I could not update my phone using FOT update, because it tells me there is no update.
and the kies software tells me I am in the wrong region.
I though about flashing the update using ODIN, but I have 2 questions
1- do I need to root the phone?
2- If I use a different version to make it match my region would that be a problem?
ask in the correct section and you'll get help

My phone received OTA update few days ago to 2.3.6. I installed it , everything went ok . But after update my kies is telling me that phone would not be updated anymore.
your device does not support software upgrading via kies
I9100XWKK2/I9100LUXKJ1/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKK2
(product code I9100LKALUX , phone is not locked to the operator )
Previously on this place i could see my version and latest version available.
I never rooted my phone, any updates I did were via KIES. It was first time I did OTA update.
Did anyone had similar problems? Any recommendations on solution?
thanks a lot in advance

I tried to find similar problem on the forum but so far without any luck.
What csc are you on?

Sorry I'm new here
Where can I check this ?
I always stayed on official updates and didn't use anything else than kies to update.
Sorry just realised it's LUX

Hi,
I've got the same problem (it's not really a problem yet) as you. I've applied the OTA-update and I'm getting the same message in KIES (I have the same CSC).
If it won't be possible to update my phone via KIES in the future, I guess I'll either have to download the next update via FUS and use Odin to flash it or just revert to 2.3.5 again ;-).
Greetings,
düstaaa
Wait for the next update .
But it makes little sense to me Update then check days later for another update .
Their is a possibility that the OTA updates are set to only update via OTA in the future .

For my part I didn't check for another update, I just connected my phone to my PC to backup my contacts and some other stuff, hence I saw the message in KIES. I thought I'ld google it and found this thread. ;-)
But yes, there's nothing else to do but wait.
Same here I didn't checked for update , just connect phone to PC and see this in big letters. So it makes me worry a bit, if something went wrong or not.
Looks like the problem was on Samsung server side. After one week Kies start working as usual . No more "Kies can't update.." message
I guess it's because the 2.3.6 update can now be applied via KIES.
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!

As OTA is not rolled out yet dont expect firmware by that method .

So went from Orange UK to UK Unbranded.
PDA I9100XWKE1
PHONE I9100XXKDJ
CSC I9100XEUKD1
However when I connected to Kies I can't do anything and get the error.
Your device does not support software update via Kies.
Whats wrong? Yes I am signed in to both google and samsung.
You dont have original firmware and codes don't match from your current set up with Kies server .
Codes have been changed by different firmware .
jje
Change back your CSC to your original

The codes have changed to the stated unbranded ones, so does that mean if u unbrand a phone u can't update the software?
It vary genuine original = updates when the update is pushed to Kies flashed something else you might be lucky .Check the Hidswver post for codes

SpoofFW is another app that may help .
Simplest is to flash your exact original firmware if you are intent on using KIES as the upgrade path .Making sure you have the original codes .
But all the jumping from Kies to Odin and back increases risk of a brick .
Their is no way that a mass update of ICS is going to happen it will be rolled out otherwise servers will not cope .Network providers will take ICS and do what they want before uploading .
ICS stock roms will be available as usual via XDA and Odin .

It was detected and updated to 2.3.4, does that mean I shouldn't run into any more issues?
You are now on the Kies upgrade path you will get further upgrades via KIES as and whenever they are pushed to the server .
But as a method of updating to the latest firmware you wait for updates as seen with your GB 2.3.4 two versions behind XDA stock roms .
Kies get what you are given versus XDA and Odin choice .

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.
Before now I had this trouble with a TMU (T-Mobile UK) branded phone onto which I had loaded generic XEU firmware. Although the firmware wasn't TMU the phone still had TMU CSC code. Using the CSC menu wouldn't let me change the code - I had to root the phone and manually change the CSC code by editing a file in the EFS directory. After that the phone and KIES showed the phone as XEU and updates worked normally.

Which file did you update the CSC code in?

Hope this helps.
Just adding another situation where this can happen, I am on a swisscom 4.0.3 ICS stock rom PDA:I9100BULPC PHONE:I9100BULP7 CSC I9100SWCLP3 with CF-Root. Kies offered an update even with my rooted rom so I made a nandroid backup (via CWM) then let Kies make the update. The update worked but I lost root so I re-rooted and it's all ok. However I forgot to take a copy of the Kies downloaded ROM while the update was happening so I just reverted to my pre-update nandroid backup and plugged in Kies, this time Kies gave me the "Your device does not support upgrading via Kies" even though just a few minutes earlier it had offered me the update.
So far I've not been able to get round it, I expect I can solve it by flashing the original stock roms and letting kies update, I'm just trying to avoid having to flatten the machine and set it up again.
The ICS will arrive first to the unbranded phones, and the subventioned will wait to the provider to install the ICS. My question is: If I unlock my phone with IMEI or any method available to do this, Kies will recognize my phone as unbranded like if I buy the phone without provider, and then Kies will bring me the ICS update??
Is there any way to do this?? Convert my phone to an unbranded phone so Kies will always recognize it as this??
Thanks
Kies doesn't check the IMEI, it checks the CSC as far as I know. So you could (theoretically) change the CSC code and have Kies recognize your device. Of course, if you have a provider ROM, it's possible that you only have one CSC built-in and no option to change it.
In that case, you'd have to flash a multi-CSC Gingerbread ROM, change your CSC and wait for the update in KIES. Although, probably simpler to flash an ICS ROM directly.
It checks codes as per .

CSC is not the upgrade path its network settings .
You can convert codes by using SpoofFW from the market .
You can also flash any stock ICS rom via Odin or download any rom via Checkfus .
But once you start moving away from original firmware kies may never upgrade .

Mine is already rooted with CWM and Rooted. Im currently on XXALE9 Stock. Unfortunately there is no response from Software Update on the phone and KIES is saying that Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
I heard from another forum site (Non-XDA) that it has something to do with the phone being rooted. I would like to know if this is true. As much as possible I am trying to avoid flashing via Odin.
Is there any possible fix for this?
As most of you might ask, the reason I am asking this is that I would like to officially get the updates for my phone. I am after those updates because those who received them had the Overheating/Warming issue with the phone fixed.
Thankyou very much!
reflash stock rom.
Question has to be has your individual phone actually got an official update .
No update no download via Kies or OTA .
