lool but i cant retur cuz not in the same country nw
but i heared that way is the solutio for upgrading the fake ones instead of sam. kies !
Use "FIrmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" of the newest version of Samsung KIES instead of odin.
Try finding the model number and use Google search see if their is any solution .
You can try flashing firmware from here but this is I9300 firmware and not fake I9300 firmware .
But as said its a fake XDA cannot help its not an I9300 .

I remember you kheles...
You are the one who posted about having only an internal memory of 512MB.....
Since your phone is a fake one, I think you won't be able to update your phone via odin....
If I am not wrong, odin is for genuine Samsung

So I got this phone from eBay, marked as new. Works great. But now I have acouple questions.
1) My firmware right now is XXKDH. Is there a firmware update for the phone through Kies? Everytime I connect it, on the status screen it leaves the "Current Firmware" field blank.
2) Upon activating the Samsung keypad, and turning on the XT9 function, I found the XT9 suggestions to be empty. Is there some way to fill in all the auto suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I don't need to return the phone to the service center. It works fine, I just want to know why Kies is not showing any firmware updates for my device.

That could be it, as I am using the international version/UK version of this phone in the US on AT&T.
Here is what happens when I do plug in the phone to Kies. All drivers are properly installed too. The Firmware field remains blank, as if it can't find the firmware version.

Hey Guys!!
i am well aware that many of you have posted and replied to threads regarding subject above and also have seen/read many and also tried my level best to resolve my issue but still i am unable to restart or Recover or update my cell phone. Admins please help me as i am new here and hoping some humble and kind replies from senior as well as junior members. please dont shout on me as i am very much depressed what i have done to my Samsung Galaxy S-II already.
My Android was running 2.3.6 version and i tried to update it to jelly bean by using Odin and Android 4.1.2 XXLSR Jelly Bean firmware for Galaxy S2 I9100G ( Dont know whether my cell has letter 'G' in the end) and all was going well but in the last Odin said its Failed. for ur kind information i followed the procedure to update my 2.3.6 to Jelly bean using he guidlines given in attached image below.
Now my SII is stuck and keep showing this message only that Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again..
I am new and dont about kies and how to use it and whether it will work in my country (i.e. Pakistan).
Also i am unaware how to reflash, Boot etc (terms that i have seen in other similar threads).
I know i am asking for much but feels that this forum has some extraordinary developers too. Thanks in advance. Please reply if any1 has some solution.
usually it happens when flashing already in progess and already flashed some of the files to phone but fails on other files.
try open ur phone backcover and remove the battery.. look for the model number there(u will see it at the back of the phone when u're already remover the battery)
after that download the right firmware for your phone axcording to the model number and flash it again.. see if that fix your problem..

on back its shows Model as "Model : GT-I9100"
I tried searching firmware for above and following page (snapshot atached) has some latest firmwares to download for my GT-I9100 but i am not sure about what region firmware i should download. Whether i should go for XFM or any other region. I live in Pakistan please advise whether Region also is an issue.
firmware region is not an issue.. basically it was almost same as other firmware, only with diffrnt modem configuration..

Okay then!! Let me download one and check whther it solves my issue or otherwise. thnx buddy
Further u said in earlier reply that "download the right firmware for your phone axcording to the model number and flash it again"
Please tell wha is flashing. If i am not wrong, what i did with my cell in first instance using ODIN that caused me this problem is called "flashing"?
Sorry i am new in android world and unfamiliar with these terms.
Take it to a service centre.

question.. for example if my handset region is Vietnam, can i use a firmware from Philippines?
If you have i9300 then you can use any firmware, irrespective of country. Baseband is a different matter, some won't work at all in some countries.

thank you for your response ... what firmware region can you suggest for me... since i do not know what is the original firmware of my device... im in the philippines.. i try some firmware but if i upgraded to a higher version thats the error i got... even if im using the philippine firmware.. the only works perfectly is the firmware from europe GT-I9300MBDDBT.
I can't, as I'm not from the Philippines, try the latest full stock rom for your region at sammobile. If your keys stop working after then you have a hardware fault.

Go to sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com and chose your region ,or read the thread that deals with Philippines in General section .

thank the honest answer... last one thing...it is a hardware failure even if firmware 4.0.4 is working great in my device? the only problem is that when i upgrade buttons are not working so i downgrade it again... but anyway thank you for your time...:good:
4.0.4 is a bad firmware that will cause SDS, it's more likely you made an error, didn't wipe properly or had a bad download.

sorry if this quesion has been asked before but ive been searching all over the internet and have not found a single way to update the galaxy mega to kitkat [the international version not att or sprint] all i have found is the russia thing but im in the U.S also im using T-mobile if that helps . How can i update this phone to 4.4
Hello bro,
Please just go to settings > about device> software updates> check for updates. You need to be connected to the internet for this . If kk has been released in ur area , then it will be downloaded and installed on your phone . Hope this helps .
Don't forget to press the thanks button !!!!

It means Kitkat hasn't been released in ur area. But , to avail kikat you have to wait a little time . If the other areas are having kitkat , then you will have have it too . Just wait a little bit .
If you want to flash the complete firmware you always can always look in Sammobile site. There are several there from I believe 4-5 difference countries for your phone GT-i9200. Pic the one that belongs to you.
