Hi folks, looking for some help here please.
I have a samsung galaxy s on the three network in the UK.
I have not rooted or applied any lag fixes to it at present as i dont want to invalidate the warranty at such an early stage.
The official Froyo update became available via Kies this morning and i tried to update.
The phone connected to Kies alright, it downloaded the binary file OK and then stated it would start instal.
The progress bar did not move but my laptop made the sound when a USB device disconnects, then a second or two later made the same sound which i was taking to mean that the phone had reconnected, however Kies came up with a message that the connection had been terminated and then another message stating there had been an unexpected error and that the upgrade had failed.
It then offered to recover the phone.
Instructions were to remove the cable, remove the battery, start phone in recovery mode and then to reconnect cable. I did all of this but when i reconnect the cable, my phone is not recognised as having connected and nothing else happens.
If i restart phone it works OK on old firmware but if i try upgrading again, Kies gives a message that a previous upgrade failed and i should attempt recovering firmware. I have been at this for hours now with no joy.
I have two options in Kies, either to attempt upgrade again which always ends in error message that unexpected error occured, or to attempt recovery and in this case my phone is not shown as connected. When i start in recovery mode should i select any option or just leave it at the screen that appears.
At this point i really dont want to try any other firmwares or fixes so would really appreciate if anyone has had similar problems being able to throw me a lifeline.
Thanks for any help.
Sorry i cant help you but are you on payg or contract with 3?, im on contract with 3 but kies is not showing any firmware upgrade for me
I have had a three contract since they began, however i bought the samsung galaxy s about a month ago to replace my Nokia N86 as i fancied a change and didnt want to wait almost a year. So basically it is my contracted sim into a bought PAYG phone.
I have been following the posts at blog.three (sorry not able to post full URL) and they reported on Friday that the update would be here soon. Logged in to Kies this morning and it stated an update was due. My head is bursting with this as i have read so many posts and tried so many instals, and reinstals of Kies, i have tried upgrading with Sim card and SD card removed, still no joy. i am beginning to wonder if there is another flaw with the three version of froyo. Good luck anyway.
p.s, asking if i was on PAYG or contract made me think, so i tried putting the PAYG sim card in that i got with the phone, connected to Kies and upgrade still available however same error when trying to upgrade. The rollout may be by region or by banks of phone numbers, so you should get it shortly, although heres hoping it works for you
Thanks for the reply Doc, could you pm me that url pls?
Good luck to you with solving your problem.
Doc, just to let you know you aren't alone - I too have the same problem - tried it on both computers - says the update is available, it starts the download, the knocks the phone into download mode before coming up with an error message. I have tried to put it into recovery mode and it still fails - however I can just restart the phone and the old firmware is still in place.
No lagfix/root etc. Just a bog standard three phone.
Anyone who could help please!!!!!!!!
Hello Guys,
I had rooted my SGN before & restored to stock ROM DXKL2. However whenever i tried to update the firware from Software Update, it always says "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or Visit Samsung Service Center".
The update download & installation seemed to run well accordingly, but after reboot with "Uploading Media Files" display, the screen simply goes off half way for reboot again, and once SIM PIN gets input, the above display shows up.
May i know how is this happening? Thanks in advance.

What was the Firmware version when you bought the Phone?? If it is different than KL2, Try restoring firmware which was ter when u bought it. Then Update via Phone or Kies.
Thanks for the tips, Mr Ranjan.Alva. It really worked when i flashed it back to its out of the box stock ROM DXKJ3 Gingerbread 2.3.5.
It could simply download, install & reboot perfectly to latest ROM DXLA1 now
Dear all,
Two days ago I got the notification update through Kies to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Note to the latest firmware 4.0.3 ICS.
I did but sadly there are some problems with the version I installed on my Note.
It flashes sometimes, the colours of the screen get mixed together, sometimes it switched off by itself, it lags a lot.
So, I want to "re install" the ICS version all over again, I believe it is corrupted or something because when I used to download the firmware the internet was so bad at that time.
Please, how can I re install the firmware. A Fresh Installation.
Thanks.

Hi Fellas,
So here is my problem and i am sure you guys can fix it.
Phone-NOTE 1
Rooted-No
Current version-ICS
Country-India
Problem-I am trying tp update the firmware to JB on my phone using KIES ONLY because whatever i do if i check the OTA update it says"NO UPDATE AVAILABLE"
So anyways what happens is that it download the firmware update file and then after that when it tries to update/apply the update i get tjis freaking CHINESE/JAPANESE message and when i click OK it starts all over again
I have tried MULTIPLE SYSTEMS/MULTIPLE KIESINSTALLATIONS and STILL NO GO.
I have attached the screenshot of the error message and would really appreciate any help.I reaaly apologise in advance if there is any thread already created for this error.
I tried finding one but i couldnt.
I tried 3 ways.
cellphone: Samsung Galaxy s3 gt-i9305 android 4.3
1) Kies3, kies to connect the computer recognizes that there is a upgrade and follow the steps. do the backup, press on with the update and after spending hours downloading files from the update tells me it does not recognize the device even re-installing the drivers. (That and I have done several times and always wasting time waiting hours while kies download again and again the firmware).
2-) OTA, is the upgrade for the phone right? Good tells me there is a new update android 4.4.4 OS weighing 592MB, unfortunately I have no wifi so I tried to update it with my telephone mbs plan. But there comes a time when the download is falling and losing 64% mbs.
3) Odin online there are many tutorials and I've tried several times also, the version I've used is the v3.09, the tutorial says it must recognize the disposito yellow leaves me but I like light blue. Similarly I follow the process but always remains in "odin get pit for mapping" after a few minutes out failed.
Well I tried these 3 ways to upgrade and I could not, now I have several problems with the phone the greater is that sometimes get calls and sometimes not.
please help.
