Galaxy Ace S5830I gets Android 2.3.6 update

Please note this is for users in India. Update Version is called : S5830IXXLA2/S5830IODDLA1

I think 2.3.6 is being released for s5830I and not for s5830. Can anyone confirm? I'm currently with 2.3.4 in India. Kies shows it's the latest firmware.

 

[socrates0]

Yes 2.3.4 is the currente ver in India & KIES confirms it for me too. But s5830I has never sold in India so why did they make that announcement? Mine is Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830/S (GT-S5830OKAINU)

same here...no updates for my gt s5830..

Are you sure that s5830I is not sold in India? Then why the heck they rolled out the update? Also thru samsung's twitter I inquired and they said 2.3.5 is available for s5830 in India. But that also doesn't come.

S5830 running 2.3.4, tried the OTA: Says no update available. will try in kies as well. is any one able to update to 2.3.5 in India?

 

[babus]

Huhh... It seems there is no such model like s5830I. I think this is a hoax.

No. It's all hoax I guess.

But did they specify that 2.3.5 is available for Galaxy Ace. It could available for some other model I think we should hold our horses, in all probability they must have made a clerical error in the model nomenclature.

Guess we need to update with Odin with the s'pore version only. Me too running with 2.3.4 Indian version and shows as this is the latest in Kies.

guys even i checked near my service center they told 2.3.4 is latest version ..dont know what its fools are doing .. staying in gujarat....

 

[swaroop_p1988]

as per the above posts.. guess it seems to be a rumour or false news spread. 1 week has passed and no updates yet... its irritating..

Guys does anyone know how to backup messages from galaxy ace to pc ? There is no such option Available in Kies. Very disappointed with this kies. I had another old version but it's samsung new pc studio. I could backup all my messages.

 

[socrates0]

I connected my phone to KIES today it said there was some patch i agreed to install after it went thru it showed this as current ver of firmware


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

then KIES gave an error & crashed, after restarting its back to what it was originally ver 2.34. S5830DDKQ6

I guess Samsung believes in using KIES to test your loyalty to Samsung & Android

socrates0 thanx.. i am installing that now.
Mean while, I updated kies. As u have posted the snapshot, i think there is some glitch in your update. Try disabling antivirus of your pc and then update kies. It should work fine. For me, it's showing this though i didn't update my firmware yet.

 

[vivekmandre]

i have attached the screen snapshot of the firmware upgrade it shows.

 

[swaroop_p1988]

this is an old update only which is 2.3.4...

Its a patch over the old 2.3.4 update.. with few fixes and no changes in the ui

guys finally updated to official 2.3.6 via OTA...

 

[socrates0]

Hmm there was a small patch (update) to KIES some days ago. Cool what is the size of the update & how long did it take. I suppose you used WiFi & what are the changes as compared to 2.3.4 in India.
