Hello,
This being my first Samsung phone, I'm a bit in the unknown, as far as official software updates are concerned.
I know that Kies is the tool to use if you want to stay official, however, when I tried it on mine, I got an "this version of the device cannot be updated". I'm currently running a variant of XWKE2 (PDA: KE2, PHONE:KDJ, CSC: KD4 (VVT)), which I've have bought it from a carrier here (Bulgaria -> Eastern Europe), it doesn't appear to be excessively branded, or at least has no logos/apps that would indicate this. And it seems that XWKE7 is the current official release.
Now, my first question is, why am I getting this message. Assuming Samsung is providing different updates to different parts of the EU, shouldn't I at least be getting a "You are running the latest version"? Will I ever get an official update, and will I have to wait for all of them?
Now, I'm considering using Odin to move to XWKE7. But I'd also like to receive updates via Kies, and searching through this forum is giving me mixed results on whether using Odin breaks this. Some people say that once Odin is used, the path to Kies is closed. Since those are different conversations with different contexts, I'm not sure whether the same answer will apply in my case as well.

A very good post and some very good questions. I debranded my phone recently but since doing so I can't seem to update to KE7 in kies as I expected to. I wish I'd never bothered now as I've not really gained anything. I just want to update to KE7 to make the most of improved battery performance. Is there a way to do this via odin?
Just flash the XWKE7 ROM through Odin?
It doesn't really matter if you get official updates or not, within 1-2 days of an official ROM being released there is usually a repack of some sort posted here.
my 2c
But does that mean that if I flash the KE7 via Odin, I will never again be able to upgrade via Kies? Or will I be able to work with Kies again, if I find and flash my particular firmware (which isn't present in the list here, so I won't have it)
Then maybe root it with CF-Root, and do a nandroid backup of everything?
Don't know about Kies not working, it shouldn't matter I would think....

Micksta, if I want to flash the XWKE7 Rom through Odin do I have to be very particular which one I use? My phone was purchased online through a 3rd party company. Even so, it was locked and branded to Three. Since debranding it my firmware now shows as PDA:KDD / PHONE:KDH / CSC:KD1 (XEU) in Kies.
Kies wont now look for updates as a result so it appears I wasted my time.
Any info on where I can find the right XWKE7 rom for my SGSII would be gratefully received.

So what you're saying is that regardless of the region from where the phone was purchased, or to whom it was originally branded, if we use the XWKE7 update with the XEU CSC, Kies will still work afterwards, and I can get future updates from it?

No the updates from Kies depend upon the product code on your phone .
Kies finds that product code in firmware bank and updates if later.
All i can say is some claim to upgrade firmware of a flashed stock rom via Kies . I have never managed that in the last year of trying .Update with original product codes yes stock never .
Their is a relevant post in dev section .

Updating this with an answer to my question, in case anyone else is wondering.
After flashing a stock samsung fw with a different CSC (mine was VVT, I picked XEU), unless you do a factory reset, the CSC will not change.
At first, Kies displayed the same message, that it couldn't update the fw on this phone. I removed it's registry entries for my phone, and after that it said that the phone was up-to-date. That may not be necessary however, since on another computer which was also connected to my phone at some point, the Kies automatically recognized that the software was up-to-date.
All in all, Kies will recognize your phone for future updates through it, if you flash a stock samsung fw with Odin.

Hi Micksta,
I have problem rooting my SGS2 (PDA:KF3 / PHONE:KE7 / CSC:KF1 (DBT). Do you any idea how to do it? I tried using Odin/superoneclick but no luck. superoneclick hangs.
Thank you.
Hi XDA
I need the original danish/nordic firmware version for my SGS II
I just called Samsung support in Denmark and got the information.
Danish firmware from samsung support.
Android 2.3.3
Build: gingerbread xwkdg
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwkdg-cl174368 [email protected] #2
This is the one im looking for, or something similiar.
Short story about the device: I bought the SGS II from a guy who bought from 3 carrier in Denmark. After i bought it, i realized that the phone was 3 carrier locked and the 3 app, planet 3 app was on the phone. I wanted to debrand.
I did debrand with Odin 1.85 and used the sgs II firmware stock version I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1, which i downloaded from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I have looked, and couldnt find the danish firmware or something similiar to what im now looking for.

Danish KE4 or KF4 Its that or ask in the branded roms post or try Google .
KDD still on Samfirmware .

Thanks for reply.
the 3G Carrier stock firmware XWKE1 Danish was the one, that my phone came with.
and the XWKF4 from 3 is the latest that i did upgrade to when i used Kies in the first moment that i got the phone home.
After that i debranded with another firmware, the one i have mentioned in the first post.
maybe i should just use the one I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1 i have now on the phone this is the first firmware in the thread and is also a uk firmware, but this one have danish language in it and is not a 3 carrier locked firmware. :-D
Which firmware build version do you use?
Me its cooked KH3 based on Cognition 1.51 rom and adapted further .
jje
okay cool. Well i just have to search for another danish firmware other than 3 carrier firmware.
Do you know which android 2.3.4 firmware is the newest one? ;-)

Hi guys.
have you experienced problems with "missing calls badge" on telephone icon ?? You know when recieving missed calls you should normally have a small counter i corner of app...
Mine is completely gone after i changed ROM a few times..
I have tried to reset everything and re-install original firmware and even do normal upgrade via Kies..
any solutions?
Hi There,
I purchased my SGS2 outright from O2 UK and I'm on a pay monthly SIM-only plan with O2. The phone came loaded with the stock O2 UK firmware and whenever I connected it to Kies it would recognize the firmware and say that the current firmware is up to date, which was fine. Since then I have played around with rooting my phone, installing different mods and installing newer stock samsung firmwares to try out Android version 2.3.4. etc.
After all this playing around I wanted to be sure that I could get my phone back to the standard O2 UK branded configuration in case I ever needed to send it in under warranty for repair. I hunted around on the internet and found a website with a link to a copy of the official O2 UK branded firmware which was a tarball called: I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR. Using odin I flashed my phone with this firmware and now my phone starts up with the O2 logo and everything seems back to normal, except when I connect it to Kies. I know for a fact that the O2 firmware I'm now on has been superseded by newer releases from O2, but when I connect to Kies, it says:
"Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: I9100XWKDD/I9100O2UKD1/I9100XXKDH/I9100XWKDD"
I'm guessing that there is something else on my phone that I need to install/flash/change for Kies to start recognizing it as "Official". Does anyone know what this might be? What is it that Kies looks for on your phone to work out if it supports upgrading it or not? I am running the latest version of Kies.
I have attached a screenshot from my kies to show you what I'm talking about and a screenshot from my phone to show you software/firmware versions it is running.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

I have got two recommendations for you:
1. Have a look at http://fus.nanzen.se/ to get Check Fus Downloader and check what the latest official firmware for your phone and region is.
2. Got to Intratech's Carrier Branded Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 to get the carrier branded firmware you want/need to flash using Odin.
If you do not need a carrier branded firmware (Kies does not need a branded ROM on your phone), you can also check Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 to get the latest official and un-branded firmware flashable via Odin.
See second post of his thread.
If you flash a stock ROM for your region, KIES should recognize it again.
Good luck !

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your recommendations. I downloaded Check Fus Downloader which I was then able to use to download the latest O2 UK firmware, which, as it turns out, was only released yesterday and uses android 2.3.5. I then used odin to flash the new firmware and now when I connect to Kies it says I have the latest firmware installed.
Happy Days!! and Thanks again!

I have the same issue, when i upgraded the Stock firmware. When connect to Kies, message popup is "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: ...XXKH2"
I have reset to factory format my SG2 9100 (watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzDb6m7sQ7A&feature=related). After that when i connect it showing current and latest firmware..
I did exactly the same as the OP. I just flashed back to the latest carrier firmware and Kies still does not recognize it but I don't really care.
My question is: if I send it to warranty, is there any way they can see I have previously installed other official firmwares from Intratech's thread? I have never rooted it, only installed official firmwares.
Thanks.

Samsung honour official firmware for warranty does not matter if you have reflashed as long as the firmware is stock and custom rom counter is zero .

Hello,
I upgraded my galaxy S2 to the SFR (France) ICS firmware I9100SFRLP7 by using CheckFusDownloader. It works but unfortunately my mobile is still not recognized by Kies. The message "your device does not support software upgrading via kies" is displayed on the screen.
Phone Info:
PDA: I9100BULPC
PHONE: I9100BULP6
CSC: I9100SFRLP7
Any idea ? If the CSC is not correct, what is the correct one and how to change it ?
Thanks for your help.
Hello all,
I purchased Galaxy S2 last year in June in United Arab Emirates and have had following firmware:
PDA:KE2
PHONE: KE1
CSC: KE1 (ARB)
Kies still shows no updates for my device.
It is Gingerbread 2.3.3. It does not support Arabic (all Arabic text appears as blocks) even though it should.
It is not a carrier branded version. It is available in the country through only 1 official Samsung distrubutor. My friends who purchased the phone much later have different firmwares on their devices and have proper Arabic support and have had their phones updated through Kies few times.
What I feel is that there are different series of Galaxy S2 devices released in the country havind different firmware series. I purchased my device the very first day it was released here (pre-ordered).
I think that there are newer firmware updates for my device though I can not understand exactly which ones will work with my device. I am wondering why no updates have been made available on Kies.
Can anyone guide me to the exact firmware updates for my device (all 3 part; PDA, PHONE and CSC). Gingerbread 2.3.5 would be preferred. Or should I wait for Android ICS 4?
Thanks very much!
Just root your phone.

Forget kies it's terrible software.
Make sure you have a I9100 version of the phone the Read this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Learn how easy it is flashing firmware with Odin and find a good late version firmware to your liking. Then flash it.
You can flash your csc also to keep that if you need it. Carrier specific Stuff.
Also you can flash modems to see what gives you the best reception etc.
After you have done this kies will probably not work for updates anymore but you can download an app called checkfus from the market to check your carrier/region updates.
Hope this helps.

Hi all, I'm new to posting here but a vet over at samdroid.
I've looked around quite a bit and my problem seems to be unique...annoyingly.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies. I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
I was thinking of trying odin (i was a pro at updating roms on my spica), but don't know if using an offical update through odin instead of kies would void my warranty etc. NOTE: I don't want to actually root my phone (yet)
I hope that all made sense and any help would be much appreciated
Thanks,

make sure you got i9100 not any other varient
does other O2 in your area got ICS via KIES
odin is fine and will not void warrenty aslong you dont root and flash back the ROM you have now. you have to find this ROM first if you want to go back.

This Thread has instructions and official ICS.
Plz note that this is official and will have TouchWiz and does look extremely similar to Gingerbread and without root and custom theme you will not get that ICS feel. You will however get most of the goodies that ICS has to offer.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies.
Well that's not exactly true you upgrade if their is an upgrade for your exact phone .
Kies has firmware for GT-i9100KAO2U product code .
I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
But not for your phones product code which obviously does not match the released O2 firmware .O2 may well and probably over twelve months had more than one phone for sale unless contract has different codes to PAYG .
Standard older O2 UK firmware for xxx Product codes is on Kies its also on this forum in a legitimate flash via Odin .

you still didnt confirm if you have i9100P which i think you have but i could'nt find the Stock ROM your running now, so you can go back to it later if required.
if you have i9100P this thread has good news for you though the actuall thread is stupid and useless...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24030713
i think what happened to u is you got the model which is i9100P not the usuall i9100, thus all on normal model are on ICS and you still on GB. you can wait for it to come or use the i9100 ROM's but please search if that is actually possible.

i read somewhere that i can use i9100 firmwares on my i9100P, so which of those 2 links would you recommend? also, is there a lot of risk or is it pretty easy and you're just covering yourself?
finally, if i update like this, will i be able to update officially through kies when the update is finally released for me?
no im not covering my self...... i tell you in points....
1: you got I9100P on O2 for which i cant find a firmware for.
2: because you cant go back to your old firmware which is O2 you will get into warrenty problems

ok, i guess i'll wait for the official update then. thanks for your help
here are your options if you still want to continue.
1: you can flash stock firmware for i9100.
2: you can flash custom firmware
3: you can flash O2 branded firmware for i9100.
but in all cases NFC wont work by default.
plus now you cant go back to O2 i9100P firmware as it cannot be found anywhere... atleast by me.
