I have a Bell Samsung SGS II GT-I9100M that I sim unlocked. (it's not rooted but permanently sim unlocked)
When I first got this phone I tried to install an update through Kies and it didn't work. Anyways I had this phone on the side ever since then and I barely use it (yea sad I know).
Currently the phone is running Android 2.3.3, Baseband I9100MUGKG2, Build number GINGERBREAD.UGKG2 and under KIES it says I have the the latest firmware version which is PDA:KG2 / PHONE:KG2 / CSC:KG2 (BMC)
Anyways I am sure there is a new update but no matter what I do I can't install it.
I tried right-clicking on my device in KIES and the Firmware upgrade option is greyed out
I tried under tools and pressing on Firmware upgrade and initialization and it says
'GT-I9100M' does not support initializing.
What do I do? I would like to update to the latest firmware. I am pretty good with android although I am not familiar with Samsung Devices.
Please help, thank you.
try getting a stock rom for your region through fusdownloader
then reboot into download mode, start odin 1.85 add the downloaded rom to pda (this step actually is explained a lot in this forum so look it up if you are not entirely sure what to do ;P )
then flash the new firmware, should work just fine
cheers

The Bell ICS update isn't rolling out until tomorrow, according to MobileSyrup... here's a copy of the leaked bell memo from their site..
Since you have an unlocked sim device which belongs to other network service provider so kies will not update it as you have some other sim..so the best method is choose the stock rom as per you region from www.sammobile.com and then flash it through odin.

He has the proper bell firmware. The actual software update isn't being released until tomorrow, hence the reason Kies can't find the update.
Hi Guys,
I'm a little bit confused i cannot get any updates via Kies or using OTA , i bought my SGS II from Kuwait and currently i'm in Egypt , i changed the CSC to Egypt once to solve this problem but it's the same my firmware info is I9100JPKJ2/I9100JPKJ1/I9100XXKI4/I9100JPKJ2 (xxx)
Any advice?
Thanks
I am not sure if Android 4.x is already out for the "M" version.
Hi, I am trying to update my Unrooted, Unmodified S2 to 4.0.3, but Kies comes up with the message 'Your Device does not support software upgrading via Kies.' I am with the UK Provider O2, on their Pay as you Go service. My CSC code is 'O2U'. The Kies version I am using is Kies 1.3.0.12062_4, which seems to be the latest version for the Macintosh Computer OS, even though it is under the download page for Kies 2.0. Can anyone help? If this isn't the latest Kies (Mac) version, where can I get the latest Mac version?
Thanks in advance.
I got my UK Three network S3 some months back. I put stock ICS and then JB on it via odin. I know it doesn't matter as I can use odin, but kies will not update my phone. My wife just got an unbranded S3 and it updated hers to JB with no problem, so it can't be a problem with kies.
I thought by putting stock firmware on mine it would unbrand it and render it the same as my wifes. Why won't kies update it? I am also worried the OTA updates won't work for me either as a result.
Phone is presenting wrong codes or codes that have no update .

I downloaded th ICS firmware from sammyfirmwares. Why would it be like this? Does flashing not change everything on the phone? I would have though it would end up the same as my wifes phone.
Recently i rooted my phone from official Indian 4.0.4 Firmware to Rooted 4.0.4 Firmware.
After some days i tried to Un-Root My S2 to Stock Firmware but couldn't get Indian Firmware so I downloaded another official firmware(Dont know which country) From internet and using Odin i set back to 4.0.4 which is also an official firmware but not India's given official firware.
Now my problem is when i connected to Samsung Kies it is showing connecting but after waiting for several minutes it is not connecting and displaying a note like "Samsung Galaxy S2 connecting failed".
Before the rooting of the device it used to connect directly without much worry and i also know the basic settings of connecting mobile to kies .
Now i am thinking that If the firware of some other country was installed in the mobile may also stops connecting to Kies ???
If so,
I wanted to get the latest rolling out 4.1.2 Jelly bean firmware through kies but i am unable to connect to the kies
Please Help Me,
The Details of the official firmware(Downloaded From Internet & Not Indian Officially Given Firmware) are in the Screen Shot Attached to this Thread....
if you can aslo help me with the official indian 4.0.4 firmware given on kies
Go to sammobile.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active GT-I9295 (international version) and I recently unrooted my device so I can update my OS. I try to update my OS as I'm currently running 4.2.2 but when I check for updates it notifies me saying "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" and looking at the status of my phone, it says its "custom".
I want to be able to fix this and update to KitKat but I don't know where to start or what firware to choose. When searching the database on SamMobile, I came across this ( sammobile.com/firmwares/download/34604/I9295XXUCNH2_I9295BTUCNH1_BTU.zip/ ) but its the UK version (I live in the USA). Does it matter what country I select for the firmware? Do I need to match the PDA, CSC, or MODEM codes to my existing phone/firmware of that from the link? Will this brick my device or am I clear to apply this using Odin? Sorry for probably the very basic questions but Im very new to these kind of things.
