Hi,
I have got my S3 few months back from US and currently I am using it in India. Its an international version unlocked phone which is running with Vodafone service provider.
I connected my S3 to Kies and I got a notification that latest firmware avaiable. I clicked on upgrade. And my device was neither in Download mode or Recovery mode when connected to kies via PC.
Kies downloaded the latest firmware & completed, but I cannot see the 4.1.2 on my S3. And now even Kies is not showing me that there is latest version available.
Below are the details
Current firmware version: PDA:LJ2 / PHONE:LID / CSC:LJ2(XEF)
When dialed with keypad @#1234# Now I get-
AP : I9300XXDLJ2
CP : I9300XXDLID
CSC : I9300XEFDLJ2
What is AP & CP. It must be PDA/PHONE. & I think LJ2 still means my android version is 4.1.1 only. How do I update my S3 to 4.1.2 using kies.
I dont want to use Odin as i want my warranty not to be broken.
Note: When i was downloading the firmware through kies, my device was not in download mode. Is that why the upgrade is not applied on S3.
Please help !!!
Thanks.
Suggest you take the time to read the basics .
I dont want to use Odin as i want my warranty not to be broken.>> Odin has nothing to do with warranty . You need to read the basic faqs and guides as posted in GENERAL section .
Kies follow the instructions only .
I9300XXDLJ2 is 4.1.1
You are also in the wrong forum this is I9305 Q&A

Sorry for posting my thread in wrong section. But can you please tell me in my case if I have to upgrade to 4.1.2 using kies what can I do.

Hi guys.
I just got a SGS yesterday as my HTC Desire was stolen last week.
The one I got is a German T-Mobile branded phone (has customised boot and shutdown logo) and I really wan't to get rid of the branding and all those useless apps on it. I live in Denmark so i have no use for T-Mobiles apps that don't work here.
Now i have been reading a lot yesterday on these forums and reading lots of guides but I'm still unsure what route to go. Currently the phone is running 2.1 and I wan't to upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1 but unbranded, and then root the phone a bit later and probably move to Darky's Gingerbread edition ROM.
From what i can gather there are 2 methods to do this, but I can't really find out witch one would be right for debranding.
1. Using KIES registry pattcher and change my product code to XEE (Nordics) and try that to flash it to official 2.2 and root that.
2. Using this [HOWTO] manually flash Samsung Galaxy S with JPY firmware ** WORKS **
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
[EDIT] Forgot to mention that i can boot the phone in both download mode and recovery mode holding the 3 buttons, so no need to fix that first.
Information on my phone:
Product code from KIES registry:GT-I9000HKDDTM
*#1234#
PDA: I9000BOJG3
PHONE: I9000BOJF1
CSC: I9000GDTMJH2
Build number:ECLAIR.BOJG3
Firmware revision:2.1-update1
Baseband:I9000BOJF1
Kernel version:[email protected] #2
1. Using KIES registry pattcher and change my product code to XEE (Nordics) and try that to flash it to official 2.2 and root that.
Thats the way to go but you would be best to safe a copy of the current ROM for warranty purposes as you would need to flash it back to make a claim .
Flashing via Odin only if you cannot use method 1 .
jje
Ok, thanks.
But how do I make a backup of the current rom? There is no download for it at far as i can tell.
Get Backup from Samfirmware.com
Go to Samfirmware.com click on Firmware then go to Firmware Section. Select then Android and then Galaxy S GT-I9000. Then download the I9000XWJG3 firmware.
Done

But XWJG3 is not a T-Mobile branded firmware is it? If it is nothing on these guides makes any sense.
Btw I did find a I9000BOJG3.rar file on some download page, downloaded and it does contain the following files that match my current versions. I have no idea if it's a working flash but if it is I would be able to flash thsi from odin to return to stock right?
I9000BOJG3.rar file contains:
CODE_I9000BOJG3.tar.md5
CSC_I9000GDTMJH2.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000BOJF1.tar.md5
Oh my Fault. I tought that only the ending is important (Like if the ending is JP7 than it's a Vodafone Firmware and if the ending is JG3 it's a T-Mobile
But XWJG3 is not a T-Mobile branded firmware is it? If it is nothing on these guides makes any sense
You get branded firmware from the network operator .
All firmware on these pages is non branded .
Again my suggestion is to use Kies registry patcher and spoof the update to whatever you want .

I'm also trying to debrand my SGS and get Froyo, but I'd also like to make a backup of my original ROM. However, my ROM isn't available in samfirmware.com. It's I9000BVJJI1 and I want to update to I9000BVJJPD, which one of my friends has and probably is the same hardware.
Is there any way to backup my original ROM?
Your rom and every network rom comes from the network Sam is generic base roms .
Back up = Clockwork Mod Recovery to save the rom .
May i repeat if you dont know what you are doing then dont this forum is littered with broken phones belong to newbies who have not bothered to read and understand and now need to take the phone back to Samsung for repair with non valid firmware that has invalidated the warranty .
jje
Just did the update via KIES using the patcher and everything went smooth.
Saved the new firmware during flashing and a factory reset after the flash as i had basically nothing on the phone yet.
Right now I'm on 2.2
PDA: I9000XWJPA
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000XEEJP4
Not rooted yet, but I'm gonna do that tomorrow probably.
Hi
I'm helping out a friend, and we are having some troubles being able to update via Kies.
In Kies, the firmware is listed as: (blank field/none)
And we get the message "no update available"
1. USB debugging is disabled (tried enabling)
2. Tried editing Regedit
http://getandroidstuff.com/tutorial-force-kies-update-samsung-galaxy-regedit-guide/
3. Tried flashing pit, PDA, modem and CSC that are corresponding to eachother.
XXJPU from here:
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...cial)(firmwares)galaxy-s-i9000-download-only/
4. Tried hard reset
Nothing seems to work. Are the any edits in the above shown tutorials which could lead to succes?
It has taking quite a lot of time and searching and googling, and we are close to giving up. We are 2 android well experienced android users, one of use mobile supporter, and we can't get it to work. All of our experience combined, didn't fix the problem.
What to do?
Thanks in advance
Why do you want to upgrade via kies??? Just use Odin to go to whatever firmware you want... what are you running now?

Because the owner don't feel safe using Odin and want's the function to be working.
Running stock 2.2.1 XXJPY now
We tried flashing different ROM's via Odin
Kies updates official firmware that came with the phone .
You have flashed stock firmware Kies cannot update that .
Only update path is now via Odin .
You can try spoof firmware to correct product details .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
Other question is are you trying to upgrade too a firmware that does not exist
that is 2.2.1 is the very very very latest firmware .
Gingerbread 2.3 has not been released by Samsung yet .
jje
The problem is that the firmware field is left blank...
it doesn't recognize the firmware I guess, but it should be stock 2.2.1 and then it would be able to recognize it, but it doesn't.
Are there any known problems regarding x64 windows?
Will try the spoof, but I think it is the same as altering Regedit
Howcome, Kies can't update that stock firmware we have flashed? the system files should be the same, as of modem, PDA and so on.
Kies spoof method is your only choice .
Stock firmware from samfirmware etc is not the firmware that came with your phone so IDs do not and will not match .
Below an example of legitimate O2 UK firmware ID upgradable by Kies .
Replace that with stock and codes change and fail to match anything on the server .
KIES does not recognize stock firmware .
Stock is not what comes with the phone .

Hi,
I flashed my SGS to CM7 and don't really like it. I have downloaded the firmware ( I9000DXJF4 )from sammobile and flashed it. However, I am unable to upgrade the firmware using Kies to the new firmware available thru Samsung.
My current version is as followed
PDA: I9000DXJF4
PHONE: I9000DXJF4
CSC: I9000OLBJF4
From the look of my phone, everything seem to be back to its original setting, with all the singtel (my telco provider ) apps. Now I am trying to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 (I think) using Kies. Kies prompted that it is unable to update the firmware. I tried the latest version of kies and also version 1.5. Both are unable to do so.
Anyone can kindly advise?
Try changing your CSC code to XEU. I encountered some issues with KIES updates when having CSC code KOR.
Hi,
I tried to change to XUE but this option is not available. I go into CSC by *#272*HHMM#. Is it wrong?
*#272*???????????????# (??????????????? it's your IMEI, it must have 15 digits)
or try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nfye.insanity.toolbox
Hi,
Thanks for your help. I got my IMEI code. It pop up in a small window. Then I tried to change the CSC using the method u mentioned. But nothing happen. When I press the call button, it say "USSD code running..." then follow by "UNKNOWN APPLICATION"
I also tried to install the software, but it is only for android 2.2 and above. I tried to find the crack version for the premium version but cant find any. Do you have the premium version? Can upload to mediafire and send me the link?
Never try to install via KIES ..
Install via ODIN the Firmware you want it's simply better, even if ODIN is unofficial.
Introductions you will find by googleing I think .. it's easy.
Good luck and have fun
Hi,
Ya, using Odin now. But still prefer Kies over Odin. A lot of stuff become automatic with Kies.
I just flash to DXJG4 hoping to be able to link to kies but it failed.
I read that once the lagfix is fixed, there will be problem with kies. Am I fixing the lagfix in anyway thus leading to this problem?
Did you get solution to your problem? I had the same problem with a Galaxy Wonder... when i tried to upgrade via kies i got this screen..
That I cannot post actually because the forum prevents me from doing it...
BUT...
I tried OTA upgrade with perfect results... And the funny thing is that I NEVER before could start OTA...
BTW everything's fine now and I bumped to 2.3.6 ggbrd

You can download all the recent firmware from sammobile and you can flash it via odin. Flashing stock ROM via Odin

I'm assuming you'd have to go back to stock ROM to upgrade via Kies.

You need to be on stock rom for kies to work, just download the stock rom you want to download through kies and use odin
kids says device software not supported for update
Hi all,
I don't think this is hijacking...seems similar problem.
I flashed to ICS before it was released, now want to update to official version via kies...so I flashed to this with odin (downloaded from samfirmware.com)
PDA: i9100BOKK1
PHONE: i9100BOKJ1
CSC: i9100TMUKK1
But when I connect to kies it still says the 'device software does not support updating via kies'. I've tried flashing lots of other gingerbread firmwares from samfirmwares.com (need gingerbread so kies detects it needs updating). Really stuck now. How do i find which original stock firmware to flash to get dues to update? Tried the list on xda but still cqn't get it to allow an update. Is there something else that can cause kies to give that error, or is it definitely that I've got the wrong stock firmware? If so, is there a sure fire way to get the right one? I've tried the xda branded firmware list, that's where I got the link for this firmware above. Please help!
Wrong IMEI --> no Update
Check your IMEI (*#06#). Do you have your original number or is it changed to 004999010440000?
When I didn't succeed with OTA/Kies-Updates I found that the "developer IMEI" was the reason.
Hi guys.
I am unable to update my Galaxy Note by any means. Kies says that my device does not support software upgrading via Kies. When I tried OTA, I get a message saying Failed to update firmware.
This is not the ICS upgrade. This is a 72.29 MB upgrade rolled out months back. I have tried everything with Kies. It refuses to budge.
I have browsed several threads but none provided me with a working solution. I read that sometimes the firmware is flashed when you give the phone for repairing. I DID give my phone at the service centre once and was handed back a completely fresh install of the software.
I am very noob-y in matters related to kernels and CSC and odin. A detailed answer would be really helpful. Your patience and effort is appreciated.
Please help guys. Thanks!
You can update to the latest version of ICS for India using the PC Odin. Thats the fastest way of upgrading. Follow the instruction that Dr Ketan has for upgrading to the Indian Rom of ICS.
hope this helps.
download the stock ics from samfirmwares.com
download pc odin
enable usb debugging
unknown sources
open pc odin
just open pda and browse to the tar file and do not change any other options and flash

download indian ics and use pc odin to update..
see this Dr. Ketan's link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667018
will wait for OTA update.. waited for such a longtime already!!
Karthikdoc - U dont have to wait for OTA update. It is already there.. Just keep refreshing .. I did a OTA update of Note to ICS almost a week ago .. and some even more earlier.
Profest - It would be good if you can go into
Settings --> About Phone
and provide us the Android version
Baseband version
Kernal version
Just want to make sure the samsung guys gave you a right flash and also to guide you in the right direction ..
Maybe factory reset will help.....
Afterall you will have to do it before upgrading to ICS.
