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.

Hello,
This being my first Samsung phone, I'm a bit in the unknown, as far as official software updates are concerned.
I know that Kies is the tool to use if you want to stay official, however, when I tried it on mine, I got an "this version of the device cannot be updated". I'm currently running a variant of XWKE2 (PDA: KE2, PHONE:KDJ, CSC: KD4 (VVT)), which I've have bought it from a carrier here (Bulgaria -> Eastern Europe), it doesn't appear to be excessively branded, or at least has no logos/apps that would indicate this. And it seems that XWKE7 is the current official release.
Now, my first question is, why am I getting this message. Assuming Samsung is providing different updates to different parts of the EU, shouldn't I at least be getting a "You are running the latest version"? Will I ever get an official update, and will I have to wait for all of them?
Now, I'm considering using Odin to move to XWKE7. But I'd also like to receive updates via Kies, and searching through this forum is giving me mixed results on whether using Odin breaks this. Some people say that once Odin is used, the path to Kies is closed. Since those are different conversations with different contexts, I'm not sure whether the same answer will apply in my case as well.

A very good post and some very good questions. I debranded my phone recently but since doing so I can't seem to update to KE7 in kies as I expected to. I wish I'd never bothered now as I've not really gained anything. I just want to update to KE7 to make the most of improved battery performance. Is there a way to do this via odin?
Just flash the XWKE7 ROM through Odin?
It doesn't really matter if you get official updates or not, within 1-2 days of an official ROM being released there is usually a repack of some sort posted here.
my 2c
But does that mean that if I flash the KE7 via Odin, I will never again be able to upgrade via Kies? Or will I be able to work with Kies again, if I find and flash my particular firmware (which isn't present in the list here, so I won't have it)
Then maybe root it with CF-Root, and do a nandroid backup of everything?
Don't know about Kies not working, it shouldn't matter I would think....

Micksta, if I want to flash the XWKE7 Rom through Odin do I have to be very particular which one I use? My phone was purchased online through a 3rd party company. Even so, it was locked and branded to Three. Since debranding it my firmware now shows as PDA:KDD / PHONE:KDH / CSC:KD1 (XEU) in Kies.
Kies wont now look for updates as a result so it appears I wasted my time.
Any info on where I can find the right XWKE7 rom for my SGSII would be gratefully received.

So what you're saying is that regardless of the region from where the phone was purchased, or to whom it was originally branded, if we use the XWKE7 update with the XEU CSC, Kies will still work afterwards, and I can get future updates from it?

No the updates from Kies depend upon the product code on your phone .
Kies finds that product code in firmware bank and updates if later.
All i can say is some claim to upgrade firmware of a flashed stock rom via Kies . I have never managed that in the last year of trying .Update with original product codes yes stock never .

Updating this with an answer to my question, in case anyone else is wondering.
After flashing a stock samsung fw with a different CSC (mine was VVT, I picked XEU), unless you do a factory reset, the CSC will not change.
At first, Kies displayed the same message, that it couldn't update the fw on this phone. I removed it's registry entries for my phone, and after that it said that the phone was up-to-date. That may not be necessary however, since on another computer which was also connected to my phone at some point, the Kies automatically recognized that the software was up-to-date.
All in all, Kies will recognize your phone for future updates through it, if you flash a stock samsung fw with Odin.

Hi Micksta,
I have problem rooting my SGS2 (PDA:KF3 / PHONE:KE7 / CSC:KF1 (DBT). Do you any idea how to do it? I tried using Odin/superoneclick but no luck. superoneclick hangs.
Thank you.
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 .
jje
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.

Look in the thread in my sig for the Indian firmware.
Hi There,
I purchased my SGS2 outright from O2 UK and I'm on a pay monthly SIM-only plan with O2. The phone came loaded with the stock O2 UK firmware and whenever I connected it to Kies it would recognize the firmware and say that the current firmware is up to date, which was fine. Since then I have played around with rooting my phone, installing different mods and installing newer stock samsung firmwares to try out Android version 2.3.4. etc.
After all this playing around I wanted to be sure that I could get my phone back to the standard O2 UK branded configuration in case I ever needed to send it in under warranty for repair. I hunted around on the internet and found a website with a link to a copy of the official O2 UK branded firmware which was a tarball called: I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR. Using odin I flashed my phone with this firmware and now my phone starts up with the O2 logo and everything seems back to normal, except when I connect it to Kies. I know for a fact that the O2 firmware I'm now on has been superseded by newer releases from O2, but when I connect to Kies, it says:
"Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: I9100XWKDD/I9100O2UKD1/I9100XXKDH/I9100XWKDD"
I'm guessing that there is something else on my phone that I need to install/flash/change for Kies to start recognizing it as "Official". Does anyone know what this might be? What is it that Kies looks for on your phone to work out if it supports upgrading it or not? I am running the latest version of Kies.
I have attached a screenshot from my kies to show you what I'm talking about and a screenshot from my phone to show you software/firmware versions it is running.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

I have got two recommendations for you:
1. Have a look at http://fus.nanzen.se/ to get Check Fus Downloader and check what the latest official firmware for your phone and region is.
2. Got to Intratech's Carrier Branded Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 to get the carrier branded firmware you want/need to flash using Odin.
If you do not need a carrier branded firmware (Kies does not need a branded ROM on your phone), you can also check Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 to get the latest official and un-branded firmware flashable via Odin.
See second post of his thread.
If you flash a stock ROM for your region, KIES should recognize it again.
Good luck !

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your recommendations. I downloaded Check Fus Downloader which I was then able to use to download the latest O2 UK firmware, which, as it turns out, was only released yesterday and uses android 2.3.5.

I have the same issue, when i upgraded the Stock firmware. When connect to Kies, message popup is "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: ...XXKH2"
I have reset to factory format my SG2 9100 (watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzDb6m7sQ7A&feature=related). After that when i connect it showing current and latest firmware..
I did exactly the same as the OP. I just flashed back to the latest carrier firmware and Kies still does not recognize it but I don't really care.
My question is: if I send it to warranty, is there any way they can see I have previously installed other official firmwares from Intratech's thread? I have never rooted it, only installed official firmwares.
Thanks.

Samsung honour official firmware for warranty does not matter if you have reflashed as long as the firmware is stock and custom rom counter is zero .

Hello,
I upgraded my galaxy S2 to the SFR (France) ICS firmware I9100SFRLP7 by using CheckFusDownloader. It works but unfortunately my mobile is still not recognized by Kies. The message "your device does not support software upgrading via kies" is displayed on the screen.

Any idea ? If the CSC is not correct, what is the correct one and how to change it ?

You can use a XEU Firmware or the O2 UK Firmware, check the Firmware-Thread here in the Forum =>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I also have the same problem. I have bought my phone in Switzerland and live in France. I bought my phone on my own (it is not included in any contracts). Can I just take XWKJ2 Firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and tick PDA, Phone and CSC in Odin to reset my phone and have it working with Kies?
Easiest way is use an app called "checkfus" from the market. It's free.
Basically checkfus can search the same servers as kies does and find the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Then go to intratechs official carrier firmware thread and download the version that checkfus told you was the latest for your carrier.
Flash this via Odin following intratechs instructions.
Use a USB jig to get rid of any flash counter. Sets it to official firmware with 0 flash counter.
If you want at this stage you can do a wipe if you don't want any data on your phone.
At this point your phone will be as if you just unboxed it. kies should work and everything.
Hope this helps.

I want to know if there is any way for me to find out what my original firmware was. And is there a way for a service center to check if the firmware matches the imei or serial number?
As long as its official Samsung firmware(and probably for your region) what do they care.

Kies has this option build-in. Just select initialize device from menu or something like that, than enter you phone serial number and model name and voila.
It will tell you what original factory firmware was preinstalled and even flash it if you like.

Wen i searched it in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 I saw quite a few firmwares from poland. Tried XXLPQ and XXKI4. But the default language came as English UK . I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. I am confused with which CSC should be used. OXA or XEO .
Is there any chance to find the stock firmware with IMEI and S/N

can you kindly check for me, wats the official firmware for my phone.
Thanks and Regards.
Allrigt I will check this but don't publish your IMEI here. PM me.
Poland have XEO code. But if phone was branded than it can be operator's code (IDE - Orange, TLP - T-mobile...)

Thanks man,
Now i am sure its XEO , its unbranded, international version, bought from amazon.com
I'm sorry but Kies can not initialize this phone. This could mean that your phone was not branded and you can flash any official XEO firmware if you want to repair it in Sammys Service Center.
You can flash 4.0.4 immidiatelly with Odin or, if you feel that you absolutly must use Kies to upgrade (don't know why) than flash official 4.0.3 (XXLWP) it is stock for XEO region and after that change your CSC by dialing service code *#272*IMEI# (IMEI - your IMEI number). From pop-up menu choose XEO. Phone will be wiped and new CSC will be set. You can check this in 3e recovery (yellow information text at the bottom) or in Kies - there should be (XEO) at the end of the line with current version information. Than you can upgrade to 4.0.4 via Kies or FOTA.

Hi all I was wondering if I could get some help, I have installed Kies and tried to search for a update but I get the above error, I am in the UK and my phone is on the 3 network, when I first had the phone I updated to a custom ROM but then I changed back to what I thought was the default ROM which would allow me to use Kies but I get this error, can anyone help please as I want to sort this ASAP so I can update to the official ICS

Once more .
Phone codes no longer match >> Kies cannot find firmware for mismatched codes .
use checkfus to download the firmware .

Hello,
I upgraded my galaxy S2 to the SFR (France) ICS firmware I9100SFRLP7 by using CheckFusDownloader. It works but unfortunately my mobile is still not recognized by Kies. The message "your device does not support software upgrading via kies" is displayed on the screen.
Phone Info:
PDA: I9100BULPC
PHONE: I9100BULP6
CSC: I9100SFRLP7
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help.
@ red_Stafford.
You can update to official ics even without kies . Download the official rom and flash via Odin. It would save you time

Thanks for the link but I've used CheckFusDownloader to get the firmware. But still not recognized.
English translation from the guy that cannot write according to the forum rules and must be year one at skool .
Your Product Code is under the battery .
Its worth repeating methods of updating .
One official via Kies when an update is available only .Providing your phone presents the correct hidswver codes to match a firmware on the Kies server .
Two join XDA Developers forum and download stock firmware as soon as its released .
As oft repeated mix and match may not work and its rather pointless choose your path for up grades and stick with that method .Probably more time wasted trying to go back to Kies from stock than any other .

Ok so I don't know where else to ask I need help, for some reason after I updated to the latest ICS, I can no longer tether my phone to my computer via usb, Bluetooth, or wifi as a hotspot. I have tried different computers and devices that use wifi and Bluetooth nothing works. So I thought maybe if I reverted back to the original firmware I could get it to work. That is the where I come to a new problem Kies no longer supports software upgrading to my phone after I used Odin to update to ICS.

Have you updated your phone with official ICS firmware through ODIN? Have you checked the drivers are properly installed? I updated my phone having Saudi Arabia gingerbread firmware with ICS India firmware recently..... after seeing your post I checked the USB tethering, it is working fine......below 2 drivers were installed when I started tethering:
1. Samsung Mobile USB composite device
2. Samsung Mobile USB Remote NDIS Network Device
Also, I had same problem with KIES not recognizing my phone, but it was resolved itself after I did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache (you need to take backup of your data before you do this, as it will wipe all user data like contacts, messages, applications, photo, video etc).
Please check
Thank you for responding, after I posted I kept searching the internet and found a ICS update from last month for my phone, I wiped my phone and gave it an install and so far it seems to be working, this was the 2nd ICS build I found tonight. I am happy it works.

ICS is flowing down through Kies right now to my Skyrocket. The error that the device didn't support upgrading is nothing at all. Just make sure you're on stock.
Woo Hoo!!!!
Your Device's current firmware version is not supported to update FW via KIES..
Hi.. I'm using a galaxy S2 I9100..
My current FW version as shown while connecting to PC via KIES:
PDA: LPT
PHONE: LQ6
CSC: LPA(XEH)
But while checking directly on phone using the code *#1234# everything is appearing as same except the CSC.. Using this code in the phone, my phone is showing the CSC as I9100 XEU LPA.. Means my phone's CSC are not coming same on both.. So, is it the reason that my phone's current FW is not supported to update FW via kies??
If it's so.. Then, how to resolve this problem??
