List will show latest firmware .
Kies will only update if the phone provider has updated for your phone not because other users have later version or their is a later stock rom or you have not followed the upgrade path .

What if the device is not belong to carrier? Its unbranded phone..

Hi,
Is Samsung KIES still usable after I update firmware using ODIN (and after I revert back to stock firmware). Thanks !
revert to stock rom and Kies
Dear cypherlwind,
Yes it is possible to use kies after reverting to a stock rom.
Keep in mind that it needs to be a official samsung stock rom.
See the following links to obtain a stock rom:

In order to update via kies the phone needs to have a stock combination of stock firmware, so a kernel, rom, csc and modem that shipped together, rather than mix and match.

Its buggy, unstable, and no really ready for non advanced users, more than one person has managed to brick there phone flashing it without reading first.
I would stay away.
Hello,
I know that there are probably a couple of threads on what i will ask now, but I have a couple of questions regarding the I9100P firmware.
First of all I installed a i9100 firmware(4.03) via ODIN.Does this mean I routed my phone? Kies now tells me that i can not update my phone because my device does not support update with kies.
How can I flash it back to my 2.3.4 firmware? Must I download the firmware from sammobile.com?
Best regards.

NOPE

More like you have not got the firmware for your phones codes and Kies sees no match . But then agian as ICS is not yet rolled out their may be no upgrade yet .
How can I flash it back to my 2.3.4 firmware? Must I download the firmware from sammobile.com?
Yes as per all the other identical posts and or CHECKFUS ..
But why install 4.03 delete it install 2.3.4 and still have no upgrade from KIES .

Thank you for the answer.
So how can i delete ICS 4.03 firmware if I want? By installing an 2.3.4 firmware or is there any method? I don't really understand the method though I read a couple of threads about it.

STOCK is SAMSUNG firmware .
If you want 3uk firmware then restore your original saved rom.
Not bothered to save it then CHECKFUS is probably your route to 3uk firmware .

If you as the owner don't know then nobody else will know .
Just guess at a version of 3uk firmware for your location .
Or ask on a 3uk forum what is your firmware .

KI8 is the newest Gingerbread Three ROM apart from the ICS build released today.
I don't have it to upload though, I only have I9100XWKE1 which is a very old build, But if you can't find KI8 Three stock anywhere I'll upload it somewhere for you.
[edit] Infact I have KI8 on my PC if you can't find it online let me know.
Personally though I'd just flash LP7 much better than LPQ that Three have released today & not as much bloatware!
Because I am a really nice person, Don't complain about speeds this was the first link that would let me upload over 300mb

Unzip first & then Flash with Odin3 PDA mode.

Hi guys, first post so be gentle!
After plenty of reading I decided to root my S3, which is a UK variant locked to the Three network. For a while I was running CWM with the Siyah kernel but stock ROM. After being unable to install any updates (OTA or Kies) for an unknown reason I decided to use Odin to install flash back to stock 4.0.4, which I thought was the right idea...
Now my phone shows that there are no updates available OTA, and Kies tell me that my phone doesn't support updating with Kies. I know JB is available on Three here in the UK, though I'm not that fussed, I just want my phone to have stock firmware and kernel and to be able to update if I want to! Would any kind and knowledgeable soul be able to help me out please?
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: I9300XXLE8
Kernel: 3.0.15-554452-user [email protected] #1
Build: IMM76D.I9300XXALE8
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong section!
Dont wait for official via OTA. You already rooted.. go to sammobile or search here for official roms. Download and flash via Odin.

Thanks guys. I probably should have mentioned that my concern is if I choose to sell the device on, the new owner won't be able to update OTA or via Kies, can this be fixed at all?

EDIT: The headline is supposed to say - 'Flashing a stock rom to a BRANDED phone'
Hey guys!
I've recently acquired a Galaxy S3 yet my carrier has decided to brand the phone (Three). I've been talking to them about getting them to debrand it but they will not do it for free, and they say that once debranded I won't be able to receive OTA.
My question now is: Will I, if I do it myself, be able to flash an unbranded stock rom located on the internet using ODIN and still receive OTA updates, or is there something preventing me from doing this?
Cheers
Mikkel
I had the same issue (orange),
Go to SamMobile download the latest unbranded btu (uk) version 4.1.1 and flash with odin.
As you flashing the official stock firmware you don't need to be rooted and your counter won't change.
You will then get the ota updates from Samsung and not your carrier or you can just keep flashing the latest versions as above.

But I suppose I have to find one that comes from my country, which is Denmark. The only one I can find on sammobile appears to be a branded version from Three.

Go to the Sammobile.com site then the firmwares link and select
Type - Smartphone
OS - Android
Model - this will be your phone for example GT i9300 - Galaxy S 3
Country - and from the drop down lost select Open Europe OXA
That is non branded European version 4.1.1, it should work fine for you.
Totally up to you this is just a suggestion to get rid of the branding from 3 which is the only version listed under Denmak itself in the country list
Use CHECKFUS to download any current firmware from Samsung and flash via Odin .

Thanks a bunch guys. This is great help!
Before I start flashing the rom is there anything I have to do? Do I have to backup/wipe/reset the phone or do I simply start download mode, connect it to my PC and flash the new rom using Odin?
