Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5

So do i download the code of where the phone was from or where I am now? Because this phone is unlocked and bought in UK and I'm using it in Canada atm

simple rule :
1. google "samsung kies", download it
2. once you installed, check if there are updates for kies
(make sure the kies installed is latest version)
3. plug your s2 to usb port
4. wait untill kies detected your s 2
5. if kies detected and there is notification new upgrade is ready ( ie to ICS ), then bingo ! if not, it simply means that samsung has not rolled out the ICS for your s 2 version ( UK/Canada )
* make sure backup before upgrade for good practice
6. enjoy

App won't update or install.

OK, well I have searched and cannot find a solution for my problem. Long story short bought a phone on craigslist, it had a version of ICS on it, Unknown on the version.
Problem: Phone will not download any new apps, or update any apps. When I click download and install.
It will pop up say downloading status bar, then immediately says download is unsuccessful and the status bar goes away.
Goal would to be to have my apps install and update correctly.
Flashed it to stock gingerbread version off this site. Under the software for skyrocket.
I have cleared cache on phone and restarted several times with no success.
Settings apps market clear cache and all that jazz

That link is to a thread with stock GB (2.3.5 and 2.3.6) as well as ICS 4.0.3 firmware (Odin tar links and CWM flashable zip links). Read through it... lots of good info.

[Q] All steps to flash custom Rom onto branded stock rom?

Dear all, this is my first post on XDA and I have absolutely no experience with rooting or flashing roms. I have a Sensation XE with the stock rom branded with O2 UK. Could someone tell me all of the steps I need to take to put a custom rom on it, specifically Android Revolution HD, DarkSense or ViperS (have not decided yet)?
Connect ur smart phne to ur official htc pc suite nd search 4 any firmware related options.
then put ur phn in download mode and there must b an option to enter ur model no. Serial no. Etc.proceed as asked . that's it.

Dear Bob. The first six steps are as follows: search, search, search, read, read, read.
The information you need, given you have no experience, is extensive. But all of it already exists on the forums!
So for STARTERS, try this, this, this, and this.
Seriously, knowledge is power. The more you read before you try anything, the less trouble you're likely to run into, and the less likely you are to be posting something like "HALP PLS i BRICKED my fone, PLS HLP ME :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:"
Good luck :good:

Android 4.1 update to GT-P3100 in Spain?
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" GSM+WiFi GT-P3100 in Spain, running stock Android 4.0.3 plus CF-Auto-Root.
I understand that Android 4.1 has been available for sometime across Europe .. but the Software Update button in Settings says that no update is available for my device, nor does Kies find any update.
What's the path to get Android 4.1 on a Galaxy Tab 2 7" GSM+WiFi GT-P3100 in Spain?
And, is there anything special to do/ avoid/ know about applying the 4.1 update to a CF-Auto-Root'ed device?
Thanks,
-Jay

Your country???
And to update you can use kies(if not rooted)
Else if rooted my suggestion would be go to samfirmware download latest version for your location and flash via odin.

Dude, wait for it to be available in the philippines.
I already tried JB but a bit buggy that why i reverted back to ICS.
And so far my choice is right.
Also not all apps works on JB yet.
Be patient or try some JB custom rom.
Thats what xda for, to give us what those gadget companies denies.

Same thing here in Portugal: P3100 8GiB Wifi only and no JB update... Tried Kies and still got the message that no new Firmware available...
I always use English UK on my device, identify myself as UK in Google account, used a Proxy for UK ip and still no go...
Does anyone knows if Samsung is not giving JB to the 8GiB WiFi version of P3100??? (if that's so i'm gonna root and flash)...
Lets just hope they release that much awaited JB but i think its gonna take a while since their still releasing gadget in ICS mode, IMO they are more focused on the Note family.

Hey guys. Need some advice. I got this device from a friend. She bought it in China. It's a 3G GT-P6200. Now, the issues is that I don't know to which carrier it belonged to, and I want to flash an ICS stock ROM on it.
Here's the data:
Baseband version: P6200ZCKL2
Kernel: [email protected] #3
Build number: HTJ85B.ZKLC2 P6200ZCKL2
I'd like to flash the stock ROM for my country, Serbia. This is what I get in the recovery mode. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks in advance

Uhmmmm is it open line? I think thats your main problem.. you can check if theres a firmware for your country in www.samfirmware.com or just use the latest firmware mentioned by someone above..
If you want to flash to flash firmware.. not in the recovery mode but in odin mode.. power button + volume down..

Yes and yes and yes..
You wont be bricking your tablet by flashing roms from different country.. my tab was from the philippines and i flashed UK ICS rom..
No problem with it..
A way of bricking you tab is wiping from ICS STOCK RECOVERY..
Remember that well.. but wiping from HC Stock recovery is safe and from CWM..
