Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G
ANDROID - 2.3.6
BASEBAND - I9100GDDKI1
KERNEL - 2.6.35.7
BUILD - XWKJ2
Kies is prompting for a firmware update, update details -
PDA:LC2 / PHONE:KL1 / CSC:KL1 (INU)
When I go for update, Kies downloads it fine and puts my phone into download mode but after that it says Kies does not recognize my phone. Then it says to take out the battery and again connect the device to the computer. I have done this two times but it just say the same thing.
What can be the problem? Any suggestion?

Hi
I just got my phone yesterday through Hantec but they sent me a German model, so thought I would try (for the first time) to use Odin to update to the UK model.. which worked good.
I get
PDA I19100xxWKE7
Phone I9100XXKE4
CSC 19100XEUKD1
When I opened Kies though, it still showed (DBT) so I cleared the cache, did a factory reset and reflashed the KE7 firmware.
Now when I open Kies it's not showing any firmware, just says Current Firmware Version:
Is there anything I have missed in my steps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
****All fixed now
OK. I just read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 that if you update via Odin Kies wont show up the firmware info. You should read this
Thanks
I have read the whole thread. Funny, after I reboot the phone the right firmware shows in Kies but after I disconnect and reconnect it won't show again until I reboot the phone! I think it is a Kies problem.
hello,
When I looked into Kies today, I see that the "Firmware upgrade" option is disabled.
My phone is a unbranded and i have not installed any custom firmware or root
Any idea why this is disabled?
I could not get the answers in forum nor in google (used search already)
thank you
I had a few times. Rebooted the PC and restarted the phone, then start Kies and connect the phone normally fixes it.
Does Kies see your phone ???

I have the same product code and the option isn't greyed out but it always tells me that the KE2 firmware is the most recent and that there is no new update at the moment. There doesn't seem to be a button the MAKE it search. My Kies version is the most recent, too (something.99 at the end).

tried reinstalling / rebooting both pc and mobile but still its grayed out. The stock firmware sucks battery like anything. Want to know if Samsung has given any update.
Yes I can flash many ROMS available But they are too confusing. I dont want to update my mobile CSC or anything so I dont void the warranty
Any suggestions on easy way of updating?
That's true official firmware are providing too old versions with battery issues. Since, kf2 modem version, I can use my phone all a day and if I pay attention of data usage (3G / edge mainly) I can use my phone during the whole week end without charge battery again. This is why I recommand to switch to custom rom and to buy USB jib to reset Odin flash counter and to help you in case of brick...
Why the hell they don't release the newer firmware versions on KIES!?
I'm also still stuck on the KE2!
Samsung have released its the phone providers that have not updated to Kies ,Their choice .

Hi Guys,
Yesterday, I bought my phone. DO we really need to connect to PC via Skies to upgrade the phone firmware? Cannt we do over the air using software update option? I can see software update option in phone under Menu and you need to specify your samsung account details as well.
Any idea...

This usually happens when you're not online or for some reasons Kies cannot connect to Samsung's servers.
This also happens under Windows 8, regardless whether online or offline - I'm still investigating this.
Hi,
Last week i got my Galaxy S2 and am really obsessed with the performance and beauty of her.
Today i installed lastest version of Kies and when i connected my phone thru USB, it said that new version of firmware is available (KF3).
I clicked OK to upgrade the firmware and it showed downloading firmware and after some time it said that "Failed to convert to upgrade mode" and i tried upgrading my firmware for 5-6 times but no luck..
Any one here know how to update the firmware to KF3 (INDIAN version)
Turn OFF AV and Firewall .
jje
thanks mate...but i tried but no luck....
Try resetting your phone to factory settings.Sometimes there are certain apps which interrupt the upgrade procedure. Needless to say, Do backup all your data and apps
better you would use odin to flash a rom.
Make sure you installed KIES in administrator mode.
Somehow i followed the steps given by you guys and able to successfully download the firmware. but after some time Kies showed some error in unknown language ( i think its korean) with only OK button (dont have a screen shot though).....now my phone was showing a little android guy with "Downloading....do not turn off target".....i waited for nearly 1.5 hrs and nothing happend...then i searched in net, there it asked me to power off the phone and switchng it on again.....
it came back online as usual and when i cheked the version it was still showing my old one.....any idea what went wrong? and what the heck is that error message, written like a chopstick house......
Solved
i had faced similar isssues while trying to upgrade for last 2 days.
it worked today - all i did was start Kies in Administrator mode.
kies didnt download the firmware again - it took it from previous downloads and did the upgrade.
try it out!

I have been trying to download the new firmware since last 3 days, I even reset the phone back to factory setting, also using Kies in Administrator mode but everytime I click on the option of firmware upgrade it does the back up but after that it says "connection to Gt-i9100 lost ".
Any idea why this would be happening ?
Also any noticeable difference after the update ?

earlier i did the factory reset (including USB erase) plus re installed USB drivers from Kies menu few times at home but it was not upgrading.
Just reconnected on a different machine (as was trying sitting at work ) it just worked. Yesterday I did face teh same issue at work machine as well.
most likely it looks to me either a USB driver issue and / or admin issues.
Hope it helps.
yet to come across any significant improvement changes. still in the mode of re installation of apps.
I tried everything...did factory reset, ran kies in admin mode etc....but still no luck.....can i use odin to update my firmware? if i update now using odin, can i update the next release of updated firmware with kies?

People seem to regularly have problems with Kies. My biggest one is getting the firmware to download: it often times out more than half-way through, eating up big chunks of my broadband data cap every time.
Odin is usually the most reliable way of doing a firmware update. Make sure you use the USB cable that came with the phone, because people have had problems using other cables (such as ones that come with HTC phones).
If you do a firmware update through Odin, it doesn't necessarily prevent later updates through Kies. The only thing you need to watch is that you're using a Kies-released firmware that's correct for your phone. For example, if you've got an Indian phone (GT-I9100LKAINU), you need to flash the XWKF3/ODDKF3/DDKE4 firmware. This is the latest Kies release for that phone. If you flashed a different firmware, such as the XWKF3/XEUKD1/XXKE7 firmware for European phones, Kies will no longer find updates.
You can use the Check Fus Downloader (v1.2 at fus.nanzen.se) to find the latest firmware for your phone, and to download an Odin-flashable package. This will give you a ZIP file, and inside that is a TAR file. This TAR file is then used by Odin.

Of course you can update official firmwares via Odin. But as you are sometimes getting connection with Kies, I'd advice you to re install the drivers and then try again. And make sure USB debugging is Off before connecting.
However if the problem remains then Odin is the option, and you can get official firmwares from here,

additionally if i download the indian update version on my vodafone uk SGS II, is it ok, ?

as further informaiton
My phone build No. is Gingerbread.BUKG2

Your Baseband is KG1! Did you update via Odin before? If you updated a leaked version then Kies won't support any further update.

How can I get kies to work to update my SGS to gingerbread?
Hi I'm a noob member of this forum, but have been watching it for 3 months. With suggestions from this site, I have eventually managed to get the current version of kies (2.0.0.11014_49) to connect to my Galaxy S I9000 - at least some of the time (it's a bit hit and miss).
I have been able to sync my contacts and podcasts from my phone to my computer using kies.
I can get to the kies screen for updating firmware. BUT - this is the really frustrating part - it tells me that my firmware is up to date.
It correctly tells me that my firmware version is:
PDA-JP5 PHONEJP3 CSC-JP4(XSA) - this matches the output of the not-so-secret key-code.
From the handset, in Settings About Phone I get:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband DTJP3
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #7
Build FROYO.DTJP5
I am aware of the post "Kies firmware update without using (all of) Kies!" by miki4242, but this doesn't apply to the latest kies. Does anyone know how to do the same thing with the current version of kies?
I'm also aware of the post "Kies 2.0 Registry Patcher 1.8.0.0, patch registry on latest Kies" by Nodial, but I'm looking to do it as simply as I can. I have not rooted my phone, and would prefer to use Samsung software (kies or part thereof) to get gingerbread. Surely it shouldn't be so hard!?!
(Or why can't we get it as a download direct to the phone from samsung or the market?)
PS: I tried to post this qn as a new thread, but the site wouldn't let me (the error msg said I couldn't paste outside links).
I never used Odin for updates however I recently updated via Kies and my current firmware is kj3, now waiting for official ICS update
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Hi, my phone model is GT-I9100 (unlocked)
This is exactly what happens when I try to update...
When I go to Software Update > Check for Update on the phone it says Firmware Update Required... the update will then download, phone will reboot and then there's an error message 'Update Failed try again using Kies".
So, when I connect my phone to Kies I get the message... "Your device does not support Software upgrading via Kies" And when I right click on my device name under 'Connected Devices' the 'Firmware Upgrade' option is greyed out (see pic below)
I've tried removing my sim card and memory card before reconnecting to Kies. I've done factory reset many times... I've uninstalled / reinstalled Kies many times... also on different computers not sure what else I can do now?
