I just got a GT-I9305 and connected it to KIES to update and initialize firmware. I realise that KIES was showing "Current Firmware does not support update in KIES" when i click update and initialize firmware it replies "Initialize is not support for GT-I9305".
Current Firmware: AP: I9305XXALI9
Can i use just use ODIN to flash the firmware and will the flash counter jump ?
Another way i was thinking was to enter Download mode and use KIES's emergency restore.
Flashing official firmwares using Odin doesn't trigger flash counters.

Hi I purchase my phone to a friend that had already flashed it with odin, now I want to use KIES to upgrade my roms it is easier for me.
I heard that what is important is the csc file to change but I am in switzerland and I don't know what csc file too add to do the trick so that Kies will upgrade my phone.
Could you please help me ?
thanks
You need to install the original rom that came with phone via ODin first only then will kies recognise it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=official+kernel
you can try there to check the original for your carrier flash it with odin and then kies should recognise your device as upgradable.
Although I would suggest you stick with Odin as you can get to flash latest rom on Odin first then wait for kies
Hi friends,previously I had an official rom and it was supported by kies,after a period I flashed my phone to ICS 4.0.3 xxlpb..(I know this is un official and not recognized by kies),,when I reflashed again to stock firmware (JPKF3) using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 again the kies is not recognize my phone and it says (your device can not support software upgrading) my current firmware is I9100JPKF3/I9100OJPKF2/I9100XXKF1/I9100JPKF3 (KOR)...and I'm living in kurdistan (north of IRAQ),can some one suggest me a firmware which will be supported by kies so as to be able to upgrate my phone officially by kies to ICS in the future...I will be very gratefull...

If you have made a nandroid backup of your previous Gingerbread system, flash a kernel containing CWM recovery and restore the nandroid backup.
If you have not made a nandroid backup of your previous Gingerbread system, then you have to identify, download and flash the latest stock ROM released by Sasmung for your phone in your region.
You can use Check Fus Downloader (from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/).
After flashing the correct firmware to your phone, KIES should recognize it again.
Please backup everything important before flashing.
Good luck !
i have my galaxy s3 from orange england i unlock it and root it i conect it with kies i fine in kis a new update after this update i dont fine the cwm icon only SU icon a month after this i instal an officiel rom from sammobile i like it 4.1.2 one week after this i reinstal the same rom and now my mobile cant take updates from kies or odin and i cant root it !!
anyhelp please ????
sorry for my bad english im talking french ..
my galaxy is GT-I9300
is your device rooted? if it is you should just follow the instructions
1.hold volume up + home + power buttons to see the recovery mode
2.intsall zip from sd card (for a custom rom)
if you want the official rom just use odin
1.download odin
2.plug the device in download mode (volume down + home + power)
3.add the official rom in pda section then click the start
if you think u have a u should be clear
Not sure what you mean by odin updates. Odin doesn't do updates. You find a rom yourself and flash using odin. I'm pretty sure kies doesn't let you update rooted phones.
I suggest the same as above. Try installing a custom rom through recovery. You may have flashed unrooted official rom which means you have to root it again to get supersu back.

Well writing in understandable English would be a thing to start with.
You cannot update a phone trough kies when it is rooted. Kies will abort the update and give you a message which tells your device is rooted.
I would suggest you try to get into recovery mode and restore a nandroid backup.
If that's not working try flashing an official rom trough odin and root your phone again afterwards.
You could aswell go to a nearby orange shop and ask a salesman to restore the official firmware. (they have all the packages there ).
sorry
Sorry for my bad english i flash an officiel firemware In odin from sammobile now when i try to updat my s3 in kies i cant and also when i try to flash the last firemwar kies stop on get pit for mapping !!! Itry to change usp ports nothing work
Don't use kies. Just use odin to flash whatever firmware you need.
You won't be able to update using kies as your device status will be "modified". You need to unroot and factory reset to get it back to official.
As for not being able to root your device, flash xxella firmware from sammobile and flash siyah 1.8.7 kernel in cwm recovery. I can verify that definitely works.

Im trying the xxell1 but again odin stop on get pit for mapping ! nothing working
My guess is your pit partition is messed up. I suggest you search for a way to sort the pit mapping problem. I've seen some people recommend downloading a pit file from sammobile for your firmware.
Otherwise you'll have to send it off to repair centre.

I need pit file for my firmware or for the newfirmware that i want to flash via odin ???

The one you want to flash. I think they're all the same. This is an inference from the fact that we don't use pit files when flashing new firmwares under normal circumstamces.

When i plug my phone into my laptop and open kies it says
"your firmware version is not supported to update via kies" what's wrong? It's odin stock rom
Odin is not a stock rom.
If you flashed a different rom using odin at some point then you've probably broken your kies route to an upgrade, use odin instead.
Okay thankyou i thought flashing an official firmware made it all work
Hello,
My phone can't update the latest firmware via settings > more > phone-info > software-update. It will download and reboot in update/download mode, but then stops updating and reboots normal. It says can't update firmware, try via Kies or a Samsung Centre. Kies says the phone is not supported...

I've rooted my phone in the past, but im now back on the Netherlands stock rom (see the image below). I would like to have my phone original (no root et cetera). I had problems with my IMEI (previous topic).
Should I flash CWM Recovery (via this tut) and root my phone (via this tut), backup EFS/IMEI (via one of the backup/restore apps in the topic) and flash stock rom again (via this tut) OR should I just follow this tut. I'm afraid I lose my IMEI this way.
Thanks!
Please help!
Hey
Boot your phone in download mode (vol down+ home+ power) then hit vol up when prompted..
Tell me what you see there..

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-19300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
It says 2 because of CWM and Root I just flashed. Before I also had a CWM, root en Custom rom but when I went back on stock I lost my IMEI because of the basebands. Then I flashed the UK stock rom (that one had a newer baseband the Netherlands one). After the Netherlands got the new baseband, I flashed that one, but around 28 march there came a new update available and that's when I found out it won't update... I think it has to do with the past of my phone...
Hey
You are right..use an app called Triangle Away made by Chainfire..Google it..
Then try to flash stock ROM via odin..but u need to be rooted first..

My phone is rooted now. Should I back up my IMEI first and then flash the stock rom after I Used Triangle Away? Im afraid to lose my IMEI again... I Could also follow this tut maybe?
Hey
It would be safer that's all..try using philz recovery for that..
Also u need not flash a stock recovery before a full flash, as told in the guide..but you can just follow it word to word..
I always use triangle away and then directly flash firmware using Odin..

Hey
Can u boot into recovery and tell me what u see now?
Do you have your phone serial number written down? It's under the battery, just above where the IMEI is written down. If you plug in KIES, and select the option "Emergency Firmware Recovery", with your phone on, then enter in your serial number, and the model number of the phone, (GT-I9300), you will be able to download the OEM firmware. It will wipe EVERYTHING from the phone, so make sure you have all of your crucial data backed up. If you can't get KEIS to work, you can restart the phone in download mode, and flash the OEM ROM with ODIN.

Hey
Check if the firmware is kies supported i.e; if it was official released via kies to the phone..
