[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] Kies 2.0.0.11033_25/2.0.0.11032_12_9 Which one ?

Sorry if I've missed it searching but , I'm using 2.0.0.11033_25 Kies, and it tells me the latest version is already installed, but Samsung mobile says that 2.0.0. 11032_12_9 is the latest version to download. Don't know whether I'm supposed to stick with what I've got, to get Gingerbread, or get the lower numbered version on Samsungs web site, I would really value your input, by the way 2.0.0.11033_25 seems to be working fine had it for a while now. Thanks

It is the latest version and older Kies will upgrade to that version anyway .
You will get the firmware update when the network that supplied your phone update it and post it on the Kies server .

Thanks for your quick reply. Mine is a unbranded unlocked i9000 from new,I think it's been jf3, jm1 and now jpy, I don't know whether this frustrates or helps but up to now the phones not been a bit of trouble and each upgrade with kies has gone straitforwardly, sim and micro left in, and my original 3 skype retained. I think the phones great, I'm looking forward to the speed you guys talk of with the next rom, as long as it upgrades as well as before.
This site and the help that you people give are impossible to put a true value on, thanks for being there.

I think it depends on your region but _25 is a January build while _12 is a March build.

I didn't realise that,tell you whats funny though,on one computer(vista.)I've got _25and on another(Xp) I've got _12, yet they both say they have the latest version. Either way, neither show a natural Kies update yet. Thanks again.

[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.

new kies update fixed it?
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?
My kies version is 2.3.2.12054_19

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 ?

The new version of Kies 2.3.2.12054/19 solved my problem now I can upgrade to ICS, but is it good idea? Is ICS better than GB?

My gnote issue

hey all,
i'm new to the forums here at xda-developers but i'm in ire need of some advice/help if you would not mind sharing your experience.
Okay the issue.
I have a galaxy note gt-n7000, it will not update via kies or via the phone itself at all for months. I'm from England and i purchased it on contract from carphone warehouse; some vital information about the phone are as follows:
Android version - 2.3.6
Baseband version - N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-N7000LA6-CL907341 [email protected] #2
Build bumber - GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
CSC - XEU
I have tried several things to fix this such as:
Factory restting everything - the sd card, the phone... No eval.
Attempting to change the CSC to a different one from XEU
Waiting to see if any more updates are as followed
reconnecting/rebotting my phone to ensure the connection is okay to Kies
Another issue of this phone is that it will not download anything from the website such as bus timetable PPFs in which it used to be beforehand, i am completely stumped by it
thanks for your time to read this and hopefully help,
Nozz.
P.S I don't really want to root my phone cause my warranty will void otherwise.

have you updated the kies? use latest version of kies to update it should work.

Since youre factory resetting, i presume you dont care for any data loss... You can go to recovery (turn off phone then press and hold volume up+power+home until the phone turns on) then do the factory reset there... (this is not touch interface.. You have to use volume buttons and the power button to select your option):highfive:
I entrust you to do this since you said youre running 2.3.6 but DONT DO THIS if you manage to get to Ice cream sandwich!!! We can never stop reminding people of this... DONT EVEN DARE to factory reset under settings on a stock Ice cream sandwich n7000..

This method should work if your phone is still a "virgin"

Yeah, according to Kies it is the updated version, and i also updated a galaxy s2 with it to ICS the other day...
Will going into recovery mode then factory resetting it work ?
thanks for your help,
Nozz.

Just factory resetted it, and once again it is coming up with it saying it is not possible tp update Via Kies :/
And Kies is fully updated

Also another thing i forgot to mention, the phone wants an update has it says new firmware is available through downloading from the phone then installing that way, however when i try this, it all goes okay, reboots, comes up with the little andriod symbol then it stops at roughly 20%, reboots and says it was unsuccessful, try updating via samsung kies.
thinking of just getting rid of it, but it's a contract.... Sigh.
nozz.

somebody made a program that you can use instead of KIES, it is called Checkfus.
google for it, or search the forum, i am sure you will find it.

Hi there,
I would suggest not to update more on Kies as Kies sometimes KIES(OTA OR the PC one) is quite not more reliable sometimes, sometimes you can upgrade sometimes you can't.(Just like a woman on her monthly periods )
Anyway, I would you recommend by just flashing it thru PC ODIN. Download your stock ICS software from this page -> www.samfirmware.com and look for the firmware on your region. Flash it and you should be good to go.
:good:

i'm quite new to flashing phones, i've flashed computer motherboard bios, but i can get inside them and change the mobo if it goes wrong however i cannot do that with a phone :/
Which one is safe for my phone, considering it's current build etc?
Advice would be appreciated.
I can't seem to find firmware that is suited for my PDA, CSC and Phone codes... Or will any UK firmware work?
Nozz.

Here you go bud ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of Doc Ketan, of course)
If you narrow down a bit, there's a firmware for UK there(Carphone Warehouse to be exact)

According to CheckFus there is no such ICS update for my specific phone, aka pda/phone/csc.... hmm... and also i can't seem to find any roms for my specific phone either...
I really don't know what to do now
Could someone take alook at my numbers in my first post and help me, as i'm pretty much at the end of my tether with this phone
i'll relist my phones information:
PDA: N7000XXLA6
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000XEULP4
Build Info: Friday, January 20 05:38:08 KST 2012
That build info looks slightly dodgy considering this is supposed to uk phone, and i'm pretty sure UK gingerbread didn't come out at that point... hmmm.. got me thinking.
anyhow
Thanks,

[Q] OTA update 4.3 for Singapore handset used in the UK

I have an unrooted I9305 bought new from eBay in the UK, I believe the handset came from Singapore. I did a factory reset on it once and it restarted in Chinese or something similar!
I have just received an OTA notification that Android 4.3 is available, I haven't installed it yet. I am in the UK on T-mobile. Is it safe or advisable to install this update? From what I understand it will be 4.3 designed for Singapore, I don't want to screw my phone! I contacted Samsung support who came back to me within a couple of hours, confirmed that the handset was from Singapore but didn't seem too sure what would happen if I take the update. They suggested I should take it to a Samsung service centre and have it flashed with the UK stock firmware (which I would prefer) but the nearest one is 40 miles away, they would probably charge me for it, and Samsung said it would invalidate the warranty anyway.
I tried Kies to see if it would give me any more information about exactly what the update is, but Kies seems to be confused. I have version 2.6.1.13105_6 which is the latest according to Help->Check for updates in Kies itself, but when I plug in my phone Kies tells me I have to update Kies itself before updating my firmware. Samsung suggested using Kies3 which I tried but it says my phone is not compatible. I have had slightly better luck with an older version of Kies 2.3.3.xxx which displays my current firmware version and tells me there is an update, but doesn't show the latest firmware version so I still don't know what it will be.
I have just installed a smaller FOTA update and the handset build number now shows JZO54K.I9305ZHBMK1 but this gets no hits in Google so I don't know what it is.
I haven't rooted the phone as the guides usually say only do this if you know what you are doing, and I am clever enough to know how much I don't know!
Is it safe to install the OTA update and will it lose my current settings (like language) if I do? Or is there a better solution?

no u won't lose language english is in the blood of every Rom

Download a uk rom a d flash it with odin if ur afraid of any network issues. Since yur going to update via ota it makes no diff. Ur bootloader will be updated to the knox bootloader. And since you are not going to root it... just use odin to flash official i9305 firmwares. You cant go wrong.

I hope you are right! I presume flashing the firmware will remove all the apps and data I have put on the phone? Alternatively if I just take the OTA update is it likely to cause any issues or you can't be sure what it will do? And will that also wipe all my current apps and data? I have all the standard stuff backed up but since I haven't rooted there is some app data that can't be backed up, as far as I know.

As i have experienced before... unrooted phones data is not possible to be backed up. Heard of helium but yet to use it. So you may actually find out more about Helium app. Another alternative is you can use Kies to back up data.
Secondly check your gsm and lte bands of your phone and the carrier that ur using in uk. If the carrier supports it then it should not be of any issues with connectivity. Sgp phones are unlocked and usable worldwide. I dont see any issues unless your phone is faulty.
