Hi
Ever since I have updated my S3 with Odin I am having trouble with Kies. I can not update with kies and when I connect my phone and go to update section it says "Your current Devices Firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".
So I know what the crack is about that Product code and CSC have to match blah blah blah.
Soo what I would like to ask for is help finding firmware that will match my S3 so it will be up datable through kies again.
My S3 was bough in the UK in Phones4U and service provider is Vodafone. But it never was branded or bloated with Vodafone apps so I am guessing that I have had a BTU unbranded firmware and as I read on other forum Phones4U sell phones with UK BTU Firmware.
My current Firmware is PDA:MK6 / PHONE:MK6 / CSC MK6 (KOR) Baseband - I9300XXUGMK6 / BUILD - JSS15.I9300XXUGMK6/ KERNEL - 3.0.31-2168382 4.3 jellybean
Before I always downloaded UK BTU Firmwares and none of them were not supported with kies.
Also my binary count is 1 after downloading and flashing 4.2.2 which was supposed to be official but wasn't but I am not sure if it affects kies updates or not.
So what Firmware will be compatible with my S3 so its supported with kies? Please help and ask for any additional information about my phone if it will help.

use sammobile.com and flash chosen firmware for the UK via odin. After that check your csc.
And you should update to kies 3 to recognise your 4.3 rom
sent from sgs3 -stock 4.3 open europe rom

Hi the info about my current CSC is from the KIES when i connect my phone to the PC. Does it mean that my phones CSC is Korean or that the Firmware I currently is Korean?
I bought my phone in he UK so i think it should be BTU shouldn't it ?
Also uglyjohnny I have downloaded kies3 but I still get the same message about my firmware but thank you for help.
Also I have use sammobile.com to download my firmware and it was UK firmware i downloaded every time.
Pleas read the faqs and guides CSC etc .
Change CSC i believe is what you want not that i ever use Kies to be 100% .
Kies Emergency Recovery post may help.

Hi. you using your phone in india doesn't mean that you can get the indian update for panama (TPA) firmware. you can wait until the panama update rolls out or you can download any firmware you want from sammobile and flash it with odin.

U have one update for Kies now: HERE. If u have problems with Kies, flash it with ODIN. When u finish of install this firmware update ur Kies too (coz Android 4.3 use Kies 3)
Hi. Just a bit confused about my CSC. Currently my phone is on AP: I9505XXUEMKF with CSC: I9505BTUEMK5. As far as I was aware, this is an unbranded CSC for the UK and Ireland? (I am in Ireland). Now my phone was locked to a network but I got it unlocked and the CSC is now this. According to Sammobile, the latest firmware for BTU is I9505XXUENAA but when I connect my phone to kies, it says i have the latest update? Am I missing something big here?

1. The CSC appears close to ur firmware in Kies 3. Like in the 1st pic the CSC is XEU.
2. I9505XXUENAA no is an official update recognized by Kies how u can see in the 2nd pic. Kies 3 recognize that u have the latest update installed. If you want update ur phone by Kies you will have to wait new official update or u will have to use ODIN for install I9505XXUENAA otherways (SamMobile).
I tried that csc the other night, and it loads the Austria/Switzerland stuff on my phone by default......very useful here in the uk.
There is option to select uk/btu but it resets the phone, so Im not spending 3 hours setting up my phone.
Oh, and the mobile data speed seems so crap on that modem compared to mk9....
Thanks for your reply. Do you know whether unbranded phones get updates before branded??

Yes normally.
- Branded phones have to have custom firmware (coz they install their own apps/mods/rebuilts)
- Unbranded handsets can apply new firmware as soon as Samsung releases it (without changes).
Hi,
Via OTA and Kies there is still no upgradet 4.4.2 available ...
CSC code is MJ8 (BOG) --> Bouygues Télécom France.
My phone is an I9505 ... I suppose I can just use Odin to flash another 4.4.2 firmware for the I9505 with a different CSC code?
I used to do some modding with previous phones ... but so far I 've only been using a 'standard' S4. Thus therefore I would like to get confirmation from some people who have more experience with flashing S4 phones.
Better wait for OTA or KIES 3 update android 4.4.2. Your phone is branded to one company.

That's the point firmware is not yet available via OTA or KIES 3. The phone is most certainly branded ... it contained some french apps which I never use out-of-the-box. I don't care about loosing these apps.
Question is will I encounter problems when I flash with another french, british, dutch, ... firmware?
Personally I don't think so ... If you can only flash the original firmware then sites like sammobile.com which host all different original firmwares dont have a reason to exist?
Or am I wrong?
I had s4(4.4.2) rooted now I have completely removed the root by flashing stock firmware which I got from this post. I downloaded the turkey 4.4.2 listed under GT-I9500 firmwares although I am in india. Now when I try to update trough settings > software update, I I get msg "The latest updates have already been installed.". So is it happening because I flashed turkey's firmware, pls help me how to get lollipop update.
Flash India (INU) or India (INS) firmware. Either should work, but using the INS CSC is probably best, as that apparently is for unlocked devices. The reason you're not getting an update is the phone is not in the same region as the firmware installed on it.
Stock firmware for the gt-i9500 is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/INS/
@audit13: Already covered that.
My bad, I didn't click on the links

idk about .org
try to match fw w/ur carrier, what is ur carrier or the phones original carrier/country ? those 3 letters match up to a specific carrier.
not that critical as all are almost exactly if not all the same fw, bloatware will be installed as to ur phones carrier csc
