[Q] Kies not showing latest firmware.... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First post here.
I want to update my SGS to this latest Value Pack update 2.3.6 but Kies is telling me that I already have the lastest update which is 2.3.3.
Help?
Also I would like to learn more on how to flash my phone for various roms but find it scary as hell not to mention confusing lol. As complete novice, where should I start?
Thanks.

2.3.6 has been releases selective countries for now. The latest xxjw4 2.3.6 update is released officially for europe only. So you could wait for sammy to rollout the update in your country or just simply download the firmware from xda and flash!

Flashing is easy. Strictly follow the steps when you flash. Yull need to the exact files for yur phone, odin. As you already hav kies on yur pc so drivers shudnt be a prob. Your phone in download mode and flash. This is a ruf guide. Just keep these in mind and read flashing details.
Now this is one of the best guides to follow n flash -"http://androidadvices.com/update-galaxy-gt-i9000-pack-xxjw4-236-firmware/"

[Q] Stopped working after upgrade to Gingerbread.

Hi.
We have two galaxy tabs and was upgrading to ginger bread. One of them was succsesful, but the other one dosen't start anymore.
Donno what's wrong with it?
How can I get it working again?
Thankful for any help. (Excouse my bad english.)
Regards Christian.
You can put it into download mode and flash it with odin. Google download mode galaxy tab. Then download the stock gingerbread firmware from samfirmware.com or xda download site. On youtube there are good tutorials how to flash galaxy tab firmwares. WARNING: you will VOID you WARRANTEE
Sent from my GT-I9100
Okey, thanks for a quick answer. Is there anyway of doing this and not void warrenty? Some recovery thing or something?
Well the download mode is the recovery and kies doesn't provide this as far as i know sry you could send it to samsung

But i am not sure if an official rom will void your warrantee. How did you update it?
Sent from my GT-I9100
flashing official firmware in no way would void any warranty.
You need to find the stock firmware (rom) for your Tab and then flash it via Kies or Heimdall depending on which tab you have, that should get you back up and running unless there's an actual hardware issue.
Thanks alot for your time.
There is no hardware error, this is software.
Can someone please explain in steps how to do this and where to get the firmware and roms or is there any good how-to to do this?
Official firmware is availiable on samfirmware.com registration is free. They also provide flashing tutorials. For any further problems ask me, i'll help

Thanks alot, i'll try.
I appreciate you keeping and eye on this post if i run into some heavy problem

Okey, I changed pit file with odin and after that it works again. I'm in keis with the device connected and in there it says this deviceversion can not be updated.
I would like to be able to update it to gingerbread in keis.
I have to devices and they are both galaxy tab 7" gt-p1000 and one of them is updates, why can't i update this one?
I get this.
PDA:JJ7 Phone:JK5 CSC:JK2 (TPH)
So you have one on gingerbread and the other one is on 2.2, right?
Did you buy them both in the same store/ county?
What is modem etc on the gingerbread one?
Sent from my GT-I9100
The one that I was able to update to gingerbread with keis is bought a few weeks before the other one. Not in the same store but in the same country (Sweden, I live here.)
I don't have the other one at home right now. so I don't know modem (by the way, what is modem?)
Thanks in advance.
Hmm modem dont really know should ask google but i'm too lazy. Maybe these two devices are a bit more different than we think... I really have no idea why kies wont let you update it, sorry. I have no galaxy tab (but maybe in some months?) but you could download the 2.3.3 from samfirmware and flash it. The only problem would be that this firmware (marked red) is unofficial. Means that you might void the warrantee.
By the way 2.3.3 is only official on italian galaxy tabs
I personally live in Austria and bought a Galaxy S2 about a week ago. I think that if it would need a repair i could easily flash it to official 2.3.3 (i am 2.3.4 unofficially) and i dont really think about warrantees.
I am not sure if you would not void the warrantee with an unofficial but not rooted os.
But if you want i can help you to get on 2.3.3. It is your choise.
Official 2.2 or
Unofficial 2.3.3

[Q+A]Definitive Guide to GT P1010

So after following all of the forums with any info on this model of tab i noticed a lot of people asking the same questions, seeing as i have been tinkering and following devs progress I thought Id consolidate as much of the Q+A sprawled across the forums into one noob friendly place. So here goes.
What do we know?
Currently the only official roms are worldwide froyo 2.2.2 and EU gingerbread 2.3.6. The GB rom isnt out over the air everywhere yet so if your kies hasnt got the update and your feeling confident then you can pick up a copy from droidangel.blogspot http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-tab-wifi-p1010-original.html
With detailed instructions here http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-flash-upgradeupdate-samsung.html Read, reread and READ AGAIN. It isn't difficult to do as long as you follow the instructions carefully.
Noteworthy info on flashing:
7zip should be used to unrar the downloaded roms as there are issues with other archive managers, the password is samfirmware.com
If you have connection problems with Odin its most likely driver issues its best to uninstall all kies software and drivers, reboot, install latest kies and connect your device, wait for drivers to install and then reboot again,
If you decide you don't like the rom you can flash stock firmware over it to downgrade and continue to get kies updates.
Is it worth doing?
I have been using 2.3.6 now for a few days and have no issues with light to moderate use, I have noticed a better looking interface(just small cosmetic differences) much faster browsing, and my quadrant went from 750 to 1400, If you have had a different experience please post. This update unfortunately doesn't fix the video out problem or the issue with skype using the front facing camera. In my opinion it isn't an update to write home about but it is worth doing.
Can I install it on a different region of tab?
There have been a few people who have successfully installed this rom on tabs from different regions so it is possible, If you have managed to do this please post your region and method As for trying to flash cross region, ask here and ill do my best to help.
As far as I know there are issues with installing on the Korean version due to hardware differences, more on that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376440
Can gingerbread for the P1010 be rooted?
Personally I have tried Z4Root, Zergrush and SuperOneClick all of which cant get root yet, Skin1980 is however working on a cf-root kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386643 which will allow clockworkmod recovery, superuser(root) and busybox, Please note that at the current time if you flash skins cf-root you will have to reflash the entire firmware if you wish to rollback, This will do no harm as long as you read the forums and have an understanding of what your doing.
This is all the useful info I have managed to find so far, hopefully it can help anyone attempting to flash this long awaited upgrade,
A BIG THANKS to all the devs working on this device!! It is much appreciated.
WARNING: Failure to read and understand the instruction can lead to your device being irreversibly damaged, The different galaxy tab firmware comes in different versions according to Country, Region and Carrier providers. It is possible to brick your phone if you flash it with the wrong firmware which doesn't match your device.
You are warned, proceed at your own risk! We are not liable to any problems you have your device. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT IT ISN'T WORTH THE RISK.
GLHF GIEF THANKS!!
Available through kies
Came through my KIES today 21/12/11, I can comfirm that it is the same firmware as on droidangel.blogspot. My location is Northern Ireland UK.

Is it 2.3.6 or 2.3.3?
samfirmware says 2.3.3
Both the samfirmware and kies are 2.3.6 when installed, it must be a typo on sammobile.

Latest p1010 is kpo.value pack.

[Q] ICS via PC Odin, Now want the official update via kies

Hello Everyone,
I have a few questions I hope I will get satisfied here.
I have recently updated my GT-N7000 to ICS via this website.
android.gs/ update-samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-to-official-ice-cream-sandwich-lpy-with-mobile-odin/
I followed the PC odin method and in a few minutes I got ICS. It also said that via this method your phone would not be rooted and you will be able to get the official updates through kies in future.
Yesterday I saw on the internet that ICS for Poland is out and now I want the official ICS version via the KIES.
Now whenever I try connecting through kies I get the message that "Your Software doesn't support software upgrading via Kies"
What is the problem? How to solve it?
Download the poland version from sammobile.com or dr ketans thread and flash using pc odin
It would be better to download Polish 2.3.6, after THAT factory reset, and then upgrade into 4 through Kies.
when would i get official isc in serbija ? does somebody know?
Moved To Q&A​
Please post questions in the Q&A section​
The problem is the incopatible csc file... Try the solution provided as first reaction on your post. Either you dowload the old firmware, then you flash it over your current firmware and after this, the kies update should work again.
Or you simply download abd flash the pl. Update directly and kies will work for the future releases in poland.

Great job irritating forum members by hijacking another thread as your very first post... I am sure you will get tons of answers. Maybe read a bit before asking questions - there IS a dedicated ICS info thread...

Well Now I am having problem finding the firmware for my phone when I do this
Dial *#06# that will show hour emei. Write it down, then dial *#272*yourimeinumberhere# that will show your csc, you can change it here, it will wipe your data thought. I get XEO as my sales code.
*#1234# gives me
PDA: N7000XXLPY
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000OXALPY
Build Info: Friday May 4
Also KIES says
Current firmware version: PDA:LPY / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LPY(XEO)
What to do now ?
Did you flash a polish gingerbread or which version did you flash?
Cause now it seems you have ICS open germany version.

My Sales Code is XEO previously I have 2.3.6 and then I flashed two days ago this
ICS via PC odin.
Now what to do ?
Well I dont know if there is a polish version of ICS out yet. But you can check that on
www.sammobile.com
But it shouldnt be any different than the rom you currently have. Except for maybe languagesupport.
So if I were in your situation I wouldnt do anything.
There is a simple solution for that. I did it for exactly the same reason as you. Just download official gingerbread ROM for your country /Poland/ and flash it via Odin. If Kies is still unable to use updates, you will have to find right CSC for your phone. There is allways more than one for each country.. because of different carriers etc. Someone described how to do it in previous comments.
If you get lucky, Kies will be finally satisfied with your phone and will offer you official update /if it is really available/
I have reverted back to the Slovak Gingerbread ROM because I had some issues with German ICS. Now I just have to wait for official update for my country..
I just read in development section that official ICS LPY is out for poland also. You can allways flash that through Odin.

You need to check your firmware. If your note using India Firmware. You should change your CSC to INU. INU is India CSC. Warning if you change your CSC it will wipe all your data from your note.

Could u please advice on what i need to do about updating my firmware. Plz advice/help.
@ nischithkashyap
you can download a stock GB from from dr. ketan's thread and flash it.
Or if you prefer ICS you can download it and flash but do not perform a wipe/factory reset once you are on ICS as the dangers of bricking is there.

I just want to upgrade to ICS, should I follow the advice from above? Or is there something else I should try?
Hi watchdog-prime
You should install your country firmware from dr.ketans thread with the help of odin and then update the firmware with the help of kies.
I think it should work.I too ask the same question as u did.i was advised by the same and its working fine.........
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
If you do not want to root and keep your warrenty too, you may not take full benefits of this forum. But that is not the point. As long as you are not rooted, you can approach samsung service center, they provide complete assistence of software and hardware problems. whether the help is direct or indirect, you shall get it here, in this forum. In my opinion, the day is not far, when you will be asking 'how to root' etc.(ofcourse if are adventurous)

Flash different fimware

Hey developers,
I allways used to have HTC's, but now I have a SGS I9000. With HTC I know my way with flashing and stuff but now I got an issue. I don't know if this will brick my phone and I can't find too much information about with the search function.
So here goes, I got a hungarian I9000 from a friend, though I'm dutch. Now I want to update the phone to android 2.3 but there are no PAN (hungarian) updates available from Samsung, I tried the registry key hack with KIES but then my phone would disconnect as soon as I would start the update. Then I realised I could flash firmware with 2.3 from another compatible phone version, like the Dutch one. So I downloaded KIES and the dutch firmware but then I realised that if the firmware is not compatible with my version of the I9000 I would probably (hard/soft)brick my phone.
Also, when I put in *#272*IMEI# there is no option to choose between countries for me, which I read all over the internet there should be.
So please advice me in flashing a new stock 2.3 ROM, I really want it to be stock android
Thanks in advance :angel:
Somewhere in here is a guide for flashing stock jvu 2.3.6 with Odin it only takes 5 minutes once you have downloaded everything
