Help Jelly Bean update - Dummies Guide

Hi there, hoping you can help me out here. My phone (GT-i9100) is stuck in a boot loop so I was going to follow the instructions as posted, but I can't get my CSC code due to the loop. Is there any way I can find it out without using the keypad?

Thanks

Hello and welcome to Android Forums GibbsCraig! :)

I am afraid that that is the only way to retrieve your CSC code. If you are on a stock firmware and in a bootloop, then try booting into recovery mode and wiping the cache partition. Failing that, you may need to do a Factory Reset in recovery mode.

For reasons you are not able to update, see #1.5 and #1.6 in post #1.

CSC : I9100JPLP9 (I think your CSC code should read I9100OJPLP9) This is the Android 4.0.3 code for Iraq. The latest release for this CSC code is Android 4.0.4...

Model: GT-I9100
Country: Iraq
Version: Android 4.0.4
Changelist: N/A
Build date: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000
Product Code: MID
PDA: I9100JPLPJ
CSC: I9100OJPLPH
MODEM: I9100XXLQ6


You will need to download and flash this by following the instructions in #1.7 of post #1.

With only one, belated, Jelly Bean, Android 4.1.2, update in over 6 weeks it does look as though that this is the end of the road for stock Samsung firmware releases for the Galaxy S2, which celebrates its 3rd birthday in 10 weeks time.

Anyone wishing to update further will need to root their phone and install a custom ROM such as the 4.4.2 NEAT ROM for the GT-i9100, or similar, depending on your model of Galaxy S2. For more details of custom ROMs, see the All Things Root section of the forum for the Galaxy S2.

[/B]am still thinking whether to put custom rom or not, i was willing to have genuine samsung update.

There has not been an update for your CSC code, since November 2012... so I wouldn't hold my breath for a future update to Android 4.1.2.

ironass what do u recommend me to do for the upgrade? what should i install.

Your problem is that you will need a custom ROM that contains the language pack, (OJP), that you require for your part of the world... which very few do I'm afraid.

However, I am sure that if you were to ask very nicely of salesale on the NEAT ROM thread and offer a small donation, he may be persuaded to add the language you require to his latest release, yesterday, I9100 AOSP NeatROM v2.4.1 (4.4.2), if it is not already included.
