[Q] Kies "This version cannot be updated"; Telstra-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7in ABANDONED?
Hi Friends,
Last week I bought 2 Tabs (Currently at AUD 400 outright). Since playing & today I found that, in Kies it says "This version of device cannot be updated." [See attached image]
What does it mean? Telstra model is GT-P1000T. Does it means Samsung/Telstra will not issue updates/upgrades for GT-P1000T??
what if we upgrade unofficial ROMs? Does these models GT-P1000T/GT-P1000L/GT-P1000N/GT-P1000 have any hardware differences that can brick the tab?
I appreciate you feedback.
Thanks & Regards,

Just ROOTed & Clockwork Recovery installed..
It means the version of kies has a problem
Hi - Yes I have the same issue. I just upgraded to the latest version of Kies, and I have a Telstra Galaxy Tab, and get the same message "This version of the device cannot be updated"..
Keen to understand whether other ROMs are workable to upgrade the device past the JJ3 PDA, JJ3 Phone and JJ4 (Tel) CSC
You can update to overcome rom. I flashed my telstra tab the other week. Works fine!
+1 can apply custom ROM. FYI I also bought it for $400 3 days ago but checked today.. & telstra got it $299 out right online only price... no winning for me :-(
wich method did you use to get clockwork on the telstra tab
same in uk
+1 for the Galaxy Tab WiFi GT-P1010. The Kies program indicates that I have the latest and there are no options for OTA updates. The firmware & Android had better be able to be updated.
Wow. I got my tab for $899 from Telstra in December. Cant belive they are selling them outright for $299. fwiw these are the same network freq as the ATT tabs and they run custom firmware without a problem.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
bought the tab from telstra on the 299 price tag. just installed kies on my windows pc and found that i have the same problem too.
Update: I got jmi via kies. If You are having issues try a custom rom at your own risk (jmi is way better than jj3)
I also have a Galaxy Tab, the P1000T. I have tried to root it so I could make a back up, but none of the rooting programs work. They go through the motions, but end result is nothing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to flash the device, with a 'unoffical' update, you need root access.
I don't want to brick the device, but I would like to update the OS/ROM.
Nowonmai, I have 2 Telstra p1000t's. You need to use super one click to root the tab. It's on the forum, do a search. Make sure to READ the instructions...
If you then decide to upgrade to Gingerbread, Follow the Instructions EXACTLY. I found the modem.bin in the [11.MAY.2011][ROM][GSM][2.3.3] ◄► Overcome ROM v2.0.0 BETA 2 ◄► GINGERBREAD!!! ◄► thread, the rest is in the [stock rom][2.3.3] p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjpz thread...
Works a treat...

I searched for "super one click" and all I got back was "Super one hip", something about a bag for toting things for kids.
EDIT: I searched for it as superoneclick and located it. Sorry took a while for the caffeine to kick in.

Yep

Works fine.
CSC can be changed after flash (I set mine to XEU)
Product code still ends in (TEL) though and same error from Kies about unable to update.
Otherwise works fine and lost crappy Telstra apps and boot splash.
All good!
Rooting not required.
Solved
hi i have the same problem too. but i found a solution. (Singapore Galaxy Tab owners - no need to go to service center))
1 first back up (very important)
2 check your region using *#272*IMEI# (mine is XSP Singapore)
3 then i change it to XTC (Philippines)
4 it will make factory reset
5 update you kies
6 plug it and ready to upgrade
7 after the upgrade you can return it back to the previous region (no. 2) (optional)
8 restore back up
9 download all your previous apps.
then enjoy..........
How do you check you region code ?
check your region using *#272*IMEI# (mine is XSP Singapore)
I cant type "IMEI" in the dialer ?
Sorry got it.... I inserted my IMEI number in that place and could get through.

I bought 2 SGT GT-P1000's. I wrote about a debacle I had purchasing them, as both said they were from U.K.-London addresses. Anyway, because they still had some Korean apps on the official Samsung Apps software, I sent them both in from the U.S.A. to Great Britain to have them "officially" put the correct English only software on them.
Long story short, got both back. One was updatable through KIES, one wasn't. They deleted all of the official U.K. apps that were originally on there(I guess they figured since I lived in the U.S.A., I didn't need or want them.
I had asked anyone before if there was anyway to get back what was officially originally on them as I too paid about $600.00 full price. I was able to flash both over to whatever rom I wanted and back to the stock Italy Gingerbread. But, yeah, it was weird that when they did come back(it was a long drama and took over 2 months-they were lost, sent to wrong service centre, etc., etc.
The reason I wanted the original software was because it allowed me to access the free $200.00 in software like the movies, music, ebooks, games that came with the purchase after I had registered them during their promo that Samsung had. They took that all off and when I go into the websites now, it says that I am not in an authorized network area-even if I change CSC or change time zone. So, I basically had downloaded them when I first had them and wanted to re-download my free stuff. Screwed yet again!
Does that mean if I change my location to UK or Sprint US, I can actually update the TAB throught the Kies provided by the local telecom operator?
I bought a SGT P1000 2nd hand (unlocked from Orange UK) and it was working perfectly. I wanted to change the firmware as I am not keen on the branded orange firmware.
In my past experiences on mobile fone firmwares I am quite good. Anyway every firmware I try and fololw the guides for those firmwares I get always end up not able to boot from the Galaxy Tab Samsung screen.
all installs from Odin3 v1.7 are fine. even the Download logo on galaxy tab shows up but cant allways access back reboot area depending on firmware installed. but can never pass the Galaxy Tab Samsung screen.
I did not get any info from +#12345# <<<<---- i know i may have wrote that wrong) because i never checked i was lazy. so really I have no clue what firware i need to get exactly and any other bits i need.
so if anyone can advice i would be much appreciated my tab is
Samsung galaxy GT-P1000 from Orange PLc UK) Unlocked (2nd Hand)
What is the model of your GT. Check the back of the unit which should start with P1000 then a letter.
Once you have that, then go to samfirmware.com and look for the correct ROM for your model and download.
Download Kies on your computer to make sure drivers are installed and unit is connecting to your PC.
Download Odin 1.7 and follow instructions with downloaded ROM.
Good luck, most of us have been where you are today.
Let me know how it goes
hello fella thanx for the reply..
On the back of the galaxy tab it just says Model: GT-P1000
and on the box it says P1000 PM
I will follow what you said and have a go. thanx fella for the support
I will let you know what happens and be back to check this post in case you
have any further info.
well I have gone to this page fwandroid.htm on that site you suggested
and all i could find is Samsung P1000 / Galaxy Tab
no extra in list which have PM in letters.
I enter the link and it takes me to Europe Samsung P1000 Firmwares.
but also which do i choose cause i have no idea which is the right firmware for me as i see a list combining of for an example
Europe Firmware
P1000XXJH3 #
P1000XXJH8 #
P1000XXJHA ##
P1000XXJI2 ##
P1000XXJI4 ##
P1000XXJI5 ##
My GT is version P1000N so mine corresponds to America Australia Samsung P1000 Firmwares.
What I would do if I were in your situation, I would try to flash version P1000XXJMQ. By mistake I installed it on my device and it never worked because mine is from a different region but I was able to bring it to the correct firmware..
Go ahead and try it. Just make sure you know how to flash with odin, have a full battery and any other questions I'll be glad to see if I can be of any help to you.
By the way, your device appears to be from network carrier Play and from region Poland. You can confirm here samsunglettercode.htm in the site I mentioned earlier.
Good luck!

Long time reader, First time poster.
I know that i am going to get bashed for starting a thread on a topic with past posts but please hear me out because this situation is a little different...
I Had a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant which i destroyed internally by going from a rooted 2.3 Android then stuck in Download mode then restored to factory settings with Android 2.1 then tried to upgrade to standard 2.2 with Kies, fried the internals...
I found someone selling a Bell Galaxy S with a broken screen so i had a guy transplant the motherboard from the Bell Galaxy S into the shell of a T-Mobile Galaxy S. It worked! Fully working phone and functional...
But then I installed ROM Manager from Android Market and did the ClockWorkModRecovery with the recovery for the Bell Galaxy (as according to the CynogenMod wiki)
A package unloaded, the phone restarted, then it showed recovery. The VOL+/- and Power combo does not work because according to some forum posts the Bell version uses the home button to select...which the T-mobile Galaxy does not have.
So now i am stuck in Recovery Mode with no escape. I ordered a samsung JIG off ebay and am waiting for it but i am concerned about how i can restore this phone into a standard Factory fresh android (for which i promise to never root this phone again because it seems to be cursed!)
I know from the past that before i messed up the original T-mobile Galaxy S, one time i had it in Download Mode then i used Odin 1.3 and a factory fresh file to have it restored back to its original state. Does the bell samsung galaxy have a similar file like the Vibrant?
When a bell motherboard is inserted into a T-mobile sell, is the phone for all intents and purposes a Bell Galaxy? I am guessing the answer is yes but i could be wrong...
Thanks for the help, Appreciate It.
I would install another rom and official ROM Gvshym Van Galaxy Note 16 GB Ram Kastvm is telling me I had to install the recovery. Then introduced me to a file that the kernel ROM Kastvm PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSA-DBT-3.99.tar now when When I installed it with Edin written into a notebook Samsung Glsy yellow triangle come together. I'm going to install the kernel and reboot the Ramo was stuck on the Samsung HP. What do I do? I have a different Edin. Way I Restore backup from previous rom up something that I was not stuck on the Galaxy Note. Did work without a box?
