Hey!
You not using the RIGHT STOCK FROYO files for you mobile provider. Download them from SAMFIRMWARE. And use them, when you phone was come to the store(example: if you phone was come to store in february, then use the january RELEASE files). I hope you get my point!
EDIT: Dose you RESET FACTORY SETTINGS AND CLEAN CACHE, before flashing. Its VERY IMPORTANT!!!
CHEERS!

How can I see when my phone has come to the store?
I gonna try it again when I reset it to factory settings, but how I gonna clean the cache?
I hope it will work to update it with Kies!
Thnx for the help guys!

Hey!
Factory settings and cach you can do them, from RECOVERY MENU(if you phone SHUT DOWNED, then hold down together POWER+MENU buttons, untill phone screen flashed once and then is coming Galaxy Ace... in screen, then you can release the POWER+MENU buttons). Now you in RECOVERY menu. There you see RESTART, RESET FACTORY SETTINGS and so on. To move down in menu, use VOLUME DOWN. To pick it, use menu button.
EDIT: To know, when you phone comes to sell, ask from store, where you buy it.
EDIT again(LOL): INDEED FOR THANKING, just push the THANKS button!
CHEERS!

I didn't buy it from the store, it was send by my provider.
Oke than i gonna clear the cache now en factory reset it, after that i gonna flash the new FW on it. I can try al the FW one by one =P
(i gonna push the tanks button=P)

Turn off the device, press: power/volume up/menu at the same time. Now in 3rd recovery do wipe data factory reset and wipe cache and reboot. It should be good now

Are you trying to use Odin to get back to stock? If so, you can't have Kies running at the same time. You've got to kill the Kies process in order to use Odin.
im not using both at the same time:S but ill do a proper check^^

It's normal that Kies says your phone can't be update. The real solution to getting back to stock is NOT Kies... It's Odin.
If you have Odin installed, you can simply download the stock ROM of your choice and use Odin to select it via PDA, NO REPARTITION, NO PIT (or you'll brick your phone!) and just flash and reboot. Do a factory reset via the dialer by entering *2767*3855# when you get rebooted, and everything should be fine.
Kies might fail to recognize when updates are available for your phone. It will say that your phone cannot be updated. It lies, in a sense, because it can be updated, but just not through Kies, which is what it actually means when it says this. The most current ROM versions usually drop here weeks before they show up in Kies, so don't trust what it says.
When I got my phone about 3 days ago, it came with a carrier specific ROM based on KH2, and Kies told me the same thing. I flashed to KH3 via Odin, which removed all the junk that the carrier installed and I didn't want.

ICS update on S2 without network

Hi Guys,
I recently updated my GS2 to ICS via Odin as my network( Vodafone Ireland) had not released it yet. Now I have a constant notification to register for software updates. Anytime ive tried doing so it fails. I had ignored it think that it will fix itself once my network releases the upgrade.
However, ive just found out that Vodafone Ireland launched ICS a few days ago. Any idea what steps i need to take?

Follow his instructions to the letter
ok there are 2 things going on........
1: either you mean the icons that show up after you flash ics stock rom
2: or you want to update officially by your carrier / OTA update.
if its option 1 just click the samsung thing and than skip it will go away, other icon you have to signin and it will check for ota update and say u have latest blaa blaa.
needless to say u need tobe online for both
Hi,
Again I'm not sure if people understand so I'm obviously not being clear. I have an unrooted SGS2 which I updated to ICS before my carrier launched it offically. I now have a constant notification to register my device update but whenever I try, I get the error "Software Update. Processing failed".
I have attached a scrnshot of the notification.
Any help is appreciated.

That's for OTA software updates. Now that you've already flashed via Odin (and probably not a firmware that matches your actual CSC) this probably won't work anymore, which is why it fails to process.
You can safely ignore it, or if you want to get rid of it, you can root and freeze the Software Update application with Titanium Backup. (there are probably other ways to get rid of it as well)

Use CheckFUS to figure out what the actual firmware is for your region, download that, and flash via Odin.

Galaxy s2 Google services Framework Problem

Hi all! This is my first post on XDA developers forums. Recently i have rooted my android device (2.3.5) then i replaced a file in the system folder which can be found with root explorer. I think the file started with framework, the reason why i wanted to replace it with a new one, was because the new one was a circular battery file. But that seemed to fail and bricked my phone. After fixing the brick, with a different firmware which was also 2.3.5 . I constantly keep getting an error saying com.google.process.gapps and the button at the bottom says force close. Another problem was if i had my wifi on and i was connected to a wireless network, it would always say Google Services Framework has crashed or something. And i would have to force close it. It really gets annoying!!!! And when i open my phone i get something that says O2, it use to be Vodafone. Please help me! Many Thanks.

Reflash the rom, factory reset.
Will that fix the o2 screen and make it into vodafone
If you flash a Vodafone branded stock rom it will, yes. It says O2 because you obviously flashed an O2 stock rom. Get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google), download the latest O2 firmware, flash following instructions here.

Do i reflash the rom first then factory reset?
Pretty sure that's what I said in my first post 8-| Flash the rom in the first instance, if the problem persists (which it probably shouldn't), do a factory reset. And stay out of system folders ;-)

[Q] How bad is my Brick

Hi All.
So, i was trying to change my csc today, and screwed the pooch royally. I knew that was happening when i went to flash it on mobile odin, and i saw in the litttle white text: Kernel clearing, flashing... And I didnt have a kernel selected....
ANYWAY, now i have a nice paperweight, made by samsung. Is this a soft brick that I can fix using this link?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458&highlight=brick
Or is it something more sinister? Basically, do I need to start looking for a new phone? Is it possible to fix it?
Can you still get into download mode? If you can, flash stock kernel in download mode using ODIN. If it still cannot boot after kernel flash, you will need to flash the stock firmware again.

Regarding the firmware you installed, there are something you need to read and understand the risk of using it.
Check this and this. Meanwhile before you do anything, DO NOT wipe data/factory reset your phone.
I would suggest you to install other firmware that are considered safe, as soon as possible. Avoid using the recovery mode.

Yes, after a successful flash, let it boot up completely, backup everything in your phone (contacts, sms, calendar, etc). Make sure you are already using a safe kernel (4.0.3 for example), power down your phone, press and hold Vol Up + Home + Power button together to boot into recovery mode, do a factory reset, then reboot normally. Now it should fix the random shut down.
Edit: You will lose all your apps, contacts, sms, but not musics, photo & stuff inside internal storage if you do a factory reset, so make sure you backup before proceeding.
Take care
It worked! Thanks!
Now I have a different problem, it seems. Whenever people text me, the message is blank. Either I have weird friends, or something else is going on. Any ideas?

[Q] Help pleaseee used odin by accident, cant figure out what to do

Hi,
Me and my partner both got s3's recently his on contract mine on like buy as you view. Mine received the 4.1.1 update through the phone and after waiting a few weeks and still nothing on his we decided to update it via computer. I used odin because i saw on a post that thats what you were supposed to use and flashed it to 4.1.1. I then realised i had put the wrong version on (German one i think) and it was causing errors so we flashed again to 4.1.1 the UK version.
He is now on:
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version I9300XXDLID
I do not know if that's correct but everything seems a ok.
However since then my phone received the 4.1.2 update and we want the same update on his phone. It does not find it on the phone. Since then i learned KIES is the samsung software not odin. No updates can be found via KIES cos the software isn't supported. I want to be able to use KIES with his phone again, can i reverse the odin update anyway?? I rang samsung and he told me it will be like that forever now and i will never be able to use KIES?
Can anyone assist me. I really want ot be able to update from KIES again instead of using odin.
Sorry if i sound like a noob im only good with apple technology haha!! :laugh:
(edit)
P.S. My software is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
we are both on Orange if thats any help? His came on Ice Cream Sandwich though and mine came on 4.1.1
If the phone isnt locked on orange just download 4.1.2 from sammobile and instal via odin as u did beffore.

Odin is official samsung. You can use Kies if you use OFW. If your current OFW doesn't support Kies, just download other from samfirmware.com.

i have no idea what OFW stands for lol. Samsung told me on the phone i should not have used odin as it will void warranty. Im trying to revert the update so that i can use kies again cos it will not work at all now, and get the updates directly on the phone. Is this even possible?

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to
Voila, stock as used to.

I've been wondering, does this method wipe user data or not?
Just curious.

im not bothered about loosing my user data but the option isnt there for me, it says phones that need this are listed below and the phone does not show. Not even if i put it in recovery mode. Any assistance would be great i am however just going to download some 4.1.2's today to try and fix it. I did notice however that when in download mode at the bottom it said something about multi CSC should it say this? LOL i wish i was more technologically savvy but i am literally only good at apple software. Wish id just waited Someone said to do one with BTU on the end and it should correct the CSC code? any idea if this is right?
I should however imagine it would delete all user data, people on other posts have said it was lost

Ok if u want the 4.1.2 update and u want to be able to use OTA i advise u to do flash the latest 4.1.2 room from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 there is even a guide there how to flash it , if your device shows modified status after the flash just reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen , then u will see the recovery options, do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot and u should now be able to receive OTA updates .
I am also using the same room and all is working ok OTA shows no new updates but i think when the updates hits i will be able to get it via OTA , kies is not working but i think u dont need to worry about it because u can always flash via Odin .
Here is a guide how to flash a room with working Kies and OTA
First u need to root your device u can do this by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Edit: When u finish rooting u should use this app its called triangle away http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 and use it to reset the counter .
When u are done with triangle away then download this on your phone it available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Run it and change your CSC to BTU this will factory reset your phone after u done that u should flash the UK room from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
When u finish that u should boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset , you should now be able to use Kies .
I am not sure this will work 100% but it should , if u could remember what was the CSC and room before you flashed the devices with odin you could flash that firmware.
Tell me if it worked.
