but i allready have this version. i checked it with *#1234" and the other update is froyo but isn't official yet.
so i think problem solved

It might mean you are on the latest fw.. but atleast for me, my phone was still on JF3, the post bellow helped me to get the JM1 fw, while previously i was getting the same message as you.
No links allowed for me yet.. The title of the post is "Kies firmware update without using (all of) Kies!"

[Q] Not able to upgrade firmware with Kies

Hi All,
I'm new GT-i5800 owner and have mangaged to flash my phone with ODIN
so its using I5800XXJPQ.tar.
And now Kies ver.2.0.2.11071_128, States that this is not upgradeable.
If there afix for this problem so Kies will upgrade my phone.
I have searched for some time on this site and on the web for a solution, and sadly I've not found a solution.
Can any tell me if the is a fix for this and what I need to do to correct this problem.
Many Thanks

Is the XXJPQ version you flashed a deodexed one? because if it is Samsung Kies will probably don't recognize the phone/firmware en therefore it can't find a new update.
Flashing with odin is much reliable than with Samsung kies so just search on this forum for the last firmware or a custom rom en flash it with odin

Yes flash with odin

Hi,
Thanks for the rapid replies.
I would still like to use Kies to update my phone.
Does this mean there isn't a fix?
If not what is the latest firmware I can update it with using Odin?
And where do I get it from?
Thanks

you could try to flash one of the stock roms in this tread
XXJPS is the last version i think (but isn't listed there)

Thanks for the suggestion to use a stock rom.
I tried that but sadly it does not work.
Is ther a fix

Than you have to search to the stock rom on samfirmare.com or this site and flash it with odin normaly your phone must be recognized by your pc (these stock roms have a bootloader so maybe this will work)
Maybe you could't try to re install the drivers from the g3 do re install samsung kies

maybe you have launcher pro installed. ive go to applications en uninstal launcher pro. then connect your phone to pc in samsung kies mode. then update your firmware.

Hi All,
Installed GT-I5800_NEE_I5800XXJPS_I5800NEEJP2_I5800XXJP4_I5800XXJPS and all seems back to normal now, as Kies now say that no updates are available.
Thanks

GT-i9505 does not support initialization

Noob question ahead!
I have International Galaxy S4 i9505 and I’m currently on rooted stock rom “i9505vjuemj6″ (zto) brazil android 4.3. I can not update OTA because of “modified device issue” and also can not update via Kies it says “GT-i9505 does not support initialization”.
Can I download “I9505VJUEMKE_I9505DGTEMKE_DGT” venezuela android 4.3 and flash it using odin to fix everything above?
- If not, which latest stock ROM do you recommend to install?
- Any description for this? “GT-i9505 does not support initialization”.

For install updates for android 4.3 u only need Kies 3, no Kies. I recommend u install the updates only with Kies 3 or via OTA. Flashing other firmwares that dont marry with ur region code is create more problems :highfive:

same problem
Mate i am having the same problem and tried everything that's been said here. I am however in New Zealand and put a Nordic 4.4.2 on via Odin, but that shouldn't matter because as soon as i put the serial no. in that should fix it and initialise

Dial *#1234# in ur phone and make a screenshot pls :highfive:

ok
Will do and get back to you as soon as i get another firware on, have also contacted Samsung and the'ry look into it too. but cheers if you can help. i'm just mucking around with other options as well at moment. i understand some forums say you cannot roll back the firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.2. I am having the screen rotation problem with the new 4.4.2 so i'm trying to find a way to roll back the FW and one way might be to install a custom rom with old bootloader that is also knox free via CWM install zip function to replace the new 4.4.2 bootloader with an old one. This may then allow me to roll back the firmware to an older version and kill my screen rotation problems.

Pretty sure once you root your phone you can no longer use OTA or Kies, as you now have custom status.
Having said that I've not used kies once since I bought my S4 on April 27th and I change firmware like crazy.
Just use Odin. 9 times out of 10 any problem you have can be fixed by reflash and factory reset.

you can use on any modified phone
If Kies lets you initialise the firmware with model and serial no. to the base version for your region for that phone then it will overwrite anything. However in the I9505 case it will not even let you initialise the firmware. Have called Samsung and they confirm they know this is the case but it is not something they will do anything about.

Sorry about the delay. thanks for trying to help
OK so is this what you were asking for?
Screen rotation a real prob, but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps.:crying::crying:and is why i'm trying to figure out whatever methods i can to roll back the firmware to an earlier version but no joy....

Do you have the drivers installed on your PC? Without them you can't proceed with anything.
Also you needn't to update via Kies. You can simply download a ROM and flash it via Odin just like you are trying to do for the root method. But in any case you need the drivers to be installed first.

Close background process Kies and turn off your anti-virus and try to flash again with the latest version of Odin.
