[Q] Keys: your device's current firmware version is not supported to update via kies

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.

Cant update my phone officially?

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.

[Q] no kies update for my GT-N5100!

hi guys...
here is what kies says when i plug in my GT-N5100:
This is the latest firmware.
*Current firmware version : PDA:MD1 / PHONE:MC8 / CSC:MD1 (XSG)
and settings>about phone says:
android version: 4.1.2
kitkat is listed in both sammobile and samsung update for XSG region ... why is the kies telling me that i have the latest firmware?? why doesn't it update?
another question: is there any problem with updating to kitkat? (like the s pen offset and something that i may regret doing the update)
thank you all :highfive:

If Kies does not notify you that there is a newer firmware it may be that you need to do OTA, as your provider will release the new Firmware. To check for OTA, you can go to About Device within the System, and tap on Software Update, and tap on Check Updates.
All firmware updates will mess with some settings, to clean up any issues, perform a Factory Reset within Security Settings of the System once the update has been performed.
To correct the S-pen issues with any update, just use the S-pen and trace from corner to corner along the edge of the display. You may need to do it a few times. As the S-pen feature automatically calibrates when doing the corner to corner trace. Be sure to trace to each corner til you end where you started.

thank you very much. i don't have any contract or provider. and i tried the OTA update too. again it says that "the latest updates have already been installed". what is its problem?!
i noticed that in its recovery, down the list of actions, it says :
"# MANUAL MODE #
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : XSG
Successfully applied multi-CSC"
does it indicate anything about this problem?

i dont think the country you're in is not supported yet. since i have the same problem like you so i googled for it.
and it said note 8.0 just rolled out for polland ans south korea only. i think we should wait for it
or u can get that firmware and upgrade with odin. but i dont think its a good idea cuz every country has different network type.

Problem with OTA update android oreo 8.0 (Soft brick from failed OTA update)

Hi, i tried updating my android phone with the latest security patch from TMobile. I was on Android 8.0 and when i went to update it, the phone restarted and now i get the message.
"Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software * is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost."
The problem is i have never flashed this phone whatsoever. i did obtain it via a warranty exchange and udpated it from android 7.0 to android 8.0 and it worked fine. I am not sure why this happened.
Anyway, i tried downloading the ODIN firmware file for 8.0 from the updateto website
Specifically: htt ps:/ /updato.com /firmware-archive-s elect-model?rec ord=EEDFC92B2E0611E89F15FA163EE8F90B (get rid of spaces)
But it only contains the March 20th, 2018 firmware file (which i believe is the original 8.0)
because i had updated past that i need a more recent odin flashable firmware.
When i try to flash the CRB9 firmware i usually get error (abl) Fused 3 > binary 2 or (bootrom) fused 2 > binary 1
I believe my problem is i am attempting to downgrade the OS version. So i need a more updated ODIN firmware file.
i looked at this url
htt p://fota-clou d-dn.ospserver. net/firmware/T MB/SM-G955U/versio n.test.x ml (get rid of spaces)
and found that the latest firmware is G955UOYN3CRD9/G955USQU3CRD9
Does anyone know where i can get this odin firmware file so i can reflash my phone and get it working again?

Which firmware you are on?
There's U3CRD4 update available to download.

i was on android oreo. Thankfully T-mobile said it was under warranty and replaced my phone!

Galaxy S9 hasn't got Pie update yet

I have a Galaxy S9 which hasnt recieved the pie update as of March 2, 2019
Phone Info:
Baseband: G9600ZCSS3ARL1
Build: r16nw.G9600ZHS3ASA1
I got this phone from Rent A Center so phone should be unlocked. And I'm currently on Cricket wireless.
The problem is, is my wife is has the same phone from RAC and is on the same contract with me and she has already recieved the update. Is there a way to push the update?

That looks like the chinese version, no idea when those will get pie.

Your baseband have not received any android pie update yet, but i guess u can flash other firmware from this website https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9/SM-G9600/

I downloaded a firmware from sammobile I used the phone info app and went to firmware and it gave me one for my phone but when I use Odin to put it on the phone it says mdm mode cant download or something like that

Here's the picture of my phone info and the firmware it said I could download and it takes me to sammobile. I've downloaded the one from the very top

Well then wait for the official OTA.
