Help Back to stock from Ice Cream Sandwich?

marcelwelter · Mar 16, 2012

Hi, I live in Mexico and I didn't want to wait until my carrier released the update for my phone so I installed yesterday a costum Android 4.0.3 version. The thing is that when I sync it with Kies, I get the message "Your Device Does Not Support Updting Via Kies".

How can I fix this? Will I have to update each time manually using Odin or will Kies update to the newest version when available in my country?

Thanks a lot!

If you update via Odin, then Kies would not like your phone. Unless you can flash back to an official version. Also kies won't work properly with Odin on the same computer usually. That's what I read anyway.

Kies will work fine, but has to be closed (stopped) before running Odin otherwise it claims the USB connection.

That's what I've also read... In this case, does anyone know where to find official roms to flash back?

KG4 for Telcel (TCEKG4) can be found here. A later version (KK1) was available here but the hosting site (Multiupload) is still offline.

download the stock ics 4.0.3 XXLPQ that should fix the problem worked for me...

Where did you find it? I've tried everywhere...

I suppose he meant this:
[ROM][CWM][XXLPQ/DXLP7][ICS][4.0.3] Odexed & Deodexed Stock Roms - xda-developers

I have installed it and so far it's been extremely stable (not a single force closure or system hang), fast and with a good battery life.

Using XXLPQ on a TelCel handset will result in the same problem of Kies not recognising it, which is what the OP is trying to avoid.

Have you had any problems with portable hotspot function? On the version I istalled of ICS, I sometimes wasn't able to turn it on and I had to reset the device.

I also found another thing that although it's not an actual issue, I found annoying: when I texted an SMS message and hit send, the keypad wouldn't change back to ABC if I was in 123 mode...

And for the last, since Samsung Social Hub only synced calendar and messages, contacts in whatsapp wouln't have any picture at all... But I suppose this is Facebook's App problem because when it syncs contacts, it doesn't actually add the picture to the contact, it only joins it to the facebook user and whatsapp only reads the contact stored in the device.

Is any of this fixed on the ROM version you've posted? Or is it all the same?

Thanks a lot!

And I don't have a Telcel mobile phone... I bought it online and it was supposed to be international but I now downgraded it back to Gingerbread and have installed the Swisscom firmware... Does this means my phone is not anymore international and that I won't get OTA updates?

My apologies, but that was the only carrier in Mexico with a CSC code listed.

it was supposed to be international

I assume this means it was unbranded?

It will still function exactly the same, but attempting to update via official channels will fail because the handset will be identified as "generic" by its deviceID but the firmware check will see Swisscom.

marcelwelter · Mar 19, 2012

So... OTA updates won't be recieved by my phone unless I switch back to original firmware, right? If so, where could I find it?

If I stay with the Swisscom firmware, will I be able to update via Kies when Swisscom releases the ICS?

Thanks in advanced!

See the link here.

Doubtful, as your deviceID won't match any of those listed by Samsung as belonging to Swisscom.
