Kies probably cannot find the correct network provider details on your phone to match any provided upgrade .
As you no longer have the supplied rom you will need to try the Kies Registry patch /Spoof post .To fool Kies into thinking its a genuine firmware for your phone .

[Q]Get back to Branded Firmware

HI i upgraded my T-Mobile sgs to the 2.2 firmware using the kies patcher my question is now is there a way for me to default back to the t-mobile 2.2 software?
Regards
Cprl.rst
Yes use the original T mob rom you saved with Kies Patcher .
Then update to current TMob via standard Kies .
NO SAVED ROM
Read Kies Patcher and find out how to spoof registry and or flash back to Eclair using Odin and then update via standard Kies update .

Backup original ROM
Is there any way to backup my original (branded) ROM?
I intend to flash another ROM on my phone, the I9000BVJJPD one, which is the same a friend of mine has on his phone, an i9000B from Brazil. He got the 2.2 upgrade via Kies, but mine didn't, so I contacted Samsung and they said that my phone was branded and so it couldn't get the upgrade.
Since both are basically the same models, I wish to flash to the unbranded ROM, but I'd like to keep my original ROM as backup in case something goes wrong. Since it's not available in the web, how can I make the backup myself?
By the way, my current version, from *#1234# is I9000BVJJI1

[Q] Im new, why I cant update my samsung Galaxy s to 2.2

Hi all.
Could anyone tell me why I cant update my samsung Galaxy s to 2.2,
its on o2 but the phone was on orange if thats any help.
Iv downloaded kies and it says there are no updates for my phone so can you help me?
Ive updated my girlfriends phone and she has got the same phone me
She can update it again now.
Allso we cant send mms:mad
Pete.
Hey there
Responding to you're message.
Im having this same problem with my girlfriends phone.
Everytime I try to update her phone it says that it cannot upgrade her phone.
I updated mine to 2.2.1 now. Her phone is still on 2.1-update.
Her buildnummer is I9000XXJF5.
Either she does not recieve my MMS.
Very strange.
P.s. Im from holland, and the phone arrived in Germany Language.
Please, need some help.
Your apn settings will be different on o2 if the phone is from orange which is why probably both internet and mms doesnt work.
Don't know why kies isn't playing ball, make sure u have the latest version.
I'd suggest changing to a stock firmware from samsung. E.g. The latest jpy firmware.
First thing is to check the 3 bitton combo works, if it doesn't then there is a really simple windows based fix for this on this forum that doesn't require any programming or command line stuff.
Next, visit samfirmware, sign up free, download odin and firmware. Follow instructions to a T. Install jpo firmware first as it's v2.2 then you can go for jpy as the v2.2.1 is really a vast speed increase.

Thanks for getting back,
Ive done all the setting with o2 and still dont work.
I did the three button combo and reset my phone and put all the setting back in still no good.
Ive done all this visit samfirmware, sign up free, download odin and firmware. Follow instructions to a T. Install jpo firmware first as it's v2.2 then you can go for jpy as the v2.2.1 is really a vast speed increase but it would not download.
My phone numbers Pda jf3 Phone jf3 and Csc je5 if this helps
Cheers Pete.
If your phone is O2 UK you get update to )2 firmware .
If its an Orange product code phone you need to check Orange has updated the firmware .
jje
you could always do what i did with my o2 uk phone that wouldn't upgrade to latest version...im guessing that you may still be on JM1 software? [thats what mine was].
all i did was download the Kies registory patcher and use it to tell kies that i was on XEU firmware. next time i connected to kies it told me there was an upgrade available to JPY [2.2.1].
hope this helps, Matt

[Q] Need some clarification on KIES is looking for

Lots of us are trying to get our phones back to Stock Firmware so KIES can update to 2.2.1 & at some point 2.3. In my case i9000T Latin America (TTT) model which seems to be very popular on the various US sites selling unlocked i9000 phones (New Egg & Expansys-us)
Many of us have used Euro 2.2 or 2.2.1 Firmware without issue using ODIN 1.3.
What happened in the process of applying the Euro firmware that keeps KIES from updating once you've rolled back to a stock firmware. In my case i9000TUBJH1 which is android 2.1 (ECLAIR.UBJI1) .
I've tried everything from changing the Product Code from KOR, TTT, PCW and any other one that might trigger KIES (1.5 or 2.0) in allowing the update.
I have 2 of these phones. One is untouched stock firmware. It was i9000TUBJG7 and after KIES update it's now (i9000TUBJP9 with a TTT Product Code). again, just trying to get my other phone back to stock and then update to 2.2.1 so both phones are the same.
Which file is KIES looking at to allow the update? CSC?
I'm not sure why the i9000T firmware is not readily available on samfirmware.
Thanks - many of us are just trying to learn the basics and spent hours reading these forums.
Try reading the last few pages of this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959806
why bother with kies anyway i have a 19000t.. just use odin and flash the stock rom form samsungfimrwares.com or a custom one like docs etc..
i am currently on jpy with jl2 modem.
also once you have clockwork on you can also flash one of docs roms via that.
or is it that you are trying to get a stock rom via kies. that is not on samsungfirmwares.com ?
if that is the case i think the reason may be that these stock firmwares were never release via kies?
I bricked my initial handset using KIES as it crashed during the update. Won't be using it again to flash my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Samfirmware & i9000T
No sign of any i9000T (TTT) Latin America firmware on Samfirmware.com. The latest update via KIES for this phone was about 10 days ago. Version i9000TUBJP9 which installs 2.2.1.
Again, just trying to get back to stock. I'll be passing this phone to another user at some point and they'll need KIES to keep it simple.
Any help in understanding what keeps KIES from updating after you've installed stock 2.1 firmware would be great.
I'll keep reading ...
thanks
Kies reads the codes from the phone .
Firmware 2.2 Product Code Vodaphone Hardware ID Vodaphone .
Looks for update for the product code if all matches downloads .
Product Code stock Hardware ID stock matches nothing on its Database = no update .
Route back i have used is flash Eclair spoof product code via Kies registry patcher . Upgrade and save rom at the same time to enable reflash to product codes firmware .

Did you manage to get the update from Kies? You would do a great service if you can share the firmware.
Kies looks at the product code. I replied to your other post.

[Q] Can't update via Kies - i've done my reading

Hi
I'm helping out a friend, and we are having some troubles being able to update via Kies.
In Kies, the firmware is listed as: (blank field/none)
And we get the message "no update available"
1. USB debugging is disabled (tried enabling)
2. Tried editing Regedit
http://getandroidstuff.com/tutorial-force-kies-update-samsung-galaxy-regedit-guide/
3. Tried flashing pit, PDA, modem and CSC that are corresponding to eachother.
XXJPU from here:
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...cial)(firmwares)galaxy-s-i9000-download-only/
4. Tried hard reset
Nothing seems to work. Are the any edits in the above shown tutorials which could lead to succes?
It has taking quite a lot of time and searching and googling, and we are close to giving up. We are 2 android well experienced android users, one of use mobile supporter, and we can't get it to work. All of our experience combined, didn't fix the problem.
What to do?
Thanks in advance
Why do you want to upgrade via kies??? Just use Odin to go to whatever firmware you want... what are you running now?

Because the owner don't feel safe using Odin and want's the function to be working.
Running stock 2.2.1 XXJPY now
We tried flashing different ROM's via Odin
Kies updates official firmware that came with the phone .
You have flashed stock firmware Kies cannot update that .
Only update path is now via Odin .
You can try spoof firmware to correct product details .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
Other question is are you trying to upgrade too a firmware that does not exist
that is 2.2.1 is the very very very latest firmware .
Gingerbread 2.3 has not been released by Samsung yet .
jje
The problem is that the firmware field is left blank...
it doesn't recognize the firmware I guess, but it should be stock 2.2.1 and then it would be able to recognize it, but it doesn't.
Are there any known problems regarding x64 windows?
Will try the spoof, but I think it is the same as altering Regedit
Howcome, Kies can't update that stock firmware we have flashed? the system files should be the same, as of modem, PDA and so on.
Kies spoof method is your only choice .
Stock firmware from samfirmware etc is not the firmware that came with your phone so IDs do not and will not match .
Below an example of legitimate O2 UK firmware ID upgradable by Kies .
Replace that with stock and codes change and fail to match anything on the server .
KIES does not recognize stock firmware .
Stock is not what comes with the phone .

[Q] Still can't get stock fw on properly

Hi if someone can help id really apprteciate it. Dunno why this is confusing me so much.
Anyway I want to put stock uk firmware on my galaxy s so I can sell. Pretty sure it was the unlocked stock firmware.
I tried doing the reg hack on kies - it finds update and then says device version wrong.
I tried using spooffw - for some reason it updates the pda ok but doesnt update phone/csc (click ok and it reverts back to whatever it was on before)
I tried installing JM1 from samfirmwares and whent into kies and again says cannot update on this device.
Can anyone tell me what I need to flash onto this bloody phone so I can get kies to upgrade to the oficial fw.
I would like to put on a 2.1 rom and then have kies upgrade then I know its stock. I downloaded jf3 but that didnt come with phone or csc ? where would I get them?
first of all its not a bloody phone
then why you want to use kies? you can flash a rom by odin easily, just do some study for how to flash a rom and proceed,
kies sometimes have strange behaviours, personally I never used kies after I tried it once
I take it you want not the stock rom but the rom provided by the phone provider .
Two routes one replace the original rom you saved .
two flash stock rom lower version than current rom on Kies . Use a method of spoofing the correct codes for the original product .
Kies only updates if the correct codes for product firmware device and hardware are showing . Once you go the unofficial flashing firmware route Kies may not find these codes until you find the correct codes .
Stock = Samsung firmware Original = network branded that came with the phone .

Hi flashing a rom isn't the problem but flashing a rom that makes my i9000 appear un tainted by custom roms etc is where I'm having the difficulty. I wanted to do the final update via kies then I would know that kies thinks my phone has genuine firmware. If it wont update via kies then this is a clear message that the phone has been tampered with and I may not get the money from the company.

You are right I want original firmware. Main problem is I have no idea what this would have been. I didn't make a copy as my first upgrade involved doing a kies reg hack before there were any custom roms and I stupidly didn't take note of what I was currently on. What I do know is that my phone has never had any operator logos or software on it. (unlike my gs2)
I have tried doing the reg hack on kies 2.0 but apparently thats not properly supported yet (can I use an older kies 1.5 or something? or will it ask to be upgraded?)
I have tried using spooffw but step 3 (where you set phone and csc) doesnt work, when you press ok is reverts back to whatever it had on before no matter the value you enter.
Does anyone know of an o2 stock firmware that has been uploaded somewhere? ideally with pit, csc modem and pda. then I can hopefully use odin and then confirm that all is ok in kies?
Or if I am going to go the spoof route (probably with kies 1.5 as 2 is not playing ball) does anyone know what values I should use for each?
Thanks
well on www.samfirmware.com there is a list right at the bottom for provider FW, maybe one of them is o2 firmware, check it and see if any of them stand out as the one you had firstly.
why do you need o2 firmware specifically ??
you can sell your phone with JPY 2.2.1 stock and no one would be the wiser .

jpy? so is that a firmware you could actually get on a device brought in uk? which specific download should I choose? Once downloaded and flashed if I connect to kies will it be able to do future updates?
EDIT woohoo I did as you said and used UK JPY found here
http://www.multiupload.com/PZNPALHVDW
and its now being picked up in kies saying latest firmware installed. Excellent now I can sell it without worrying.
bit sad it was definately the best phone ive owned and there still doesnt seem to be much out there that can push it to its limits (let alone the s2) still the extra screen size and better pixel layout are definately worth the upgrade.
Thanks everyone for your help.
If thats not it i uploaded O2 JPY within the last month linked in two posts .Dont know where though .Its probably mine on Sammy anyway .
Flashed direct as PDA via Odin . If problems after with modem . Unzip file extract modem flash file again as PDA and also the modem file is what i did .
