My phone is unrooted (and with the original ROM).
After installing Keys I get the message:
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies"
* Current firmware version: PDA|:LJ3 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (ILO)
If I select Tools->"Firmware Upgrade and Initialization", I get the message:
`GT-N7100' does not support initializing.
Any ideas?, thanks

Look here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N7100&pcode=ILO&os=1&type=1#firmware, if you have that firmware (N7100XXALIH) you have the correct version. If you don`t flash it with Odin. You have the wrong software atm for Kies support.
I have the exact same problem as amirdt.
My phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) runs the stock rom it came with. I haven't rooted the device since it works perfectly with the stock ROM, but once connected to Kies, I get following:
Firmware information:
Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
Current firmware version:
PDA:LJ3 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC:LJ4 (XXX) (What does the XXX stand for?)
Build number
N7100XXALJ3
Reading gee2012's reply above, I visited the site that was linked in the post and did a search on GT-7100. Found me a long list of frimwares. All of them were Android 4.1.1, except one:
GT-N7100 - Open Europe
PDA: N7100XXDLJ2
CSC: N7100OXADLJ2
Version: 4.1.2
Date: 2012-10-29
Regions: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
And this is pretty much where my knowledge comes to an end.
I find 64 matches for my current build and one for the 4.1.2 (listed above).
I don't understand why Kies is giving me the error message about my firmware not being supported
I don't know whether I am eligible to update my phone to Jellybean 4.1.2. Kies is a no-go because of the error message. If I try to select Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, I get the error "GT-N7100 does not support initializing".
If I try the "software update" check on my phone, it says "Latest updates have already been installed". I don't know what to do or believe on this one.
I'm kind of confused. I can't determine whether my phone is up to date and working as intended or if there is really something that is not right with the firmware. Should I be able to upgrade to Android 4.1.2?
I'm sorry for many questions, but right now I am both out of ideas and knowledge. If someone smarter than me could provide me some support/answers on this one, I'd be most happy. I use my phone a lot and it's my primary tool when on the field.

2 things:
1. If you want to update with Kies and receive OTA updates you need to flash the firmware that is specific for your country/region
2. If you want to flash the latest firmware like 4.1.2 you can flash any firmware with Odin but you cannot use Kies/OTA`s anymore.
This will also change the CSC file.

Thank you for a quick reply, gee2012.
I prefer to keep things as simple as possible without too much in-depth technical tweaking. Your answers confused me even more.
1. I have very little to no clue how to figure out what my firmware would be (Sweden - and there seem to be several of them), even less to determine which one it would be the right one.
2. I don't know whether to trust Kies or the "software update" in "About device". Kies reports an error, the software update says that all of the latest updates are already installed. Does this mean that OTA updates should work?
I'm sorry for asking more questions. What I would need a is a definite step-by-step guide how to fix these kinds of problems.

Check on www.sammobile.com/firmware for the latest firmware for your country/region. If that version is not identical to the version that is on your phone Kies and OTA`s will not work. In that case you need to download and flash that firmware from the Sammobile website. That`s it mate. You can check your firmware in the phone dialpad by pressing *#1234#.
Once again, thank you for your reply and guidance. I think things might become a bit interesting now:
GT-N7100 Nordic countries 2012 October Android 4.1.1 N7100XXALJ3 N7100OXXALJ4
The PDA=N7100XXALJ3 (displayed as "AP" when I did that dialpad trick you mentioned, and shows up as the build number in "About device") and CSC=N7100OXXALJ4. To me it looks like a match and also be the latest firmware for my country/region. If this is correct, then Kies and OTA should work? Kies still reports the same error about the firmware, but the software update option on the phone reports that latest updates have already been installed.
Does this indicate that the phone is working fine as is OTA, but Kies is not?
I also have this problem, I went from Omega rom back to stock through Kies recovery procedure. Now when I check it says the exact same thing
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies" Homw is this possible?
Thx

Hi. I'm new to this forum. Hope someone can help me or at least give light to the situation.
I followed the first option. i downloaded the official stock rom from sammobile for country: Philippines and Provider: Globe. and i was able to successfully flash it. my phone now shows the correct Kernels, etc.
However, when i tried to connect my Samsung Galaxy S2, Kies still says:
Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
- Current firmware version: PDA:LPF / PHONE:LPB / CSC:LPF (COA)
not sure if this is because this isn't the correct firmware for my phone, country and provider or if kies shows this error because the phone, which is a Samsung S2 I9100 is still not elligible to upgrade to JellyBean since Samsung still hasn't rolled out the Jelly Bean update for S2 yet. If it is the former, what should i do?
Hope the experts here can help me or clarify matters. Thanks in advance you guys.
Guys, same problem here.
Phone's ROM seems to be (as far as I can tell from Samfirmware) a Hong Kong/Phillipines version and to receive updates, from the guidance above, it seems I will have to flash UK stock ROM. On Samfirmware there does not appear to be a ROM for my carrier (Orange/EE) though the phone was bought unbranded, not through them. Couple of questions if anyone can help:
- So long as I flash a ROM for the right region, is it necessary to have the right carrier's ROM?
- Does anyone know if 4.1.2 is actually being distributed in the UK?
- I can swap SIM to O2 temporarily (There is an O2 ROM on Samfirmware). I presume if there is a uk (O2) update I could install their 4.1.1 stock, install the 4.1.2 update and the unlock the phone? Any problems with this?
Any help much appreciated.
(N7100 - Galaxy Note 2.)
SORTED! Flashed latest stock ROM from Samfirmware which is 4.1.1 (o2 UK) and multitasking features all working. Kies still says it won't update the phone. Phone says latest updates installed but as far as I can tell that's because 4.1.2 isn't out yet. Not particularly a problem now though. Will just flash latest stock when it comes available.

Hey Guys.
I am from Germany, so sorry for my bad English. I know of no better forum.
At Windows Mobile-times I was active here. Then I switched to Apple.
Now I am happy owner of a Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 here in Germany (without branding).
Many things have changed and are new to me. I have been searching but found no exact answers to my questions. I also read a lot of different informations. Therefore, I am careful and rather ask.
First the facts, then the questions:
Galaxy Note GT-N7100 II with Build Number JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1 (image infos)
Rooted with Odin and cwm6-root n7100.tar
Everything runs fine with no problems and I am fully satisfied with the smartphone.
This morning, the info came for an OTA update.
I'm not a fan of OTA, so I tried to update via KIES. ( firmware image)
PDA: LJ3 / PHONE: LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (DBT)
But that did not work because my device was modified. (Image error kies)
Then I looked at Sammobile and discovered the complete firmware. ( Sammobile image)
Now my questions:
1. Is there a way to install the update via KIES?
If so, is there a tutorial somewhere, perhaps Step by Step?
2. If I install the 900MB firmware from Sammobile using Odin, all settings and apps are gone?
3. If I update the firmware, I have to roote again?
4. Can I roote regardless of the firmware with cwm6 n7100.tar-root?
My wish is a guide or tips for the following:
I want my Galaxy Note to keep up to date without each time reinstall.
I want ONLY root and keep those rights.
Maybe I'll try again later also Custom Roms.
I welcome all the tips. If there is somewhere exact answers for that I am pleased with the link. And I'm sorry if I may have already read over answers.
Thx

Hi and welcome
It's normal that with kies you cannot upgrade your firmware on a rooted device.
So
1) use normaly the sammobile firmware you dont go to lose nothing, normally they are non wipe file
2) buy odin mobile on market and flash the firmware with this program, the pay version give you the opportunity of have root.
+1 mobile odin :good:
You can inject root, super user and mobile odin when flashing new firmware
Very handy.

First, thanks for the replies.
So that I understand correctly:
I go get MobilOdin, download the latest firmware (900mb) of sammobile. Then I store the firmware on the SD card and update with MobileOdin. In MobilOdin I select root. All settings and apps keep exist?
Now i read from another user:
As we all know Samsung devices has two or more ways to upgrade their software
Either by OTA & KIES which will keep the user data & preferences or the Odin which will wipe the cache & data .
Thats what i mean ... whats right, whats wrong?

Mate i did a factory reset before and after a flashing a stock rom
I called samsung service centre they told me it could be related to the pc im using
I followed the guys info then even it didnt work
He advise me t bring to a repair service point
Same here after flashing the Dutch firmware on the device. Kies doesn't want to have anything to do with my phone anymire. I even have a dialer now that doesn't respond to the *# codes... I tried factory reset etc. But without luck regarding csc. Ah well, phone works pretty well and we indeed have Odin.
Interested though when you find a solution!

Thats a promise!!
I am in a similar situation as some of you in this thread. I run my GT-N7100 on the stock ROM that it came with, I have not rooted the device or made any such changes to it. All I've done is to add the accounts and install the apps I need, seeing that my phone is my primary tool when o the field. Kies (version 2.5.0.12114_1, running on Windows 7) connects fine to my GT-N7100, but gives me the following error message:
Firmware information:
Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
On this one, I am not sure whether this is really an error or not. Some people say that it sits there until there is an update available and then will update. If someone can confirm this to be true, maybe the text is just a cryptic piece of text saying "you got the latest firmware so I can't update it for now"?
I am running following firmware: PDA:LJ13 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC:LJ4 (XXX). I have no idea what XXX is supposed to mean in this case. If I've understood it correct, it should give a hint about the countr/region, i.e. Korea and it should be (KOR) instead? In my case that should be (NEE) seeing that I reside within the Nordic Countries (according to the SamMobile Firmware Page).
More detailed information about my firmware:
PDA: N7100XXALJ3 (displayed as "AP" when performing *#1234# on my dialpad)
PHONE: N7100XXALJ2 (displayed as "CP" when performing *#1234# on my dialpad)
CSC: N7100OXXALJ4
From the SamMobile Firmware Page:
Latest firmware info
GT-N7100 - Nordic countries
PDA: N7100XXALJ3
CSC: N7100OXXALJ4
Version: 4.1.1
Modified: 2012-10-17
Regions: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
So far so good, I hope? To me it looks like a match. It is the latest firmware for the Nordic countries. However, Kies still gives me the error message about the firmware above. This brings me two questions
Is it really an error or is it just a piece of cryptic text?
Is my phone up to date as it should be? If so, why does Kies give me the error message about not supporting my firmware?
Now, hold and behold, there is yet another firmware out there:
GT-N7100 - Nordic countries
PDA: N7100XXALJ1
CSC: N7100OXXALJ1
Version: 4.1.1
Date: 2012-10-03
Regions: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
The one above was released 2 weeks before the firmware I am using. My phone did not come with this firmware, so I haven't updated anything. This makes me wonder: is there something between these two firmwares that makes Kies act the way it does? If so, why? It makes me no sense.
Since Kies is displaying me what is a possible error message, I can't see if there are really any updates there for me. When I select Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization in Kies, I get the error message "GT-N7100 does not support initializing". So, obviously, something is wrong.
Now this brings up yet another question: If Kies is refusing for whatever reason to support the firmware I have now, will the phone's software update (found in "About device") be enough to download Jellybean 4.1.2 once it is available for the Nordic countries? I know I can always use Odin to flash it, but I would prefer to keep it as simple as possible.
Anyone have a clue what this could depend on? Firmwares and these kind of errors is not really within my area of knowledge, so please forgive me if I have not all details in place. I know there are many questions in my post, but it would be great to get a more in-depth answer and explanation to what this could be about. I am stuck and this is what I've researched over the past hours. I don't know if it is to much of help, but this is as far as I got. Quite frankly, I don't know that the hell to do at this point...

I'd be interested in opinions on this too as I'm still waiting for BTU release but as of yet nothing, was just about to flash another 4.1.2 via odin but was unsure which one to flash on my BTU handset.....
Kies is useless on my pc anyway, it doesnt seem to recognise which firmware is installed (im using win 8 pro) but connected to my work pc it works fine.
I updated my phone system to 4.1.2
I updated myvphone sustem to 4.1.2 but it became so slow too
What is the phone's model #?
My device is GT-N7100 and I purchased it (8 months ago) from Samsung center.
My current firmware is 4.1.1 (see attached image)
4.3 is already available in my country which i checked on www.sammobile.com (see attached images)
The problem is that i don't get any notification to update software. Even if i manually try to do it by going into settings>about device>update software it still says "the latest update has already been installed".
Whereas, few of my other friends have already updated their devices though OTA without any problem.
Kindly guide me why i am not able to update my firmware through OTA?
Did you try to update with Kies ? Generally your first picture should have a last line which gives information of which country rom you have. Either picture is not seen fully or your Rom is not your country's rom(complicated sentence I know ) So if your ROM really have update Kies should see it but if your rom is an international rom or different country rom then OTA may not be possible through normal ways, you may have to use Odin.

Then manually flash the rom you want to use via ODIN.
If the answer is no, why have you posted this topic on XDA instead of your devices official support forum??
Ok.... Crazy Situation here.
I can not update from 4.2.2. When I try to update I get 'Registration Failed' message right before the update should start. I did register this tablet with my account @ samsung, but no joy.
Here is the backstory on this: My S 8.4 battery connector broke and I got a used main-board off ebay. I replaced it, did a factory reset, and I got 4.2.2 working. However no lollipop. I checked the codes on this 'new' tab:
Country is: France/FR
Original CSC Code: AUT
Firmware CSC Code: MKT
Active CSC Code: MKT
Current Firmware as reported by Kies: T700XXU0ANE3/T700MKT0ANE3/T700XXU0ANE3/T700XXU0ANE3 (MKT)
Yes, all one line.
I'm in USA and I'm hoping to get to the correct firmware.
I want to use odin to update to 5.0.2, but just want to make sure I can use this rom:
Product code XAR
PDA T700XXU1BOK1
CSC T700XAR1BOK1
Is this my ticket out of this problem?
Thanks

PDA T700XXU1BOK1
CSC T700XAR1BOK1
Is this my ticket out of this problem?
Thanks

You should be just fine flashing T700XXU1BOK1 with Odin. I've installed other region firmwares before without issue.
EDIT: If you'd prefer the French region though, go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647) and use the software provided to download whichever firmware you need or want. Just enter the PDA and CSC into the appropriate fields.
Thanks noxarcana.
I was hoping that this would do it. BTW: Nice little tool you linked to!
From what I read the CSC codes now come from inside the ROM, so once I go with T700XXU1BOK1, I will get USA region? Just want to make sure.
And this update WILL wipe everything out, right?
Did anybody try IronMan ROM for T700? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235
How does this MOD deal with the country codes? Would it be USA?
Thanks
So, I thought I had replied to this but apparently I my mind lied to me. Yes, if you flash BOK1, you will be using the US region (also known as Cellular South...for some reason).
IronRom is one of my top 3 roms for this device! Since it is a custom rom though, you don't have to worry about CSC and PDA codes. Just make sure you get the correct zip file for your device (ie: T700, 5T800, etc.).
