Turn off the device, press: power/volume up/menu at the same time. Now in 3rd recovery do wipe data factory reset and wipe cache and reboot. It should be good now
well Kies doesnt like it^^ still "this version of the unit can not be updated.. (or something like that, my english sux.
In kies it says about the firmware : PDA:KF3 / PHONE:KE7 / CSC:KF1 (KOR)

Are you trying to use Odin to get back to stock? If so, you can't have Kies running at the same time. You've got to kill the Kies process in order to use Odin.
im not using both at the same time:S but ill do a proper check^^

Go to settings, than privacy and do a factory reset. Than go in download mode and reflash the stock rom with Odin. No partition or pit file!
Than reboot, fill in the pincode, skip the rest and let it boot. Than reboot the phone and check your csc *#1234#
well not on the phone KOR stands. that was in KIES. but ill try again.^^

It's normal that Kies says your phone can't be update. The real solution to getting back to stock is NOT Kies... It's Odin.
If you have Odin installed, you can simply download the stock ROM of your choice and use Odin to select it via PDA, NO REPARTITION, NO PIT (or you'll brick your phone!) and just flash and reboot. Do a factory reset via the dialer by entering *2767*3855# when you get rebooted, and everything should be fine.
Kies might fail to recognize when updates are available for your phone. It will say that your phone cannot be updated. It lies, in a sense, because it can be updated, but just not through Kies, which is what it actually means when it says this. The most current ROM versions usually drop here weeks before they show up in Kies, so don't trust what it says.
When I got my phone about 3 days ago, it came with a carrier specific ROM based on KH2, and Kies told me the same thing. I flashed to KH3 via Odin, which removed all the junk that the carrier installed and I didn't want.

Hi guys
I am new here and i have, for me, a BIG proglem...
My boss gave me his phone, i9100, to update it on ICS 4.0.3. I updated phone through Odin, everything went ok, my boss was happy
Then, he noticed some minor bugs and he asked me to downgrade phone on GB 2.3.4
I used checkfus to download 2.3.4 for our contry and restored GB 2.3.4. Again, everything went ok.
Then, my smart boss, connects phone to KIES and KIES showed error that he, KIES, cannot recognize phone?!
Now my boss is freaking out because he thinks he lost warranty and he is blaming me about his "loss" of warranty.
When i entered, Volume UP+Home+Power, it shows "0" in counter and "samsung official"?
What seems to be a problem? How can i restore GB so phone can be recognized through KIES?

You have not reinstalled the original firmware and codes no longer match on Kies server .

No stock is still Samsung warranty .
Download your original firmware via CHECKFUS flash via Odin then connect to KIES .

Your boss sounds like a real dickhead.
It's probably a difference in region, hence Kies won't allow you to upgrade.
Samsung are very relaxed regarding user firmware upgrades. I had 10+ counts in firmware upgrade counts and Samsung still fixed my phone free of charge (faulty proxy sensor)
Just tell your boss to chill out.
Flash your country CSC file and choose your CSC:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But 2.3.4 is very old, I suggest you to flash 2.3.6.

He had that GB 2.3.4 before updating via Odin.
ps. sorry for my modest knowledge about my OWN problem, i know how to flash but thats it
Anyone?
Has he tried uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers, rebooting PC, reinstall Kies + drivers, reboot and then try connecting to Kies?

As shaq1907 said you need to flash the correct csc file. If I understanded correctly, the kies says "Kies can't update this phone" or something like that.

Kies update after Odin flashing
Just flash your phone into older firmware and update via OTA. After OTA update, Kies will support update for your firmware.
Here is how I did it.
1. Flash XWKL3 (2.3.3) by Odin
2. Update via OTA (Under About phone=>Software update) <- Still Gingerbread
3. Connect to PC and now it is supported by Kies.
4. Update to ICS using Kies.
If you encountered update failure in Step 2, don't worry and keep trying until it success.
I got a Galaxy S3 around a week back. The CSC was set to COA and it was running the old firmware. KIES used to show the current and latest firmware.
I have updated to the XXALF2 using ODIN and also set the CSC to BTU. However KIES does not show the lastest firmware anymore. Just the current firmware. Does that mean, KIES wont be able to update my phone?
i have done exactly the same & getting the same result in kies, i think you have to be on unmodified rom without flash count triggered? i could be wrong though
Right after the flash. My CSC was set to KOR. However I changed it to BTU using *#1234*IMEI*. I was getting the message that KIES cannot update the firmware when it was on KOR. That message seems to have gone.
This problem is quite confusing.
i flashed mine with stock LF2 BTU but kies states "your device does not support upgrading via kies"
and my CSC shows "CSC:LF2 (H3G)" is this normal?
Hmm. I had that message on KIES when my CSC changed to KOR. After changing it to BTU, that message was gone.
Initially - XXALE8 -COA (KIES showed the version the phone and the latest version).
After flashing - XXALF2 -KOR (KIES states that it wont be able to update firmware).
Now - XXALF2 - BTU (KIES does not show the latest firmware. Just the one on the phone).
I got this problem too i think it`s bcuz i rooted my phone..i have stock firmware btw
I have seen that on a few forums that rooting might trigger that. However I am on the stock firmware only. I haven't rooted my phone.
sry for double post but i fixed my problem
the only thing i had to do was to reset the counter with triangle away
Where is this triangle located?
anyone with rooting experience explain what the problem is or is this normal after rooting?
should i have only flashed PDA & not PHONE & CSC or is that not possible?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
here u can find triangle away all u have to do is install the app and then press reset counter after u open the app
then it will reboot and then u have to press the volume up button to reset the counter
sry for my english
Do I need to root my phone. If so, how and how can I unroot it after using the application?
if ur not rooted u dont need to run triangle away bcuz ur counter is set to 0 by default
there must be another solution for you...just wait to somebody else answer..
i thought even flashing stock with odin without root still bumps up the flash counter?
So I have managed to fix the problem. Here's my solution.
1) Root the phone.
2) Run the triangle away application to reset the counter.
3) After that's done, wipe the data on the phone (volume up+home+power button) and select the options:
a) wipe data/factory reset
b)wipe cache partition
c) advanced - wipe dalvik cache
4) Remove battery.
5) Put the battery back in and hold (volume down+home+power button).
6)Start ODIN and restore to the firmware that was ON THE PHONE.
7)Reset the phone to default after thats done.
I did that and now KIES is back to normal for me. And now it show XXALF2 (BTU).

Although i have not done anything but root
Kies upgrade depends onan actual upgrade for the firmware being on the server .Also the phone codes you present it matching firmware on the server.Root may or may not alter such codes.
Solution ignore Kies join XDA and learn how to flash or download stock firmware .

I had the same problem. Just follow these steps to resolve it. Before following there steps, change your CSC to something other than 'KOR'.
1) Root the phone.
2) Run the triangle away application to reset the counter.

One question: the CSC from *#1234# on my phone displays I9300DBTALF4 where DBT is from a Germany firmware, and and the CSC from *#272*IMEI displays BOG (France)? Or there is no connection between these 2 names?
No need to root...
Use step 2 and 3 in @gee2012's signature..he made the second post.
go to samfirmware.com, register and search for galaxy s3 Romanian firmware.
Download rom to your PC and extract the zip.(password is samfirmware.com)
Then follow the guide in gee2012's step 3 on how to flash with Odin..

I have done this by mistake in the past using odin but I can't understand why it didn't work.
I have now a phone from Australia apparently and kies is not very helpful. I already have the BTU ELLA update but I'm not sure if it would work flashing that with odin. In the past it didn't work and I had to reflash the correct update.
Am I supposed to flash more than just the PDA?

No, just place the correct rom in PDA and flash it. The phone however has a specific sales code and if the installed firmware differs from the device`s country code Kies will not support updates. Only if you have the correct regional rom for your S3.
Thanks.
In the past I had used a BTU Tom instead of the vodafone specific on a i9300 and it had lost the notification bar and touzhwiz crashed.
Once I installed the vodafone specific rom it went back to normal.
I have now come across the ELLA update on a Australian import s3 and just flashed it with kies. Trouble I have with that now is that the bottom shortcuts somehow are stuck and wont be replaced. I will try and reflash the rom tomorrow with odin and if it doesn't work I'd like to try the international version of 4.1.2.
Did you wipe your device after flashing the firmware?
Some carriers do only than little modifications to the device and may cause incompatibilites with the standard roms.
How do I do a complete wipe?

Odin 3.04 does not see my phone. Only odin 1.85 can.
But even that version says that the md5 file I downloaded from sammobile is invalid.

Hi,
Me and my partner both got s3's recently his on contract mine on like buy as you view. Mine received the 4.1.1 update through the phone and after waiting a few weeks and still nothing on his we decided to update it via computer. I used odin because i saw on a post that thats what you were supposed to use and flashed it to 4.1.1. I then realised i had put the wrong version on (German one i think) and it was causing errors so we flashed again to 4.1.1 the UK version.
He is now on:
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version I9300XXDLID
I do not know if that's correct but everything seems a ok.
However since then my phone received the 4.1.2 update and we want the same update on his phone. It does not find it on the phone. Since then i learned KIES is the samsung software not odin. No updates can be found via KIES cos the software isn't supported. I want to be able to use KIES with his phone again, can i reverse the odin update anyway?? I rang samsung and he told me it will be like that forever now and i will never be able to use KIES?
Can anyone assist me. I really want ot be able to update from KIES again instead of using odin.
Sorry if i sound like a noob im only good with apple technology haha!! :laugh:
(edit)
P.S. My software is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
we are both on Orange if thats any help? His came on Ice Cream Sandwich though and mine came on 4.1.1
If the phone isnt locked on orange just download 4.1.2 from sammobile and instal via odin as u did beffore.

Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to
Voila, stock as used to.
Kind regards,

I've been wondering, does this method wipe user data or not?
Just curious.

im not bothered about loosing my user data but the option isnt there for me, it says phones that need this are listed below and the phone does not show. Not even if i put it in recovery mode. Any assistance would be great i am however just going to download some 4.1.2's today to try and fix it. I did notice however that when in download mode at the bottom it said something about multi CSC should it say this? LOL i wish i was more technologically savvy but i am literally only good at apple software. Wish id just waited Someone said to do one with BTU on the end and it should correct the CSC code? any idea if this is right?
I should however imagine it would delete all user data, people on other posts have said it was lost

Ok if u want the 4.1.2 update and u want to be able to use OTA i advise u to do flash the latest 4.1.2 room from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 there is even a guide there how to flash it , if your device shows modified status after the flash just reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen , then u will see the recovery options, do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot and u should now be able to receive OTA updates .
I am also using the same room and all is working ok OTA shows no new updates but i think when the updates hits i will be able to get it via OTA , kies is not working but i think u dont need to worry about it because u can always flash via Odin .
Here is a guide how to flash a room with working Kies and OTA
First u need to root your device u can do this by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Edit: When u finish rooting u should use this app its called triangle away http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 and use it to reset the counter .
When u are done with triangle away then download this on your phone it available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Run it and change your CSC to BTU this will factory reset your phone after u done that u should flash the UK room from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
When u finish that u should boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset , you should now be able to use Kies .
I am not sure this will work 100% but it should , if u could remember what was the CSC and room before you flashed the devices with odin you could flash that firmware.
Tell me if it worked.
