How do i get Kies to update..... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Can Any One Help Me?
I had a different problem with updating through KIES, but all the same, Odin flashing is the best way to go.
Have you all got the latest version of Kies? I believe there was a sizeable update recently. I can't really advise more than that as I get updates from here and use Odin.

Ver.2.0.1.11053_99
Same problem, that I am facing. Latest kies as well. Seems like kies is the worst software ever designed in the history of mankind.
Any simpler way to update the phone. Does ODIN require root?

Yes Kies is 100% Worst ..If you use ODIN Once you cant use Kies (Official Firmware Updater) till you get back to Official Firmware again (The One you got with Mobile)
Any One Know How to Fix it?

Phone repaired, did they root my phone?

I posted this question in another thread, though I never got a direct answer and didn't want to hijack the thread either.
A while back I had my phone repaired. I've never attempted to update my phone in all this time. I recently installed Kies and saw the following information:
PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
It says "This version of the device cannot be updated".
When I tried the "software update" via the phone, which then said a new firmware would have to be installed and if I'd like to download. I selected Yes and then the phone reboots. When it came back on it said that the update had failed and to try connect and do it through KIES. So I think there's an update available yet I can't do anything about it?
My phone details are:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXKE4
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE1-CL181974
[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Does the information from the Kernal Version indicate that they rooted my phone when they repaired it? If so, will there be a way of changing it back?
Thanks.
Does hboot say s-off or s-on?

no they will not root your phone as you are using kies to get official updates.
use odin and flash either generic roms which you will have to root yourself.
custom roms usually are rooted by the developer.

NO all its says is [email protected] which is part of the signature and nothing to do with rooting a phone ..
If Kies says no update for your phone then its usually correct .Phone provider has not updated firmware .

I never used Kies until now and the phone wasn't updated before sending it back to be repaired. I don't really have the intention of rooting the phone myself. Was just wondering why I can't update the firmware.

Kies says there's no update, however I'm asked to use Kies after a failed attempt to use the software update function of the phone. It says that there's a new firmware version available. I downloaded it and it asks to reboot my phone. When it starts up again it says the update has failed and to use Kies. I don't understand why it would say there's a new firmware available and yet I can't update it?

Thanks for the replies.
If the phone isn't rooted by them, why won't the software update allow me to update the new firmware that it says is available? It fails and asks me to do it through Kies where it says that my version of the phone cannot be updated?

Dude... You keep asking the same question. Although I cannot say why your phone is telling you that you have an update available and it is failing and saying to use KIES, I can reiterate what JJE mentioned and that is that it sounds like your carrier has NOT released an actual update for your device.
I recommend that you call your cell phone carrier and ask them if and when an update WILL be available and start from there. If they say that there IS an upadte available then you can ask your question again but until you know for sure you are just going around in circles.
the csc you have does cuurently support updates has they have not been released for that region.
try changing the csc to a country that has updates.

Sorry about that. My mind does tend to run in circles.
My phone was bought from Dialaphone and it's unbranded.

When I try changing the csc all I get is the XEU sales code. There are no other options available. I reside in the UK, btw.

Cant update through Kies

Hey guys,
well, i have googled the problem and searched this forum for a solution and i came accross many i just want to know what is the updated solution for "Your Device does not support software updating via kies".
I have just installed "I9300XXBLG8". Everything is stock.
actually i heared that i better use "Check fus downloader " in order to check for an update, and that what did, but maybe there are small bug fixes which can be solved by updating though Kies.
So, is there a solution to this problem?
thanks guys

Well the first step is
the question is their a firmware update for your phone or are you just trying to update to something that is not on the server as LG8 is a very recent firmware .
second step as always can be that you no longer have the correct codes presented to Kies as you have flashed firmware .
CHECKFUS = a KIES download

im looking for any update, any new update which improves the device or fixes problems.
What do you mean by "correct codes"?

Kies is not something that gives you any update any time .
It supply's the updates your phone vendor has uploaded no more and no less.
Codes you are messing between KIES and stock via Odin make your mind up one route only .

[Q] Going back to stock

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 .

JB hasnt been released for UK afaik, so the message.

[Q] Q about i9300 update bought in another country

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.
