The newly updated firmware Android 2. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year! After updating my firmware, I am now able to backup all features on my handset and all the previous frustrations and grief as a result of this was down to firmware issues. Not Samsung Kies software. Now I could not be happier, I have full backup capability and my much loved Samsung Galaxy S2 works better than ever! Hi, when I connected my Galaxy S2, Kies shown that a new firmware is available.
I decided to update and followed the on screen instruction. The PC started to download. I think something is going wrong. Can somebody tell me what to do? Now, Galaxy S2 screen displays ….. My connection is 6. Also remember that if there are allot of people downloading the new update all over the world, suppliers Samsung may be under a very heavy server load during peak downloading times.
Yup, most probabaly there was error on the internet connection. Mine is poor 1. Thanks bro, I have run the emergency recovery and restarted the procedures from the beginning …..
Finally finished with big success. Hi, Kies show me too about firmware update.. Then I did it.. But not it shown as version 2. It still show 2. So what to do now?? I live in China so i need the Chinese language for the bank messages and other stuff but i want to install the Hong Kong version, can anybody help me with this situation? I was a Nokia user since until 2 days ago and now i bought the Android, i made a very good decision.
Root your phone and install a clean english language firmware, that should clear all the chinese bloatware and branding can be removed once rooted. It will brick your phone. Try to consult others at XDA website. Heyy i updated successful my phone via kies to 2. You can downgrade with Odin only. Try it again later. Samsung server might be overloaded.
If still cannot, you can try on other PC see. When I start the firmware upgrade process, the phone gets disconnected automatically and the firmware upgrade was failed because connection to the phone was lost. But afterward, the phone automatically reconnects. How can solve this problem?? Getting warm is normal when you use lot of CPU processing.
You can try to upgrade to the latest firmware. It might reduce some. Its never ends! I did what you said to, and i even reinstalled Kies and updated to its latest version, but still its not happeneing. Can you tell me what is the problem?
Why it is not upgrading? Help me please.. Thanks in advance.. You need revert back to your original stock firmware in order to get upgrade from Samsung Kies. Here you are, Eric. I have problem with upgrading my galaxy s2 firmware. In samsung kies I have option to upgrade phones firmware but when I press update and agree to terms, start upgrade, download process completes in less than minute!!. My internet connection is not that fast.
I think that actually there is no download.. Please if anyone know how to fix this I be glad to hear solution. It just worked! I guess a little patience to try few days later is good thing. Bdw, thanks for trying to help, You got great webpage, keep up the good work. Samsung Kies is official software from Samsung. You can get support from Samsung officially. Why not get it from them? Personally, I use Odin software to install firmware.
No bug at all compare to buggy Samsung Kies. I am trying to update my samsung galaxy s2 through Kies but i get the message that there is no update to this device. I installed Kies both on mac and windows 7 and i got same message. Any one could detect what might be the problem? But, new update make vibration indicator appear at status bar near battery indicator. Finally, click Start to upgrade. I have the latest version of Kies and it keeps on saying that there are no updates available.
Also the same when I try it OTA, no updates available. Any help would be greatly appreciated. How can I find out? Sorry for the hassle. Anyhoo here are the details listed in my unit. Big big thanks. Yours is Europe firmware.
Just an afterthought, from 2. It is okay to disconnect USB cable if no firmware upgrade is being done to the phone. Yes and no. Install official firmware is okay. But no for custom firmware. No need to uninstall Kies to use Odin.
Can you offer any suggestions as to what might be wrong? Kies tells me there is an update. I connect my phone. I go through the process of agreeing etc. Kies downloads the new firmware and prepares the phone for installation. I am facing problem while updating my s2 via kies..
PC failed to recognise the mobile phone. Please follow the guide below to try again. Disconnect the mobile phone from cable, remove the battery and reattach the battery.
Press the power button. Make sure the mobile phone has been turned on completely. Reconnect the mobile phone to the cable and start the upgrage. Heard that Ice cream sandwich Android 4. Did you got the update? What are the new features in it? What do you think of the update? Jayce: im using s2 original version 2.
You should able to get that from Samsung Kies. Or you can install it via Odin software manually. Hi, I think it is probably late already to ask this. Does upgrading the firmware actually affect any data on the phone??? Will applications be as they are?? Will any of it be affected after the upgrade???
I am extremely worried that my data will be wiped off forever and wont be recoverable. Please let me know at the earliest if my data would be affected. Perhaps within these few minutes so i can cancel the update if needed!! If it does wipe off most of the data, it would be a good idea to cancel this update right away.
Awaiting your reply. Hi jayce: I got my S2 iG version.. Then try again. If still cannot, send it to Samsung Service Center. I just downloaded kies 2 and connected with the device and its upgrade section, it says my device does not support software upgrade. My S2 is 2. Advice please. Thank you in advance. I have upgraded my old one using kies, and there was no problem i got while upgrading process. But now, my S2 has been replaced several week ago overheating issue.
All what i got is a completely new unit. The problem above come up then. Since you are using official firmware, please consult Samsung Support to check whether there is new firmware for your region or not.
I am trying to update the firmware on my Wifi I dowloaded ver 2 Kies and connect. Goes through first few steps but I get a pop up that says to disconnect all other devices from PC except the Tablet. Nothing else is connected except network printers. It says press OK to continue. Press OK and the same message pops up again.
Do I really need to disconnect network printers in order to update my Tablet? Seems unrelated…. Guys I have just updated my gs2 like Jayce told us,from 2. After 2 days I have updated my phone,.. It seems like my homecrenn when I scroll it its just a little lagy,and battery life has a shorter life,the update should improve my phone but there is no improvements…the best firmware is the stock firmware…… Maybe the ICS will be better,but Im so sceptic.
I need to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S2. Im from India. I have downloaded Kies but how to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S2. But the battery life doesnt seem good on my samsung. Depend on which region Android 2. I am using Europe firmware. Battery life is good for me. Install with Odin. DZKJ2 and Kernel vesion 2. Is this the correct version?
So not so sure. Try to upgrade Samsung Kies to the latest version see. Sorry, jin Please send it back to Samsung for service. Kies is at its latest version. Nothing bad will happen. Just root access will be removed after firmware upgrade. You need re-root it later. Not sure which one is the latest one because I am not using it now.
Just upgrade it from Samsung Kies itself. I have a Galaxy s2 and cannot connect to Kies as it says must use PC studio so downloaded and installed to pc but doesnt recognise my moblie. When connecting to Pc studio it says to touch pc studio on the phone but to connect but that function does not show up on the phone.
Im using win 7. Any ideas? Weird… You should be able to use Samsung Kies with official firmware. Try to consult Samsung Support then. Am from India and own a samsung galaxy i with Froyo2. Tried upgrading it with kies connected to my windows 7 PC. Pls advice what to do…. Hi Jayce…Tried restarting also. Hi, I was wondering, can I download the firmware update first through Kies,.
With mb to download, kinda scary if the updating disconnected halfway.. But no worry, firmware upgrade only start after you succeed downloaded it. Previously, I updated andriod 2. Now since the ICS is out and when I plug my phone in it shows that msg. What should I do?
Using official firmware also cannot work in Samsung Kies? You need to consult Samsung Support then. About phone : -Android Version : 2. Your firmware is Hong Kong region. CSC does not match. Now my phone current status: -Android version : 2. Please help me out!! I have tried 7 times now!!! Hi Neha, please upgrade Samsung Kies to the latest version.
Then try again see. If still cannot, do consult Samsung Support. I have been at this all day long now!!! I have a Galaxy s2 bought here in the philippines, already rooted the phone, and using differnt kernel, Kies wont detect any new firmware and says that i already have the latest one, can you help me on this please?
Hi Dave, you can restore to stock official firmware. Then upgrade from Samsung Kies. Or install the new firmware that you want directly with Odin. Using other region firmware does not mean it is rooted. You can use Root Checker Basic to check. I am using galaxy s II which was locked to virgin mobile canada. I unlocked it today but I still cannot update my firmware 2. I thought that unlocked galaxy s II can be updated via kies but got no luck. So not so sure that you can install firmware with Odin manually or not.
Try to consult others who have the same model in XDA website. I thought it should be for a while like 20 minutes or an hour. Hi Steve, restart the whole process if it is hang. Do upgrade Samsung Kies to the latest version. If still have issue, please consult Samsung Support. I have the samsung galaxy S2 LTE skyrocket its stuck on android version 2. I have samsung s2. While following the above steps, it successfully downloads all the required files but gives an error while updating that need 3GB free space.
I guess it requires 3GB device storage but how to do that? I followed the exact steps as mentioned as above and my phone restarted after the upgrade to ICS. However, it was stuck on the Samsung logo for a very long time so I restarted the phone manually and it booted up correctly this time but I was still on Gingerbread.
Before the release Kies used to say I was on the latest firmware. Also, will it possibly void the warranty of my phone? I Have a Samsung Galaxy S2, i already do the step at above, but mine do not have backup data that step, after agree direct to prepared firmware upgrade, after prepared firmware upgrade, i stuck at Progress firmware upgrade, loading n loading…Can you tell me what the problem and what i should to do…stay for waiting or my version problem… Thank you for your, i will waiting for your email.
Hi Su Yie, did you phone turn into Odin Download mode? And make sure that you are using latest version of Samsung Kies, this will help to reduce issues. Thanks for your reply, My samsung kies version is 2. Did you mind to share me the installation?
I tried to do the ics firmware update via Kies on Windows Vista PC, but the download keeps failing to complete. Have tried updating Windows and everything but no luck.

I have tried uninstallin n installin it again but its of no use.. I am from Mongolia. Is anyone else having this problem? My phone is not from NZ and I have been told if I try to download the new firmware it will wreck my phone as it is specifically for NZ phones. I thought that if I could find out where my phone was released I could go on-line and download the firmware for that country, but have been told that I do that at my peril.
The set-backs of buying a phone off Trademe. The guy I bought it off told me that I would not be disadvantaged in any way, as I specifically asked him about that. If yes, you can install any country I firmware. Like mine Malaysia unit , I am using Europe firmware now. Does any of that makes sense to you?
It was Samsung that told me if I downloaded from any site I could wreck my phone. When I tried to download the NZ up-date, as soon as it started to bring the information into my computer I would lose the connection through Kies. Your firmware should based on UK. More info at XDA website. This has happened three times now!
Any suggestions, please? I was prompted to update Kies to the latest version before doing so, no problem, worked fine. After that, I got the pop-up that a new firmware upgrade was avaialble for my phone. I clicked update but nothing happened, it just went back to the default Kies screen. So, I clicked on the orange Firmware Upgrade button and nothing happens when I do that either.

Hi octavia, you can install ICS firmware with Odin manually. I installed ICS 4.
I just cant believe that you all continue to try and get this device upgraded, I purchased the phone 6 months ago and everything had a problem with it. Trying to update it was an issue, installing apps, it had an issue, phone freazing, so on and so on, it seems that Samsung are trying to copy iPhone with Kies but dont have the faintest idea on how to get it working without any issues. In the end, I took it back to the place of purchase, threw it on the counter, explained the issue and the sales person swapped it for the latest HTC.
I even purchased the Galaxy Tab 12 months ago, so many problems with the unit that the retail store gave me a full refund on the unit. They were sick of customers coming back with the tab that they stopped questioning the customers and just refunding their money or exchanging it with a real tablet that works. You can try the unofficial way. I upgrade successfully but why my ram become smaller..
Im from the Philippines. I am using SGS2. How do i update my s2 GT-I to ics?? Maybe you will get other region features but most of the time, you feel nothing.

Intermittent signal issue. Replaced SIM card but still have the same issue. On jellybean 4. The Samsung Galaxy S2 has a lot of issues, not only with the device itself but with the software on the device. Contact your mobile carrier so they can help diagnose the problem remotely to your device. There are several ways for you to try to resolve this issue.
Try the suggestions below and see if any of them solve the issue. It may be that your power button has gotten stuck, which would be why you are experiencing this problem during the reboot sequence. Try fiddling with that and see if it is stuck, and if so, try to get it unstuck. If that does not resolve your issue, turn off the phone and take the battery out, then insert it back in.
If it is still stuck in the boot loop, your phone likely needs to have a general cleaning. You'll need to take all the parts apart to clean in this case, specifically, the power button , and remove any dirt or grime lurking in your phone.
Before taking the phone apart, try to press and hold the power button only for about a minute with extra effort, then after one minute shake the phone. It may sound ridiculous, but it might resolve the problem.
It's also possible that a battery issue is keeping your phone stuck in a boot loop or stuck on the Samsung Logo. What you need to do is check to see if the battery is working okay. If you have another battery that is the same as the one in your phone, try swapping it and checking to see if you have the same issue. If you have the same issue, you need to take your battery out of the phone - you can use a pick or toothpick or an emery board Nail File. To fix a potential battery cleanliness issue, look for the three little bronze terminals in the place where you place your battery in your phone and clean them.
Next, gently scrape the three terminals on the battery, then re-insert it into the battery dock. Now turn on the phone and see if the problem persists. If you have installed the ROM on your phone and it just keeps on loading, boot into recovery mode by pressing the "Volume Up," "Home," and "Power" buttons. Once you have access to the Android recovery, you just need to select "Reboot" for the phone to reboot and use it once again.
If you have tried that and it didn't work, follow the same steps to install the stock ROM and start flashing it again. Make sure also that your phone is properly connected to the computer so that it will not be interrupted during ROM installation.
