i updated my galaxy s2 i9100 with odin many times. from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 and 4.0.3 and now im on 4.0.4. when i connect my phone to samsung kies i get this error: "your device does not support upgrading via kies" now i wanna leave odin and have an official phone with ability of upgrading via kies. i know i have to change my csc but I DON KNOW WHICH CSC SHOULD I CHOOSE???.
this is my current rom information:
PDA: i9100XWLPM
PHONE: I9100XXLQ6

Rom, which you have in phone is not for your area or you have issue in rom. I had three time the same problem like you. After reflash was ok.You have to choice correct rom on sammie.

i had been using a gingerbread middle east rom and i was not able to update via kies. i have no idea what are you talking about, i bought my phone from usa and it was on 2.3.3 and i updated it to 2.3.4 via kies in afghanistan. no matter where you are, you can always update via kies if you never update via odin.
Hmm. Maybe you try reinstall kies and try again.

I know there are a number of "Debranding" threads but I really don't want to brick my SGS2. I've not quite had my SGS2 for a week but am guessing I have an old firmware which is Vodafone branded, I want to debrand my SGS2 so I can get more recent updates but this is all new to me. I'm not new to Android as I had a Rooted and BL unlocked SE X10i but it's the differences in firmware etc of the SGS2 which confuses me.
This is my "About phone" info:
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
2.3.3
Baseband version
I9100BUKG1
Kernel version
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.BUKG2
Am I right in saying this is older firmware and if I flash it with Odin it will debrand my SGS2 and will I be able to get further updates either via OTA or Kies, is the above quoted firmware correct or should I use another??
Thanks for any help, Jason.
Anybody, please??

Root the phone using CF Root and then flash one of the many custom ROMS available, i recommend 'CheckROM Revolution'.
Thanks for the reply fella, I might try a custom ROM at a later date as it's all I used in my Xperia X10i but for now I want to keep my SGS2 stock.
I have flashed a stock ROM.
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
Now when I connect to Kies it says "Unable to update this version" and under CSC it says I9100XEUKH2(VOD) which I'm assuming means vodafone?
I even flashed a generic XEUKH2 CSC package hoping it would remove the VOD and Kies would be able to update my phone, still the same though.
Any advice please??

So after more reading I think I've found the issue, it's my SGS2's product code? (I9100LKAVOD)
Pretty sure I know the answer to this but is there any way to change the product code??

To change csc type *#272*IMEI# and it should allow you choose csc, please note this will wipe your phone, not 100% sure but I think it wipes your storage aswell so please check and back everything up
Thanks but will this remove the VOD product code so I can update via Kies??

Solved it, once the ROM had been flashed with Odin you need to do a factory reset via recovery!
I'm now running XEU CSC and Kies recognises my phone and now does not say "cannot be updated".
WARNING- A FACTORY RESET WILL WIPE ALL USER DATA, BACK UP OR DO A NANDROID BACK UP. I did an advanced data restore via CWM, worked like a charm.

Don't know why you unbranded, vodafone has the latest updated before unbranded phones, xeu is still waiting for 2.3.5

Not when I started this thread, I was on 2.3.3 and no update available. I'm happy with a debranded/unbranded phone, am running 2.3.4 atm and I'm sure Sammy will release 2.3.5 soon and if not I can either flash a Vodafone branded ROM or a Frankenstein ROM.
Typical though, I solve this and Vodafone comethrough. Sods law!! lol

Hi,
there is probably problem with your CSC. You should have CSC corresponding to your region/country and your operator. I had the same problem and what I had to do was reset my CSC back to original. There are several threads relevant to this topic.
CSC can be reset using *#272*IMEI#, but maybe you will have to find and flash ROM containing your CSC to be able to do this.
you cant use kies when youre on a custom rom as far as i know. Only works with stock samsung firmware
Kies is a Stock Samsung ROM update tool. Therefore using any custom rom besides stock won't work with kies.

You dont have to root your phone. Go to www.sammobile.com, find a stock ics firmware you want and then flash through odin.

You get update via kies. Just make sure xxlq5 isnt the one with a warning triangle in samfirmware...

LQ5 and LPM are leaked ROMs. Don't flash it. Especially you're using stock kernel.
Hello everyone,
First, I realize this is a noobish issue but after searching the forum, the amount of guides made my head spin, plus I wasn't sure how to proceed with Odin, kernel, base, build, model, choosing the correct files, etc.. so please bare with me.
My device info:
GT-I9300
4.0.4
Baseband: I9300BVLF2
Kernel: 3.0.15-687481-user
[email protected]#1
Build: IMM76D.I9300BVALF4
Version:
AP: I9300BVALF4
CP: I9300BVLF2

Haven't changed anything. No root, flash, anything. I got the phone a few months ago and haven't changed a thing, other than installing apps.
I wanted to update my phone for a while but decided to wait for the 4.1.2 update. I don't want to root, just to update. Kies has been a pain ever since my S1, always has problems connecting the phone, doing backup, so I decided to try Odin and update manually.
A few questing;
1. How do I know what firmware to download now and in the future?
2. Does every update wipe the phone?
3. What backing up software should I use that can backup everything the Kies backs up (from setting to sms and apps..)?
4. I downloaded Odin 3.0.4. Is there a better version?
Thank you very much
Use Samsung kies update, no need worry

Well I had only bad experiences with Kies. With my S1 it simply wouldn't recognize my device. Now, with my S3, I was able to backup once and since then every time I try to backup it gets stuck on preparing. Not sure I should trust it for firmware updates.
That said, if I do try, what software should I use for backup, since Kies is on strike.
Thanks again.

Edit:
If I read the info right this is the correct firmware:
GT-I9300 - France (Orange)
PDA: I9300XXELL1
CSC: I9300FTMELL1
Version: 4.1.2
Date: 2012-12-05
Regions: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
So I decided to un-root and use kies just to get an 'updated' stock version instead of my current 4.0.4 version and I get this error message:
"your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies"
Looking on sammobile, the latest stock version for my csc they provide is 4.0.4 so apparently I'm screwed.
Is there a workaround to get the 4.1.2 stock version for my phone?
Details:
I9300-XXBLFB
CSC: I9300OJVBLF3
The reason for this is NFC seems to be broken on this version (as far as receiving files go) and I wanted to see if they fixed the issue in the updated rom.
You have to change your CSC.
Can i just flash an XXEMF6 ROM from sammobile via odin?
Or will this cause issues?

You can flash any rom .
But Kies may not recognize phone and who says Kies has an update for you .

Thats great news! I'll do that instead.
As far as I know, Samsung released an update for every version of the S3 (except mine) to JB 4.1.2.
Didn't even realize it until now as I've been flashing roms for 2 years now- about 2 days after I got the phone.
