[Q] help please with firmware update

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?

[Q] Kies usage problems (The device is in use)

Hi,
I've installed the lates Kies (1.5.3.10093_80) and have three problems:
1) When i try to update Kies to 81 release it doesn't want to find any updates. I tried two ways: from Kies application and manually start MCS.Thunder.Update.exe. From Kies it never finds any updates and MCS.Thunder.Update.exe crashes after some time before it find anything to update
2) Phone connects to the PC fine and i can see it in Kies, but i can't do anything, browse contacts or calendar. When i try to save contacts on PC i receive "The device is in use. Stop using the device then try again". I tried to find any application on PC which can use it without any success.
3) On home notebook Kies finds phone OK but at work it is endlessly says: Connecting to the phone. I've already tried to change COM port number, settings for USB connection ... nothing helps.
Any ideas?
PS All device drivers seems to be installed OK
I have exactly the same problem as you mentioned under point 2. Same holds for the agenda by the way.
I just updated to 93-81 (automatically via KIES)
Does anyone have a solution?
Me too having this problem...
Same issues for me. I've just discovered Android Manager Wifi which gives all we need to save and restore contacts. Nice to use until Kies issues are resolved.
All of these issues are well known and almost everyone is having them. There was a standalone massive thread about Samsung Kies and its issues, but I can't find it. You need to get used to it - usually im my case the Mass Storage is activated after restarting my phone. As I use tethering rather often, I usually have to try connecting and disconnecting the phone several times until I'm lucky.
When it comes to Kies update itself, that is another disaster - I usually try it on different networks - if it can't find updates at home and I know there is one, I just go and try it at the university wifi. The same with firmware updates, etc.
I undo the oneclick lag fix v 2.1.2 by ryanza and it works like a charm now
thnak you very much nick_goh!
Thats was it. Undo OCLF and Kies starts working as it should.
Lagfix is the problem
Yes, the lagfix is the problem, but who can fix the lag fix or the kies!?
laffix
What if you are experiencing that same "Device is in use" issue but did NOT ever install the lagfix ?
Unless theres something that went on in rooting your phone as that is the only non-factory thing that I ever did!
I already installed several apps to try to find the culprit that might be causing this but no luck. I'm almost considering going back to factory and re-installing all samsung updates from scratch on. ....unless there is another way

[Q] Headphones correctly detected only first time after boot, not detected after that

I am experiencing headphones detection problem with my Xperia Z1. Headphones are correctly detected first time after reboot. If I try to plug them in after that phone doesn't detect them any more (external speaker is used even after I've plugged them in).
I contacted Sony support and they suggested it might be Smart connect. I cleared it's cache. Didn't help. I disabled/removed it. Didn't help either. I downgraded to an older ROM (don't remember if it was 4.2 or 4.3) and it worked as expected. Then I downloaded fresh .ftf of latest rom. Same problem re-appeared. Tried with Kit Slim custom ROM (based on 4.4) and experienced same problem.
It is obviously a SW problem. Is there any app which would allow me to manually direct sound to either destination? I have SSH server running on my phone. Is there any way to do this via shell? Any API call that I could utilize? I have no experience with Android dev but I am SW engineer and I think I could implement a simple app like this if someone would point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
it's definitely something with smart connect. had the same issue some days ago...... unistalled smart connects updates and installed them again -> works!
Tried that already. Didn't help
I contacted Sony support again and they suggested to try PC Companion's repair feature. What will that do? How that relates to the fact I'm running a rooted custom kernel?
Thank you!
hm try to flash .157 with flashtool. after that flash trinity kernel via flashtool and fastboot -> should work like charm dont forger to save your data before that I did the same and it worked for me
Where could I download that?

Samsung SM-T813 FRP Locked WiFi Switch Greyed Out

Hi,
First, I want to say that I have been looking though many threads with similar problems but I have not found any that have worked for me. If someone could point me to the thread that will solve this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
So my situation is that tablet boots to the "Welcome! Start >" screen and when I hit Start it says "An unauthorized attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity." When I move the WiFi switch to "ON" it immediately goes back to "OFF".
I would like to find a way to enable the WiFi so I can enter my credentials but so far all my attempts have failed.
I am running
SAMSUNG/GTS210VEWIFIXX/GS210VEWIFI
6.0.1/MMB29M/T813XXU2APJ1
MMB29M.T813XXU2APJ1
Any attempts to downgrade to T813XXU1APF4_T813XAR1APF1_HOME.tar.md5 in ODIN v3.13 have resulted in [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
Any suggestions to get my tablet up and running again would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
After installing COMBINATION_OXA_FA60_T813XXU2API1_OXAFAC_CL7807521_BoxWares.tar.md5, enabling USB debugging, and then installing stock ROM T813XXU2APJ1_T813XAR2APJ1_HOME.tar.md5 I was able to boot to the home screen and login as a guest.
However, in guest mode I cannot enable the Wifi or Bluetooth switches to ON. They just go back to OFF.
I also cannot enable Wifi as Owner so I can enter my login information.
If anyone has any ideas on how to turn Wifi back on I would greatly appreciate the help.

Reinstall the combo firmware then enter settings and factory reset.
Reinstall stock firmware.
I reinstalled the Combo Firmware, did a factory reset from settings, and reinstalled the Stock ROM but the WIFI & Bluetooth will still not enable.
I am waiting to for some other versions of Stock ROM to download and then install to see if it makes any difference.

Are you flashing the WHOLE firmware?
The full firmware I have tried installing so far I have gotten from Updato: T813XXU2APJ1_T813XAR2APJ1_HOME.tar.md5, T813XXU2APK6_T813XAR2APK6_HOME.tar.md5, & T813XXU2BQD1_T813XAR2BQD1_HOME.tar.md5 which was the firmware I had updated to before downgrading to APJ1.
The tablet has only been used a couple of times so I find it hard to believe the chip is damaged. I bought it as an open box from a retailer with no signs of use.
It was after I did a FRP when I couldn't remember my password when all the trouble started.
Is there some firmware that consists of BL, AP, CSC files that is used during factory setup that I can install?

I appreciate your help but nothing I do will apparently get the Wi-Fi working again.
I am giving up for now and am considering replacing the motherboard.
