Hi,
Kies doesn't know what firmware my phone, how can I solve this problem without having to root the phone or change roms?
Thanks
Rooting is not required to change ROMs.
The most important thing is, what ROM have you on your phone?
If you have a ROM that is not a standard ROM (stock or branded) then Kies will not recognise it.
Its a stock rom.
Something got messed up with the last update, and since then kies won't recgonize the firmware..
What should I do then?
By the way, the new update is 2.3.4?
thanks
If something got messed up, then reflash the ROM you can use Odin and use the stock ROM in the ROM Developers section.
maybe an older version of Kies might help..try searching the forum cause yesterday the same topic as your asking came up and few suggested rolling back the Kies version...new one is having problems i heard
dont know if this help you but worth a try

Will reflashing the rom delete all the phone's data?
Thank you both

if your talking about apps and stuff i cant remember to be honest cause i rarely use odin but i think it does a complete wipe so i say yes you will lose data..
but as the guy above said try reflashing a stock rom and once your back up and running we can take the next step...
word of advice...2.3.5 officially has not been released in the UK..if i did not root i would be only updated to 2.3.4 the last few weeks...i do all my updating through custom roms or even by Intratech thread were he has all the latest releases..Kies for me is a no goes anymore....
so do your reading and if you ever need any hand send me a message and if i can help i will

You welcome.
i remember when i tried to change kernels from CF-root thread i could not get kies to recognize it...so tried to find the one that matched the closest and region i am and bam it worked..updated my firmware through kies and that was the end of it...but if you use a kernel to root and try and to update it through kies you lose your root...so my advice find a kernel that matches your firmware then by all means go ahead root and try flashing roms...you can always go back on stock if you want...
but do your reading and like i said you want a hand if i can i will help you
Why kies doesnt recognize my firmware
Yesterday i flashed my SGSII with I9100XWKI8 2.3.5 firmware, before that i had I9100XXKH3 2.3.4. Both Firmwares are European i believe. In both cases my Kies do not recognize it.
i installed the stock firmware no root at all
Is it because i live in South America?

No its because you changed product codes and other info on the phone .Nothing now matches an update on the Kies server .

Hi, I'm new here, so sorry for my question.
I just update my firmware with kies the root disappeared. I've got my phone rooted from the stock. Now I want to update to 2.3.5 and I need to root again, but I can't find the insecure kernel I9100BVKH1 to root. Can someone help me what to do so I can root my phone? And if I update to 2.3.5 (now I have 2.3.3) kies won't recognize the new firmware? Thanks!

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

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.

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

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

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 .,

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

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.
Hey everyone, Merry Christmas
Since the day I've brought my GSII I've been running VillainROM. It's great and I don't have any issues with it but I live in an area of exceptionally low signal. My network provider is Orange and I believe the Galaxy SII supports their UMA Signal Boost app that will allow me to connect to the Orange network via my home broadband (over WiFi) and thus give me signal for once!!
I've done some research and it doesn't seem like it's possible to just download an .apk of the Signal Boost app, so the only thing I can think of doing is completely wiping my phone and putting the latest official Orange UK/Galaxy SII ROM on it. While I love the benefits of a custom ROM, signal is more important to me (it is a phone, after all....)
I've never had to revert to stock, so could some kind soul please give me a guide on what I need to do? Where do I get the latest version of the Orange ROM? Do I flash it in the same way I would flash a custom ROM? If that's the case, so I then lose root access and recovery mode?
And finally...will my Tiny Tower game save be lost?? Or does Mobage keep game progress on their servers?? (Priorities, eh! haha)
Sorry for all the questions, any help that you can provide would be awesome.
EDIT- One final question I have just thought of. How do I also get the modem back to the original version? Will flashing everything back to stock solve this? I basically want to reset everything so that it's like I just purchased the phone from Orange.

Sorry for my stupidity but I still don't really know what ROM I should be flashing from the list...there appear to be three: BVKE3, BVKG3 and BVKJ4. Shall I just pick any one that I fancy?
Once I've flashed the appropriate ROM, do I then update the modem manually myself via ODIN? If so, what modem do I select? Or could I install the new ROM, hook it up to Kies and it will do the rest for me?
Many thanks

Start with the latest rom flash via Odin try Kies for update though rom you have may be newer than kies version .
Test phone then a modem can be flashed via Odin as Phone start again with last one and work back .

Sorry mate, I don't really understand what you just said there. I am being a bit dense, I know that, but I'm after a really clear guide as I'm mega scared to ruining my phone.
From what I gather I need to do this:
1. Download the firmware: PDA:BVKJ4|PHONE:BVKJ4|CSC:ORAKJ4, BVKJ4 Stock Kernel and the correct modem (BVKJ4)
2. Download ODIN
3. Flash the firmware through ODIN using the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
4. Flash the BVKJ4 stock kernel
5. Flash the appropriate modem.
Does that round about right?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually, I've just read somewhere that flashing the firmware does the kernel and modem all in one. Is that right?
EDIT- Okay, so I bit the bullet and flashed the BVKJ4 firmware. I'm now stuck in a boot loop.
So, I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20656074#post20656074 which told me to flash the KI3 firmware as this will do a full wipe and THEN install BVKJ4. I'm going to give this a try now and will report back...
EDIT 2 - Okay, so the KI3 flash worked I'm now reflashing the BVKJ4 firmware in the hope that it works and I can get that blasted Signal Boost app...
Update on what's happened since my last post. I have successfully updated to what I think is the latest firmware version on Orange (UK).
Kies now says that my phone cannot be updated. Can someone let me know what I should flash in order to allow Kies to manage this for me? Noe I've gone back to stock, it's just easier to allow Kies to sort it out for me, instead of me keeping up to date with the million threads on the internet with the latest ROMs.
Thanks.

KIES cannot update unless the provider has given an update to the KIES server . If you have flashed Orange firmware its they who supply KIES .Ask Orange for last update .
If you have flashed various roms you may find your product codes no longer match any firmware .You need a total removal of KIES and all KIES registry settings from your PC .

Well, prior to rooting my phone in the first place, Kies was fine with updating my firmware. I got it from Phones4U on release day, so it's not carrier branded. I believe (although I'm not 100% sure) that I wouldn't have had the Orange firmware but rather the generic Samsung firmware.
The only reason I'm flashing the Orange firmware is for Signal Boost. But as I said previously, I don't want to keep checking the internet for new software versions. When ICS is ready for example, I just want Kies to manage the update for me. Could you please let me know whether completely uninstalling Kies (and registry entries) will fix my issue? It's a lot of effort if it won't and I need to install a different firmware version instead.
Thanks.
It might is the answer .
You have gone down the non standard firmware path by rooting and installing custom roms thereby changing codes .
If the codes on your phone match a KIES update then it updates its as simple as that .
Basic problem is not saving a copy of original firmware and all its codes that might have helped .Find your original firmware flash it and see if KIES will update .

i saw your version
flashing will not brick phone if you flash 5830 roms with proper instruction which you can get in some sticky
offcourse your phone will be updated through kies but you will have to wait for update for that specific region [in this case india if ddkq6]
all GB roms on sammobile are flashable for you...
PDA CSC stuffs give you info about region , specific identifier for update etc stuff
i was also very much concerned when first flash phone with odin... read instuctions carefully and flash device specific roms only
you might not be able to get updates through kies as samsung delays updates between regions.. so most of guys flash through odin itself
Thanx really a lot mate.
but I could only find DDKQ5. not 6
And as I am not able to root my phone, how do I back up my current Rom?
I couldnt resist and flashed S5830XWKS9_S5830XWKS2_S5830VGFKS1_HOME.tar.md5
Everything working but I have got Virgin Mobile shortcuts and Jeux game. Cant uninstall it.

I was tempted to flash Russian 2.3.6 and I did it successfully. Cleared cache and factory reset and now even Kies accepts it and will update when available.
It is far better. I have lots of Ram available now.
Hello,
I know that there are probably a couple of threads on what i will ask now, but I have a couple of questions regarding the I9100P firmware.
First of all I installed a i9100 firmware(4.03) via ODIN.Does this mean I routed my phone? Kies now tells me that i can not update my phone because my device does not support update with kies.
How can I flash it back to my 2.3.4 firmware? Must I download the firmware from sammobile.com?
Best regards.

More like you have not got the firmware for your phones codes and Kies sees no match . But then agian as ICS is not yet rolled out their may be no upgrade yet .

So how can i delete ICS 4.03 firmware if I want? By installing an 2.3.4 firmware or is there any method? I don't really understand the method though I read a couple of threads about it.

Problems you may need to flash the old bootloader .
How to get an update via KIES one install your original saved firmware or find it via Checkfus .
Whenever the phone provider and Samsung have uploaded new firmware for your phone then KIES will offer it to you .
