Can we update SGS2 to 2.3.4 which is meant for nexus s ?
I mean not all in all, but definitely we can Eritrea things & make it fit for SGS2 right ?
Will that be so simple or it's very difficult without source code ?...
Just a noob question, I wanna know the answer pls....

Samsung release their own source codes and to modify Nexus S 2.3.4, it will take lot of effort.. Some Devs are trying to use HTC sense on SGS.. but its not easy

Hi,
I am new to Samsung phones so don't know a lot of the terminology. Can anyone please explain what a .pit file is and what a PDA file is?
I understand the android advices guide, but I do not understand why there is no ext4.pit file in the following link, if it is necessary for the upgrade procedure:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm
So... is it strictly necessary, or is it possible to get by without it?
Many thanks,
James

I just checked my SGS2 and its already got this beta release installed ?...
It came pre-loaded

Cool! Guess it's not a beta, then, eh? Now I can happily load it on my phone (if it's not already pre-loaded) when it arrives this week. *fingers crossed*

Wow, firmware updates now over 500Mb!

We got 16 GB memory and somehow we might have to increase "System Memory"

Just to confirm I also already have 2.3.3 pre-installed.

All of the retail versions should have 2.3.3, this build appears to be a newer one though (XWKDA on my UK one, versus XWKDD).
Unless it is simply for a different region...

Waiting for my O2 SGS II. Assuming its firmware is branded, am I right this will remove its branding and make it generic?

Hey guys, i'm new to the samsung forum! I've just jumped ship from an HD2.
Just received my SGS2 this morning and it also has come preloaded with XWKDD
Baseband: I9100XXKDH
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected]#2
Build: Gingerbread.XWKDD
Now to figure out how to root this beast!

sorry, deleted post

hi, nasgilani
can you tell me what's different between (I9100XWKDD) and (I9100XEKE1) !!

No biggie - assuming SP hardware can churn kitkat, this opens up a whole play field for the brilliant devs here
Once the FTF becomes available for the other models, the forum will be flooded with rooted 4.4, customised or stock, for SP

i think .192 is fix bug for 4.3
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app

Let's hope so. The Z family is recieving the update and the SP not. According to Sony. We just need to wait.

After I read that the E1 is getting the kitkat update I am convinced that the SP will also get kitkat. We will just have to wait for it...my guess would be july.

just wait for it. lets assume we will get the kitkat next year. ahahaha

And… we’re also excited to tell you that we’ll make Android 4.4; KitKat available for Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia E1 and Xperia M2 – we’ll be back with more details; bespoke feature sets and timings as things progress.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i think maybe same date with t2 ultra, e1 and m2

Think we could just steal the Xperia branding, such as the themes and maybe the walkman app... and throw them into the latest cyanogen build running kitkat?

so its going to be a maybe to a no...am feeling we may never get to 4.4 and if we do it might be by Q4.

I think they're never going for 4.4 and going for the android version after that instead. Much better option because 4.4 would pretty much only fix some ram issues. My 4.3 is absolutely bug free. It already went 650 hours straight without needing a restart or having any bug.

thats pretty impressive. how about battery life ... usage?
Am more interested in 4.4 only so that Adfad666 and uberlaggydarwin(also championswimmer , eagleeyetom) get updated binarys and sources for cm/omni/aokp/pa(why no PA ?).
cause sony firmware will remain as bloated as ever

With kitkat or no kitkat it is just fine as long as the next 4.3 update would fix all the problems we are experiening for a month.

But I would kindly request any mod to close this thread to prevent massive speculation and flaming.
And we also do have a thread for this kind of news

There's already a thread for this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516663

Rooting fail?

Updated (Generic Thailand). The only change I found is that Location toggle switch label is changed from "Lokasyon" (I think this word is in Tukish or Tagalog) to "ตำแหน่งที่ตั้ง"
Otherwise I haven't seen any change. Perhaps, It's just minor fixes due to language errors.

Changed from "Lokasyon" or changed to? Anyway, yeah Lokasyon or Lugar is the Tagalog counter part of Location here in the Philippines. Probably same as with Turkish.

Changed from. The translation was just in the wrong language.

As this firmware is released to Kuwait, i hope this has something to do with camera overheating. Sadly yeasterday itself i flashed german firmware to my z2. So can't test now.

No.
It's for lollipop users that want to test marshmallow.

app allows only register - at least for me. But I live in Poland. Poland is not a test country. because I do not get your hopes up that I tester. but have a try one can

The app won't help you. You need to apply for registration through it. Nothing more.

What does it matter if you can or can't register? When the time is there a flashable package of Marshmallow will appear here on the forums

Probably because the app has more purpose than applying for the beta. A purpose that isn't available yet.
