you can't update when your using a test release, you will need to flash stockrom first, and then you can update trough kies again.. the official firmware's you can find at samfirmware (google it)
follow your usual rom guide's on how to flash, sammobile provides with guide's themselfs too
best of luck mate.

[Q] can I retun back to my official 2.3.3 firmware

Hi friends....I have GT I9100,,I flashed it via Odin to Android 4.0.3,but now I can not update firmwares via Kies,can i return back to my original firmware 2.3.3 to be able to update officially to android 4.0 ? thanks sorry for my language
Of course you can pal. Just download your 2.3.3 ROM and flash via Odin, simple.
Just do a Wipe after flashing as you are downgrading.
or if you made a nandroid backup before flashing your new ROM, then you can just reboot to recovery mode and restore your backup there.

If there is an upgrade from 2.3.3 for where you live, yes. But it won't be 4.0, that hasn't been released officially by Samsung. Will be 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 if your operator has those firmwares.
Some countries/operators are much slower in releasing upgrades.

Download and install your update manualy. See item 2 and 3 in my signature on where to get it and how to do it. Uninstall Kies ( it`s a piece of crap ) exept the drivers.
It is still possible update via kies?

Yes if you want, but there is no need anymore to use Kies, if there is a Kies update it will also be available on Sammobile to download and install
I second this "Kies SUCKS"
.....have not used it since my Cappy days.

One Kies will only update the product and codes shown if their is an actual update for them . Wrong codes = no update . Correct codes but no update for them = firmware not updated by a vendor .
Do you have any proof that LH1 is available for your phone and whatever codes its showing Kies .
LH1 can be downloaded via CHECKFUS if its available for your phone .
More information on Kies try a Kies or Samsung forum .

Sorry mate, I am newbie. What do you mean of correct product code?
I have checked the firmware which i flashed is matched with my country original firmware.
The most updated firmware in my country is LH3, I flash leak rom(LI2) before, and now I have flashed back to LG3(my country previous firmware), but kies said my LG3 is most updated rom and it means KIES does not show latest firmware. It should be one more update. I know I can flash updated firmware via odin3. I want to solve it, because 4.1.1 stock rom will be available soon.

You could flash it via Odin, or alternatively flash your stock ICS rom again and then update via KIES (just don't root before using KIES)
EDIT: KIES or OTA
Rooted and on the stock Jellybean 4.1.1 firmware from Samsung. thank's for the advice, I'm a expert now lol.

[Q] Android newbie. Need a simple help.

Okay first of all as the title says, I'm new to the android OS. I successfully rooted my I9300 4.0.4 by reading and using the toolkit 5.0. So now I'm rooted with stock ICS. My question is, will I still be able to update into jelly bean build LJ4 via OTA or Kies? Will someone please enlighten me on this one. Thanks in advance.
Friend i think when we root ota update is blocked.but yes you can update it via Samsung kies.but you will loose root .
Also you can get yourlatest firmware (jelly bean or whatever) from samfirmware and flash it.

OTA: no
Kies: yes but you will loose root, hence re-root
Sammobile: download and flash via Odin, you will loose root, hence re-root
Sammobile: download and flash via Mobile Odin, you can keep root (pro version)
Hey thanks for the quick response for the both of you. Will try on kies first then sammobile if I'm not succesful. Will be any complications regarding your suggestions? Are those firmware from sammobile official?

yes, sammobile has official versions as well as leaks (marked with a orange sign), hence make sure you get the correct version.
There is also a neat guide to flash a rom in the stickies incl. a video.
Also you can try an option called "ota survival" in super user app.
But it do not works for all devices.

Can't Find Working I717UCMD3 Jelly Bean link

Hotfile has apparently been taken over by the US Government and I need a copy of the official att I717UCMD3 jelly bean for my note. I'm stuck at the moment and without it I'm toast. Does anyone have a working link (aka not hotfile) of the att i717?
Try kies for the official 4.1.2 ucmd3
I am looking for the Stock ROM as well. Can I use CWM recovery to flash the Rom downloaded by Kies? Thanks

Kies will update your device firmware and software. Modem and rom. The latest official update is 4.1.2. It will reinstall the stock recovery and remove root too. You'll have to re-root with twrp or cwm again using odin and a pc.
I think www.sammobile.com has a downloadable and flashable rom if you register.
Yep. Hotfile has been shut down. Sammobile uses Hotfire so there are no download links reupped yet.
