I don't have any of the 3 button combos anymore (for some reason?) but I used to lol. I can't get into download mode or clockwork mod even through ROM manager, the phone simply reboots.
Because of the download mode problem, I can't access my phone via Odin, and the kies connection is sketchy, as it doesn't often connect to my I9000, it just sits at 'connecting..'.
Luckily its being connected today and I would like to update to 2.2 froyo!
My current software is 2.1update 1 and my firmware version is
PDA:JF3 / PHONE:JPM / CSC:JF3 (VOD)
I live in Scotland, and 2.2 has been released for i9000 in this location, but when I get connected to Kies, I get a message saying This version of the device cannot be updated.
Kies version: 2.0.0.11014_49
Help would be greeeat !
Try using Kies patcher, where you can spoof your location code.
Its now available also for Kies 2.0:

CSC: I9000PTRJP8
Build info: 2010 . 10
When I try to update it via Kies(I have the newest version of kies installed) it shows me that theres an update is available and when I press Update it sais the I9000 Was disconected, a few seconds after the phone gets recognised by Kies again, and again I try to update, it looses the phone then finds it again, USB is fine so whats wrong? How to I update? I am not disconecting the phone in any part of the process...
Kies has some issues and is responsible for a lot of bricked phones, i would say if you want the newest firmware then flash it yourself thru a program called 'Odin'
you can download the newest firmwares from www.samfirmware.com (registering takes 2 mins) and its all official.. or type in the search bar above 'I9000 stock firmware'
just be sure to do a little reading before going ahead to fully understand what to do, or you could become another victim of a bricked phone... there are instructions on how to use odin on the samfirmware website, (it can sound confusing but its easy)
Turn Firewall OFF .

Someone wit the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962237
after playing with Kies for two days I gave up. The newest version could not find updates, version 1.5 with a patcher found updates but still old ones. As azzledazzle wrote try Odin. It is really easy and reliable. I was wary first, but now I switched to using CWM and have Odin as backup in case something goes wrong. Never failed. And it's fast.
Hi,
I uploaded the 2.3.3 firmware as per this post by Ramad - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 using ODIN.
However KIES takes forever to connect to the phone if it connects at all, and gives me the following message "This device cannot be upgraded"... why dows KIES suck so much and are there any workarounds besides using ODIN?
Because you have updated to the latest firmware.
PS. I never use kies to upgrade my phone
You updated your phone through Odin using stock rom .
Kies does not work with stock roms it works with the network supplied roms .
Buy a O2 phone it has O2 firmware use Kies and it reads O2 product code hardware ID and firmware version and upgrades if their is a later firmware from O2 .
Stock rom does not match product codes hardware id and firmware codes = no upgrade .

Now that JVK is official, it can now be downloaded through Kies (yep you heard it right) reconnect again your phone and check the message. Last night I get that message. Now the message is "This is the latest firmware", it means Kies now recognize my F/W firmware and hence available for download
EDIT: I updated through ODIN a couple of months ago, was one of the first who flashed GB. Kies can still recognize my firmware
Well KIES is now recognizing my phone... after i rebooted my laptop. So i guess if someone is having problem, reboot your laptop and reconnect with KIES.
Guys, quick question. Every time I switch my laptop on, Kies says there is a firmware upgrade.
So, I switch from ADW Launcher to the stock Samsung Home, fire up MTP, and sync up.
Then Kies does nothing. The firmware I have is JMI / JMA / JM4 (SER).
Is there something I need to do?
Thanks.
It tells you there is a firmware upgrade before you have connected device
Are you sure its not telling you their is a kies update instead?
Try uninstalling kies and ten installing latest version from samsung site, see what happens.
Do we know how/when Kies checks for updated firmware? Is there a way of making it check (there's a "Check for updates" option in the Help menu, but that seems to just talk about updates for Kies itself)?
I think it checks when you connect the device and kies recognizes it..
as it shows in the general tab after some time if any update is available!!
Hi,
I have the 1.5.3_10124 version of Kies
When i connect the usb, everything goes fine.
but then it shows:-
Model Name: GT-I9000
Current Version PDA:JP6 / PHONE: JP2 / CSC: JP5
This device's version cannot be updated.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
I just can't believe people still rely on kies and get confused and mad because there wasn't an update or something. Get the last version of kies and try with it. If there is no update for your operator then kies won't find an update. Even if there are gingerbread updates for other countries there may be none for yours, so you can wait for weeks to get one. All of you should realize how useless kies is and that if you want new updates only from kies you should be patient (it might take quite some time), you shouldn't get angry and you shouldn't make new threads about how come kies didn't find new updates for your device's version.
Then you can download Odin and start using android the way it was intended - like an open source OS and not a closed dependent one relying only on Samsung and kies.
Just use Odin and flash the new rom
Hi all,
I need help here. My phone (with stock Android 2.3.6) does not upgrade through OTA and therefore I only rely on Kies.
Kies says that there is a firmware upgrade available, but when I start the upgrade process, it stops (mostly between 13 to 15%... only once it went to 65%) and then it stops and says:
"Failed to run firmware upgrade, Unknown error occurred"
I upgraded the Kies to least version already. So please help
you must have a reliable internet connection to update through Kies. If Kies fail just download an ICS ROM and upgrade via PC Odin.
And most importantly read around the threads before doing anything, the search function is your friend, it helps to be informed before jumping into something you are not familiar with.
Thanks rcaballero,
As you rightly said I would not do anything without understanding it first. I am not familiar with pc odin yet and am afraid to use it at the moment.
My internet connection is fine. I have rather tried it on 2 different internet connections till now but still no luck :-(
By the way my Kies is showing that my firmware now is: PDA:LA1 / PHONE:LA4 / CSC:LA1 (PAK)
and new firmware available is: PDA:LPD / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP7 (PAK)
If I go for download from sammobile, should I search for the same firmware or any newer ICS ROM will work?
you could look for the same or use any other if you cannot find it, I've tried flashing ICS ROMs for India, Poland and Philippines not much of a difference.
Just stick to what's best for you
