I upgraded my firmware through Odin to KE7 with the XEU CSC. But when I attach the phone to Kies it tells me that the CSC is still my network in the brackets after the code which has XEU.
For example according to Kies my CSC is: KD1 (MET) but I was expecting KD1 (XEU).
I did perform a factory rest after changing the firmware and the CSC per the phone states XEU when I check it using the *#272*IMEI# code.
How do I get Kies to recognise the CSC as XEU?
Kies can only read the codes on your phone .
Once you start putting stock firmware on a phone Kies may not recognize it again as codes no longer match database .
Spoof Kies may help search or look in market .

Ok, so I'm from the Philippines and I have i9100G. Each time I connect my phone to computer and open Kies, it says
YOUR PHONE DOES NOT SUPPORT UPGRADING VIA KIES.
I searched online and here in xda they said just change your CSC (sales code) so I checked mine and it was INU
I installed stock firmware DZKL3 and Chose GLB for my sales code, still the same. Connect to kies and it says DOES NOT SUPPORT UPGRADING VIA KIES
I changed my CSC to XTC and it's still the same message. I don't want to try them all cuz everytime you try the phone will wipe itself.
Hi there, got s3 from 3 uk network, my phone kept saying this device is not up-datable though Samsung kies so i flashed lg8 firmware , i then changed the csc to BTU and everything was fine phone was seen as up-datable through kies but now when i go on to get the modem update thats out it seems kies is detecting my phone as H3G again, GRRRR.
I downloaded csc select app from the play store and it is saying that my product code is BTU but kies says H3G , any advice for me to keep it BTU ?
Cheers
How do you figure the android's original firmware?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III, i9300, the international version. I modified its firmware long time ago without backing up the original firmware.
Since Samsung has updated its devices with newer versions recently I have decided to go back to the original firmware so that I would be able to update my device via Samsung Kies but it keeps telling me since the firmware has been modified updates are not available for my phone.
I have access to MEID and IMEI numbers and probably some other numbers that are listed on the same page.
Is there a way for me to figure out what was the original firmware using those information? I purchased it on ebay and the seller is not listed anymore so there is no way for me to ask the seller.
Even with flashing a new rom, Samsung Kies still tells me that it won't update it because of firmware modification.
When I go online on SamMobile it is showing me different versions of i9300XALE8 or i9300ALEF but how do I figure which one was originally mine?
Thank you.
you can force kies to update your device. be advised that if you ever used a rom with an mg4 or mg2 modem or newer that you may not be able to connect to your mobile network after upgrading through kies. to force an upgrade you need to start kies with your phone not connected to your pc. next go to firmware upgrade and initialisation. enter your serial number and model number. put your phone in download mode and then connect to pc with usb cable . kies should then upgrade your phone to the latest firmware for your region. If you lose network connectivity or have an issue with imei. you may want to flash an mg4 or mg2 modem. this should get your network back.
Model Number

It keeps asking for the model number which is: GT-I9300 and every time I enter it, it rejects it and says: "please check the serial name and enter it"

If You are sure that you have GT-I9300 then load the newest Firmware for your Region from sammobile and flash it via odin
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Which firmware?

I purchased it via ebay as an international version. There is no way for me to figure what region it belongs to. The only thing that I remember is that when I got it, and started it, the default language was French which is being spoken in many countries.
When I go online on SamMobile it is showing me different versions of i9300XALE8 or i9300ALEF but how do I figure which one was originally mine?
You don't need the original for the device. You can just use the latest for your country / region.... then get updates locally.

I just bought a phone on ebay. unlocked samsung galaxy s3 sgh-t999. It's supposed to be brand new and was in the orig. box. But the build of the firmware is ZS and in kies it says
PDA:EMC
PHONE: LK3
CSC: EMC (CHN) <- CHN I presume is China
also my android is 4.1.1 and I would like it to be at least 4.1.2 preferably 4.3
but of course OTA doesn't work because of the country code. It says registering device then processing failed.
I've tried to flash using odin but I get aboot error with some roms and in some versions as well as sbl2 error with some roms and some versions.
and my phone in download mode says it's an I747 -- the at&t model. In gs3->settings->about device it says its a sgh-t999 which is what it should be.
Kies says the firmware is up to date. arg frustrating.
Everything about this phone works except for updating the firmware.
So I asked for a replacement...which I got today. Same stupid problem, not only that, but this one isn't recognizing my cut micro sim. So if it's between the 2 I would like the original one since it recognizes the sim.
I have read that I can change the country code, but I do not want to root the phone since I want it under warranty.
what should I do to update my phone?
Thank you for any and all help
