i cant seem to upgrade from kies, it stuck at 0% after 100% download.
im on KC1 baseband.
can i just flash any firmware from here
or do i have to get the KC1 only?
i want to upgrade to gingerbread and KC1 is only there for 2.2 froyo.
The firmware's baseband indicates the region and android version it was released for. So, the same baseband has the same android version.
You can flash any firmware you like with Odin as long as it's compatible with your phone. Its recommended to try and Flash a firmware with an updated android version.
Just go to Samfirmware (or Sammobile, don't remember) and locate your region an phone model. You can also use checkfus downloader.

try upgrade via odin

Hey guys,
I am very new to android and this forum as well
I bought my sgs2 outright from Optus Telechoice, and recently i upgraded its firmware via Kies.
This is the firmware information shown in Kies whenever the phone is connected with usb:
PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)
it says this is my current and the latest firmware.
*NEVER rooted my phone before, phone was shipped with KE7 if not mistaken.
Ok my question starts here, i've been reading forums for quite a while, and i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i really like to get the update but KIES said my current firmware is the latest.
I read this sentence from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
saying that:
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates
and i found the exact same firmware version as shown in my KIES:
Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++, which may restrict me from receiving the latest firmware.
As mentioned from the above, 'KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first.'
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
* I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
Can anyone please teach me how and what to do? appreciate that and thanks in advance to any who reply me.
*i am an adroid newbie pls bear with me!

CORRECT
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i
NO
i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
Because they have flashed a later version via ODIN of stock Samsung firmware that may be a leaked version .
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++,
No not if you updated via Kies you are not understanding the post .
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
The one you have on it is the latest for your device as installed by Kies .
I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
One Samsung path and wait for 2.3.4 to be rolled out by your network via Kies .
Or two unofficial method of updating firmware using stock Samsung firmware flashed via Odin.

Hi,
First of all thank you for the replies.
are you sure the official 2.3.4 hasn't come out via KIES?
I read some posts regarding the official release though.
Once again from my understanding, my kind of firmware (PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)) is actually released by Optus via KIES, it is actually more like the OPTUS (and australian phone carrier) version of this firmware, thats why there are few users compared to the majority.
So what u mean is even though others (non-optus user) might get the update BUT i have to wait for OPTUS itself to roll out the update via KIES, right?
Okay lets not talk about official 2.3.4.
AND one more thing, i would really like to remove the Optus bloatware by flashing STOCK firmware via Odin, but i have no idea which STOCK firmware i have to choose from. i'm aware that there are a lot of stock firmwares available from the link provided above, but which is the appropriate as well as the latest STOCK firmware for my unit.
Since my current firmware is PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS), obviously it is a Optus-based firmware, so which STOCK firmware do i have to choose from? what is the 'stock version' for my current firmware as listed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
i am really stuck here. Hope you understand my situation.
Thanks once again mate

I'm from India.
I flashed my GSII to Baseband I9100DDKE4 via Odin. And now kies does not show any firmware for the phone. In the firmware coulmn it just leaves a blank.
What do i do to get newer updates via kies.
Plz Help.
Once you update to a mix and match firmware version using odin you wont be able to get updates from kies.
You need to flash a 100% stock rom with odin to go back to getting updates from odin, this can be your original rom or a newer leaked one.
Kies is very slow for updates, only 2 regions have a official KG 2.3.4 rom so far.
i flashed to 2.3.4 yesterday but then my phone was not being recognised in android market so i moved back to the stock i got from samfirmware but still kies says "this firmware cannot be updated". what do i do
Pick the correct carrier branded rom from here and flash it via odin
india does not have branded roms bro.
Pick one from the stock roms post then if you want updates then you need to pick an older firmware as Kies can not update firmware that is newer than on the server .If you dont know ask in the Indian thread .
jje
hey thanks bro but the problem got solved.
i think when i flashed it to 2.3.4 the region got changed to korea so i flashed it again with stock from samfirmware and used the CSC it provided. then used the *#272*imei# to change region to india and kies detected a firmware upgrade.
Thanks for your time bro.
Kies leaves blank field, that doesn't mean you have a problem. I too sometimes get blank in firmware update section, that maybe because Kies server is having a problem. Try again later, at night time. If Kies pops up 'This version of the device can not be upgraded' then it's a completely different matter.
Regards.

Look in the thread in my sig for the Indian firmware.
Hi There,
I purchased my SGS2 outright from O2 UK and I'm on a pay monthly SIM-only plan with O2. The phone came loaded with the stock O2 UK firmware and whenever I connected it to Kies it would recognize the firmware and say that the current firmware is up to date, which was fine. Since then I have played around with rooting my phone, installing different mods and installing newer stock samsung firmwares to try out Android version 2.3.4. etc.
After all this playing around I wanted to be sure that I could get my phone back to the standard O2 UK branded configuration in case I ever needed to send it in under warranty for repair. I hunted around on the internet and found a website with a link to a copy of the official O2 UK branded firmware which was a tarball called: I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR. Using odin I flashed my phone with this firmware and now my phone starts up with the O2 logo and everything seems back to normal, except when I connect it to Kies. I know for a fact that the O2 firmware I'm now on has been superseded by newer releases from O2, but when I connect to Kies, it says:
"Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: I9100XWKDD/I9100O2UKD1/I9100XXKDH/I9100XWKDD"
I'm guessing that there is something else on my phone that I need to install/flash/change for Kies to start recognizing it as "Official". Does anyone know what this might be? What is it that Kies looks for on your phone to work out if it supports upgrading it or not? I am running the latest version of Kies.
I have attached a screenshot from my kies to show you what I'm talking about and a screenshot from my phone to show you software/firmware versions it is running.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

I have got two recommendations for you:
1. Have a look at http://fus.nanzen.se/ to get Check Fus Downloader and check what the latest official firmware for your phone and region is.
2. Got to Intratech's Carrier Branded Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 to get the carrier branded firmware you want/need to flash using Odin.
If you do not need a carrier branded firmware (Kies does not need a branded ROM on your phone), you can also check Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 to get the latest official and un-branded firmware flashable via Odin.
See second post of his thread.
If you flash a stock ROM for your region, KIES should recognize it again.
Good luck !

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your recommendations. I downloaded Check Fus Downloader which I was then able to use to download the latest O2 UK firmware, which, as it turns out, was only released yesterday and uses android 2.3.5. I then used odin to flash the new firmware and now when I connect to Kies it says I have the latest firmware installed.
Happy Days!! and Thanks again!

I have the same issue, when i upgraded the Stock firmware. When connect to Kies, message popup is "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: ...XXKH2"
I have reset to factory format my SG2 9100 (watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzDb6m7sQ7A&feature=related). After that when i connect it showing current and latest firmware..
I did exactly the same as the OP. I just flashed back to the latest carrier firmware and Kies still does not recognize it but I don't really care.
My question is: if I send it to warranty, is there any way they can see I have previously installed other official firmwares from Intratech's thread? I have never rooted it, only installed official firmwares.
Thanks.

Samsung honour official firmware for warranty does not matter if you have reflashed as long as the firmware is stock and custom rom counter is zero .

If you flashed the firmware using Odin, will you stay rooted after that? Or you will have to root it again? Sorry, I'm new to the Android world.

Depends on what firmware. Some custom firmwares come rooted. Official stock firmwares do not.
Hello,
I upgraded my galaxy S2 to the SFR (France) ICS firmware I9100SFRLP7 by using CheckFusDownloader. It works but unfortunately my mobile is still not recognized by Kies. The message "your device does not support software upgrading via kies" is displayed on the screen.
Phone Info:
PDA: I9100BULPC
PHONE: I9100BULP6
CSC: I9100SFRLP7
Any idea ? If the CSC is not correct, what is the correct one and how to change it ?
Thanks for your help.
My phone is currently running 2.3.3 and when I try to update it it says there are no updates avaiable. I've also tried it in Samsung kies and it still won't work. What is the matter with my phone?
thanks
Y dont u use ODIN3??
Download your desired firmware from www.sammobile.com and then just flash it through ODIN
Download the ics firmware from sammobile.com and flash it through odin.
Google the instructions for flashing via odin
First of all, I'm from India and I have a GT-I9300 international version, running siyah kernel (v.1.8.9+) with stock 4.1.2 (baseband I9300XXELKC) as primary rom & paranoid android(v.2.54) as 2nd rom.
The 4.1.2 update started rolling out in India 4-5 days back(baseband I9300DDELK1).
Now I want to update/change firmware to this version.
So my question is should I get the full version available from sammobile.com (842 MB) and update through odin OR is the version which Kies downloads is fine to upgrade with (just around 50-80MB estimating it on the time it took for it to dowmload the update).
My understanding is that I should download the full version from sammobile and upgrade through odin.
But need someone to tell if the Kies version is fine to upgrade with, since it will save me a lot of bandwitdh and a lot of time.
Another question is if I update through odin then what will happen to the 2nd rom will it be accessible if I flash Siyah kernel again.
Kies may not give you an update on non standard Samsung firmware .
