Ask your phone supplier they supply the updates .
Or join XDA Developers and flash stock firmware .

If you want updates you wait for them to be released by your phone network .
Or you join XDA Developers forum and flash a stock rom .
Stock XDA can help KIES or OTA updates its better to try your networks forum .

This is firmware versions and you could normally expect that the newest (highest number) always is the one to bet your money on ^^
So XWKE7 is the latest firmware upgrade?
How come kies shows I'm up to date with firmware XWKE2?

There is nothing wrong with your new baby...
What you experience now can be compared to the feeling you could have if you suddenly thought there was something wrong with your new chick and everybody else had an upgraded and better one..
Relax and chill down.. Your new girl is just fine ^^
What you could do is to ask yourself if you want to tickle her under the “hood” or wait for the official fix every new girl will get later anyway..
If you would like to be hero or not is up to you…
It’s not like this is climbing Mount Everest or something,,,

Hello, I have a 2 doubts: my samsung galaxy s2 is factory unlocked. My first question is: how to see the current firmware into my phone? - Where I can find the latest firmware (XWKE7 - to update via Odin) ?
The second question is: To overclock my samsung galaxy s2(factory unlocked) is necessary and required to root your phone??.
Thanks, regards
so, shall i take it that these are not official updates ?? If so, i am relaxed. But forgive me for the question but i am only a blond girl ).. : i am reading that there are many updates after my version.. and why i am told on kies that 'this device will not get the update.. and at the same time they say that there ARE new updates.. And one more question : when i get ( if I) my update, will it be to the next version .. or it will be to the last one? because my version is very old ... ( xwdc) Thank you for the answer in advance ))))

The answers to your questions takes about 10 seconds if you use the "search" function, something that I politely recommend to you as a new poster - it will make everything easier for you. Why not start now?

These ARE official updates.
This all depends on your carrier. If you are on O2, for example, you will not yet see KE7 in KIES as it hasn't cleared with O2 yet (probably).
What you can do, and the instructions are in the 'Development' section of the forum, is remove the O2 branding from your phone. Your phone is then just 'generic' i.e. it hasn't been modified by O2. This means you get the updates as soon as Samsung release them!

But you may no longer get them via Kies .

Update path one official via Kies requires the phone provider to update the firmware from Samsung and upload to Kies server . Kies update is to latest version phone provider has uploaded .
Path two are Samsung stock roms that we flash ourselves via Odin .
As this may debrand your phone it may and i repeat may effect the warranty from the seller but not Samsungs warranty .Two the upgrade path via Kies may be closed and updates are now stock roms via Odin .

thank you for the answer. I bought my phone from Amazon . uk. , unlocked.. how could i know who is the phone provider???

Its probably generic then you try Kies for an update .No update on very old firmware i would try Samsung Service centre .

:-(( what if my phone is 'generic'? does it mean that i will never get any update ??.. And i really tried Kies.. but i was told that there is no update for my device... Please tell me what does ' generic' mean?.. sorry to be a nuisance .. but i am new at these ...and want to learn ... Unfortunately there is no samsung service in our country .. Anyway, thank you for your answers ))

It's not listed on Samfirmware anymore as all there new releases will be uploaded SamMobile.com
Ok, I get that flashing a firmware from samfirmware.com can change your CSC code.
So far I've been very careful to choose only OXX/TPH ROMs as this is the closest match for my phone (unlocked, Portuguese edition) - but Kies still somehow knows that my firmware is unofficial.
What the heck does Kies check to discover whether or not the firmware is official or unofficial? anyone have any tips? is it the IMEI number?
Is there any other problem that can come from flashing a firmware that doesn't match whatever internal value for CSC that the phone thinks it is?

Sorry for a bit offtopic but how to do for downloading at Twitter?
Well, just installed to test (CM7.1 will probably be back on my SGA soon though!) and it does indeed seem to resolve the Virgin (and Orange and T-Mobile UK?) SMS with 3G problem. Sent about a dozen now and all have gone where previously I would maybe get 2 before it stopped working. Don't want to be hasty but it's definitely looking promising. Cheers! (",)
Same here - seems to have resolved my problem sending SMS with packet data switched on. T-Mobile UK BTW.

I need some help. I'm trying to go back to stock on my GS3. It is unbranded and I flashed this ROM: United Kingdom 2012 August 4.0.4 I9300XXBLG8 I9300OXABLG8
Whenever I connect to Kies it says that this device firmware is not upgradeable through Kies. Then I put this code in my dialer, *2767*4387264636# to check the product code and nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong here? FYI, this device was bought from someone who was given this device when they were sent to the olympics as a Samsung blogger.
Thanks for any help that y'all can provide.
I am a newbie to ..
But i think just download the stock rom for s3 on update.samsung.c*m or so ..
Find your regional ..
And download odin for window / mac
Just flash it ..
And wipe cache and factory reset
I think just those.. i do it once and succses .. lol

I thought so. I'm not really wanting to update to another firmware per se. The message in Kies is throwing me off. When I google the message I find most of the info says that the product code and rom do not match.

Two points really Kies may have no update and product codes may not match firmware on the server . Thats due to you changing them in part .
This is XDA and kies is not a product we use .

Yes, the firmware seems to be the last official update from samsung,

So I got the phone from uk - not tied to any carrier and I see uk got the jelly bean update but I have nothing.
Also a question: I rooted the phone but didnt install roms or anything, will that be a problem for updates or not? Also I am not from uk.

Think problem is that your csc says that you are not living or bought your phone in UK.
Do you life in UK because update via kies is only availble for people with an ace II from UK!

Yes i live in the UK and bought the phone from EE, factory sealed.
If you google my CSC you will see its for UK EE network
Thats really weird maybe you should contact samsung support on facebook or via samsung live chat ( quickest way )

The last possibilities are sending an e-mail to samsung or visiting a samaung service center or flash fw via odin but i would be carefull if i would flash it via odin because your gb fw is branded with EE right and the JB isn't so you could have problems with sim card detection or mobile internet.
Or you wait for one to two month for more jb fw for ace II because there are every 2-4 weeks one to two new JB fw .
So using Odin isnt recommended?

I would wait for maybe a newer better version of JB because yet jb don't runs smooth and has many ram problems
I'd rather get it soon if i can...
