I got the Galaxy S2 from UK.
The firmware version is
PDA: I9100XWKE2
PHONE: I9100XXKDJ
CSC : I9100OXXKE2
Build Info: Friday May 6 07:48:55 KST 2011
When i connect to Kies, its says that this is the latest firware. Saw in may threads that KE7 is the latest.
Please help me install without using Odin.
KE 7 has not been rolled out by all providers yet .
Product code defines update ..
You can wait or use Odin .

No...data and settings will not be erased....enjoy...
Thanks guys.. it worked.. Only one problem i find now..
KIES is not detecting the phone..
Is it because i installed the UK firmware in India ??
EDIT: It detects the phone.. But shows,
"This version of the device cannot be updated"
Product code no longer matches firmware on Kies server or their is as of yet no update .
jje
Flash one more time to get your csc replaced with ke7 version.
Where do i get the CSC file from ??
Any link please??

Kies only gives an update to the phone that have been updated by the phone provider .
Once you change the product codes then you may not get further kies updates .
A stock Samsung rom via Odin will not void warranty .

Hello,
Trying to upgrade my Galaxy S II to latest ICS builde that came out today. I got a message on my phone that there is a new version. Tried upgrading through mobile data, WLAN and through KIES, but it wont upgrade. Through mobile and WLAN it fails after downloaded, reboot and installing 5%. With Kies it says that the phone is not supported in this recovery mode, something like that.
I have rooted my phone back in the days but I loaded original firmware back on it.
Model: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
Any sugestions?
Kies says: Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: I9100XWKI8/I9100XXKI2/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKI8 (ODK)
Just a guess.. But you have to change your CSC back to NEE if that is what it came with

It is some software and settings that are different from place to place. The generic one in the nordic countries is called NEE. Kies will only recognize your software and offer an upgrade if all the software-versions represents one in their database.
Sometimes when flashing roms your CSC can change, and then you will have to change it back in order to be able to upgrade using Kies or Softwareupdate

And where can I find this CSC for Norway?
If your phone is branded, you will have to get that CSC, if not you will probably have to look for NEE
I have now rooted my phone with following firmware:
GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI8_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI4
It's got NEE, but still getting errors in kies: your device doest not support software upgrading via kies
I think I have found right kernel and firmware for my phone thanx to these sites:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_Series
http://www.samfirmware.com/
Flashing the firmware (rom) now. Hoping this will help get kies working again as it should be working.
If it doesn't you should manually change your CSC
I gave up upgrading through kies or phone. Rooted my phone and loaded an official rom (4.0.3) on it. Works like a charm
My problem now is restoring apps and data from my Titanum backup.. I have forgotten the Titanum armored passphrase
Hello,
I upgraded my galaxy S2 to the SFR (France) ICS firmware I9100SFRLP7 by using CheckFusDownloader. It works but unfortunately my mobile is still not recognized by Kies. The message "your device does not support software upgrading via kies" is displayed on the screen.
Phone Info:

Any idea ? If the CSC is not correct, what is the correct one and how to change it ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi all I was wondering if I could get some help, I have installed Kies and tried to search for a update but I get the above error, I am in the UK and my phone is on the 3 network, when I first had the phone I updated to a custom ROM but then I changed back to what I thought was the default ROM which would allow me to use Kies but I get this error, can anyone help please as I want to sort this ASAP so I can update to the official ICS

Once more .
Phone codes no longer match >> Kies cannot find firmware for mismatched codes .

@ red_Stafford.
You can update to official ics even without kies . Download the official rom and flash via Odin. It would save you time

Thanks for the link but I've used CheckFusDownloader to get the firmware. But still not recognized.
English translation from the guy that cannot write according to the forum rules and must be year one at skool .
Your Product Code is under the battery .
Its worth repeating methods of updating .
One official via Kies when an update is available only .Providing your phone presents the correct hidswver codes to match a firmware on the Kies server .
Two join XDA Developers forum and download stock firmware as soon as its released .
As oft repeated mix and match may not work and its rather pointless choose your path for up grades and stick with that method .Probably more time wasted trying to go back to Kies from stock than any other .

Ok so I don't know where else to ask I need help, for some reason after I updated to the latest ICS, I can no longer tether my phone to my computer via usb, Bluetooth, or wifi as a hotspot. I have tried different computers and devices that use wifi and Bluetooth nothing works. So I thought maybe if I reverted back to the original firmware I could get it to work. That is the where I come to a new problem Kies no longer supports software upgrading to my phone after I used Odin to update to ICS.

Have you updated your phone with official ICS firmware through ODIN? Have you checked the drivers are properly installed? I updated my phone having Saudi Arabia gingerbread firmware with ICS India firmware recently..... after seeing your post I checked the USB tethering, it is working fine......below 2 drivers were installed when I started tethering:
1. Samsung Mobile USB composite device
2. Samsung Mobile USB Remote NDIS Network Device
Also, I had same problem with KIES not recognizing my phone, but it was resolved itself after I did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache (you need to take backup of your data before you do this, as it will wipe all user data like contacts, messages, applications, photo, video etc).
Please check
Thank you for responding, after I posted I kept searching the internet and found a ICS update from last month for my phone, I wiped my phone and gave it an install and so far it seems to be working, this was the 2nd ICS build I found tonight. I am happy it works.

Your Device's current firmware version is not supported to update FW via KIES..
Hi.. I'm using a galaxy S2 I9100..
My current FW version as shown while connecting to PC via KIES:
PDA: LPT
PHONE: LQ6
CSC: LPA(XEH)
But while checking directly on phone using the code *#1234# everything is appearing as same except the CSC.. Using this code in the phone, my phone is showing the CSC as I9100 XEU LPA.. Means my phone's CSC are not coming same on both.. So, is it the reason that my phone's current FW is not supported to update FW via kies??
If it's so.. Then, how to resolve this problem??

I think you got a free UK phone. There's not an official update at this moment for free UK phones, just get the last version of Kies and wait until the update is released.

Kies updates official firmware ONLY .
Only when the provider of the phone updates .
Example
Provider xxxx Saudi used in yy Turkey network .
Update from the provider Saudi when they update only .
SEARCH for CHECKFUS and put your product code etc in the boxes as the codes you post show possible UK as provider of the phone .

You can flash a ics rom from odin
check the guide here to use odin and flash ics:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Download this latest ics:http://skywanker.net/download/downl...9100_SER_I9100XWLP7_I9100OXELP7_I9100XXLPS.7z
Update has not aired yet lad, best bet would would be to flash a custom ROM if you can't wait. But if you don't want to play around with custom ROM then wait.

same here try to use ODIN if you want to upgrade your SGS2 into ICS based..

You have the latest firmware for YOUR phone you wait for your provider to update .
That is the official update .
Alternative .
If you want to update then you flash a stock rom for your region from sammobile or samsung-updates or xda stock rom thread .
If your region has not been updated then flash any stock rom and test .
Your baseband shows as Gulf Countries origin see faqs and guides .

Please read JJEgan post above you! You can flash and test other stock roms from different regions with odin (you do not need to be rooted to do this) But if you want to do a full backup (nandroid) of your current rom then you need to be rooted, if you just want to save pictures/music just copy them to pc and flash via odin >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969 <<

If you can't upgrade through kies, ODIN will be your only choice, and you dont need to root your phone for that.
