Help please? :) - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE HD, and I know this is going to sound fairly of noob-ish, but I'm new to Android.
I have two questions.
1. I'm with Bell Mobility and the release date for ICS was supposed to be this month, and I've been plugging and unplugging my phone into the computer like a madwoman, and Kies is still saying that my 2.3.6. is the latest firmware. Am I having a problem with Kies?
2. I'd prefer not to wait for ICS any longer than I already have, is there anyone who can help me with a guide to flashing a custom ROM and acquiring ICS that way?

[Q] Galaxy S

I have and unlocked Galaxy S that was previously on Orange.I now an o2 sim installed but Kies will not let me update to Froyo?
Any suggestions?
wrong section possibly?
try putting this under the captivate forum or device specific. it will bring a crowd that will be better apt to answer you,
update without kies
I think you should update without kies. There are so many custom rom here in this forum and tutorial on how to update/upgrade using Odin.

[Q] Different region releases of "official" Samsung Galaxy S2 ICS firmware?

What are the differences between the different regional versions of ICS? Is it just languages and bloat-ware, or is there more to it than that?
You know, like modem and phone might operate with different tel-co and country specific standards????
I am in Australia but have the stock ROM of the latest international version ICS LPQ flashed to my SGS2 i9100 though Odin.
I was just wanting to know if there was any advantage of flashing the Australian version of ICS LPQ when it is finally released here. (however long that will take?)
I recon my tel-co (Telstra AKA: Hellstra) will take 3-6 months if the last GB update was anything to go by. hehe.
I'm sure there are plenty of others with similar questions.
Appreciate an anwer please, as I have been trawling the forums and can't find anything.
Cheers

Official U.S. ICS ROM released yet?

As the title says, just wondering if the official US rom has been released yet OTA or otherwise. I think (pretty sure) I'm running the U.K. version right now and I only have 1 minor problem which is the reminder to setup software updates doesn't work. Also, I'm thinking about giving this tablet to my GF for Christmas and getting the Galaxy Tab 7.7 for myself for the better screen.
Thanks for the help!
Bump?
If you're asking if Samsung issued an upgrade to ICS for the 7.0 Plus in the US, the answer is yes. AFAIK, it had to be installed using Kies.
I can confirm this, I just updated my tab yesterday via kies and it's now in ICS 4.04
OK cool. I'll flash back to stock and do an upgrade to the official
On a side note, I also followed the root instructions under the CWM 6.0 thread in development and it still works :good:

[Q] Alltel SCH-R760 Help (Flashing)

The other day I let the Samsung Company lead me when they said there was an update for my phone. Thinking that I would enjoy the lovely 4.0 ICS as a change from the Nice 2.3.6 GB. I let Samsung talk me into flashing my alltel phone. Low and behold they gave me a USC flash to replace my current Alltel network. This is the first time doing something this drastic to my cellphone and now I don't have any data communication on my phone. Does anyone know where I can find an alltel gingerbread flash for the Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I've searched (what I feel as) Everywhere and can't find anything. My phone is only 2-3 months old so I would prefer not to root it.

I am trying to root.. I also have Alltel Samsung Galaxy S II 4.52 inch Model SCH-R760.. It's also running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, and since there won't be any OTA Official updates for this particular model, I am going to try to root and update to ICS or Jellybean.. I have looked at several forums, and I have never root before.. Yep I'm a NOB.. Can anyone help me, who has this device and successfully rooted..
Of course I would rather not root, but to the best of my knowledge, it's the only way I will be able to get ICS or Jellybean..

[Q] Kies won't offer latest firmware. Stuck w/ GB

So my dad and I both have the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Skyrocket from Rogers; I727R. A couple days ago I updated mine via Kies from Gingerbread 2.3.5 to Jellybean 4.1.2. Today I tried updating his (also GB 2.3.5), but once I connect his device, Kies says it already has the latest firmware.
Is there a way around this? I explained my situation to Samsung Support over the phone and the representative's suggestion was that "even if someone had the exact same phone model and carrier, the update could be rolled out at different times." And I was advised to just wait. Hasn't Jellybean been out for a few months now?
I tried a hard reset on his phone and it still didn't offer any firmware updates. Can anyone help? Thanks.
If Kies does not work for you, read the stickies. In them you will find all the directions to use Odin to update your Dad's phone. You will also find in there all the files you need to do it. Good luck!
