Kies being odd - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me or is Kies acting strange? When I plug the phone in I get the current firmware version but not the usual "This is the latest firmware" notice.

I noticed this too.
I flashed XXKI3 and connected to Kies to test it. It should upgrade to KI4 as it did many times before when I was testing.
Now Firmware Update in Kies is disabled.
Also Check FUS isn't working.
It looks like update servers are down. Maybe it's preparation for ICS release or just maintenance.
Kies:
//EDIT// Kies is working again.
Check FUS:

Kies downloaded Update Program and is working as it should. But Check FUS still isn't working.

Any idea what region I should choose for i9100rwaxeu ? I can't find it in FUS

Europe - LKAXEU
RWAXEU is the same as LKAXEU - it doesn't matter for firmware.
RWA and LKA are codes for color of the phone.
LKA is Black and RWA is Ceramic White.
I have two I9100s. One is Black I9100LKAXEO (Poland) and second is White I9100RWAXEO.
Kies is working again but Check FUS not.
Maybe Samsung changed how "delivery" of updates to Kies works to block Check FUS?
///EDIT///
And again Kies isn't updating phone... Strange.

Last time that happened with servers it was due to a major upload .
jje

[Well I never, Oh what a surprise.]
Still the same here no "this is the current version"

Lol, guys, seems like Sammys preparing for ICS big release, my kies is asking me to update when I open it, but update is just stays at 0%, no loading/downloading, strange.

OK, Check Fus working - still there's XXKI4 for me.
Kies is working too again.
//EDIT:
Both not working again. Jesus.... We must wait.

Oh, great, now KIES is crashing during update, something is not right here lads...

XEU is United Kingdom, not Europe (yes, CheckFus site is wrong about this).

Nice, updated without errors, but there's no new firmware yet, no ICS guys, probably we should wait for 1st of march, i think its correct date.

OK, today Kies and Check FUS are working again. There's no new updates visible on the servers. Maybe they are there physically and will be "unlocked" tomorrow.

How do you tell which firmware to use on check fus? My phone is unlocked and I am not sure which one I am supposed to use. I am on KPQ, so I am guessing I would get a bootloop so I will have to reflash after the first time. Is there anyway to confirm that the firmware is indeed stock for my device?

Just choose which device you have from the list in Fus Downloader. For example, if you phone was originally a United Kingdom O2 Network, choose United Kingdom O2 from Fus Downloader and flash that.

I really appreciate all of the help, however mine is the unlocked version from the UK. I don't see an option for that. Any way to check on my phone or some other method?

[Q] Another kies issue (My first)

Getting to the point. My unlocked, non rooted, upto date.. Kinda.. It's on 2.3.6 Sgs2 connected to kies works fine, but when connected, kies shows that the update feature isn't supported by my device.
My other sgs2 is rooted and I'm using an ics custom ROM so I can't check with that.
But I got this phone a couple of Weeks ago and decided not to root it until after the 4.0 update.
I have tried OTA as well but that doesn't work either.
Any idea why kies is showing my device as not supported?
Thanks

Before I rooted my other phone, it didn't show that same notice. It's telling me that kies doesn't support updating my phone, end of.
Anyway, what's CHECKFUS and how to use it? Thanks

jelly bean 4.2.2

Hello guys
I need some help here, few days ago I've updated my S3 to a leaked version of 4.2.2 from sammobile, didn't like the logo at startup (israeli language symbols) so I've decided to get back to 4.1.2. When I reinstalled 4.1.2 android looked for the Product code, and selected Germany. After done this my samsung kies saying my firmware is not supported, done some research and spoke with a nice guy from sam forum. All i know my csc is btu and product code is german. Bought the phone in uk at carphone warehouse and was unlocked to any network. Phone is not rooted but I really want phone to be as it was before, so I can get OTA updates directly. I don't use kies to update but if kies is messed up and don't match OTA updates will be affected.
Here some of my details:
checkFUS
product code : GT-I9300MBDVD2
PDA : I9300XXEMC2
PHONE:I9300XXEMC2
CSC:I9300XAEMC2
Any help will be much appreciated
Thank you
Run the csc selector app from Play store and select BTU, this will factory reset the device.
The problem comes if you are trying to run it on a rom later than ELLA since that update, you need to be rooted to change csc. If you really don't want to root, flash a rom earlier than ELLA, change the csc then use Kies to update to the latest.

Root what for if you want stock ??it will prevent OTA .
You want your original firmware details .

Yea JJe you right, Im sorry im just so upset as I've messed up my phone installing a 4.2.2 leaked version. I'm trying loads of solutions and getting mad to go back to previous settings as I was All i want is a solution that I cannot find online, thats why i've asked help here. I want OTA and KIES to be working again. I regret installing a leaked version won't do that again.

Same goes for any stock firmware if you install it then its possible Kies cannot match your firmware .
Find
stock UK or UK CPW firmware from about the time you purchased the phone .
Best solution as always is not to use Kies or OTA and flash what you want when you want .

I bought second hand z4 from some guy who work for Sony. How to flash normal (not prototype) rom in this device? Everything works fine, Camera., Apps, Android os is 5.0.2 kernel 3.10.49, everything is smooth, but there is anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" all the time!? If I cant flash normal rom, is there any method to kill that message? Thanks..

I believe that sticker talks for itself and my advice would be not to be so open about this transaction.
In any case unless you have an EMMA account with relevant privileges you can't do much.
If you are lucky enough and Sony enables OTA updates for customer acceptance firmware applicable to the variant you have then at least you might get a firmware update in the future. But if you have as you say the crash handling app installed then probably you have an quite old FW which might not get any OTA.
Is there any way to instal new firmware without OTA? I think for z4 actual android official version is 5.11? If i kill process com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.system and com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.ui anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" is gone. Z4 is alredy long time on the market, so stickers now dont have much point anymore?

The last part is something you need to discuss with Sony but I don't believe a prototype unit on the loose is something they don't take seriously.
If I were you I'd ask the seller to take it back and refund you because as I wrote the only option for updates you have is either EMMA access with the proper permissions to download customer acceptance firmwares, someone with such access to give you the firmware or sony to enable OTA for customer acceptance firmware. The latter happens some times.
With the current firmware you have you can of course kill as you said some processes to get rid of the crash monitor app and notifications but there are still other debug bits enabled. If the firmware has root access enabled - there are such debug firmwares and you can check that from adb shell with su - you can clean it up a bit more.
That is all I can provide as info.
Solution is very simple. I download latest firmware 28.0.A.8.260 with XperiFirm and flash with flashtool and everything works perfect! No anoying messages anymore, nothing..

Prototypes have a different bootloader so you can't flash retail firmware on it and vice versa.
Up to Z3 tablet this was valid also for tablets, if they changed that in Z4 then you are lucky.

Android 11 Update for SM-T725 - S5e LTE - Firmware download

Hi guys.
DOWNLOAD LINK
MultCloud | Best Free Multiple Cloud Storage Manager
new.multcloud.com
This is the UK Version of the Android 11 ROM
Have successfully flashed to a my Australian one without issue and retained the unlocked bootloader
I paid a months subscription for SamMobile to get the new OneUI 3.1/Android 11 firmware - I'm running lineage 18.1 but I really miss the Atmos DSP, and HD Netflix, so am going back to stock.
It's a real pain getting Samsung firmware so as soon as it's finished downloading, I'll reupload somewhere, so anyone who wants/needs it can get it easily.

Only preference is please help us to keep XDA neat by not duplicating thread, this is against the rules. Thanks
Uploading now
Will see if I can't brick my device reverting to a stock, different region rom.... (I don't use the LTE functionality so I assume less potential issues)
Well, everything seems ok so far (it's nice being able to use the fingerprint scanner again!) and the bootloader remains unlocked
Got about 1GB left to upload
Updated OP with download link
Thanks mate, updating mine today
You can also download with Samsung Firmware Downloader. Github repo zacharee/SamloaderKotlin. It has a little more than Frija and is cross-platform Windows, Linux and Android. Has anyone heard or seen anything about T720 wi-fi version getting update ?
