I would try ODIN - its pretty much fool proof, man. I had issues with mine, where I couldn't update as well. KIES can be a b***h and is unstable anyway. I wouldn't worry too much and just use ODIN. But you need to have KIES installed because it puts in the Sammy USB drivers you need.

Its not like you are flashing a rom that was not designed for your phone anyway. I can't see you bricking it unless you remove the USB cable, or do something else during the flash. Honestly, its really easy to do.

What I did an you can try the same, although if something does go wrong, I bear no responsibility (just saying that to cover my butt)

1) From phone, go into download mode (volume down, power on, home button simultaneously until you get a warning, then press vol up)

2)From computer, run ODIN er. 1.85 and plug in your phone via the USB whilst in download mode. ODIN will find your phone (ID:COM port will go yellow and "added!" will appear).

3) Push the "PDA" option under "files" and point to the ICS upgrade and press "start." Everything else leave alone.

The thing will start flashing different files and your phone will have a little progress worm that will get longer and longer until its complete. It will take about 5 mins to flash. The thing will then re-boot and you are done.

Good luck - or you could take it to AU, but I wouldn't bother them myself.
[Galaxy S II General] jakegio:
Thanks so much for the instructions. I did take it to Au. They will send it to samsung for service. They gave me a loaner in the meantime. Should be back in 7 to 10 days, no charge.
[Galaxy S II General] tora201:
No worries mate. Yeah AU spun me a similar story. I just couldn't be bothered going through all their hoops in order to get the upgrade.

Let us know how things pan out with AU.
[Galaxy S II General] jakegio:
ok, so ive got the loaner GS2. it prompts me for update. its the gingerbread.LG2 update from about a month ago (40mb or so). I install it, everything works fine. Now, it says im up to date. Still on 2.3.6. Im beginning to think Au took the update down and isnt pushing it anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] tora201:
Nah - the update is still up an working. I checked AU's site. Not sure why it says it's all uptodate. You seem to have nothing but bad luck with this! Hey if you are bored with the loaner, you could always upgrade to ICS using ODIN ;)

Can anyone unlock the sim lock from KDDI?
[Galaxy S II General] jakegio:
They actually did suspend the 4.0.4 update as of 9/17 because of a GPS bug it seems.

anyone lose GPS function with the update?

edit: i guess it was 9/15 that they stopped pushing it.

unlock the sim lock from KDDI

Please tell me weather after rooting sim lock will be opened?

As I don't know much about the mobile phone, so please help in unlocking (SIM) the KDDI AU Galaxy S II ISW11SC

Kinda new at this but decided to give it a shot. There are many variants of the SG2 and recently in Japan, AU Kddi released a beast...

As reported by gsmarena.com-"The Galaxy S II ISW11SC has a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, 1.4GHz dual-core Qualcomm QSC6085 processor, 8 megapixel rear camera with 1080p video recording, 2 megapixel front camera, 16GB internal memory, expandable memory, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and NFC."

But being released in Japan there isn't much support for rooting on this phone. Part of the problem is most of its support and forums are in Japanese. After post a thread question, user tora201 showed me the light. He came across a japanese website with a super simple root for this phone. I decided to post it for all of us to use it with some simple instructions. Thanks tora201 for the help. None of this work is mine and all credit goes to the respective creators.
[Galaxy S II General] jakegio:
Got my phone back from Au. They had it for just over a week. It came back from Samsung with 4.0.4 installed and working almost perfectly. GPS is fine, no problems there. The only issue im having is that i periodically get an error message that says Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped. I think I'm just going to leave it alone for the time being though.

ICS does seem to run nicer on the ISW11SC than gingerbread did. Apps open much faster and my battery seems to last a little longer.

The new update has arrived, flashing via kies make an ODIN3 update, I got the ROM file from the temp directory.

The rooting method is the same as the LPJ ROM, this ROM is LPL (Build was from 19 Sep).

Back to installing Google Now ...
[Galaxy S II General] leolone:
Could u help me about rooting this phone? I got a new update too so now i'm in ICS, but dont no how to root.

Wait.. did you say installing Google Now? How?

I searched in my 4rum in VietNam, they said it's need deodexed in Rom. So if i'm in stock Rom, is it have deodexed already?

Sry about my Eng. I'm Vietnamese
[Galaxy S II General] dvhh:
Use this file with the recovery mode.

getting busybox is helpful afterward.

Google Now is buggy on stock ROM, and my guess is that services outside US for Google Now is very minimal.
[Galaxy S II General] Snuffsis:
I rooted the phone with the superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed file and root access works fine, but i'd like to know how to remove the aumarket application, because that sucker is sucking up all the batterylife from my phone like crazy, and i never use it.

EDIT: I searched the entire phone and found a couple more files with aumarket and kddimarket in the name, would it be safe to assume that i should delete these, as i presume that it won't actually be able to brick my phone by doing that?

[Galaxy S II General] TDK1701:
Rooted it

Hi, managed to root it, but it refuses to recognize the australian SIM card we are using, i suspect it is because it is a CDMA phone and the australian CDMA service was turned off years ago, would this be correct ?
[Galaxy S II General] agwood:
So just to help clear my head about this phone, With the ICS LPL ROM there is no way to install a CWM recovery?

I only ask because I want to try to do some testing to compile an AOSP Jellybean ROM for the ISW11SC.

I have already decompiled the LPL rom and I have all the required files for binaries which should work in JB (just have to get the framework correct), and I also have a decompiled a bunch of ROMS for the Sprint Epic 4G Touch which has the same SOC - QSC6085 and also used the same rebadged CDMA version of the Exynos 4210 (C210).

The biggest difference I see between the 2 phones is possibly the baseband (should be on from the decompiled LPL), NO NFC on the 4G Touch and the Recovery.

I could always go back to GB and continue there, but I want to try to make it as simple as possible.

I got this phone from a co-worker for $50.00 who upgraded to the SGSIII Progre and the J Butterfly and it is absolutely pristine !

I don't want to hard brick the phone by experimenting with a CWM recovery for the Epic 4G Touch but I have a strange feeling it might work.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Correct the phone is straight CDMA only and has no ability to run on Global GSM bands, unfortunately !!
[Galaxy S II General] dvhh:
You can probably put CWM via odin, this would be the most disrect way to do so.
[Galaxy S II General] agwood:
I could not figure out how to convert the flashable CWM .zip into an Odin flashable .tar file. I tried to do some reading but could find no way to convert the file. Maybe I missed something but I have not seen a compatible CWM or similar recovery for the 11SC that is Odin flashable. Have you seen one or have a link to one?

*** UPDATE ***

I found an Odin Flashable CWM touch recovery that I have been able to flash over the stock locked (3E) recovery. If anyone needs it let me know I think I can upload it here

[Galaxy S II General] Hodsgod:
That isn't entirely true, it has a global CDMA passport, it will work in countries that use CDMA. However here aren't so many of them. I have one and have used it in areas of USA, I believe it works in Korea too. I am English and when I go home it does not work at all.
[Galaxy S II General] debaucher:
What I meant is it cannot be unlocked.... So while you can pay for the global roaming and use it in other countries while you visit.... You cannot buy it in Japan then stick in your home country sim card and have it work on another carrier.

My other point about the phone being a bit old and better options available now still stands.

Thanks tshailesh for your input. The app worked but the phone could not be unlocked yet. I ran into a problem while experimenting. I flashed a Sprint Epic 4G Touch - sprint galaxy s2 - modem and I was able to get signal on the phone, but it could not call out. I went a step further and tried to flash the entire Epic 4G Touch Stock ROM on the phone and really it boots and plays the boot sound, but no display. The display is just blank, only sound. I panicked and tried to go back to the LB3 stock ROM for ISW11SC but even after many flashes the phone display is still blank but there is boot sound and you can hear click sounds when you tap the screen. Any rescue from this situation? I would appreciate any help please.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] ezeuba:
I think the problem is with the bootloader. When I flashed the Epic 4G Touch Stock ROM the bootloader changed and all the available ISW11SC ROMs do not have the bootloader. Can anyone help with the bootloader file? The phone is still borked, no display but boots well: I can hear the boot sounds. I appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you.

Solution found!!! Sure feels good inside when you sort out your own issues yourself. If anyone has this kind of issue, let me know. I am now officially the fixer...
