Unable to upgrade Android 2.3.4 to ICS - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I purchased Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 from US. Now I am in India and my friends have updated their S2 to ICS but whenever I am conecting my phone via Kies it says that latest software is installed on my phone.
Details are:
PDA: I9100UHKI2
Phone: I9100UHKI1
CSC: I9100UUBKI2
Android Version - 2.3.4
Build Number - GINGERBREAD.UHKI2
Please senior member help me.
I don't want to root my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Flash new firmware via Odin.

did you check the SGS2 forum? I just quickly checked there and it seems like there is alot of stuff going on there. I would check out that board first of all. If it is available that is where you will find the odin package for stock ICS and if you dont already know it is basically the same thing as using kies. If you find a stock package that is. Or you can also do other things too. And if it is not available I would post this question in that board where people know that specific device. Good luck

I non Kies, nor your phone says there is a new version, it may not be officially available on your phone network/location/phone type.
Could be available in a few weeks.
You can alternatively fresh the rom via Odin, but I haven't found a good rom for that so far.
I have s2, and I regret that I upgraded to this new 4.03. I'm experiencing random crashes since (I'm wondering they put the new "restart phone" option to the menu for this reason? D), and the battery time is much worse.

Please let me know from where I can get the odin package for stock ICS

Stock ROM u can find here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Register there, then write in search box "i9100", choose ROM for your region/country, download and flash into phone with ODIN.
FAQ how to do this u can find in SGS2 section on this forum.

[Q] Note 8 firmware upgrade issues

Hi. Dont jump on me for those questions but couldnt find anything here on xda nor google helped me.
So here it is.
Just bought my Note 8. GT-N5110. It has Android 4.1.2 and build version JZO54K.N5110XXBMD1. Not rooted
As I know 4.2.2 is available I wanted to update. But OTA says I am up to date.
I tried then Kies. I have all the drivers uptodate and Kies version uptodate as well. When I connect my Note it is recognized but it seems that Kies doesnt read everything what it should.
It doesnt show the firmware version at all.
When I am trying to check for firmware updates all I get is mssg:
GT-N5110 does not support initialising.
I also tried sammobile. But cuz I couldnt determine which version of Note 8 I have and didnt know which firmware to pick up and installed their apk.
It should check for me everything but I am getting only
Model GT-N5110
Product code. - nothing
PDA N5110XXBMD1
CSC N5110CCBMD1
Modem - nothing
After hitting GET LATEST receiving only mssg - No info foun for the provided firmware.
So my questions are:
- How can I determine is the firmware update available for my Note or not yet?
- How can I determine which version of Note do I have? I bought it on amazon.co.uk so I think it is European version but are there country specific version as well for WIFI only model?
- Which firmware should I download from sammobile to stay "legal" lets say. UK? Dont want to root at the moment.
Any help really appreciated.
cheers

Hi.
I have the same version. (Settings, System, About (or something like that at the bottom) and then in the buildnumber there is the version.
Mine is rooted so i can't do OTA and it doesn't find an update.
I guess since there isn't any 4.2.2 version on sammobile, there doesnt exist any yet for our build.
Greetings
Chris
Thanks for that.
Decided to root so wont worry anymore about OTA or KIES updates.
Cheers

From this link you can get to know about the latest available firmware for your device Model & Product Code. See image 1.
And this link will give you info about all the firmware released for the same. See image 2.
Is the tablet you bought is a used one? Because if it is brand new, then the PDA should be N5110XXBMC9, which is the first release. Also missing Product code can mean something very wrong.

[Q] Hello. Rom question.

Hello i just bought this phone and i know it is rooted.How to check what rom does it have.It asks me for a update ( im on 4.1.2) what version will it update me too? And will i lose root? All answers apreciated. Thx
Bro,this is the development section so you shouldn't have created a specific thread asking any question,the Q & A section is meant for that.
Anyway the answer your queries:
You can find the name of rom/android version in the 'about device' section of settings.
The update may be a maintenance update.Also the update depends on your region/country.As the latest official firmware for note 2 is 4.1.2 so it will remain that only.
Also you advised not to update a rooted phone,it may mess it up and you may lose root.It would be good if you stick with the current firmware or download the latest from XDA,flash it,then root it or find a prerooted one.

[Q] Any Custom Roms for Sgh-i747m?

Hi,
I have sg s3 sgh-i747m from telus and I have been looking every where but couldn't find an answer. The admins are too lazy to make a Canadian section so allot of people who have the same model run into the same problem. Can i use any other roms from other models like sgh-i747 or would I break my device. Also can I can a list of possible of compatible roms? That would be much appreciated.
I need answers and I hope that this will help others in the future.
Thanks
You can use any ROM designed for a d2att. This has been repeated all over the i747/i747m forum. Only stock ROMs are unique, custom ROMs are not.

I can load Validus, CM11, and Cyanfox which are all 4.4.2-based ROMs and this is on an i747m that was running stock 4.1.2. I never updated beyond the 4.1.2 bootloader. Have a look at the updater script in the ROM and it will tell you which bootloaders are supported.
Apparently I was d2mtr. I managed to install cm 11. Thanks guys =)

There is no stock Android 5.0 ROM for the sgh-i747m. Samsung stopped at 4.4.2.
If you want 5.0, you'll need to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and then a custom ROM.

I'm not sure how many of us are out there, tinkering around with the 8+ year old Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 . While I am a newbie, I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid ( based on Android 8 ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life.
I have always used ODIN to INSTALL a 'recovery' system such as TWRP ( which is a .Tar file )
After TWRP is installed ( using ODIN ) I unplug phone from my computer. Then boot into TWRP recovery ( holding down the three buttons ). I do a clean install (flash) of the newest O/S that I can find ( Android 4.4 is really old ). It is that .Zip file that I flash, then reboot the phone. Always works for me. Eventually I learned how to back up all my contacts, SMS, logs, photos, etc.
BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
These are damn fine phones.
Friend,
It's been so long, I don't even remember why I made this post. What you said about Odin and TWRP does sound familiar though. My S3 died years ago, I haven't done any phone modifications since.
Kind regards,
Keven

Well, that post of yours was from February 2014. Just like yesterday, eh?
But so sorry to hear about your S3. I thought these phones were indestructible!
They are so easy to tinker around with, without bricking. And because these Samsung Galaxy S3 phones are plentiful, zero cost, they're worry free when having fun messing around with them!
Take care, be safe & be healthy.

I've just come into possession of an old i747m. Still works, top glass is all cracked. But digitiser is undamaged. Touch screen works... I'm wanting to use it to play music in my garage while I tinker.. so I can still use my main phone and not have it plugged in...(Bluetooth speaker is on the blink you see)...it sorely needs a tune up though.. just want to be able to stream music through Spotify or pandora and use turbo VPN if I need to.. play store is seemingly not wanting to work well...
I'll have a go at your instructions... Provided I can still find links to all the files. Cheers

Hello All ,
If someone wants to unroot his samsung galaxy Y and update the default ROM please find the procedures as shown in the video.

If someone is softbricked or wants to unroot and needs to update default ROM you can find it in the above URL.Just unzip the files to your machine and follow the video shown in the 1st link.You will find the ODIN software in the ZIP file.I have unrooted my SGY using this ROM only.This default ROM is little bit older so once you have updated this default ROM.Connect to the computer open kies and upgrade the firmware to the latest one.
Please do not blame me if something wrong happens to someones SGY.
Thanks.
I wouldnt advise using that stock firmware unless you are from india
all stock rom firmware guides and so on can be found on my firmware thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568853
if you just want to unroot your phone you can just remove the su binaries or if you want to also reset your phone to factory just flash stock rom via odin with the firmware from your region
Thanks for your advice....
I am frm India.....I used the same stock rom for updating my samsung galaxy y....
