I have just bought a used O2 I9100P, O2 UK model.
When I connect with kies to update from GB 2.3.5 I get:
"your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
Anyone else had this problem?
My device is identified on Kies as... PDA:KJ4 PHONE:KI3 CSC:KJ2 (XXX)
On device info:
PDA : I9100PXXKJ4
PHONE : I9100PXXKI3
CSC : I9100PO2UKJ2
Further to this when I enter *2767*4387264636#
I get:
SELLOUT SMS
[1]Sellout SMS: OFF
[2]PCode:Not Active
[3]Moderod
I also have noticed the imei on about phone does not match the sticker inside the phone.
The phone seems to not be rooted. Could the previous owner have flashed a rom which changed the IMEI? I have no experience with rooting and flashing.
Any help with getting this phone back to stock GB or ICS and the correct IMEI would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply and taking the time, the phone works perfectly and it is a Public model according to the about phone section, also it has nfc in settings and it works when I enable it.
Is your imei this one?

If so then you have my phone!

Take out the battery. The sticker on the backside of the phone should give you correct model no.
I have a I9100P and mine says that, on the sticker along with IMEI No & serial No.

The IMEI on the sticker inside the phone does not match the one that comes up when I dial *#06#
Also the IMEI appearing on screen is not the standard 004999010640000.
The one on screen ends 787 the one on the box ends 777.
Sound like your imei is corrupted.

If I flashed the official I9100P O2 ICS ROM using Odin, would my phone be fixed in terms of being able to recieve future updates from Kies or OTA?
Someone also had mentioned checking the boot display to see if I9100P or I9100 appears and it does appear as I9100P - see attached.
Thanks again.

yes you will be able to recieve updates from kies.
I have the Orange I9100P and yes thats what you get on the boot display, however if you flash the old bootloader, you will just get I9100 displayed instead. You will stll have all the NFC funtions though.
here is the 02 latest i9100p ICS firmware.

You can use a XEU Firmware or the O2 UK Firmware, check the Firmware-Thread here in the Forum =>

I also have the same problem. I have bought my phone in Switzerland and live in France. I bought my phone on my own (it is not included in any contracts). Can I just take XWKJ2 Firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and tick PDA, Phone and CSC in Odin to reset my phone and have it working with Kies?
Easiest way is use an app called "checkfus" from the market. It's free.
Basically checkfus can search the same servers as kies does and find the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Then go to intratechs official carrier firmware thread and download the version that checkfus told you was the latest for your carrier.
Flash this via Odin following intratechs instructions.
Use a USB jig to get rid of any flash counter. Sets it to official firmware with 0 flash counter.
If you want at this stage you can do a wipe if you don't want any data on your phone.
At this point your phone will be as if you just unboxed it. kies should work and everything.
Hope this helps.

I have the same question for my I9300 / Galaxy S3.
I'd like to thank all the people that posted an answer, but point out there is no answer.
I want to know if there is any way for me to find out what my original firmware was. And is there a way for a service center to check if the firmware matches the imei or serial number?
As long as its official Samsung firmware(and probably for your region) what do they care.

Kies has this option build-in. Just select initialize device from menu or something like that, than enter you phone serial number and model name and voila.
It will tell you what original factory firmware was preinstalled and even flash it if you like.

I know my phone is from poland. polish was the default language for my fone. Later my phone got bricked, So I had to flash it. Wen i searched it in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 I saw quite a few firmwares from poland. Tried XXLPQ and XXKI4. But the default language came as English UK . I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. I am confused with which CSC should be used. OXA or XEO .
Is there any chance to find the stock firmware with IMEI and S/N

can you kindly check for me, wats the official firmware for my phone.
Thanks and Regards.
Allrigt I will check this but don't publish your IMEI here. PM me.
Poland have XEO code. But if phone was branded than it can be operator's code (IDE - Orange, TLP - T-mobile...)

Thanks man,
Now i am sure its XEO , its unbranded, international version, bought from amazon.com
I'm sorry but Kies can not initialize this phone. This could mean that your phone was not branded and you can flash any official XEO firmware if you want to repair it in Sammys Service Center.
You can flash 4.0.4 immidiatelly with Odin or, if you feel that you absolutly must use Kies to upgrade (don't know why) than flash official 4.0.3 (XXLWP) it is stock for XEO region and after that change your CSC by dialing service code *#272*IMEI# (IMEI - your IMEI number). From pop-up menu choose XEO. Phone will be wiped and new CSC will be set. You can check this in 3e recovery (yellow information text at the bottom) or in Kies - there should be (XEO) at the end of the line with current version information. Than you can upgrade to 4.0.4 via Kies or FOTA.

Hello,
Trying to upgrade my Galaxy S II to latest ICS builde that came out today. I got a message on my phone that there is a new version. Tried upgrading through mobile data, WLAN and through KIES, but it wont upgrade. Through mobile and WLAN it fails after downloaded, reboot and installing 5%. With Kies it says that the phone is not supported in this recovery mode, something like that.
I have rooted my phone back in the days but I loaded original firmware back on it.
Model: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
Any sugestions?
Kies says: Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: I9100XWKI8/I9100XXKI2/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKI8 (ODK)
Just a guess.. But you have to change your CSC back to NEE if that is what it came with

It is some software and settings that are different from place to place. The generic one in the nordic countries is called NEE. Kies will only recognize your software and offer an upgrade if all the software-versions represents one in their database.
Sometimes when flashing roms your CSC can change, and then you will have to change it back in order to be able to upgrade using Kies or Softwareupdate

And where can I find this CSC for Norway?
If your phone is branded, you will have to get that CSC, if not you will probably have to look for NEE

The samsung SRS tool is not picking up my phone for some unknown reason to let me reset the IMEI number. Before flashing the new rom i did not take stock of what the original rom was!! Is there anyway to know what the stock rom was before flashing?
Please help!!!!
Well if it was the factory unlocked version, my guess is you had stock unbranded gingerbread.

When you say, your IMEI number has been reset, I think, the efs folder got corrupted. its where the phone data like IMEI number is stored.
And if you want to flash stock kernel, you can visit this site, but I'm not sure how you can retrieve this efs folder data.

Your IMEI is also printed on the sticker beneath your phones' battery.
Your probably seeing the sim lock bug and getting confused. if you flash the leaked JB rom your sim lock will be enabled so you will need to use a unlock app.
Use search, we have plenty of topics that cover this since JB leak.

Hi guys!
I recently bought my first andoid phone, which is the GS3, so i have little knowledge about android OS. So, i bought it in a mall which basically sells all electronic devices, but most of them are unofficial, which means they snuck up the devices to the country (china) from other countries.
I received my GS3 on 4.0.4 and i have no idea whether it was a custom ROM or not, all i know is that when i check for an update on the settings page, it failed to process with the message "Processing failed". From then on i assume it is a custom ROM that the sellers had installed previously (or not? i don't know). The phone was also not rooted as i checked with several apps from the play store.
So i wanted to restore a stock ROM 4.0.4 to the device using Odin but i keep getting an error message of "unsupport dev_type" whenever i wanted to flash it. So i thought i need a root access to the device to flash it (not sure). I downloaded a CF root 6.3 and went on flashing it (USB Debug was turned on) but it failed and when i reboot the phone im stuck with the error message.
Now, somehow i dont know how, i managed to get out of this brick and went back to my default OS, but since i'm an idiot i tried to root it again and im stuck on this message again and can't get back to being unbrick.
So can you guys help me:
1. unbrick the phone from this state?
2. Flash a stock ROM.

Btw i checked my IMEI at IMEI.info and it shows up as a galaxy s3 so i guess its not a clone?
Two things i found interesting, it says in IMEI.info as a 32GB model while the one i have is 16GB model. Also, on the box it says Marble White :laugh:
I'm guessing its like a refurbished version or something.

Oh, do you know whether there is like an online checker for serial number from samsung or something? just to make sure whether it is or it isnt? I was searching for one like Apple's warranty coverage thing, but couldnt find similar thing for samsung.
Alright, I've found more weird info.
I know it says GT-I9300 on the back of the phone behind the battery and on the settings page on the OS it self. But when i connect it to Kies, it shows up as a SGH-I747M, which i belive is the North American Model.
Then I download some spec identifying software to find that i have a dual core processor and 2Gb of ram, instead of the Quad core processor and 1Gb of ram (GT-I9300).
Would that explain the "unsupport dev_type"?
EDIT: On Android System Info app i just downloaded, under "Buildinfos-> Fingerprint" I identified it as I747MMVLALE8 model, but under "Model" it says GT-I9300, is this normal?? I want to get to the bottom of this.
EDIT: Alright, i've managed to gain Root Access by using CF root for the version SGH-I747M. So its confirmed that its not the international version, but the North America verison.
All reads as something wrong .
One a fake
Two a phone flashed with wrong firmware and damaged or just wrong firmware .
Suggest you flash correct stock for SGH-I747M via sticky top of the page .
Or return the phone to the vendor .

Hah, the last thing I wanna do is to talk to the seller, cuz they are very non understanding here in China.
If I flash the stock rom for SGH-1747M, would it be SIM locked? Because it is a Canadian version, don't know which one since there are 3with the same model.

Did you end up flashing the North American rom? If so, did it work for you? I'm curious to find out, because I'm in the exact same situation right now...
do this, BEFORE CONNECTING PHONE TO PC start kies go to upgrade and initialisation. enter your phone model number and serial number. put phone in download mode, vol down +home+power NOW CONNECT PHONE TO PC. this should force kies to upgrade your firmware even if it previously said it was not supported.good luck.

GT-I9300 and your country. If you had unbranded version then it's unbranded, if not select proper branded one.
There's no other way to determine what you have, especially if you overwrited bootloader with other pure-stock flashed via Odin.

you can find it via kies.. for that :
1. switch off your phone, pullup the battery and note the serial no.(no mistake should be made)
1. Open kies and than go to Tools>>Firmware Upgrade and Initialization in kies.( you don't even have to connect your phone to do this)
2. Enter the model no as: GT-I9300 (no mistake should be made, everything should be in capital letters, you can copy this one)
3. It will ask you for S/N (serial no.), enter the one you noted in first step.
Thats it, it will tell you the CSC code(country code) and other informations(i have attached screenshot of mine), the one inside bracket like in my screenshot TTT is the country code. Than you can check in Sammobile for the the firmware and find out the original firmware which was when you bought the phone.

I tried it. But it still gave me MG4 CSC, PHONE and PDA. After flashing it I got LaFleur boot logos and LaFleur wallpapers. That's strange since my phone is not White but Grey.

So did you checked for country code in sammobile, what older firmware are listed there?
My country isn't listed there somehow. As I remember when I connected my device via kies the day I bought it the csc was BTU or something that starts with B. Tho PDA was different.
Can't find my country there. Also my phone is Unbranded
Why don't you try flashing the MG4 one from kies, maybe it detects then... and can you tell your CSC code??

Check my product code is GT-I9300TADCOA , It's Tele2 from Croatia and I bought the phone from Tele2. So it think that's it.
- EDIT -
No use, still not recognized in Kies. Also the TELE2 firmware from Croatia (GT-I9300RWATWO) is a mismatch to mine GT-I93000TADCOA. And I can't find SEB firmware at Sammobile. Could you link it to me?
