Ok so i'm on a UK Sim Free Samsung Galaxy S2 and was fed up with being stuck with the official 2.3.4 firmware so i manually flashed my firmware with Odin using the official ROM and all is running perfect but my baseband version has changed and firmware version to 'XXLPQ' and now Kies won't let me use it to do any other potential future updates?? Maybe because ICS isnt released officially on UK sim free??? Plz help! Thankssss!

Why panic? As soon as an update is available it is posted on Intratech's thread. You can just manually install again

Hi,
So i updated my galaxy s2 firmware to latest indian firmware available on this site. (Plz check attached screenshot).... all went well & the battery life has improved aswell.
The problem is kies does not like odin software updates so in future i will need to depend on these sites for firmware updates... which somehow i dont prefer.
What i want is offical firmware for galaxy s2 (India) which kies will recoginze... can any one help me with the link...
Thx
You are on KF3, which is the official latest firmware available for India, so why would you worry? You are fine enough to receive updates via Kies. Just connect your phone to Kies and it will say, 'This is the latest firmware'.
Besides, you can download official firmwares from www.samfirmware.com OR from Intratech's thread here under Dev section.
Regards.
Well, this may help. What you already have will be recognized by Kies because its stock.
It says "This version of the device cannot be updated"
(Check screenshot)
why does it says that.
Any helps guys ????
"It says "This version of the device cannot be updated""
So what have you done to deserve this? lol.....
Jokes apart, why did you update from Odin if you wanted to update to a Stock Rom (KF3)only? You could have left your firmware untampered if you wished to update via Kies only.
Obviously the KF3 which you have flashed via Odin is not exactly the same as the one that comes from Kies, otherwise why would it say, "This version of the device cannot be updated"..........or maybe it means the same as "this is the latest version"? Now you will be able to confirm this only when a new firmware update is available in India via Kies, which should be soon.
Guys I can use this firmware(see screenshot below) right? As mentioned in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
That one is the official Samsung firmware right? Samfirmware.com still shows KE8 as latest for India, so I am a bit confused.
Kies shows the update is available but I cant update using Kies, it is a real pain. So want to download the official Samsung firmware and then update using Odin.
Thanks.

You need to go back to the OFFICIAL STOCK ROM OF KE8 first. Then after that, you will be able to update to KF3 via Kies.

I am on the Official stock ROM of KE8. And Kies tell me that the update is available(KF3). The matter is I don't want to update using Kies, because of the bad experiences in the past. It half-bricked my phone twice while midway in the update process. And it always drops the connection while downloading the firmware. I no longer want to use Kies.
So what I was asking is that, in the screenshot above, that is the official samsung firmware right? I want to update my firmware using Odin not Kies.
I hope you understand.

R3Y, is Reborn4U also your id? From the conversation that has gone on in this thread so far, it certainly seems both are your ids. If they are, then I'm sorry to say that you're contradicting yourself so much that you are not making any sense! First you posted (as Reborn4u), "What i want is offical firmware for galaxy s2 (India) which kies will recoginze... can any one help me with the link...". And now you are saying, "So what I was asking is that, in the screenshot above, that is the official samsung firmware right? I want to update my firmware using Odin not Kies." .......... Do you see the contradiction in both these statements?
Anyway, I'm assuming your last statement to be true that you want to update firmware using Odin and not Kies. So if that is the case, then why do you care whether you have the official samsung firmware or not? If you want to use Odin only, then forget Kies.....why do care whether Kies will recognize your firmware or not! ........ The latest official Samsung firmware for India is KF3. If samfirmware shows KE8 as the latest official firmware for India, then they are wrong!
So after all your confusing statements, my suggestion to you is to upgrade to either KG3 or KG5 which are available on XDA forum. You will also get Android 2.3.4 with them which you don't get with KF3. And if you want to use Odin, then forget about Kies completely. Cheers!
Sorry to disappoint you but no that is not my id. Now when you are confusing yourself thinking that is my id and combining his and my questions and making all kinds of assumptions yourself, I cannot help.
I never said I care about Kies. My question was simple, I want to flash my phone with official samsung firmware using Odin and asked whether the file in that screenshot is official samsung firmware or not.
Thanks for you help(If any)
I have better things to do than making useless double ids.

R3Y, the confusion was created by you mentioning "that screenshot". I thought you were talking about the screenshot posted by Reborn4u. What you had posted looked more like a Copy-pasted text than a screenshot, hence the confusion. Also, your question is the exact opposite of the OP question......but still, sorry for the confusion. My mistake.

Yes, don't know why Samfirmware doesn't include the KF3! Anyway, download from here,

List will show latest firmware .
Kies will only update if the phone provider has updated for your phone not because other users have later version or their is a later stock rom or you have not followed the upgrade path .

I was looking for a fix for the crackling issue when i saw people talking about updates. I thought is was weird because i haven't gotten a single update since when i got it in mid june. I tried to update with the phone but it can't find any, kies says that updates aren't supported with my device and i even tried a restore and that didn't fix it either. Please help.
What firmware are you on?
android 4.0.4
baseband i9300xxlef

In what country do you live, you probably have the wrong firmware for your country?
Go to this website http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and flash the rom you need with Odin 3.0.4. If you have a US model you`re in the wrong forum.
Do not flash the leaked jellybean rom, not suited as a daily rom yet.

Hi guys, first post so be gentle!
After plenty of reading I decided to root my S3, which is a UK variant locked to the Three network. For a while I was running CWM with the Siyah kernel but stock ROM. After being unable to install any updates (OTA or Kies) for an unknown reason I decided to use Odin to install flash back to stock 4.0.4, which I thought was the right idea...
Now my phone shows that there are no updates available OTA, and Kies tell me that my phone doesn't support updating with Kies. I know JB is available on Three here in the UK, though I'm not that fussed, I just want my phone to have stock firmware and kernel and to be able to update if I want to! Would any kind and knowledgeable soul be able to help me out please?
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: I9300XXLE8
Kernel: 3.0.15-554452-user [email protected] #1
Build: IMM76D.I9300XXALE8
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong section!
Dont wait for official via OTA. You already rooted.. go to sammobile or search here for official roms. Download and flash via Odin.

Thanks guys. I probably should have mentioned that my concern is if I choose to sell the device on, the new owner won't be able to update OTA or via Kies, can this be fixed at all?

I have bought a brand new galaxy s 2 (GT-I9100G). It's currently on GB firmware I9100GXXLB1 from XEF france region as this was bought in france. I want to update to Jelly Bean. I have installed the latest version of kies and got everything set up. But,when downloading the firmware update, kies is giving me extremely slow download speeds(3mbps connection here) that's going to take forever to download JB. So, I want to flash it manually using odin 3.07 as other firmware hosting sites gives normal download speeds.I have downloaded odin and want to install the following firmware.
So, can I upgrade directly from GB to JB without any problems? Do I need any special .pit or procedure while upgrading or I can flash normally using it?
Please reply..

No special requirements, that's assuming you know what you're doing with Odin (fair assumption given your post count?)
Actually,this is my first time using odin. I have never used samsung devices before. I have done a lot of reading before posting this thread just to be extra clear.
If no special requirements are needed,will I have any problems upgrading directly? Also, have I chosen the correct firmware for my GT-I9100G?

As the above poster said no problem in direct jumping from gb stock to jb stock, and you don't need to touch the pit files, but sometimes(very rarely) a bootloop can occur, so in such a case just performing a factory reset from the stock recovery would fix that.

Unfortunately I'm not going to comment on whether you've chosen the correct firmware. I don't own a I9100G, so have no experience choosing a firmware for it. As long as it's definitely an I9100G (as opposed to international I9100) firmware you'll be fine

According to the filename it seems to be i9100g firmware, if it's from a trusted source then it's safe for the i9100g.
