hi guys! i need some help please, my kies doesn't find the update. i have a s2 lte from rogers and when i connect it to samsung kies on my pc the upgrade deosn't pop up. help.....

It should be there. Try updating your Kies again and then you should see a notice saying your firmware needs updating.

Rogers has this ROM locked down too tight. Now that it is on 4.0.4, can it still be rooted? Does anyone have a link explaining how to do it?

My kies doesn't find the update now either.  At first, it found the update and started to download it. Then Kies told me to restart the phone.  It was not there.  I tried it again and Kies says I have the latest Firmware.  My firmware is still Gingerbread.  My wife has the same phone so I tried her phone. Kies says my wife's phone has the latest Firmware.  She still has Gingerbread.

Is this happening because everybody is updating at once.  I called Samsung and his computer told them Rogers S2lte does not have ICS yet.  I called rogers and they sent me an email in how to download ICS on S2 LTE.

Software Update (Samsung Galaxy S II - Android 4.0 [Ice Cream Sandwich])

This is how it went down for me. Kies upgraded my phone no problem this morning. I would reinstall Kies and try again.

Has anyone checked to see if bluetooth hands free is working on ICS update. It works great on gb, but I hear it doesn't work on android 4.0. Please confirm. I need hands free with my car speaker kit (Motorola T505) and afraid to upgrade until I'm sure it will work. Also if I don't like ICS upgrade can I roll back to the previous ROM? When performing the upgrade does the process backup the existing system and data, or overwrites everything?

When I plug my S2 Lte it says THis is the latest firmware. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know how to fix it?

I have the T505. It worked for me. The only thing I had to do was pair it with phone again. One thing I like is that the phone will initiate a reconnect when I turn bluetooth back on. Before , I had to turn off the Rokr and turn it back on to reconnect bluetooth.
