[Q] Why won't my Beast Running UBKK2 Update?

Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.

If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.

Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update

But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.

Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.

Your device does not support software upgrading via kies

Got Samsung Galaxy s2 onebay, instead of old one, that died.
When connecting to KIES i see this message " your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
I did search on forum and understood that it can be because phone was rooted, and that it is possible to put phone in un-rooted state
but i not really understood how
*#1234# gives me the following
PDA I9100TJIKJ1
PHONE I9100TJIKI2
CSC I9100TCELKJ1
Can anyone please help me proceed for un-root?
all i want it's to update to IceCreamSandwich firmware
thank you very much - hope for any advice, have read so many pages here - head going to explode soon!!!

You'll need to find that firmware and re flash with Odin. www.sammobile.com/firmware

Than flash the official GB .!

here i found firmware file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221236
i ve read how to flash with odin
What is GB?
Is it any risks flashing with odin?

GB = Gingerbread. Which is somewhat irrelevant since you're seeking to go to ICS.
You appear to have an I9100T from the Middle East region. If I were you, I would go to www.sammobile.com and download an appropriate I9100T firmware from that region to flash. There is one ICS firmware for that model and region available.
And of course there are risks using Odin. If you don't know what you're doing, or use a firmware that isn't meant for your phone, you can easily brick your device.

i had the same problem a while ago. usually you need to sign into samfirmware site but try this link, it worked for me

This is because Your Csc (movinanad) is unknown.
Try this:
1.Backup your data.
2. Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
3. Use the app to change your CSC (Movinanad) code to your country.
After this process, kies should work with your phone now.
Note: the process will factory reset your phone, so please backup first.

It happens when CSC/PHONE/PDA mismatch.Best option is to download latest firmware for your model and flash using Odin.

Similar Issue
Hi there, I have a similar problem. I tried to root my phone, as I wanted to unlock it using a chainfire program, using a cnet program
I wasn’t sure which unsecure kernal to use, but i was told it didn’t matter if I was going to put a secure kernal back in, once rooted, problem is the root never properly worked, and when it would reboot I would get the samsung screen with yellow triangle and then it went black, so I tried getting to the stock using galaxys2root
but then got stuck in a boot loop, so I then had to do a factory reset through the recovery boot mode, which was fine and my phone is on, obviously all my data (apps and progress is gone) not a lot to be done there, but my OS is different, I had recently (about 2weeks ago) had an update, so when I pulled the task manager bar down, it would scroll as there were more than just 5 options to be quick clicked. also I was able to put my app menu in alphabetical order as well as little things like option to show battery % and different icon images, more defined and realistic, so basically I appear to be on an older OS but I am unable to update through my phone and kies as well, as it tells me my firmware is not supported for upgrade through kies.
I believed I was on a ICS version, though reading up about latest firmware there seems to be a later version, but apparently jelly bean? I had reason to believe JB was earlier than ICS, but maybe not? I am currently 4.0.3. If I recall I was 4.1 something though I am not 100%, but I know this OS is earlier.
Basically I miss my previous OS and dunno what more to do, extensive search is driving me brain dead, any help possible?
I also have found an accidental screenshot from my previous OS homepage and have taken a recent one just so you can see the smaller things I am describing, and hoping it helps. - can't post links yet in order to show you the exact pictures and webpages used.
Hope I am in the right place for this, also, I am not completely thick when it comes to technology and software either just better at computers haha.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Firmware Update Over Kies Doesn't Work!

'ello geeks,
I know Kies has been infamous for just about every reason a piece of software can be..Perhaps before investing in S4 I should have gone through Kies reviews as well and not just phone's.
Anyway, the issue I am facing is since Samsung released the firmware upgrade for Galaxy S4 , I have been trying to upgrade via Kies (I do not have a wife router) and faced with below:
1. While it downloads the firmware data, it randomly shows phone's disconnected and I have to restart the download.
2. On one instances, it did go through the upgrade procedure completely but only firmware ID got updated as none of the features came in...on top of that ability to change unlock effect in settings got disabled for some reason. Post this I had reset the phone.
3. Another question is, for around 350 mb upgrade, Kies keeps on downloading 7 gb+ data,,,is this normal? and why would that be for?
[Ref: Windows 7 Premium, Intel C2D 2.2, 2 gb RAM]
[Ref: GT-I9500 Purchased in India]
Please let me know if you people have a different experience and whether anything can be done to mend it...or this is how the life with Kies is!
Thanks!

I am assuming that you are not rooted.
Try updating it manually via Odin
Download the official firmware file from here

"Warning: Your phone does not have active CSC code" - Reasons?

Hi all,
Last week I bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge through ebay. Everything has been great until it came time to plug in my recently purchased Gear VR which is coming up with a network error. After some searching for solutions, it appears that my phone isn't set to a specific country (so I guess it doesn't know what software to install). I have installed "Phone INFO" which shows as per the attached screenshot.
My question is what could have caused this? If I was to reinstall firmware or attempt to add a CSC could it cause issues? Is it likely the previous owner was just a tinkerer? Am worried If I add a CSC my phone may become blocked or something but If I don't I can't use my Gear VR
Any help or advice greatfully received.

what software version is on your phone ?
It looks like someone may have have upgraded your phone to nougat beta or a custom ropm. Nougat beta does not have a csc associated with it. You need to flash one after installing.nougat beta.
I suggest you ddownload one for your provider from samfirmware or contact the sellor and try to find out what was done to the phone.

The previous owner has probably installed a custom rom and that's why the csc is missing. If you don't have root, then I would recommend for you download the stock firmware and flash it with Odin and that should fix your problem.

Please see attached for the software info, does this looks like the beta? Thanks for the replies both, I'll look into this Odin and see what it's all about. I haven't done anything with firmwares for years, not since messing about with Nitdroid on my old Nokia N9, hopefully can still get to grips with it all!

Nope. not nougat
You can download full rom and flash through odin. Make sure you flash all 4 files (bl,ap,modem and CSC).
Here's what I thought happened.
Previous owner root phone(cause knox 0x1)
and probably update the firmware by flashing rom though odin or use custom rom. But he/she didn't know how to flash the full firmware though odin properly(or just don't want to. idk) because of the old modem(baseband APEQ) but new rom file(build APG3) and also missing CSC.
These probably mean he/she flashes only AP files(rom) in odin and ignore the other 2 files(modem and CSC) and might also bl file(bootloader).

Yeah that sounds very plausible, just can't imagine why they would root it and update firmware but not do it properly, every guide I've read directs you to use the appropriate CSC for your country. Well I've got Odin running as we speak, so fingers crossed I can get this working and that I'll be testing out the VR as soon as possible! Does put me off buying second hand in future, but I guess on the plus side at least I don't have a warranty to worry about and can have some fun with different firmware.

some small 3 rd party providers or regional area have csc which are not commonly available, so when you upgrade you would not want to touch the csc.
The sim you are using may not recognize the csc the previous sim card was using that is why it is giving you there error message.

Could be that, guess we'll never know.
As mentioned above I have flashed with the latest firmware and updated the CSC, fortunately it's all working now so thanks for all the support. My refurbishment check now shows as attached.

OTA android 7 update for g935fd not working

Hey guys,
The OTA update for android 7 has come up in my s7 edge duos. I have tried downloading it twice........it gets to 100% and says there an error and that it's the wrong version.
Not sure what to do.........any ideas

Download and flash the rom through odin.
Did you ever flash a different rom? Which brand is respectively CSC has your phone?

Never flashed another rom........bought the phone off amazon.com............it's zn international version, but looks like the supplier got them from UAE.

the supplier may have gotten from UAE but the csc may not be from there.
you can try downloading the Rom from samfirmware and flashing that way.

Thanx for the reply guys, how can I find out the CSC on the phone? Also if I flash with odin, Will that erase all the data on the phone? And will it trip the knox?
Why is it that the update doesn't work? How come the software on my phone doesn't match the update it's downloading? Is it something the supplier/seller has done to the phone? Like modify the software?
Thanx guys

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and you get all necessary information.
If you flash with Odin Know won't be triggered. You can keep your data with the three following requirements:
- The firmware you flash must have the CSC included you use at the moment.
- You need to use HOME_CSC file instead of CSC file.
- You may not tick re-partition.
Keep in mind to only flash firmwares designed for the Exynos variant.
Sellers on Amazon sometimes get phones from a different market and flash then a firmware fitting your market. This is rather a replacement than a modification (since the whole system is still official) and Knox is not triggered. However, one effect is that OTA may not work or gives "phantom" update notices. There's no restriction aside of that and you can just use Odin to remain updated.
You can post screens from all pages of the app I mentioned and we can see what's going on.

Hey Andiling, really appreciate your help pal. Here are some pictures you requested. Thank you
