[Q] Another kies issue (My first) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Kies being odd

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:

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.

Download Original ROM without Kies or SamMobile

How can I download the original Samsung ROM 4.0.4 without installing Samsung Kies on my PC or registering to Sammobile? Are there any mirrors out there where I can download the ROM?
Maybe someone is good enough to put it on Dropbox or Google Drive for me to download?
I am planning to unroot my device and sell it away. I am hoping to get the ROM and flash it with ODIN.

Hello Charles,
Faryaab has a collection of the latest firmware files available to our Galaxy S III.
You can download one of them from this thread.
All credits to Faryaab, who has been a great help to this community.
Thanks. The Samsung-update.com is causing a lot of problem with disconnection.
Awesome to Faryaab collection!!

Checkfus is faster way
http://fus.nanzen.se/
After trying various options, Checkfus seems to a be a bit outdated. They don't have the latest I9300XXBLH1 firmware plus they don't have Indonesia as the region.
Faryaab also don't have Indonesia although they do have I9300XXBLH1 for UK.
Only Samsung-update.com has it BUT has anybody actually successfully downloaded ROM from their website??? I never seems to do it and it will just stop downloading in the middle of the download, plus speed is supper slow

The best way to get latest firmwares in Checkfus is to key in the 'firmware info' section manually (product code, pda, csc etc) and then click 'check firmware'. It then finds it. Remember that it is downloading from Samsung direct so it has access to all firmwares, even if they don't show in the list. It's also the fastest.
Also, checkfus needs to be updated manually. To do this, delete the dbdata.db file in the same folder, open checkfus and it will show 'Downloading firmware list'. When it finishes you can also check the list again.
Last time I used it, it showed an older firmware version, but when I clicked check firmware it displayed details of the latest official version in the 'Result' section, which I then downloaded.
Edit: As I mentioned above, I just checked INU after refreshing Checkfus. Latest showing was LE8. I clicked check firmware and it showed latest firmware LH1 in the result section.

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.

You want your original firmware details .

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 .

how can i sort this problem. CSC:LL2 (XXX)
i've checked the csc on the phone and its O2U
I restored the phone via kies using firmware upgrade and initialization
that didn't help so i installed recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300 via odin, factory reset phone, cleared cache, wiped delvik file then to make extra sure i went in and wiped everything one at a time, sd card ext sd card, preload ect... then used kies again to restore phone and still the same problem.
please don't just reply saying read all the other threads on the same subject.... i have.
many thanks

Kies has decided your phone csc doesn't match the update.
I've never used kies so can't help solve problems with it, apart from recommend you uninstall it.
If your csc has really changed, I've read that the 4.3 update can cause this, then you can download the full rom for your country from sammobile. Check the md5 then flash using odin (remove kies first), factory reset from recovery and the csc will then be set.
CSC is pretty useless for most people, it just seems to complicate Samsung issues.
I've done everything you have recomended apart from removing kies first. I have downloaded every O2U rom from kies from 4.0.4 upto the latest 4.1.2 and I've backed up the efs file for every rom as I've updated via odin. I don't usually update via kies but I just wanted to try and get everything back to stock
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Doing what I've suggested will put the phone to completely stock, apart from your flash counter which you've increased by flashing a custom recovery.
If you want to reset this as well then follow the guide in general forum, sticky threads.
The only definite way is for you to flash back your original saved rom .
Alternative would be under search Kies Emergency Recovery .

i've gone back to an O2U rom and i have managed to update to the latest version using ota update but kies is still showing the (xxx) problem
i've wiped the counter with triangle away and unrooted the phone so it is now totally stock.
Totally stock and correct registry entries ???.
Suggest you find the Kies forum some place on the web or try a Samsung forum .

one bit of info i forgot to add.
if i flash a new rom the imei and sn numbers stay correct but if i try and put the efs file back it doesn't work, but if i reset the imei number and sn number with my nspro box i can then install the efs file and it works.
