I have a couple of questions.
1, I have an update ready through kies & the build code is CSC:MJ1, Does anyone know if this is still 4.1.2 if so whats new?
2, I am struggling to get the update as when I try OTA it tells me that access to the update server is given in the order that its requested. Try later.
If I try through kies it downloads the components for the update, once that is done kies just shuts down ¬hing else happens. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,
New to android phones was a sheep and had an iphone before. After reading how to get kies to work I have finally got the phone connect and kies is telling me that there is a firmware update available. However as soon as I click update and select the phone for it to upgrade it simply says that it can not complete the firmware update. Can anyone help me please or tell me of an easy way to get the update onto the phone.
cheers
Matt
You just got your phone connected to kies right and nothing else?
yeah it is only connected to kies but is still online as well do i need to put it in flight mode or such like
is wifi on if so disconnect wifi and unplug and replug the phone.
everything is off wifi and network still won't do it kies just says firmware update can not be completed have backed up everything off my phone and restored it to factory and then tried this and no joy
in kies there is a driver recovery option on the top left menu run that then unplug and plug in again
now getting a little further it starts to get into the downloading bit but then says msc.thunder.firmwareupdate has stopped working and closes. Any ideas how to sort this
i am also having this same message, anyone know the reason for this?

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.
I've been wanting to upgrade my Gear to Tizen ever since I heard it was coming out. May 30th comes and goes and it seems that every country in the world except the US received the update via Samsung themselves. Fast-forward a month and a half and I'm getting impatient.
I have a Mac. I downloaded the BTU firmware from SamMobile.com. I tried flashing the update using Heimdall without any luck. I decided to use my mom's PC to try flashing it via Odin (using v3.09, if it's relevant), except because I'm so used to Mac, I didn't think to update her USB drivers. Needless to say, things didn't go smoothly.
Now, I'm stuck with a Gear that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Kies is stupid and won't give a stock recovery unless Kies itself tried installing the upgrade.
So, how do I get my Gear working again? At this point, I'd just like my Gear to be functional again and I appreciate all help anyone can give, though if anyone can help me out with getting the Tizen update as well, that'd be great.
EDIT: Read the rules, did a search. Seems the problem could be that I used a NL1 ROM instead of an NE9. I'll try that again when the file downloads. Now, my bigger question is, do I need to go through any recovery procedures before trying again?
EDIT 2: Looks like the NE9 ROM did the trick. Sorry for wasting anyone's time. That said, all of SamMobile's firmwares for the Gear are NL1, so anyone else looking to update, be sure to find a NE9 ROM.
Just got this phone brand new from Microcenter for the in-laws so don't want to root it and what not. When I try to run the update, all I get is:
Failed to update. An unspecified error has occurred
Please try again later
Phone is currently on Android 4.0.4 Blur_Version.77.10.16.MB886.ATT.en.US
Ideas? Any way to run the update off my PC or is OTA the only way?
I have the same error when trying to OTA update my Motorola Xoom 2...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
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:
