Hi All
I rooted my handset but then decided there isnt much out there at the moment for me in terms of custom ROMS so i restored a stock rom. I am now seeing a message "This version of the device cannot be updated" in Kies. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? Im running the latest Kies
Thanks
Kies updates product /firmware codes that match whats on the server . Requires your phone provider to have uploaded newer firmware than you have .
If you put a Samsung rom on the phone = no matching product/firmware codes .
Your Kies upgrade path is now closed ..

How so? this is now the third time I've seen you post this. Surely this only applies if you have flashed a custom rom. not stock.I flashed mine to KE1 via odin, but updated to KE2 through Kies. So what am I missing? Are you talking about the 'missing DLL' error? I did have that on my desktop, but kies worked fine on my laptop.
What is the easiest way to get back on track with Kies? Would flashing an older official firmware work?

you need to follow the debrand guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
basically you need to set the CSC to XEU in order to update via KIES

Third time more like three hundred .
Kies updates branded firmware via product codes hardware id and firmware id .
Hundreds if not tens of thousand who have installed Samsung so called stock firmware through Odin have received the no upgrade message from Kies .
Thats why Spoof FW was invented otherwise no need for it .
Its also why Kies has never given me an upgrade path since flashing stock rom via Odin .
Now i know one or two on SGS have managed to upgrade after stock rom but most are reporting no upgrade ( well you anyway ) .
Personally if some one is going to do something that may affect their warranty or change the update path or whatever i would rather tell them than not .
Stock rom Ke2 and i will test yet again via Kies when KE3 is out .
SGS2 bought sold SGS 1 running stock firmware No repeat no upgrade path through Kies until flashed original O2 rom and thats like two weeks ago .

Only Updated via Kies
Hi,
Only had my phone a week and have not done anything custom with it, it has updated twice through Kies in 1 week per request from Kies itself, today I go into Kies and it also says :
"This Version of the Device cannot be Updated"
Current Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
Why has Kies had no problem two times in the last week and is now saying this, has something gone wrong in the phone ?
Yesteray it just said the Latest Firmware was Installed ?
JudgeyK said:

It cannot be updated to a firmware that does not yet exist .
You have latest firmware therefore it cannot be upgraded .

I get this message to now on KE2 (O2 firmware) before I upgraded the message used to always Current and Latest firmware. I def think its a Kies problem.
Cheers Guy's
Was just yesterday it said ;
Latest Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
Current Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
and today the Latest Firmware Version is replaced with that error message, so assumed that there must be another update out but now the phone will not update it ?

It's giving that message because the firmware (KE2) has been removed. Your phone has a version of FW higher than Kies knows about hence it tells you it cannot be updated, wouldn't make sense otherwise. Once Samsung release a new FW I expect it to return to normal.

Just downgraded to I9100XWKE1_I9100XXKDJ_I9100XEUKD1 using ODIN and Kies now says this is the "current version". Looks like this is the way back to kies updates if anyone wants this.
All sorted again, today KIES is reporting ;
PDA:KE7: PHONE:KE4: CSC:KD1 (XEU)
a big jump from ;
PDA:KE2: PHONE:KDJ: CSC:KD1 (XEU)
This version of device canot be updated
Current firmware version : PDA:KD9 / PHONE:KD9 / CSC:KD9 (XEO)
:/ I bought phone before 2 days wtf is that ?
I have the same no update possible - its stock untouched.
My details are: PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KD5 / CSC:KD3 (DRE)
May be its because they pulled all updates until the new one is out (hope so)?
Hello guys
PauloJ5 can you send me your KE1/KD5/kd3 firmware?? pls
That's a problem™ of Kies. Change the Product Code to a valid one (see your box for that) from all X in Registry Editor. It worked for me.

KE2 is O2 UK latest firmware .
Kies updates when the network has passed an update and loaded it to Kies .
Thats an if and when not a must because its released by Samsung .
If is if they decide they want to when is whenever .

Have a look at the xda bookmarks link in my sig. In there you can find both official and official branded firmwares. Instructions on how to install are in the 1st post of those threads.
Dear Members'
Sorry for the question but what you mean by non ginger bread firmware on galaxy? The firmwares that i am flashing on it via odin are original stock firmwares downlaoded from samfirmware.... and the latest versions so they are gingerbread.As they are original stock they should be accepted by kies and must let kies to check for new firmwares and install if there is a new one.
Could you please enlight me.
The phone was original and boxed as i bought it , and as i sad it was able to update via kies until i flashed it with new ones from smafirmware.

Kies cannot update a phones firmware for a number of reasons in your case KH3 cannot be updated until ||Kies has a later firmware on its server .
jje
Dear Jjegan;
Thank you very much for the answer , but its seems to be like my explanation was incomplete and not detailed.Kies not mentions that there no update for the current version , it just says sometimes this device can not be updated and sometimes just shows the pda\modem\ version and no more info.
Thanks for help
you would basically need to use a older firmware that completely wipes your phone and return to at least 2.3.3. which kies will recognize and use a official branded firmware.
Kies has not sent out an official upgrade to certain countires that will recognize 2.3.4. It is just starting its roll out, I believe by the end of the year kies will recognize 2.3.4.
Dear CosmicBlue
Thanks for contribution but my previous firmware was 2.3.3 which was also downloaded from samfirmware.com and flashed trough odin , and still was giving an error indicating this device cannot updated via kies , and sometimes was showing the version of the csc modem pda and nothing else , so as you explained normaly in 2.3.3 in must say already latest version ....
I need a version where kies finds the phone and says already latest version and update if finds new release , normally i like to flash via odin but after all flashing all data is wiped and tired to configure eveything again ,and dont want to use backup.
Kind Regards.
you would need to go back to an older version of the firmware say an xkf1 and let kies upgrade it to the latest version which i believe officially is xkg5.
Thank you very much CosmicBlue , could you please guide me from where i shall download the official rom samfirmware.com maybe?
Kind Regards.

Hi,
As far as updates from odin go if you update with a Intratech non-wipe higher version of stock ROM (say XXKH3) from a lower version stock ROM (say XXKF3/G5) the data remains intact. I'm running the non-wipe version but did it when I updated from KF3 to KG5 as i had the same misconception. Somewhere in the forum it is discussed if you revert back to an older version of a ROM then you need to factory reset / wipe the data down.
Cheers
Dear Digifort;
Thanks for the contribution , as you mentioned i was running a full Rom also that wipes all the data , i was not aware that there is a non-wipe version , so now i will download a stock Rom from samfirmware a old one , flash with Odin and connect to kies after will look if it will update to current version.
Kind Regards.

First you stop double posting.
Second, you just turn off the phone, hold the power button till the phone shuts down. After that, you hold the HOME + VOLUME UP + POWER button till the Samsung Logo pops up, then release the POWER button.
When you see the Samsung 3e Recovery screen (TEXT IS BLUE), just select WIPE DATA, RESET PHONE, whatever it is called. Then reboot. You are good to go.

Hi There,
I purchased my SGS2 outright from O2 UK and I'm on a pay monthly SIM-only plan with O2. The phone came loaded with the stock O2 UK firmware and whenever I connected it to Kies it would recognize the firmware and say that the current firmware is up to date, which was fine. Since then I have played around with rooting my phone, installing different mods and installing newer stock samsung firmwares to try out Android version 2.3.4. etc.
After all this playing around I wanted to be sure that I could get my phone back to the standard O2 UK branded configuration in case I ever needed to send it in under warranty for repair. I hunted around on the internet and found a website with a link to a copy of the official O2 UK branded firmware which was a tarball called: I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR. Using odin I flashed my phone with this firmware and now my phone starts up with the O2 logo and everything seems back to normal, except when I connect it to Kies. I know for a fact that the O2 firmware I'm now on has been superseded by newer releases from O2, but when I connect to Kies, it says:
"Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: I9100XWKDD/I9100O2UKD1/I9100XXKDH/I9100XWKDD"
I'm guessing that there is something else on my phone that I need to install/flash/change for Kies to start recognizing it as "Official". Does anyone know what this might be? What is it that Kies looks for on your phone to work out if it supports upgrading it or not? I am running the latest version of Kies.
I have attached a screenshot from my kies to show you what I'm talking about and a screenshot from my phone to show you software/firmware versions it is running.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

I have got two recommendations for you:
1. Have a look at http://fus.nanzen.se/ to get Check Fus Downloader and check what the latest official firmware for your phone and region is.
2. Got to Intratech's Carrier Branded Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 to get the carrier branded firmware you want/need to flash using Odin.
If you do not need a carrier branded firmware (Kies does not need a branded ROM on your phone), you can also check Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 to get the latest official and un-branded firmware flashable via Odin.
See second post of his thread.
If you flash a stock ROM for your region, KIES should recognize it again.
Good luck !

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your recommendations. I downloaded Check Fus Downloader which I was then able to use to download the latest O2 UK firmware, which, as it turns out, was only released yesterday and uses android 2.3.5. I then used odin to flash the new firmware and now when I connect to Kies it says I have the latest firmware installed.

I have the same issue, when i upgraded the Stock firmware. When connect to Kies, message popup is "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: ...XXKH2"
I have reset to factory format my SG2 9100 (watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzDb6m7sQ7A&feature=related). After that when i connect it showing current and latest firmware..
I did exactly the same as the OP. I just flashed back to the latest carrier firmware and Kies still does not recognize it but I don't really care.
My question is: if I send it to warranty, is there any way they can see I have previously installed other official firmwares from Intratech's thread? I have never rooted it, only installed official firmwares.
Thanks.

Samsung honour official firmware for warranty does not matter if you have reflashed as long as the firmware is stock and custom rom counter is zero .

If you flashed the firmware using Odin, will you stay rooted after that? Or you will have to root it again? Sorry, I'm new to the Android world.

Depends on what firmware. Some custom firmwares come rooted. Official stock firmwares do not.
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:
PDA: I9100BULPC
PHONE: I9100BULP6
CSC: I9100SFRLP7
Any idea ? If the CSC is not correct, what is the correct one and how to change it ?
Thanks for your help.
Hey guys samsung stated ages ago that all UK unlocked phones can receive the ICS 4.0.3 update through Kies, I seem to be the only one who still cannot update through kies message still says your device cannot update through kies, I have rung samsung support and gave them all my detials numbers firmware numbers eventually they told me that it was my computers fault and that my phone should update normally through kies even though i have told them i have tried on 3 different computers, so im now asking you guys as a last resort to help, before you guys ask i do have the latest version of kies my phone is NOT rooted has stock firmware never been flashed with a third party here is my phones details,
PDA: I9100XWKH1

Chris i think you missunderstood my problem, i do not want to install a custom rom or root my phone i was asking here why my phone cant update through kies when my Code XEU is listed as Official ICS Update,
Ignore his root your phone post Updates do not require root as it would void warranty .
Kies updates your firmware when the phone provider has updated it .
You can use CHECKFUS to check on the server and download directly .
Alternative is to flash stock Samsung roms from XDA posted in General and also in stock rom thread .

Try your service provider...
Hi,
I´m in Spain and using Orange. The last time I was able to upgrade my stock ROM, the change came from Orange because they customize it (basically to lock you into using their system). If you choose to stay with a stock ROM, then your service provider may have to supply it and they are a little bit slower than Samsung because they have to add their changes. They usually add quite a bit of "Bloatware" to justify their modifications.
So I rooted my phone and am now using custom ROMs - Resurrection Remix 1.1 and am really glad to be rid of the Orange system. I also unlocked my phone so that I could use SIMs from other countries. Hopefully this will prove helpful....
Hi, quijote1, my phone is unlocked and unbranded so i am not tied with any network in the uk or have any bloatware as far as i know it is a standard rom,
Hey ZacQ8, As i previously stated in my OP my CSC is XEU, witch has been rolled out by samsung through kies that's why i have made this post in the first place.
could my problem be my firmware version? and is flashing with odin my only way now of getting ICS for my phone?
hey guys any idea';s?

You are making an assumption that ICS is available for your actual phone . That may be wrong .
You can use CHECKFUS to actually see if the ICS for your phone is on the Kies server .
Alternatives take the phone to the vendor/Samsung service for an update .
Join XDA Developers forum and flash stock Samsung roms on the day they are released .
You have no other routes except to ask Samsung /your phones vendor why you have no update .

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
may i know malaysian s2g can update to ics??
still confused myself as XEU is released so ICS should be avalible through my phone and i dont wanna flash samsung roms myself just incase i brick/invalid my warrenty, i guess the only way is to take it to a samsung repair shop but dosent that mean i have to pay for the update when others get it for free?, just frustrating, is there anyone here who can sugest the correct ICS rom for the Code XEU?
update: ive found my product code and there is a ICS firmware on checkfus do i download it is it the right one? and if so why dosent kies see my phone as a possible update?

UP to you your choice .
it is it the right one?
Who knows you put the codes in correct then presume so if not its easy to tell once flashed .
and if so why dosent kies see my phone as a possible update?
You need a clairvoyant or try asking Samsung .
Personally in your shoes i would stick with what you have and not bother updating .
Because the next post you make is probably how do i restore to GB .

really? is ICS that bad?
I have a Bell Samsung SGS II GT-I9100M that I sim unlocked. (it's not rooted but permanently sim unlocked)
When I first got this phone I tried to install an update through Kies and it didn't work. Anyways I had this phone on the side ever since then and I barely use it (yea sad I know).
Currently the phone is running Android 2.3.3, Baseband I9100MUGKG2, Build number GINGERBREAD.UGKG2 and under KIES it says I have the the latest firmware version which is PDA:KG2 / PHONE:KG2 / CSC:KG2 (BMC)
Anyways I am sure there is a new update but no matter what I do I can't install it.
I tried right-clicking on my device in KIES and the Firmware upgrade option is greyed out
I tried under tools and pressing on Firmware upgrade and initialization and it says
'GT-I9100M' does not support initializing.
What do I do? I would like to update to the latest firmware. I am pretty good with android although I am not familiar with Samsung Devices.
Please help, thank you.
try getting a stock rom for your region through fusdownloader
then reboot into download mode, start odin 1.85 add the downloaded rom to pda (this step actually is explained a lot in this forum so look it up if you are not entirely sure what to do ;P )
then flash the new firmware, should work just fine
cheers

The Bell ICS update isn't rolling out until tomorrow, according to MobileSyrup... here's a copy of the leaked bell memo from their site..
Since you have an unlocked sim device which belongs to other network service provider so kies will not update it as you have some other sim..so the best method is choose the stock rom as per you region from www.sammobile.com and then flash it through odin.

He has the proper bell firmware. The actual software update isn't being released until tomorrow, hence the reason Kies can't find the update.
Hi Guys,
I'm a little bit confused i cannot get any updates via Kies or using OTA , i bought my SGS II from Kuwait and currently i'm in Egypt , i changed the CSC to Egypt once to solve this problem but it's the same my firmware info is I9100JPKJ2/I9100JPKJ1/I9100XXKI4/I9100JPKJ2 (xxx)
Any advice?
Thanks
I am not sure if Android 4.x is already out for the "M" version.
