I have the same problem. My device is Completly Stock, without root and with the latest Germany DBT firmware, without any modifications. Really, I tried everything, but this crappy Kies don't recognize my device with any ROM or CSC.
- The status on download mode is all ok
- *#1234#* - show the correct information
I would like to know what's the problem with this Crappy Kies.

Just reflash the rom with Odin and do a data/factory reset afterwards.

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...

Flash stock ?
Sent from my GT-N7100
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.
I'm tired of these ****ty korean bloatware.
I've been trying to flash F firmware on my unrooted N device for a week now with no success, it's always some kind of PIT/Partition error, ticked/unticked Re-partition, ticked/unticked NAND erase, Used/Unused PIT file, patched Odin, unpatched Odin, nothing works, always "Fail Secure (PIT)" error.
someone told me that the F CSC had a different partition than the N CSC, so how do I re-partition? why does it keep failing?
Can an International (F) firmware be flashed into a Korean (N) Device?
why isn't there a clear answer to this question anywhere?
yes i did. actually i took mine to a local mall mobile service shop. the tech guy installed twrp and installed a custom rom- something named lamlazy azmobile bla bla.. . it was all good. the ONLY thing missing was- OTA update. i did lot of youtube and google on this- in some i found the OTA still available in that particular rom while in others that OTA option is missing. that's why i reverted back to the stock KT-variant firmware.
right now i am on the hunt of how to just root and 'hack' the original firmware- just so i can get rid of KT apps which are in control of my only, current gripe- there is no Preferred Network selection option like you see on a global firmware. I only see 3G/LTE Auto and 3G Only options. I need unlocked 2G only, 3g only, 2g/3g auto, 2g/3g/lte auto option.
so, to answer your question- yes it is absolutely possible to convert any korea variant S9+ into global variant. at least with custom rom- not yet sure if it is possible with stock global rom/firmware.

yes you can do it, and no you dont need to bring it to a shop and pay someone. Just get patched Odin and the F variant firmware you want to flash.

already ahead of you, I installed Soldier rom with a F CSC but there some issues that you start to notice after a while because the the partition for the N CSC isn't the same as the F CSC, so the F CSC doesn't install completely.

like I stated in my op, patched odin didn't work for me no matter what I did, and I haven't seen anyone so far that confirms that it actually works in flashing an F firmware on an N device. so did you actually flash a F firmware on an N device yourself?

unpack both the korean firmware's CSC and the F CSC that youre trying to use, remove the pit from the F firmware, replace it with the Korean PIT, repack the file and flash it.
you can also try an older version of Odin, as that has caused so many headaches for folks in the past. Odin version mismatches can be a mother trucker
oh yes, i had the same issue when i tried patched odin. i didn't know much about PIT. so, after fiddling around for some time, i went back to stock KT firmware. by the way, have you seen this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycpnsWJdURQ
According to this, we need to root our phone, then remove CSC folder and restart. then copy-paste couple of files in the system folder. He did it on his Note 4 though. But my problem with network selection limitations and bloatwares are exactly the same as he was showing on his KT variant Note 4.
anyway, i will surely try extracting the PIT file fron N firmware and replace that in F firmware. any tips/guide how can i do that please?

What is the pit ?
And has anyone successfully managed to flash a F firmware onto a Korean phone ?
I'm using Samsung Note 10+
Model number SCV45, a Japanese variant with a name tag "au" & has the Snapdragon processor, not Exynos.
I want to flash the stock Firmware again.
I have visited SamMobile website to download the firmware of Note 10+. But there are lots of model number available like -
SM-N975F
SM-N975U
SM-N975U1
SM-N975W
SM-N9760
SM-N976B
SM-N976N
SM-N976Q.... so on.
But i didn't found "SCV45" model number.
As far as I know, SM-N975U, SM-N975U1 is for USA region with Snapdragon variant & SM-N975W is for canda region, also with Snapdragon.
If I flash any of the firmware of USA or Canada variant on my Japanese variant device through Odin, is there will be a problem. I have no idea about that as I'm a new user of Samsung. I have always used OnePlus. So I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware.
Please let me know about the fact.

Thanks a lot brother.
But actually, I want to try out US region firmware on my device. So I'm asking, is there any problem if I flashed
SM-N975U or SM-N975U1 firmware? What will happen if I do so?
I need a clear idea about that, because I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware & also I don't want my device turn into a bricked device.
Hope, I will get a clear idea from this XDA forum about that.
maybe your device is rooted or there is a mixed firmware so coming back to original firmware is not without risk
can you post :
- device version:
on dialer : *#1234# or *#12580*369#
Here is the Device Version that you want
Actually today I tried to add a edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile, here is what error message I got.
I have checked, I don't have root access. And I also running stock Firmware as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I don't know what is the actual problem. That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about that.
you can't flash a N970U or U1 full firmware
maybe only the CSC part if it work but at your own risk
I believe you can try to flash some completely other version, but no one can be sure if it will work.
I would suggest to have a spare Japan OFW to reflash if anything goes wrong.
Your latest FW according to samfirm should be -> SCV45 -> Region KDI
Version: SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45QDI1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3

I believe you can try to flash some completely other version, but no one can be sure if it will work.
I would suggest to have a spare Japan OFW to reflash if anything goes wrong.
Your latest FW according to samfirm should be -> SCV45 -> Region KDI
Version: SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45QDI1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3
FIlename: SCV45_3_20220314133230_x92etays47_fac.zip.enc4
Size: 6010MB

I know it's hard to find someone who has tried out what I asked for. I don't know whether it will work or not. But I just want to make sure that after flashing a different region firmware, it should not become a hard brick device.
If something goes wrong, at least I flash the SCV45, Japan variant firmware again & everything turns to a normal state as it is running now.
So should I proceed with SM-N975U, USA variant firmware? Will it gonna make my device hard brick? Can I come back to normal state by flashing SCV45 KDI firmware which is mentioned by you?
I need some suggestions. Nobody is answering

I would suggest you not to flash bootloader if possible. Everything else can be dealt with if bricked.

I would personally look for the model, which is the most similar to the japan one and just... pray while flashing

and also, dont forget to flash the "CSC" file, not the "home_CSC" to change the region. (the home_CSC doesn't change CSC and leaves your apps and other stuff intact. On the other hand, the CSC file wipes everything and changes the region.)

I am too much grateful to brother for your suggestions what I actually expected for.
I will follow all your instructions.
I will flash the "CSC" file only. Thanks for let me clear about this thing.
I have just a little confusion about what you have told above.
You suggest me not to flash bootloader. Can you please give me a clear idea how can I skip it or at what step, I should not flash the bootloader? I have just this confusion.

Well... You have to flash through ODIN.
So. In the ODIN you have several options on what to do (what to flash). When you download the FIRMWARE you will have to decompress it. there will be different files -> BL (Bootloader - BL), PDA (the firmware - AP), PHONE (modem and stuff - CP) and CSC (vendor or region specific info).
Firstly I would try to flash only AP + CP + CSC. Which means Firmware + Phone + CSC. Be sure to flash the same version of Android as you have. In that case it should... maybe... probably work the same. If you have bootloader from Android 11 and you try to flash Android 11 from another version, it should work theoretically....
But if you try to flash eg. Android 12 over Android 11 it won't work because the Android 12 uses different bootloader and you need to update it.
It would be most desired to flash the bootloader also. But my suggestion for you is to try flash different version without the bootloader (if it can be done). Because if you don't screw up the bootloader, you will be always able to boot to bootloader a flash back the original firmware.
I don't have the knowledge to tell you, that if you flash USA version of bootloader to the JAPAN version of bootloader that it will work. It probably should, but I believe, noone can answer that and it's just that you will have to try it.
I believe that the ODIN will tell you that you are trying to flash firmware from completely different device and if you are sure to do that.
So again:
1) download firmware from different location with the same android version
2) decompress the firmware
3) in the ODIN -> add only AP, CP, CSC (don't add the bootloader)
4) try to flash!
If it doesn't work, you can try even to flash the bootloader, but I'm a bit worried about that one....
I am highly grateful to you as you have explained the whole thing so clearly. Now I understand all the steps that I need to do. Thank you so much for clearing up the matter in so much detail. Now I can proceed.
I will try as per your suggestion. Let's see what happened.
Thanks again.
bootloader is in AP !

Then what should I do?
before flashing a part of firmware , i think it's better to know more about root
i'm not familiar with root and my lastest rooted device is a galaxy S6
why do you want to change the firmware ?

I have checked and I don't have any root access. I have told you why I actually want to change the firmware in some previous reply.
Here I am mentioning the whole problem again for your better knowledge.
Actually yesterday, I tried to add an edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile", here is what error message I got.
I am running on stock official Firmware, I confirmed that as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I'm not using any custom OS.
But I don't know why it's showing that I am using a custom OS . That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware to check whether the Japanese region firmware has issue or not.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about switching from one region to another region firmware in Samsung devices.
I hope you can understand, though my English is not great
Hi, I have some spare time now and need to reinstall my Fold3 anyway.
So I would like to test Android 13 and am looking for the safest way, of course without triggering knox.
Can I download and flash via Odin Indian firmware from here: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-F926B/bit/all/av/T(Android 13) ?
Or should I register as a beta tester?
My csc code is OXM via *#1234# and EUX via "samsung phone info" app.
Which way to go, please? Or point me please in the right direction.
Thank you.
Good question, im also interested in going odin way, so i could also need a secured way
I downloaded the INU rom and to keep data flash HOME_CSC, it keeps the csc that you have now
So did I. I flashed INU on my EUY F926B. When you flash Home-CSC you will keep your data.
Is that absolutely secure that ill keep my apps and setting? Got 2 Authenticator Apps for work on it

Been there, done that, if you have critical work apps, then wait for the official update if you are not 100% sure what you are doing.
ODIN says succeeded, so im crossing fingers. Have worked with it on an older Galaxy before, but never with Firmware from another country. In CSC ive taken the HOME_CSC_OXM_F926BOXM2DVK3_MQB58858275_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.
That should be right

I can report success, Authenticators are working, CSC is like before
Problem solved, I received official update today
Anyone in the US using VZW get the update?
