I have a GS2 on T-Mobile and cannot seem to update. I deleted the original Kies that was on the phone as I thought I did not need it and installed Kies Air but cannot seem to do any updates now. Tried OTA updates and it just says Connection failed.
Anyone got any ideas.
Phone currently reads;
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100BOGKG1
BUILD: GINGERBREAD.BOKG2
update manually...easy
Is there anyway of finding out if my firmware is the latest for tmobile?
A ask TMobile
B search for CheckFus on xda .
or post full codes for phone here .

Hello all.
Help me I need to understand the policy update via Samsung Kies. I have a SGS2
android 2.3.4,
Baseband Version: I9100XXKI1 (CPW)
Version number: GINGERBRED.XWKI4 (CPW)
Kies does not offer me any updates while for some countries it already offers Android 2.3.6. Why?
Is there a problem at my level? What to do?

Their is no update for your phone is why .
CPW have not updated go to a CPW service centre and ask .
UPDATE PATH samsung build firmware pass it to phone provider who decide to pass it on or not . Countries are different and do not always have the same updates .

Hello all, sorry it is in the wrong topic but was going though so many websites trying to sort this out i thought i place it here.
Basic i got informed that the new Os for my samsung galaxy s2 was out (think it's ice cream sandwhich or something)
As i plugged it in and tryed to update though kies, all i keep getting is
"your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
i have done *#1234# and got this details....
PDA I9100xwki4
Phone: I9100xxke4

Am i having isuess on the firmwire that it's not letting me update or is it jsut something simple i'm not noticing. The phone is unlocked to any carriar
Hope anyone could help
ok, no offense, but this is totally wrong in so many ways.
this belongs in the q&a section, don't worry about it, it will probably be moved.
also, a quick search of the error message in the q&a section returns 16 results with the exact same issue that should help you.
and this is xda-developers, we don't use kies to flash our phones
you can easily download the rom you want from intratech's shipped roms thread and flash them through odin (instructions can be found there as well). flashing an official samsung stock rom through odin does not void your warranty or anything.
lastly, you could have contacted samsung support for a direct samsung issue, they have trained professionals to deal with such issues and you have paid for your warranty and support, when you got the phone, if you don't want to bother sorting it out for yourself.
Hi there,
I currently purchased a new SG3. It has the vodafone branding which I want to change. When I do the *#1234# it shows me the following:
AP: I9300TDUALE6

Am I able to change the software/firmware from Vodafone to the Telstra one located on Sammobile. Im unable to post outside links but heres a copy of whats available on sammobile.
Firmwares for GT-I9300T - All (10 latest)
Country/Carrier Date Android PDA CSC
Australia (Telstra) 2012 June 4.0.4 I9300TDUALF2 I9300TTELALF2
Australia (Telstra) 2012 May 4.0.4 I9300TDUALE6 I9300TTELALE6
I got no idea how all this rooting stuff works. Im trying to learn but I can get my head around it. So sorry if any of my questions seem stupid. Thanks for all your help in advance.
No need rooting to flash.
And yes you can flash Telstra firmware on Voda model, they are the same hardwares.
You need Odin 3.04 and need samsung usb driver or if you already have it working with Kies, then no worries about driver.
Here I copied the general instruction from the UK thread:
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Launch Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Thanks mate. Am downloading the firmware now. Its gonna take 2 hours to download.
Am I meant to change any of the options in Odin3?
Thanks again.
Now that I have flashed my galaxy s3 successfully.
I keep getting the message "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"
Does anyone know what this is or can direct me into the right place? Ive done a factory reset as another thread recommended but didnt work.
Thanks

Which country did you get your S3 from? Or which carrier? Some country/carrier might not providing the update yet. Check this list to see whether your S3 suppose to be getting the update or not.

I bought this phone in Pakistan. I have told everything in detail, please help me, why is my s3 still saying you got the latest firmware installed. XEMf6 build number, XXEMA5 is baseband...
You have the latest firmware for YOUR phone you wait for your provider to update .
That is the official update .
Alternative .
If you want to update then you flash a stock rom for your region from sammobile or samsung-updates or xda stock rom thread .
If your region has not been updated then flash any stock rom and test .
Your baseband shows as Gulf Countries origin see faqs and guides .

Oh no, Just installed KIES, it says too that firmware is latest installed. It shows me the following details
PDA: MF6 / PHONE: MA5 / CSC: MF1 (AFG)
It means my phone is for Afghnistan region, i am stuck, i think i will never get an update if this phone belongs from there....
If you won't follow the advice given then no, you won't.

Please read JJEgan post above you! You can flash and test other stock roms from different regions with odin (you do not need to be rooted to do this) But if you want to do a full backup (nandroid) of your current rom then you need to be rooted, if you just want to save pictures/music just copy them to pc and flash via odin >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969 <<

If you can't upgrade through kies, ODIN will be your only choice, and you dont need to root your phone for that.
