You can flash a stock ROM for your region and then Kies should recognise that.
Here are stock ROMs...

Here are carrier branded stock ROMs...

If you've not done it before it can look a little daunting, but all the information you need is in the first few posts of each thread.
Good luck
but why my phone doesnt it gets updated via kies?like if my bro send me a phone from uk.should i send the phone back for updates?
You don't need to send your phone anywhere to get it updated - there must be another reason why Kies won't update it. Have you ever flashed a custom ROM or firmware?
actually it was locked here and i went to a shop to unlock it.it has siyah kernel and i guess it was flashed once for unlocking.
and how to get back the custom ROM etc if it was flashed?
yes i did flash custom firewre and ROM.let mee send u the snapshot of it.
You cannot use Kies to update your ROM if you have a custom ROM. It will only work if you have the correct branded or unbranded ROM as per my first post.
i am from Pakistan.
so can you tell me which ROM is for my area.please if you know.paste the link below.thanks.
your device does not support upgrading via kies

No updates via kies
Hi All ,
I gave my phone to samsung people for EFS or IMEI Problem .
They updated my phone to same version 2.3.6 I was already on it .
and now when I am connecting my phone to kies for ICS update its saying
"Your phone does not support updates via kies"
Never rooted..
the product code of your phone has changed, to be exact the country code in the phones product code. you will need the IMEI number and your country code to switch it.
you can check your current product code
*2767*4387264636#
1. get your country code from fus.nanzen.se
scroll down to presets and search for you country/provider check the product code. the last three letters are your country code.
Create a backup before proceeding it will wipe your data and reboot your phone.
2. To change your country code (IMEI = your phone IMEI number, you can get your IMEI by typing *#06#)
*#272*IMEI#
You will have a list of available codes to choose from. install the one which applies to your country.

So, a couple of months ago I bought a used S10e. The phone was unlocked by a third party. I assumed that if I installed the latest firmware the unlock will still work. So I installed the latest firmware and next thing I know, my phone didn't had signal. So I contacted the seller and he fixed things up but 1. He didn't flashed the latest android version since it wasn't "available" at the time and 2. I can't update my phone. Apparently phone bootloader is unlocked too. Do you guys know what can I do to unlock the phone by myself and update to latest firmware? Maybe also lock the bootloader since I'm losing some features (Samsung Pass, Samsung Health).
hope someone can help
I have quite the similar issue with my s10e. My phone is only showing lte with full bars. I dont know that I cant let my wifi auto download the update.
Hello everyone, I've been looking for some information about this Galaxy a51 (which I think it's a US version and I'm outside US) with the following features:
Model number: SM-S515DL
Android Version: 11
One UI version: 3.1
Baseband version: S515DLUDU8CUK1
Kernel version: 4.14.113-22754548
Service provider software version: SAOMC_SM-S515DL_TFN_TFV_RR_0015 TFV/TFV/TFN
Software update info version: S515DLUDU8CUK1 / S515DLTFN8CUK1 / S515DLUDU8CUK1
Security patch level: October 1, 2021
I got it from Amazon and it says it's a CDMA device, of course it is network locked and it's showing the invalid SIM card message. So I got a couple of questions hoping you can share your comments:
1. Is it possible to do a stock firmware flash and get rid of carrier content and locked SIM?
2. Can I use galaxy firmware.com files to do so? I see there is a S515DLUDU8CUK1 version with different region, if so which region to pick?
3. or maybe is it possible to do it by installing a custom ROM?
4. Could the z3x or octoplus unlock network? (I can't get the unlocking PIN or region screen)
There are still a lot of things to learn, unfortunately I saw there is not much info for this model on forum sections. I found mostly information for A515F and other variants of a51, could I just use them? is there any risk? Beyond the unlocking network I'd really like to try a custom rom and get rid of all the stuff it comes with.
Greetings!
Yeah, eveything should be possible, but you must change you language manually after setup, when you flash a different Firmware from another country or another region. If you flash a new Firmware you also should be able to unlock your bootloader and then you habe the Go for flashing every Rom you want. With a different Rom or Firmware you should be able to get rid of Carrier content etc.
Okay so far I've been using it as an offline device and it is just fine. I am waiting for SamKey to release the network unlock since it only supports binary 3 and below. I dunno which other software supports binary 8. My bootloader is locked it does not show up at developer options.
Anyway I am just playing games on it, watching videos and surfing the net with wifi. Just like they say if it's not broken don't fix it. I will just wait until this device gets more support and then I'd probably try roms and other stuff.

Not sure if it will get much support being from 2019. I'm not an expert with Androids but bought same models from Tracfone and with 60 days after activation they were eligible for unlock. They took IMEIs and sent email with two codes in it (different based on IMEI because for two of my devices they were different). after punching number it brought up the device unlock menu and after the two codes were entered got messages that they're unlocked. worked with different sim without an issue afterwards. Its currently up to Android 12 UI 4.1 as far as official updates.

Could you give me a hand for the release, to which email address did you send the imei for the unlock ?
will this work on a tracfone variant
I just purchased a used Note 20 Ultra that was originally for At&t and unlocked, I am using it with my T-Mobile sim and all works fine. I am little concerned as the UI is 3.1 and Android Version is 11 and it says software is up to date, is this correct?
Before I purchased it I also requested Unlock code from At&t and they sent the Unlock code which is weird since it is already Unlocked .....Maybe I am just being paranoid.
The imei on the phone matches the imei on the back of phone and shows all clear on swappa imei.
So the question is how can I tell is any software/fw was altered on this device to Unlock it early?
*#1234# shows the following versions:
AP: N986USQS2DUH3
CP: N986USQS2DUH3
CSC: N986UOYN2DUH3
Model: SM-N986U
I have installed Phone Info+ (SAM) in case anymore info is required to help with this
Thank you in advance for any help.
I think that I'm in the same boat. I received a insurance replacement phone that was unlocked, but I think that Geek Squad had to get an unlock code to get it to work on Tmobile. My phone has never been updated. It's still on the software that it shipped with. My old phone had the black screen of death, and I'm trying to flash a more recent version of Android with Odin. What's your baseband version?
My Baseband version is N986USQS2DUH3
