[Q] What is the most current version of KIES for Canada (Bll Mobility)?

Hi all...
I am just wondering what the most current version of KIES is here in Canada?
I am still on v1.5.1.10074_45 and have seen users with newer versions here on xda (from other countries I believe) but there seems to be no update available when I try to update in KIES itself.
Anyone know what is the newest for us here in Canada and the best way to get it?
PS... I know that KIES sucks but am still on official JH2 and waiting as patiently as possible for official froyo.

last time I checked, it was still on JH2

Im not talking about the firmware for the phone... Im talking about KIES iteslf. Do you know what the newest version of KIES is for us Canadians?

all Kies are created equal
it finds your ROM via your phone model, not Kies version

If this is true then why are there so many threads here with people talking about the newest versions of KIES and how it seems to be connected to when they get firmware updates, etc? And why is there so many different versions then?
EDIT - Does this mean that the version of KIES I have now IS the most current version for Canada?

Thank You jpaik. How did you get KIES to update to this or did you download it directly from Samsungs website? I have tried to update through KIES but it just sits there and does nothing (typical KIES) lol!!!

I update through Kies itself. It's a hit-or-miss process. I suspect their server is getting hammered at certain times of the day. I have often closed and re-opened Kies several times until I make a connection. Either an update will start or the message states that this is the latest version (which itself is sometimes untrue!)

the download link for the latest Kies is on the wiki
just click my SGS wiki link and get it
Kies is not related to the ROM releases

i updated to 1.5.3.10093_81
i have a 19000ugJG9 phone... still havn't been able to connect to kies to fix my 3 button issue... pretty queer.
edit: downloaded the version from bell canadas site... 1.5.1.10072_3 in hope i would be able to connect it to my phone...
still nothing... says 'connected' on my phone but never manages to connect to kies.

[Q] Samsung Kies "Device not Supported" error

Hey guys. I have had my Captivate since the beginning of September. I downloaded Samsung KIES and was able to download the update back in Sept. I have checked periodicially for any updates, was able to sync contacts, and all that. Yesterday, I went to check for an update, and there was one available. After downloading the update, KIES could no longer recognize my phone. I shut down my computer and the phone. When I reconnected, KIES told me that the "device was not supported." I have redownloaded it several times, but to no avail. I am trying it again, using advice I found on another forum service, hoping it will work. However, has anyone else had this issue, or is this an issue that seems to be plaguing the new update? I thought I was downloading a new firmware update for the phone, however, It may have been a KIES update...

What update did you install on your phone? Post your firmware, baseband, and kernel versions, along with the build number.
Also, this probably doesn't belong in the development section. You should post this in the general board.

[Update] I downloaded KIES again (the newest version) and it still says my device is not supported. My computer recognizes the phone, just not KIES...Is it still possible to download an older version of KIES, because the issue seems to be the version of KIES, and not my phone...?

This info would really help...

I didn't actually update my phone. KIES was downloading the update, and once the update was downloaded, my phone was not recognizable. I will move the forum to the general discussion and post the info there... Thanks!

i have the same problem on my i897. i m running latest cognition rom on mine that could be the issue?

I have the same issue with Kies. I downloaded an update for Kies and now Kies no longer sees my Captivate. My computer sees the Captivate no problem. I have been looking for an older version of Kies to go back to.

Kies update issue
I had the same problem once my version of Kies updated last week. I tired everything, cleared user setting and cache, formated the INT SD card.
Did a ODIN one click restore to the original firmware and tried the above steps again... Nothing...
I had to uninstall the full version of Kies and go back to the MINI version of Kies, then all was fine...
I'm suspecting that they updated the full version of Kies to exclude certain versions of the Galaxy S (Captivate in my case)...

I had the same thing happen after I let Kies update, tried everything I could think of, it would not link to the phone. I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the older version I first had, all is good again. I suspect it was a deliberate move, as Samsung now says the Captivate can only be updated with Kies mini.

I concur, since AT&T has removed all native tethering and WiFi AP ability from the captivate, I think they pushed Samsung to remove captivate support from Kies. I don't have time to look around, but perhaps Kies has a config file that can be updated/changed to re-add captivate support.

Same here. I just updated Kies to 1.5.3.10103_100 just now before doing research on the adverse affects (Who'da thunk it that I would need to). Turns out that after Kies installed the update, it can no longer recognize my Samsung Captivate. I am running Cognition 2.1.6 ROM but that shouldnt matter. Just last week I was able to connect to Kies and back up my calendars and messages. Now....I am getting the "connecting the device..." message. That message has been up for the past 40 minutes. I have not reflashed my phone for at least 2 weeks now.
Seems like the Kies update to 1.5.3.10103_100 did something bad.

Same Problem
Its the Kies new version bug !
need a solution

I went back to the older version kies (1.5.3.10075_17)
and it works very well now .. i think new version kies have some bug or problem

Have you read this thread? It's not looking like a bug - more like Samsung doesn't want the full Kies to work with US Captivates. Kies mini still works, and that's what Samsung wants people to use.

In case anyone is looking for an older version of kies, I found one at turbobit.net/i8v2c4oixldz.html

Thread moved to Q&A.

Remember you have to be in TWLauncher for Kies to work.
Also if you search for Kies you will find many prior versions.
I happened to have 1.5.3.10093_82 and reverted from the update.
Everything works fine.

I installed a previous version of Kies and it works just fine. If anyone needs a older version you can find it at samfirmware.com
They list all the versions that Samsung has made under the Samsung Kies link

encountered same issue.
here's another alternative link to older version 1.5.3.10092_2_1 that seems to work.

[Q] Stuck on JF3 Firmware - No Kies Update

Hi there,
I successfully upgraded my SGS to 2.2.1 (JPY) via the Kies Registry Patcher in January. All seems well however I just tried doing exactly the same trick with my sister-in-laws SGS and no luck. Successfully got her rooted and unlocked, but for some reason I cannot get the registry spoof working.
I know I have not done things in exactly the same order for her phone, but it is bugging me. I tried with Kies 1.5(?) but when the phone was plugged into Kies it flashed up the "You can update your firmware" but when the actual process kicked off no firmware was available. She's on JF3.
Her SGS is from the same company, locked to the same network. The only thing I can think of is that the original spoof I did is still in my system registry and that her values do not match up in the same way? I have no idea...
I have now updated to Kies 2.0 to see if I can just get a normal 2.2 update for the T-Mobile firmware, but if her experience is like mine, that firmware has to go! So 2.2.1 XEU is the goal.
Any ideas?
As a side issue, now that OTA is enabled for 2.2.1, does that mean I will never have to fight Kies for an update?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959806, as well you could also use Odin/Heimdall (? spelling) to flash a 2.2.1 ROM. OTA is not currently activated.

OTA at Samsung end? As the option is there on my phone and when i run it is says "no updates available".
Anyway - yeh. I saw that link. Will check it out when I next get my mitts on her phone.
What I don't know is what has changed? Has ?Samsung wised up to the previous spoof in some way?

You can spoof by patching a file to make Kies2.0 believe that another firmware is connected, but when the update starts, another check is made directly to the phone, which is new as of Kies2.0. This is where we get stuck in patching Kies2.0. The module that checks this is encrypted which makes is impossible to patch it.
This is why I went for another approach and spoofed the firmware that the device is reporting, to fool Kies2.0 in every moment

[Q] Kies upgrade and initialization

Hello guys have a question for you.
I installed Kies on my PC a few days ago. I connect my Note and everything seems fine, I can browse the device, see my memory usage, see the firmware version that is installed, etc, but every time I click on the firmware upgrade and initialization option I get a message box saying: "GT-N7000" does not support initialization.
what does that mean? That I can't use kies to update my device?
I know my device is rooted but I guess I still should be able to use kies to update my device, right? am I mistaken?

I have the same problem.

I also see the same message when I hook my one up

im on the stock unrooted german ICS, when i connect to Kies it says that "your device does not support software upgrading via kies!!!" anyone know whats up with that!?

Erase Kies that you have right now, go to Samsung.de (german site of Samsung) and install their latest version of Kies. Open Kies, run device updates in Kies and reboot your phone and THEN connect phone to the computer via USB cable. I had the same message and this solved my issues.

Had the same problem was on indian (inu) version of gb and upgraded german ics.... had this message also.
I changed my csc code to dbt and it seems to have fixed that.
this is what i did
in dialler type
*#06#
this gives imei number note it down
then
*#272*your imei from above#
select dbt and hit start.... does a factory reset though so be warned
also i am a noob so cant garantee that this is safe, this worked for me now when i connect to kies i get the this is the current firmware message, however i dont know if its safe, my phone has never been rooted also.
just need to fix the charging paused voltage to high message without having to connect a usb stick conector and removing it now.

Anyone can confirm if changing this parameter is safe?

I had many more options than that but i chose the option that matched the area the rom was from.... was on a inu rom to start changed to german release (csc is dbt) so i changed it to match.... now ive flashed the lpf rom instead and have the same prob again.....

Hi
Can anyone speak easy to understand solution for a noob like me.
I have stock ICS, Indian.
how do you know if you have Indian or german update .. Last time the samsung service center installed German update on my note

please, did you even try to search?

if any of you superbrick your phone on stock kernel and unrooted by changing csc which triggers wipe/factory reset dont do anything fancy and contact entropy. you will know youre superbricked if update via pc Odin sticks at factoryfs for forever. (or longer then 30 min)

[Q] Unable to upgrade through KIES after motherboard replacement?

Today i got my phone back after a hardbrick, with a replaced motherboard, so extremely happy about that.
But the downside is, when i connect my note to my computer and open kies it says this:
Your Device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: N7000XXLA6/N7000XENLA1/N7000XXLA4/N7000XXLA6 (XXX)
Could this be caused by the motherboard replacement i've recently got? In the way that parts of software does not match anymore?
second: Is there a non root fix for this?? No??!! any other fix?
Greetings Sam
Edit: before the hardbrick/motherboard swap, Kies searched/found updates

Your Device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
I have very same issue. Logic board replaced and since that Kies says no support for my device.
Current firmware version: PDA:LA6 / PHONE:LA4 / CSC:LA1 (XXX)
I would like to go into ICS but I am worried to do any firmware changes, in case they will not accept any other replacements if any issues. Any advice?
Thanks

I think its down to your computer already reconising the device as it was before try uninstalling kias and reinstall

I've did a connection troubleshoot problem checker thing. But that didn't help.. I'll try reinstalling the whole program+drivers maybe that's it?

i have same problem too.。 i already reinstall my pc windows 7. but it doesnt solve the problem.. i also unrootred my sgn ..but still the same
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

As i expected, reinstalling didn't do the trick. So any other options?
E-mailed samsung yesterday but that will probarbly cost a week before i get an answer back that will not help.

dr ketan help me ..it seems that the csc not matching see my posting here

Do This; i Got this Here On This Forum.
Change your CSC Code to German and upgrade via KIES; this will also factory reset your phone.
so on phone :
*#272*IMEI# then change the CSC to DBT.
Phone will reset.
Change language to English (bottom right icon)
follow prompts to setup
Connect to KIES and the phone will update to ICS.
When your finished, you change the CSC code back to whatever you had before

thanks, allready tried that.. I have one with only XEN, nothing to choose further..
What i just did, flashed back to the first ROM available for my phone and country, still not working with Kies... But OTA updates did work, so if a new update is available i will receive it OTA i guess
Happy enough about that, dont really have the need to be rooted or have a custom ROM after the first attempt went really wrong(reason boardswap) but i like to have a fully working phone, also when connecting it to the Computer

I have tried do this too, but it will not let me change current CSC XEU. Don't know why. I have also tried copy and paste but no luck (

Once more! Flash change CSC change imei pray to God wipe rewipe ALL OF THEMA WILL NOT REPAIR IT send it to service center if it comes so back try to get a replacement/refund.

I had this exact same problem. But now looks like it's fixed. All of a sudden my Kies has started to recognize the fimware and tells me that the current version is the latest version!
So the new update of Kies fixed it?

From Serge75 : Hi gentleman ! could you try to send me your version 2.3.2.12054_19, I dont succeed to upgrade my version, looks like upgrading, but when I restart it, it's still with the previous installed version...
I guess installing it manually would more effecient. Could you send to me to [email protected], or could you give me a direct link where I could charge it directly, because Samsung Kies is not showing it ...
My greatest thanks and best regards
Could anyone tell me if I must change the Kies Version for the last in order to get the new ICS upgrade, or could I get it with any older Kies version ?
