Did you connect it to a PC and ran Kies?

What is your firmware.

You have an SGH-T989. This is the forum for the I9100, a different device.
Go to the T989 forum.

go to sammobile.com and search for your device's update.. luck if there's already an update from your carrier

You might try to uninstall KIES, reboot PC, and the reinstall KIES again.
Sometimes it behaves weird because it's crappy stuff IMHO :cyclops:
I have already done that but it still says the same thing

Ok.
Dial *#1234#, and post everything you see here. I suspect your CSC is unknown

CSC must be seen by Kies. Check what version it see in () at the and of the line with current firmware version information.
If it is (XXX) than it is unknown. U must know that current firmware must match to any stock firmware 'composition' (correct PDA, CSC and PHONE). You also must have stock kernel installed.

No software upgrades via Kies ??

He guys
After reading a lot I am still looking for an answer !
I'm running JB stock rom on my SGSIII (btu) , the official polish one , downloaded
from sammobile. I can still connect to KIES, but it tells me; your device doesn't support software upgrades via KIES.
What can I do to change this ????
Thanks for answers in advance !!!!

It's because it's from Sammobile, not from Kies. If you would have flashed it via Kies, it would still say your device supports (etc. ...)
I think ur phone is rooted n your device status is modified. Now you will Samsung has changed update checks. No modified devices will be able to get update.

That's just the thing. It WAS rooted and it doesn't say it's modified (anymore).

Cut and Paste Kies no update .
Rom is not for your phone .You now present Kies with wrong phone and firmware codes .
Wipe phone and reinstall your original saved firmware .Or download it from CHECKFUS .

Kies doesn't support updating my device.

Hello.I flashed a firmware using odin because I was having wifi problems(I'm not having this problem anymore).Some days later I realized that I couldn't upgrade my S2 via kies.When my device is connected to kies I see a message "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies".
How can I solve this problem.I would like to upgrade to official Jelly Bean when it comes out.

thats because the firmware u have installed doesn't have the correct 'CSC Code (Consumer Specific Country Code) of ur region in it
do please find some third party app in store, that can change the CSC code for u, and then try with 'KIES' it will wrk
PS- changing CSC will wipe all ur data, hence do make a BKP before proceeding

IMO updating via kies was more complicated, taking much time & pc resources than Odin3 1.85 as latest stocks ROM should be downloadable at sammobile or samsung-updates.com

Four hours after idiots stop asking XDA when will they get JB update and not before .Twenty third repetitive Indian to ask this question today and not search .
F44444 all to do with XDA this question ask Samsung or your phone provider .

Yes it is out. It will be available on kies and ota. If you're impatient check sammobile to download and flash it. Use CSC as INU.
Mods can please close this thread.

How would I go about fixing this then? And you say wrong firmware but how can this be when I put my countries firmware onto my phone?
