Newest Gingerbread version for Samsung GS 2

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
This package has: PDA: XWKJ3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

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.

There is no custom recovery for our phone. I hope that someone will be able to build one. I've got the Hong Kong version and flashed it with Taiwan rom because it was 10D and I had 10b.
http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-g-pro-2-d838-v10e-firmware-rom.html you need to download the 16GB version.
you can flash it with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I'm not responsible for any damage that you will cause to your phone.

Hi Sarvesh,
Even I am in need for the LG Indian version rom but its not available and hence I did not even root. If you install the Hong Kong version and need to go for the warranty repairs. LG CS will detect that the rom has been changed and hence will not give warranty. This is the only reason I have not rooted my phone yet.
guys is there a way to extract the rom from the phone directly. If yes, can you please guide me so that I can extract the rom and save it somewhere in the cloud so that everyone can benefit.
Regards,
Kailash

Hi Guys,
I dont see why you can't root your phones. You can always come back to stock using the LG Mobile Support tool. I had softbricked my phone a few weeks back and was able to restore my phone with stock LG ROM losing the root access.

Hi Sarvesh,
I kind thought of that but after rooting. So after changing a lot of ROMS and playing with the system i finally got a way out (just incase i need warranty) Can you send me a screenshot of your software version screen(Settings>About phone>Software information) ?
Here's what i tried.
1) Installed a custom rom
2) then installed a stock rom HKG version 10a
3) then i ran towelroot again to root the device
4) then edited build.prop file to edit information like build version, build number etc)
5) rebooted and saw the info. it worked. Then unrooted the phone.
IT WORKED > So basically i have stock rom which shows I have the Indian version
Please pm me the screenshot or send it here and i'll tell you every line that you need to edit. :good:

Hi Sarvesh,
Sorry for a delayed response, was out of connectivity areas. Looks like you have already installed a different stock. Because as far as i know the sotware version should have -IND-XX at the end.....However,
Once you have root, download and install the build.prop editor (you'll find it on google play)
Once done edit the following entries.
-ro.build.display.id =KOT49i.D83810d
- ro.lge.swversion= D83810d-IND-XX
(where 'd' is the version...fo it can be f as well. But keep both same)
That should make your ROM look like stock indian.
Then using supersu pro unroot the phone.

Here is a thread to install TWRP custom recovery, root the device and install a custom 7.1 nougat ROM. There may be other GT-7500 ROMs that you can use also, but, this one should work for you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/complete-guide-to-root-update-samsung-t3724116
As long as your device is already working with your network/carrier, you shouldn't need to flash anything or modify anything to get the device radio/modem to work with your network after you flash the ROM.
