Hi im new to these forums as i have just bought a galaxy s second hand,
anyways the problem is when i connect it to kies to try and update the firmware it says the current firmware is: blank <as in nothing>
tried kies 1.5 and 2.0 same thing it picks up the phone but wont pick up the firmware,
im guessing somethings been done to this phone, all i want is the stock firmware and to be able to update in the future, nothing fancy. please help.
Find what version your stock firmware is and flash it with odin. You can download the firmware from samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i dont know if this helps but it says
pda: i9000xxjpo
phone: i9000xxjpp
csc: unknown
build info: 2010, 10
firmware version
2.2
baseband version
i9000xxjpp
kernel

froyo.xxjpo
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
Stock firmware = basic unbranded unaltered firmware as supplied by Samsung .
Network firmware is above plus any network branding plus add on that the network have added .
So you have stock firmware .
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
No if you use Kies it will look for the phones product code to update product code is tied to seller/network of original phone .
What is your product code .
Question has to be what do you want on your phone re firmware and are you willing to use flashing methods or not .
jje
thanks for the reply,
now how do i find the product code?
from what i know about the phone is that it used to be on vodaphone and is now sim free, the guy who sold it to me told me he had 2.3 on there but reverted it before selling, i dont see how he managed to do this using kies?
what i would like is to be able to update it through kies to 2.2.1 which is what my gf has on her phone, and make it readable for future updates, if i have to use flashing methods to achieve this then so be it, or is there another way if i can get the product code?

Enter *2767*4387264636# in your dialer.
Then there will be a line that says:
[2] PCode:"your phone model type"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+Registry+Patcher
You are best to try above and see how you get on .
As its non stock firmware you may need to spoof the product details etc .
If the download of the firmware works take the opportunity to save the rom as in instructions .
jje
pcode: gt-i9000hkaxee
There is no such sales-code, just flash to the latest JPY and you are set..the phone you have has been flashed to Nordic firmware sales-code XEE at some point, the sales-code for Voda is GT-I9000HKDVOD or GT-I9000HKAVOD.
After flashing enter in phone-dialer the following: *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and choose XEU.
9000 [Sweden] = GT-I9000HKAXEE
Product code for Sweden.

ok this is disappointing news, i am sorry i am really new to all this, but does this mean il never be able to update through kies, and will need to keep flashing to update the phone?
do i still try the kies registry patcher thing or forget about it?
Are you swedish in sweden or where what product firmware do you want .

Ofcourse you can use kies in the future, but after you have corrected the sales-code. You might be able to do it now, just enter *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and try to see if you can choose XEU.
i am from the uk london to be exact, and i just wanted the latest kies firmware, like my gf has 2.2.1 i will try the code you gave me now and post back
ok i tried that with the imei and it said rejected

Check the IMEI number under Settings>About phone>Status , see if it is correct. You must enter the number without slashes or spaces.

The latest Kies firmware for your phone is Swedish .
Kies reads your phone and servers sees Swedish product code and wrong firmware so it does not proceed .
Choice is one use Odin and put the latest stock non network Firmware on phone
problem will be its not going to update in the future via Kies as Kies will be trying to update the firmware thats Swedish .
two change your product code
three use Kies registry patcher to spoof your phone to a UK branded phone
same as one you wil not get a further update but need to spoof again .
Example current )2 uk firmware with very little branding/ad ons by O2 .

He did state that the phone was on vodaphone, GT-I9000HKDO2U is an O2 sales code, I did suggest XEU because vodaphone codes are GT-I9000HKAVOD or GT-I9000HKDVOD, in this case he has GT-I9000HKAXXX, and while changing the sales code only the last three letters would change. If he does change that to O2 code then it will change to GT-I9000HKAO2U then keis will not recognize the phone again, because there is no such sales-code.

My friend, download JPY from here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2 Extracting code is samfirmware.com
Flash using odin 1.7 : http://www.multiupload.com/JMBJGDN00I
Load the extracted tar file in odin as PDA and flash, after that enter the recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Use the images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 as reference if you did not use odin before, but you must start odin, load the tar file as PDA and then put the phone on download phone before connecting the phone and flashing.
Entering download mode is by pressing and holding Volume down key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to download mode.
Entering recovery mode is by pressing and Volume up key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to recovery mode, navigate using Volume op/down keys and select using Home key.
Good luck..

Hi I am thinking of taking the O2 firmware off my phone and going for Samsung stock. I am on JE2 just now so should I go straight to JE2 stock or the new JE7? The phone is a contract phone so would it be easy to get the O2 ROM back if I ever needed a warranty repair?
SEARCH in development section O2 rom debrand .

Hi
I followed the guide and successfully changed the firmware to the stock Samsung one on the thread mentioned here. However when I did the factory reset and reboot (which wipes everything) I find my handset still thinks it operator is o2 rather than the other CSC code mentioned which should mean it can take the standard firmware ota updates... this was my sole reason for de-branding so i can take advantage of OTA updates without waiting for them via o2.
Everything went as per the guide so I'm not sure why the change to a the XEU CSC operator didnt work. I've tried the factory reset/reboot twice and still shows the same.
Any advice on how to move this forward would be very much appreciated as although I'm now on stock f/w i can't update with KE7 or any of the other recent updates.
cheers
Bob.
Did you do *#272*imei# select csc and then do factory reset? This is what I had to do to get the change to be recognised.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
When i enter this I get a screen which shows
Preconfig
Sales Code O2U
Green button (not hilighighted)
and two buttons at the bottom
Install / Cancel
Are you saying i should select this O2U and hit install and THEN factory reset?
-- update --
when i hit the radio button the above screen and hit Install it says 'must be THREE chars.'
So not really sure what to do from here...

BTW CSC currently shows as unknown (from doing *#1234#)
thanks
Hmmm strange. Follow step8 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894

There have never been OTA updates .

Kies does not update stock rom in general though some report it has . Never happened to me from SGS1 to SGS 2 on many tries .
KE7 not yet on Kies for many .
Most of us debrand to remove branding and use Odin to flash stock firmware on release . Odin = KE7 now no wait .
Rebranding phone with original for warranty purpose only if needed .

do a factory reset using setting privacy, my CSC didnt change using the factory reset in recovery menu, only changed when I did the reset in settings menu.
thanks for the replies all. Tried the factory reset from the settings menu but preconfig still shows 02u and *#1234# still shows CSC unknown...
guess I'll have to try reflashing via ODIN again... should i use a different firmware..
i installed
I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.TAR
(taken from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894)
Should i try a different version or put the stock one back...from the same thread..
I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR
...
I guess whatever i flash I'll do the reset from the boot menu and also the factory reset as recommended..
any further feedback appreciated... guess its not likely i'll brick my phone but would like to be able to take advantage of the new features in the later f/wares.
thanks all.
hi, i followed the guide in the dev section and debranded my phone from 3 u.k but when i plug into kies it still show 3 fw and says cannot update even though i changed the csc aswell. is there anyway to get kies to recognise it properly as i didnt really want to keep manually having to flash the lastest fw thats why i de-branded so kies would do it auto!
edit found the solution after 1 hr searching....... odin update only
Spoof fw might help .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
Kies updates branded firmware with the correct product codes that match whats on the server not stock rom thats what i have always posted long long time .
Though some claim to have updated stock via Kies but if that was the norm we would not have the multitude of same posts and kies reg spoofing would not have been developed likewise Spoof FW
About forty personal tries with stock rom on SGS1 and 2 for me have always failed . Put back original rom always worked .

I have the same problem but I have fix it now, I just boot in recovery mode and wipe alle partition data, wipe alle date and factory , after that boot up in download mode and reflash in odin... and dont forget to delete kies in pc and delete samsung folders and usb driver before reinstall kies this work for me and kies reconize my phone and FW version now.
You did do a factory reset after changing to XEU csc didn't you?
I had no problems when I debranded my O2 handset a week ago - it's been recognised as a generic XEU handset ever since and I updated to KE7 via Kies.
Hi Guys,
I have a meteor (ireland) carrier brand galaxy s2 csc is KD1(met).
I successfully flashed over the ke7 XEU firmware I found by searching these forums.
HOWEVER... after flashing... in kies I get the following message :
This version of the device cannot be updated.
I've read up more and found out that it is because the version of the CSC that I have does not match what kies would be expecting. In this case I would imagine it is a multi-csc XEU.
How should I proceed if I want to make this a full retail generic galaxy s2 that is correctly identified by kies ? Shoudl I reflash with the pda again and with a specific csc file (as I used to do on my older galaxy s 1).
Any advice is much appreciated.
thanks

Just flash with the XEU KE7 file. then do a factory reset for the CSC to change.
KE7 is the latest version for XEU so it will show as latest firmware
Its not the CSC its product code and other codes that may change .
Basic rule is ODIN flash = no upgrade via KIES .

Not the case mate. Odin flash and everything works normally if you're not changing CSC's for the device.
To the OP. Do a hard reset of the device and then flash the firmware again.
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I did a hard reset and reflashed however I still have the prob with the CSC being identified as KD1(met) , baseband XXKE4 and kernel XWKE7 which is fine... with the exception of the csc...
There was only a tar file in the firmware that i downloaded and extracted (which is expected). I remember with my older galaxy s 1 to change the csc I had to actually enter a code and manually change the csc to multi xeu...
Do i need to do something similar with the S2 ?
-- r1_2010
dunno if this help but you can change the CSC using this code after youve flashed
type this into your dialer - *#272*<your IMEI>#
and then select the one you need
Thanks I that but when the preconfig menu opens I can see a 'Sales Code' label beside a textbox , prepopulated with 'XEU' (correctly).
At the bottom of the screen there is an 'install' and 'cancel' options.
I click install but it gives the following error 'Must be THREE chars'
But I cannot edit the text of the sales code , select it or anything else (there is just XEU prepopulated in that text box).
Any more suggestions ?!
I must be missing something....
Ok I've tried flashing again and the same prob... Would our be worthwhile flashing ke2 XEU first and then going to ke7 ?!

You should be able to flash back to stock using odin then upgrade or flash the updated version with odin.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
You have to unroot your device and flash the firmware with corresponding CSC to your country. On top of that you have to flash the firmware that was ALREADY officialy in your country (best way is to download package from sammobile.com) after that the OTA will work. I know because I also had problems with OTA after rooting the device.
I have reflashed the BTU UK firmware I9505XXUAMDM via ODIN and my device now shows as running official rom
Kies now says...
Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies.
What gives?
Hi,
Recovery mode mentions multi csc. Could this be the problem?

Hi,
Where did you buy a "Brand New S4" with root?
Not sure what you are trying to do.
You have root, so, just flash the latest stock ROM and you are up to date.
If you are trying to get back to "Official" stock, then, look HERE
Use Triangle Away to reset your counter, and you will be able to get Ota.

I bought the phone from Amazon as new.. This is my first Android phone and I only noticed the problem when I checked the apps and it had SuperSU istalled and Kies complained about not being supported for updates.
What I am trying to do is get the phone running as stock so it will update via Kies + OTA and also remove the yellow multi CSC writing from the boot recovery menu.
I have tried unrooting and flashing stock BTU firmware but then I still have the yellow writing in the boot recovery menu and cannot update via Kies.

Ok.. here is what I have done so far..
Rooted the rom and ran triangle away to reset my counter to 1 . I have removed root and flashed stock BTU firmware then wiped data/cache from the recovery menu.
But I still have the multi csc message in stock recovery that will not budge and Kies reports the phone is not supported for updates.
Could this be because the boot loader is locked?

Hi,
The bootloader is not locked.
You should have reset the counter to "0"
Then, flashed the stock firmware without rebooting the phone.
Does the recovery says that it "applied BTU" ? If not then your region code is not proper and that's why OTA does not work. Unfortunately it is hard to change CSC right now as Samsung has blocked the keystrings for user packages, keystrings works only for engineer builds.
And about that flash counter, it does not matter if its 100 or 0. The OTA will work as long as the status in download mode is official for both variables, and in Settings > About device is official too.
As I work at Samsung's R&D I know that you have to flash the firmware which was RELEASED for your country with proper CSC, the CSC has to be set (you can check it in recovery mode) and then both variables in download mode have to "Official" and status in About device also has to be Official. Then the OTA will work (At least over-the-air, not through Kies). Best way to check the OTA is to flash first firmware released for your country and check the updates. Ive done it dozen times on various devices and it always worked. You cannot be rooted and need stock recovery. The only major problem might be changing CSC on your own, because as I said it is not easy right now as Samsung blocked *#272* keystring in user packages (released for the market). Flashing engineering build will make the all keystrings work, but I guess you won't find any of those odin flashables on the net.

It says applied BTU but multi CSC exists. How do I find the original CSC code out? SO its not possible to change this at all or at least get rid of that stupid message?
Is a green andriod bot with a red exclamation mark anything to be worried about?
OTA updates now work fine However they dont work via Kies. Is this normal?
FYI the flash counter was at 3 so somebody had obviously messed with this.
Sorry for all the questions. This is my first Android device having switched from Crapple
It is weird because the box was sealed and had the protectors on the phone.
Multi CSC means that the file that was flashed contains few regions code and that it can be changed inside the OS with keystring. So nothing to worry about as long as it is set to your country and OTA works. As for the icon, it is normal after entering recovery, my device also has that icon, it does not mean that there is some error. Kies does not always wants to cooperate I do not know why, but as long over-the-air works you're not missing anything apart from cable update.

Once in there wipe cache and reformat phone once more then it should change VOD to BTU that's what I did when I had my vodafone s7 and changed it to btu
It doesn't work stays VOD no matter what i do

I'm sorry this is for s8 if you goto SamMobile forum post in there greenman may be able to help more but to me sounds like you need to 're flash original firmware.

This shouldn't be a problem so let me help. First some questions...
1. From which carrier/country is your phone?
2. Does it have a network lock?
3. Is it the Model number SM-G950F?
4. Which files did you flash via Odin (please type the actual filenames) and with which settings in Odin?
5. If you go into Settings - About phone - Software information - Service provider software. Please tell me the first and third line there under this point.

Hi,
1. Bought from Vodafone UK
2. Removed lock by code
3 G950F
4 Sorry don't have access to my laptop now but I've
Downloaded latest btu software from sammobile
unpacked it and used as per instructions. Tried using either home_csc or the other one but no luck either
Settings tried just standard and tried pit and reformat didn't work either
5. SAOMC_SM-G950F-OXM_XEU_077
XEU/XEU/VOD
when go into recovery it's still VOD tho
You have done all you could do.
You needed to flash with normal CSC NOT with HOME_CSC to change the CSC.
Your new CSC is XEU!
It still shows XEU/XEU/VOD because VOD is the original CSC of your phone. This is new for the S8 and could not be changed! But normally you will get OTA updates for your new XEU CSC just fine! And any Vodafone-Apps should also be removed.
So everything is like on Samsung devices debranded bevore - beside that the factory CSC is hard branded inside the phone. But thats just optical. Everything else works like it is an XEU CSC.

Are you sure about that? In the past if you didnt change properly the CSC after unbranding your phone you werent getting OTA updates anymore, i've read on SamMobile you gotta use Smart Switch using the serial number of a phone you know has that CSC, but i dont know how to find one, no one answered me on here. I'm thinking of going into a store and look at the exhibition one, but im afraid it's not legal to do that.
