I got the Galaxy S2 from UK.
The firmware version is
PDA: I9100XWKE2
PHONE: I9100XXKDJ
CSC : I9100OXXKE2
Build Info: Friday May 6 07:48:55 KST 2011
When i connect to Kies, its says that this is the latest firware. Saw in may threads that KE7 is the latest.
Please help me install without using Odin.
KE 7 has not been rolled out by all providers yet .
Product code defines update ..
You can wait or use Odin .

No...data and settings will not be erased....enjoy...
Thanks guys.. it worked.. Only one problem i find now..
KIES is not detecting the phone..
Is it because i installed the UK firmware in India ??
EDIT: It detects the phone.. But shows,
"This version of the device cannot be updated"
Product code no longer matches firmware on Kies server or their is as of yet no update .
jje
Flash one more time to get your csc replaced with ke7 version.
Where do i get the CSC file from ??
Any link please??

Hi guys,
I have a question, maybe is stupid, but I have searched on the net and I could not find anything to clarify my question.
My Android version is I9100XWKI4 / I9100XXKI1 / I9100DBTKH1. So a ROM (2.3.4) from Germany.
When I try to update the ROM to 2.3.6 via Kies I get always the message "No update available".
Do you have any ideea why Kies doesn't find the newest version for my phone?
thanks
Try Check Fus. Google it for info.

You have the newest version for your phone note your phone or the codes on the phone do not match any on KIES server due to flashing .
Its your phone provider that updates the firmware to KIES as and if they want and some are well behind the later releases and unlikely to update further until soon expected release of ICS ..

This is not Samsung ask them when you get an update .
If you bothered to search answer is updates rollout slowly .

Hi, today January the first my old and venerable Galaxy S2 alerted me that an update was available and I accepted it and the process went fine. The version update is now the 4.1.2.
My brand new S3 international version (Amazon bought) and unlocked has alerted me more than 6 times there was an update available, I did the same as in the SII and accepted all the messages, the phone rebooted and the Android logo appeared and below there was a percentage bar showing the process update advance, when it got to the 32 % the logo changed from standing to laying with an red triangle with an I at stomach level over it and the phone restarted.
When finally the reboot finished a new alert opened saying software update and thats is all.
My phone actually is running Android 4.04 and also my old S2 has a later version.
I also tried through Kies and the program was unable to do the update.
The phone is unlocked and rooted
What recommendation can I get to update it
Best regards.

You can't update becouse phone is rooted as you stated above. You should unroot your phone (use search, you have tut here on xda) and than run update.

You dont need to unroot. Just update via kies or download your firmware from sammobile.com and flash with odin. your choice.
I would recommend that later one.

Again here, have just tried to update the phone through Kies and got the following :
Model name : GT-I9300
GT-I9300 does not admit initialization
Error messages capture.
View attachment 2488009
View attachment 2488010,
It is in Spanish but I translated it, and there is another error message :
The device does not admit software update through Kies
Actual Firmware version : PDA:LH3 / PHONE : LH1 / CSC:LH2 (XXX)
Just another thing before I rooted my device which I also did with my S2 I tried also to update the phone manually and through Kies and always got the same errors.
What do you think would be the best way, I read somewhere there was an update but if this was applied I could not apply later any custom ROM and probably I could also brick the phone so I am worried about this.
Regards and waiting for support,
Thor Hedderich
Sorry, I thoght I was in the right forum

Read post above sammobile./com
Dont use Kit Kat its not released for I9300 and you have not enough knowledge to flash custom roms .

You are right but in the past I remember I used Odin and managed to update my SII, which ROM it was ? Cant remember but I do remember I followed step by step instructions I read in XDA, now I am also subscribed to this email list which shows how to update a custom ROM in SII , would you give me your opinion ?

Your posts are confusing .
# to update a custom ROM in SII
#, I read somewhere there was an update but if this was applied I could not apply later any custom ROM
STOCK firmware roms are flashed via Odin see faqs and guides .
See stock rom threads .

Your phone won't upgrade OTA because its rooted however it will upgrade via Kies rooted or not. That error message has nothing to do with root.
If you use KIES choose TOOLS > FIRMWARE UPGRADE & INITIALISATION. This method is a deep clean method which will require you to enter phone serial number and imei to ensure your phone is legit for your country of upgrade and is registered with a network.
It will take a while but will upgrade to the latest FW for your country, completely wipe the phone and remove root.
