hi.
i've been trying since yesterday to upgrade to gingerbread with no luck.
Kies detects my phone and prompts me to upgrade. right when it's supposed to start the procedure, it loses connection with the phone then reconnects and prompts me again to upgrade. so i'm stuck in this loop.
i have the latest version, i tried to uninstall/re-install Kies several times, reboot the computer, hard reset the phone, unroot.. nothing worked.
can't use odin either. i downloaded the firmware S5830JPKP9 from samfirmware but there were olny 3 files included (APBOOT_S5830JPKP9, CODE_S5830JPKP9, GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-OJPKP3) and no MODEM file. someone already bricked his phone flashing it without the modem file.
so now im stuck!

Kies is one of the worst ways to upgrade your phone . Use ODIN .

Try flashing another 2.3.3 if you are planning to use the other 2.3.3 but without MODEM . That way it'll ensure greater safety when changing versions

Kies is the best tools to upgrade firmware, as it peform full backup and full restore during upgrade.
How much time you perform upgrade with ODNI, and install all you apps + data ? waste a lot times.....
kies is best suited for newbies like me, once i flashed my phone with odin without backing up my data it was like hell installing every thing back.... now a days i use Titanium back up pro or My back up pro before flashing my phone with odin,,,

i wouldnt want to end up with brick
well i tried it and it works but i'm really disappointed with this firmware.
wake up lag is worse than with froyo. some weird behavior with calls and with titanium backup..
i'm thinking of going back to froyo :'(
Even I spent a whole day over trying to upgrade with Kies. It threw up all kinds of weird errors, sometimes quit downloading saying it's corrupt, or just stop in the middle of installation and bricked my phone. Finally just ODIN'd the one-package from samfirmware. It works over DDKC1. No need for any other GB as base first.
To me , I'd rather use iTunes than Kies . It throws less errors .

Hi guy's im a total newbie i read and read for 1 week before even atempting to update via odin problem now is i think ive stuffed it!! kies dosnt recodnise it cant get menu at all and every time i try to upload the firmware i get fail at last hurdle the download trick still works!!so i can still download into it using odin problem is it comes up with fail!!! im sure its something simple im missing but cant point my finger to it. the only thing on screen when i switch on is picture of a phone with a yellow triangle in middle and a picture of a pc on other end!!!!help me please guys
First thing in any Odin flashing guide is to install Kies for the driver and they uninstall it completelly! Odin and Kies don't like each other and one can make the other fail.
ive removed kies but still get fail i found the cause of my problems i had to put kernel update into bootloader in odin did that and phone woke up again alls working good again id still like to load that new firmware tho where do i put the firware to upload into pda or phone in odin? any help and id be really greatfull?
You need to select the file as PDA option to flash it. Check any of the tutorials about using Odin if you're still having problems.

Hi guys
I am new here and i have, for me, a BIG proglem...
My boss gave me his phone, i9100, to update it on ICS 4.0.3. I updated phone through Odin, everything went ok, my boss was happy
Then, he noticed some minor bugs and he asked me to downgrade phone on GB 2.3.4
I used checkfus to download 2.3.4 for our contry and restored GB 2.3.4. Again, everything went ok.
Then, my smart boss, connects phone to KIES and KIES showed error that he, KIES, cannot recognize phone?!
Now my boss is freaking out because he thinks he lost warranty and he is blaming me about his "loss" of warranty.
When i entered, Volume UP+Home+Power, it shows "0" in counter and "samsung official"?
What seems to be a problem? How can i restore GB so phone can be recognized through KIES?

You have not reinstalled the original firmware and codes no longer match on Kies server .

No stock is still Samsung warranty .
Download your original firmware via CHECKFUS flash via Odin then connect to KIES .

Your boss sounds like a real dickhead.
It's probably a difference in region, hence Kies won't allow you to upgrade.
Samsung are very relaxed regarding user firmware upgrades. I had 10+ counts in firmware upgrade counts and Samsung still fixed my phone free of charge (faulty proxy sensor)
Just tell your boss to chill out.
Flash your country CSC file and choose your CSC:

He had that GB 2.3.4 before updating via Odin.
ps. sorry for my modest knowledge about my OWN problem, i know how to flash but thats it
Anyone?
Has he tried uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers, rebooting PC, reinstall Kies + drivers, reboot and then try connecting to Kies?

As shaq1907 said you need to flash the correct csc file. If I understanded correctly, the kies says "Kies can't update this phone" or something like that.

Kies update after Odin flashing
Just flash your phone into older firmware and update via OTA. After OTA update, Kies will support update for your firmware.
Here is how I did it.
1. Flash XWKL3 (2.3.3) by Odin
2. Update via OTA (Under About phone=>Software update) <- Still Gingerbread
3. Connect to PC and now it is supported by Kies.
4. Update to ICS using Kies.
If you encountered update failure in Step 2, don't worry and keep trying until it success.

When you say doesn't recognize you mean doesn't connect with the phone at all or it connects but doesn't show the name and stuff???
Kies stucks some times... There is no problem of the Rom it should found it... Try (if you haven't already) unplug the phone sometimes and try it again.. Mine stucks all the time.. It should be ok.. at some point
Tell me if anything changed..
Try all the other Kies wont connect to my phone posts for answers .

Kies works with custom ROMs? That's news to me. :|
If you want Kies to work (especially for using Kies to get new firmwares) you should probably go back to stock.
It's normal bud, checkRom does not come with the Kies MTP app. I had the same issue. If you want to update via kies. Then go back to stock ROM and Kernel

Ok but I thought it is more or less enhanced stock ROM not completely customized.

Maybe anybody figured out how to do that in other way?

Is your HTC phone an Android phone? Then on that phone, sync your contacts to your Google account. Then on your SGS2, do the same thing. Done.

You didn't stipulate that.
Then sync with an Exchange account if you have one. Or some other account. Or if you don't want to share your contacts with any account you have, use your SIM card.
Ok so what about apps like New PC Studio? Ive installed it and also there i have problems to find my phone, is it the same because of using stock customised ROM?

As u have no clue of how to flash firmware, u need to read a lot (not that much).I would take it back to the story and tell them kies failed upgrade.In the mean time read here on how to flash, why cos' it's fun and improves your phone by a mile
I've been reading a lot about flashing, but I don't understand one thing, if I flash a original rom through odin I void my guarantee? or not?
I'm trying the recover firmware through kies but it's not recognizing my phone. I tried to put the phone in download mode and it works, otherwise the recover message appears everytime I turn on the device. but Kies does't recognize it.

Original firmware is signed by Samsung so warranty is intact.
If youre rooted and a problem occurs.then use "triangle away" to reset flashcounter and flash a stock firmware with Odin.then off to the store with full warranty...
I didn't rooted my phone yet, I'm new to android, my first experience with Android was with my xperia x1 but was not stable so I moved again to wm. And then I changed to iOS and now I bought the sgs3. So I have the phone for about 1 month and now I'm still in the reading part. Then I will root.
My phone is an Italian one unlocked, and I have this firmware XXALF6, is this the last firmware? Because my problem started because I was trying to update, when I search for a new software on the phone I get this message to try with kies and when I tried, it got stuck and I don't know if this is the last firmware or not. I searched on sammobile and seems to be the last one.
Thank you for the info.

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.

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.
