Is there any reason why vodafone and three have official 2.3.5 on kies but nothing for unbranded phones? Even the original SGS has it. I'm really beginning to regret getting this phone. Don't want to flash a Frankenstein package as would rather have a official release.

The most obvious question arises:
Why?
There's literally no reasonable or logical disadvantage to using one of the 'leaked' ROMs, since they are typically identical to the 'official release' ROMs in every way.
People seem to think that the official releases are magically enhanced somehow. In reality, the 'leaked' ROM simply becomes the 'official release' a few weeks later with no changes whatsoever made to it.
If the XEU ROM was leaked I would put it on my phone, except it hasn't been. As I said I dont want any Frankenstein ROMS. I just find it weird there isn't even a leak of the a XEU ROM yet Vodafone and Three have released theirs on Kies.

Again, same question. Why not just flash the leaked 2.3.5 and use the XEU CSC?

You're missing the whole point, it is kind of odd that an official one hasn't dropped nor a leaked version either. I for one am waiting for the official too.

Yes I agree , the op is asking a question of why Kies has not released the rom for all phones. He is not asking about flashing. There are too many people that dont actually read.
My phone is unbranded and find this question interesting.
Waiting for official 2.3.5 on my xeu sgs2 as well. But im happy with the current 2.3.4 and not in a rush to get it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I find it very strange as well that there isn't an official 2.3.5 firmware for unbranded XEU phones particularly when the vodafone and three customised firmwares would have been derived from a generic one.
I guess what makes it bearable is that 2.3.4 works perfectly for me and 2.3.5 doesn't add anything new apart from the blue overscroll glow which I'll rather not have.

It's not that I didn't read or understand the question, just that the question itself is very strange given that there's no logical reason to 'regret' getting the device when we have access to everything the OP wants already. There's no difference between 'official' ROMs or leaked ones other than the waiting time involved. In fact, the chances of the 'Official' Kies flash screwing up your phone are probably greater than they are with Odin.
The OP isn't only stating that it's odd that the 'Official' ROM hasn't been released via Kies, which I'd agree that it is a bit odd, but that he's beginning to regret purchasing the device because of this. I don't deny that reality, but I do think it's a trivial reason to regret such a fine device, particularly given the regularity with which leaked ROMs appear for the GSII compared to other devices. That's all I'm saying.
Some people like to use the official route I.E. Kies or at least use the ROM specific to their location. Sadly some others just cannot accept this. I have given up asking about officially released through Kies roms a long time ago because inevitably there will be a post immediately suggesting flashing. If I wanted that info I would ask for it.
You may wish to plug your phone in tonight.
I just did this to be told that the 2.3.5 update is ready and waiting for download (which I will do tomorrow when I have charged my phone)

Can you tell us which version of update is available. I would have to flash back to stock, but don't want to if its not the official 2.3.5 KJ2 for XEU devices.

The point to this is that it's unprecedented and curious that branded phones will have firmware updates so far ahead of unbranded ones, however I agree it's a strange reason to regret buying the phone considering there's very little between both fw versions.

I too dont understand where 2.3.5 XEU is....
Ive seen quite a few 2.3.5 versions appear over past weeks, but no XEU.
I agree that it is very strange for some uk networks to release 2.3.5 via kies before we have a leaked version.
Maybe ICS is coming sooner than we thought, so no need for 2.3.5 ... Lol
XEU is usually one of the 1st leaks available, so it is strange.

The Kies servers can only handle so much at a time. UK (o2) and UK (T-Mobile) haven't even had the 2.3.4 upgrade yet. I think these users would be a bit miffed if we UK (unbranded) owners got yet another upgrade via Kies (2.3.5) before they even got the older 2.3.4 we have enjoyed for several weeks now.

Same here....JPY XEU Stock
Used KIES 2.0.0.11032_12
Any idea why they would release former the XXJVK firmware in the UK and another one in the Nordic countries (XWJVB)?
It seems to create needless fragmentation in the base-OS and it really makes me question what updates, if any, are in the XWJVB firmware compared to the formerly leaked JVK-one.
what is different with jvk and JVB
Those firmwares support different CSC codes, the ones managing network services of your phone. Every country/region has its own set of supported bandwidth or technology that is why there are multiple versions of firmwares.

JVK - does it mean PDA part is identical to the leaked JVK?
What are the build dates?
I expected few bug fixes, but JVK suggests it's exactly the same (PDA part) as leak?
JPY is still the latest for me - unbranded XEU
To be honest i'm really happy with the phone since JPY, need to keep reading about GB to see if its really any better and worth putting on, unless anyone has a few things to say about improvements over JPY?
I know everyone's had the leaked version of 2.3.4 for months now, but I just moved from an iPhone 4 to the SGS 2 yesterday and own a Mac, so when I saw this:
https://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/112527587259056128
I went ahead and updated the firmware, and viola! 2.3.4. Hopefully less of a battery drain too
If this is old news (although it was tweeted 3 hours ago), sorry for the redundancy.
Screenshots... we need screenshots!
if you're from Thailand, you're are set: THL = Thailand I9100TDCKH2
Samfirmware IS NOT Samsung and is in no way affiliated with Samsung. You should rename this thread (If you didn't get it from Kies, it wasn't released by Samsung). While this does seem to be a new leaked rom (as most on SamFirmware are) for the I9100T, other 2.3.4 roms have been out for nearly a month.

KH2 is old leaked firmware .
jje
KH2 means nothing without the provider code in front of it. Hence there being 2.3.3 KG2's and 2.3.4 KG2's. It's all based on specific versions of roms monthly. UGKG2 means it's the second Bell Mobility build for August. KG1 would have been the first. However, if you look at ZSKG2, it's a completely different rom, it just means it was the second build in August for the ZS built phone. They are developed separately from each other an can not be considered the same like many on these forms have been misled to believe.

I know it is not the same phone but it indicates that 2.3.4 is out.
I haven't done too much research on the different versions of Samsung galaxy s2's, so that's my bad. I was concentrating too much on just getting my hands on one lol. However, I did update it straight through the phone (like I said, I don't have a pc and I haven't been able to find Kies for Mac). Maybe the screenshot will help clear things up?
Oh and I forgot to mention, I'm in Florida. Although... I'm not exactly sure which country it came from.

Just to clear this out:
The one you're actually running (according to your screenshot) is 2.3.4 for sure.
But the one (I9100TDCKH2/I9100TTHLKF1/I9100TDCKF1) tweeted by Samfirmware is not...
The I9100TDCKH2 is the last one who was 2.3.4, the Europe region is already 2.3.4 for month and they more likely to be 2.3.5 this month.

I'm on stock currently myself. You don't need Odin for custom ROMs, there's plenty of stock already on samfirmware.com.
Kies already bricked my i9000m twice using Samsung official firmware. Samsung's response was that the firmware wasn't available for my area yet. I told them that Kies gave me the green light, and their response was still the FW wasn't approved yet. That was a PITA to get resolved.
Samfirmware.com has firmwares (including stock) that many have tried, and Odin takes the tedious waiting out too. Between waiting and 2 bricked phones from Kies, I am done with Kies forever!...

Hmm, Samfirmwares may be stock but not necessarily official releases. I don't trust Kies although I've never had a really bad experience using it. I just want OTA updates like I used to have on my Nokia 4 years ago!

There's a few that are 100% official. The rest are stock waiting for carriers to chop them up.
Honestly the only thing that you are waiting for is carrier bloatware.

Luckily mine is carrier-free. Discerning the "final official" roms and installing them whilst retaining my current set up is what concerns me. Like I said, petitioning for OTA updates.
It would be best to work like google chrome browser auto update. It downloads the update, and next time you start it it installs. No questions asked... no time wasted... Always the newest firmware. OTA of course. It could work on android. Downloads update, waits for restart. When restarted if battery >60% installs. Piece of cake...

Samfireware.com does carry stock Samsung roms (it is not an official Samsung site) and they aren't official releases.
I have the 2.3.5 update from there and it is noticably quicker that the official 2.3.3. That being said kies detects the new version and says that its not official and that the upgrade service is not available for non-official versions. If samsung release an official update I might flash back to and older version then update through kies if I really had to which is no drama.

Guys, i need some help/tips about updating my Firmware. I have a samsumsung GT-I9000 with Android 2.2 (Froyo). I know that there is a newer version (2.3 or so).
I downloaded Samsung Kies but on the general information screen it doesn´t give me the option to update the firmware version, it is only showing me my firmware version (not the latest version available, neither the chance of updaiting it).
I have tryed to install the Kies in differents PCs and I had the same issue.
My GF has a Samsung 5500 (Samsung Galaxy Europe) with Android 2.1, and we had the same problem trying to (or not having the chance to) update the firmware.
My first option is to try with Kies as it is an official source (I don´t want to have troubles with the warranty), but if it is not possible let me know any other way to update our phones.
I will really appreciate any help.
Cheers,
It sounds as if your SGS is tied to a carrier, in which case you are dependent on them for their version of the upgrade.
I would contact them first. If you get no joy there your only option is to "unlock" the phone from that carrier, thus enabling Kies to give you the generic upgrade.
This is what I did. I was locked to o2, here in the UK. Upon unlocking I get the latest generic update via Kies as soon as it becomes available, which is months before o2.

Its an unlocked phone from p4u unbranded and I'm on three, but theres no sim in the phone when I've connected. I've not downloaded it yet its still plugged in an showing. I didn't really want to be first trying it because my phone has no problems and I don't want to lose the 5x4 icon setup unless I'm forced too and I don't know whether this will do that to my phone. By the way its never been upgraded yet from its original rom of KE7 KE4 KD1.
Firstly Kies wont remove any of your apps/settings, if you have rooted the phone you will lose this. It sounds like you are being offered the upgrade to 2.3.4 which has been out a while. 2.3.5 is the one we are waiting on which is a different KI4.
Is there anyway I can check for you without going through with the full upgrade, the other day I handled a new galaxy w in p4u and that had 2.3.5 in it I took a photo of it, every write up and comment on that phone says 2.3.3. Lets hope things have moved on, but as I said in op didn't really want to try it first.
See attached
Thank you. I've been reading about the Kl4 in the discussion thread thats not officially out , I don't supposed you would care to comment on whether its worth my upgrading,whats the balance of losses and gains you find in this release as apposed to the one I've got.
It's up to you whether you want to upgrade the fw, if you're on 2.3.3 I would do it, we could new waiting a while for Samsung to release 2.3.5 on kies for unbranded phones.

It seems to me that it is faster than KI3 and with better battery life.
The only difference is that it is official now!
Happy flashing!
The XXKI4 is not the same as the XWKI4. Both have been available in the firmware thread in the dev forum a while now.
Thanks for that. I have flashed and had the fastest kies flash ever. Thanks for the info.

How is it possible to receive official updates (stock roms) without flashing?
Please do not start telling me to read guides and so on... I worked on Android platform and after this experience I am aware how preparing roms and custom stuff is obviously a great challenge, gives you great satisfaction, but makes the phone be more prone to crashes, memory leaks and so on.
Thank you in advance.

I'm sure you were joking but this actually does raise a point that people should take into consideration:
If the phone is bought from the UK but the firmware is German, then it will get German upgrades. If it's bought from amazon.de and has Chinese firmware then it will only get Asian upgrades.
It doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it matters what country the firmware is directed at. I also own a UK note which has BRI as the sales code and I don't have any update even though I live in Finland.

Really funny... If it was only a matter of geographical location just a dns static route would fix the trouble of getting updates...
Please avoid useless posts.
