Hello everyone,

I've had my Samsung Galaxy S2 for half a year now, but every time I check for OS updates, it says no updates are available (the version that it came pre-installed with is Android 2.3.3)

My phone was initially on O2, and has been rooted shortly afterwards. I am aware that even when newer versions of an OS are available, they may not necessarily always be available for any phone model on any operator in any country, however it's been a while since Android 4.0 has been released, and I don't quite understand why it hasn't yet been pushed to S2 phones on the O2 UK network.

Could this be related to my phone having been rooted? Is there anything else I can try to upgrade my OS to v4.0?

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Many thanks for suggesting this - it seems that, via Kies, an update is indeed available, specifically "PDA:LP3/PHONE:LPR/CSC:LP4 (O2U).

I just wonder whether upgrading will mean un-rooting the phone. I remember I spent quite a lot of time rooting it after buying the phone, and I'd rather not go through that again, if at all possible...

 

many thanks for your reply Sword Fish. I don't thnk there were specific issues, it just took me a while to read about the proper way to do it for my particular phone model, whether there were any risks, etc. I guess, though, that it should take me a lot less to do it again, and I'm sure the upgrade to 4.0 will make it worth while
