[Q] Why does Odin stop your phone from receiving updates from Kies? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was wondering why after using Odin does updating via kies no longer work and can you revert it?
Also im looking for CPW CSC but the download link on the Official Firmware thread is down..
Any help appreciated.

Nothing to do with Odin.
You have changed phones hardware and firmware etc information codes . Non now match on the Kies server .
Revert is by full wipe and flash original firmware .
CPW CSC >. use Google search is about your only chance or do not use any CSC enter network settings manually .

So if I flash original firmware kies would work for updating (where one was available)
Tried google but most links end up back here to xda or a non working multi upload link lol.
Thanks for the info jje.

See the Checkfus thread for an alternative method of grabbing original firmware or updates .
Its off-line today and Kies has been not working smells like a hugh batch of updates being pushed out to me .

[Q] Why Kies Does Not Show Any Firmware

I'm from India.
I flashed my GSII to Baseband I9100DDKE4 via Odin. And now kies does not show any firmware for the phone. In the firmware coulmn it just leaves a blank.
What do i do to get newer updates via kies.
Plz Help.
Once you update to a mix and match firmware version using odin you wont be able to get updates from kies.
You need to flash a 100% stock rom with odin to go back to getting updates from odin, this can be your original rom or a newer leaked one.
Kies is very slow for updates, only 2 regions have a official KG 2.3.4 rom so far.
i flashed to 2.3.4 yesterday but then my phone was not being recognised in android market so i moved back to the stock i got from samfirmware but still kies says "this firmware cannot be updated". what do i do
Pick the correct carrier branded rom from here and flash it via odin
india does not have branded roms bro.
Pick one from the stock roms post then if you want updates then you need to pick an older firmware as Kies can not update firmware that is newer than on the server .If you dont know ask in the Indian thread .
jje
hey thanks bro but the problem got solved.
i think when i flashed it to 2.3.4 the region got changed to korea so i flashed it again with stock from samfirmware and used the CSC it provided. then used the *#272*imei# to change region to india and kies detected a firmware upgrade.
Thanks for your time bro.
Kies leaves blank field, that doesn't mean you have a problem. I too sometimes get blank in firmware update section, that maybe because Kies server is having a problem. Try again later, at night time. If Kies pops up 'This version of the device can not be upgraded' then it's a completely different matter.
Regards.

[Q]

Hello, xdadevelopers.
Iv'e currently bricked my Samsung galaxy s2 I9100 v2.3.4
I can only see the error: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. And enter: Download mode.
I know that the solution is by flashing the phone with the stock rom, and I found
this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But the first problem is that I don't know the weird XXK4 or XXHKG1929 bla bla whatever it is called and also none of the downloads work because they are from Megaupload. Could someone tell my how to locate my phones XX number for 2.3.4 And give me a working download?
And btw I don't have Kies installed.
Search Samfirmware.com for the original firmware that came with your phone, or if you're happy with the latest firmware available for your carrier/country that you'd normally get via Kies, use the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here).
Edit to add - You might as well get Checkfus in any event. Given you don't know what firmware came with your phone, if you choose your carrier & country in Checkfus it will tell you what the original firmware was. You won't be able to download this with Checkfus (only the latest), but at least you'll know what to search for on Samfirmware.

[Q] Changing CSC will update the firmware??

I want to update my SG2 to ICS through Kies, but my phone is branded so I have to wait my company to release the ICS. My question is: If I change the CSC of the phone, Kies would recognize it as a unbranded phone and then installs the ICS??
I don't want to unlock my phone, only I want to deceive Kies to recognize my SG2 as a unbranded terminal.
If changing the CSC is not the way to deceive Kies, what I have to change to achieve this??
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
No CSC is not an update tool .
Your phone is locked and the phone provider will supply the update .

You can flash a unbranded firmware using Odin you may as well just flash the ICS one if your wanting it on your phone, got to the developers section if your going to use odin and make sure you follow the instructions
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Ok thank you. But I thought that in the CSC was stored the provider apps, configuration and all the info related to the brand, so if I install an unbranded CSC, then Kies recognize the phone as unlocked. I'm scared to flash my phone so I'm looking some way to update ICS through Kies without wait to the provider.
Thanks

If your scared to flash then wait for your network provider to provide the update.

Nope CSC is for network settings mainly .
Phone has a number of codes to show to Kies .

A firmware on Kies server with matching codes is required.
SpoofFW from the market may enable you to spoof these codes .
Now i am not sure how changing firmware gets on with a phone that is locked .

Choie of CSC

Hi, I have flashed my S2 19100 from gingerbread to ICS via odin, when I go to change the CSC code to UK there is only one option which is KOR how can I put more options on my mobile so I can change it to my region. So I'm just wondering if it's possible to add an additional country to the Regional Settings, quite frustratring as Kies see mobile and I can do everythin on it except update firmware, not too bothered anout Kies I just want to know why and the CSC seems to be the only thing left to try - that is changing it...
thanks in Advance.

Stock roms and CSC flash via Odin .

Kies only updates if all codes match firmware on the server use CHECKFUS to download firmware and flash via ODIN .

[Q] Your Device does not support software updating via kies

I have read some related threads for " Your Device does not support software updating via kies"
I am getting this issue.
I recently got a branded phone from orange after having a unbranded phones4u (the unbranded one was smashed and Orange replaced it with orange care) my concern was they the branded phone would be full of bloatware etc etc, so i came to XDA earlier in the week and I got some advice about Odin & flashing the attached stock ROM (I9300XXBLG_i9300XABLG8_I9300xxLH1_home.tar.md5) this seemed to go through very smoothly after following the XDA guide.
the S3 is now showing up as I9300XXLH1 which was the same as my Unbranded phone , however now Kies is being a bit of a bell-end and bring up the following message on the connection screen "Your Device does not support software updating via kies". after reading some related threads it would seem that the general consensus is that Kies is in fact a bit of a liability and its best to update via Odin.
This I don't mind doing, but as a bit of Noob , I'm a little confused over where to get a guide on which firmware in the UK will work. I'm not wanting to go for any the custom ROMs (Yet, I want to get used to flashing stock ROM's first) is there a website which gives you update on new stock firmware (for I9300 & I9100)that can be flashed (ie taking the place of Kies , so to speak.
Also I noticed that the Kies Back-up program doesn't work , it doesn't seem to work with any phone, I've tried reinstalling etc etc but it still doesn't work, I've tried Mobile Go which is okay but doesn't seem to backup user settings etc etc. I've heard of titanium but I don't want to Root at the moment is there any alternative?
has anyone got a link for relevant Stock firmware for Jellybean for I9300 UK & I9100
Thanks in advance
has anyone got a link for relevant Stock firmware for Jellybean for I9300 UK & I9100
Why would they JB has not been released for the UK .
JB is Poland only as per thread in General section.
You have changed the firmware and phone now presents wrong codes to KIES .
jje
Thanks
Thanks for the quick response,
I had assumed that changing the firmware would perhaps invalidate the connection to kies updates , my question was for someone in the know to point me in the right direction for ROM catalogue (of sorts) as being new to to this I'm apprehensive about putting the incorrect firmware on to the phone/s.
JB issue - noted.
Thanks
Roms
CHECKFUS is best download and flash via Odin genuine Samsung server firmware .
Or XDA General thread stock roms.
Or Sammobile.com
