Yes you can flash only CSC and PHONE from 2.3.6 but the amount of work you need to do is same even if you flash 4.0.3. Also you'll still be on GB. As I said earlier best option is to download Indian 4.0.3 and flash it via Odin.

The latest available in India officially via Samsung in 4.0.3.Sammobile/Sam firmware are fan sites and not official Samsung websites so the firmwares there are not always officially released.

BSNL has shi**y 3G and broadband plans. I'm on 750 plan where i get 1mbps till 8GB or something and later it reduces to 512kbps. I don't care much since if I don't dl much these days

That is a great plan but from what I know reliance blocks torrent and p2p ports.... There is always a work around but still

Have u tried turning it off and on again
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I agree that docomo has amazingly fast 3G service but their network is utter crap in my location. SMS and voice calls on their n/w is totally crap. I tried their n/w for few months and finally gave up.

I somehow don't like reliance since they own reliance entertainment whose sole job is to threaten websites in courts and block all websites as they are responsible for distribution of movies involving reliance production.

Also Reliance billing is sort of suspicious. One of my friend got billed around 15k due to some technical error and another friend had some major billing discrepancies which I don't remember much.
[Galaxy S II General] emceeb:
No wonder they roll out cheap 3 g they havnt spend much on network coverage and He reliance are assholes that way that why ports for torrent r blocked like I said

[Galaxy S II General] kbxdauser2011:
Just had a call from Samsung Technical executive regarding my issue,...

he confirmed KIES is NOT discontinued or unsupported from SAMSUNG & further asked me to visit the service centre to upgrade to latest 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 if available at the service centre ! He said that would surely sort out the problem.The Samsung official also said JB for SG2 India would be out within next 1-2 months max !

Now for my issue , though i have certain doubts about bugs & performance issues in Indian ICS 4.0.3, are these sorted out in Indian ICS 4.0.4 .

& So i'm asking an Imp q'n here to all u expert users...will it be wise to upgrade to Indian ICS4.0.4 or for the matter even to Indian ICS 4.0.3 from my stable & No issue,xcept KIES GB 2.3.6...would i be missing or regret anything after the upgrade?

I want the least buggy official f/w if i upgrade from 2.3.6
[Galaxy S II General] emceeb:
Havnt u seen the IT crowd its a British comedy about 3 people in the it department whoever someone calls the it dept the first question they ask is have u tried turning it off and on again also its a joke they have in the west they say then whenever we try to call a Indian call center its the first answer they get...

And a study has shown tHT about 50 percent of a windows pc r solved by a restart

So what I am saying is its a global joke and if u have issues with your device try turning it on and off again that might solve it

Have u tried turning it off and on again

[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
ICS 4.0.3 has no performance bugs. It's lot more smoother than 2.3.6. There is one bug which reports high Android OS usage but thats a display bug and has nothing to do with whats actually happening. Google has fixed it in 4.0.4 but you want see any issues with battery or performance due to it.

Upgrading manually is 10 mins job. Download the file, open odin and flash no need to visit service center.If you don't like ICS you can go back to GB 2.3.6 using the same procedure in 10 mins.
[Galaxy S II General] AayushDhuria:

Please don't mislead,I'm NOT quite an expert like u ppls,...so this has to be sure shot the REAL thing,...btw,did u upload those yourself..or u might just tell the source u got these two.

Anyway Thanks for sharing ! :)
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
This video is like a slap to all OEMs who give lame excuses and don't want to update their devices as they are lazy in providing support.

You think people troll here. Don't you.? These are official firmwares for India from Sammobile.

I installed these firmwares on my friend's phone and it exploded on his face while he was talking on his phone with his parents. Install at your own risk and don't blame me.
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
U can't order from belkin but they are available on flipkart and snapdeal. Also look at fommy.co.in and ebay.

If you want a hard case, the Amzer Snap on rubberised hard case is spectacular. It's available in pink, blue and black. Sadly the black is out of stock everywhere.

You could try blue or pink though, if ur that kind of guy ;)

Rakesh shared the OTA from sammobile site. There is no need to take things so serious.
[Galaxy S II General] emceeb:
Even the bet dev here will tell u the same thing, all we can do is point you towards the target. You will have to do it on your own risk and no one uploads files on samfirmware they get leaks and official updates themselves from whatever sources they have. Also a quick Google search will give you the name of the official firmware and you can download it from anywhere from the net. You just need to be sure the place u downloading from is legit(as in trusted) if you r so afraid that something is going to go wrong you should not be flashing anything in the first place. Badmouthing and trying the patience of forum members is not going to take you anywhere.
[Galaxy S II General] AayushDhuria:
here you go flipkart

Flipkart has each of em, but all of em are out of stock except this one :P I've ordered one

Please refrain from using such loaded words man....i didnot badmouth any1here as you portraying me!

I already thanked 3ice Rakesh for sharing the ROM's...& simply asked him if this were Really the Official Indian ones...as simple as that!

Rakesh took offense & went hyper or sarcastic with his reply !

I didn't honestly expect such response...so was astonished !

Look Im NOT regular here as u guys here & so dont know what sort of language is correct & normal here,niether I'm a goood keyboard fighter & flames,etc simply doesnot appeal to me !

If ppls r offended (even those i never even interacted but have readily jumped guns upon me),..i'm sorry.Still if u like to be Happy or ego be good ,u can thrash me in whatever way u like...i wont mind !

[Galaxy S II General] emceeb:
This is exactly why I said he was trying the patience of the forum members.

If he is that scared he should not be flashing anything anywhere.

Also if somehow turns out that he has bricked his phone will he get on a journey to hunt and kill everyone who gave him the links and helped him.

Not sure what confirmation is he looking for.

Bro,if u would have been a bit more explanatory at the first place, none of these confusions would have happened !

What i actually specifically asked you was whether it was the same "OFFICIAL" GB or ICS roms as released by Samsung India ,as there was NO mention by you regarding the source. If u would have mentioned sammobile as the source, i would have NOT bothered to enquire,u didnot! ....Get this neither do i like to pain anybody when he/she is doing something voluntarily.

I simply had a doubt ,so asked...but least had the idea the community would so hyper with it (atleast some members on the sidelines who like taking potshots on me... but with whom i even interacted & had No deal here)...My Bad Idea,wrong place i think !:o

Also,the Local Samsung service centre guy just gave a call back to me,that JB for SGS2 & Note would be coming to them (Not through KIES first ) by November 1st or 2nd week! I cannot vouch for Authencity !

As long as you donot Factory reset/ wipe data , there is no problem with CSC

But before Factory reset/wiping data, its better to flash Indian CSC and do a Wipe Data

I did Factory reset on KJ3 and phone started offin Dutch and swype keyboard and diff widgets in tw home screen

and also Using Wipe data option in the Recovery mode is best option ,coz if select from keypad by entering *2767*3855# ,AS LATER option also delete SD card (phone internal SD card Data)

I am doing that only "charge few mins more like 5 to 10 mins after phone indicates fully charge"

WTH is this Bump charge
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
yes. it has something similar. i am yet to figure out what it is. gimme a while. i will see and tell you. and i will give my opinion on the rom in a day

and regarding the CheckRom solution, nope. i have not tried it. since the rom was not working as expected, i discontinued using it. i was on CM for so long, even that started giving issues on gTalk. i might go back to MIUI or CheckRom in future or stay with stock 2.3.4 as the last resort.

i hope when we get ICS, it fixes this gTalk issue.
