Hi,
I would like to update my Android version. I am unable to do this via Kies as Kies doesn't like the firmware I am on - Kies is terrible too - took a couple of hours for Kies to accept my phone is connected to the laptop!
Details of my phone are:
PDA: I9100XWKH1
PHONE: I9100XXKG5
CSC: I9100XEUKH1
Current Android version: 2.3.4 (would like to update to the latest official version)
Model number: GT-I9100
Baseband version: I9100XXKG5
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKH1
I know you can update to the latest Android version via ODIN, but I am a bit confused with this CSC etc.
Can someone please let me know which official firmware (only want the official one) I should download of the latest version and also the link to the step by step instructions to install it onto my phone.
Sorry, I know you will have been asked this question many times, but I don't want to mess it up! I am quite tech savvy so hopefully should be able to follow basic instructions once I have the right softwares/roms etc.
Thank you!
Nirav
EDIT: my phone is NOT unlocked
pick one version 4.1 from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
and all the rest is in the forum

Thank you for your reply. So any 4.1 will do, regardless of my "CSC" etc?
Also, I would be grateful if you could please give me the link to the instructions (so that I don't follow any old instructions by mistake).

Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy Europa (GT-I5500) and I'm trying to update my phone to 2.2 (Froyo) through Kies and It says that this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current firmware version:
PDA:JJ6 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JJ2 (XEU)
On about phone:
2.1-update1
Baseband Version:
I5500XWJG3
Kernel Version:
2.6.29-perf
[email protected]#1
Build Number:
ERE27.XWJJ6
None of this flashing lark though as I haven't a clue how to do it and I would need very very specific step by step instructions etc and I really want the Legitimate 2.2 firmware.
Please help as I really want to update my phone to 2.2.
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Doesn't matter, my father used Odin to update my phone to 2.2.
No one is going to help you here, I was in a similar situation, you have to download the firmware 2.2(Froyo) that belongs to your Product code and flash it with Odin to get rid of that Kies error. Just look in the stickies.
Regards
odin is the best way just f**k of the kies it just gave me the same error but i used odin for updating
ya same here just let kies jump. use odin

flashing is simple, type into youtube 'i5500 2.2 tutorial' and have a look at that video, shows a step by step way to flash, and has all the files you need.
First off i couldn't find an answer so i created this post so apologies if it is a repeat.
I FINALLY managed to connect my phone to that appalling software known as 'KIES'.
KIES informed me that the following firmware is available for me to upgrade to:
'PDA:KI4/ PHONE:KL1/CSC:KH2 (XEU)'
Could you help me as to where to find this firmware version. if it is official etc. Phone Details below:
Thanks.
I am from Wales,UK and purchased it from Carphone warehouse. Network carrier: Orange.
My Phone details:
android version
2.3.3
Basband Version i9100xxke7

Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 you can find all the different firmware for the samsung galaxy sII with a tutorial to install it !
Thanks for the link but i already have it. im just unsure of which one i need.
Kies is offering you the correct firmware but you dont want it .
In which case a stock Samsung firmware is required and that means any or to match KI4 from the link .
The CPW KI4 is posted

No just your post >>Kies offers the download but you want to find it somewhere else which will not be the same as what Kies is giving you to download .

issues resolved and success. Thanks for the help.
Hey all,
I'm glad that I found this forum. It looks great and I'm happy to be a member of this community.
Well, the title of the thread says it all. I'm trying to update my phone but Kies is not letting me. As soon as the update process is about to begin, my phone disconnects.
Can I manually update it?
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I9100XXKG5
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKG5
I want to root it, too. I tried to find a tutorial for my current version but I wasn't able to find any.
Please, help me asap!

Of course you can, just pick a ROM and follow the guide carefully here [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2/3 Download.
Hi, I have looked endlessly to try to get a grasp on the concept of flashing but it seems to refuse to sink in for me, so I'm hoping maybe one of you more experienced in doing this can help me out. First off, I'm with Bell and my phone information (Still on stock) is as follows.
PDA: I9100MUGKG2
PHONE: I9100MUGKG2
CSC: I9100MBMCKG2
Basically, what I want to do is upgrade the firmware to 2.3.6, but preferably I would still like it to be an 'official' upgrade and from what I've read, it seems that it must NOT be a 'Frankenstein' firmware.
Then I'm only left with the...:
XILA2
Firmware info
PDA:XILA2
PHONE: XWKI1
Date: 12/01/2012
Android 2.3.6

Is it safe for me to install this firmware even though I have a different phone model number and everything? Every guide I've looked at just says to pick ANY firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 so I don't know if that's true or not. If I installed this firmware would it change my CSC so that my phone would no longer work with my Bell carrier?
Thanks in advance...!
TLDR: Can I use this firmware update with my phone and would I still be able to use my phone with my current, Bell, carrier.
If you would like to help me, I would greatly appreciate it if you could use some links (preferably download links) in your response. Even if you don't want to help me, thanks for looking anyways!
i am also curious
Edit: Answer was given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453251
No, if you are on a carrier locked device then you must flash carrier specific stock firmware in order to save warranty otherwise its fine to flash pretty much anything
BTW you should have received official updates by now.
If you can elaborate more about your location then we can help you out.
Alternately you can also check out this thread, it its for Bell/Virgin Canada Specific devices

Which country did you get your S3 from? Or which carrier? Some country/carrier might not providing the update yet. Check this list to see whether your S3 suppose to be getting the update or not.

I bought this phone in Pakistan. I have told everything in detail, please help me, why is my s3 still saying you got the latest firmware installed. XEMf6 build number, XXEMA5 is baseband...
You have the latest firmware for YOUR phone you wait for your provider to update .
That is the official update .
Alternative .
If you want to update then you flash a stock rom for your region from sammobile or samsung-updates or xda stock rom thread .
If your region has not been updated then flash any stock rom and test .
Your baseband shows as Gulf Countries origin see faqs and guides .

It means my phone is for Afghnistan region, i am stuck, i think i will never get an update if this phone belongs from there....
If you won't follow the advice given then no, you won't.

Please read JJEgan post above you! You can flash and test other stock roms from different regions with odin (you do not need to be rooted to do this) But if you want to do a full backup (nandroid) of your current rom then you need to be rooted, if you just want to save pictures/music just copy them to pc and flash via odin >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969 <<

If you can't upgrade through kies, ODIN will be your only choice, and you dont need to root your phone for that.
