How to upgrade to 2.3.3??? Plz help

Hi..
I m heaving x10i with t-mobile, how can i upgrade to 2.3.3?
Please help.....m new to xda..
Thanks in advance.....

You may be new to XDA but at least you posted your question in the right place. A lot of XDAers who behave and sound like they know what they are doing, don't even follow this rule. So don't worry!
Basically there are 2 ways to upgrade to 2.3.3. One is (1) to upgrade through PC Companion, and the other is (2) to flash pre-rooted version of the ROM.
If you have never used a flashtool or never flashed a ROM before, you should probably go the route (1). All you have to do is to install the PC Companion and connect your X10i to the PC. But you have to wait until an update becomes available for your version of installed 2.1 firmware. Here is something you should take a look at. If you happen to be in the legion where no official 2.3.3 is unavailable now, you may still be able to upgrade anyway if you know how to edit build.prop.
Going through the route (2) is a little more complex than (1) but if you read this or/and this carefully it shouldn't be that difficult.
model no x10i
fw version 2.1-update 1
bb version 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
build no 2.1.A.0.435
what should i do to update?
Download the flash tool.
Doiwnload the firmware.
Flash.

[Q] flashed P7500XWKK4 and it is not kies updateable

I just flashed my 10.1 p7500 with the kk4 stock firmware I downloaded from the other post, thinking that when the samsung ICS comes out, I can update it using KIES. But KIES said that it wasn't updateable thru it.
Does anyone have a firmware that would be updateable thru KIES?
Hello,
I cannot answer your question, as kind of a newbie as well...
So hoping someone reads, maybe can also help me, as I have same issue.
I installed stock firmware "P7500OXAKI1_P7500XXKI1_P7500XXKI1" downloaded from SamMobile.
This to get my Singapore model become a Europe model with all languages there.
I did not root the system first, so hope that is okay.. Everything seems to work fine.
But, if I try to update on the Galaxy Tab itself, it says there is a 99Mb update available?? Is it safe to download and install this on the tablet directly? Or will it like block my tablet?
Thanks guys

xxlp2 Problem... Help !

hi there,
I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy s2 UK unlocked from a friend, the kernel says 3.0.15-i9100xxlp2-cl57619 [email protected] #3 which i believe is a beta unstable version of ICS.
This version is very buggy i cant even add images to contacts, i have tryed flashing other kernels which just lock up the phone, plus i cannot upgrade this via kies "kies your device does not support software upgrading via kies"...
my question is what kernel do i need to flash onto this with either a stable ICS version or a stock gingerbread so i can update via kies...
Regards

How do I update to ICS ?

Hey guys,
I used Odin3 One-Click Downloader to flash UCKH7-CL503881 stock kernel and system package. When I connect my phone to Kies, it says that I have the latest firmware: Android Version 2.3 & Baseband Version UCKK6.
It is not showing the ICS firmware available for update. Could someone tell me why ?
Thanks !
Hey I'm sorry guys. I kept searching after I posted this and magically I found a post that said to type in the serial number of the phone into Kies when the phone is disconnected to download ICS.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Thanks.

[Q] Firmware Upgrade 4.3

Hi guys, hope all of you are fine doing well. I am using Galaxy S III International Version I-9300 came from UK upgraded to Android 4.3. Today when I connected my phone to KIES, following message appeared
Firmware Upgrade available for your phone:
Current firmware version : PDA:MK6 / PHONE:MK1 / CSC:MK4 (VOD)
Latest firmware version : PDA:NA5 / PHONE:NB1 / CSC:NB1 (VOD)
I've searched on internet, but the latest firmware version as per KIES is also 4.3. do I need to perform this Upgrade or not ? ? ?
NA5 is just a newer build firmware of android 4.3 than MK6... so if you just want your phone updated only then go ahead with it... if you are happy if the current version then I would say stay with it..
But if you feel some lag in your current build then just go ahead with it.. it may improve your user experience a bit as newer build is considered to be with few fixes obviously...

Hi, newbie to the forums but I have the same issue with my wifes S3. The only difference is that the OTA says there is an upgrade, but this fails and says to use Kies.
When using Kies to upgrade it seems to go ok, the device firmware is downloaded/passed to the S3.... But when the S3 reboots and I connect it back to Kies it says the upgrade still needs to happen??
Anyone else getting this problem?
