Hi, today January the first my old and venerable Galaxy S2 alerted me that an update was available and I accepted it and the process went fine. The version update is now the 4.1.2.
My brand new S3 international version (Amazon bought) and unlocked has alerted me more than 6 times there was an update available, I did the same as in the SII and accepted all the messages, the phone rebooted and the Android logo appeared and below there was a percentage bar showing the process update advance, when it got to the 32 % the logo changed from standing to laying with an red triangle with an I at stomach level over it and the phone restarted.
When finally the reboot finished a new alert opened saying software update and thats is all.
My phone actually is running Android 4.04 and also my old S2 has a later version.
I also tried through Kies and the program was unable to do the update.
The phone is unlocked and rooted
What recommendation can I get to update it
Best regards.

You can't update becouse phone is rooted as you stated above. You should unroot your phone (use search, you have tut here on xda) and than run update.

You dont need to unroot. Just update via kies or download your firmware from sammobile.com and flash with odin. your choice.
I would recommend that later one.

Again here, have just tried to update the phone through Kies and got the following :
Model name : GT-I9300
GT-I9300 does not admit initialization
Error messages capture.
View attachment 2488009
View attachment 2488010,
It is in Spanish but I translated it, and there is another error message :
The device does not admit software update through Kies
Actual Firmware version : PDA:LH3 / PHONE : LH1 / CSC:LH2 (XXX)
Just another thing before I rooted my device which I also did with my S2 I tried also to update the phone manually and through Kies and always got the same errors.
What do you think would be the best way, I read somewhere there was an update but if this was applied I could not apply later any custom ROM and probably I could also brick the phone so I am worried about this.
Regards and waiting for support,

STOCK firmware roms are flashed via Odin see faqs and guides .

Your phone won't upgrade OTA because its rooted however it will upgrade via Kies rooted or not. That error message has nothing to do with root.
If you use KIES choose TOOLS > FIRMWARE UPGRADE & INITIALISATION. This method is a deep clean method which will require you to enter phone serial number and imei to ensure your phone is legit for your country of upgrade and is registered with a network.
It will take a while but will upgrade to the latest FW for your country, completely wipe the phone and remove root.

Hi All
I rooted my handset but then decided there isnt much out there at the moment for me in terms of custom ROMS so i restored a stock rom. I am now seeing a message "This version of the device cannot be updated" in Kies. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? Im running the latest Kies
Thanks
Kies updates product /firmware codes that match whats on the server . Requires your phone provider to have uploaded newer firmware than you have .
If you put a Samsung rom on the phone = no matching product/firmware codes .
Your Kies upgrade path is now closed ..

How so? this is now the third time I've seen you post this. Surely this only applies if you have flashed a custom rom. not stock.I flashed mine to KE1 via odin, but updated to KE2 through Kies. So what am I missing? Are you talking about the 'missing DLL' error? I did have that on my desktop, but kies worked fine on my laptop.
What is the easiest way to get back on track with Kies? Would flashing an older official firmware work?

Third time more like three hundred .
Kies updates branded firmware via product codes hardware id and firmware id .
Hundreds if not tens of thousand who have installed Samsung so called stock firmware through Odin have received the no upgrade message from Kies .
Thats why Spoof FW was invented otherwise no need for it .
Its also why Kies has never given me an upgrade path since flashing stock rom via Odin .
Now i know one or two on SGS have managed to upgrade after stock rom but most are reporting no upgrade ( well you anyway ) .
Personally if some one is going to do something that may affect their warranty or change the update path or whatever i would rather tell them than not .
Stock rom Ke2 and i will test yet again via Kies when KE3 is out .
SGS2 bought sold SGS 1 running stock firmware No repeat no upgrade path through Kies until flashed original O2 rom and thats like two weeks ago .

Only Updated via Kies
Hi,
Only had my phone a week and have not done anything custom with it, it has updated twice through Kies in 1 week per request from Kies itself, today I go into Kies and it also says :
"This Version of the Device cannot be Updated"
Current Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
Why has Kies had no problem two times in the last week and is now saying this, has something gone wrong in the phone ?
Yesteray it just said the Latest Firmware was Installed ?
JudgeyK said:

Was just yesterday it said ;
Latest Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
Current Firmware Version DA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
and today the Latest Firmware Version is replaced with that error message, so assumed that there must be another update out but now the phone will not update it ?

It's giving that message because the firmware (KE2) has been removed. Your phone has a version of FW higher than Kies knows about hence it tells you it cannot be updated, wouldn't make sense otherwise. Once Samsung release a new FW I expect it to return to normal.

Just downgraded to I9100XWKE1_I9100XXKDJ_I9100XEUKD1 using ODIN and Kies now says this is the "current version". Looks like this is the way back to kies updates if anyone wants this.
All sorted again, today KIES is reporting ;
PDA:KE7: PHONE:KE4: CSC:KD1 (XEU)
a big jump from ;
PDA:KE2: PHONE:KDJ: CSC:KD1 (XEU)
This version of device canot be updated
Current firmware version : PDA:KD9 / PHONE:KD9 / CSC:KD9 (XEO)
:/ I bought phone before 2 days wtf is that ?
I have the same no update possible - its stock untouched.
My details are: PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KD5 / CSC:KD3 (DRE)
May be its because they pulled all updates until the new one is out (hope so)?
Hello guys
PauloJ5 can you send me your KE1/KD5/kd3 firmware?? pls
That's a problem™ of Kies. Change the Product Code to a valid one (see your box for that) from all X in Registry Editor. It worked for me.

KE2 is O2 UK latest firmware .
Kies updates when the network has passed an update and loaded it to Kies .
Thats an if and when not a must because its released by Samsung .

Have a look at the xda bookmarks link in my sig. In there you can find both official and official branded firmwares. Instructions on how to install are in the 1st post of those threads.
Dear Members'
Sorry for the question but what you mean by non ginger bread firmware on galaxy? The firmwares that i am flashing on it via odin are original stock firmwares downlaoded from samfirmware.... and the latest versions so they are gingerbread.As they are original stock they should be accepted by kies and must let kies to check for new firmwares and install if there is a new one.
Could you please enlight me.
The phone was original and boxed as i bought it , and as i sad it was able to update via kies until i flashed it with new ones from smafirmware.

Kies cannot update a phones firmware for a number of reasons in your case KH3 cannot be updated until ||Kies has a later firmware on its server .

Dear Jjegan;
Thank you very much for the answer , but its seems to be like my explanation was incomplete and not detailed.Kies not mentions that there no update for the current version , it just says sometimes this device can not be updated and sometimes just shows the pda\modem\ version and no more info.
Thanks for help
you would basically need to use a older firmware that completely wipes your phone and return to at least 2.3.3. which kies will recognize and use a official branded firmware.
Kies has not sent out an official upgrade to certain countires that will recognize 2.3.4. It is just starting its roll out, I believe by the end of the year kies will recognize 2.3.4.
Dear CosmicBlue
Thanks for contribution but my previous firmware was 2.3.3 which was also downloaded from samfirmware.com and flashed trough odin , and still was giving an error indicating this device cannot updated via kies , and sometimes was showing the version of the csc modem pda and nothing else , so as you explained normaly in 2.3.3 in must say already latest version ....
I need a version where kies finds the phone and says already latest version and update if finds new release , normally i like to flash via odin but after all flashing all data is wiped and tired to configure eveything again ,and dont want to use backup.
Kind Regards.
you would need to go back to an older version of the firmware say an xkf1 and let kies upgrade it to the latest version which i believe officially is xkg5.
Thank you very much CosmicBlue , could you please guide me from where i shall download the official rom samfirmware.com maybe?
Kind Regards.

Hi,
As far as updates from odin go if you update with a Intratech non-wipe higher version of stock ROM (say XXKH3) from a lower version stock ROM (say XXKF3/G5) the data remains intact. I'm running the non-wipe version but did it when I updated from KF3 to KG5 as i had the same misconception. Somewhere in the forum it is discussed if you revert back to an older version of a ROM then you need to factory reset / wipe the data down.
Cheers
Dear Digifort;
Thanks for the contribution , as you mentioned i was running a full Rom also that wipes all the data , i was not aware that there is a non-wipe version , so now i will download a stock Rom from samfirmware a old one , flash with Odin and connect to kies after will look if it will update to current version.
Kind Regards.

First you stop double posting.
Second, you just turn off the phone, hold the power button till the phone shuts down. After that, you hold the HOME + VOLUME UP + POWER button till the Samsung Logo pops up, then release the POWER button.
When you see the Samsung 3e Recovery screen (TEXT IS BLUE), just select WIPE DATA, RESET PHONE, whatever it is called. Then reboot. You are good to go.

Hi all, I'm new to posting here but a vet over at samdroid.
I've looked around quite a bit and my problem seems to be unique...annoyingly.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies. I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
I was thinking of trying odin (i was a pro at updating roms on my spica), but don't know if using an offical update through odin instead of kies would void my warranty etc. NOTE: I don't want to actually root my phone (yet)
I hope that all made sense and any help would be much appreciated

make sure you got i9100 not any other varient
does other O2 in your area got ICS via KIES
odin is fine and will not void warrenty aslong you dont root and flash back the ROM you have now. you have to find this ROM first if you want to go back.

This Thread has instructions and official ICS.
Plz note that this is official and will have TouchWiz and does look extremely similar to Gingerbread and without root and custom theme you will not get that ICS feel. You will however get most of the goodies that ICS has to offer.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies.
Well that's not exactly true you upgrade if their is an upgrade for your exact phone .
Kies has firmware for GT-i9100KAO2U product code .
I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
But not for your phones product code which obviously does not match the released O2 firmware .O2 may well and probably over twelve months had more than one phone for sale unless contract has different codes to PAYG .
Standard older O2 UK firmware for xxx Product codes is on Kies its also on this forum in a legitimate flash via Odin .

Or you can go to Google find CHECKFUS and try to download from your codes .

you still didnt confirm if you have i9100P which i think you have but i could'nt find the Stock ROM your running now, so you can go back to it later if required.
if you have i9100P this thread has good news for you though the actuall thread is stupid and useless...

i think what happened to u is you got the model which is i9100P not the usuall i9100, thus all on normal model are on ICS and you still on GB. you can wait for it to come or use the i9100 ROM's but please search if that is actually possible.

i read somewhere that i can use i9100 firmwares on my i9100P, so which of those 2 links would you recommend? also, is there a lot of risk or is it pretty easy and you're just covering yourself?
finally, if i update like this, will i be able to update officially through kies when the update is finally released for me?
no im not covering my self...... i tell you in points....
1: you got I9100P on O2 for which i cant find a firmware for.
2: because you cant go back to your old firmware which is O2 you will get into warrenty problems

ok, i guess i'll wait for the official update then. thanks for your help
here are your options if you still want to continue.
1: you can flash stock firmware for i9100.
2: you can flash custom firmware
3: you can flash O2 branded firmware for i9100.
but in all cases NFC wont work by default.
plus now you cant go back to O2 i9100P firmware as it cannot be found anywhere... atleast by me.

Hey guys. I have the I9300 and my build number is IMM76D.I9300UBALF3 , and I just read that the UK is getting OTA update for XXBLG6 with some nice improvements. This website says that I can simply download their file and use ODIN to install it.
http://www.android.gs/update-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300-to-official-xxblg6-ics-4-0-4-firmware/
My questions: will this infringe the warranty by any means?
Why does KIES not show that there is an update?
Is it possible that my phone will not be compatible with the update as it probably is not a UK model? ( dunno the difference )
Is there a chance that flashing the update will brick my s3, since I am not actually rooting or anything.
P.S. - I do not have root and I do not plan on getting it yet.
Thanks guys. I appreciate any help!
If u have the correct model number, u can try and it won't brick ur phone normally.
But it is at your own risk.

You would need to ask that web site bit stupid asking another forum for advice on another forums products .
Why does KIES not show that there is an update?
You do not have an update yet .
Is it possible that my phone will not be compatible with the update as it probably is not a UK model? ( dunno the difference )
Yes if its not I9300 International model .
Kies will not offer a UK update to a phone that is not a UK product code .
Is there a chance that flashing the update will brick my s3, since I am not actually rooting or anything.
Yes always possible .
P.S. - I do not have root and I do not plan on getting it yet.
As you do not know what phone you have you would have two choices .
One wait for whatever your phone is and Kies to update it .
Two you could join XDA Developers forum download the stock UK firmware and flash it on the day of release .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
The risk is very small but it is a small risk that gets much bigger if you do not follow the instructions .
Personally in your shoes i would start reading and understanding first .
PS not heard of these nice improvements ??

I do know what my phone is lol. It's the i9300 , just not sure if my firmware is a UK firmware or a different one. The improvements are on the stability, noise crackling sound, camera features, screen brightness easily accessible.
So since I know that I do have the international version I9300, can I update through ODIN without risk? or? Furthermore, will any build work for the I9300 no matter the location based firmware?

If your phone is not carrier bound you can flash any region as long as it is for your model.
Yes, there is always a risk using Odin. But then again Kies can jack your phone up too.
I put my faith into Odin. YMMV.

Hello guys.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me. I rooted my new phone using the toolkit method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 and now i am confused about the firmware versions,and if the kernel was changed and such. I forgot to check all these versions before i rooted the phone,so have no idea if these are the original ones.
My phone is bought and used in Denmark,however the firmware suggests it is now a uk version looking at the country code could this be correct? If i look at this http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=HTD&os=1&type=1#firmware my AP/PDA number is the same,but the CSC number is different,is this normal?
this is apparently the stock samsung firmware for my phone PDA:I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300HTDBLH1 from the sammobil site, and after root mine says PDA/AP: I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300NEEBLH2
I would like to know if this is normal? Can i use the 4.1.1. jellybean (2012 October 4.1.1 PDA:I9300XXDLJ1 CSC:I9300HTDDLI1) on my phone using odin to flash it? Or do i have to find a firmware with exactly the same numbers as my current ones?
I am afraid i might have done something wrong,however everything works,and root checker says i have root access,and superuser is installed on the phone,if the toolkit has "updated" or changed my firmware/kernel to a uk one,does it matter?
Also,after root my phone now shows up as Galaxy Tab in utorrent,but it is still I9300 in my windows7, why is this?
Did toolkit 5.0 save my original rom/kernel/firmware before rooting? If so,where?
I would be extremely grateful for someone to easy my worrying
Thank You

Thank you for the answer. I understand everything now.. And it works fine.. I did however use the wrong firmware rom,so i got different operator,i found the correct stock firmware,and will be starting from scratch using the cf-root method with the correct stock rom.
Thank you
