So I got this phone from eBay, marked as new. Works great. But now I have acouple questions.
1) My firmware right now is XXKDH. Is there a firmware update for the phone through Kies? Everytime I connect it, on the status screen it leaves the "Current Firmware" field blank.
2) Upon activating the Samsung keypad, and turning on the XT9 function, I found the XT9 suggestions to be empty. Is there some way to fill in all the auto suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Ok. But everytime I connect my phone to Kies, it doesn't tell me there is new firmware.

I don't need to return the phone to the service center. It works fine, I just want to know why Kies is not showing any firmware updates for my device.

That could be it, as I am using the international version/UK version of this phone in the US on AT&T.
Here is what happens when I do plug in the phone to Kies. All drivers are properly installed too. The Firmware field remains blank, as if it can't find the firmware version.

my phone? it wont update it at all.... it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
I did update it ages ago with odin to XWKJ3
How can i get Kies to update it again?
Cheers
Then you use ODIN to update simple as that . You no longer have the correct codes for KIES server to match to an update .

i've got the same problem

Depends on what region your phone belongs to download and flash the latest ROM released for your region and you are good to go
You can get the boxed ROM and the latest through this website
http://fus.nanzen.se/
Use intratech's thread for flashing the stock boxed or latest ROM

Sounds like you will need the xeu rom then
My last one got stolen (long story), and annoyingly this new one won't let me change CSC even after flashing with Odin. When I go to the change CSC option, only one I'm given in the list is VOD. BTU and the others aren't even there to choose from.
Can anyone help me out?
On a side note, it also won't connect to Kies any more either...

I just downloaded the FW in the OP of this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
Did you try to change it with the secret code?
Wannam lite download page has the code, you put IMEI in with other stuff

Yea, tried that, still no luck. Anyway, I solved the problem now. I just downloaded the FW prior to the link in the OP above, and that had the BTU options. After that I just upgraded to the latest FW using Kies.
I need some help. I'm trying to go back to stock on my GS3. It is unbranded and I flashed this ROM: United Kingdom 2012 August 4.0.4 I9300XXBLG8 I9300OXABLG8
Whenever I connect to Kies it says that this device firmware is not upgradeable through Kies. Then I put this code in my dialer, *2767*4387264636# to check the product code and nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong here? FYI, this device was bought from someone who was given this device when they were sent to the olympics as a Samsung blogger.
Thanks for any help that y'all can provide.
I am a newbie to ..
But i think just download the stock rom for s3 on update.samsung.c*m or so ..
Find your regional ..
And download odin for window / mac
Just flash it ..
And wipe cache and factory reset
I think just those.. i do it once and succses .. lol

I thought so. I'm not really wanting to update to another firmware per se. The message in Kies is throwing me off. When I google the message I find most of the info says that the product code and rom do not match.

Two points really Kies may have no update and product codes may not match firmware on the server . Thats due to you changing them in part .
This is XDA and kies is not a product we use .

Yes, the firmware seems to be the last official update from samsung,
JB hasnt been released for UK afaik, so the message.

Thanks, I know that Kies is crap software but I was just trying to get everything completely stock since I'm thinking of selling it. Is there anyway to get the product code to match the firmware?

So I got the phone from uk - not tied to any carrier and I see uk got the jelly bean update but I have nothing.
Also a question: I rooted the phone but didnt install roms or anything, will that be a problem for updates or not? Also I am not from uk.

lool but i cant retur cuz not in the same country nw
but i heared that way is the solutio for upgrading the fake ones instead of sam. kies !
Use "FIrmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" of the newest version of Samsung KIES instead of odin.
Try finding the model number and use Google search see if their is any solution .
You can try flashing firmware from here but this is I9300 firmware and not fake I9300 firmware .
But as said its a fake XDA cannot help its not an I9300 .

I remember you kheles...
You are the one who posted about having only an internal memory of 512MB.....
Since your phone is a fake one, I think you won't be able to update your phone via odin....
If I am not wrong, odin is for genuine Samsung
