Hello

I just got my Samsung galaxy S2 yesterday, it has android v2.3.5
I downloaded Kies so I can update my android version to v4.0.4

I was checking firmware informations and it says:

"This is the latest firmware

Current firmware version: PDA:KJ1 / PHONE:KI4 / CSC: KJ1 (ECT)
Latest firmware version: PDA:KJ1 / PHONE:KI4 / CSC: KJ1 (ECT)"

*#1234# infos

PDA: I9100XWKJ1
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC I9100OJVKJ1
Build info KST

Please help

did u try software update from the phone?

But that one used for apps and not for android upgrade?

If Kies says there are no updates then it's probably correct. However you could install CheckFUS from the Play Store to confirm.

Same, does this mean I'm stuck with version 2.3.5?

Not if you're happy to go down the unofficial route. See this thread.

So I did, I have installed Full Rom I9100XXLPH v4.0.3
All went fine, but the battery doesn't hold as it was with v2.3.5
Is that normal?
Also, it would be nice if you can recommend a good rom for me

Thanks

Considering that you installed a completely new firmware only a few hours ago, yes. It will take several usage cycles for your battery usage to normalise.

Alright, thanks for your help Slug, I appreciate it

I had the same issue with my S2. I was about to go down the unofficial route when my phone met with the car door upon closing and the screen smashed. My provider offers a no questions asked warranty - when I got my new phone ICS was preloaded on it.

Although on my old phone I didn't have an update option in the phone's menu and Keis never really worked correctly. I hope you can resolve your issue.
