Recently debranded my e10a and when I go into settings>about phone my baseband says "unknown"
Software was from Omnius.
Will this prevent from getting future updates (such as 2.1)? (it's also rooted)
I have an unbranded world ( european ) model and mine shows "unknown" for baseband. i dont think it will be an issue for you.
My e10i says unknown too... Vodafone GR branded
Sent from my rooted X10mini using XDA App
Even i get unknown always?
Why is it?

Hello all,
I have used the following guide to debrand my S2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894 (I followed it to the letter including step 8) I assumed this would debrand the phone and allow me to use Kies to update the phone as normal without having to wait for my carrier to release updates. Note: this is the only reason I performed the debranding, I had no intention of ‘rooting’ the phone.
So you can imagine my horror when I connected the phone to Kies and was presented with the message:
“This version of the device cannot be updated”
Have I done something wrong? And is this fixable/reversible? I am now starting to wish I hadn’t been so impatient and tinkered with my new toy instead of leaving it to Vodafone…
If anyone knows how an idiots guide on how to fix this I would be very grateful for your advice. Below is some information off of the phone itself and Kies.
Kies says:
Current firmware version : PDA:KDD / PHONE:KDH / CSC:KD1 (VOD)
But if I press *#272*IMEI# The phone says: Sales code XEU
Note: Kies says VOD and the phone states XEU (is this where the problem lies?)
Also in settings>about phone, the following is displayed:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKDH
Kernel Version: [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
Vod = Vodafone
XEU = UK
KDD very old firmware
CSC KD1 is VOD Vodafone CSC
Phone details all KDD
Kies never use it as i have never had an update after changing firmware and i have no intention of waiting six months for firmware .
Kies just does not like some changes made but works with others .
You can always put a Voda firmware on from provider roms thread .
or flash stock rom from stock rom thread .

Thanks for your reply JJE, i thought i had flashed a stock rom? what have i flashed?
I would prefer to get the updates working over Kies if possible as if i had bought an unbranded phone. I thought that completing step 8 of the guide would change the CSC to a generic one, what is the reason for Kies seeing 'VOD'?
Thanks for sparing some of your time!

Never mind, i have solved the problem. Incase anyone else has the same issues the solution can be found below.
Update the phone by going to settings>about phone>software update then register for a samsung account. The phone then downloaded the update over the air and installed.
After this when i connect to Kies i get the message "This is the latest Firmware"
What version is the phone now after doing the update?

I cant update via kies too. When i try ota update, cant connect to the server!

Another way to go is to use SpoofFw if you are rooted. It will spoof another branding and will let you update to that branding using kies. Root and busybox is needed.

Kind of related to this thread... I had gotten the same message with stock firmware unrooted with KG2 firmware. Once I rooted it and flashed back the stock firmware, the message changed to "No updates currently available" instead of "This device cannot be updated". Strange.
Samsung understands when you root your phone the ROM or kernel you have put will not be recognized by them and hence the message...However, if you put in the stock firmware back then the updates by Samsung for your firmware version(if any) will be available for you.

It's actually backwards. When my device was completely stock, it said "This device cannot be updated". But now that it's rooted, it says "No updates currently available".
I tried everything and still indicate that the phone can be updated!!! this is sooo bored ... have someone idea what to do next? if next exist!

Hi guys,
I have a not rooted, unlocked sgs2 bought half a year ago that has I9100XXKI1 baseband version. I connected to Kies today wanting to update to Android 2.3.5 but the only version available is 2.3.4 which is already installed. Can anyone tell me why is that? I assume it has something to do with baseband version, but it's not really making sense to me right now. Aren't all sgs2 suppose to get 2.3.5 update? A colleague of mine bought an unlocked sgs2 a week ago and he was able to update to 2.3.5.
Best regards,
Sergiu

Updates are region dependant. Check the csc on your buddies phone, it maybe from a region which has already received 2.3.5.
THe area where your phone firmware may get an update in the future. Roll out is very uneven, some areas are still getting 2.3.3
Baseband has nothing to do with upgrade and baseband may not be updated for all firmware upgrades . Its normal top have an older baseband .
Kies updates from the codes on your phone that define product code and provider .
Your phone provider has to supply the update to Kies .Samsung have already supplied them with 2.3.5 .
As this is a developers forum few of use use the official upgrade path .

OR updated Kies and check for updates once new kies is installed..
Thanks a lot for your answers guys. The thing that's strange is that both me and my colleague have unlocked sim-free phones bought from the same country/region. Anyhow tomorrow I'm gonna check his csc to look for differences.
All the best,
Sergiu

like I said download kies from sammy homepage install connect fone and go from there since it seem you dont wont to flash offical roms via odin?
Well I thought about flashing the phone but I don't want to lose the warranty so I'm gonna stick with Samsungs updates for now. I have the latest version of Kies installed so this shouldn't be the problem. I also checked Sammy for region updates and for my region 2.3.4 is the last update. So probably my colleague has a phone from a different CSC.

I have just bought a used O2 I9100P, O2 UK model.
When I connect with kies to update from GB 2.3.5 I get:
"your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
Anyone else had this problem?
My device is identified on Kies as... PDA:KJ4 PHONE:KI3 CSC:KJ2 (XXX)
On device info:
PDA : I9100PXXKJ4
PHONE : I9100PXXKI3
CSC : I9100PO2UKJ2
Further to this when I enter *2767*4387264636#
I get:
SELLOUT SMS
[1]Sellout SMS: OFF
[2]PCode:Not Active
[3]Moderod
I also have noticed the imei on about phone does not match the sticker inside the phone.
The phone seems to not be rooted. Could the previous owner have flashed a rom which changed the IMEI? I have no experience with rooting and flashing.
Any help with getting this phone back to stock GB or ICS and the correct IMEI would be greatly appreciated.

Take out the battery. The sticker on the backside of the phone should give you correct model no.
I have a I9100P and mine says that, on the sticker along with IMEI No & serial No.
Does the IMEI No match your phone," dial *#06#

The IMEI on the sticker inside the phone does not match the one that comes up when I dial *#06#
Also the IMEI appearing on screen is not the standard 004999010640000.
The one on screen ends 787 the one on the box ends 777.
Sound like your imei is corrupted.

If I flashed the official I9100P O2 ICS ROM using Odin, would my phone be fixed in terms of being able to recieve future updates from Kies or OTA?
Someone also had mentioned checking the boot display to see if I9100P or I9100 appears and it does appear as I9100P - see attached.
Thanks again.

yes you will be able to recieve updates from kies.
I have the Orange I9100P and yes thats what you get on the boot display, however if you flash the old bootloader, you will just get I9100 displayed instead. You will stll have all the NFC funtions though.
here is the 02 latest i9100p ICS firmware.

Thanks for the link, I had been reading that thread and, I have went ahead and flashed ICS with Odin, it's working fine so far.
I just found that my baseband version is different from my mates having the same handset. My baseband version is I9300XXLEF.
Mine is in my sig below (not got my phone to hand to type it again )
Mine seems to be different. Do you know why? I tried checking for updates but it shows no update. Is your handset simfree? WHEN I CONNECT KIES VIA USB , IT SAYS YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT SOFTWARE UPGRADING VIA KIES.

Mines the same sim free from BuyMobilePhones.
I notice like others 2 problems with my sim free LEF (BTU) GS3
Firstlywhen coneected to latest kies (2.3.....), it says "your Device does not support software upgrading via Kies" rather than "your formware is upto date" as did before with GS2.
GS3 does not allow apps transfer to External SD card despite prompting to do so.
any ideas why this is and any solutions?
many thanks in advance
