Kies will let you update only on it's latest version, it used to tell to update Kies first to perform the firmware update.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.

If it is in Samfirmware, then just download it from there. But if you MISSED warnings in Flashing and if you havent your ORIGINAL FROYO even in Samfirmware, then you can BLAME ONLY your self. Sorry!
CHEERS!

Hi,
So i updated my galaxy s2 firmware to latest indian firmware available on this site. (Plz check attached screenshot).... all went well & the battery life has improved aswell.
The problem is kies does not like odin software updates so in future i will need to depend on these sites for firmware updates... which somehow i dont prefer.
What i want is offical firmware for galaxy s2 (India) which kies will recoginze... can any one help me with the link...
Thx
You are on KF3, which is the official latest firmware available for India, so why would you worry? You are fine enough to receive updates via Kies. Just connect your phone to Kies and it will say, 'This is the latest firmware'.
Besides, you can download official firmwares from www.samfirmware.com OR from Intratech's thread here under Dev section.
Regards.
Well, this may help. What you already have will be recognized by Kies because its stock.
It says "This version of the device cannot be updated"
(Check screenshot)
why does it says that.
Any helps guys ????
"It says "This version of the device cannot be updated""
So what have you done to deserve this? lol.....
Jokes apart, why did you update from Odin if you wanted to update to a Stock Rom (KF3)only? You could have left your firmware untampered if you wished to update via Kies only.
Obviously the KF3 which you have flashed via Odin is not exactly the same as the one that comes from Kies, otherwise why would it say, "This version of the device cannot be updated"..........or maybe it means the same as "this is the latest version"? Now you will be able to confirm this only when a new firmware update is available in India via Kies, which should be soon.
Guys I can use this firmware(see screenshot below) right? As mentioned in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
That one is the official Samsung firmware right? Samfirmware.com still shows KE8 as latest for India, so I am a bit confused.
Kies shows the update is available but I cant update using Kies, it is a real pain. So want to download the official Samsung firmware and then update using Odin.
Thanks.

You need to go back to the OFFICIAL STOCK ROM OF KE8 first. Then after that, you will be able to update to KF3 via Kies.

I am on the Official stock ROM of KE8. And Kies tell me that the update is available(KF3). The matter is I don't want to update using Kies, because of the bad experiences in the past. It half-bricked my phone twice while midway in the update process. And it always drops the connection while downloading the firmware. I no longer want to use Kies.
So what I was asking is that, in the screenshot above, that is the official samsung firmware right? I want to update my firmware using Odin not Kies.
I hope you understand.

R3Y, is Reborn4U also your id? From the conversation that has gone on in this thread so far, it certainly seems both are your ids. If they are, then I'm sorry to say that you're contradicting yourself so much that you are not making any sense! First you posted (as Reborn4u), "What i want is offical firmware for galaxy s2 (India) which kies will recoginze... can any one help me with the link...". And now you are saying, "So what I was asking is that, in the screenshot above, that is the official samsung firmware right? I want to update my firmware using Odin not Kies." .......... Do you see the contradiction in both these statements?
Anyway, I'm assuming your last statement to be true that you want to update firmware using Odin and not Kies. So if that is the case, then why do you care whether you have the official samsung firmware or not? If you want to use Odin only, then forget Kies.....why do care whether Kies will recognize your firmware or not! ........ The latest official Samsung firmware for India is KF3. If samfirmware shows KE8 as the latest official firmware for India, then they are wrong!
So after all your confusing statements, my suggestion to you is to upgrade to either KG3 or KG5 which are available on XDA forum. You will also get Android 2.3.4 with them which you don't get with KF3. And if you want to use Odin, then forget about Kies completely. Cheers!
Sorry to disappoint you but no that is not my id. Now when you are confusing yourself thinking that is my id and combining his and my questions and making all kinds of assumptions yourself, I cannot help.
I never said I care about Kies. My question was simple, I want to flash my phone with official samsung firmware using Odin and asked whether the file in that screenshot is official samsung firmware or not.
Thanks for you help(If any)
I have better things to do than making useless double ids.

R3Y, the confusion was created by you mentioning "that screenshot". I thought you were talking about the screenshot posted by Reborn4u. What you had posted looked more like a Copy-pasted text than a screenshot, hence the confusion. Also, your question is the exact opposite of the OP question......but still, sorry for the confusion. My mistake.

Yes, don't know why Samfirmware doesn't include the KF3! Anyway, download from here,

Yep wait for it.
I was looking for a fix for the crackling issue when i saw people talking about updates. I thought is was weird because i haven't gotten a single update since when i got it in mid june. I tried to update with the phone but it can't find any, kies says that updates aren't supported with my device and i even tried a restore and that didn't fix it either. Please help.
What firmware are you on?
android 4.0.4
baseband i9300xxlef
kernel's date is may 22

You are already having the latest firmware available for SIII
If you still want to upgrade to Leaked JellyBean 4.1 Firmware, Here's the link

But what about the small ota updates? i saw people writing about fixes for the audio and also news about samsung releasing updates. Were those official updates or something else then? And why does kies not support updating my device?

In what country do you live, you probably have the wrong firmware for your country?
Go to this website http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and flash the rom you need with Odin 3.0.4. If you have a US model you`re in the wrong forum.
Do not flash the leaked jellybean rom, not suited as a daily rom yet.

you can install Check Fus application and check the availability of updates for your firmware, if you are on stock firmware.
you can find all the regional wise firmware details here too : http://fus.nanzen.se/
So I decided to un-root and use kies just to get an 'updated' stock version instead of my current 4.0.4 version and I get this error message:
"your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies"
Looking on sammobile, the latest stock version for my csc they provide is 4.0.4 so apparently I'm screwed.
Is there a workaround to get the 4.1.2 stock version for my phone?
Details:
I9300-XXBLFB
CSC: I9300OJVBLF3
The reason for this is NFC seems to be broken on this version (as far as receiving files go) and I wanted to see if they fixed the issue in the updated rom.
You have to change your CSC.
Can i just flash an XXEMF6 ROM from sammobile via odin?
Or will this cause issues?

Thats great news! I'll do that instead.
As far as I know, Samsung released an update for every version of the S3 (except mine) to JB 4.1.2.
Didn't even realize it until now as I've been flashing roms for 2 years now- about 2 days after I got the phone.

Go to sammobile website (try to use Google if you don't know the link), find the firmware for your phone, download it, download Odin if you don't have it already, then flash using odin, be careful about which regional firmware you flash, or else you might have no network after installing.
For downloading and instructions on using Odin please use the search option in the forum, detailed steps are given by many helpful people.
Hope I helped.
