Me also no update one zzzz

connect your phone to your comp and open Kies.

aiya..do not have usb cable to connect comp

Then go to Setting - About Phone - Software update - Update

Guys I need a desperate help.

I managed to get my phone to ICS successfully, but since got some troubles, I tried to manually flash it.

But sadly, I've done something wrong and now I cant boot my phone, and cant reflash it since it (Odin) said cant open serial (com).

Here what I did the first time:

1. Download the firmware from SamFirmware.
2. Use Odin. Load the firmware to PDA, Phone, CSC. Then Start.
3. Midway during flashing, something happened and it says Fail.
4. Had to reboot.
5. By this time the 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again appear'.
6. I tried reflashing, but cant seem to pass the SetupConnection stage.
7. Help?

Hey guys, just checking, how long did your firmware flashing take? I flashed with KIEs since 11pm and at 5am my phone still says "Downloading... Do not turn off target"... while Kies on my PC says, "Device not responding, please reboot device"... really torn as to whether to reboot, and try flashing again... or wait until the phone says something else...

Damn.. i knew i should have just used odin to flash in recovery mode instead of using the "official" method

Done mine via kies yesterday night, it auto prompt me to update the firm ware. Take about 20 mins, think depend on your internet speed. Now my 9100g keyboard is so much better.

Thanks.. i took the risk and rebooted the phone.. thankfully it didn't brick... will try to update using kies again.. otherwise if the samsung download keep failing on me, i will use odin instead... (maybe i shouldn't diablo while downloading...)

I noticed for ics, input method can be fine at notification bar during keyboard is select.

Why you flash aosp kernel on samsung rom. Use odin and flash samsung rom kernel. Look for those with .tar file and flash in odin.

C many ppl have prob update g on ics via .kies. wanna upgrade odo scare. Better send to SME for update

found my wife S2 9100G on ICS is way better than my Gnote ICS

sekali the SME also use odin to update.. better DIY at home !!

not sure SME use Odin but agree on DIY at home..

if you want to update using odin, uninstall kies. odin and kies never goes along at same computer. using odin, have to download and install samsung USB drive for x86 or x64 respectively. kies official way, odin 'backdoor' way. the choice is yours

Odin and samsung USB drive: Here

Here are my observations after upgraded to ICS 4.0.3

Positive +
Transition is smoother.
Font is neater
Faster camera shutter

Negative -
Screen color seems like washed out.
Screen brightness dimmed compare to gingerbread
Screen brighten when using Internet browser
Always prompt to press ok or cancel when turn on/off data, annoying.

i update my sgs2 to ics via sofware update, takes around 20mins...
