If u want ICS you have to use Kies on the computer.
Maybe cuz lies connect with Italian source from Samsung and it don't have i777 there.
Root your phone and try any custom ROM.

Hello all,
So I have a bit of a weird problem. I read about The Google Now for ICS Project with Voice Search now added (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224) and I decided to give it a shot. My first problem might be that my phone is not rooted. Now my phone is not this exact model but I cannot find a correct forum for my phone. It is a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S II LTE phone. To use the ICS Google Now Project will I need to root my phone?
Next question is when I plug my phone in, activate USB storage and search through my phone, I do not have the folders they say I should. I am looking for systems/apps which I do not have. Any reason behind this?
Thank you to anybody who is able to help me out
Your phone is an SGH-I727R. Also known as a skyrocket which has its own forum. Also you do have a system/apps folder but in order to access it your phone must be rooted.
Omg what's with all the slowrockets here and a Rogers one at that. Guess att and rogers are pretty similar? Lol...yeah...

So I just bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi. This is my first Samsung device as I have been using my Xperia PLAY for over a year now and do have that all modded, rommed out etc. That being said I realize that Sammy's products are a different beast in comparison to Sony Ericcson's for rooting/modding. I would like to know if:
1. Theres a stock ROM (ICS/JB) available. Non-Samsung based other then Cyanogenmod. Basically a pure Google based ROM.
2. A good guide I can read up on how to root this thing and put a custom recovery on it.
Also, I read after I bought it thats its only got 16gb of memory and NO SD slot...... is this true? Not a deal breaker more of a curiosity question. Got mine today for $180 factory refurbished from dailysteals.com
I appreciate any feedback, directions.

Awesome! Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
A friend of a friend was giving us a lift today, and she asked if we could turn on navigation on her phone since she was in the middle of driving. Her phone is a Galaxy S II, definitely i9100 and not the other variants (4.3" not 4.5", physical home button). She was running it on Telus but she bought it second-hand a few weeks ago so I assume it was a Bell or Virgin model.
Anyway I could see from afar that it was most definitely still running Gingerbread, and I wondered why it hadn't gotten the ICS update. I asked if I could see the phone and I went to the About screen - it's running 2.3.6, and the build number says Super ROM. Then I looked in her app drawer and saw Superuser. She is not the type who knows how to root a phone or would even want to, so the likely explanation is that the seller had installed a custom ROM and neglected to revert it before sale.
I've never owned an i9100... If she were to ask for help returning it to stock, would the simplest way just be to flash the Bell ICS ROM using Odin? Are there any precautions I'd need to take in case something the last owner had installed would be incompatible with the flash?

+1 or not wait for official jellybean for her phone and flash that...no point in upgrading to ics.

To be clear, she is a non power user. The ideal ROM for her is whatever would've been on there by now if it had never been hacked. So I believe that'd be ICS.

Just flash the ics of bell version since shes not a power user i did the same for wife shes has no intentions of using any custom roms for her just basic use
and i assume you know where too get that and yes flash in odin the stock version either from here you can get it or samfilmware ics version for 19100m
cheers
Thanks!
Actually I should add... The SuperROM she had on there said the device was i9100G. Is it possible that's just because it's what it says in the ROM, and it's still really an i9100m? Cause now I see they have different processors...

Hey. You better first make sure that the Galaxy S unlock tool isn't there, otherwise that's how the seller sim-unlocked the phone. Putting it on ics may lock it back up but you can unlock it again. If you move it to jellybean though, the unlock tool doesn't work yet. Ics is good enough for her.

Hey I'm also looking to update my phone and I'm sort of in the same situation as this girl. I bought my phone second hand and found out later that it was rooted and has CyanogenMod 7.1 on it. My model is the I9100 and my provider is Telus. I was looking to update it to CM10, but one of my concerns is that it might get locked again and I won't be able to use my phone on Telus. Should I just settle for CM9? Will it for sure get locked again? I'm a noob.

Presumably if it's genuinely an i9100G and not m (I'm not sure, as I only saw the phone once), it wasn't from a Canadian carrier. In which case who knows how it was unlocked.

Hi, I have been searching for a ROM that I can use on my Galaxy S3 mini i18190N, its got NFC included. Is there one? I have rooted it so for with Cyanogen MOD by Nova, but its not with NFC, and it has major battery problems and the Wifi-Direct doesnt work. I have been with them since last December, but nothing has changed. I am not an expert, so would need a little bit of direction. I have been running the nightlies so I have flashed my phone almost every night since December. I have been using Clockwork Touch to Flash the ROM. My Carrier is EE, in the UK.
Thank you
Wrong forum, this is for the i9300 only, try Google.

whoa dude
1. android 4.1.1 would be cm10, not cm9. unless you're selling a phone with android 4.0.4, which would be cm9. don't confuse the customer.
2. this phone has a 3G radio only, no 4G.
correction
You are correct and i knew that i was totally mesmorized by the sick ass boot animation which clearly states CM9 BTW can someone tell me how to extract that image and install it on my S2 T989?

Skep, i believe his new phone (or phone he is posting from) is the s2 t989 and old phone is fascinate.
The most stable 4.4 rom in my opinion right now is paranoid android beta 3

next time google the phone specs lol
obviously there is no magic involved here if the phone didn't support 4g from the factory then it never will you are talking about differneces in hardware
something you *should* know by now
also I don't recommenced selling a phone preloaded with cyanogen mod the customer may have issues getting it to activate with verizon afaik last I checked you can not activate a phone running cyanogen mod you need to be running the stock firmware first activate THEN flash to whatever
Im more of a software guy never once had or will have verizon as a carrier or sprint so I wasnt sure and the guy asked so as a stand up guy instead of bull****ting him to sell the phone i asked and phone is advertised with cm rom installed and also for the choice to be flashed back to the powerwashed 2.3.4 GB so thanks for the input but I do *KNOW* how to list and sell a phone.

Not yelling just friendly suggestions.
