They'll simply create a tool for you to unlock the bootloader of your device. But don't expect more.

Galaxy s2 was a True champion, best phone from Apr 2012 to Apr 2013.. Period , with most powerful Mali gpu and exonys cpu combo and SUPER AMOLED +, which still has not been on ggs3 or note 2.. they are HD but pentile, or what ever...

The only phone which did beat iphone 4s, no other android stood tall infront of galaxy s2in its time...

I owned it so i know... it was the best.. Sold it to get the Droid DNA.. which is the best phone now.. but wont remain best for 1 full year like gs2..

THE LEGENDOF GS2

@ abhishek48: First i'm betting you're sorry you sold your GS2, from the way you're praising it... 2. The dates it held the championship was 2011- 2012... 3. Congratulation to the JB 4.1.2 update for Galaxy S2... 4. I'm a owner of the Galaxy Original Note, our update will soon come, and IT (OG-Note), was the "Over all Champion of 2011- 2012...

Long Live the Phablet

the dna is not the best. i owned it for two days and its an ok phone. optics is ok. the storage is too small and the frame is awkward to hold. the screen, however, was beautiful

Definitely good news, as many are still only a year into their two year contracts. With the amount of problems and bugs in ICS (although I've only had experience with Sprint 's Epic Touch), this should clear up a lot of issues that Touch WIZ brought. Ask many owners and they'd probably say they'd rather go back to Gingerbread. Hopefully this update makes all the difference

Agree.. HTC juz trying hard to get a market share by creating new mobiles. no doubt they are amazing. but HTC has a blind ear to all the customer feedbacks & complaints. Also, they are denying android updates to their devices. This is not going to get them any place good. Each android device gets max 2, atleast 1 android update. but HTC One V was launched with ICS & will die with ICS... Bad startegey HTC.. LEARN from SAMSUNG

Sony is yet to upgrade even their 2012 devices to JB.. 2011 is a pure no No from them i think.

Hi, I'm from Nigeria and own a Galaxy S 2, but still running android 2.3.5 (no update to even ics yet in Nigeria). Can you please tell me how you flashed Spain's JB ROM to your Galaxy S 2? I'll be most grateful if you can help me out here. Thanks

@evanef7 Download and install rom on your device through odin. go to sammobile firmware page and download the rom first.

How times have changed, Samsung's strength of today used to be HTC's. I used to love HTC phones for this reason but now Samsung has replaced HTC for me.

Have you tried force stopping it or clearing out the cache? If that doesn't work, maybe you need to update it or just uninstall it and then re-install it.

Not sure what you mean, but when I try using kies I get some error about usb debugging being unchecked even though it is. So frustrating, I'm still on gingerbread.

Have you ever considered using odin to flash an official firmware, head over to xda, i9100 forum

Why? The Note wasn't Samsung's flagship device that sold tens of millions of units. The Note was more like a, "Let's see what happens," kind of thing. Of course the S2 would get it first.

Isn't that an American variant, the carrier branded are always last to receive updates after European
