you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#
first two digits represents country and last three represents release time..
Is your device unlocked?

[Q] Why Kies Does Not Show Any Firmware

I'm from India.
I flashed my GSII to Baseband I9100DDKE4 via Odin. And now kies does not show any firmware for the phone. In the firmware coulmn it just leaves a blank.
What do i do to get newer updates via kies.
Plz Help.
Once you update to a mix and match firmware version using odin you wont be able to get updates from kies.
You need to flash a 100% stock rom with odin to go back to getting updates from odin, this can be your original rom or a newer leaked one.
Kies is very slow for updates, only 2 regions have a official KG 2.3.4 rom so far.
i flashed to 2.3.4 yesterday but then my phone was not being recognised in android market so i moved back to the stock i got from samfirmware but still kies says "this firmware cannot be updated". what do i do
Pick the correct carrier branded rom from here and flash it via odin
india does not have branded roms bro.
Pick one from the stock roms post then if you want updates then you need to pick an older firmware as Kies can not update firmware that is newer than on the server .If you dont know ask in the Indian thread .
jje
hey thanks bro but the problem got solved.
i think when i flashed it to 2.3.4 the region got changed to korea so i flashed it again with stock from samfirmware and used the CSC it provided. then used the *#272*imei# to change region to india and kies detected a firmware upgrade.
Thanks for your time bro.
Kies leaves blank field, that doesn't mean you have a problem. I too sometimes get blank in firmware update section, that maybe because Kies server is having a problem. Try again later, at night time. If Kies pops up 'This version of the device can not be upgraded' then it's a completely different matter.
Regards.

Upgrading to latest ICS failes

Hello,
Trying to upgrade my Galaxy S II to latest ICS builde that came out today. I got a message on my phone that there is a new version. Tried upgrading through mobile data, WLAN and through KIES, but it wont upgrade. Through mobile and WLAN it fails after downloaded, reboot and installing 5%. With Kies it says that the phone is not supported in this recovery mode, something like that.
I have rooted my phone back in the days but I loaded original firmware back on it.
Model: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
Any sugestions?
Kies says: Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: I9100XWKI8/I9100XXKI2/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKI8 (ODK)
Just a guess.. But you have to change your CSC back to NEE if that is what it came with

It is some software and settings that are different from place to place. The generic one in the nordic countries is called NEE. Kies will only recognize your software and offer an upgrade if all the software-versions represents one in their database.
Sometimes when flashing roms your CSC can change, and then you will have to change it back in order to be able to upgrade using Kies or Softwareupdate

And where can I find this CSC for Norway?
If your phone is branded, you will have to get that CSC, if not you will probably have to look for NEE
I have now rooted my phone with following firmware:
GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI8_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI4
It's got NEE, but still getting errors in kies: your device doest not support software upgrading via kies
I think I have found right kernel and firmware for my phone thanx to these sites:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_Series
http://www.samfirmware.com/
Flashing the firmware (rom) now. Hoping this will help get kies working again as it should be working.
If it doesn't you should manually change your CSC
I gave up upgrading through kies or phone. Rooted my phone and loaded an official rom (4.0.3) on it. Works like a charm
My problem now is restoring apps and data from my Titanum backup.. I have forgotten the Titanum armored passphrase
Hello,
I upgraded my galaxy S2 to the SFR (France) ICS firmware I9100SFRLP7 by using CheckFusDownloader. It works but unfortunately my mobile is still not recognized by Kies. The message "your device does not support software upgrading via kies" is displayed on the screen.
Phone Info:
PDA: I9100BULPC
PHONE: I9100BULP6
CSC: I9100SFRLP7
Any idea ? If the CSC is not correct, what is the correct one and how to change it ?
Thanks for your help.

[Q][Help]Can't update my SGS2 through KIES

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.

What you mean "not officially"? You mean via Odin/Mobile Odin?
Re-install Kies.
No custom kernel right?

But recently KIES software in my laptop got updated and when I connected my S2 it stated that my phone is not compatible to update from KIES. But, the same day when I connected wifi in my phone I got a message that an update is available and its done successfully.
Now can any body help me to get that issue sorted out when connected to KIES as it accepted before and now why it is not accepting ??
Thanks in Advance
This is all about csc codes and roms/firmwares from specific regions. csc changer from play store will fix most of the problems for you although root access is required in jelly bean. change the csc to your country and if all the planets are aligned in the third 1/4 of Aries your up and running..
However why the bloody hell you would want to use kies for anything other than backing your stuff up is completely beyond thinking about its the worst bloody piece of bloat you can install on your pc. Use odin you can flash any rom from any country you like its makes little difference as to weather your phone works in your country or not. HAPPY FLASHING.
@#1 If you really want too and jelly bean is available in your country install that via odin and that should also fix your problem.
