Help latest firmware update, but still on anderoid 2.3.6

[sw94]

Hi all,

I am having difficulty installing the ICS firmware on my galaxy s2, and dont know where i am going wrong...

I opened kies earlier when i found out that the new update was available for orange. I was greeted with the message telling me there was a new firmware update available, to which i clicked on and let it install.

I then let the phone start up. However, the firmware was still set on android 2.3.6, and none of the features of ICS were visible.

I then set the phone to factory restore, and restarted kies in the hope that i would be able to start the update process again. But kies says i have the latest firmware (PDA:KL2 / PHONE:KL2 / CSC:LB1 (ORA), while my phone says im still on the 2.3.6 firmware.

I literally have no idea what has gone wrong/ how to get the ICS update now via kies.

Is anybody able to help solve this problem?

thanks.

Just a wild guess.... have you installed the most recent Kies version?

Ics has not been released to all orange phones yet. If you have the nfc enabled handset like me, you will have to wait.

Im not sure if i have or havent got nfc, the model number is i9100p?

Just out curiosity, yesterday was the first time i had used kies in a couple of months. Is it possible that the firmware update i had installed was one released in that time, and not actually the ICS update? The reason being that i noticed google books had been installed after the update, and there was a blue shadow effect when scrolling to the bottom of pages on the internet.

Thanks.

You have the, "P", variant which has NFC.

There are no ICS firmware releases thus far for this model, see post #2, here. The up-date you received was for Gingerbread 2.3.6.


EDIT The first, "P", variant ICS update has been released. See here.
