Error:"SGH-i727 does not support Initializing"

[bgcole]

New android user here -

I traded my iphone 4 for the S2 sky that i now have - so i say that only to make the point that i dont know the history of this phone, if its been rooted...anything. Which is another question - how can i find out? Former owner didnt mention anything, and there is alot of ATT bloat on here, so im guessing its stock.

Android Version:4.0.4

In any case when i hook up the phone to Kies - It says that:

"Your current version of Firmware is not supported to update firmware via Kies"

Current Firmware version: PDA:LI3/Phone:LI3/CSC:LI3 (ATT)

Thanks -

It's probably stock, as debloating is probably the first thing people do when they root. But you can try this app to check:

I've never used Kies, so I can't comment about your other question.

Well you can't update if there's no updates lol.

Right, but if it wont initialize the phone, then even if there was an update (like JB), then i would think it would be impossible to send information to the device.

When and if a jb update is released by samsung/att, kies will be updated to allow you to update. You can still use kies for the other tasks but most of us don't use it.
