Hi All
I rooted my handset but then decided there isnt much out there at the moment for me in terms of custom ROMS so i restored a stock rom. I am now seeing a message "This version of the device cannot be updated" in Kies. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? Im running the latest Kies
Thanks
Kies updates product /firmware codes that match whats on the server . Requires your phone provider to have uploaded newer firmware than you have .
If you put a Samsung rom on the phone = no matching product/firmware codes .
Your Kies upgrade path is now closed ..

How so? this is now the third time I've seen you post this. Surely this only applies if you have flashed a custom rom. not stock.I flashed mine to KE1 via odin, but updated to KE2 through Kies. So what am I missing? Are you talking about the 'missing DLL' error? I did have that on my desktop, but kies worked fine on my laptop.
What is the easiest way to get back on track with Kies? Would flashing an older official firmware work?

you need to follow the debrand guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
basically you need to set the CSC to XEU in order to update via KIES

Third time more like three hundred .
Kies updates branded firmware via product codes hardware id and firmware id .
Hundreds if not tens of thousand who have installed Samsung so called stock firmware through Odin have received the no upgrade message from Kies .
Thats why Spoof FW was invented otherwise no need for it .
Its also why Kies has never given me an upgrade path since flashing stock rom via Odin .
Now i know one or two on SGS have managed to upgrade after stock rom but most are reporting no upgrade ( well you anyway ) .
Personally if some one is going to do something that may affect their warranty or change the update path or whatever i would rather tell them than not .
Stock rom Ke2 and i will test yet again via Kies when KE3 is out .
SGS2 bought sold SGS 1 running stock firmware No repeat no upgrade path through Kies until flashed original O2 rom and thats like two weeks ago .

Only Updated via Kies
Hi,
Only had my phone a week and have not done anything custom with it, it has updated twice through Kies in 1 week per request from Kies itself, today I go into Kies and it also says :
"This Version of the Device cannot be Updated"
Current Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
Why has Kies had no problem two times in the last week and is now saying this, has something gone wrong in the phone ?
Yesteray it just said the Latest Firmware was Installed ?

It cannot be updated to a firmware that does not yet exist .
You have latest firmware therefore it cannot be upgraded .

I get this message to now on KE2 (O2 firmware) before I upgraded the message used to always Current and Latest firmware. I def think its a Kies problem.
Cheers Guy's
Was just yesterday it said ;
Latest Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
Current Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
and today the Latest Firmware Version is replaced with that error message, so assumed that there must be another update out but now the phone will not update it ?

It's giving that message because the firmware (KE2) has been removed. Your phone has a version of FW higher than Kies knows about hence it tells you it cannot be updated, wouldn't make sense otherwise. Once Samsung release a new FW I expect it to return to normal.

Just downgraded to I9100XWKE1_I9100XXKDJ_I9100XEUKD1 using ODIN and Kies now says this is the "current version". Looks like this is the way back to kies updates if anyone wants this.
All sorted again, today KIES is reporting ;
PDA:KE7: PHONE:KE4: CSC:KD1 (XEU)
a big jump from ;
PDA:KE2: PHONE:KDJ: CSC:KD1 (XEU)
This version of device canot be updated
Current firmware version : PDA:KD9 / PHONE:KD9 / CSC:KD9 (XEO)
:/ I bought phone before 2 days wtf is that ?
I have the same no update possible - its stock untouched.
My details are: PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KD5 / CSC:KD3 (DRE)
May be its because they pulled all updates until the new one is out (hope so)?
Hello guys
PauloJ5 can you send me your KE1/KD5/kd3 firmware?? pls
That's a problem™ of Kies. Change the Product Code to a valid one (see your box for that) from all X in Registry Editor. It worked for me.
Regards.

KE2 is O2 UK latest firmware .
Kies updates when the network has passed an update and loaded it to Kies .
Thats an if and when not a must because its released by Samsung .
If is if they decide they want to when is whenever .

Have a look at the xda bookmarks link in my sig. In there you can find both official and official branded firmwares. Instructions on how to install are in the 1st post of those threads.
Dear Members'
Sorry for the question but what you mean by non ginger bread firmware on galaxy? The firmwares that i am flashing on it via odin are original stock firmwares downlaoded from samfirmware.... and the latest versions so they are gingerbread.As they are original stock they should be accepted by kies and must let kies to check for new firmwares and install if there is a new one.
Could you please enlight me.
The phone was original and boxed as i bought it , and as i sad it was able to update via kies until i flashed it with new ones from smafirmware.

Kies cannot update a phones firmware for a number of reasons in your case KH3 cannot be updated until ||Kies has a later firmware on its server .
jje
Dear Jjegan;
Thank you very much for the answer , but its seems to be like my explanation was incomplete and not detailed.Kies not mentions that there no update for the current version , it just says sometimes this device can not be updated and sometimes just shows the pda\modem\ version and no more info.
Thanks for help
you would basically need to use a older firmware that completely wipes your phone and return to at least 2.3.3. which kies will recognize and use a official branded firmware.
Kies has not sent out an official upgrade to certain countires that will recognize 2.3.4. It is just starting its roll out, I believe by the end of the year kies will recognize 2.3.4.
Dear CosmicBlue
Thanks for contribution but my previous firmware was 2.3.3 which was also downloaded from samfirmware.com and flashed trough odin , and still was giving an error indicating this device cannot updated via kies , and sometimes was showing the version of the csc modem pda and nothing else , so as you explained normaly in 2.3.3 in must say already latest version ....
I need a version where kies finds the phone and says already latest version and update if finds new release , normally i like to flash via odin but after all flashing all data is wiped and tired to configure eveything again ,and dont want to use backup.
Kind Regards.
you would need to go back to an older version of the firmware say an xkf1 and let kies upgrade it to the latest version which i believe officially is xkg5.
Thank you very much CosmicBlue , could you please guide me from where i shall download the official rom samfirmware.com maybe?
Kind Regards.

Hi,
As far as updates from odin go if you update with a Intratech non-wipe higher version of stock ROM (say XXKH3) from a lower version stock ROM (say XXKF3/G5) the data remains intact. I'm running the non-wipe version but did it when I updated from KF3 to KG5 as i had the same misconception. Somewhere in the forum it is discussed if you revert back to an older version of a ROM then you need to factory reset / wipe the data down.
Cheers
Dear Digifort;
Thanks for the contribution , as you mentioned i was running a full Rom also that wipes all the data , i was not aware that there is a non-wipe version , so now i will download a stock Rom from samfirmware a old one , flash with Odin and connect to kies after will look if it will update to current version.
Kind Regards.

First you stop double posting.
Second, you just turn off the phone, hold the power button till the phone shuts down. After that, you hold the HOME + VOLUME UP + POWER button till the Samsung Logo pops up, then release the POWER button.
When you see the Samsung 3e Recovery screen (TEXT IS BLUE), just select WIPE DATA, RESET PHONE, whatever it is called. Then reboot. You are good to go.

HELP
I have the international S3 GT i9300 and have been waiting for the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update. Being the impatient person I am I got bored and download the 4.1.2 Touchwiz ROM for my phone and flashed it with Odin without root. However, now as the update is near, I'd rather have the official version. So I'd like to revert back to 4.1 so I can get the update. Kies is saying it isn't compatible with the firmware but is this because it isn't out yet? If its going to always say this, and it will affect later updates, how do I go back to 4.1 without root? Or will I need to root? On the other hand, if this wont affect anything and will be the same as the official, then shall I just keep with what i have?
Thanks alot
Restore your exact saved original firmware .
Or restore it from CHECKFUS .
t isn't compatible with the firmware but is this because it isn't out yet
No you no longer have Samsung firmware that matches the codes .
Root has nothing to do with updates .
Simplest would be to read the Guides .

Thanks for the help
Hi There!
I was wondering if the latest firmware updates compatible with any of the SGS3 GT-I9300 devices?
The one I currently have right now has:
Android version : 4.0.4
Baseband version : I9300XXLFB
Build number : IIMM76D.I9300XXBLFB
And I am really planning to update this device to the latest Android version 4.1.2 but I cannot even update it at JellyBean through the Software update of the phone itself.
I really need your help guys.
Compatible yes .
Best no but that just means you flash a different modem .
cannot even update it at JellyBean through the Software update of the phone itself.
>> you can only update if their is an update for your phone >>>>>

Oh really? Didn't even know that. I thought that "Software update" updates the phone to the latest Android version. Anyways, I usually go to SamMobile for updating the firmware of my other device. Could I choose from any Country/Carrier listed to obtain the 4.1.2 update for this phone?
Up. I just would like to follow up this thread.
My questions are still left unanswered.
Any help would still be appreciated.
Still, follow up. I just need an answer.
When I use SamMobile to update the firmware, Could I choose from any Country/Carrier listed to obtain the 4.1.2 update or does it require to be from the carrier's release only?
Because there are instances that it takes a very long time to get the latest updates in my country and I really wanted to upgrade my Android version as soon as possible already.
Yes. I too had that same build number and baseband. From what I found, the region for that firmware is either United Arab Emirates or Kenya. I downloaded from sammobile.com the firmware for my country philippines. No problem at all, update 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. HTH
