I am using Verizon note 2 (SCH-I605) and it has been like 2 years now. It's version is 4.1.2 right now.
Couple days ago, I tried to update by going through setting -about phone- software update - check new
But, once I tried to check, 'service unavailable' pops up and makes me go to setting > about phone when service is available.
Status says my software is up to date.
I tried Kies both 2.6 and 3, but when I connected my phone, it says 'this kies does not support my phone' for both version.
Now I am totally lost what I should do. I searched several things for several days, but have no idea.

Yes, KIES and OTA updater are a little bit ... how to say ... sensitive. if your current region does not fit to the original region/country set in the system settings, you won't get any updates this way.
There is a way to flash the firmware manually.

Hello Xda! I hope you've all had a wonderful christmas eve and an even better new year! I've joined this site after headhunting and reading numerous posts touching different topics regarding one subject and one subject alone: Samsung Galaxy S2.
Now, on to the issue at hand. After tweaking and modifying my firmware, in hopes of getting Cyanogen 7 to run along with the ICS theme for it and having failed, my Sg2 has never been the same, of one simple reason: I haven't found the exact stock firmware that fits my phone. When I write "fits my phone" I actually don't refer to the fact that they aren't working as they indeed are, but no-one that's up to date.
The problem could've been easily fixed if Samsung Kies actually worked with my Windows 7 64-bit, which it doesn't, and please, don't point me in the direction of other posts such as "untick debugging mode", "reinstall Kies", "install those drivers by searching 'this' and 'that' on Google", because trust me, I've tried everything. It worked for a couple of days, but now as I really need it, and want to get out of the hellhole I call "KE2", it doesn't seem to want to help me, at all. "This device is not supported by Kies".
Now, I've visited another thread here on xda, more or less this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and dabbled myself through numerous versions until I finally settled for XWKE2 - Generic NEE and successfully managed it to run on my phone with Odin.
Since my phone is operator locked and I'm paying for it monthly via a Swedish operator known as Telenor I'm not able to update the firmware via About phone -> Software update either.
As I said, Kies isn't able to update my phone to 2.3.5/ KE7 (or whatever version is the newest) and I'm thusly stuck with XWKE2 & 2.33.
The most major problem I have is that I don't know which firmware to download from the topic I provided above, and I'd really like to know which one to actually download in order to have the most up-to-date version.
I'd immensely appreciate any help!

Hi,
I need some help from you experts here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 AT&T running on Android 4.2.2. I tried to update the software, it downloaded around 459 MB file, but while installing, it gave a message saying "Install was interrupted, no update was installed". I tried several times even after doing factory reset, still not successful. I then downloaded KIES 3 on computer, but again not successful. Can someone please help me?
Thanks in Advance.

I'm not an expert, But it's looks like your county or your mobile network providers don't let you to update on your Android Version (you are saying " I tried to update the software" i guess you are trying to update your android version)
Do your phone already rooted.?
or may be flashing your ROM you can install custom roms and different android versions. but WARNING flashing and rooting can avoid your warranty.
Hi
So I was rooted, and I heard about the bug fixes for the new update Lollipop 5.1.1, so I decided to unroot and install the update through Samsung Kies.
But, I am really confused. After the update completes, on Kies and when I click, "Update Now" it says I have the latest version. But then I look under "About Phone" and it shows "Android Version: 5.0".
Is this normal? Does it not show 5.1.1? The update didn't fail, it said it was applied successfully. And when I go into Download Mode (Odin Mode) it shows I have the Samsung Default Binary and the Official Version, etc. etc.
So,
Was it supposed to just show 5.0? Is it actually 5.1.1?
Thanks in advance,

Hi there,
Nothing looks wrong, just looks like Sprint is keeping you on 5.0 for now...
The Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S5 owners with Sprint (model number SM-G900P) can now be downloaded OTA. To see if the update is waiting for you, just go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update.

I am in desperate need of assistance:
I downloaded and installed the latest versin of Kies 3 (3.12.03), because I wanted to update my firmware. I last updated the firmware last summer (2015) when Lollipop became available for my device. It wored flawlessly back then.
Well, it simply doesn't work this time. It either hangs itself when I connect the phone after Kies 3 was launched, or it greys out completely (the whole application) when I select "Firmware upgrade and initialization".
I already tried upgrading via Odin, but the md5 I downloaded seems incompatible with my device, leading to a "Failed!" result (I picked the UK version since I have my phone in English, and no, I didn't buy it with a provider, I bought it brand-free).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
