[Q] Stock Upgrade to JH7

I have a stock (JF6) ATT captivate. I am in the U.S. I pulled Kies off of the UK site. I didn't make any changes to Kies registry (Win7) entries to fool it into seeing a different (non-ATT) phone. Kies is telling me it has a f/w upgrade available to JH7 but it gives me a server 404 error (cannot find) and won't download the f/w. Should I just ignore this and wait till froyo or is Samsung really trying to push out an upgrade for ATT phones? thanx

I have the same thing going on

Kies has an update or android has an update? Every time I try to check for an update it tells me it cannot communicate with att.

Kies on the PC (not ATT through the phone) says "You can upgrade the firmware" when you hove over the lower right pda/phone icon with an up arrow. On the Firware Upgrade popup it gives model name, current verion, and latest version showing the pda and phone latest version is JH7. Then I get the error.

Did any of you try changing some regestry settings? The Galaxy S forum found a test 2.2 rom for their device through Kies...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769043
Maybe there is a test rom out for the Captivate as well?

I am on JH3 and altered my Kies settings to JF6 and i get nothing.
Can you post a screenshot of your regedit settings and make sure to blur out your phones personal information.
I am eager to get a rom that has better gps over anything else.

I have not had this problem at all, but I am still running JF6 stock. It could be a custom firmware or ROM causing this problem. However, there still are not any updates OTA from AT&T.

Whenever my phone is set to kies, it just tells me to close all applications and i need to be at the idle screen.
I give up on that endevour.

you need to be in tw-launcher .. at least that's how kies recognizes for me
Im gonna try to see if I get an update :O
--EDIT--
I tried it.. and I can't get it to shake hands because it says "This device does not support this service" X-x..I guess I have to be using JF6 not JH3 D: ?

for some reason other home launchers won't work with usb functionality outside of the development mode.
if you delete your default action for the home button and choose twlauncher, the usb will work for mass storage mode and for Kies.
i noticed the link provided in XML, didn't appear that way on my xda client on my phone. There was an actual link pointing to JH8.tar. i got no where though

[Q] What is the most current version of KIES for Canada (Bll Mobility)?

Hi all...
I am just wondering what the most current version of KIES is here in Canada?
I am still on v1.5.1.10074_45 and have seen users with newer versions here on xda (from other countries I believe) but there seems to be no update available when I try to update in KIES itself.
Anyone know what is the newest for us here in Canada and the best way to get it?
PS... I know that KIES sucks but am still on official JH2 and waiting as patiently as possible for official froyo.

last time I checked, it was still on JH2

Im not talking about the firmware for the phone... Im talking about KIES iteslf. Do you know what the newest version of KIES is for us Canadians?

all Kies are created equal
it finds your ROM via your phone model, not Kies version

If this is true then why are there so many threads here with people talking about the newest versions of KIES and how it seems to be connected to when they get firmware updates, etc? And why is there so many different versions then?
EDIT - Does this mean that the version of KIES I have now IS the most current version for Canada?

Thank You jpaik. How did you get KIES to update to this or did you download it directly from Samsungs website? I have tried to update through KIES but it just sits there and does nothing (typical KIES) lol!!!

I update through Kies itself. It's a hit-or-miss process. I suspect their server is getting hammered at certain times of the day. I have often closed and re-opened Kies several times until I make a connection. Either an update will start or the message states that this is the latest version (which itself is sometimes untrue!)

the download link for the latest Kies is on the wiki
just click my SGS wiki link and get it
Kies is not related to the ROM releases

i updated to 1.5.3.10093_81
i have a 19000ugJG9 phone... still havn't been able to connect to kies to fix my 3 button issue... pretty queer.
edit: downloaded the version from bell canadas site... 1.5.1.10072_3 in hope i would be able to connect it to my phone...
still nothing... says 'connected' on my phone but never manages to connect to kies.

[Q] Not a retail device

I tried to flash a rom in my phone but every time when I does this, just before the flashing begins, the update program ends with: No retail device and I cannot continue.
It goes fine into download mode. Any clues ?

I'm guessing the Samsung updater knows that the device shouldn't be available and so will not update it. I don't know if there is a way around this.
EDIT: Should just check, is your device retail? Or is it some other version of the Omnia you've got?
Casey

It isn't a retail device. It came in an unmarked box. I have had my share of devices that were not supposed to be flashed over the last years and still managed to flash them. But this is a tough one. Cannot find a way to do this.

On second thought: Is there another flash program available ? Looks like the retail flasher checks if it is retail. (It will be after I flashed it).
It outputs this error:
[Channel 0] Confirm Model Name
[Channel 0] FLASH LOCK

No other solutions available ?

Not that I've seen

I have exactly the same problem. My device comes from the batch of the early prototypes and I can't flash it to a new firmware. Neither it updates to 7008 through Zune as it always says the phone is up-to-date.
Big shame, I'm stuck to the 7004... Any idea for solution?

I suppose you could try contacting Samsung? Maybe visit one of their service centres to see if they can flash it for you?
Casey

@Ivoky
Mine is too but it is updated to 7008. Guess I can update it to NoDo too with the instructions on the Omnia general forum. But the receptance is much better with the latest firmware. That is why I would like to upgrade.

For the Samsung Taylor you have to use the ChevronWP7 NoDo Updater to update the phone to NoDo.

did you find any solution to update?

Omnia7 no brand no logo firmware update

Hey guys, i'm receiving official firmware update(i think because it's called samsung update) via zune just right now. I didn't even expect it!
updating................

you are on Mango relase, correct? .... maybe InternetSharing update
Normaly before ZUNE install the update, the make a Backup to restore the pre relase.
If yo unsure, try this backup solution here
[APP] simply 100% BACKUP your phone - to 100% RESTORE over ZUNE
and try this update ......

finished, rebooted, then downloading another update, when rebooted the 1st time remained at least 2 minutes stuck at samsung omnia7 boot logo, if you are scared go have a walk in other rooms of your house, do your bed, clean up the mess, it worked for me

please let us know the firmware, bootloader radio version when its done plz!

Updating my phone right now !! Unbranded, dev/intertop unlocked omnia 7. will post updates shortly.

very confused over this update practice
I have ever thought a un-braded ROM are the better choice ....
My Omnia 7 is a t-mobile "light" branded device. before come the officially MANGO i have it flash it with a un-branded ROM. But it had a older firmware + no InternetSharing.
so i have few weeks ago my device flash with the t-mobile ROM. I`M now pleased with it and happy over the InternetSharing function ...
I have few WiFi only (tablet) devices and wouldn be without this great future .......

yes the T-mobile ROM KH2 posted on mobiletechworld will persuade Zune to upgrade it to
radio 242.11.9.1
firm 242.11.9.4
bootloader 5.9.3.0
internet sharing & compass works perfectly now !
I had issues with the Data connection on Orange UK , but used the Samsung app "network profiles" to switch from T-mob de and it's all good.
I think the reason that the non-branded ones are lacking is, that not all carriers want internet sharing enabled.. so the generic one doesn't get it.. also I suppose the cost of testing it has to be paid by someone.. T mobile in this case

hi , i have the same relase as you, but i have no good working compass
which compass you use?
cheers, miro

my version with diagnosis now:

and btw if you really need internet sharing you could enable it using diagnosis on a unbranded phone
just follow this guide on mobiletechworld and keep in mind you have to revert to zune sync when you want to use zune again
thanks

Just recieved these updates too, no Interner Sharing either.
In fact I see no difference other than build numbers?

I am wondering why my phone version is ki1 and not ki2 could someone enlighten me, please?

Hmm well, my Omnia 7 differs from all of yours.
Seems like you are struck without Internet Sharing and on Mango 7720.
Ever though about flashing the firmware to a newer version? Or using a ROM from another carrier?
Mine is a Omnia 7 with T-Mobile Germany Branding and I had received Internet Sharing together with Mango 15 days ago.
I even received a few hours ago another new update, which changed the OS version to Mango 7.10.7740.16.
I already announced it on forums here (screenshot and version numbers there):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349495

the thread title is "omnia7 no brand no logo firmware update" how did u understand your t-mobile germany omnia7 is different from ours???
thank you for the completely off topic post, we are able to read the forum I think

I successfully set up connection from my laptop with my unbranded omnia7 and found a little error on mobiletechworld guide using it
so here's step by step for my case: samsung gt-i8700 and wind ITA carrier with windows7 home premium x64
phone version:
PDA: I8700XXKI2
PHONE: I8700XXKI1
CSC: I8700ITVKI2
1:dial ##634# and press call to enable diagnosis menu
2: in diagnosis menu dial*#7284# and select the middle option: Modem, Tethered Call, and reboot phone as asked
3: Download and install http://www.multiupload.com/GH391NDSY1 and don't mind the Verizon branding on install wizard
4: connect the phone with usb cable to the laptop and wait for driver install, and check in device manager; you should see Samsung mobile modem
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
you could also double click and go in properties --> diagnostics --> and press query modem to se if replies correctly
5: now go to http://www.2shared.com/file/_Ty7WFZ7/WINDEasyConnect_20100111.html and download wind easy connect and install; be sure to not select any drivers during installation
6:wind easy connect then will detect the omnia7 and asks if he should use it, say yes and voilà, you can now use the auto-configurable dialer to connect with omnia7 and surf happily
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
be sure to check if you have a data plan that permits the use of cell phone as a modem(i asked call center) i'm not responsible if you don't check and have then to pay a lot of phone bill
and remember that omnia7 is not officially supported by wind ita
sorry for my bad english

Just received the update. Developer unlocked, unbranded Omnia 7. No internet tethering :-?? I don't see any improvements either.

i noticed that battery now lasts longer, and phone seems smoother and quicker, not bad!!

[Q] Ativ-S - DP - Still on old firmware?

Hi,
Device is Ativ-S i8750 bought through Handtec. Operating on GiffGaff UK PAYG.
OS 8.10.14203.306
FW: 2424.13.10.1
CSC : XEF
I've searched around and found a little info about the problems with my camera since installing the 8.1 update through developer preview. Apparently it's fixed in firmware update 2424.14.9.3 which came out around October last year.
While my phone has picked up OS update, I don't seem to have picked up any firmware updates four months down the line.
I've have searched to find out what to do next but I am a bit stuck and unsure what to do next. So hope this community can help. Is there anything I should be doing to get this update other than just waiting?
Thanks!

rather annoyingly the only way I got it was to flash back to GDR2 and work upwards. Royal pain in the arse if im honest but I got there in the end, I believe it was disabled in some of the CSC images that were flashed because upgrading to it also disables some of the ability to unlock the device. As much as I liked the idea of it being unlocked I didn't make any real use of it so decided to bite the bullet and flash it back an upgrade, several hours later, back on DP with a working camera and a more stable Bluetooth stack!

Thanks for the reply, man. Sorry for my slow response.
I was hoping there was another way around this. Thanks anyway!
Is there a total n00bs guide to flashing an Ativ-S back to GDR2?
EDIT : I found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391138&page=11 - but looks like the ROMs are no longer up

I have the same problem, but am still on firmware 2212.13.11.2 (and hardware 15.3.1.0, bootloader 13.08.14.16). Phone is a SGH-T899M by the way. Because of PfD my OS is 8.10.14203.306, which is recent. Disabling PfD doesn't make my phone upgrade the firmware, nor did it when my OS was a few months older.
It might be that in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...aylors-super-rom-tool-dump-sgh-t899m-t3037789) the solution can be found to downgrade but there's a bit too little step-for-step instructions for me to do it. If someone can give them to me (or a different solution to force my phone to upgrade firmware), then I'd be thankful!
EDIT: in the ATIV SE (thanks to the author) thread there's a how-to 'hidden' in the download. It goes as follows:
1. If you have not done so already, extract the .zip file that this is contained in and ensure that you are working from the unzipped folder
2. Install SamsungUSBDriver.msi and restart
1b. If you have Windows 8.1 x64 you need to disable driver signature verification first:
http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
3. Extract the file SM-W750V_VRU0ANC2_R_signed_2.zip
4. Power off device (and leave it unplugged)
5. Open the file WP8_Binary_Downloader_Ver._3.54.exe
6. Click the yellow/orange folder and Open the file SM-W750V VRU0ANC2_R_signed.wp8
7. Click the green folder and Open the file SM-W750V_VRU0ANC2_R.csc
8. Boot into Download Mode (hold Vol. Up and Home buttons while device is powering on)
9. Plug in your phone
10. If it shows up in the Channel Information section and does not report an error, you are ready
11. Last chance to consider saving your data
12. Press start
13. Wait until it has completely finished and your phone has rebooted
14. Skip through initial setup, go to Settings > about, and reset your phone once before using it
15. Enjoy stock!
I guess this should be the same for other phones, but you have to exchange the file with the file for your phone as given in the taylors-super-rom-tool-dump thread. Ofcourse, no guarantees, this is what seems logical with my limited knowledge

Hi Guys,
Just to let you know - I managed to flashed with GDR2 - file GTi8750-OXABME1_R.
It wouldn't update to 8.1 until I changed CSC from XEF to ATO, then it picked up the new firmware and 8.1. It just finished installing a few moments ago.
So I am now on :
Software: Windows Phone 8.1 Update
OS version: 8.10.14157.200
Firmware: 2424.14.9.3
I have tried checking for more updates and now I am getting error 80072f8f, which apparently it time related, even though time is correct. Same after a reboot. So not sure if I'll get any futher updates till I can work around this.
How far am I off the most current OS version for ATIV?
EDIT : Took a punt that it was the CSC that was causing the time problem. So switched CSC to BTU (which apparently is UK. British Telecom maybe?) - and it's now saying it's downloading updates!! \o/
EDIT : The phone reinstalled, did the gears. But OS version is unchanged. I do however have a newer firmware still: Firmware revision number: 2424.15.3.2
