Kies + update = new FW ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

heya fellas
just a small Q regarding Kies and how samsung works with it.
Does every kies update = a new FW release thru kies ? or do the FW updates have no relation to kies updates ?
I just randomly start kies from time to time and check my phones FW for any updates , iv done like a total of 2 kies updates ever since i got the kies software and currently upgrading to version 1.5.3.10093.31 . was wondering with the often so fast FW updates u fellas get in uk/europe , asia and the rest of the world. The middle east / africa hardly got any updates and all i know is ever since the original FW we only got the jpjg8 eclair version as a test FW which i have on my SGS right now and is considered the latest according to samsung. will samsung keep us hanging like with my HD i8910 depending only on custom fw from amazing people like faenil, HyperX who did almost if not all the work for samsung fixing their mistakes

Is that a Middle East specific release? I have v1.5.1.10074_45. Not heard anyone mention yours before.

@mazroui: kies and FW updates are not generally related, but might be a hint for an upcoming FW update.
@Tehpries: the version is new there are already at least two threads about it.

If you look at the times the other threads were started you will see they were begun later than my post.

Well one of them says: Today, 01:09 AM and your post is 14 hours later.
But never mind. My point is that new Kies version does not mean new official FW.
And I also hate the way Kies updates itself. Slow and unreliable. Resulted in an error at the end. As AllGamer said, it's a piece of ... kies

yup, this one came before the other ones
it just got lost in the pile
nope, i tried to upgrade for the same reason
to see if it was coming with the new ROM

thank you for the fast reply fellas, i sure hope we do get the update not so long after the international release if not with it ^_^
well my version 1.5.3.10093.31 i sure dont know how long ago came out since my auto update is off but today morning checked if kies had an update and it did but took way too long to download 68mb's and disconnected every 500kb or so
keeping my eyes on kies on daily basis starting today for any info regarding 2.2 or whatever they throw at us
P.S
no test mode now with this new version of kies T_T and it does a contacts backup before starting the FW check , very annoying >_<

i also have
Eclair - jpjg8 with arabic persain urdu

Could someone please post the download link for the very latest kies version ? Browsing the samsung website is a pain. Google search takes me to samsung site pages but I can't find any kies download link.... Is it just me ?

[Q] galaxy I9000 2.3.3 update

i have the international I9000 (from israel) and was wondering if the new update thats due to come soon will be international, will all the owners of the galaxy s get it? if so are there any exceptions to this? and on kies i used to have a update section when i had my phone connected but now its gone, anyone knows why?
I'm having the same question regarding SGS-I9003. Anyone?
Eventually when the upgrade is rolled out across the networks .
Its the individual networks that can be slow to upgrade their firmware .
But really only Samsung can answer the question .
jje
thats what im asking
did samsung have some kind of anouncement regarding this?
and about the networks.. i wont be able to get the update from kies anless my provider had the update ready for itself?
did samsung have some kind of anouncement regarding this?
NO No official release yet to the public that is .

same when i connect my phone stock jpy it used to say this version cant be updated. it now has vanished that only means 1 thing official 2.3.3 is coming within the next 3-4 days
Make sure you have the new version of kies. When you click on your phone in the navigation lane on the left, the first tab that opens shows your current firmware and the newest firmware... for now they are the same. However this is the first kies version I have gotten to work in israel. All previous versions refused to see the phone.
Rumor is that gingerbread will roll out to all international users on the 30th... which may be true or not but the fact that kies does NOT show that our israeli galaxys are unable to be updated gives me hope.
In the meantime if you want a good custom mod based on FROYO check out SimplyGalaxy in the android development area. The dev has posted an addon with israeli cscs (Pelephone, orange and Cellcom).

oooh fellow israeli
i think it stopped showing me the update thingy after it had some sort of update to the software, it opened tons of update windows, some had errors, i eventually closed them all
now it gives me some sort of error when i go into kies...
ill try reupdating or installing

No one will know anything solid until Samsung makes an announcement (which I doubt they will do) or the update starts appearing in Kies.
No doubt if/when this roll out begins someone will very noisily post a FIRST thread, a few dozen posts will go up telling us the version has been released, lots of people will yell at those posters for making multiple posts, then several threads will start tracking it around the globe and the Modders will start to spit out new ROM versions. Rinse and repeat.
For now, the rumor is still that it will hit on the 30th, so we will see on Wednesday, baruch ha'shem.
Okay thanks for the reply, i guess we just have to wait for it to come and hope the rumors are true

Weird Firmware update?

Hi guys put my phone on kies today and a new firmware version is ready to download came up..
i thought yes i have somehow got gingerbread..
when it completed it says froyo 2.2.1 firmware version what the hell is this??
My phone is in the UK on Three network i900nejs2
there are many versions of 2.2.1 maybe you just got a newer version.
there is a way to spoof kies into making you get the very latest release. or you could just flash gingerbread yourself through Odin.
or try one of the many many custom GB ROMs
how do i spoof?
and does it matter that my phone is network locked to three?
can i debrand it or watever?
Simple answer its 3 Uk latest update to 2.2 .1 comes after Froyo 2.2 .
Some put it out others have been very late .
jje
We will be seeing parallel versions of 2.2.1 and 2.3 for quite a while....get used to it. Not all carriers will be so anxious to send out gb to the masses, and many are still on 2.2.
Remember we may be champing at the bit for gingerbread, but likely the reaction of John and Judy Averageuser will be "Dammit....ANOTHER update!!!???"

[Q] update for Tablet Latest firmware version - PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5 ( CPW )

Hi everyone...
what is the update on KIES likely to be called?
I can see on KIES
Current firmware version - PDA:JJ3 / PHONE:JID / CSC:JJ3 ( CPW )
Latest firmware version - PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5 ( CPW )
I am not sure why it shows ( CPW ) and get the feeling it is not the Gingerbread update.
Any advice much welcomed!
Ofiaich
This is same as mine that's a update to froyo I have the cpw aswell
thanks jutley!
I bought mine from Staples
So waste of time to do that update?
Ofiaich
Just wait. I went from JJ3 to JMI the other week (tesco tab)
Was that a Kies update or OTA (or did you manually flash)?
I'd not heard of anyone in the UK getting the update through Kies/OTA yet.
Guys, Gingerbread is only available in Italy at the moment. If you are waiting for Gingerbread you need to keep an eye on your countries official site, Until its on there you wont be able to get it via Kies.
Just connected to KIEs and got the following firmware update:
PDA:JMI / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM2 (CPW)
Am I right in assuming that this is a Froyo release?
Yes that still is froyo-released in January for Europe....
I have my tab since December. It only updated to JMI/JMA/JM2 (CPW) via Kies today (June 21st).
Got it from the UK and am in Portugal.
Any idea why it took so long to get an outadated update? It was updated to JJ7/JK5/JJ5 (CPW) since January, I think.
I was really looking for GB here :-/

NOBODY EXCEPT SAMSUNG KNOWS ABOUT UPDATES.....and they also have pulled out the previously leaked(take note-leaked-not officially provided) Italian gingerbread without any reason.
Note: CPW is sales code for UK-no updates for UK......
Yesterday I connected to Kies and got the prompt to update firmware to Gingerbread.
I thought "great" and followed the on screen instructions. Anyway, the update failed, probably due to me running other programs at same time and not turning firewall/virus settings OFF.
So I did the 'emergency recovery' and ended up back where I started, with
PDA:JMI / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM2 (CPW)
Now Kies says there is no update available, in so much as onthe Basic Information tab, it says the above firmware is the 'latest' one.
Anyone know why this might have happened, and how I can get Kies to recognise the Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) is due a firmware update ?
I'm reading a lot of cloak and dagger stuff coming out about the Kies system and updates. Does this update come and go from the Kies system ? That would be odd....
cheers
Tony
We in Asia just got our second gingerbread update-from DXJPC to JPD.......!

I understand that Samsung is the only one knowing when updates are done. My question was because I got an update yesterday that everyone got in January, for what I read in the forums.
Just found it weird and hoped someone had a clue!

Weird indeed-that Asia got 2 gingerbread updates in a span of 2weeks while the rest of the world had none since January.

[q] kies says new update pda:jp7 phone:jp3 csc jp7(ttt)

Hey guys I format my PC today since it was almost 2 years so wanted to refresh it. after i installed everything including the windows updates and all the softwares i use i installed Samsumg Kies as the last. But to my surprise Kies said that i had an update that PDA:JP7 PHONE:JP3 CSC JP7(TTT).
When i did google searching it showed me all Galaxy S I9000 threads not one Galaxy tab post. So my Question is, Is this correct??? or is Kies gone crazy... I will attach a screen shot here which will show you the details.
Windows 7x64
Kies V2.0.0.11044_11
Galaxy tab P1000N
Current fimware shown from Kies PDA:JM2 PHONE:JM2 CSC:JM2(TTT)
Current fimware shown Gtab *#1234# code
PDA1000NUBJM2 PHONE1000NUBJM2 CSC1000NUUBJM2(TTT)
Guys Please Advise...
Samfirmware knows about this:
"America Australia Samsung P1000 Firmwares
P1000NUBJP7 P1.PIT Version 2.3.3 2011 May 26"
Since you have a north american tab, this update should fit your bill.
Edit: Have fun with Gingerbread.
+1 ....And I suggest that after upgrading please tell us about your experiences with your gingerbread...
I have successfully updated!!!
Thanks all for your replies. I have successfully updated to gingerbread from kies and what i can say is that i dont think its different from the earlier version i got from samfirmware which i flashed from ODIN. but had to revert back to Froyo to finish NOVA (white screen with sound on Gingerbread) which i was almost at the last level of the game. As you all know Gingerbread is a lot faster than Froyo. Take care guys and thanks for all your replies, I am Loving it' HEHE!!!

Hi,,
I have purchased galaxy tab 7.0 ,, p1000 yesterday !
I know its too late but its OK , its not for me any way
but I tried to update the tab to android 2.3 , but it seems something is wrong
I have downloaded the latest kies from Samsung website , then I have connected my P1000 , and every thing is going fine , but the kies says this is the latest firmware!!
what does that mean?
I know how to root the device and how to get the update but I don't want to!
why I can't just update it officially from kies?? I live in Saudi Arabia , but is it really a problem?? as far as I know its available for everyone now
any suggestions?

keis looks at your model number. so it's saying you have the latest software released for your model. most of what you see on here is people rooting and putting whatever they want on thier tablets. rooting is when you hack your computer to get low-level system access. which voids your warrenty. and android is linux so you should be familiar with how a linux os works and your tablets hardware.
ok thanks for replying ,,
I know all these stuff , and i am familiar with Linux also
but isn't this update officially released?
why does it say this is the latest firmware if it looked at my model number?!
does that mean some models don't get the update?
It's wierd. is it a import from somewhere else?
Keis would only reject models from certain places.
or your model is not on the roll out yet too.
samsung is a wierd company. good but wierd.
go into your configs and look at about your device,
and see what model and revision it is.

I'm in Saudi Arabia too and i'm also not getting any update while other people in Saudi Arabia have updated their Tabs from KIES
check this thread u might some answers

Gingerbread is definitely not available everywhere just yet. Unavailable here on my Aussie Tab for example.
It's possible that you're Tab is coded to a carrier/region and would therefore be ineligible. For example, I have a GT-P1000T (nothing on the outside will tell you this. Try checking the box) which means I can't get the upgrade. Same goes for other models such as the 1000R/B/K type models. This could be an issue.
Also, if you're Tab is locked to a network, your carrier might have to sign off on the upgrade first.

Yeah, got the ****s wirth waiting for Telstra to release an update, went with ODIN instead, never looked back...
Apparently as I was browsing the telstra site yesterday, there is an upgrade available for the Telstra GT-P1000T now available for download through Kies.... If you are game...
