Hello guys
I need some help here, few days ago I've updated my S3 to a leaked version of 4.2.2 from sammobile, didn't like the logo at startup (israeli language symbols) so I've decided to get back to 4.1.2. When I reinstalled 4.1.2 android looked for the Product code, and selected Germany. After done this my samsung kies saying my firmware is not supported, done some research and spoke with a nice guy from sam forum. All i know my csc is btu and product code is german. Bought the phone in uk at carphone warehouse and was unlocked to any network. Phone is not rooted but I really want phone to be as it was before, so I can get OTA updates directly. I don't use kies to update but if kies is messed up and don't match OTA updates will be affected.
Here some of my details:
checkFUS
product code : GT-I9300MBDVD2
PDA : I9300XXEMC2
PHONE:I9300XXEMC2
CSC:I9300XAEMC2
Any help will be much appreciated
Thank you
Run the csc selector app from Play store and select BTU, this will factory reset the device.
The problem comes if you are trying to run it on a rom later than ELLA since that update, you need to be rooted to change csc. If you really don't want to root, flash a rom earlier than ELLA, change the csc then use Kies to update to the latest.

Root what for if you want stock ??it will prevent OTA .
You want your original firmware details .

Same goes for any stock firmware if you install it then its possible Kies cannot match your firmware .
Find
stock UK or UK CPW firmware from about the time you purchased the phone .
Best solution as always is not to use Kies or OTA and flash what you want when you want .

You should read some threads in ROM Development then read them again!
There are plenty of threads with how to guides, all the info you will need is in the first few posts.
Make sure you understand what you are doing or you may end up with an expensive paperweight.

Download and install Fus Downloader
Using Fus Downloader, get the firmware for your exact phone (make sure product code, PDA, CSC and Phone match your phone)
Flash it with ODIN.
Once you phone has started, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset.
Once that's done and your phone has booted again, flash the same ROM again.
Kies should now recognise your phone.

How do you tell which firmware to use on check fus? My phone is unlocked and I am not sure which one I am supposed to use. I am on KPQ, so I am guessing I would get a bootloop so I will have to reflash after the first time. Is there anyway to confirm that the firmware is indeed stock for my device?

Just choose which device you have from the list in Fus Downloader. For example, if you phone was originally a United Kingdom O2 Network, choose United Kingdom O2 from Fus Downloader and flash that.

@ beggin Thank you very much. As soon as ICS comes out for unlocked S2's I will use this method.
thanks everyone for your replies @Beggin thanks for the tip works perfectly now happy days..
Getting to the point. My unlocked, non rooted, upto date.. Kinda.. It's on 2.3.6 Sgs2 connected to kies works fine, but when connected, kies shows that the update feature isn't supported by my device.
My other sgs2 is rooted and I'm using an ics custom ROM so I can't check with that.
But I got this phone a couple of Weeks ago and decided not to root it until after the 4.0 update.
I have tried OTA as well but that doesn't work either.
Any idea why kies is showing my device as not supported?
Thanks

Before I rooted my other phone, it didn't show that same notice. It's telling me that kies doesn't support updating my phone, end of.

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster over in these parts, and am hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction to a solution to an issue I'm having....
I'm trying to get my S2 back to factory fresh condition (ie, stock ROM/Kernel etc.)
Now, the problem is, I've found all the necessary bits (ROM/Kernel) in the following thread......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
However, I can't seem to download them. The multiupload links just take me to a download manager ad. :-/
I fully admit I may be missing something colossally stupid, so please, no name-calling
I did find the Kernel I need on another site, which I can't remember, but not the rom I need
Would someone please be able to tell me if I am indeed being a complete moron and missing something with the downloads?
Thanks

Why not just flash an official rom from www.sammobile.com via Odin..?
Sent from the Matrix
I did look at sammobile, but I can't seem to find a 'samsung' rom on there, just the carrier versions.
Also, don't I need to put a stock Kernel on there? As the one I've got isn't stock.
TheMightySpud
Yes you are one.
You say you want back to factory which is stock ROM and kernel.
Then you say you don't want to change kernel because the one you've got isn't stock.
"noob ok...lazy noob not ok"
Huh???
No, I do want to do both Rom and Kernel because neither is stock. Which is why I said there was no Kernel on the sammobile site, and asked the question about the Kernel.
So y'know, not lazy.
So, any answers to my actual question? How to actually download the files in the big thread? That's all I asked.

Multi upload went tits up 18 months ago courtesy of FBI.
There are plenty of unbranded stock packages on Sam mobile
If you want help then help yourself for starters by including the details about your phone etc.

There are unbranded Samsung roms on www.sammobile.com. Just flash with Odin. Your rom and kernel (the custom ones you have right now) will be replaced.

how can i sort this problem. CSC:LL2 (XXX)
i've checked the csc on the phone and its O2U
I restored the phone via kies using firmware upgrade and initialization
that didn't help so i installed recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300 via odin, factory reset phone, cleared cache, wiped delvik file then to make extra sure i went in and wiped everything one at a time, sd card ext sd card, preload ect... then used kies again to restore phone and still the same problem.
please don't just reply saying read all the other threads on the same subject.... i have.
many thanks

Kies has decided your phone csc doesn't match the update.
I've never used kies so can't help solve problems with it, apart from recommend you uninstall it.
If your csc has really changed, I've read that the 4.3 update can cause this, then you can download the full rom for your country from sammobile. Check the md5 then flash using odin (remove kies first), factory reset from recovery and the csc will then be set.
CSC is pretty useless for most people, it just seems to complicate Samsung issues.
I've done everything you have recomended apart from removing kies first. I have downloaded every O2U rom from kies from 4.0.4 upto the latest 4.1.2 and I've backed up the efs file for every rom as I've updated via odin. I don't usually update via kies but I just wanted to try and get everything back to stock
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Doing what I've suggested will put the phone to completely stock, apart from your flash counter which you've increased by flashing a custom recovery.
If you want to reset this as well then follow the guide in general forum, sticky threads.
The only definite way is for you to flash back your original saved rom .
Alternative would be under search Kies Emergency Recovery .

i've gone back to an O2U rom and i have managed to update to the latest version using ota update but kies is still showing the (xxx) problem
i've wiped the counter with triangle away and unrooted the phone so it is now totally stock.
Totally stock and correct registry entries ???.
Suggest you find the Kies forum some place on the web or try a Samsung forum .

one bit of info i forgot to add.
if i flash a new rom the imei and sn numbers stay correct but if i try and put the efs file back it doesn't work, but if i reset the imei number and sn number with my nspro box i can then install the efs file and it works.
