samsung S2 software updates ?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have had my s2 for about 17 months now, everytime I check for updates it searches and comes back with no updates available - is this normal ? ( or O2 normal ?) surely, after that length of time, there must be software updates ?......... or not ?

Thanks in advance,

Kenny

There aren't any OTA updates for the S2 on O2. You need to download Kies and install it on your PC to update with the data cable.

I would suggest disabling the firewall and antivirus to get a clean install of Kies. It can be very temperamental!

Quick update :- have installed Kies, plugged phone, phone is recognised, can move files from one to the other and kies recognises that there is indeed a newer firmware version

when I click on the firmware upgrade button, nothing really happens, apart from a new screen opening with nothing in it ?

according to kies my current firmware version is PDA:KF3/PHONE:KE7/CSC:KG2 (O2U)

 latest firmware version available is PDA:LP3/PHONE:LPR/CSC:LP4 (O2U)

I have no idea what any of that means, anyone help ?

Thanks

That's the update you need ICS. Have you disabled the firewall whilst trying to update?

Disable any virus software too.
