I am trying to update to ics via kies since 3days and no luck. The 36mb stability update has been installed via ota but whenever i am try to update to ics via kies halfway thru it gives the timeout error.
This is seriously frustrating. Can anyone please help me provide alternate way to update? The ics update (139mb) is not yet available via OTA. :banghead:

Did u try to unclick the USB debugging option? The kiev upgrade doesn't require it I think, just try again,if not successfully, search in the forum and flash it, there are plenty of safe ways out there...

I am also getting the same timed out error. probably it is because of the load on the server. Will try to update at a free time and see what happens
Getting the same error first with 5% then with 45% still trying
All right finally OTA update showed up on my cell. Problem was that i was on roaming 3g network and could not afford to update the phone then and there (partly due to rise in fuel costs as well )
So i postponed it, set the reminder to 1 day. Now when i try to update it states "NO UPDATE AVAILABLE"
THIS SERIOUSLY SUCKS.
MY wife's note got updated in a smooth manner yest via ota. And i am still struggling.
Any pointers guys ?
Thanks
Ok i did a factory reset and go the OTA update option again. I am on android 4.0 now.. testing it. and going thru the xda forums .. :-D cheers!!!

Hi all,
I am new to this Kies flash process and have read people having problems when updating their ROM to official releases.
I am currently on JF3 and Kies is offering JM1, I want to upgrade but am wondering if there is a "recommended" way to update?
I have an unrooted phone and have installed software like Launcher Pro, Advanced Task Killer, Alarm Master etc...
I was wondering if I should do a factory reset first on the phone before I upgrade to JM1?
I am running Windows 7 and Kies is on version 1.5.1.10074.2 running in Administrator mode and I have Antivirus turned off.
Any tips for a hassle free update greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance
No just update via Kies... Unless you havent rooted your phone and you dont have a lagfix installed you can update the normal way.
Remember that your data may be corrupted after upgrade and i would advice to do a factory reset after upgrading the firmware to clean up the phone.
So backup your data!
there is a new version of Kies out just today
link is in the wiki
Thank you for the info guys. I did the upgrade and it work flawlessly.
Got a bit scared when Win 7 said that it was installing drivers halfway during the install and the device appeared to get disconnected
But the progress bar kept going and I waited about 5 minutes and it completed and rebooted the phone. Now I am on JM1 and it does run better
I will check out the new Kies too.
Thanks again for the input.
Has anyone managed to update their phone by OTA in the setting,about menu??
If i try to update its just sitting there for a good minute or two, then just times out saying connection problems.. (over wifi, not able to try over 3G)
Ok, maby there's no update to get, but shouldnt the phone state so, not connection problems?
Anyone actually got this feature working?
It works.
I did a OTA update from V10c to V10d 3 weeks ago.
It depends on the day. Sometimes the Update Server seems to be offline and sometime online. I get the message "You have the lates Version" which pops up very fast or "Connection failed" after a few minutes.
No problems here.
Mine just pops up with the usual 'you have the latest version' message
I just get the usually message stating my phone is on the latest version, even though I'm on v10b...
I get a connection fail everytime I try...
I checked now on another wifi (iphone wifi hotspot ) an it works, so apparently there is an issue with my wifi/router...
I have no update option in "About" settings. I searched and saw a thread but no solution on how to get it back. I am on 10b version with 405 baseband from India. Any advice / solution on this
Hi ,
in Italy OTA update works from V10A to V10B.
But V10B on my phone not work fine , It make reboot or freeze my P990.
The new V10C ( beta ) are very good for now
I think there was a similar thread. If you have an unbranded phone you might not be able to use ota as its via a network provider. However you'll more likely get any update quicker via the lg update tool because of this

Hey guys
I'm using a Verizon Galaxy Tab but I do not have it connected to Verizon's network as I am using it WiFi only. I've gotten a few notifications saying there is an update available but every time I click "reboot and start download" my device simply reboots and does not begin the download. I'm assuming this is because I am using my Galaxy Tab wifi only. I've tried Kies and my device doesn't want to connect via Kies for some reason. I'm hoping there is a way I can simply download the 2.3 file and update within the device itself. My device is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im using a verizon wireless Tab on wifi also with no plan or account with verizon. The update will still get pusked to the device. I did not get the notification, but instead I went to settings/about device/system updates.
Thats where I found out about the update. I don't remember if I had to click anything to start the download but give that a try.
Thanks for the response. I tried this but it says my device is up to date but I'm still on 2.2. It's strange because 3 times I've gotten a notification that said an update was available but each time I try to update the device reboots but doesn't install the update.
Hi Fellas,
So here is my problem and i am sure you guys can fix it.
Phone-NOTE 1
Rooted-No
Current version-ICS
Country-India
Problem-I am trying tp update the firmware to JB on my phone using KIES ONLY because whatever i do if i check the OTA update it says"NO UPDATE AVAILABLE"
So anyways what happens is that it download the firmware update file and then after that when it tries to update/apply the update i get tjis freaking CHINESE/JAPANESE message and when i click OK it starts all over again
I have tried MULTIPLE SYSTEMS/MULTIPLE KIESINSTALLATIONS and STILL NO GO.
I have attached the screenshot of the error message and would really appreciate any help.I reaaly apologise in advance if there is any thread already created for this error.
I tried finding one but i couldnt.
Hi all , 1st post here so hi from Scotland.
As t' title says I'm having Hassle's updating my GT-N7000 from 4.0.3 OTA vie settings/about phone/software update/update. It downloads fine, reboots and runs the extraction/update however when it gets to the home screen I'm told that the update has failed and to connect the phone to a PC via Kies Air. Only problem is I don't have a PC but i do have a nexus 7 13 which says is incompatible with kies according to Google play.
So I'm here begging favours people, anyone got a suggestion or workaround thingy? And thanks for reading.
Is the device rooted?
No, there's a couple of launchers installed but it's not rooted.
I was wondering if I downloaded it and then booted to the boot-menu if I could run it from there, but then would that make a difference?
You can make a backup of your files & settings and do a factory reset. Maybe after that the ota update works. Give it a try, if not you need a PC and flash latest Stock Rom...
Thanks User_99,I'll give that a try. :good:
