Hi all,

I've had my S2 for a year now, love it, but I think it's time to bite the bullet and upgrade the Android version. I can find info on how to upgrade (I'm feeling a bit nervous about it, must admit), but can't find anything that clarifies whether I can do the upgrade straight from gingerbread top jellybean, or whether I HAVE to upgrade to ICS first.

Can anyone confirm pls
I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    Simple answer is yes you can go straight to JB. As long as the JB update has been released for your phone.

    If JB has been released for your phone and the update is available for your individual phone .
    Two routes to Samsung upgrades One OTA on phone via settings software update .
    Method two is via Samsung's Kies software .

    Again your individual phone must have an update pushed out by the provider .

    The third way would be to join an Android forum and flash a stock JB rom via Odin .
