[Q] Can't update via Kies - i've done my reading - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] Need i9000T 2.2.1 Firmware i9000TUBJP9

I bought 2 unlocked i9000T's . I've kept one with 2.1 and have been waiting for the official 2.2.1 release via KIES which is now available.
My other unit was updated to 2.2.1 with the Registry Hack. What's the best way to get my Hacked i9000T back to factory so it can take updates as they roll out?
I've looked for the i9000TUBJP9 firmware to load via ODIN but no luck. I use ODIN on my TAB.
Any help would be great.
The i9000T is the latin america version.
thanks
The latin american version is the i9000b
You can get 2.2.1 by either flashing it directly with odin or flashing back to an older stock and then updating with kies

GT-I9000T need stock firmware
I have 2 of these phones. Part # GT-I9000T . One has been updated to 2.2.1 via KIES to I9000TUBJP9.The other phone was Flashed with Euro 2.2.1 rom. What's the best way to get the I9000T back to stock. I can't locate the I9000T firmware on Samfirmware.
Just need the download link and will use ODIN

You should be able to go back using kies 1.5 and kies patcher. Then you would go to Kies 2 to get the latest update. If this doesnt work for you I have an old eclair that I think should work with this phone, you can use that as a base to jump to the latest version.
btw could you please post the modem that came with the update? It´s easy, on the phone you already update you download Terminal emulator then in the program enter:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/bml12
This will copy the modem to the sdcard. Á lot of people will apreciate it! let us know how it goes.
I downloaded terminal emulator on the 2.2.1 i9000TUBJP9 phone and the command gives me an error:
cannot open for read: no such file or directory.
Does it require root? Since this is a new & stock phone was not planning to root it. I will root my 2.1 once I get it upgraded to JP9
The 2.1 Eclair version I'm running again is.
Baseband:
I9000TUBJH1
If you have a different i9000T firmware to try with ODIN that would be great. The older version of Kies 1.5 patcher did not work. I tried all if the i9000TUB settings CWW, PCW, TTT, and several more.
Once I get this phone to the version as my stock 2.2.1 I'll root it and get the modem file - no problem.
Are you sure you typed it correctly? I was under the impression it did NOT require root. I´ve done it on mine but Im rooted. Special attention to bml12, thats B-M-L-1-2 (just in case)
I dont have the rom around in this machine but luckily I saved the download link
I900T
I think this is exactly what you´re looking for.
If possible when you are upgrading the phone via kies you can try to save the entire rom. There are instructions in the kies patcher thread in the first post on how to do it. But the modem at least would be great.
Good luck.
Any luck?

Thanks for the link, but that's the same file I have here and loaded on the phone. KIES 1.5 won't update it. It's been Pretty frustrating. I'm not sure what KIES is looking for.
You need kies 2. Install the latest version. Kies looks at your product code and current firmware version. Make sure toi change your csc region to TTT also just in case.
To change your csc in 2.1 enter *#272*hhmm# where hh and mm is current time of phone. Change to TTT. Beware this will reset your phone.
If you need more help let me know.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If all else fails you can try spooffw, you can find it in the forums. But you can try what i posted above first. To add to that nake sure kies is reporting your product code to be TTT.
Good luck.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No luck yet.
Changed product code to TTT using the *#272*HHMM# method.
Using KIES 2.0.0.11033_25 and no luck
Tried the 1.8 patcher and set to TTT which spoofs PDA:JG5/ PHONE:JG7/CSC:JG4 (TTT)
Is there anything on the phone to reset. I tried factory reset under the Security option.
What product code does kies say you have? The code i gave does not change the hw product code, just CSC region code.
Patcher 1.8 wont help you, disable it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If this isnt working i think you have a 2 options. 1. Try spooffw or 2. Root both phones. Backup efs folder of the 2.1 phone. Make nandroid backups of both phones. Then restore nandroid backup from your updated phone to the other. I believe this would work.

I have done the Spooffw which works great for all other firmware than TTT. There are no i9000T codes on it.
The Spooffw is a very cool and easy way to do this - just need the i9000T codes.

Product Code: GT-I9000HKTTTT
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUBJG4
I'll work on it today again. No problem getting the phone to Euro firmware XEU. KIES updates it no problem. Tested it on several different compters and KIES was no problem. The SPOOFFW method does work. It would be great to have him add the I9000HKTTTT.
Here's the codes I tried to enter inthe SPOOFFW manually:
Product code GT-I9000HKTTTT
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUUBJG4
The SPOOFFW will accept the info , but KIES never connects to update - The phone won't connect as it should. If you leave it on long enough, it will connect with no firmware info.
This made me think that SPOOFFW had additional data in it's preset info.
I'll keep trying for the I9000T TTT
After you spoof check that everything is set with *#1234#
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes I checked with *#1234# and it checks out.
It's more an issue of connecting to KIES after it changes the Productcode to HKTTTT.
Here's my steps:
Check Productcode is:
I9000HKTTT
Manually enter:
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
Press OK
Reboot
Manually enter :
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUUBJG4 (I don't think it's I9000TUBJG4 - I think there are 2 "UU"
Press Home key
Connect to KIES
Phone tries to connect, just says Connecting.....
I wait 2 minutes. Sometimes phone will mount after 2 minutes but Firmware areas is blank.
I go into RegEdit and delete DB Folder info and connect to KIES again. Same result. Makes no difference if I quit KIES and delete the DB folder or do it live.
I'm running KIES on a few computers so I can uninstall and check on various things with the install.
If I delete everything and use one of supplied Presets with SPOOF FW , then everything works fine.
It's almost like the i9000HKTTTT and PDA, Phone, and CSC are not matching and KIES gets lost and is not sure how to proceed.
For the csc im opretty sure its 1 U
Before deleting DB i would shut down kies and disconnect phone.
Also in pretty sure it makes no difference if its a preset or not

[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] 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 .

Unable to upgrade firmware via Kies after flashing to stock rom

Hi,
I flashed my SGS to CM7 and don't really like it. I have downloaded the firmware ( I9000DXJF4 )from sammobile and flashed it. However, I am unable to upgrade the firmware using Kies to the new firmware available thru Samsung.
My current version is as followed
PDA: I9000DXJF4
PHONE: I9000DXJF4
CSC: I9000OLBJF4
From the look of my phone, everything seem to be back to its original setting, with all the singtel (my telco provider ) apps. Now I am trying to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 (I think) using Kies. Kies prompted that it is unable to update the firmware. I tried the latest version of kies and also version 1.5. Both are unable to do so.
Anyone can kindly advise?
Try changing your CSC code to XEU. I encountered some issues with KIES updates when having CSC code KOR.
Hi,
I tried to change to XUE but this option is not available. I go into CSC by *#272*HHMM#. Is it wrong?
*#272*???????????????# (??????????????? it's your IMEI, it must have 15 digits)
or try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nfye.insanity.toolbox
Hi,
Thanks for your help. I got my IMEI code. It pop up in a small window. Then I tried to change the CSC using the method u mentioned. But nothing happen. When I press the call button, it say "USSD code running..." then follow by "UNKNOWN APPLICATION"
I also tried to install the software, but it is only for android 2.2 and above. I tried to find the crack version for the premium version but cant find any. Do you have the premium version? Can upload to mediafire and send me the link?
Never try to install via KIES ..
Install via ODIN the Firmware you want it's simply better, even if ODIN is unofficial.
Introductions you will find by googleing I think .. it's easy.
Good luck and have fun
Hi,
Ya, using Odin now. But still prefer Kies over Odin. A lot of stuff become automatic with Kies.
I just flash to DXJG4 hoping to be able to link to kies but it failed.
I read that once the lagfix is fixed, there will be problem with kies. Am I fixing the lagfix in anyway thus leading to this problem?
Did you get solution to your problem? I had the same problem with a Galaxy Wonder... when i tried to upgrade via kies i got this screen..
That I cannot post actually because the forum prevents me from doing it...
BUT...
I tried OTA upgrade with perfect results... And the funny thing is that I NEVER before could start OTA...
BTW everything's fine now and I bumped to 2.3.6 ggbrd

kids says device software not supported for update
Hi all,
I don't think this is hijacking...seems similar problem.
I flashed to ICS before it was released, now want to update to official version via kies...so I flashed to this with odin (downloaded from samfirmware.com)
PDA: i9100BOKK1
PHONE: i9100BOKJ1
CSC: i9100TMUKK1
But when I connect to kies it still says the 'device software does not support updating via kies'. I've tried flashing lots of other gingerbread firmwares from samfirmwares.com (need gingerbread so kies detects it needs updating). Really stuck now. How do i find which original stock firmware to flash to get dues to update? Tried the list on xda but still cqn't get it to allow an update. Is there something else that can cause kies to give that error, or is it definitely that I've got the wrong stock firmware? If so, is there a sure fire way to get the right one? I've tried the xda branded firmware list, that's where I got the link for this firmware above. Please help!
Wrong IMEI --> no Update
Check your IMEI (*#06#). Do you have your original number or is it changed to 004999010440000?
When I didn't succeed with OTA/Kies-Updates I found that the "developer IMEI" was the reason.
