Hello!
I wanted to check how I am sure that I have the latest version available for my phone?
These are the details:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: i9100UHKE2
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9100UHKE2-CL188078 [email protected] #2
7TVerdsC
Compilation: GINGERBREAD.UHKE2
Current Firmware Version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KE2 / CSC:KD1 (TPA)
Is this the latest one? Is there a way to update if it isn't?
I purchased this phone through a store in US. I live in Costa Rica..
It is Factory Unlocked.. But I've had some issues with it..
For example:
I access on the phone the option de Update Firmware or Check for updates.
It asks me to create a Samsung Account.
I entered all the details and I clicked on "Create Account"
And it loads the Terms and Conditions. I clicked ACCEPT and it goes to a screen that says "Loading" and it goes again to the "Terms and Conditions"... I clicked ACCEPT -> Loading -> Terms and Conditions.. etc.. haha.
Thanks! Any information will be appreciated.
Connect to Kies, it should say if you have any latest firmware available.
Regards.
Newest firmware leak is KG3 which is android 2.3.4 you can install it via odin or wait for a kies release.

As posted Kies will give latest firmware for your phone . That may not be the latest release and may be a few upgrades behind .But it is the one for your phone .
XDA for alternative methods stock rom post dev section ..
You can also try the software update in settings but its yet to roll out worldwide via that OTA method .

i wouldn't use kies for update. i destoyed my sgs 1 twice by flashing an original firmware update. just go to samfirmware.com . U have to register but you can always sure to be up2date. All firmwares are flashable by odin. instructions included.
e.g. newest firmware now is
I9100XXKG3 ## 2011 July 20 - MULTI - CSC - OXAKG3

Hello all,
I have used the following guide to debrand my S2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894 (I followed it to the letter including step 8) I assumed this would debrand the phone and allow me to use Kies to update the phone as normal without having to wait for my carrier to release updates. Note: this is the only reason I performed the debranding, I had no intention of ‘rooting’ the phone.
So you can imagine my horror when I connected the phone to Kies and was presented with the message:
“This version of the device cannot be updated”
Have I done something wrong? And is this fixable/reversible? I am now starting to wish I hadn’t been so impatient and tinkered with my new toy instead of leaving it to Vodafone…
If anyone knows how an idiots guide on how to fix this I would be very grateful for your advice. Below is some information off of the phone itself and Kies.
Kies says:
Current firmware version : PDA:KDD / PHONE:KDH / CSC:KD1 (VOD)
But if I press *#272*IMEI# The phone says: Sales code XEU
Note: Kies says VOD and the phone states XEU (is this where the problem lies?)
Also in settings>about phone, the following is displayed:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKDH
Kernel Version: [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
Vod = Vodafone
XEU = UK
KDD very old firmware
CSC KD1 is VOD Vodafone CSC
Phone details all KDD
Kies never use it as i have never had an update after changing firmware and i have no intention of waiting six months for firmware .
Kies just does not like some changes made but works with others .
You can always put a Voda firmware on from provider roms thread .
or flash stock rom from stock rom thread .
jje
Thanks for your reply JJE, i thought i had flashed a stock rom? what have i flashed?
I would prefer to get the updates working over Kies if possible as if i had bought an unbranded phone. I thought that completing step 8 of the guide would change the CSC to a generic one, what is the reason for Kies seeing 'VOD'?
Thanks for sparing some of your time!

Never mind, i have solved the problem. Incase anyone else has the same issues the solution can be found below.
Update the phone by going to settings>about phone>software update then register for a samsung account. The phone then downloaded the update over the air and installed.
After this when i connect to Kies i get the message "This is the latest Firmware"
What version is the phone now after doing the update?

I cant update via kies too. When i try ota update, cant connect to the server!

Another way to go is to use SpoofFw if you are rooted. It will spoof another branding and will let you update to that branding using kies. Root and busybox is needed.

Kind of related to this thread... I had gotten the same message with stock firmware unrooted with KG2 firmware. Once I rooted it and flashed back the stock firmware, the message changed to "No updates currently available" instead of "This device cannot be updated". Strange.
Samsung understands when you root your phone the ROM or kernel you have put will not be recognized by them and hence the message...However, if you put in the stock firmware back then the updates by Samsung for your firmware version(if any) will be available for you.

It's actually backwards. When my device was completely stock, it said "This device cannot be updated". But now that it's rooted, it says "No updates currently available".

Have a look at this thread, they are all stok roms you need to download Odin and find the rom that fits with your country http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 try the 3rd post for 4.0.3 roms download the correct one and flash via Odin. After flash do a factory reset to clear out any old 2.3.3 stuff. Remember to backup your apps contacts etc first.
XWLPF appears to be the most recent one for you just confirm you are using a Samsung i9100 and not i9100g.
A friend of mine has a samsung galaxy s2 with basebandversion I9100XXKE4 and when i looked which version of android it was running i was surprised to see version 2.3.3 was installed. Because i had version 2.3.5 before i used another baseband version update to go to ICS ... Looking arround on the web i could not find a more recent version of Android for her phone. (btw also still no official ICS version for the i9100XXKI3) So I had on my phone a baseband version I9100XXKI3 and i updated using Odin with an ICS package which had I9100XXLPR baseband No problems until now. Now running CM9.
You guys think i can also use this (xxLPR)package to update her I9100XXKE4 ?
We both live in HK. Only difference is she is on PCCW and i am on Smartone

XX ROM series had plenty of official updates after 2.3.3, among them three ICS ROMs. Latest is LPW.
Just follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and pick up whatever ROM you feel like (you may also follow your product code).

Yes, you can. Only thing is if you flash stock firmware for another region you may have problems getting OTA updates for your region in the future. Which isn't a huge problem as you can also simply flash these via Odin when they're released if you do have difficulties.
I've had a look at Checkfus (PC version) & it tells me most recent update for I9100/Hong Kong was ZSLPG on 06/04/2012. So I guess you could go with LPR like you did, or you could get Checkfus & use this ICS build, which might mean no problems with OTA updates in the future (but no guarantees).
Hi,
I have updated my android firmware to 4.1.2 but not officially using Kies.
So now when i connect my phone to Kies it says "your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies."
Could anyone please tell me how i can reset my android firmware to the default version and then update it through Kies.

What you mean "not officially"? You mean via Odin/Mobile Odin?
Re-install Kies.
No custom kernel right?

But recently KIES software in my laptop got updated and when I connected my S2 it stated that my phone is not compatible to update from KIES. But, the same day when I connected wifi in my phone I got a message that an update is available and its done successfully.
Now can any body help me to get that issue sorted out when connected to KIES as it accepted before and now why it is not accepting ??
Thanks in Advance
This is all about csc codes and roms/firmwares from specific regions. csc changer from play store will fix most of the problems for you although root access is required in jelly bean. change the csc to your country and if all the planets are aligned in the third 1/4 of Aries your up and running..
However why the bloody hell you would want to use kies for anything other than backing your stuff up is completely beyond thinking about its the worst bloody piece of bloat you can install on your pc. Use odin you can flash any rom from any country you like its makes little difference as to weather your phone works in your country or not. HAPPY FLASHING.
@#1 If you really want too and jelly bean is available in your country install that via odin and that should also fix your problem.

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 .

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.
