It would appear that you haven't installed the CyanogenMod yourself. Please do some reading & research before attempting to flash anything, stock or modded, otherwise you'll end up with an expensive paperweight.
Specifically, here, you shouldn't be using Kies at all in your flashing. In fact, it is recommended to kill all Kies processes as they can interfere with the flashing process.
You need to get the phone into download mode, and flash the ROM with Odin, assuming the ROM is Odin flashable.
There is a guide in general forum on how to return to stock using Odin.
Thanks for your reply...I read some information regarding this.....As per my understanding to use odin mobile should be connected to PC via Samsung Kies..but in my case cynogen is not supported kies.SO how can I proceed?

As the others have already told you: That understanding is wrong. Your phone needs to be connected to the pc but N-O-T via KIES.
Please read at least the threads in my sig below.

Don't use Kies, use Odin, it's far less temperamental. Just download th XWKE2 firmware from samfirmware.com and flash in the PDA section of Odin

Wow, that's a hell of a long time, leave it to download overnight? Mine took a while but only because it's a big file and it certainly didn't take a day! I'm sorry I don't know anywhere else to get stock firmware from apart from Samfirmware.com and the god awful Kies...

I have installed an unsecure kernel in my galaxy s2 (GT I9100G) but since I cannot find the original stock kernel, I wanted to roll back to the stock android version that came with s2 and thus wanted to know how could I re-install the firmware from KIES.
Thanks

You need to reflash stock using ODIN before you can use kies, as Kies doesn't recognise custom kernels.

Will reflashing bring back the stock kernel and make the phone unrooted in short make it the way Samsung sold it to me?
Also, I am using Galaxy S2 I9100G build number GINGERBREAD.XWKJ2 and for it only 1 unsecured kernel was available at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
I rooted my phone without any problem but since there's no way to get back the stock kernel, I am afraid that if need be, how am I gonna claim warranty for my device.

Yes aslong as you flash the firmware that came with it t will be like as samsung sold it. Have a look at intratech's thread he may just have the kernel if you still have the original firmware on it already.

Yes, I do have the original firmware on it. Didn't have enough guts to play with custom ROM :/
I did check intratech's thread and found stock kernel for XWKJ2 but the thread titles says "Official i9100 Firmwares" whereas my phone shows i9100G. I guess this won't work.
And, when flashing to original firmware, will the kernel's be replaced to the original one's as well?
Thanks for suck quick replies Am just a n00b diving into Android
You can extract the original kernel yourself if you want it http://www.hotfile.com/dl/136857418/c144909/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html

Downloaded it. Now what do I do? Flash s2 with this, backup using titanium, root device and then use the stock to get rid of yellow triangle? Am I missing anything?
Thanks for your help
BTW, is there a way to get the latest available firmware in my country/region via KIES so that I can be 100% sure of being in right place
i cant post the link right now but you can google
"How to goback/use Kies update after using ODIN,Rooting or Custom Firmware : Video Guide"
and go the the dialandroid website they have a way to make it like original again
Hello, just to preface this- im not very technical, but i can follow instructions well.
Anyway, You guys were great to help me two months ago in rooting my phone. I ended up doing it through Odin and all went great. Got all the **** off my phone which was the main aim. I didn't put any custom roms on there as im a bit useless when it comes to this stuff and i felt i'd be pushing my luck after the rooting went so well.
Yesterday i used Kies and it asked me to upgrade the firmware as there was a new version available.
1. What should i do? Will upgrading through Kies reverse the rooting procedure or break my phone?
2. Should i get the newer update from this site? If so- is there any tutorial for updating the firmware after already rooting the phone through odin (chainfires method i think it was?
Thank you in advance for any advice all.
My phone details are ;
ANdroid 2.3.3
Baseband version I9100XXKE7
Kernel version; 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555
[email protected] #2
Build number; GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I have used kies to update firm ware after rooting and it did not UN root my phone so you should be fine. It did however install more useless apps that I had to remove.

i would update via kies then go to chainfires post and pick root and cwm to match your new firmwares kernel .
That way you wont have to learn how to flash stock firmwares etc .,

Can i ask- do you mean that after updating through kies, i need to download something else? I already have the phone rooted and have cwm on the phone?

What JJ said is to flash via Kies and then flash the CF-Root kernel from Chainfire to get root and CWM in the phone.
Hi Azeurius,
the thing is that i already have root and cwm on the phone. Ive already rooted.
So im at the point where i can upgrade the firmware through kies, but im looking for advice what i should do overall- nearing in mind the fact ive already rooted, and phone details are in Openingpost.
THanks!
Ok well I am also new here but from everything I have read my understanding is that you have rooted your device and loaded the original Kernel for your current firmware. If you upgrade through Kies then you will obviously have an upgraded firmware with the old kernel (from your 1st rooting).
So when you upgrade your firmware you just have to also upgrade your Kernel through odin so your phone will still be properly rooted.
I stand to be corrected. I only started reading about rooting today as I just got my Galaxy s2 having come from a Blackberry so new to Android but loving it!!! Best os ever!
I think I will root my phone but not going to touch the firmware as ICS should be release on Kies soon cant wait

Any stock upgrade removes root .

Correct
One big problem with Kies is that if you change firmware its possible that you lose the Kies upgrade path as phone codes no longer match .

Hello guys. Im relatively new to XDA. So I might sound stupid. My question is, as jje mentioned above "One big problem with Kies is that if you change firmware its possible that you lose the Kies upgrade path as phone codes no longer match" am i correct in saying that if I update my Galaxy s II (rooted + cwm recovery no custom rom) via kies, then I could run into problems? Also one more question. If I do update via kies, will it remove root and cwm recovery?? Thanks guys. .

Use Odin
I think KIES forbides to upgrade on rooted firmware. Even if it allows you i think you will use your root. I suggest you if you want the latest stock rooted firmware use Odin find the stock rooted XWLSD(Nordic countries) and flash via Odin (Don't use XWLS8 it has bugs), XWLSD is super stable or XXMS1(Poland) or XWLSE(Russia) if you are not from this countries then use XWLSD. If you want custom rom with no mods and no bloatwares use Neat rom or Wanam lite rom, if you want custom rom with mods and no bloatwares use disaster, biftor, omega, alliance rom and etc.
Yeah. I dont mind losing root access. As log as I can get official ota. Btw has the exynos bug been addressed?

Thanks. I will be try updating my rooted i9500 and P600 via Kies. I am not sure if there is already an update for my region available for the S4 but I was prompted to update my P600 only to get a notification telling me that my device has been modified. This was for OTA updating. I really hope it works because I am really not looking forward to un-rooting these devices just for the updates since downloading the stock ROM takes forever. Will post results after trying just in case anyone is interested.
Hello, i have one piece galaxy ace android version 2.3.3...i wish to upgrade this phone to android 2.3.5...is it safe to do so and what is procedure? Thanks
It is completely safe and you can do it via Kies or Odin. Just google the firmware you want to install (in this case 2.3.5) as well as an instalation guide and follow the steps
PD. I'm just politely answering b4 some dude comes up and says:
Hey c'mon, why don't you google this? You'll get a faster answer... Why don't you go to development section and read ALL THE POST related to upgrade your firmware.

2.3.5 isn't available in all regions through kies. And if this is the case in your region, then odin is the only option.

Use Odin flash bcz kies can brick your phone.and to download latest version go to samfirmware.com register there go to phones list choose gt s5830 there you can download Odin and latest firmware. There is also a guide for our phone for how to flash with Odin. read it carefully......
sent from my phone and don't forget to hit thanks button if I helped you in any means ......
Shall I say that I flashed via KIES like 3 - 4 times b4 getting to forums and stepping away from being a noob...???? And I DIN'T brick my phone????
Shall I say that I bricked it while flashing thru ODIN????
... Anyway ODIN is better... but READING is a MUST
You can press software update in the about phone section i settings that will let you also upgrade to 2.3.5 i did that too

Hello everyone,
Today I decide to root my phone and I found this thread and follow every steps to root it.
However, I found that after the phone is rooted, the camera malfunctioned, youtube has no display, and bluetooth could not turn on.
I immediately unroot my phone, and flash it using original kernel and still can't repair it.
Then I run a factory reset but it is no use.
Could anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Thank you very much.
This is my first post. I hope I don't cause problem to this forum.
Try flashing stock rom
It will take some time and I could not access hotfile at the moment. So I am looking for alternative.
If there are no choices, can anyone help me transfer the file to the other storage like 4shared or mediafire?
This is the thread that I forgot to mention about "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414&highlight=root"
By the way, I have connected my phone to kies and it shows the latest firmware so i can't run any of emergency firmware recovery.
Any idea of solving this? Thanks.
I really need my camera back. Regret is not an option anymore.
Don't try to use Kies when you're rooted.
Which kernel did you try to flash? It's not that rooting should come with these problems you name here, because otherwise nobody would do it.
Indeed try to flash stock firmware (download from www.sammobile.com) with Odin, or maybe considder flashing a custom rom.

Only via Odin and before flashing make sure you don't have active kies

Looks like I need to download the stock firmware later on.
If there are updates on android again, can I use kies to update my phone again?
Not with a custom kernel but you said you plan to download stock and flash that after that you can use kies again or download the updated stock ROM from sammobile and flash it when it is release and don't bother with kies .
I have flashed a rooted stock tom in Samsung galaxy s3 mini and now I can't connect my phone with kids. I wanted to ask the benefits of kies and how I can use it again.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone answer
kies is samsung's own proprietary software to be used for backing up your data,, contacts etc.. And to upgrade your firmware whenever Samsung releases newer version of Android...

Kies before connecting whether the device status is genuine or not. Since you have already rooted and installed custom ROM , kies will not recognize your device.
Kies makes it easy to transfer / backup your media files, contacts, e.t.c.
You need to install official firmware for your device in case you want it to be recognized via Kies. You can refer sammobile.com for more details.

I don't have a custom rom I have the stock one rooted. But I read that I can use kies only if I have a rom from my country. Where can I find this rom? If I root this rom by flashing superSU will kies be available?
