Hi all,
I need help here. My phone (with stock Android 2.3.6) does not upgrade through OTA and therefore I only rely on Kies.
Kies says that there is a firmware upgrade available, but when I start the upgrade process, it stops (mostly between 13 to 15%... only once it went to 65%) and then it stops and says:
"Failed to run firmware upgrade, Unknown error occurred"
I upgraded the Kies to least version already. So please help
you must have a reliable internet connection to update through Kies. If Kies fail just download an ICS ROM and upgrade via PC Odin.
And most importantly read around the threads before doing anything, the search function is your friend, it helps to be informed before jumping into something you are not familiar with.
Thanks rcaballero,
As you rightly said I would not do anything without understanding it first. I am not familiar with pc odin yet and am afraid to use it at the moment.
My internet connection is fine. I have rather tried it on 2 different internet connections till now but still no luck :-(
By the way my Kies is showing that my firmware now is: PDA:LA1 / PHONE:LA4 / CSC:LA1 (PAK)
and new firmware available is: PDA:LPD / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP7 (PAK)
If I go for download from sammobile, should I search for the same firmware or any newer ICS ROM will work?
you could look for the same or use any other if you cannot find it, I've tried flashing ICS ROMs for India, Poland and Philippines not much of a difference.
Just stick to what's best for you

My Galaxy S has:
PDA: I9000JHJP8
PHONE: I9000JHJP5
CSC: I9000PTRJP8
Build info: 2010 . 10
When I try to update it via Kies(I have the newest version of kies installed) it shows me that theres an update is available and when I press Update it sais the I9000 Was disconected, a few seconds after the phone gets recognised by Kies again, and again I try to update, it looses the phone then finds it again, USB is fine so whats wrong? How to I update? I am not disconecting the phone in any part of the process...
Kies has some issues and is responsible for a lot of bricked phones, i would say if you want the newest firmware then flash it yourself thru a program called 'Odin'
you can download the newest firmwares from www.samfirmware.com (registering takes 2 mins) and its all official.. or type in the search bar above 'I9000 stock firmware'
just be sure to do a little reading before going ahead to fully understand what to do, or you could become another victim of a bricked phone... there are instructions on how to use odin on the samfirmware website, (it can sound confusing but its easy)
Turn Firewall OFF .

Someone wit the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962237
after playing with Kies for two days I gave up. The newest version could not find updates, version 1.5 with a patcher found updates but still old ones. As azzledazzle wrote try Odin. It is really easy and reliable. I was wary first, but now I switched to using CWM and have Odin as backup in case something goes wrong. Never failed. And it's fast.
Hi,
I uploaded the 2.3.3 firmware as per this post by Ramad - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 using ODIN.
However KIES takes forever to connect to the phone if it connects at all, and gives me the following message "This device cannot be upgraded"... why dows KIES suck so much and are there any workarounds besides using ODIN?
Because you have updated to the latest firmware.
PS. I never use kies to upgrade my phone
You updated your phone through Odin using stock rom .
Kies does not work with stock roms it works with the network supplied roms .
Buy a O2 phone it has O2 firmware use Kies and it reads O2 product code hardware ID and firmware version and upgrades if their is a later firmware from O2 .
Stock rom does not match product codes hardware id and firmware codes = no upgrade .

Now that JVK is official, it can now be downloaded through Kies (yep you heard it right) reconnect again your phone and check the message. Last night I get that message. Now the message is "This is the latest firmware", it means Kies now recognize my F/W firmware and hence available for download
EDIT: I updated through ODIN a couple of months ago, was one of the first who flashed GB. Kies can still recognize my firmware
Well KIES is now recognizing my phone... after i rebooted my laptop. So i guess if someone is having problem, reboot your laptop and reconnect with KIES.
Hi,
I have the 1.5.3_10124 version of Kies
When i connect the usb, everything goes fine.
but then it shows:-
Model Name: GT-I9000
Current Version PDA:JP6 / PHONE: JP2 / CSC: JP5
This device's version cannot be updated.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
I just can't believe people still rely on kies and get confused and mad because there wasn't an update or something. Get the last version of kies and try with it. If there is no update for your operator then kies won't find an update. Even if there are gingerbread updates for other countries there may be none for yours, so you can wait for weeks to get one. All of you should realize how useless kies is and that if you want new updates only from kies you should be patient (it might take quite some time), you shouldn't get angry and you shouldn't make new threads about how come kies didn't find new updates for your device's version.
Then you can download Odin and start using android the way it was intended - like an open source OS and not a closed dependent one relying only on Samsung and kies.
Just use Odin and flash the new 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

You can download all the recent firmware from sammobile and you can flash it via odin. Flashing stock ROM via Odin
Hi guys.
I am unable to update my Galaxy Note by any means. Kies says that my device does not support software upgrading via Kies. When I tried OTA, I get a message saying Failed to update firmware.
This is not the ICS upgrade. This is a 72.29 MB upgrade rolled out months back. I have tried everything with Kies. It refuses to budge.
I have browsed several threads but none provided me with a working solution. I read that sometimes the firmware is flashed when you give the phone for repairing. I DID give my phone at the service centre once and was handed back a completely fresh install of the software.
I am very noob-y in matters related to kernels and CSC and odin. A detailed answer would be really helpful. Your patience and effort is appreciated.
Please help guys. Thanks!
You can update to the latest version of ICS for India using the PC Odin. Thats the fastest way of upgrading. Follow the instruction that Dr Ketan has for upgrading to the Indian Rom of ICS.
hope this helps.
download the stock ics from samfirmwares.com
download pc odin
enable usb debugging
unknown sources
open pc odin
just open pda and browse to the tar file and do not change any other options and flash

download indian ics and use pc odin to update..
see this Dr. Ketan's link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667018
will wait for OTA update.. waited for such a longtime already!!
Karthikdoc - U dont have to wait for OTA update. It is already there.. Just keep refreshing .. I did a OTA update of Note to ICS almost a week ago .. and some even more earlier.
Profest - It would be good if you can go into
Settings --> About Phone
and provide us the Android version
Baseband version
Kernal version
Just want to make sure the samsung guys gave you a right flash and also to guide you in the right direction ..
Maybe factory reset will help.....
Afterall you will have to do it before upgrading to ICS.
