Samsung Galaxy S II GT I9100 gets Android 4.0.4 Update via KIES
The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is out with the launch of Google Nexus 7 tablet and on July 10 Google pushed Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update via OTA to Galaxy Nexus smart phone. For Samsung Galaxy S II its bits too early to see Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update but it would be certainly available on tentative date in August. Nevertheless, the international version of Samsung Galaxy S II gets the Android 4.0.4 update since the device after the big Android 4.0.3 update which was pushed in the last week of May this year.
Today we hear multiple reports stating that Samsung is rolling out Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update to the GSM based Samsung Galaxy S II GT I9100 devices around the world. Surprisingly these updates aren’t available via the OTA but it’s been pushed via the Samsung KIES, the PC connectivity tool for Samsung mobile phones. This update will soon be covering the entire region around the world but as of now its debut with the launch in Russia. And the multiple US variants are the next in line most likely.
If you have international Samsung Galaxy S II then connect your phone to the Samsung KIES using the PC and there is update waiting for you! Please make sure that you have taken backup of the existing files on your phone.

When is this expected to be launched for India via Kies.
not yet available in india….
Good reviews on your website, I am a newcomer
So Kies is the K….ey? good for Windows users….. how about Mac users who cannot update via Kies? pretty unfortunate Samsung don’t think of them (us), who are also Samsung customers and don’t care about brand battles but about good products
Does rooting fixes the problem of those Galaxy S2 who suddenly turns off without apparent reason and often (like mine purchased in April 2012) ?
can’t connect to KIES, tried all sorts of tricks to no avail, please help!! (stephenkmanda@gmail.com)
Not Available in Pakistan as well
easily drains my battery after the update to ICS
ICS for SII is already available in india
I have a SII unlocked, international version.
After loading the 4.0.4 update from this site, I am not any more able to do updates via KIES, because it does not recognize my phone.
