Newest Gingerbread version for Samsung GS 2 - Android General

Hi, I am currently running V.2.3.4 on my Samsung GS 2. The phone is unlocked purchased on Internet and I am with AT&T in US.
My question is how can I get 2.3.5 or higher if it's official released by Google says for UK but not for US. I don't even know Google did release it in US or not.
If not, can I still do it and where can I get it?
Any reponses would be appreciated.

Do you have the international or the AT&T version? The international version has 2.3.6 already.
You can find out which version you have in the system information. The international version is the GT-I9100.

Thanks for replying. My carrier is AT&T but I bought the phone unlocked online so it is the international version ( no AT&T name on it ) Is 2.3.6 official release or simply a beta?
Thanks

Official release. However it's not available to everyone through KIES yet. I don't know why. Maybe because Samsung handles updates crappy or because KIES is crappy.
You live in the US so I'll find a suitable update for you (English language and such). Just give me some time. I REALLY need to go sleep now. Just tell me what CSC you have asap. The best would be if you post your output of the System-Information from Android. Kernel, Baseband,....such stuff. Do you use Windows, Linux or OSX?

2.3.4 seems like the latest version for your device (so far at least): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.

I got the 2.3.4 from KIES yesterday but every body is talking about 2.3.6 ( may be in some countries )I would like to get the newest one of course. If Google didn't release for US market then I'll get it myself.

What is your current CSC code?

In that thread it is. And if it isn't, kies would have notified that there was a further update (so logically, it has to be).

Remember there are many variants of the Samsung Galaxy SII. Some have that update (as shown in the thread), some don't (like yours - XWKI4 (KI1)). You could interchange if you want to; See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301772.

That's right, but if he tells me what CSC he has, he might has luck. There is a 2.3.6 firmware with multicsc and if his is amongst them, he can safely flash it, because it's english anyway.
If he has no luck, he still has options:
Wait for an update or go with MIUI or CyanogenMod and therefore 2.3.7.

Interchange? Meaning I can still use the 2.3.6 that is suppose for other GS 2 right?

GT-I9100 is GT-I9100 so the firmware will work on your device. But depending on your CSC, you might get problems with mobile data and such.
CSC is a problem in stock-roms only. Custom-roms just work, so those are an alternative too. You can always flash back later.

TheSniperFan,
So which firmware that I should get I mean the stable one of course. Can you post me the link for download if you happened to know.
Thanks
P.S. I've done the upgrade on my wife's Samsung Galaxy 3 I5800 one time ( from 2.1 to 2.2 ) The phone was not for US market as a result I could not get updates but I found the firmware & instructions online and finally got it done.

I just saw quite a bit of people in Android forum complaining about 2.3.6 causing battery drainage after the upgrade. Is it real?

Let me check this. I can't tell now, because I've never used 2.3.6. I used 2.3.7 right away and now my ROM is based on 4.0.1. If the battery is a problem, I'll find you a 2.3.5. one.

EDIT:
Indeed many people on the internet complain about that battery-life got worse. Here on xda and various different sites. I think you should go with 2.3.5 then. It's still an upgrade and people like it.
The latest one for you should be this one:
XWKJ3
Android 2.3.5

TheSniperFan,
Thanks for all the help. I think I better go for 2.3.5 just to be safe.
Thanks thanks again!

Firmware upgrade FAILED! HELP!
I was upgrading my GS 2 from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 by following the links provided here some how the upgrade failed. In the mean time my GS2 STILL SHOW DOWNLOADING and said DO NOT UNPLUG THE CABLE so I waited, waited I think it was more than 12 to 15 min finally I unplugged it, the phone was still in downloading mode and didn't respond to all buttons so I removed the battery, tried back the downloading mode again then it pops up the message " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again "
But Kies said " Device not responding. To resolve the issue reboot the device " which I've tried a numerous time and nothing happen. Can some one help please!!!
Thanks
UPDATE:
I just got it fixed. While I was waiting I decided to go ahead to do whatever it takes what I did was re-do the process by opened up the Odin on PC suprisingly the downloading bar on phone & Odin both appearing while the " Firmware upgrade encountered a issue Please use KIES for recovery mode " message still there and Odin said it passed, the phone rebooted and I checked the version which is 2.3.5 I also checked all my files nothing is lost. How & why I have no idea may be some Android experts in this forum can tell me. Now everything is all good. I learned my lesson I should kept waiting before unplug or remove the cable/battery whether the process is succeded or not.

[Q] Help on updating Xoom (Just bought now)

Hello. I just bought my motorla xoom. Its a pretty old tablet but i still prefer this than those galaxy tabs.
When i try to update, it says it has the latest version but then in the system it is still 3.2. How do you update this tablet? Is it not allowed yet?
Information on my tablet is:
Model Number:
MZ604
Android Version:
3.2
Firmware configuration version:
GAS_ASIA_HUBBLEWIFIHKTWNGEN_P007
Kernel version:
2.6.36.3-00042-g3c1a41e
[email protected] #1
Build Number
H.6.6-27
I hope someone can help me.. im just new at this..
I just bought mine too. It arrived today actually. It came with version 3.1, and, as soon as I went to software updates under Settings, it updated to version 4.0.4
I believe it depends on which country you are.
Unless you want to GEDify your Xoom (as I will do very very soon), then you will receive always the newest updates directly from Google.
BTW, I'm from Brazil.

It is rolled out to everyone in every country, bot NOT at the same time. One day you will get ICS and then JB...
Gedify comes from GED which stands for “Google Experience Device”. A “Google Experience Device” receives its updates directly from Google, without any customization or modification from the device manufacturer.
This is only possible if you flash the US version of Xoom's rom.
MZ604 here in Brazil, there in Philippines and in the US, is MZ604, so there's no problem doing that.
I'm doing it tomorrow!
BTW, if I helped you, hit the Thanks button!
It's done! And Jelly Bean is freaking amazing!

Hey man, i sent my xoom back since i had some problems with my macro shots.. they dont seem to focus well. and when i try it with flash, i only get white pictures. is that normal?
Can you also send me links on how to root-flash-GEDify xoom? if possible though without unlocking bootloader... thanks man...
Unfortunately I won't be able to help you with this... I rarely take photos... even with my Sony smartphone that has an awesome camera.
But I can take some photos to test and see if this is normal. Then I post here my views.
Rooting your xoom won't be possible without unlocking the bootloader. Unless you search for methods using exploits. But those methods didn't work for me but it might be worth a try. So unlocking the bootloader is the best way to root. It's save, pretty easy and you also have the ability to install a custom Rom later on to get jelly bean (I am currently running the cm10 nightlies)

Can you share your Firmware Version, Kernel Version and Build Number as well? After updating to 4.0.4, did your Xoom still have the "Quickoffice HD" app? What I have read from the forums is that GEDifying your Xoom would loose this app since the US-based Xoom does not have Quickoffice HD buddled with the device.

[Q] Which model is my Nexus S exactly?

Total noob here.I have a Galaxy Nexus S GSM phone running ICS.I do not know the exact model I have I suspect I am having the M200 variant.The guy who sold it to me in all probability rooted it to install ICS.I want to install Jelly Bean on it.My questions are(Please forgive the wall of text, I wanted to be as elaborate as possible)
1) How can I know if my phone has been rooted ? Can you install ICS without rooting and without an OTA update?I dont know what the previous owner did.
I found out that I have an unlocked bootloader.But When I try to install and run Voodoo Sound which requires a rooted device.It says
"Sorry,this device doesn't run a kernel supporting extended sound controls"
can I take it to mean the device is not rooted?
2) Can I find out definitively if my phone is M200 Nexus S?

Baseband M200KRKC1

I pulled out the battery and it just says i9020 on the back of it as well as the phone box.The box also says made in Korea and it was imported into Romania. (I live in India and i bought the phone someone imported into India )
MY IMEI starts with 3569 if that helps
3) I want to install Jelly Bean and no OTA update here.If I do not know conclusively if I am having M200 will it brick if I install 9020T Roms, I remember reading somewhere they are very similar and some early unofficial Jelly Bean builds for 9020T worked on M200.I do want to install Jelly Bean that is why I am looking at the Nexus Oneclick Tookit.Does it differentiate between M200 and I9020T builds?
Edit: I checked and I need to know model SOJU or SOJUK
Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in Advance
I looked at these threads but I cannot conclusively say this is an M200 version

I am 99.99% sure I have M200 and I think so do you
I did a lot of digging and I found these links.Apparently I cant post the links directly.The first two are secured and the last one is just regular.Just add in front

randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/m200/
Now check this with someone before you do this but I think you can just go to settings>About phone>System Updates>check now
Ideally this should update to ICS 4.0.4
I think Over The Air(OTA) updates should be safe for your data and is ideal for people like me who are new to Android.Just get this confirmed with someone who knows about it and you should be able to upgrade.
I think you should be able to upgrade to ICS.My problem is different.There is no JB out for M200.
I checked with an app called android system info. It says my model is nexus S and priduct is Soju. On the factory image website of google, i saw a factory image JB for nexus S. Not sure what to do now. Also, i tried the OTA update, it gets stuck at the White triangle with green droid screen. I desperately want to shift to JB or ICS.
WHAT TO DO???

U sure it says Soju and not Sojuk?Mine says Sojuk.If only I had known it was so simple to find out my model
Just go to settings-> about phone and look at the baseband. The model is the one before the XX. e.g I9020, I9023, m200 etc
By the way there is no Galaxy Nexus S, it's just Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus, no combinations of the two.
If the phone is rooted you should see superuser in the app drawer.
Just use the search function to find out how to install jellybean on the m200, it's been answered

You have a dev phone so I don't see why you don't want to root your phone. Just look into the advantages you get from rooting once (again) and then decide for yourself!

good day guys! please help me with my problem.
i have recently bought a used nexus s. i have acquired this phone because i know that it uses the wolfson audio chip and i want to make it a music player by using the voodoo sound app (this app needs root access). my problem is i don't know what version it is hence i can't root it for fear of flashing the wrong kernel and bricking the phone. i'm in the philippines so if the phone was bought here, it must be an i9020 international version. besides, there are no korean apps or characters present. i took a picture of the sticker under the battery and saw texts in korean and then it says SHW-M200K at the end of the first line. i know that this is the code for the korean version. so is it right for me to assume that i have the korean version? but then again in the fourth line of the sticker i saw text that says FCC ID: A3LGTi9020. this is the code for the international version so i'm confused. when i checked the settings, about phone, it showed android version as 4.1.2 and baseband as XXKI1. lately i saw a korean version of the nexus s and the baseband starts with M200..... however, my phone's baseband is XXKI1. i'm really confused please help me. i'm planning to root this using this toolkit but i don't know what's the version of my phone.

brother DJBhardwaj, what do you mean by GT-i9020T? you mean to say this is the international version?

As somewhere i read on the internet that you can change your baseband version by changing radio..
I'd take some of pictures of back but didn't get clear anyone of them, said i've no other camera so you can see mine one board..
You can check your IMEI number online and they will tell you what your model number actually is..
----> http://imei-number.com/imei-number-lookup/
Or anyother site you may check...
thank you very much for your help brother hito. as indicated in the IMEI lookup, my device is a korean nexus s with model number SHW-M200K.

[Q] 3.2 to ICS via Kies on galaxy 7.7 tab

Hi...checked out the answers and they don't seem to answer my question, so here goes....i have a 7.7 galaxy tab purchased in UK but now in Saudi Arabia...it's running Android 3.2...i've been told, if i was still in the UK it would have upgraded by now to ICS but as i'm not i have to upgrade via Kies...i downloaded Kies to my laptop and awaited for the ICS install package but couldn't find it. I tried looking for updates but it says i have the latest....is there anything else i can do to get ICS.....i guess when i return to the UK it may upgrade...i don't know but there must be a way now....thanks for all your help...from a newbie...Mike
the ICS update for UK is not release... yet... so if you are waiting for the official UK firmware... you need to wait more... currently there is Austria,HK,India,China and Asia release.

Never been a real fan of Kies. Mobil ODIN is the way I have found to be almost "idiot-proof". Actually it almost won't let you do bad things like re-partition! Has Everroot so you can flash and inject root saving re-rooting.
Actually you need not wait from region-specific firmware. I flashed the Austrian ICS firmware and it runs beautifully!

Never been a real fan of Kies. Mobil ODIN is the way I have found to be almost "idiot-proof". Actually it almost won't let you do bad things like re-partition! Has Everroot so you can flash and inject root saving re-rooting.
Actually you need not wait from region-specific firmware. I flashed the Austrian ICS firmware and it runs beautifully!

What is this Odin...will it mess with my o/s...i like my tab the way it is....what does Odin do? Can someone explain please...thanks..Mike
Mike..Odin is a program that you use to 'flash' your software (HC, ICS) up-grades yourself, instead of waiting for the OTA (over the air) or via Kies.
There's PC Odin which is a windows based PC program and there's Mobile Odin which installs to your phone via Google Play Store.
You say that you are happy with your tab just the way it is...??..??
If so... then dont worry about up-dating your tabs software.
good luck...

Hi,
I had purchased a Galaxy Tab 7.7 in Singapore and I have been using it in India ever since. I have been hearing that the official ICS is out and is available through KIES, but I have tried several times and it still shows Gingerbread as the latest firmware available. Also contacted Samsung support but they are unable to help . Please suggest what do I do ?
Cheers

Upgrading skyrocket from ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4

hello mates,
i have an issue with samsung kies, i'm trying to update my skyrocket's firmware from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and when i connect it via USB, kies recognizes it perfectly, the problem comes when it says the following: ''your device does not support software upgrading via Kies'', theres a picture on attachments showing what i'm saying.
does anybody has a fix for this? i really want to upgrade to see if i can use instagram, because the application crashes when i attemp to upload a picture.
thanks.

I think your going to need to use odin to flash to 4.0.4 because that firmware was a leaked build aka not supported. I can't find it right now but I think there was a one click odin for the final version(if you want to stay stock).

hello and thanks for the reply, i want to stay in stock version, mine is not even rooted, i just need to upgrade because that instagram issue is pissing me off, but i saw some people upgrading to 4.0.4 via Kies, so what's going on here?
oh by the way, is there a 4.0.4 official version for skyrocket? or it isn't out yet, because my friend just upgraded his atrix 2 to that version.
I have the official 4.0.4 version on my skyrocket.

The problem is you upgraded to a leaked release at some point. If you were on a official version you could have used Kies to upgrade to 4.0.4.
I think your best bet now is to flash I727UCLF6 with odin. that's the official version that Kies would put on your phone.

How to get stock rom from samsung?

Hi.
My phone is SM-N910CQ
Current android version is 6.0.1
I want to install Android 5.1.1 stock rom from Samsung.
I did not try any roms, Kies, Sammobile.
I think, Kies will install latest Android version.
I don't want to use Sammobile. It is not official.
I have never rooted. (If I need, I can.)
I have an idea to get stock rom from Samsung.
I cannot try because I don't know how to do it.
My idea is:
1 - To change my phone firmware version with older than current version. (It will need roots.)
For example: Android shows current version is 4.4.4. Actually Android is 6.0.1
2 - If it can be success, when I check my phone to update.
I can get stock rom from Samsung.
But. Even if it can be success, Samsung can give me the latest version. (So, 6.0.1) (I really don't know the results.)
Can it work?
What do you think about my idea and how can I do it?
Thank you.

There is nothing to worry about from Sammobile, many people use Samsung firmware from Sammobile. I've used firmware from Sammobile many times.
If you're looking for an "official Samsung site" offered by Samsung themselves to download your firmware, you won't find it. Samsung has an "official" site with downloads for their devices, but, they do not offer firmware for every model number/device they make. I've already looked, they don't have firmware for SM N910CQ there, they only have a few different firmware for a handful of SM-N910 variants.
If you want to flash your device, you have no choice but to get your firmware from somewhere other than Samsung themselves, whether you like or not. The rest of the community of Samsung users has to accept this fact, you are not any better than the rest of us.

Thank you for your reply.
My phone version does not appear on Sammobile. Thank you for looking it for me.
It seems I have to continue to use my phone with current Android version.
Also I have to take a backup of my rom to prevent future problems.

Here is 5.0.1 for your model number, are you in Turkey? If not, this is firmware may or may not work for you.

Thank you so much. That URL has been broken.
Except one thing my phone is fine.
After about a minute of playing, FPS starts to drop.
There can be many reasons for this. However, I found a strange solution.
However, this solution is valid for about a minute.
I return to the recently used apps panel. And I'm back in the game. Without closing the game.
I can play with 60 FPS for about one more minute. This is such a cycle.
I could not understand the reason for this. It looks like a software bug.
Do you have any information on this subject?
Thank you.
