[Q] Kies does not show firmware - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just unrooted my phone Galaxy S3 and install original rom for my country.
Everything is fine except kies does not show any firmware information on firmware section..
Why this happens and what can I do for this?
Thanks

I had that as well after reflashing a backup. I reflashed the stock rom through odin without a wipe and it worked fine after that.

it is possible that your csc doesn't match to your firmware. you can only make kies updates if phone, pda, csc match together.
if this is not the reason you can try to uninstall, clean your registry and install kies again.

ICS won't load

Hi everybody,
since yesterday I try to flash the P7510XEULPH ROM on my GT-P7510. Unfortunately, for no I ended up having to flash an 3.2-ROM (XWKL1) which in Kies now says I am not allowed to update. CSC has been changed to NEE, and I actually don't know what CSC I had before (coul have been SEB, I'm not so sure). However, any attempt to flash the XEU-ROM ended up stuck in writing the "system.img" - and nothing else would happen. For the flash I use Odin3 v1.85. Can anyone give me a hint as why it doesn't want to load ICS to the tablet? Should I go for "Re-Partitioning" (which I didn't have the guts to do)?
thank you

Flashing different country's pda

I have done this by mistake in the past using odin but I can't understand why it didn't work.
I have now a phone from Australia apparently and kies is not very helpful. I already have the BTU ELLA update but I'm not sure if it would work flashing that with odin. In the past it didn't work and I had to reflash the correct update.
Am I supposed to flash more than just the PDA?

No, just place the correct rom in PDA and flash it. The phone however has a specific sales code and if the installed firmware differs from the device`s country code Kies will not support updates. Only if you have the correct regional rom for your S3.
Thanks.
In the past I had used a BTU Tom instead of the vodafone specific on a i9300 and it had lost the notification bar and touzhwiz crashed.
Once I installed the vodafone specific rom it went back to normal.
I have now come across the ELLA update on a Australian import s3 and just flashed it with kies. Trouble I have with that now is that the bottom shortcuts somehow are stuck and wont be replaced. I will try and reflash the rom tomorrow with odin and if it doesn't work I'd like to try the international version of 4.1.2.
Did you wipe your device after flashing the firmware?
Some carriers do only than little modifications to the device and may cause incompatibilites with the standard roms.
How do I do a complete wipe?

Go to settings, backup and restore and do a data facory reset.
Ah you mean a factory data reset.
When I do that the australian version adds 2 apps which are easily removed and I cannot see anything else there. I also have another issue.
Odin 3.04 does not see my phone. Only odin 1.85 can.
But even that version says that the md5 file I downloaded from sammobile is invalid.
I am going to try this with mobile odin
Right
Tried the btu version with mobile odin and again have the same issue. Notification panel is gone and the touchwiz doesn't work properly.

You have to reset after you flashed the rom. Did you reset the flash counter with Triangle Away?
Update
Retried the btu md5 but selected to wipe data and cache from mobile odin pro.
It seems to be working now

[Q] Help with CSC issues

I all,
I am having problems with the CSC on my wife's SGS3. She was sent a German version S3 (twice) as a replacement for a damaged phone from her insurance company.
This has a CSC code of DBT
As the CSC list (using *#272*imei#) only contained DBT, I flashed the phone using odin with official LLA-JellyBean (CSC-Code BTU) so I could put it as a UK handset.
Now when I plug it into kies i get this:
YOUR DEVICE'S CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED TO UPDATE FIRMWARE VIA KIES
CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION: PDA:LLA / PHONE:LLA / CSC:LLA (DBT)
(Cant remember off hand what it was but it wasn't LLA prior to the flash)
I have tried all i can think of to correct this.
When i run the *#272 thing it comes up:
USSD CODE RUNNING
then:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION
I have tried the Samsung Galaxy S / S2 /S3 CSC app from play store, again I get message when I run it:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION
I have gone into recovery mode and get the following (in yellow beside the droid icon):
#MANUAL MODE#
--APPLYING MULTI CSC
APPLIED THE CSC-CODE: DBT
SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED MULTI-CSC
I have also tried WIPING DATA CACHE and FACTORY RESET from recovery mode
None of this has made any difference, (all done in the order as I have listed it above) please could somebody point me in the right direction before I pull out what remaining hair I have left.

I have tried this but the flash failed. I have also tried to re-flash the LLA version I had put on previously
Odin says the COM Port cannot be opened

Thank you djembey. Rather than uninstall kies and risk losing backups (couldnt be bothered to find files and move them) including for my own S3, I ran the flash from my wife's laptop. I plugged phone in first so drivers installed then phone flashed successfully.
However the CSC has remained DBT even though I flashed the BTU version

I think there is somewhere a thread with flashable csc packages or you could try the csc changer app (will format your phone though).
This might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080181

[Q] change CSC?

hi guys i want to change my CSC back to btu (uk) ive downloaded the latest uk rom and flashed via odin but its still the same can anyone help please
thanks
If you have flashed a full stock BTU then you should be able to go into recovery and it will reset for you.
You might then have to do a factory reset.

ODIN doesn't change data, so settings are kept, even if the CSC changes only a boot into recovery will activate the change.

Bricked Galaxy S4 GT-I9506

***Problem Solved***
Hi experts,
My Galaxy S4 GT-I9506 is bricked with this error:
image 1 (attached)
It doesn't go to recovery mode anymore now!!!
First I tried to install custom Rom to root it with Odin, it did seem fine with "green pass" but didn't actually install any recovery mode (there wasn't any install option in recovery mode, there were only update options), nothing happened to phone at all and it worked normal.
Second i wiped the phone and cache and I download the firmware from Samsung website.
and after try to install, it failed in Odin:
Images 2 & 3 (attached)
I'm not sure but I think it was a wrong firmware, because I bought my phone online (kogan.com i think it is in Hongkong) and I downloaded the Australia Vodafone firmware (as I'm using Vodafone sim card).
anyone can help me?!
I should mention that phone doesn't go to recovery mode, failed in Odin, Kies can not fix it! the drivers all are up to date and no Antivirus runs in my PC.
Please someone help me.
Thanks & regards
Tesius

Open Kies and go to the Tools menu and click on Firmware initialization, enter your model name and serial number(under the battery). It will get you back to stock firmware

did u really read my post?
failed in odin, kies can not support the device, no recovery mode...
Make sure your firmware downloaded right, because it is saying it is corrupt. (redownload and rerun Odin).

Tks - I have tried many ROMs from different counties (other ROM or even Kernel, etc...) and upload does not seem to work in ODIN. When you find the right country ROM, did it suddenly work in ODIN?

yes, there are different operator in one country, first u have to find out in which operator of which country your phone is supported, then download the ROM from sammobile, make sure of using last version of Odin, and maybe it takes longer than u expects, for me last about 9min to get the Pass sign...
i had the same problem..so try downloading GT-I9506_501_Stock-Recovery_XXUDOF2 that file from internet and extract..and then flash it using odin..it worked for my s4 gti 9506...
