[Q] [Kies] this device's version cannot be updated

Hello,
I rooted my phone due to issue with wifi to take care of it and fixed by rooting deleting one of the file associated with wifi.
But now when I connect my phone Kies give me "this device's version cannot be updated" error. I think rooting caused this issue.
I unroot, reset to factory, and cleared the cache but it's still showing "this device's version cannot be updated".....
Anybody know what's causing this and know how to fix this issue? I've search all over on google but no luck.
Please help!

All i9000THKTTTT Users,
I have finally fixed the "this device's version cannot be updated" error.
First, I uninstalled kies then download the kies from the link below.
samsungmobile.com.br/suporte/samsung-mobile-software.do
Choose Galaxy S then you should see program version available.
Download the program and update the program within kies.
This should fix the issue.
Let me know how it goes....

Only the latest KIES version does the update. The older version would say "this device's version cannot be updated". Thus, no need to uninstall/install, just update to latest version. At least for me.

I also had the same message and to fix it downloaded the latest kies version without uninstalling the old version.
Note my xp home computer now has problems connecting to kies since i upgraded but my windows 7 ultimate computer works like a dream.

mystery solved
I've bought my sgs from Orange Poland, and I updated it to froyo, but update brought me nasty lag bug... after update procedure, kies told me "this is the latest firmware".
so I've decided to debrand my phone in Samsung's authorized service, because my in fw version number info in kies I had (IDE) at the end.
service fixed the lag problem they put me on 2.2 fw from 2010 nov. they promised me that they debranded my phone, I asked them, would I be able to update my phone via kies later, they said, sure you will be able
after I got home I connected my phone to kies, and I saw an info "This version of the device cannot be updated." WTF, I thought something is not right... but update to 2.2.1 was nowhere near and I had better things to do
today I solved a mystery (because samfirmare twitted about new 2.2.1 rollout in kies ) what exactly "This version of the device cannot be updated." means...
my new firmware from service was XEO not IDE "brand", but in kies I saw IDE... kies cant update when CSC in firmware does't match this one in *2767*4387264636#
and here is the bummer, service did not run preconfig, and did not changed my CSC code in *#272*IMEI# I had IDE in preconfig, I've change it to XEO, and afrer phone reboot and data reset, now kies is saying "this is the latest firmware" with (XEO) at the end.
now, Samsung roll this 2.2.1 update please I am ready

How do i change that value?

I have the Samsung Galaxy Europa (GT-I5500) and I'm trying to update to 2.2 and Kies is saying that this version of the device cannot be updated. It's really annoying me and I really want OFFICIAL 2.2 on my phone. Any thoughts?

Current firmware version:-
PDA:JJ6 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JJ2 (XEU).
On about phone:
2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I5500XWJG3
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-perf
[email protected]#1
Build Number: ERE27.XWJJ6
Please help as I really want to update my phone!

None of this flashing lark as I haven't a clue how to do it and I'd need step by step instructions etc and I want the legitimate 2.2 Android firmware.

Could I hand the phone to a Samsung mobile center?

If so how much?

Could they update to 2.2?

Is it free?

Is there a fault with the firmware?

Current firmware version:-
PDA:JP9 / PHONE:JP9 / CSC:JP9 (TPA).
On about phone:
2.2.1

[Q] root 2.2.1 on bvjs4 firmware

hello,
i am looking to remove the simlock on my sgs, in order to do this however i need to root. i have read this post this page and every post since feb 2011 (the release dat of my firmware)
however i dont wants to just pick one of the kernels and go at it gung-ho
i am locked to orange in the UK, it is an orange branded phone.
here is my firmware details:
PDA:I9000BVJS4
Phone: I9000BVJP4
CSC: I9000ORAJS4
build info: 2011.02
buil number: FROYO.BVJS4
any help would be greatly appreciated, i have tried replying to the thread but as i joined yesterday i cannot reply untill i post 10 posts.
can anybody suggest which CF-ROOT kernel i should use?

what baseband verision is ? at settings/about phone . If it is JPY you can root with cf-root for JPY .

baseband version is I9000BVJP4
also there is this info
kernel version is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 (i have downloaded an app from the market that checks root and it says im not rooted)
im not sure if the [email protected] bit means anything??

Baseband does not equal firmware, baseband is another name for.modem. So don't use cf-root.
To root, flash the speedmod K13C kernel with odin and select root in recovery.

thanks mothatt, would i need to remove root if the update to gingerbread becomes availiable? also if i remomove the simlock would i still be able to do kies updates from the network provider (for warranty purposes)?

Root will not have to be removed for a firmware upgrade, the upgrade will remove root.
AFAIK removing simlock voids your warrant because it makes a permanent change to your efs. I'm not completely sure though as i have never unlocked.

hello friends,
sorry to be back again, i am having trouble with my phone, when it turns on it passes the orange splash screen but then i get a blank screen and it vibrates alot.
in order to get the phone to load i have to wipe/format to factory settings every time i switch on the phone, or it just goes black and vibrates.
also on a side note: if i use odin to flash new firmware, would this remove the orange brandig rubbish? im not bothered about losing data because i have had to erase everything to get it to load up.
if so which one would be best as i cannot find a bvjs4 firmware on samfirmware

[Q] Back to 2.2.1 Stock, please help me!

Hello everyone! I Hope someone can help me. I need to send my phone to service because the 3.5 mm plug is broken.
I need to get it back to stock. I have used a custom rom from romkitchen, and now i have no idea of what i've done. Sorry, but i am a noob and my english sucks!

Can someone please help me here? Now my phone says:
FW version: 2.2.1
Baseband v: I9000XXJPY
Kernel v: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
Build number: FROYO.XWJS5

The white circle is still there! Is there any way to fix this? By rooting it again or something? Please help!

If you want to go back to a stock rom (without root i suppose) you will need to update your device with kies. But because you don't have a kies installed ROM, you won't be able to update with kies.
You will have to spoof the ROM version. Try following this post:

Need urgent help

I don't know what I've done to my phone but, I bought it 2 days ago and researched about installing floyo etc etc, I know for a fact my model is E15A not E15i, well as a requirement I meant to have baseband 15 If I'm correct, I had 06 so I decided to try and flash the baseband to 15.
What happened was it got stuck at the sony ericsson thing at the start of the phone.
My other friend directed me to flash this file on to the phone, so I did. Which unfortunatly leaded to my phone saying this - Firmware version 1.6
Baseband version Unknown
kernel Version 2.6.29
Build number 1.3.A.0.62
Does ANYONE know how I can fix this, I've downloaded the baseband version 06 and 15 again still the same result, seems I cant get back to the original version, I know that I do have xrecovery on my SD card ( Got wiped off for some reason ? ) if I put that back on I don't want to have to flash back to E15i again because it takes ages to load up.
Please if someone can help me, I don't want to be stuck with this forever.
