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.
When I connect my Note II to my pc and launch Kies to sync and backup my info on my phone it says "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies.
Current Firmware: PDA:MA4 / PHONE:MA4 / CSC:MA4 (ATT)
Is this correct on Kies or do I have a different firmware on my Note II? I have the factory firmware. The Only thing that I have updates on my Note II is when that Update patch was released via OTA. How do I get Kies to recognize my Phone's firmware?
One that other hand kinda off topic for this forum: I currently have the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from At&t and it has 4.0.4 firmware. Any word on it getting updated to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 via Kies or OTA?

This is normal. AT&T just pushed an OTA and Kies has yet to update with the new firmware version. I think it will get updated soon as UCAMA4 has just appeared on the SamMobile website.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Edit: As of 4/6/13, Kies now reflects UCAMA4 as the latest firmware.
I get this message:
"Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"
Any ideas? I want to update to try and address battery problems i'm having.
Current CSC is N5119OLBBMC9 if that helps anything...

Just to check the obvious -- are you on a stock Samsung unrooted ROM with no modifications to the system partition?
yup, totally stock.
Anyone?
My phone is a ACE 2 GT-i8160 Sim free and un-rooted.
I picked this phone as it was to be upgraded to Jellybean.
PC is Win 7 Pro 64bit
Kies reports there is an update,
Current firmware version : PDA:LK7 / PHONE:LK7 / CSC:LK7 (BTU)
Latest firmware version : PDA:MF1 / PHONE:MF1 / CSC:MF1 (BTU)
Start update following instructions, reports=
Preparing firmware upgrade components, then a NOTICE window,
ErrorCode=5, ErrorMessage= The operation Completed Successfully
Clear that window and it then re-starts the upgrade.
Same result on a Notebook Win7 Home 32bit
Can't find any referance to this Kies Error code 5

Any request snooping/modification app, for me it was Fiddler4.
When I first bought this phone, I bought it from amazon and it was an AT&T locked Galaxy s3. I unlocked it using an app called unlockunit and I'm now using it with GoSmart, which is a part of T-Mobile, if I remember correctly.
Anyhow, when I plug my phone into the computer to connect to Kies, Kies does not recognize the phone. When I use OTA updates, the update is interrupted before it starts. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I want to update to the Android version 4.3 but I can't so I'm stuck using 4.1.2
Okay, I got my phone to connect to kies, I have no idea why it was not earlier, but sometimes it tells me I have to reboot my device... but when I hit tools>firmware upgrade and initialisation, it says [ 'SGH-I747' does not support initilising. ] My current firmware version, according to Kies, is PDA:MG2 / PHONE:MG2 / CSC:MG2 (ATT).
Please help, I'm still trying to update my phone to the latest firmware.
Could I possibly update my phone to the latest firmware by rooting my phone?
