I have updated my Galaxy Mini using the official Samsung Kies programme.
Kies now shows that the latest software is installed.
It all appeared to be ok, but I am now having problems with Bluetooth.
I contacted Samsung and they recommended taking the 'phone to a service centre for the problem (below) to be rectified.
As this will be difficult, can I carry out their recommended solution? if so, can anyone explain how to carry out the procedure.
Regarding your case, kindly note that the issue reported with the phone
indicates that the phone would need a software reset, or re flashing of
the Software, in order to have it operating normally again.

Hello,
A collegue is running Android 2.1 on her Galaxy S. I believe it has the codename GT-I9000. She is currently running firmware version PDA:JF3 / PHONE:JF3 / CSCJF1.
Since Samsung released their Froyo update some while ago and it is believed that Froyo significantly increases the performace. This is a stock installation. The phone isn't rooted.
When I connect the phone to Samsung Kies (2.0) it reports that there is a new version, like it is supposed to be. Screenshot here.
However, when I initiate the upgrade the process fails at Downloading (0%) and reports that the server returned '403 Forbidden'. Samsung fails to respond for more information about this message.
I'm hoping that someone here knows a way to possibly fix this altough this seems like a server-side error. If not, is there a way to manually upgrade the phone without losing contacts, media and installed applications?
Thank you in advance;
Jorijn

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy S and I want to back it up and update it to the latest version of software.
I have download Kies, but when I load it, the Firmware Information area says the following:
"This version of the devive cannot be updated"
"Current firmware version: PDA:JF3/PHONE:JF3/CSC:JE5 (ORA)"
I have tried Googling for an answer and tried Samsung's useless support area on their website but cannot find a solution.
Can anyone help? I seem to be able to backup my contacts, but not apps, or upgrade the software version.
I have various glitches and bugs when using my phone that I would hope this software would iron out. These include, phone not loading some apps, screen freezing, blank screen appears and only way to reset is to take battery out, loses connection to SD card so wont load gallery, wont allow an extra Google account to be added...
It seems to have some serious problems. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks for this
Why would there not be an update of Android for the Galaxy S? There has been news about it being out so this doesnt make sense.
Thanks for the other link - looks far too complicated for me to start tinkering with this. Is there no other way for me to get an update?
Do you know anything about how to back up apps?
Wont a factory reset clear everything I have on the phone, so I will lose everything?
Thanks

I said and Kies says no update for your branded phone whoever you bought it from has not yet updated the firmware .
Pointless now as 2.3 due for release soon .

yes

I think Im unfortunate enough to have one of the first batch of Orange UK Galaxy S's which have issues with the Kies software and are, according to Orange "un-updateable".
Samsung are working on a fix but its a Kies issue apparently.
If I factory reset, I will lose everything. I have backed up contacts, I can sort images, videos ect easily, but how do I back up apps? There is no option for this in Kies?
So i heard about the 2.3.3 updated for the tab and i decided to check via kies
And knowing (from my SGS) that i have to update first with the old update to get the latest i decided to do that (the one from January or something)
But when i try i get an Error Saying that Kies could not be administrator permission from the Tab
Is this a known problem?
PS: anyone know how to change the language in Kies? i would prefer it in english because it makes it easier to describe problems
some users over at swedroid have some issues with sgs. no solution yet
Sorry. not allowed to post link
So i changed computers (usually do kies updates on my laptop) and its working fine
currently half way though the firmware update
Unable to update via Kies as well
I am getting the same message. States that I do not have the permission of the P1000 device administrator.
Was trying to update an unlocked Euro P1000, using the newest version of Kies and Windows 7 Premium. Also tried to use my XP to do the same, gets stuck on the screen after hitting the update button, or comes back with an "unknown error."
I hate Kies, but am would rather not root and bootload as I'm selling this in the next month or so.
Think I am moving away from Samsung. Love their hardware (have a Galaxy S and Tab), but hate their support and software updating.
Hello,
I can only suggest you to look at Overcome rom in the developers section.
There is an amizing guide explaining you step by step how to upgrade your tab and at the end you'll have a much better 2.3.3 rom than Samsung stock one.
If you still want only Samsung rom stop the update process when it says to install Overcome and you'll end-up with a very clean rooted stock 2.3.3
best solution seems to be a clean install of Kies. Uninstall, clean registry, download new from samsung, install. Kies must be center of gravity when it comes to bugs :/
Hi there I'm having problem updating from JPO Froyo to the recently released Ginberbread JVO.
I've reinstalled Samsung Kies and the Samsung USB drivers but I'm still getting this error everytime I try and upgrade. The phone itself is unlocked.

I've never rooted the device or installed any custom ROM. I only upgrade via Kies.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like kies itself is misbehaving. Try uninstalling kies and then reinstall it to see if that solves your problem
I already did that and i'm still getting errors when I try to upgrade.
Is it being blocked by your firewall?
My firewall is turned off.
hmmm that's strange, it should be working normally in that case.
OS shouldn't be an issue, im assuming you have plenty of free ram, and that you're not running anything else you don't need to be running in the background.
Maybe try giving samsung a call and see what they say? I know kies is very tempramental from my experiences with it in the past. That's why I started flashing custom roms lol, to get away from kies.
Hi,
I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Mini to New experience Stock ROM 2.3.6. Upgrade was successful and
everything is working fine. The backup I had taken in Samsung Kies is now becoming difficult
to put it back to my phone. I tried all possible ways to connect my phone to Samsung Kies but
this is not working. Due to this I am unable to restore my backup to my phone. Whenever I
connect my phone it gets stuck in connecting message and does nothing. It used to work before
the previous ROM.
Can anyone help? please
cmiiw kies only works with stock rom
