Kies firmware upgrade Question - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get this message from my Kies "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies".
Current Firmware version : I9100ZSKI3/I9100ZSKI3/I9100XXI3/I9100ZSKI3
What should I do to get this SGS2 working with Kies auto upgrade firmware ?
My SGS2 product code : GT-I9100LKAKOR
thanks

Did you flash a modem from another firmware, is your rom an offical one?
You have two option download firmware from link in forum and flash using odin.
Flash correct modem for current firmware and try updating via kies..

This firmware is package of PDA, modem, csc in 3 files.

Honestly you can forget upgrading through kies and use Odin or mobile Odin.
There is an app called checkfus which will tell you if there is an upgrade for your carrier in your region.
Then from intratechs thread you can download whatever official firmware you want and flash using Odin or even better mobile Odin which will root the firmware at the same time as you flash it.
I know I haven't answered your question but Odin/mobile Odin in my opinion are better options.

As ace of Clubs said you can wait for Kies to upgrade whenever and its not a guarantee that you get updates even on original firmware and once you mess with firmware its pot luck as to Kies updating .

One what's download mode got to do with Kies ??? Kies does not use download mode .
Either let Kies update or use Odin not both at once .
Update via Odin and root read .

Well Kies does reboot the phone to download mode before it updates the firmware but I think this is where it seems to be failing for most people, after getting to download mode it does nada and the update fails.
Just use Odin to update.

As per the post .
Flash KE2 full Root flash KE2 kernel only .
Risk about 99% safe and about 99.99% recoverable from a problem anyway on SGS1/2
PS i thought you meant 3 button download before with Kies

Hello folks.
I have Samsung Galaxy S3, and I'm on I9300XXBLG8 BTU, and the build is 26 July 2012, and I want to Update to the latest(the LH1).
I start the update on Kies, it reaches 3% and say operation timed out.
Any solutions?
Root and flash it via cwm recovery

Get the LH1 firmware from XDA or Sammobile or via Checkfus and flash via Odin .
Root and flash it via cwm recovery Will not download firmware nor can you flash full firmware via CWM ..
But as been posted hundreds of times LH1 was just a modem update for the UK so you can flash that modem from the modem threads via Odin or CWM .

A big big guess is that its on the XDA SGS3 forum .
An even bigger guess is that its linked in the sticky .

Download and install your update manualy. See item 2 and 3 in my signature on where to get it and how to do it. Uninstall Kies ( it`s a piece of crap ) exept the drivers.
It is still possible update via kies?

Yes if you want, but there is no need anymore to use Kies, if there is a Kies update it will also be available on Sammobile to download and install
I second this "Kies SUCKS"
.....have not used it since my Cappy days.

One Kies will only update the product and codes shown if their is an actual update for them . Wrong codes = no update . Correct codes but no update for them = firmware not updated by a vendor .
Do you have any proof that LH1 is available for your phone and whatever codes its showing Kies .
LH1 can be downloaded via CHECKFUS if its available for your phone .
More information on Kies try a Kies or Samsung forum .

Sorry mate, I am newbie. What do you mean of correct product code?
I have checked the firmware which i flashed is matched with my country original firmware.
The most updated firmware in my country is LH3, I flash leak rom(LI2) before, and now I have flashed back to LG3(my country previous firmware), but kies said my LG3 is most updated rom and it means KIES does not show latest firmware. It should be one more update. I know I can flash updated firmware via odin3. I want to solve it, because 4.1.1 stock rom will be available soon.

[Q] Does I9305 need to be rooted before flashing official firmware of another region

Does i9305 need to be rooted before flashing official firmware of another region using Odin? I've been searching for answer for a while but still can't find a definite answer. In my case, I want to flash Hong Kong official firmware onto i9305 bought from T-Mobile UK. Thanks
No, you don't need to be rooted to use Odin
FYI Odin is a leaked Samsung firmware flash tool.
Just make sure you are flashing a compatible firmware designed for your model
Thanks, Will Odin (flashing official firmware of different compatible region) trigger flash count? I don't want to lose my warrenty.

I am not sure if the rom you use is using the latest base.
If that is the case, the BTU/XEU has not updated yet... you can use XEF which is the French version. That has latest base and should flash.

Thank you will try
Also you don't reported which Odin version you was using. you need Odin 3.13.1 to flash Oreo firmware.
And you can't downgrade the bootloader. So you need to flash a stock Rom with same or newer bootloader like already installed.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

I used the latest odin and now just trying to find the latest firmware , I'm downloading XEF the French firmware that the previous comment mentioned
I would use the stock firmware with the manufacturer CSC of the device.
And there is a log window in Odin that shows logs of the flash process. There showing often useful informations. So next time make a screenshot with this logs and post it here
