[Q]Why Kies doesn't show new version of firmware ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q]Why Kies doesn't show new version of firmware ?
My question is straightforward, sorry if it has already been asked before but I was unable to find an answer.
My phone has the following firmware versions:
PDA : I9100XWKE2
PHONE : I9100XXKDJ
CSC : I9100LUXKD3
Build Info : Fri May 6 07:48:55 KST 2011
Although new versions of firmware for SGS2 exists, I still have that old one. Why kies doesn't show new versions. Is it related to the region ?
TIA

Yep. Depending on where you live. KE2 is the newest in Norway aswell.

Product code determines firmware .
If the product supplier has updated firmware its on Kies .

If the phone is locked to a provider, you'll get different updates. Not every country has the same releasedates.

[Q] UK Galaxy S2 firmware upgrade issue in India

PDA: I9100XWKE2

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 .

Flash one more time to get your csc replaced with ke7 version.
Where do i get the CSC file from ??
Any link please??

A few days ago I've bought the Galaxy S2 from Amazon and I have 2 questions:
1. If I enter the following code - *#2222# into the phone it'll tell me the rev version of the phone and it says my is REV1.2, whats the differences between the Rev's?
2. Is the latest official Baseband Version is I9100UHKG4 and latest Build number is GINGERBREAD.UHKG7 ?
Thanks for helpers
min is 1.4. but have no idea what's FTA HW Version means.
t says my is REV1.2, whats the differences between the Rev's?
Samsung do not issue change logs .
Is the latest official Baseband Version is I9100UHKG4 and latest Build number is GINGERBREAD.UHKG7 ?
PDA latest is KG7 Baseband latest KG6
Connect to Kies should tell you your firmware is up to date .
Thoughts and they are no more than thoughts .
One your hardware rev is very very early two KG7 on a brand new phone .

I didn't get the phone on KG7, got it on lower version, connected to Kies and it updated it to KG7, but why my Baseband is KG4 and Kies says I'm up-to-date?
Also I didn't understand is REV1.2 newer than REV1.4 or older?

[Q] Where to find latest original COMCEL Colombia firmware?

I actually have this setup after flashing and rooted XXKI4 (intratech tread), every things ok but my Product Code change from "COM" to KOR".
PDA: I9100UHKH3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100COMKH1
Build Info: Thu Aug 25 11:42:14 KST 2011
ROOTED: YES I9100XXKH3
Android Version: 2.3.4
Then I Restore in Recovery Mode a original firmware's full Backup I made before flash (Product Code return to COM), thinking Kies recognize it as original upgradable but don't.
Now I need flashing with the original firmware (Colombia Comcel "COM")
Thanks for your help...

Here you can find the links, but some of them are dead. You need to ask Intratech to post new link for yours.
If you're after the original firmware that came with your phone, you're probably out of luck. However, you can get the latest firmware available for your phone/carrier/country using an app called Checkfus. Search for it on here.

Their is no update for your phone is why .
CPW have not updated go to a CPW service centre and ask .
UPDATE PATH samsung build firmware pass it to phone provider who decide to pass it on or not . Countries are different and do not always have the same updates .

Am I able to change the software/firmware from Vodafone to the Telstra one located on Sammobile. Im unable to post outside links but heres a copy of whats available on sammobile.
Firmwares for GT-I9300T - All (10 latest)

Australia (Telstra) 2012 May 4.0.4 I9300TDUALE6 I9300TTELALE6
I got no idea how all this rooting stuff works. Im trying to learn but I can get my head around it. So sorry if any of my questions seem stupid. Thanks for all your help in advance.
No need rooting to flash.
And yes you can flash Telstra firmware on Voda model, they are the same hardwares.
You need Odin 3.04 and need samsung usb driver or if you already have it working with Kies, then no worries about driver.
Here I copied the general instruction from the UK thread:
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Launch Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Thanks mate. Am downloading the firmware now. Its gonna take 2 hours to download.
Am I meant to change any of the options in Odin3?
Thanks again.
Now that I have flashed my galaxy s3 successfully.
I keep getting the message "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"
Does anyone know what this is or can direct me into the right place? Ive done a factory reset as another thread recommended but didnt work.
Thanks
