When i plug my phone into my laptop and open kies it says
"your firmware version is not supported to update via kies" what's wrong? It's odin stock rom
Odin is not a stock rom.
If you flashed a different rom using odin at some point then you've probably broken your kies route to an upgrade, use odin instead.
Okay thankyou i thought flashing an official firmware made it all work

Hi I purchase my phone to a friend that had already flashed it with odin, now I want to use KIES to upgrade my roms it is easier for me.
I heard that what is important is the csc file to change but I am in switzerland and I don't know what csc file too add to do the trick so that Kies will upgrade my phone.
Could you please help me ?
thanks
You need to install the original rom that came with phone via ODin first only then will kies recognise it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=official+kernel
you can try there to check the original for your carrier flash it with odin and then kies should recognise your device as upgradable.
Although I would suggest you stick with Odin as you can get to flash latest rom on Odin first then wait for kies

If you have made a nandroid backup of your previous Gingerbread system, flash a kernel containing CWM recovery and restore the nandroid backup.
If you have not made a nandroid backup of your previous Gingerbread system, then you have to identify, download and flash the latest stock ROM released by Sasmung for your phone in your region.
You can use Check Fus Downloader (from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/).
After flashing the correct firmware to your phone, KIES should recognize it again.
Please backup everything important before flashing.
Good luck !
I just got a GT-I9305 and connected it to KIES to update and initialize firmware. I realise that KIES was showing "Current Firmware does not support update in KIES" when i click update and initialize firmware it replies "Initialize is not support for GT-I9305".
Current Firmware: AP: I9305XXALI9
Can i use just use ODIN to flash the firmware and will the flash counter jump ?
Another way i was thinking was to enter Download mode and use KIES's emergency restore.
Flashing official firmwares using Odin doesn't trigger flash counters.

THERE IS NO stock rom 4.1.3 . if you want you can use kies to upgrade or initialise your phone firmware. or if you like you can flash any rom from sammobile.com just make sure the rom is for your phone. check model no. all firmwares are official.the firmware packages include odin . a tool for flashing. follow instructions. extract zip ands flash md5 file in pda in odin. DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN PDA. if the phone doesn't boot or boot loops. factory reset phone should get it to boot up . also the usb connection can be fixed from kies . kies will install the drivers to enable the usb connection.If you do decide to flash by using odin . make sure kies is not running while you are u0sing odin.THERE ARE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS IN THE STICKIES HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344125 NO NEED TO ROOT

Follow the steps I've mentioned in this forum yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/fix-samsung-s2-booting-root-reset-t3087729
This should fix the issue, and then you can restore back and update your phone or flash custom ROMs.
Regards
i'm trying to download from rapidgator from 2 days but i can't, it always breaks!
and it can't be resumed
http://samsung-updates.com/details/23417/Galaxy_S_2/GT-I9100/VOD/I9100XWMS2.html
I have a stucked i9100 too.
If i choose a pit file, and select Re-partition, Odin stucked in SetPartition.
if i not checked, the re-partition, Odin stucked in data.img (3 files) or sbl.bin (1 file)
the same problem
always stuck in: NAND write start!!
help please
note:
when i falsh a recovery (like:CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar) it flashed well, but i can't access the recovery!
phone ssn: i9100GSMH
is it necessary to flash any pit file?
pit file should not be necessary, its main purpose is to re-partitionate the device. If you are already happy with your setup you don't need to flash it to update firmware.
Remember to choose the firmware for the right region for you, the link you posted is for VOD Region (United Kingdom Vodafone).
i think the problem is in the region, i've tried many regions but no one worked.
how to know my phone original firmware region?
Edit: phone flashed sccuessfully.
the problem was that the version printed in the phone is I9100, and the real phone's firmware is I9108.
