"This version of the device cannot be updated"

---

Hi All

I rooted my handset but then decided there isnt much out there at the moment for me in terms of custom ROMS so i restored a stock rom. I am now seeing a message "This version of the device cannot be updated" in Kies. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? Im running the latest Kies

Thanks

Kies updates product /firmware codes that match whats on the server . Requires your phone provider to have uploaded newer firmware than you have .

If you put a Samsung rom on the phone = no matching product/firmware codes .
Your Kies upgrade path is now closed ..

How so? this is now the third time I've seen you post this. Surely this only applies if you have flashed a custom rom. not stock.I flashed mine to KE1 via odin, but updated to KE2 through Kies. So what am I missing? Are you talking about the 'missing DLL' error? I did have that on my desktop, but kies worked fine on my laptop.

What is the easiest way to get back on track with Kies? Would flashing an older official firmware work?

you need to follow the debrand guide

basically you need to set the CSC to XEU in order to update via KIES

Third time more like three hundred .
Kies updates branded firmware via product codes hardware id and firmware id .
Hundreds if not tens of thousand who have installed Samsung so called stock firmware through Odin have received the no upgrade message from Kies .
Thats why Spoof FW was invented otherwise no need for it .

Its also why Kies has never given me an upgrade path since flashing stock rom via Odin .

Now i know one or two on SGS have managed to upgrade after stock rom but most are reporting no upgrade ( well you anyway ) .

Personally if some one is going to do something that may affect their warranty or change the update path or whatever i would rather tell them than not .


Stock rom Ke2 and i will test yet again via Kies when KE3 is out .

SGS2 bought sold SGS 1 running stock firmware No repeat no upgrade path through Kies until flashed original O2 rom and thats like two weeks ago .

Only Updated via Kies

Hi,

Only had my phone a week and have not done anything custom with it, it has updated twice through Kies in 1 week per request from Kies itself, today I go into Kies and it also says :

"This Version of the Device cannot be Updated"
Current Firmware Version :PDA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)

Why has Kies had no problem two times in the last week and is now saying this, has something gone wrong in the phone ?

Yesteray it just said the Latest Firmware was Installed ?

[QUOTE=JudgeyK;13914303]Hi,


"This Version of the Device cannot be Updated"
Current Firmware Version :PDA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)




It cannot be updated to a firmware that does not yet exist .

You have latest firmware therefore it cannot be upgraded .

I get this message to now on KE2 (O2 firmware) before I upgraded the message used to always Current and Latest firmware. I def think its a Kies problem.

Cheers Guy's

Was just yesterday it said ;

Latest Firmware Version :PDA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)
Current Firmware Version :PDA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1(XEU)

and today the Latest Firmware Version is replaced with that error message, so assumed that there must be another update out but now the phone will not update it ?
