I'm considering getting one of these for my daughter from UK Tesco.com. I understand that the international version Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 was originally released with Froyo 2.2., so even buying a new one now does it come out of the box with froyo installed? Also was it ever officially updated to Gingerbread 2.3.X either OTA or by Kies or are there only custom gingerbread roms available?
Thanks

i got mine from amazon with GB which was officially updated by Samsung. if yours comes with froyo, then just do an ota update
I bought my Galaxy s wifi 5.0 from Amazon and it came with 2.2 and there was no update to 2.3. I had to flash a ROM to get 2.3 and then 4.0.4. If you buy the US variant it come pre loaded with 2.3.
The lastest firmware of the intl player 5.0 is XXLPL ( France )
Product Code: YP-G70CWXEF
Latest firmware: G70XXKPL/G70XXKPL/G70XXKPL/G70XXKPL

You can use Check Fus Downloader to download this firnware
in my optinion , this firmware + rj's kernel v14 make the device work like a charm , super smooth , better than any custom rom i've been used before :good:
Really? Mine lags like a sucker! I'm looking for a stock kernel to see if it works any better!
Gingerbread was released everywhere except the UK. However people from other european countries have given us the gingerbread stock rom, so you can get gingerbread easily.
Mine is loaded with 2.2 Froyo, but I managed to upgrade it to Gingerbread. You can always flash another ROM if you're not satisfied with your stock/current rom.

I'm assuming 4.5.91 is the newest Official version of GB that's available (for AT&T). The Cherry Pie ROM (and from my understanding any AT&T specific ROM) can be used on International builds as long as you use your tegra specific kernel for it (for example i'm on faux123's v1.2 d00 kernel).
I'm on Bell and successfully installed Cherry Pie yesterday with no issues. Just be sure to install your specific kernel AFTER the ROM install and you should be good to go.
I'm really really sorry, but I'm a newbie to the SGS2, having switched over from Moto a day ago, so I'm not sure if this question has been asked before. I have used the search bar, but I couldn't quite find any results.
Okay, so my question is, what is the latest official firmware update available for the SGS2? I've heard that some phones have 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 after an update. I've tried updating the phone with Kies and I'm at 2.3.3 and the build is KI2.
Currently I'm not too comfortable with rooting and flashing a new rom, so I'm sticking with stock for the moment.
It depends on your region.

And India is the first to NOT get an update.
@OP- It's XWKI8 for NEE region and XXKI3 for other regions. Pick your choice and flash one if you don't get the official update from Crapsung.

I just got my Galaxy last week.
I see it is firmware 2.3.4
Has AT&T offered/sent the 2.3.5 update? If so, how do I get it? I have not seen any notification on my phone about it.
Also, I rooted my phone.
When I get the 2.3.5 update will my phone still be rooted after if I install 2.3.5 from AT&T?
Is it possible to update through Kies Mini? That is what I used for my Samsung Vibrant T959. But kies does not seem able to connnect to my AT&T galaxy s ii SGH-I777
OR do I need to root it again?
2.3.5 has not been officially announced.
the main reason for the update is the fix for the lock bug.
the 2.3.5 that is available im not sure if its leaked or user developed but its not Official.
Perception ROM is your best bet at the moment.

to my knowledge it is the only rom thats based off 2.3.5 and of course, like every other rom its rooted=)
I think we'll see more 4.0 roms sooner than we will any 2.3.5's if you want a higher os then flash CM7 and have 2.3.7
Hi, I just wanted to know what is the current official gingerbread version for galaxy S2. I'm currently on 2.3.4 but I see people got 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. According to Kies, it says I have the latest version ie ( 2.3.4). Am I not getting any updates ?

You are once again on the latest update as supplied by your phone vendor you need to ask them .

I bought the phone in January sim free, for full price from my local mobile phone store. It is running stock android 2.3.4 (build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4). Its been in the online news a lot that ICS would be available by the end of Q1 but still, i am unable to update. I get a message saying my firmware is the latest available.
I live in New Zealand and as far as i understand you (USA) have ICS but what about for me? I'm assuming my phone is the international version so i thought i would have the update by now.
So does anyone know the full story?
Thanks
ICS hasn't been released by any of the NZ telcos yet (I checked with Checkfus). You can pretty much run any ICS stock (or custom for that matter) rom you want. Lots of Odin (mainly stock roms) & CWM flashable (mainly custom) roms on here (search the development sections).
One thing to bear in mind if you do flash a stock ICS rom from another region tho, you may have problems getting updates via Kies in future. If that happens, you'd need to flash a stock rom for your region in order to get Kies updates again. Or you could do what the majority of people on here do, bypass Kies completely (horrible excuse for software) & flash all your roms manually.
As long as you've got an I9100 or I9100T you can flash any firmware for these phones.
Fellow Kiwi here mate, just flash any ics rom thru odin. I've had no issues whatsoever, the latest Lp7 rom with speedmod kernel is the best I've had. You wont regret it.
I'm with telecom, they wont update anything quickly at all.
Hope this helps your decision
