Hello,

I also tried Kies but it says that my phone does not support software upgrades via Kies.
My phone info:

Any help?
Thanks !

Maybe you have to change the CSC code by typing *#272*Device IMEI#
but be attention it will do factory reset

Please dial *#1234# and post the exact result. You could also use Check Fus just to see what it suggests your latest firmware should be.

[Q] CSC issue after ROM upgrade

Hi,
I'm new to Android and Galaxy S2. My phone was purchased in Spain from Vodafone.
I have just upgraded my ROM as per Intratech's guide (thanks by the way for the nice gude). The upgrade went good but after upgrae Kies shows the old CSC and says it can't update. Is this expected? I thought the CSC was supposed to change to the generic one.
I used ROM XWKE7 from the guide. After upgrade I get the following:
Doing *#1234#, I get:
PDA: I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Doing *#272*<your IMEI>#, I get
ATL
In Kies it shows:
PDA: KE7 / PHONE: KE4 / CSC:KD1(ATL)
- Can someone please clarify?
- I'd also like to know if after this I still have to do something else to unlock the phone to use with a different provider.
- I was hoping to leave the phone as unbranded so future updates will be picked up through Kies.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Debranding is not unlocking .

Kies updates branded phones .

[Q] Check Fus GT-i9100

Hey there everyone.
First of all, thanks for taking the time to help me with my minor issue.
Recently i used Check Fus and Odin 3 v1.85 to restore my GT-i9100 to stock.
This worked appart from a minor issue i am having with Samsung Kies 2.0
In my phone, my kernel version returned to [email protected]#2 (what is was before i rooted)
The baseband version is:I9100BOKD1
But the problem is, when i connect to KIES and i look at the firmware tab, it is showing complications.
This is what it says:
This device can not be updated.
Firmware Version: PDA: KE3 PHONE: KD1 CSC: KE3(kor)
Did i do something wrong?
Kies only updates if their is a later version on the server for your product code .
jje
So does that mean that the firmware listed in kies PDA: KE3 PHONE: KD1 CSC: KE3(kor) is the latest?
this is what i entered in Check Fus:
Product Code: GT-I9100HKDTNL
PDA: I9100BOKE3
CSC: I9100TNLKE3
Phone: I9100BOKD1
(Or am i because of my limited experience, seeing a problem where there is none? )
Thanks in advance ^^
KE7 latest for that info .
Not on Kies well probably due to no longer having the firmware the phone came with and codes match nothing on Kies server .
Kies updates original firmware . Stock firmware upgrade from Kies Never happened for me and as far as i am aware its not meant to . But some say it will .

You used wrong product code. It should be GT-I9100LKATNL and that is the latest firmware for that region.

[Q] GT-I9100 does not support firmware upgrade.

Hello!
I just bought the S2 White, and it's on 2.3.3.
I tried to update the software from phone, but it says, "No new updates".
I connected the phone to KIES (Windows 7 Home Premium x64),
& it says, "GT-I9100 does not support firmware upgrade."
PDA: KE7
PHONE: KE4
CSC: KD1(H3G)
Can someone help me please to update it ???
(I don't understand why KIES says that my phone does not support firmware upgrade :S)
Maybe it has been flashed an unsupported version firmware.
Anyway you can upgrade to any firmware you want throught odin.
Look in the forum for a guide how to flash with odin

It says it cannot be updated because your firmware is mixed for some reason, latest H3G is:-
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100NEKI1
CSC: I9100H3GKI1
faill debrand!!flash again!
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
I had a similar problem. Then updated Kies and it said that it's not possible to update my firmware!
I went to the thread with the stock firmwares. Chose the current UK 2.3.4 firmware and flashed via Odin. Totally painless and very straightforward. Then checked on my phone for software updates, non available and checked via Kies and says my firmware is up to date.
This seems to have corrected the problem.
People still use Kies?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Just looked through the guides for doing this and I can only seem to see stuff for Vodafone, 3, O2 etc. I've got an unlocked S2 that I think is running out of date software and thought I would try updating manually as Kies is telling me my phone does not support updates lol. Mine is running:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
So is my software out of date and if so how can I update it please?

OK so I have found the custom ROM for my S2 but what is the point of putting the same one back on there that is already running? The question I had was 'what is the latest version and how do I install that?'
The reason for all this by the way is that I am sick of the poor battery life of the phone and have been told that the latest version of the software improves it but unfortunately Kies seems to think that my phone is not able to be upgraded!
Are you on OS X by any chance?

Your versions are valid XWKF3 XEU, and it should update to:-
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
If Kies says it cannot be updated your product code is probably wrong.
Hello,
Kies give me the same message "GT-I9100 does not support firmware upgrade."
and shows these versions on my S2,
PDA: KF3
PHONE: KE4
CSC: KF3(INU)
It shows the same as the latest firmware versions just below.
Does anyone know when these above versions were released ?
lol I know its possible to update, but whats wrong with kies

I always use Odin to flash firmwares, but on one occasion I used Kies
but that takes too long
Won't be doing that again in a rush!

From what I can see the information "This is the latest firmware" provided by Kies is correct. If in doubt use CheckFus to get the latest firmware for your phone.
