Default [Q] How to update firmware

hi

I have a Galaxy SII and wanted to know how i can update the firmware.

my current version is

Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXKDJ

I read that there is a new version available for GAlaxy S II which has some improvements for batteries.

I tried using Kies but no firmware upgrade is showing up

mine is an unbranded phone. I bought this in Germany if this might help

Thanks and looking for your support

But it will erase all your data, right?

No, it shouldn't. But I believe the update is for UK handsets only. Can't swear to it, but worth checking

Ok it shouldn't but you do have to make a factory reset in order to get the XEU CSC working and that will wipe your phone, won't it?

just bothering with that because without root there is no backup and kies is too stupid to have a simple button that says "backup"
