Kies only gives an update to the phone that have been updated by the phone provider .
Once you change the product codes then you may not get further kies updates .
A stock Samsung rom via Odin will not void warranty .

[Q] No Kies Support - How to get the right region/firmware?

Hi all,
I have bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy S 2 in China.
The Android version installed is 2.3.3; I tried to do an update via Kies but I got the infamous message that "firmware update is not supported" for my device. I understand from other posts in the forum that maybe the firmware installed is not matching with the original region of the device, in this case I should install the right firmware in order to get the support from Kies, am I right?
But my question is...how do I know the original firmware/region for my model?
The data of the device are the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected] #2 (does this mean the phone has been rooted?)
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
Sorry for the noob question, I tried to figure out from the sticky post and used search but I am still confused...(yes, I got intimidated by the welcoming video of the forum)
Thanks

Its not posible to know without evidence guess maybe.

NO its the signature
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
That reads as a custom rom by Quens ???
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
If its a i9100 and no other version pick a stock rom from the stock roms posts .
With later firmware and to match region phone is used in .

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.

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.
