[Q] No 2.3.4 available on kies for me - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why can't I update firmware through Kies. Everytime I check it says "This is the latest firmware". It seems everyone else has had the option to update with kies for a while now, so why not me? Im on vodafone uk.
Current firmware:
Gingerbread 2.3.3
PDA:KG2
PHONE:KG1
CSC:KE2 (VOD)
Thanks

Garbage some have updated some phone providers have not updated and probably will skip 2.3.4 as 2.3.5 is rolling out .
for a while now, so why not me? Im on vodafone uk.
You need to ask Vodafone or take phone to Vodafone service centre see if they have an update .Vodaphone update the firmware and push it to Kies server .

Mostly but not always it all depends upon the phone supplier .
Thats why most XDA members go down the unofficial route and many are running KI3/8 2.3.5 .

Thanks JJEgan for your help.
As I got a vodafone branded sgs2 (locked with vodafone) would flashing XWKI8 or XXKI3 from Intratech's rom page be ok?
I read somewhere you should only flash unlocked phones.
I currently have my phone rooted with unsecure BUKG2 stock kernel, other than that its untouched from purchase.

"This version of the device cannot be updated"

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 ?

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.
Regards.

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 .

[Q] HELP for FIRMWARE ISSUE and official 2.3.4 update!

Hey guys,
I am very new to android and this forum as well
I bought my sgs2 outright from Optus Telechoice, and recently i upgraded its firmware via Kies.
This is the firmware information shown in Kies whenever the phone is connected with usb:
PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)
it says this is my current and the latest firmware.
*NEVER rooted my phone before, phone was shipped with KE7 if not mistaken.
Ok my question starts here, i've been reading forums for quite a while, and i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i really like to get the update but KIES said my current firmware is the latest.
I read this sentence from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
saying that:
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates
and i found the exact same firmware version as shown in my KIES:
Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++, which may restrict me from receiving the latest firmware.
As mentioned from the above, 'KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first.'
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
* I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
Can anyone please teach me how and what to do? appreciate that and thanks in advance to any who reply me.
*i am an adroid newbie pls bear with me!
Images shown in my sgs2 and KIES:
PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)
it says this is my current and the latest firmware.
CORRECT
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i
NO
i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
Because they have flashed a later version via ODIN of stock Samsung firmware that may be a leaked version .
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++,
No not if you updated via Kies you are not understanding the post .
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
The one you have on it is the latest for your device as installed by Kies .
I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
One Samsung path and wait for 2.3.4 to be rolled out by your network via Kies .
Or two unofficial method of updating firmware using stock Samsung firmware flashed via Odin.

Hi,
First of all thank you for the replies.
are you sure the official 2.3.4 hasn't come out via KIES?
I read some posts regarding the official release though.
Once again from my understanding, my kind of firmware (PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)) is actually released by Optus via KIES, it is actually more like the OPTUS (and australian phone carrier) version of this firmware, thats why there are few users compared to the majority.
So what u mean is even though others (non-optus user) might get the update BUT i have to wait for OPTUS itself to roll out the update via KIES, right?
Okay lets not talk about official 2.3.4.
AND one more thing, i would really like to remove the Optus bloatware by flashing STOCK firmware via Odin, but i have no idea which STOCK firmware i have to choose from. i'm aware that there are a lot of stock firmwares available from the link provided above, but which is the appropriate as well as the latest STOCK firmware for my unit.
Since my current firmware is PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS), obviously it is a Optus-based firmware, so which STOCK firmware do i have to choose from? what is the 'stock version' for my current firmware as listed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
i am really stuck here. Hope you understand my situation.
Thanks once again mate

[Q] newbie stock rom question

I've read the forums, but couldn't find an answer that I could understand, so I apologize in advance for my question.
I'm in the USA and purchased my SGS2 from overseas a few months ago. For now I would like to stay with a stock ROM, at least until there is a CM7 release.
My current info:
PDA: KF3
Phone : KE7
CSC: KD1 (XEU)
I plug the phone into Kies every once in a while, but I haven't gotten an update in quite some time. So, a couple question:
What region or company phone do I have? I'm guessing it is an unbranded UK phone.
Do I just keep waiting? I can read lots of confusing info about using Odin to load frankenstein roms.
I'm asking because the wifi on my phone does not seem to work well, and I've read that 2.3.4 roms have a fix.
Thanks in advance.

YES

Unofficial path your choice may void warranty .
I'm asking because the wifi on my phone does not seem to work well, and I've read that 2.3.4 roms have a fix.
No fix as no WiFi problem though 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 modems may well work better /
KH3 2.3.4 modem stronger WiFi signal for some .

Yes, UK version.
If you want to upgrade through Kies you wont have to wait long as it seems that new XEU version KI4 will be out soon.

Its now probable that no further 2.3.4 updates will be issued by providers .
They will get the 2.3.5 release soon and in time release the update to Kies .

S2 on Virgin Mobile UK - Which is latest ROM?

Helllo, i have an S2 from Virgin Mobile in the UK, i rooted it a while ago, but i have noticed that when a video has finished playing, the phone freezes and i have to press the middle button several times to bring it back to desktop. Even then, the video.apk is still frozen and i eventually get a message from the system asking to force close it.
The versions i have on the phone at the moment is:-
Androis version 2.3.4
Baseband Version I9100XXKI1
Kernal Version 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL575468
Build XWKI4
So my question is:- which is the latest Rom for this phone, and which bits do i actually need?
Chrs
Steve UK
Connect to KIES for latest updates .
You have KI4 so it is probably the latest .Virgin can tell you .
You can try factory reset back up data first .
jje
Oh ok, i was under the impression that once you had updated via Odin, Lies would no longer recognise the version.
I was also under the impression that there was a 2.3.5 over on the developers forum which appeared to be newer than 2.3.4?
Was i incorrect?
