Firmware not updatable

I flashed my firmware and samsung kies doesnt read it so I cant update my phone.
Running on 2.2.1
PDA : I9003DDKB2
PHONE : I9003ZTKB1
CSC : I9003ZZTKC1
I noticed I cant play some games either, and my phone tends to freeze at times
Whats a good firmware I can flash too that samsung kies would read.
Thanks.

There is no no indian firmware available that kies can update to, but u can flash european xxkb3, which is a lot less buggy.

Na, the PDA is Indian, but he is using Traditional Chinese area modem and CSC file. I think he better go samfirmware and get I9003ZTKC1 or so.
Just my 2 cents.
Dude nothing to worry just flash your phone with xxkb3 f.w

If there is a work around, please let me know.

[Q] Kies won't upgrade my Galaxy Ace

Hello, I have an ace with the galaxy android 2.2.1, I am trying to update it via the kies, but whenever I try to do the update, it locks up when my device restarts in downloading so... I tried three times always happens the same...
have reinstalled the drivers, before attempting the updates android... already updated the kies, I am now trying to update with the sd card in the device, do not know if it makes any difference...
sorry if this question has been discussed here, but did not find here.. and for my english...
Don't use Kies. Go for Odin.

KIES update very Slow. Try Odin
When I find a version I like, I'll try... For now I will continue with this one..

update your phone after 11 pm or update your phone by OTA
Odin will help you. It it thought to be stable and safe just like Kies. And easy, too
I would not have problems using the odin and i believe he is well stable... But I will not have problems with the warranty of my device wich had problems and returned a short time of the repair.

The proceedure to Flash via ODIN is the same for all Official Roms. You can get a few posts in the GENERAL FORUM.

Try uninstalling Kies and then reinstall it again. Look for updates for Kies after the installation and then connect your phone to Kies through USB (better not use a usb-hub).
You could also flash this rom http://www.hotfile.com/dl/157417221/c9a3748/N7000XXLQ2_N7000XEULP4_XEU.zip.html with Odin manualy (not for Carphone Warehouse)
also double check you are not rooted if using kies
if u r the kies wont update
ICS has not yet been made available to all galaxy notes as OTA. more and more countries are being updated, but there are still some countries and carriers that dont have it yet.
ie. im in australia, but my phone is the polish PLUS model. still stuck on gingerbread. tempted to flash to another gingerbread version and then update OTA, but i dont feel like setting everything up on my phone again.
yeah i dont wanna set it all up again, spent weeks sorting it out. i guess ill just have to wait....
if my phone is unlocked though who will the update come from?

Yes mate, thats what i did :good:
You will not get ota's unless you do a full wipe so the csc will change to Germany
how to you change to German and is the original ee firmware available if I need to go back. Are everything okay with your phone with the new firmware and did you unlock yours like I did sorry for all the questions

Bll3 for i9305 for EE UK ver 4.1.2 is out, find it on samsung-updates.com

Hi all, just as a confirmation to me being very new to this :
Using odin to flash this ee rom will still allow my device to get OTAs with the assumption that a full wipe has taken place.
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your time

[Q] [Question] How to Flash Stock ROM without ODIN

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I have a S5830L which I've downloaded the Samsung Unbranded Stock ROM GB 2.3.6 for this phone.
The problem is that when I put it on Download mode ODIN detects it BUT when I click on start it stops on "SetupConnection" and after 10 min it shows fail.
The phone is running fine, but It has the carriers ROM and with version 2.3.4, with CWM
How can I flash it via ODIN or another method?
I cannot figure out...
Thanks!
There's a thing called mobile Odin. Not sure if it works for your device but you can use the search option here to find out more...

you say it already has CWM, just use CWM to flash StockLite ROM almost similar with STOCK ROM

Hi h00039!
I'd like to ask you two questions: are you sure that heimdall suports our S5830? What version?
I've not seen that, but I don't know...
Thanks in advance.
