Is it possible to apply updates through KIES after flashing official firmware via odin? On my GT- I9000 I could not. I flashed some relatively new firmware though and I'm from Finlad where I suppose we don't get updates as often. Or is it necessary to have country spesific rom flashed? Of course could download same rom as it ships with as a back up but where to get the right csc for finnish region. In multi csc packages wich I have applied to my I9000 i use oxa or xee or xeu but with those I get an error in KIES not allowing to update my phone.
Kies will detect the installed firmware anyway and it will tell you if there is an upgrade. Doesnt matter if you have a custom rom or not.

But what firmware should I install to get the kies update? And i guess it's about the proper csc wether kies allows to update in my region so anyone knows where to get all possible csc files?

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 .

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.

Thought so.A csc is not carrier based its country based.For example Im in Spain and in use FOP on any network,KOR is korea standard and so on.You can flash a firmware with a multi-csc if that firmware is official in those countries.If not you get the csc for the valid country only.If you go to the link below you will see a list of all official firmwares.If you go even further below to the "FRANKENSTEIN SECTION" you will see more firmwares and a list of CSCs.You can flash a Frankenstein FW,factory reset your phone then if you want flash any of the CSCs you see there and do another factory reset to complete it.In my experience its not a good idea to flash another CSC to an official FW so thats why its best to choose a Frankenstein one which are just the same,just pimped-up by XDAs intratech.The other wat is to flash a custom ROM that has a multi CSC pack built in.

thats what i thought so i used the firmware in the link above i then did a factory reset so kies would see it as if i done it vis kies. Kies then checked for an update and none was found but then when i went to change the csc i only had xeu.
Dose anyone know when/if 2.3.5 for xeu will be out i dont want to flash again
because i just got kies to work with the firmware im useing
Kies wont work from the CSC you on your phone.It will search for the latest update depending on the product code of your phone and if you flash a non-official firmware then it will say that the firmware that you have cannot be updated.If you want the official 2.3.5 then you need a factory unlocked SGS2 as they are usually the first to get updates and dont flash it with a non-oficiall FW.Flash a custom ROM if you wantIm on KI4-KK5 2.3.6 cos I have a custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468
it is unlocked to all networks it unlocked when i flashed it with 2.3.4
Kies reads a specific registry key to get the phone details like
I9000ADJP6/I9000O2UJP3/I9000ADJP3/I9000ADJP6
If Kies tries to match firmware to the above codes it would fail .
As per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089874&highlight=hidswver
the Check FUS post allows direct downloads
or spoofFW may allow you to download a firmware from Kies by spoofing codes .

Its just that you said you de-branded it.I took that as a locked phone that you have unlocked with a flash but that wont change its product code.
ah im with you now how can i unlock it so the code can change?
it was on t-mobile 2.3.5 is out now for t-mobile but kies is saying im up to date not sure now how to get get 2.3.5 but so kies still works
on my mums galaxy s her sales code was cpw i changed it by *#272*IEMI#
changed to xeu it then had an update to 2.3.5
CPW CSC is the best for the UK as it covers more networks .

i did try CPW but still no update and this one http://www.multiupload.com/QROGHPRZVK made my anti virus pop up when my mums one was set to CPW it would not update till it was set to XEU also CPW is still on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread http://devsrom4android.blogspot.com/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmware-updates-via.html

Dont worry to much about the antivirus coming up.Thats just the way your antivirus or firewalls is set.Happens every now and then but its not a virus so just download it anyway.Happened to me a few times,mostly when the file is an md5 file and not a tar file(both go in PDA in Odin too so no worries there).As for Kies I guess its a matter of flashing a compatable firmware that Kies will recognize for the update as normally it wont recognize non official ones.Or a custom ROM if you cant wait.
CPW CSC is the best for UK networks as it covers more networks .
It has nothing to do with updates its only the CSC file that contains multiple network configurations more than the XEU csc does .
CSC is not actually required to use the phone .
SpoofFW might be worth a look from the market .

Hi guys.
I really need to return to swedish stock firmware on my GT-P7510 but I can't find it anywhere. The csc on the original firmware is NSE. Is there anyway to mess with kies to upgrade it to original NSE. Or if someone has tips on how to get swedish stock firmware back I would be extremely grateful.
Best regards, Martin.
Go to samfirmware.com and the Swedish rom should be there?
Will have to be flashed through Odin, if you don't mind a non-Swedish, but official Samsung, check this site:

No the firmware isnt available on sammobile. Maybe it would work if igot the csc-files for NSE and then update it OTA? But where do i get those?
I assume the celtic region covers Sweden? Last I checked it was covered under that.
Im currently on an UK-firmware and tyis is not right. The swedish one comes with some swedish bloatware. The uk one i have installed is 3.1. If i could only change the csc to nse instead of xeu as it says now I probably would get the rigt firmware OTA? i remember there was an 3.2 update OTA when i bought the Tab. Am i wrong with my theory, or you think it will work?
Flash a celtic region via Odin.
By celtic you mean?? Because i have flashed the uk/ireland firmware with odin and this doesn't contain the NSE csc.
Does anyone know where to get hold of csc files for either NSE or NEE?
Shouldnt they be included via SIM pack? Most sim's come preloaded with the carrier's APN and such
No. Those files are region codes in the samsung firmware. These files make the update-server decide which fw to send to the phone/tab.

But that shouldn't matter as sooner or later the ICS release will be one general update, It would be like IOS firmware, one general firmware for all regions. Region wise can be determined via IP Address as far as I know. When I had my tab flashed with a malaysian region firmware *Bought it online* as soon as It reached Middle East (where i received it) the update was available via Kies for Middle East update, and not the Asian firmware one.
Then again, why the hassle of kies, Odin for the win. Flashing different regional firmwares since 2007
Hi, I have flashed my S2 19100 from gingerbread to ICS via odin, when I go to change the CSC code to UK there is only one option which is KOR how can I put more options on my mobile so I can change it to my region. So I'm just wondering if it's possible to add an additional country to the Regional Settings, quite frustratring as Kies see mobile and I can do everythin on it except update firmware, not too bothered anout Kies I just want to know why and the CSC seems to be the only thing left to try - that is changing it...
thanks in Advance.

Hi there,
I have a phone bought an unlocked phone from Romania, and I've tried various roms and kernels for 1 year.
Now I want to sell my phone to a friend, but he wants to have the device being able to be updated through kies (he doesn't want custom roms, stock will do for him)
The problem is that I can't get it to be recognized by Kies.
What are the prerequisites to make a firmware to be recognized by Kies as an official stock rom, and after that to be able to update the phone via Kies?
I've tried different firmwares from sammobile, but didn't get neither to be Kies compatible, so please help me.
Thanks in advance!

first, do u know the firmware u had on ur phone when u bought it. since that would be a very usefull info to proceed
second try downloading a firmware from sammobile pertained to Romania flash the same thro ODIN and see
Unfortunatley not, when I've used the phone for myself, I didn't plan to use Kies ever (useless bloatware) and I've flashed so many kernels and roms that I forgot about
Now I can't get it to be an unlocked international version. I will try right now an Orange firmware from sammobile, but I was wondering...do I need to flash a diffrent CSC or stuff like that? I don't know at what Kies looks to validate a phone being eligible for update or not.

its the CSC which makes the diff, when KIES tries to recognise the phone
so after flashing any stock rom u can always change the CSC pertained to ur region, so that u will not have issues with KIES
I've flashed an Orange Romania firmware and the *#1234# command returns this:
PDA: I9100BVLPB
PHONE: I91000BVLPB
CSC: unknown
How can I get the correct CSC for Orange Romania? I've understand that its code is named ORO.
Help on this is really appreciated

After reading and trying diffrent firmwares flashed with Odin, I've found that all the files that I've needed pda, kernel, csc were inside the damn filme I've downloaded from sammobile Luckly I also had a linux virtual machine to cread some separate flashable odin packages for each component, pda, kernel and csc. I've learned this from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
Hope this info helps others in my previous situation
Now the phone is recognized by Kies and just updated to the latest firmware available for ORA (although a few reboots and wipe were needed before Kies actually recognized this device)

The reason why kies is not recognising your device is because the CSC code is unknown.
Use this app to change the CSC code to your country/region : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Note that the process will wipe your phone so please backup your important data.
