.
Indian official ICS release will not come through OTA.
It will be only through Kies.

Unless, of course, you are an I9100G user. (Of which there was at least one posting in this thread.)
No offense, sahibunlimited... just want to be clear.

I am just a little skeptic about using Odin (scared rather). And now that I'm on 2.3.6, zergRush exploit doesn't work due to which I'm unable to root. Hence waiting for the update through Kies.

Odin is safer than Kies in my opinion.
You can TRY the "memory crash" method when using zergRush. Just open a ton of apps and exit using the Home button instead of Back to fill up as much memory as possible (at least over 500 mb used), then use zergRush.
I don't know if it will work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.
If not, just flash a kernel that roots for you, like CF-Root or Siyah.
How the hell does it matter when you get the update.
Its the same Samsung ****!
Id say stay on GB or use CM9!
But then again thats what i think.

Must I revert to stock?

Quick question, do I have to revert to stock everything and upgrade to official ICS in order to flash future official ICS ROMs?????

Only if you want to get it thru Kies
there is a .tar file in the main Official ICS thread that is used with Odin
Im not sure if I'm being misunderstood, I'm wondering if its necessary for me to upgrade to official ICS in order to flash future ICS ROMs?

No one had official ICS when we were flashing CM9 AOKP or Paranoid Android

I get what you are asking, ignore the last guys comment. Yes, to upgrade official firmware you have to be on official firmware unless someone makes a one click odin for people to install. If there are anymore upgrades from AT&T you will have to be on stock Gingerbread or Stock ICS to do the official upgrade.

I'm running it and flashed it thru Odin
And I wasn't on official firmware
Kies is another option.
Read up before you bash
The majority is flashing thru Odin and rooting thru Odin as well

Not true. I was on the CM 9.1 rom from hotwire, connected to kies and ran the update with no issue.

I don't believe so, no. When you flash a custom ROM (whether ICS or otherwise) you should do a full wipe anyway, so being on official ICS is irrelevant.
And the developers comment out or remove the signature checks for their roms so you can upgrade from any rom but samsung roms do a signature check and abort if stock rom and modem are missing.
Thank you very much guys.

I used Kies on my PC whilst in Download mode twice yesterday to put the official update on my phone.
I had FJ's UCLF5 / IMM76D B9 on my Note both times.
I used the process detailed in this thread:

Yes you can directly upgrade to Jelly Bean from Ginger Bread (2.3.5)
you need to keep in mind that the ROM is a leaked one and it has bugs and you might also have battery drain if you dont tweak it.
you can use the thread below to install it
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995987&highlight=cleaned+thread
Also keep in mind official jb is expected out any day. Why flash the leak when you can flash official soon enough.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yup if you are not experienced and don't want to waste your time on struggling with bugs then better install ics 4.0.3 and wait for official release of JB

Official JB release for i9100P

I have been waiting very patiently for the official release of JB either via kies or ota. When ICS was released for the i9100 it was around 2 more months before i9100p varients starting being released. One thing that worries me is that all the leaked versions and official seem to be simply for the vanilla i9100 with little to no releases what so ever for the P. Looking on sam mobile this lists no version of JB for this model which makes me thing Samsung have ditched support for it and we will actually not see an official update for this device?
I am confident I could just load the i9100 firmware onto my phone via odin or something if I really wanted but would still prefer something official. So curious does anyone "in the know" actually know?
Im in same situation as yourself. I have an i9100p from orange and also thinking that samsung have ditched the 'p' version. I did try the first leaked jb rom and it works fine but im now back on official ics rom and just hoping I get an official jb rom with nfc

I have since noticed a couple of i9100P JB roms in the wild (taken from Sammobile) it's just very weird why there are so few. The annoying thing is I never actually ordered the P variant it was all the o2 were supplying at the time and I didn't know it was a P until I decided to put a custom kernel on.
