[Q] Kies "This version cannot be updated"; Telstra-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7in ABANDONED?

[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.

did anyone find out how to upgrade to 2.3 on telstras galaxy tab??? please let me know. or post a link if already has been discussed in detail

Yep
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
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?

[Q] trouble with my Sasktel Galaxy S

I tried to use ROM manager to update my rom to overstock, this did not work so well. It installed fine but then the battery refused to charge and all sorts of wierd problems so I used my backup to uninstall and that failed. I downloaded Odin3 v1.7 and downloaded the original stock firmware(eclair) and that failed. I then used UGJH2 and the phone will boot and see the galaxy s load but then the screen goes blank and vibrates periodically. in the recovery (3e) it says Can't mount /dev/block/st110. The last official firmware install was KC1 through kies but I can't find that anywhere is there any hope for this(sweating cause wife might find out)

I am also on sasktel and am an impulsive flasher (1-5 times daily) Heres an easy, fast fix. GO here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-rc5-easy.2382/
go to section enabled "For GT-I9000 users only" and follow step by step. You can stop at step 2 if you want to leave your rom stock samsung or do last few steps to have darkys on there. EIther way once done you'll also have to enable the 850 band *#2263# then enable wcdma 850 option. Also you will have to manually enter your APN under network options. I use inet.stm.sk.ca for sasktel. Note that the Ficeto_JVB.zip download there includes all needed to flash (.pit file, rom, odin). THis is always my fail safe method after boot loops ( I always screw something up playing around lol).
ps: also depending how desperate you are and how trusting you are, I work at sasktels head office in the cornwall and if you wish I am sure I could take 15 mins out of my day tomorrow to do this for you, although you will not be able to get through security so you will have to trust me taking off with your phone lol. email me at [email protected] if needed.

trouble is I can't put things on SD card because I can't get it to load android

You won't be able to load eclair through Odin because JL2 installed a new SBL (secondary boot loader). Go to samfirmware.com, download JL2, and use odin to flash that. Once that's flashed it should fix your issues. Then, if you want a custom ROM, try the romkitchen (romkitchen.org).

problem solved!! turns out darkyrom did fix my phone, I couldn't push the zip file to my phone but their tar file got my phone working! Thanks for all the help

I loled, I've been in the same boat, wife is always asking me why I always have to mess around with stuff. Shoulda seen her face after I soft bricked the phone the first time.

Just rooted my phone
I am new to this, I can do all kinda of things with my pc but with my phone a different story lol. I don't understand when you say "Eclair". Is that a different model or is that stock. I am too from sasktel.

Android 2.1 is Eclaire, 2.2 is Froyo and 2.3 is Gingerbread... Ice cream is next 4.0

hi guys, I know this is an old post but has anyone successfully unlocked their Sasktel i9000 vibrant without paying any unlock code service? has anyone tried anything like the SGS Unlock Pro that claimed to unlock all GSM galaxy S phones but did not list Sasktel? anyways, from the sound of it is Darky's rom currently the best for i9000's? I wanted to try CM9, so i did the super 1 click root and followed the CM wiki page to push clockwork recovery to the phone through Heimdall Suite but both times i tried failed and stuck in a boot loop so both times i ended up going through Odin to fix it. (super 1 click root didnt seem to stick b/c i lost superuser after fixing the phone w/ Odin, is that normal?)
anyways i had a very unique situation, originally had a Bell i9000m but died 1 week later tried to fix it numerous times for 7-8 months ( i live in U.S., and Sammy refuse to fix it b/c i dont have a canadian address they can send it back to b.s.) anyways finally landed myself a dead i9000m w/ broken screen, so i took both apart and put the working parts together. now 1 working phone with 3 problems: 1) so it seems that it's currently locked to Sasktel (it can be done but i'm curious if there is a cheaper way or even free) 2) CM wiki suggested Heimdall push CW recovery cause boot loop (some on xda suggested flashing the phone back to 2.2 (or 2.1??) first) 3) i was playing around and click on screen update and lose my touch keys ever since (ppl also suggest flashing it back to 2.1 and reupdate the keys, but will a bell i9000m 2.1 stock rom be compatible w/ the i9000m from Sasktel?)
anyways lots of questions there but if anyone can answer anyone of these would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Update: problem 1 is taken cared of. SGS Unlock Pro worked like a charm. tested, working. other 2 problem still unsolved.

[Q] Can not register on network problem

Since a few days it is impossible to use my Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 as a phone. Whenever i try using it, it doesnt register on the network.
I am running DarkyROM JVH v10.1 baseband version I9000XXJVO Firmware 2.3.3
If i try to register on the network is searches and searches and searches... but doesnt find anything.
What "worries" me is the fact that when i start up the phoe is tells me its a Samsung Galaxy S II, which it surely isnt!
Please advice.

There is your problem..
Re-flash stock firmware with pit and re-partition, When complete, check you can register on the network.
If so then avoid the ROM which you are currently running.
EDIT: When you say the phone says Galaxy S II, Is this not a boot animation taken from the SGS II ? Or is it the actual boot screen which says its a SGS II ?

Call me stupid ;-) but i didnt save my stock-rom....

No problem.
Head over to www.samfirmware.com and grab one from there, flash it through odin, Instructions are on that site too.

Thanks AzzleDazzle, but now comes up another problem.... Probably very basic, but for me, its all abracadabra.
I have an European Samsung Galaxy S GTi9000, but if i look at the site there are many roms u can download. From Android 2.1 to Android 2.3.4 for "my" device. Which is the one i should use? My ID is I9000XWJVH, which is according to the site an unknown H version.
Please advice once more, thanks in advance!

No worries, Make sure you download a firmware specifically for the I9000
the last 3 letters eg JVH is the firmware version, JV.X. represents gingerbread 2.3.3 and above.
Gingerbread is the latest release, so i would go for one of them, The one at the bottom of the page on samfirmware will be the very latest, Which i think is JVR
So look for I9000XXJVR.
flash that in ODIN and job done you should be back up and running and with the latest release.
The rest is upto you . i.e going to a custom ROM / rooting ect...

i feel more and more like a noob....
I started Odin, and there u can choose for the pit file, or for the pda file (which is the one i should use i guess), but also u have the choices of re-partition auto reboot and f. reset time. Which of those 3 (or non at all) i should use?

I dont know what has happened. I choose for only reboot after flashing. Flashing went okay, but now it seems to be stuck in a loop. The Galaxy S screen gets followed up by a Swisscom screen in a seemingly endless loop.
Worse, with volume down - power on i can not come in the download menu anymore...
Any advice would be much appreciated now.....
Also when trying a re-partitioning via Odin it doesnt work?
Found the solution. Using Odin 1.8 did the trick. I used Odin 1.3 which probably couldnt flash the 2.3.4, while when i tried with Odin 1.8 it worked flawlesly.
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Need an urgent help...

Hello all,
I recently bought samsung galaxy s i 9000 it was pre loaded with froyo 2.2 and when ever i connect it to kies it gets connected for the first time and then onn if i disconnect it will never get connected unless i restart the phone.. I tried to update the firmware several times and it downloads the files but gets disconnected in between. I badly wanted to change to ginger bread and just loaded with odin.. Now, I started having the real problem its getting stuck most of the times and i had to open the task manager to free the ram.
But the video player is supporting more formats and no problem connecting with kies.. and i used it for sometime. Now while hanging up a call its getting stuck frequently. And once i had to lose most of my balance.
I decided to roll back my firmware to froyo 2.2 but I came to know I might lose the warranty tampering with O.S.. Is that really so?? And I got an asian version of froyo 2.2.1 for march 2011 from one of the threads and I flashed it into my phone. Now, kies is telling that this version cannot be updated. Can some one please suggest me
1) How I can get back my official firmware...which can also support updates in kies.
2) And Is that possible to retain warranty with any firmware?
I had to spend the whole of sunday over this please suggest me...
Thank you

Go to www.samfirmware.com and register. Download the ROM you want. I'm currently using XXJVR (Android 2.3.4). It is quite stable.
Then, use Odin to flash the ROM onto your device. Make sure you backup all your important data. I recommend MyBackupPro. It's available in the Market.
Then, switch off your phone completely and put it in 'Download Mode' (Volume Down + Home + Power). Connect it to your PC. Make sure you have the drivers installed.
Follow the instructions given on the website to flash with Odin. The XXJVR ROM has only 1 tar file. So, you're gonna have to use this procedure--> http://www.samfirmware.com/Odin I9000 2.png
Best of luck! Do let us know how it goes!

New firmware From KIES

Hello everyone.
I've just purchased I9001 and the version is gingerbread 2.3.3. I have a lot of application installed. When i upgrade my KIES version to 2.1.1.11124_17, a new firmware was mentioned by KIES. This is the details:-
My current version is PDA:KG2 / PHONE:KG1 / CSC:KG2 (XME)
New version is PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KJ1 / CSC:KJ1 (XME)
If i upgrade the firmware, will i lost all my application installed?
If yes, is there any other method to back up my apps?
Attach is the picture of KIES

Don't use Kies unless you want to brick your phone.. the software sucks so hard that will almost brick your phone 100% sure. Use Odin instead and flash XXKPS (2.3.6)
But first root your phone and save /data/apps to your local drive
I think this is allot information for you if you just bought the phone but you should read the forums

You can find everything you need here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001
Go to 2.3.6 and download I9001XXKPS. You can use most of the tweaks for that.
Note: your warranty will be lost (at least formal). But its worth to do

you can find a good description how to flash a rom also here
i just installed XXKPU as described above and improved it following this post from point 3 of the step by step description on (steps 1 and 2 can be ignored due to previously mentioned description)...
my sgs+ works fine now... all apps with complete app data and settings plus market links were restored with titanium backup pro within 30 min...

make sure not to use kies ! it bricked my phone ! use odin !

Does KIES brick the SGS Plus only?
Before i started flashing roms i updated twice with kies and nothing happened ?

updating with kies is a real adventure, i tried it only once, and i was lucky it gave me an error at 0% , so i just got the battery out and all worked fine after a reboot, my friend was not that lucky, it froze on 55% and he could do nothing about it, so he had to flash a stock rom with odin to get his phone working again. i don't think it can hard brick ur phone (well the chances are little, but still possible) , mostly u can get into download mode and fix the issue, for those who don't know how, they just have to take their phone to service and claim their warranty.

But i like to know too...Is it a SGS plus thing? I have a SGS and updated 2 times my SGS, 2 times my girlfriends SGS and 1 time the SGS II of my sister. All with kies. Nothing happend.
Sooo... am i this lucky or IS it really a SGS plus thing?
Cheers

If you are not interested in exploring new ways to do things, Kies is the safest way
