I have a UK Three S3. I flashed stock rom and all branding appears to have been removed. My phone will not update OTA or via Keis.
My wife has an unbranded S3 and this updates fine OTA and Keis.
As far as I can tell our phones should be the same.
Why won't mine update OTA and what do I need to do to fix this? I know I can use odin but am getting fed up having to manually download updates.

When you go to: system settings/about device/software update/update
what happens?
go to: system settings/about device
what values do you have for `baseband version`, and what date date do you see in the `kernel version`?
The other day my wifes phone auto updated to XELLA while were in a restaurant. I was still on XELL4 and when I tried to update it said I was already running the latest software. This always happens whenever I try to update this way despite new software being available. It always shows "the latest updates have already been installed".
I have used odin to update to XELLA.
My baseband is I9300XXELLA Kernel date is Sat Dec 22.
Anyone any idea?

If I wanted to receive OTA updates with my i9100 and have flashed a stock rom (KI3) on it, does anyone know if it will notify me? KIES does not check for me anymore since the firmware is "not official" which I thought it was, but I would like to know if I could flash it to an earlier version and receive an update OTA. I have had a few issues with my device every time I flash it which continues to annoy me. Such as clearing data of certain apps to get them to work properly. I would rather not clear the data on my phone after every update and would like to just wait for new releases patiently. Anyone have a clue if this will work before I waste my time?
You will not revealed ota updates unless you are on the correct stock rom, and if kies doesn't see it as stick I really don't think you will gt ota.
Also ota is only avaliable on a limited number of carriers/regions.

My phone is unlocked and I have received them before. After the KIES update it does not recognize my phone now. I have heard that even if I go back to a previous firmware then it won't recognize it still. I got the firmware from Intratech's thread and they are all official releases, I am unsure why KIES says it is not the official firmware.
Has no one else tried this? It seems like something someone would have done. I don't want to use KIES anymore, but I would really like to know if I can start updating via OTA instead of flashing new firmwares that require me to clear data on the majority of my apps to get them to work properly.
OTA updates and how they work are not something we have any information for .
OTA will probably look at he same codes as Kies to update . Wrong codes from firmware = no update .
Plus neither will update if no update from the provider on the server .

I also have a SGS2 with a flashed ROM (is an original 2.3.4 unbranded, but is not the one which came with the phone) and also my phone is ROOTed.
Could that be why I also cannot use Samsung Dive services?
Hey guys
I have a problem...
My Galaxy S2 is currently running this firmware with Android 2.3.4:
GT-I9100_XEN_I9100CEKI2_I9100XENKH1_I9100XXKI1
CSC = XEN
I get told that there is an update waiting in OTA , so I let it download, reboots, starts to install, stops at 33%, reboots, tells me that it failed and that I need to try via KIES or contact Samsung.
But when I go into Kies... there is no button to let me update my firmware... it just tells me my current firmware version, nothing else like it usually would...
Not custom ROM, no root, battery 100%. Wifi/HSPA makes no difference.... any advice? My friend has the same phone with the same firmware and it works fine with him?
Suggestions?
As it is a Dutch firmware:
Do I need to be in The Netherlands for the update?
Need a Dutch SIM card?

Yes, I think that the CSC does not match your current region.
That's why KIES does not support your phone for a firmware update.
I recommend to download and flash the latest ROM from Intratech's thread (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)
I am running the latest Frankenstein ROM XWLA4 from the third post.
You can combine it with any CSC and modem file you want.
Just put those files into the corresponding section of Odin and flash all at once to your phone.
Stick to Intratech's description (first post).
Alternatively you can use Check Fus Downloader (=> http://fus.nanzen.se/) to check what's the latest officially released firmware version for your phone in your region and download it directly from Samsung servers.
Good luck !
OTA never worked for me ...
Hi,
I have a similar problem.
In my case, whenever I select Settings > About Phone -> Software Update - Update, it says "Connecting to server ..." and then it says "Connection failed".
In the last several months I had this phone, the update never worked from within the phone, and I could only update via KIES. Now I am on 2.3.6 XWKL1
Is this a known bug in SII? I tried to search the forum, but could not find this.
Please help
Regards
Ha! Got it sorted, so simple....
1. Turn off phone
2. Take out SIM
3. Turn on phone
4. Try again
5. Success!

hi guys, first let me say i'm a former GS2 owner and used to flash all the latest official OS using odin
since i got my GS3, i said i will update via official otas and skip the flashing via odin.
i love updates and hate being left behind, and i now there is a new update [mine has the LF2] for my unbranded-unlocked i9300 and i check on mine 3 times a day and nothing comes via ota.
the main reason i got the unbranded-unlocked-international version was to get updates asap.
i know otas gets released by regions, and thats a think i really need to understand and i need your help on that, thanks...
I think LFB is a Kies update and LF2 was just an incremental OTA update. Even though my phone has the LF2 OTA update, when I plug it into Kies and hit update, it reports I am using LF1.

So you wait and you wait and you wait .

Nothing in recent updates worthwhile .

Only help for OTA is Samsung .
All XDA will tell you is to flash stock rom via Odin .
You could use CHECKFUS to double check the actual update status for your phone .

Try the following -
Connect the phone to kies via usb.
In case an update is available, kies will notify you. Now dont click update via kiew.
Disconnect the phone from usb and check for OTA update in the phone.
My phone does not show any OTA updates even if there is an update. I always need to first connect it to kies and once kies detects an update , the phone finds the update via OTA.

Hi,
Has anyone on Orange in the UK updated to the latest firmware via Kies?
I've just plugged my phone in to Kies and seen the update, and I wanna know if this is what I hope it is... the JELLY BEAN UPDATE!!!
I doubt it, as I've seen nothing online to suggest anyone has it yet.
Let me know people! Thanks for your help!
Without evidence in a build number or Android version its just another old old update .
Orange first never usually months behind .
jje
There is no chance whatsoever that it is Jellybean, Jellybean will be out most likely last of all UK networks for Orange.... the first phone to get the update will be the UK unbranded update.
This update is probably LG8 or LH1....
I've attached a screen print of the message I get in Kies. Not sure if this is the "build number" your referring to. I won't get a version number till I update. I'm holding fire on that till I know it's necessary.

Last! Damn Orange.
When the unbranded update comes out, is there any way to trick Kies into giving me that? If I sim unlock or something?

not kies no, but you could use ODIN, you download the file from a link that will be posted on here open ODIN and plug in your phone and press start (not exactly the full process but just to tell you how simple it would be).
You don't need root or anything like that to do this, you could also use the same process to flash back to an Orange Rom if you needed to in the future.
LG very old firmware ..
Use CHECKFUS to download your original current firmware and save it can be flashed via Odin in the future if problems .

Thanks, I've used Odin before, but just to root a few S2s and my S3. Will keep an eye out for that unbranded update.
Funnily enough I just installed the LG1 radio on my GF's Orange phone last night as I had issues using the LFB Firmware.
Okay, so a while ago I decided to root my SGS3, then the root suddenly just stopped working, so I flashed stock 4.1.1 back onto it using Odin3. Now I cannot update via Kies or the Software Update in the settings on the phone.
Whether I flashed the wrong ROM onto the phone, I don't know but I thought it was the right one for my Three phone (downloaded from samsung-updates.com), but the boot animation seems to be the official Samsung logo, which used to be the Three logo.
Is there a way I can upgrade onto the normal, proper stock 4.1.2 firmware which will update genuinely in Kies?
Any help would be much appreciated.
is the status "modified" in the settings? try this

No, it doesn't say its modified, but Kies says that its not the right firmware or something and the system update doesn't even tell me that 4.1.2 is available when I know for a fact that it is.
have you flashed the correct csc?
