[SOLVED] Kies can not update 2.2.1

THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED!
Hi, I am using JPO version of Germany (DBT) for I9000 international. When I connect device to computer, update notification appears for 2.2.1. However, when I click on update after skipping or non-skipping backup, device disconnects and notification appears that device not connected. Then, clicking on OK update process ends but my galaxy s is connected to KIES. I tried numerous times and I am waiting for someone who overcame this problem.
full error message: Firmware update stopped because GT-I9000 has been disconnected. Please check the connection and try again.
I tried those:
Updating KIES
Hard reset device
Uninstall & reinstall KIES
Open KIES as admin
Open KIES in compatibility mode
Restart phone
I also tried Win7 32 bit,XP and XP virtual PC

have you tried it on another computer?
If that does not work you can always download the version you need and flash it yourself through odin. As long as it's a stock rom it shouldn't even compromise your warranty
EDIT:
But first try the other computer, if it does not work on any other machine you can also suspect faulty hardware and just send it to samsung / bring it to your carrier. I think they will investigate and update it for you.

I managed to understand problem thanks to you but I can not figure out a solution. You are correct that my phone connects and synchronizes great normally but it does not connect to KIES in download mode.
maybe kies does not recognize in download mode...so u can choose alternative of flashin with odin..its easy and fast =)

I am afraid that I had a bad experince with Odin. My phone connected to Odin. When I clicked start, nothing happened. After half and hour I unplugged, I saw a phone, a cable and a computer on screen. After that, I updated to Froyo using KIES, that is why I am not a fan of ODIN

Is your phone in Kies mode or usb or???
Check:Settings-> Wireless...-> Usb-settings
Try different settings and see if your phone connects to your pc.
Kies sucks anyway.
kies mode and kies recognized my device but it says me "the device is not upgradable"
the word in " " is my translation by italian to english ...
Also forgot to mention...same as in flashing via odin... try to change usb-port in pc or if possible another usb-cable.
Kies is known for problems with it...specially updating via it.
Samsung is to blame for that.
I flashed with odin but I gave them the same problems with the last update done via Kies.
I did an hard reset and kies now works...
don't use kies it's **** for updating your firmware. it will softbrick your phone be sure to use odin !
KIES !!!! people still use that bull**** ?
In my opinion it depends from user to user, in my case kies worked without any problems, and when the phone softbricks you can easily unbrick it with odin^^
Ok im also more comfortable with Odin , but as a new user it is much easier to use Kies..

KIES locks up updating firmware

I connected the N7000 via USB to the PC and KIES informed me there was a firmware update PDA:LRK/PHONE:LRK/CSC:LP5(XEU).
When I click on the Update button in KIES the connection to the N7000 is lost, the firmware then downloads to the PC and gets to 100% and I get a confirmation dialog asking to continue. KIES then freezes and doesn't do anything. It has to be shutdown through Task Manager. An error message is then displayed stating "object is not referenced".
The Note is on OrangeUK and is currently running 4.0.3 Baseband version N7000XXLPT.
I've had no OTA update message but KIES is stating there is an update. If I select the Update option from the Settings on the phone, it reports there is no update.
Any ideas why KIES drops the connections while attempting to download the firmware. I presume this is why it's not updating.
I've tried re-installing KIES and performing the Connection Troubleshooting but the same problem occurs.
Thanks.
uninstall kies, reinstall kies, latest version, reboot pc
I that doesnt work perform within kies connection troubleshooting. That should reinstall drivers and try again. I know you did this, but did you do with reboot and newest version Kies?

Soft bricked note 5 N920G

Hi Guys,
I was trying to update my N920G(INDIA) stock firmware from N920GDDU2AOL1 (india) to N920GUBU2AOJ8 (Ecuador) but at the end in odin 3.10.7 the firmware update failed. Now if i try to start the device I am getting an error message saying "Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" but If i connect my device with Smart Switch PC software it shows that the device is unsupported .
What should I do?
PS: I am still able to go into the download mode

hi ,
most probably the reason Smart Switch is not working, is that you are "rooted " ?
Have you tried flashing the latest correct stock Rom of you device ,
not just any old Rom etc
(Reasons /think in terms of .. old /updated boot-loader etc )

hi ,
as far as i know Kies does not "work " on Note5
You have to use Smart Switch .
See screenshot what happens if you try to connect to Kies .
(i have N920 C in this case )
Further ,Smart Switch most probably only works on non rooted devices etc and not on rooted /modify devices .I might be wrong ,but this is what my understanding of Smart Switch .
good luck
Have you tried flashing back to stock OL1
Have you solved this problem? I have the same and neither smartswitch nor kies nor odin works. Please HELP!!!
