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.
Hi all, hope someone can help me out here.
I am using N7100
Version 4.1.1
Base Band Version N7100XXALJ2
Build Number JRO03C.N7100ASALK3
I tried to get the new version 4.1.2 through OTA but it seems keep checking for software updates and than nothing happen.
And I tried to by Kies and it said that I have the newest version already.
Do I have the newest version already ?
Thanks everyone for the help in advance.

I rooted back before and now I rolled back to the Offical Firm ware which I mentioned above.
I even did the triangle away so it reset to "0"

Yes.
I have heard others having similar problems if they have modified their phone in any way.
On your phone go to Settings > About device > Status > Device status. What does this show? Is it Modified ?
Download and flash via odin

I am sure you can but you will need to download the official stock ROM for your handset and flash again using ODIN. Best check with people who are more 'in the know' on here though first.
Samsung are making it harder for us people messing around with their phones.
I have the same problem. The OTA update didn't roll out on my phone yet and Samsung Kies tells me I have the latest version. However, my device status says normal and I've checked my flash counter on Download Mode and it said no. (Bought this Note 2 second handedly so I didn't know if the previous owner had rooted this device.)

Thanks for the info, may be I should try to roll back the stock ROM by ODIN and see if I can get the update.
Thank you all.
Regards,
you don't have update because there is no update for your CSC (for now).
Check your CSC to be 100% sure (not csc from *#1234# ,but csc that is showing this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=pl )

There is no update for my CSC either but the original poster has the same problem as mine where it keeps checking and does not respond. It should let you know if there is an update or not. In the OP's case that does not happen.

My way to solve this problem:
After rooted and reseting counter with triangle away,
After that, make a full wipe data in recovery mode. (so, make a backup up)
Now in status, check device status. It shoud be 'normal' and you can now check update

the first that you should know if it is a 4.1.2 rom in you country/mobile company. Some companies have a slooooow development.
If there is check kies. there is an option (I cant remember what it says esactly) which makes you write your model name and your serial. This update the device to the latest update in theory skipping this check for modifications. It will make a factori reset in your phone so backup important files.
The most important thing is to check the antivirus and the firewall it is known that sometimes it deny the acces to check OTAs
hope it have been useful for U!

Thank you very much!
I talked to Samsung Norway and they said the update was avaible. I then told them it wasnt working, and their solution was... wait for it... return the phone...
After your post I trailed the forum, found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809
It worked like a charm. It downloaded the update, put in on the phone, and it even didnt erase ANY of my settings while updating. It booted up, and there it was, an updated verion with all my apps and setting.
Thank you very much, once again!
Firmware Upgrade
I am unfortunately having problems updating my N7100 also. I am a bit perplexed and dont know what I have done wrong if anything.
First off my phone is not rooted at the moment and as far as I can tell was never rooted (bought brand new / device status shows normal). Here are the steps that I used:
1. Downloaded KIES onto macbook.
2. Attached phone via usb cable.
3. Followed on screen instructions for firmware update. Took about 10 min to do its thing.
4. Phone rebooted automatically and applied upgrade.
After all was complete my android version still shows 4.1.1
What the heck is wrong? I saw the upgrade taking place (I guess it was upgrading).
Now when I am attached via KIES it shows:
Current Firmware version: PDA: LJ3 / PHONE: LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (AFR)
Latest Firmware version : PDA: LJ3 / PHONE: LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (AFR)
Can anyone please advise what is going on here please?
Thanks in advance,

Hi
When i bought my galaxy note 2, i received an ota update from lj1 to lj3. My CSC is switzerland unbranded (AUT).
The first time that I connect to kies I saw that didn't show the firmware version and when I force to check it says that my phone don't support initialization. I tried on my 3 computers, two running windows 7 and one windows 8 with av disabled.
So I can't update via kies.
Via ota I received only the first time, with dll7 for my CSC on sammobile, never received a notification to update. I tried to clear data for software update app to force but says your software is up to date.
I used odin to update my phone with the firmware from sam mobile. This is the only solution that works.
But it is not a official solution... And if I didn't knew odin? And the other people that don't have knowledge to do that stay in 4.1.1?
This is a big bug from Samsung and incomprehensible.
My CSC is the only with this problem?
I never root this phone and the device status is normal.
Thanks for the help

For your CSC (AUT) i think LJ3 is latest and still not update roll out yet.
I recommend to update manually with Odin, as 4.1.1 have SDS a brick bug.
You can update to any country ROM, Feb released 4.1.2 are nice ROM, and when update release for your country, you may odin again to revert to your country ROM.

I updated to DLL7 for my country a month ago via Odin, it is available on sammobile
you can check here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-N7100&pcode=AUT#firmware
yeah but LL7 was rolled back in most of countries
So if you already have LL7 then nothing to worry about SDS and can wait for next update.

i connected my GSIII to Kies to check for the 4.3 update, which i guess hasnt come out yet. but instead of telling me that the firmware is up-to-date it says "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies."
any idea why?
i Have an AT&T Galaxy SII (Rooted) on Official Android 4.1.2.
thanks in advance
I was told being rooted would give this error.
You can blame your carrier for this one. Sometimes OTA updates from your carrier can cause that message to appear, and Kies will say its an invalid ROM
Hey guys, I hope someone can help me with this problem.
So, as title says, I have a problem updating my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT9195) Black Edition to the latest Android OS. I bought it a week ago and It runs 4.2.2 now but when I go to "About device > Software Update > Check for update" it always says that "there is no software update available at this moment". I installed Kies, connected the device via USB cable and checked for update (as a friend told me to do) ... same result.. It showed me I have the latest OS version installed. I thought that maybe 4.4.2 did not yet arrived for the users from my country but what I don't understand is why doesn't it update to 4.3 ? I see there is a 4.3 official update available and on samsung' site it shows the phone runs 4.3 JB+. That's why I don't get what is wrong with my phone.

Nothing is wrong. Each region has they all specific product code, different carrier/network could has also they own code. If it says no update, that just means no official updates. If you really want the update, check: http://samsung-updates.com/ for official firmware updates. Or simply use a custom ROM - it is one of the reasons why people chose to use custom ROM.

Well bought this phone free of contract, it's not locked in any network and I'm from Romania, Europe. 4.3 update got released many months ago so I really don't understand.... is there something about my country.
Manually installing an official ROM from Samsung-updates will not remove my warranty?

You really need to ask the local Samsung that question...
If you have Knox, unfortunately it will void your warranty, so check see if your phone has Knox buy going to download mode.
