One what's download mode got to do with Kies ??? Kies does not use download mode .
Either let Kies update or use Odin not both at once .
Update via Odin and root read .

Well Kies does reboot the phone to download mode before it updates the firmware but I think this is where it seems to be failing for most people, after getting to download mode it does nada and the update fails.
Just use Odin to update.

Thanks if i update via odin i risk to lost some files and i lost the root?

Thanks if i update via odin i risk to lost some files and i lost the root?
As per the post .
Flash KE2 full Root flash KE2 kernel only .
Risk about 99% safe and about 99.99% recoverable from a problem anyway on SGS1/2
PS i thought you meant 3 button download before with Kies

Galaxy s2 kf3 firmware

Hi guys,
i have updated my firmware through kies from ke8 to kf3
(detail is pda :kf3,phone :ke4, csc : kf3(INU)),kindly let me know what firmware and kernel should i root and flash phone with so that it works properly.
Thanks,please reply any suggestion would suffice.
You need to flash with Chainfire's KF3 kernel to root. You already flashed the firmware, so you just need to flash the rooted kernel.

If you already don't have Odin, then Download from here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=611625&d=1306787405
To get rid of Yellow triangle which is gonna appear after rooting you need to flash back the Stock/Samsung signed kernel of KF3, which you will download from here,

Yes, you can update via Kies and root again. Kies wont detect if your phone is rooted or not as long as you are on Stock firmware.

[Q] Upgrading rooted 2.2.2 to rooted 2.3.4 ?

I have a Galaxy S2 with XWKE7 (2.3.3) rooted on it.
How can I upgrade to 2.3.4 and root again ?
In this thread the kernels KH1 and KH4 are tested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
As I cannot update via the official way "Phone -> Software update" shows 'No update available' and I cannot get KIES connected to my Galaxy.
Can I just flash KH4 rooted over the KE7 rooted with Odin without changing baseband and firmware (so it will not be wiped) ?

Flash full KH4 firmware root with KH4
Or if you want flash KH4 root over KE7 for an upgraded kernel on old firmware KE7 and that does not make sense .

Yes I have it (included in that kernel).
@JJEgan: So you mean I can do this simple step: just flashing the rooted KH4 kernel and that's it ? And leave original baseband (XXKE4) and firmware as is ?

Yes but why only update the kernel you have new kernel old firmware and old modem . But you can do it if you want but it wont be 2.3.4 firmware .

The only reason is to use USB host for the SLD controller software by Chainfire and to run Drive Mount.
Installing firmware does require a complete backup and reinitiializing of the Galaxy which is a real hassl. Or not ?

I want to root my S2

Hi
Now I am absolutely stock as You can see I update my S2 via Kies and now I have KI3. I decide to root my device in oder to get all cool fetures as CWM and so on. But I am a lit bit disapointed with my battery life so I though that I can try to flash KI8.
1. I think I will use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 but I don't understand diffrence between Frankenstein Firmwares and officials. Maybe someone could explain?
2. As I mention before I updated via Kies to KI3 so I have new bootloader or not which you can't reset with Jig or not? If I have it can I still flash this one:
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI8
PHONE: XXKI4

XWKI8 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/4O6DVGUGSU

And if I flash it I will have my native language on the phone (Lithuanian) or not?
3. Now then I reset my my phone as it was made it changes language to Polish and it's polish on the first boot how to make that Lithuanish would be the default language despite the wipe?
4. Imagine that I flash new firmeware KI8, and now I have to root. I think I will use this guide to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
And what is diffrent between ChainFire's or Odia's insecure kernels. Where get those?
For now that is all

The posts explains .
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates
2. As I mention before I updated via Kies to KI3 so I have new bootloader or not which you can't reset with Jig or not?
New bootloader cannot be reset custom rom counter .
If I have it can I still flash this one:

Thanks, now I have KI8 ant root

My SGS3 is rooted. I just recieved an OTA update. But...!

The device will reboot to recovery mode (CWM) and do nothing.
I'm guessing the CWM is the problem here.
Is there any safe solution for this? I don't want to wipe or backup or anything if possible.
Is there a way to just reverse the root?

For christ`s sake choose, if you want root forget about Samsung or stick with Samsung and forget about XDA. You can`t have it both ways :silly:

If you are rooted and you want to keep root delete FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk.in system/apps, you will not be bothered then with OTA`s.. For upgrades go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash the rom you downloaded with Odin v3 3.0.4.and reroot afterwards or flash with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root. See item 2 and 3 of my signature.

OTA update works with ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.4 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
It will fail signature validation and then give you an option to install anyway...

Well, you obviously can't flash a stock FOTA with CWM, you need a stock recovery (Don't know why) and then you can flash FOTAs..
Try flashing firmware using Kies, or downloading it from http://sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Both will work

can not update via kies after flashing back to stock rom

I had flashed to leak LI2 and then flashed back to LG3 stock rom
I can not update via kies after flashing back to LG3, I flashed LG3 and want to update to LH3 via kies. It said my firmware it is updated, but LH3 should be most update firmware in my coutry. I try to reset my sales code *#272#IMEI#, but it doesnot help.
How to slove this problem?

Download and install your update manualy. See item 2 and 3 in my signature on where to get it and how to do it. Uninstall Kies ( it`s a piece of crap ) exept the drivers.

One Kies will only update the product and codes shown if their is an actual update for them . Wrong codes = no update . Correct codes but no update for them = firmware not updated by a vendor .
Do you have any proof that LH1 is available for your phone and whatever codes its showing Kies .
LH1 can be downloaded via CHECKFUS if its available for your phone .
More information on Kies try a Kies or Samsung forum .

Sorry mate, I am newbie. What do you mean of correct product code?
I have checked the firmware which i flashed is matched with my country original firmware.
The most updated firmware in my country is LH3, I flash leak rom(LI2) before, and now I have flashed back to LG3(my country previous firmware), but kies said my LG3 is most updated rom and it means KIES does not show latest firmware. It should be one more update. I know I can flash updated firmware via odin3. I want to solve it, because 4.1.1 stock rom will be available soon.
