[Q] Update through KIES - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
right now I am using JPY firmware 2.2.1 and I would like to upgrade it. But not through ODIN, but officially through KIES. However, when I try to do this with kies it shows that 'This version of the device cannot be updated'. Is there still any possible way to upgrade my firmware through KIES? As I could not find one.

Upgrade to what 2.3.3 ???
You have to wait for it to be released and your phone network provider to update it and send it to the Kies server .
Not released yet .

you can update ROM by using Odin if you can't update by Kies
How to update (Thai) >> www .droidsans . com/galaxy-s-froyo-update-available
Ok, so Im a little slow when it comes to this stuff. Im trying to understand how this works. I am from Canada living in Thailand. I bought the Galaxy here in Thailand with the expectation to take it home with me. I have looked at the firmware on the phone and tells me its DXJF4. I was wondering why I can not upgrade to Froyo using Kies? My understanding so far is I need to upgrade via ODIN or trick kies into thinking I have a different firmware for it to do the upgrade itself. So Im wondering what the difference is between JPH and JF4?
Also, has the update for Froyo not been released thru Kies in Thailand yet? Is that what the issue is?
Same situation
Hi,
I'm in the same situation, I'm living in Indonesia and on JG4. I bought the phone outright and it is rooted and unlocked. I have tried tricking kies with no luck and thinking trying odin now.
I have the JPO rom i downloaded for the UK, will this kill my phone if i flash to this European rom or do i have to download the update specificaly for JG4?
Thanks!

[Q] The latest Froyo Vodafone update

Since Gingerbread is being pushed out to Galaxy S's at the moment, I'd like to flash back to a Vodafone rom so that I can update through Kies when Gingerbread is available in the UK, anyone know how I could do this?
Thanks
From your saved Vodaphone rom or from another persons saved Vodaphone rom .
Or by using Odin to flash to stock Eclair then Kies for official update and also SpoofFW may be needed .

No Kies update server does not have your phones firmware on its check list its no longer updatable by kies as product codes firmware and hardware ID match nothing on the Kies server .
Possible to use spoof to inform Kies you have different firmware .

[Q] 2.3.3 via ODION - KIES "This device cannot be upgraded"

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.

[Q] Upgrade from kies

Hi all
i am using darky's 9.5 ROM
now i wanna upgrade to an official ginger bread ROM through kies
what should i do now?
Kies always keeps on saying
"No update is available for your mobile"
Kies uses your current firmware info to determine whether there is an update for your rom version and carrier. Because custom rom's don't fit these properly they just appear as not update available. I suggest you go here for the Kies Patcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
Download it and spoof Kies to your carrier code then try and update. If it doesn't work then it may mean it isn't available for your carrier and probably easier to update yourself
