Hi everyone ! I just bought a used SGS i9000. It's an 3 UK version. Its unlocked and i'm using it in India.
It currently on Android 2.1 and luckily kies is recognizing it and its showing that 2.2 update is available. It it safe to update ? Would I loose the unlock ? I saw the status by typing *#7465625# and all fields were 'OFF' .
Updating wont lock your phone its no difference to you or Kies .
It will of course update to 3 UK branding if any is included .

3 UK branding is already there. It shows 3 logo on start up and there are some apps with 3 in their names. Eg. Skype on 3 , etc.
Anyways, I have started the update via kies ! Hopefully it will finish soon and not relock the phone ! I'll post the status as soon as it gets completed !
Oh man !!! The update was successful !!! Now i'm on 2.2.1 (FROYO.NEJP5) !!
Lets hope the official Gingerbread also comes soon on kies !!

i recently bought a galaxy s i9000 in dubai but i started using it after i came back to india. the first problem was i found that the market app was not there but then i switched the phone to XSG and i got the app.
my problem now is that when i connect to kies and try to update the firmware (iam currently on 2.1 eclair), i get a message saying "this device cannot be updated". can anyone please help me on how to solve this problem without having to root the phone??
Rooting got nothing to do with update .
Check if the Dubai network/provider you bought the phone from has actually got a upgrade to 2.2 . Thats what the phones product code will show the servers for updates .

i have read about phones bought in dubai that have been upgraded. when i approached ssmsung service centre in india regarding this, i was told that they would do it provided i sign a waiver that releases them from any responsibility if the phone doesnt work. the guy there told me there was a 20% chance of the phone bricking up.
is there any way to get the upgrade by changing the product code?

This has been covered many times sense the update came out over a month ago. The update is with Samsung Keis only. You will need to use a PC to update. Please search before opening a new thread.
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...
Anyone here still have official rom for malaysia galaxy tab. I am in desperate as most of the custom give headache to me. the one in samfirmware is now dead.
hope aout of thousands here still have that.
cheers
I recently updated to gingerbread with the help of this thread (this guide seems to be easier to follow). So far no problem with the rom.

I posted DXJPD in the general section. That is the latest official firmware for Asia including Malaysia. You can also update via kies.

The location has nothing to do with the update from kies. Even our friend Darkpal told us so here. I am in the Middle East(UAE) yet I was able to update to the latest Asian firmware although my tab has CSC for Philippines. There is also one report here of somebody from Malaysia who has updated to JPD.....
And even if he cannot update using kies I already provided the DXJPD file for him to flash.
CHEERS!
after tried with kies for my whole saturday daytime, i am still unable to upgrade tru kies. restart phone, computer, reinstal everythings. finally, i am almost give up. so, just use the one you gave= DXJPD.

Do you have a carrier locked galaxy tab?
no. it is unbranded gtab. i tried also your gingerbread (DXJPD). unfortunately it stuck at samsung glow text. go to recovery, it said E partition not mounted. now revert back to froyo.
my step using odin: put the.tar in PDA and click start with .pit file empty and repartition untick.

I have a note CSC LA4 KOR. . does this mean my phone will never receive an update unless I root or change the coding and completely wipe all my phones data?
Kies says my device does not support updgrades and I read that I wont get push updates either? ..
Im new to android and I own a mac, so am I basically f***ed and stuck with 2.36 for the life of the phone?
or is my research totally wrong?
Thanks for any info. . much appreciated
I just did a quick google search and apparently if you know your way around a mac and it's terminal then it's possible to root and etc. As for receiving an update the new update was for Europe and since you have a Korean device you'd probably have to wait for a Korean update. I'm not to sure about Kies not saying your device doesn't support updates, I got off stock as soon as I got the phone.
Same problem
I am having the same problem

but doesnt that require completely wiping the phone? and isnt a PC needed to do that?
a user shouldnt have to completely wipe data to do a basic update. .
I had the LPY 4.0.3 yesterday and decided to go back to my original 2.3.6 GB
What I did was because my phone is the Hong Kong model (TGY) I went to SamFirmware site and under Asia I downloaded N7000ZSKK1
After flashing that on it still wasnt the right one as Kies still displayed that it wouldn't update.
But a firmware update OTA poped up and when I plashed to that I got my original GB 2.3.6 back.
So I tested it by connecting it to my windows PC and kies displayed that I had the latest firmware.
So my advice to you is you should look for the 3 letters in brackets under firmware and on SamFirmware site download the correct firmware for your device.
Mine was TGY for Hong Kong so yours will be different or the same.

From what I'm reading the KOR version will never recurve updates for some reason...can anyone confirm or deny this?...I don't mind waiting...
Hi... Actually same happened with me too... I bought ma phn from India and and took it to korea. And started using it on KT. But when i put ma phn on kies they said that this firmware is not supported vai kies. Before i didnt knew what tge heck is this. Then after some time i inserted indian sim (which obviously is not working here) n then restarted. Ma phone was recognised by kies n it come that YOU HAVE THE LATEST FIRMWARE. So what i understood was of u have the sim from where you bought ur phone(in ma case it was India), just insert it,restart it. N update or do whatever with kies or if dont have just download the correct and latest firmware acording to ur country from sammobile.com, put ur mobile on download mode (by pressing volume down, menu, power button in same time until the warning screen comes up then press volune up key) n by using odin flash that latest firmware. If you dont know how to flash using odin Just tell me. I will let you know. I hope this will help you.
Ps: for flashing no need of rooting and all.

Thanks for the advice. I will try it.
I bought my phone in Thailand. .but I believe it is a Hungarian model made in korea (the owners manual is in Hungarian). the back of the battery says made in japan/finished in korea?? .and now I live in Vietnam. .what a clusterf**k
I can do the odin thing but I dont own a PC (I own a mac) so it is not easy. Last time i did it it took well over an hour with downloads and installations.
Ill be in Thailand shortly so ill see if it will update with a Thai sim, but i doubt it as I dont think it is a Thai made phone ..
KOR doesn't mean Korea.It's for some European countries,and every Note will be updated.

Dont worry. The place you bought matters not the place where it is made. But i dont understand, Y ur phone showing kor. Are u using ur note in veitnam?? If yes then y its still showing korean csc. Anyway for mac there is heimdall same as odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265. :thumbup:
not sure why its saying KOR when im in Vietnam. . I really dont understand any of this. . this is my first android.
Ill try to mess with it tonight and see what I come up with, but from what im reading people are saying KOR is not a valid CSC or its a generic CSC and will never receive updates. .
man this is all overally complicated to get a basic update that was supposed to be released in Q1.
thanks for all the help and advice.
Worry not cuz csc doest matter. Samsung phone are most hackable devices. U ll know how to deal with it. I also learnt all hacking with this device. Njoy...
success!!. . I updated to ICS using Odin and it was really easy.
My only difficulty is owning a mac and the use of a PC at work is very restricted, so i needed the IT guy to allow access to download all the drivers, kies etc. .
but when all is said and done if you own a PC it is a really easy process thanks to Dr Ketans tutorial. .

your research is totally wrong, ICS is being rolled out to different countries at different stages
