Hey! Is it possible to update to one of the 4.1.1 PDAs from sammobile . com (say Germany) even if my device is not from there? If it is do I have to root the device or is Odin enough? My current build is BUBLH2.
For downloads from sammobile just Odin is good. But what country variant does your tab have? It is not advisable to flash a different version....
And this is wrong forum.... You may not get good suggestions here. Above given are general advise.

Hey thx for the response. My tablet is from Romania Vodafone. So I shouldn't flash a german version of JB?
No I think you might brick your device.... Better confirm with a developer of your device...
My advice would be, if you're a looking for a stock update wait for one from your carrier. If you re a people user, get a good customers m rom.
I suppose xda has got a separate Dev portal for you device...

Hi all, I'm new to posting here but a vet over at samdroid.
I've looked around quite a bit and my problem seems to be unique...annoyingly.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies. I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
I was thinking of trying odin (i was a pro at updating roms on my spica), but don't know if using an offical update through odin instead of kies would void my warranty etc. NOTE: I don't want to actually root my phone (yet)
I hope that all made sense and any help would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Oli

make sure you got i9100 not any other varient
does other O2 in your area got ICS via KIES
odin is fine and will not void warrenty aslong you dont root and flash back the ROM you have now. you have to find this ROM first if you want to go back.

well o2 have officially released updates in the UK, if thats what you mean? will there be a thread on this forum with the offical ICS ROM or will i have to find it via google?
I got my S II on monday from o2 and I beleive its the I9100p not the I9100, if yours has NFC written on the back its the I9100p and for some reason there is no ICS on kies yet for it

what do you mean by this?
also is there an official rom for my particular S2 that can be updated using odin? or even an unofficial one that wont void warranty?
thanks for all the help guys
This Thread has instructions and official ICS.
Plz note that this is official and will have TouchWiz and does look extremely similar to Gingerbread and without root and custom theme you will not get that ICS feel. You will however get most of the goodies that ICS has to offer.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies.
Well that's not exactly true you upgrade if their is an upgrade for your exact phone .
Kies has firmware for GT-i9100KAO2U product code .
I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
But not for your phones product code which obviously does not match the released O2 firmware .O2 may well and probably over twelve months had more than one phone for sale unless contract has different codes to PAYG .
Standard older O2 UK firmware for xxx Product codes is on Kies its also on this forum in a legitimate flash via Odin .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
legitimate O2 firmware not stock Samsung tested and works on O2 .
Or you can go to Google find CHECKFUS and try to download from your codes .
jje
you still didnt confirm if you have i9100P which i think you have but i could'nt find the Stock ROM your running now, so you can go back to it later if required.
if you have i9100P this thread has good news for you though the actuall thread is stupid and useless...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24030713
i think what happened to u is you got the model which is i9100P not the usuall i9100, thus all on normal model are on ICS and you still on GB. you can wait for it to come or use the i9100 ROM's but please search if that is actually possible.

i read somewhere that i can use i9100 firmwares on my i9100P, so which of those 2 links would you recommend? also, is there a lot of risk or is it pretty easy and you're just covering yourself?
finally, if i update like this, will i be able to update officially through kies when the update is finally released for me?
no im not covering my self...... i tell you in points....
1: you got I9100P on O2 for which i cant find a firmware for.
2: because you cant go back to your old firmware which is O2 you will get into warrenty problems

ok, i guess i'll wait for the official update then. thanks for your help
here are your options if you still want to continue.
1: you can flash stock firmware for i9100.
2: you can flash custom firmware
3: you can flash O2 branded firmware for i9100.
but in all cases NFC wont work by default.
plus now you cant go back to O2 i9100P firmware as it cannot be found anywhere... atleast by me.

Hey everyone, this is my 1st post on xda , hopefully not the last one .
I live in Egypt now & my question is about buying a Samsung Galaxy S2.
From my research about latest firmwares, ICS is not yet released for middle-eastern SGS2.
So my question is, am I able to install a firmware from another country that had the ICS released into my middle eastern purchased phone or not ?
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thank you !

Yea. Go to www.sammobile.com and find a firmware you want and flash through Odin

Oh Great ! that's good news.
Bec. I read in a diff. forums that doing that, bricks your phone.
and btw, does it matter which country's firmware I choose ?
Thanks again !
You brick when you use different model Rom and flash. Example i9100 to i9100G = brick
I9100G to i9100 = brick
plus we have a leaked jplpc Rom, which works just fine

Hi,
First you root the phone (there are many topics on that).
Then, you don't need to use odin (only for Lightning rom's, but everything is cristal clear with this rom), if you want to test other roms/kernel.
Enjoy.
If you are looking at rooting/installing a new stock ROM/firmware you better check that your Micro USB cable is working properly. A faulty one which may disconnect in the middle of a setup will create a big mess.

Hi Guys
I'm a newbie here... I've done thorough searches here, but no-one's posted a query like I seem to have?!
I purchased an Australian SGS3 I9300 on the Optus network from the UK eBay site (this wasn't mentioned in the auction, so I expected to receive a full UK firmware/spec phone), it comes with Jellybean which I'm not a massive fan of...
Am I able to downgrade the australian 4.1.2 Jellybean firmware, to either an international or UK (O2 Telefonica) ICS 4.0 (which I love)?
Is it just a general download of the international firmware from Sammobile and flash through Odin?
Any help and advise appreciated

I would root the phone first and make a backup of your current firmware. Then just get the ICS FW you want to flash and do it through odin.

I was 'hoping' not to root it, and just do it as a general firmware download?

wouldn't you rather have a backup just in case though? you can always use triangle away and then once you flash with odin you will be back to stock anyway!
Get a copy of the firmware that is currently on the phone or at least make a note of it .
Then via Odin flash a stock UK rom from stock rom thread or from sammobile.com .

Thanks for your reply guys - very helpful
I'm going to make the backup and install the new (older) firmware
Hi guys, sorry to post another question but this forum has been very valuable for me in my job! thanks for that.
I currently have received a phone to fix, samsung galaxy III. GT-I9300, UK
I'm only familar with tablets really, this is the first time i have looked at a samsung phone!
I currently have the following
Phone booted into Download/Odin mode
Odin opened, Phone is detected! (needed a new cable but so far so good)
Can someone guide me to a link to the official stock firmware for this phone? i'm looking but there seems to be so many differerent types from different regions with different networks! 02/T-mobile etc, confusing :'(
I can't use anything custom as this is a business phone, thanks for any help!
I have absolutely no idea which to get!.
many thanks
Go to sammobile.com
Not sure who your network provide is but The link below is for Tmobile UK.
If that's not the one for you're model, just do a country search.
Downloading is very slow, might take an hour or two.
Sorry link removed.
Sign up on Sam mobile or try searching for latest official update for GT I9300 on Google with UK baseband
I am sure u can find all that u need
