Yesterday I saw the news that JPO is starting to spread, along with a new Kies version. So I downloaded the new Kies and installed it. Hooked up my SGS, at that time running official JM1 patch (obtained through Kies a few months ago), and hit the update button.
Kies then showed that the JPO update was supposedly available to me.
Unfortunately, during flashing, something went wrong and I ended up with an incomplete update (the screen went solid-color pale green at one point and nothing more happened after that). Repeated atempts of Recovery after that, as well as Odin ended in similar failure. It looks like I can't run updates from this computer.
I then installed Kies on a different computer and hooked up the SGS there, in Download Mode, and tried to flash JPO (downloaded from the Dev forum here) using Odin. That worked partially - on restart, I only got Recovery mode with an error message, claiming that format of the internal memory failed.
So I downloaded official JM1 and flashed that, and it works.
Now I reconnected to Kies and tried to look for the JPO update on that other computer, but I now get this message:
PDA:JM1 / PHONE:JG6 / CSC:JG7
This device's version cannot be updated.
I'd really like to get me some Froyo now - what files will I need to do this through Odin, reliably?
Froyo probably hasn't started rollout for many carriers yet. And I'm not sure exactly which carriers have begun rollout So I can't help.
did u have lagfix installed ???

Hi all,
I am new to this Kies flash process and have read people having problems when updating their ROM to official releases.
I am currently on JF3 and Kies is offering JM1, I want to upgrade but am wondering if there is a "recommended" way to update?
I have an unrooted phone and have installed software like Launcher Pro, Advanced Task Killer, Alarm Master etc...
I was wondering if I should do a factory reset first on the phone before I upgrade to JM1?
I am running Windows 7 and Kies is on version 1.5.1.10074.2 running in Administrator mode and I have Antivirus turned off.
Any tips for a hassle free update greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance
No just update via Kies... Unless you havent rooted your phone and you dont have a lagfix installed you can update the normal way.
Remember that your data may be corrupted after upgrade and i would advice to do a factory reset after upgrading the firmware to clean up the phone.
So backup your data!
there is a new version of Kies out just today
link is in the wiki
Thank you for the info guys. I did the upgrade and it work flawlessly.
Got a bit scared when Win 7 said that it was installing drivers halfway during the install and the device appeared to get disconnected
But the progress bar kept going and I waited about 5 minutes and it completed and rebooted the phone. Now I am on JM1 and it does run better
I will check out the new Kies too.
Thanks again for the input.
Hi All
I actually saw that some other folks had a similar experience, but I can't seem to find any fix for my current state.
I had originally had the stock 2.1 on my SGS and then upgraded via KIES to froyo, the same day it came out.
FF to Saturday, a week and a half ago, I got a notif in KIES that a new upgrade is available.
Stupidly, I forgot I had OCLF and allowed the upgrade.
My phone got semi-bricked after the upgrade.
I put my SGS in the shop, and the tech at the shop flashed XXJM4 on my SGS with a flashing cable
I got it back, today, but it is behaving really badly:
1. downloads from the market fail immediately
2. external SD card is invisible in file browser
When going into "recovery", I see some error messages:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11"
"Invalid argument"
...
"copy_multi_carrier from: XSP"
"multicsc : can not access to /system/csc/XSP/system/"
...
Any ideas?
Please help

1. Try downloading files from the internet, if that works it might be your market app having some issues. You can fix this by reinstalling the market app or by updating the market app.
2. Try mount and unmount the memory card using the setting menu and let the media scanner run. If that doesn’t work back up your files in your sd card and reformat it.
Hope this helps
So i heard about the 2.3.3 updated for the tab and i decided to check via kies
And knowing (from my SGS) that i have to update first with the old update to get the latest i decided to do that (the one from January or something)
But when i try i get an Error Saying that Kies could not be administrator permission from the Tab
Is this a known problem?
PS: anyone know how to change the language in Kies? i would prefer it in english because it makes it easier to describe problems
some users over at swedroid have some issues with sgs. no solution yet
Sorry. not allowed to post link
So i changed computers (usually do kies updates on my laptop) and its working fine
currently half way though the firmware update
Unable to update via Kies as well
I am getting the same message. States that I do not have the permission of the P1000 device administrator.
Was trying to update an unlocked Euro P1000, using the newest version of Kies and Windows 7 Premium. Also tried to use my XP to do the same, gets stuck on the screen after hitting the update button, or comes back with an "unknown error."
I hate Kies, but am would rather not root and bootload as I'm selling this in the next month or so.
Think I am moving away from Samsung. Love their hardware (have a Galaxy S and Tab), but hate their support and software updating.
Hello,
I can only suggest you to look at Overcome rom in the developers section.
There is an amizing guide explaining you step by step how to upgrade your tab and at the end you'll have a much better 2.3.3 rom than Samsung stock one.
If you still want only Samsung rom stop the update process when it says to install Overcome and you'll end-up with a very clean rooted stock 2.3.3
best solution seems to be a clean install of Kies. Uninstall, clean registry, download new from samsung, install. Kies must be center of gravity when it comes to bugs :/
Hi there I'm having problem updating from JPO Froyo to the recently released Ginberbread JVO.
I've reinstalled Samsung Kies and the Samsung USB drivers but I'm still getting this error everytime I try and upgrade. The phone itself is unlocked.

I've never rooted the device or installed any custom ROM. I only upgrade via Kies.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like kies itself is misbehaving. Try uninstalling kies and then reinstall it to see if that solves your problem
I already did that and i'm still getting errors when I try to upgrade.
Is it being blocked by your firewall?
My firewall is turned off.
hmmm that's strange, it should be working normally in that case.
OS shouldn't be an issue, im assuming you have plenty of free ram, and that you're not running anything else you don't need to be running in the background.
Maybe try giving samsung a call and see what they say? I know kies is very tempramental from my experiences with it in the past. That's why I started flashing custom roms lol, to get away from kies.
My phone just tried to install the latest firmware update (via Kies) I think it might be 4.0.4...whatever came out today for those with the Open Germany installed. Kies keeps freezing at 47% and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I've tried to use PC ODIN to re-install the previous firmware since I can't find today's release for Germany anywhere...but all I'm getting is a yellow light in PC ODIN...no green...won't install. Anyone else have this issue and found a fix? Could it be my USB cable? It's not a factory cable...but it worked last time.
FIXED!!!
I put the USB cord into one of the slots in the BACK of the pc...and it worked! I remember reading something about the front PC ports being like a USB hub and it not working correctly. Hope this helps someone as frustrated as I was!
ICS 4.0.4 OTA update available - India
110.87MB ICS 4.0.4 update available in India, Seems bit more smoother than 4.0.3.
