Galaxy S II ICS upgrade error

---

Hello everyone.

So basically im a total noob at this sort of stuff and though i did find one similar thread, it wasnt of much help.
Anyhow, i got a used S 2 off a mate here in Pakistan (it has an orange logo on it). It works fine but when i connect it to Kies to upgrade it to ICS it says firmware upgrade not supported.

Please id appreciate it alot if you could help me out with this in some detail.

Thank you. :)

kies will not support it because it may have been flashed with a firmware that is not out yet in Pakistan.

When you upgrade with out using kies or from another region there are changes in a few files that kies will not recognize thus saying the firmware is unrecognized.

Current official ics is still new and only a few areas have the upgrade on kies, the rest of the the world may not see it until the end of the year or early next year.

If you want to upgrade to ics wait a month or so to allow current ics developers a chance to review and modify the official ics files. Then you can flash it yourself.

While you are waiting it will give you a change to read up and understand flashing techniques.

You need to flash it using odin

And use this ics firmware:http://skywanker.net/roms/intratech/..._I9100XXLPQ.7z
