Hi,
I've downloaded the latest version of KIES available on the Samsung Site.
Problem is i can't install it. When i try, i get the error
The installation source for this product is not available. Check if the source exists and/or you have access to it.
I never had this problem with older versions.
Somebody has a clue ?
Thx,
Nico
Same problem here Nico. Vervelend
You need internet access. If you don't have it then use your phone as modem with teethering mode. Kids needs to check latest version thats all

Hey guys,
Is there a way to download the official firmware update outside Kies but perform the upgrade from within it?
The problem is I have a crappy internet connection and everytime I try to upgrade via Kies, a little time after Kies starts to download the upgrade, the download stops and I get the "No response from server" error.
Maybe there's a way to change the timeout value, so Kies keeps trying instead of dropping the download?
Thanks.
Use odin like everyone else. Check on Dev thread, no use uses kies

Thanks ickyboo. Already downloading fw to flash through Odin.
Hey guys. I have had my Captivate since the beginning of September. I downloaded Samsung KIES and was able to download the update back in Sept. I have checked periodicially for any updates, was able to sync contacts, and all that. Yesterday, I went to check for an update, and there was one available. After downloading the update, KIES could no longer recognize my phone. I shut down my computer and the phone. When I reconnected, KIES told me that the "device was not supported." I have redownloaded it several times, but to no avail. I am trying it again, using advice I found on another forum service, hoping it will work. However, has anyone else had this issue, or is this an issue that seems to be plaguing the new update? I thought I was downloading a new firmware update for the phone, however, It may have been a KIES update...
What update did you install on your phone? Post your firmware, baseband, and kernel versions, along with the build number.
Also, this probably doesn't belong in the development section. You should post this in the general board.
[Update] I downloaded KIES again (the newest version) and it still says my device is not supported. My computer recognizes the phone, just not KIES...Is it still possible to download an older version of KIES, because the issue seems to be the version of KIES, and not my phone...?

This info would really help...
I didn't actually update my phone. KIES was downloading the update, and once the update was downloaded, my phone was not recognizable. I will move the forum to the general discussion and post the info there... Thanks!

i have the same problem on my i897. i m running latest cognition rom on mine that could be the issue?
I have the same issue with Kies. I downloaded an update for Kies and now Kies no longer sees my Captivate. My computer sees the Captivate no problem. I have been looking for an older version of Kies to go back to.
Kies update issue
I had the same problem once my version of Kies updated last week. I tired everything, cleared user setting and cache, formated the INT SD card.
Did a ODIN one click restore to the original firmware and tried the above steps again... Nothing...
I had to uninstall the full version of Kies and go back to the MINI version of Kies, then all was fine...
I'm suspecting that they updated the full version of Kies to exclude certain versions of the Galaxy S (Captivate in my case)...
I had the same thing happen after I let Kies update, tried everything I could think of, it would not link to the phone. I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the older version I first had, all is good again. I suspect it was a deliberate move, as Samsung now says the Captivate can only be updated with Kies mini.

I concur, since AT&T has removed all native tethering and WiFi AP ability from the captivate, I think they pushed Samsung to remove captivate support from Kies. I don't have time to look around, but perhaps Kies has a config file that can be updated/changed to re-add captivate support.
Same here. I just updated Kies to 1.5.3.10103_100 just now before doing research on the adverse affects (Who'da thunk it that I would need to). Turns out that after Kies installed the update, it can no longer recognize my Samsung Captivate. I am running Cognition 2.1.6 ROM but that shouldnt matter. Just last week I was able to connect to Kies and back up my calendars and messages. Now....I am getting the "connecting the device..." message. That message has been up for the past 40 minutes. I have not reflashed my phone for at least 2 weeks now.
Seems like the Kies update to 1.5.3.10103_100 did something bad.
Same Problem
Its the Kies new version bug !
need a solution
I went back to the older version kies (1.5.3.10075_17)
and it works very well now .. i think new version kies have some bug or problem

Have you read this thread? It's not looking like a bug - more like Samsung doesn't want the full Kies to work with US Captivates. Kies mini still works, and that's what Samsung wants people to use.
In case anyone is looking for an older version of kies, I found one at turbobit.net/i8v2c4oixldz.html
Thread moved to Q&A.

Remember you have to be in TWLauncher for Kies to work.
Also if you search for Kies you will find many prior versions.
I happened to have 1.5.3.10093_82 and reverted from the update.
Everything works fine.
I installed a previous version of Kies and it works just fine. If anyone needs a older version you can find it at samfirmware.com
They list all the versions that Samsung has made under the Samsung Kies link
encountered same issue.
here's another alternative link to older version 1.5.3.10092_2_1 that seems to work.

Iam using samsung galaxy s GT-i9000, my android froyo version is :
FROYO:2.2
Baseband Version:I9000JXJPB
Kernel Version:2.6.32.9 [email protected] #53
Build Number: FROYO.JPJPA
PDA:I9000JPJPA
PHONE:I9000JXJPB
CSC:I9000JPJPA
I am getting the error in samsung kies "This version of the device can not be updated."
Please can any one tell me how to fix this issue . . since i really want to upgrade my galaxy, "ALSO TELL ME IS MY PHONE ROOTED OR UNROOTED" please reply . . . .
If your phone is rooted you have what is known as 'superuser' permissions. You can confirm if your phone is rooted by downloading a free terminal emulator from the android market. Tupe 'su' in the terminal and you will get a request for superuser permission. If this happens you have a rooted sgs. I am not sure about your kies error though, however if it persists there are many alternative ways of upgrading your firmware and can be found here on xda.
Hope this helps

stupid question: what kies version do u have?
Download Kies version 2.0.0.11032_12_9 from here http://tinyurl.com/3c8rkjp
I'd try doing what ManMountain suggested first. Update your version of Kies first. If there is no option to update through Kies go to the Samsung website and download Kies from there.
I have the latest version of samsung kies ..... I downloaded it from samsung website .... Please tel me how to root n install ginger bread offcial version ....
Official version Gingerbread you wait until Kies has the version for your phones product code .It is not a worldwide release its rolled out over days or weeks .
"This version of the device can not be updated."
= no update yet for your phone try in a few days .

Im not sure that is entirely correct...
Kies SHOULD say "Latest firmware already installed"
If you have the this device version cannot be updated you will need to do the kies reg hack to make it pick your phone up as something else and then install FW that way.
You may have to do a couple of FW installs to get onto GB

Download Root Check from Market very handy to find out if you've successfully rooted or not.
To root read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
To upgrade to Gingerbread read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037584
Read everything carefully until you're comfortable trying it. If you're not then don't, the good people on here make stuff like this a lot easier for all of us, so it shouldn't be too daunting
Bear in mind the official Gingerbread roms in the link above may not be for your region, they weren't for mine, but I upgraded anyway and everything's working fine (though the auto-brightness seems to have a mind of it's own).
Read, and re-read and best of luck if you decide to go ahead
Kies SHOULD say "Latest firmware already installed"
Never ever seen that or it reported its always been as the OP said and is even as i write .
Users should also be aware that Google have pulled the current update and i would not be in a rush to update yet .

i have the same problem! "This version of the device can not be updated"
and this is not about kies...before flash any room i had eclair (orange romania).
and after apears the froyo version on kies but there was no way to upgrade through kies...don't know why
maybe something is locked on the phone!
Kies is useless...
I had the same problem. Kies detects the new firmware version, starts to download it and gives the message that the device cannot be updated.
After wasting several hours I downloaded the JVB firmware from samfirmware.com and flashed using Odin in minutes. Anybody facing this issue should forget Kies and head to samfirmware.com...
Hi,
I recently purchased my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and when I connect it to Kies it does not know the firmware version.
It just appears blank on Kies...
Current firmware version :
When I go into the settings of the phone is says Froyo 2.2 but it says
Baseband: Unknown
I cannot transfer any files using Kies and would obviously really really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sam
To know baseband version you can check by dialling *#1234#.
I think Kies is not recognising your device due to version mismatch with your device and kies. Best way is to search for kies version compatible with galaxy i9000 from samsung website and install the proper version by downloading.

Thank you for replying!
I uninstalled Kies and installed the version from Samsung Australia's website. Still not working though
I can just add files treating it like a USB but I assume when Gingerbread comes out in Australia in the next few months for the phone I will need Kies to update it?
I also assume it is not good that it isn't displaying the Baseband version?
Hi,
I flashed my SGS to CM7 and don't really like it. I have downloaded the firmware ( I9000DXJF4 )from sammobile and flashed it. However, I am unable to upgrade the firmware using Kies to the new firmware available thru Samsung.
My current version is as followed
PDA: I9000DXJF4
PHONE: I9000DXJF4
CSC: I9000OLBJF4
From the look of my phone, everything seem to be back to its original setting, with all the singtel (my telco provider ) apps. Now I am trying to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 (I think) using Kies. Kies prompted that it is unable to update the firmware. I tried the latest version of kies and also version 1.5. Both are unable to do so.
Anyone can kindly advise?
Try changing your CSC code to XEU. I encountered some issues with KIES updates when having CSC code KOR.
Hi,
I tried to change to XUE but this option is not available. I go into CSC by *#272*HHMM#. Is it wrong?
*#272*???????????????# (??????????????? it's your IMEI, it must have 15 digits)
or try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nfye.insanity.toolbox
Hi,
Thanks for your help. I got my IMEI code. It pop up in a small window. Then I tried to change the CSC using the method u mentioned. But nothing happen. When I press the call button, it say "USSD code running..." then follow by "UNKNOWN APPLICATION"
I also tried to install the software, but it is only for android 2.2 and above. I tried to find the crack version for the premium version but cant find any. Do you have the premium version? Can upload to mediafire and send me the link?
Never try to install via KIES ..
Install via ODIN the Firmware you want it's simply better, even if ODIN is unofficial.
Introductions you will find by googleing I think .. it's easy.
Good luck and have fun
Hi,
Ya, using Odin now. But still prefer Kies over Odin. A lot of stuff become automatic with Kies.
I just flash to DXJG4 hoping to be able to link to kies but it failed.
I read that once the lagfix is fixed, there will be problem with kies. Am I fixing the lagfix in anyway thus leading to this problem?
Did you get solution to your problem? I had the same problem with a Galaxy Wonder... when i tried to upgrade via kies i got this screen..
That I cannot post actually because the forum prevents me from doing it...
BUT...
I tried OTA upgrade with perfect results... And the funny thing is that I NEVER before could start OTA...
BTW everything's fine now and I bumped to 2.3.6 ggbrd

You can download all the recent firmware from sammobile and you can flash it via odin. Flashing stock ROM via Odin
