Samsung Galaxy SII update via Kies

[M.J.Sadiq]

Friends,

I am trying to update my Galaxy SII software to Jelly Bean via Kies, but facing few issues that prevent me from doing the upgrade.

After clicking the Firmware Upgrade button, nothing is getting displayed in the popup window.

From website, I assumed and clicked the check box and option buttons and tried to click te Start Upgrade button. But nothing happened. But, on assumption, I clicked the Cancel button, it worked!!

Can you guys help me why nothing is getting displayed in the Firmware Upgrade window.

Why not trying to update it from mobile? :huh I too faced the same because of the buggy kies.

 

[M.J.Sadiq]

I tried via mobile too.. But it is saying No Updates...

I tried in the below way..

Settings --> About Phone --> Software Update --> Check Update

Is this the only way or anyother way is there?

Oh....Kies is always buggy..

You have 2G or 3G in mobile??

Is your mobile I9100 or I9100G?

 

[M.J.Sadiq]

I have 3G and my model is I900 only..

 

[Raviteja]

Oh...

This method should work Settings --> About Phone --> Software Update --> Check Update ......But you said it showing no new update...

Try this..Power off you're mobile..remove battery...and re-insert it and check for update

You can update your S2 using some MOD / ROM.

Step 1 - Download Android 4.2.2 CM10.1 M3 ROM [ Google Apps (Gapps) - Download Latest Gapps for Android ] and Google Apps [ http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/ ] for Galaxy S2 on the computer.

Step 2 - Connect and mount the Galaxy S2 USB mass storage on computer via USB cable.

Step 3 - Copy the downloaded CM10.1 M3 ROM and Google Apps zip files to the root folder on the phone's SD card.

Step 4 - Power off the phone and disconnect its USB cable from computer.

Step 5 - Boot the device into Recovery Mode by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power buttons together.

Step 6 - In ClockworkMod Recovery, do a full data wipe task by choosing Wipe Data/Factory Reset. NOTE: Use Volume keys to navigate and Power button to select an option in Recovery Mode.

Step 7 - Do Wipe Cache Partition and wait until the process completes. Now, perform a Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced option in CWM recovery. This will prevent boot loop issues and any ROM related errors during firmware installation.

Step 9 - Return to the main recovery menu and click Install Zip from SD card.

Step 10 - Select Choose Zip from SD card. Use volume keys to navigate to CyanogenMod 10.1 M3 ROM zip file that you copied earlier to your phone's SD card and choose it by tapping Power button. Confirm the ROM installation on next screen and the installation process should begin.

NOTE: Repeat the Step 10 for installing Google Apps as well.

Step 11 - Once both the ROM and Google Apps are installed, hit "+++++Go Back+++++" and tap Reboot System Now in the recovery menu. Your phone will reboot now and the first boot may take about five minutes to complete. So, leave it alone.
