I hope this is the official ICS update. Kies is downloading to my phone now. Whatever it is its big. Taking a long time.
Re: ICS update for the T-Mobile Galaxy S2? When?
Hey everyone!
I wanted to hop in here to provide some additional information regarding the most recent software update for the Galaxy S II.
T-Mobile is committed to enhancing customers' experience with our Samsung devices, including providing upgrades to resolve software issues. At this time, a software update to the current Android OS (Gingerbread) was immediately needed for the Samsung Galaxy S II. We continue to test and actively work with Samsung to ensure that eligible devices are upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the coming months and will communicate updates as soon as we have additional details to share.
I can also confirm that the update to Samsung's website is accurate and the Samsung Galaxy S II is expected to receive the Android 4.0 software update.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

I'm trying to update from stock 2.3.6 and my phone has been stuck for about 30 minutes now on the screen that says "Downloading... do not turn off target!!"
I'm a bit confused about this update.
Any help?
Yes T989UVKL1 is a prerequisite and is 2.3.6. T989UVLDE is 2.6.35.11 and is a prerequisite for the ICS update from T-Mobile. From what I can gather, the ICS update T-Mobile was getting ready to roll out had a screwed up kernel and would brick a phone. This update is supposed to address that and prepare for the T-Mobile ICS update.
I'm not surprised Samsung doesn't understand it, neither do the rest of us and I doubt T-Mobile will be forthcoming with a true answer.
Have you been able to get Kies to work with your phone?
As far as Kies goes. I have not been able to get it to work. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but every time I connect my phone via USB a popup appears saying that my phone isn't compatible with Kies 2.0. Not sure what else I can do.
can anyone tell me what driver to download for my samsung GS2 4g LTE?? and what do i do after i download? Do i install Kies on my computer? It came on my phone.?? Please Help..
edit: I downloaded Samsung Kies on my sister's brand new laptop and it's letting me download the upgrade from there and now i can upgrade the firmware. Thank you to everyone who helped me.
Glad you finally got it.
My phone has been running very smooth with the update and is 'snappier' than before the update.

The only thing I didn't enjoy from this update was the fact that you can't have a scrolling wallpaper anymore.
I haven't had any OTA updates recently that I know of and mine is
T989UVKL1
2.6.35.11
Gingerbread.UVKL1
