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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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.

Maybe... But you can try it! Can you get it via OTA? If the answer is yes make it this way... you can abort installation once donwloaded and upload it searching it via Root explorer... Its only an idea..
But... you have 177 version... Its strange that you have an update... you have lastest froyo version...
Check out!
EDIT: Last version is 179...

no I don't have any update via ota, only via motorola software update....can you tell me if I can update with root permission without problem or is better remove them?

i lost root on my phone, it can't be a msu update....i don't know is a mistery

it's a repair, not an update, it "fixed" your rooted phone

sorry for bad english

New official update for HTC Chacha found 1.57.720.3

Hello Everyone,
I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3
I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)
I have a question:
If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??
Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.

Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

Tried what?
Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.
Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.

So Alex C.
1. this is not ICS?
2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

[Q] Stuck in 4.0.3

I have 2 Tab2's here and they are both bought in the same shop. one is fine, the other doesn't see there is an update. It's on 4.0.3 and when wanting to update it just says it's fully updated.
Now before trying to update with KIES i just wanted to know what is wrong. So wondering if this was a known problem and there was a fix or not.

Me

Updating is not a problem, it's just that the tablet which is stuck at 4.0.3 seems to have other troubles. With email for example. So i was thinking, maybe there is a known prroblem with certain tab2's

Finally, Global ROM Update ENCommon_V2.15

Hello fellas,
This morning I received a pop up notification on my phone screen stated there is a new update. Then I clicked on both Update now and Install now.
After the phone reboot, I go to Settings > System > System Update to check what the patch notes are but it is empty.
Afterwards, I tried to play PUBG mobile and launch the app, then there was ask for permission to access storage photos/videos etc and this tells me that this is for Redmagic time update.
And voila... Redmagic time is working perfectly now. For you who have issue with Redmagic time before like I do, go ahead and update your phone.
The update name is NX629J_ENCommon_V2.15

Anyone else got the update? Did you see the changelog?

I got the update yesterday. New security patch, some camera improvements, some new wallpapers.. Nothing to impressive..
Honestly, I was hoping for the dark mode...

I have global Rom, but I didn't receive any notification about software update. So can you tell us if YouTube L & R buttons was fixed in this update?! Tks

Hi.. yes L and R (youtube) is fixed on this update. I think this update fix redmagic time and youtube L R.
My country is Indonesia at SEA region and the only drawback in this update is that, it removes the setting "Deep process clean"
It is nowhere to be found in the phone, even with search, i typed deep and it listed Deep process clean under System, when I clicked it, it is not there, i guess it is hidden or remove. Tho I really love this setting because it does not hold any RAM or process running in the background/task manager.
I have raised this to support and waiting for their confirmation.

I have the 1.18 pop up. Still downloading for now.

Still no update... Such a bummer

Same no update yet. "global"

Can someone upload the package?

Maybe try to update your phone to below version first then check for the update again after reboot and see if the V2.15 pop up.
http://rom.download.nubia.com/Europe/NX629J/NX629J_Z69_EN_WPJ0O_V210.zip
Above link was given to me by redmagic support when I report that redmagic time is not working. Then after successfully install the WPJ0O update the redmagic time also not working and I report back to them, they said just be patient, the devs team are releasing a newer version to fix the issue and they did (ENCommon_V2.15)
Note: after you apply the WPJ0O update, your build number shown on the phone will always remain ENCommon_V2.10.
Only when you update to ENCommon_V2.15 it will show ENCommon_V2.15
Hope this helps

Attaching the changelog.

hello, I have the Europe version on my device. I have not received an update for a long time and wonder if this may be due to root? Does anyone have the Europe version. At the moment it should be at 3.0V.

My phone does not show that changelog haha
Anyway, im happy with this update, they fix redmagic time and youtube L R.

I got this update after buying this phone.. and after install the update I still have v2.10 not 2.15 I don't know why and YouTube L R button bug is still there.

Try email the support and explain your problem and ask for the package file.
You have to be very very patient when explaining to them cause some of them are so dumb.
