Android 4.0 (ICS) - when?

[caloyzki]

Enter *#1234# in the dialler. Your current firmware (PDA), baseband/mode (Phone), and CSC versions will be displayed.

If it's unbranded the CSC should contain the 3-letter code XEU. If I remember correctly however, you stated in a previous thread that you purchased the handset from Carphone Warehouse? If so there's a good chance the CSC code will be CPW, indicating a non-generic firmware.

SLUG, what about my phone here is the version i dont know if my phone is branded or unbranded or maybe fake?

PDA : I9100UHKI2

PHONE : I9100UHKI1

CSC : I9100UUBKI2

BUILD INFO : MON SEP 5 20:11:10 KST 2011

after a gleek at google, it looks like the above is a branded T-Mobile US 2.3.4 firmware......?

Probably the only way to debrand your phone from T-Mobile is to flash a generic custom ROM. Not sure if there is any other way as I have always rooted and used custom ROMs..

If you have used CF Root, it places a copy of CWM on your phone so you can flash away to your hearts content.

Dude,

I appreciate your help.. I am new to Android as you can probably tell lol .. I have purchased a unlock code from a website which it has now unliocked the phone.. cost me

hey, how did you say it is T-Mobile? but i dont see any t-mobile or sumthing on the phone, when i reboot it etc... how would i know that it is t-mobile? because i thought my phone is fake because it is only made in China.

 

[Jammet]

This is probably a beginner question but does such an upgrade -have- to go hand in hand with a system wipe? Or will this remove/rebuild system folders as needed and leave unknown folders (application-made) untouched?

 

[ironass]

When you say the only way to get rid of the carrier logo is to flash with custom firmware.. please can you assist and send me links to guides where I can find custom firmware and the proceedure of how to go about it? I am a noob.. many thanks

PS: Indeed I now have CWM on my phone.. but where do I get the Custom Rom? Is it like the Cnogenmod rom etc.. ? Also how do I flash. please can you point me to the right link also whats all the lingo with CSC CPW? what do they mean? Thanks

Try here for step-by-step instructions, and video, on installing a custom ROM:-

You could also flash the official, generic, unbranded, firmware for your handset. See here:-

Israel Samsung Galaxy S II users getting Android 4.0 on March 15.

Well, usually israel is late in this kind of things, by months...
so it must mean that the rest will be getting it soon,

and i guess if its released in israel, it won't be too hard to install it even if you're not from israel, is it?

anyway, there's a date now.

The rumored March 1 release date for Samsung Galaxy S II ICS update has already passed and we are yet to see the update. Now, we are hearing from Samsung Israel that consumers in the country will receive the Android 4.0 update on March 15. This is the first official statement from Samsung stating a fixed date for Android 4.0 update for S II. While, this is only valid of Israel, we hope that other countries don
