[Q] Kies says there is a firmware update, is this the way back to original firmware?

Hi.
My first thread here, thanks for all the work you folks putting in making our Galaxy a greate phone. Hope I dont start a thread that are already existing.
Yesterday I falshed my phone with the I9000XWJM2 firmware and experiensed something strange in Kies afterwards.
It told me that there was new firmware I could choose to install!! I havent experienced that before.
Is this a way to get back to the original firmware? I know from the FAQ that there are no way to do it, but what happens if I get KIES to install firmware?
Best regards,
Jens

hey jens are you sure kies offers you firmware ? or just update for KIES i mean update Kies destop software ?

It only shows up after I installed I9000XWJM2 and before SAMSET 1.8, as far as I have seen so far. Will try again tonight when im back from work.
I can see that other people in here is talking about new KIES version. I will check tonight whatever its firmware or KIES that it want to update.

[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.

Froyo Update for Thailand?

Froyo Update for Thailand? Just checked Kies and Froyo still not available. I'm currently running JPH, and Kies says no update available. Anyone in Thailand with any more info?

you can update ROM by using Odin if you can't update by Kies
How to update (Thai) >> www .droidsans . com/galaxy-s-froyo-update-available

Ok, so Im a little slow when it comes to this stuff. Im trying to understand how this works. I am from Canada living in Thailand. I bought the Galaxy here in Thailand with the expectation to take it home with me. I have looked at the firmware on the phone and tells me its DXJF4. I was wondering why I can not upgrade to Froyo using Kies? My understanding so far is I need to upgrade via ODIN or trick kies into thinking I have a different firmware for it to do the upgrade itself. So Im wondering what the difference is between JPH and JF4?
Also, has the update for Froyo not been released thru Kies in Thailand yet? Is that what the issue is?

Same situation
Hi,
I'm in the same situation, I'm living in Indonesia and on JG4. I bought the phone outright and it is rooted and unlocked. I have tried tricking kies with no luck and thinking trying odin now.
I have the JPO rom i downloaded for the UK, will this kill my phone if i flash to this European rom or do i have to download the update specificaly for JG4?
Thanks!

[Q] chinees message

I have a n7000xxlpt running 4.0.3 and am trying to upgrade the firmware with Kies the next available version. I run the Kies update when connected via USB and end up with this chineese message where I can only click OK. Then the device disconnects and nothing is updated. The other wierd thing is that in Kies, the area where it is supposed to show what the new firmware is, is blank. I have attached screenshots of all this. Any suggestions on continuing the update without rooting or anything. What does the chineese message mean?

that's a korean language ：p

Ahh! Sorry! Do you know what it means?

looks like upgrading Kies solved the problem as the phone is now in the update process.

congrats…

Yes, Definitely the only way, Samsung intended for their phones to be upgraded.
In the past (could be due to Microsoft animosity) KIES was a headache to get it to function, But lately it has improved, so yes go ahead and connect it with KIES and follow its directions to the dot.

It could be due to some modifications you had made or some updates had made to the build.prop would cause KIES to believe its not one of their models that has an upgrade. In that case IF you are not using a branded phone ( some Branded models use only KIES Air for upgrades and cannot use international firmware), you can chose a ROM even 2.3.6 (the final gingerbread version for i9000) from the firmware for your region and use odin3 to flash. Flashing guide and firmware from here
