[Q] Where can I check the latest versions of firmware?

---

Hi all

I got my Galaxy 2 this last week and wanted to know a couple of things about firmware, updates...

1.- Kies is not great... Is there any alternative? Can I update my SG2 with another software?
2.- Where can I check the latest versions of the firmware?
3.- Kies is giving me the amazing "This version of the device cannot be updated"... My phone comes straight from Samsung, so I guess I have the Samsung official ROM. Also is not rooted (for now)

Thank you all :)

P.S. I also got the pink crap in the lens :P anyone having this got it out with any firmware? I'll try to create an action for Photoshop to remove it. Let's see if my 2D skills can help the community with this path.

1) you can use odin to flash. Follow thr guide in the dev forum from intratech

Which leads to 2) latest firmware available in the same post

I heard about Odin but never tried it... I guess this is the right time!

Cheers!

You can check... Xda developers general forum, new stock roms are announced there very quickly.
