Can't update to 2.2 due "Device Version Cannot Be Updated" message

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi
I have am in the UK and have a UK unbranded and stock SIMFREE SGS. I'm just tring to install Froyo but keep getting the message "The device's version cannot be updated."
I applied RyanZA's One Click Lag Fix a while ago which worked fine and more recently tried updating the registry hack a couple of weeks ago.
Currently the latest Kies xxxx100 says:
Current Version: PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1
I never managed to complete the hack despite adjusting the PC's registry initially to the Scandi version.
My registry editor reads -
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDXEU
Software Revision: I9000XWJM2/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2
HIDSWVER: I9000XWJM2/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2
I believe I uninstalled all the OCLF tools and then uninstalled the OCLF program itself.
Am I missing something?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. (also posted on Android Forums)

Got the same problem... yesterday used dakine method [ sorry can't give link i'm new user >< ] , and today Kies updated but can't update Phone... The reason i think is PDA JM2 version cause PHONE got JM1 and CSC too..

I had same message before i updated Kies to latest version.. after that i got back standart "latest fw version" message
Everytime i had this "cannot update" message.. there was kies update

My script checking firmware stopped working as well. That's because Samsung changed their protocol. That way applications using old protocol can not see updates. You need to have the newest Kies (assuming it's available in your country).

I'm pretty convinced it was the reg hack that never actually worked at play. Can I change it back to my original UK simfree settings as this would be an odler version of firmware than on the phone? If so, what are the settings, as I was originally on JF3?

In case it does, just close Kies, remove all entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/ and start Kies again.

I had the same issue coz my CSC was TMU despite my PC being I9000HDKXEU.
The only branding on my phone was the CSC as it was the first batch from T-Mobile. After a quick downgrade of Kies and a req hack I got the update.
I updated Kies again and now it shows I have the latest update So all updates from now on will not require the hack.
Happy Days

Agreed. To follow up, did the downgrade and reinstalled older Kies. Changed the registry settings and let Kies do its stuff. About 30 mins later, Froyo successfully installed.
Thanks for help guys.

mine says cannot be updated. i've never had any reg hack (and i don't want any) a my fw is JM8. should i downgrade to JM1? my product code is GT-I9000HKDXEZ

I downgraded to official jm1 and was then able to upgrade via kies.

DAMN...... Just tried to update the phone is not responding.
Kies downloaded the update and started to do the Upgrade.
It got about 5% (looking at the bar) into the update when it froze... The phone switched off, the bars not moved and it's been like that for the past 30mins.
HELPPPP.

OTA update

Just for the fun of it does anyone out there with the confidence and ability to flash JPX want to try and see if the OTA update works and offers the JPY released today?

I was on jpx no ota so used Odin to flash jpy

not sure what you mean i am on jpy and tried to signup an account for ota.. but registration fails.

My account I signed up to on the PC and it works fine checks and says no update available as I had already updated to JPY with Kies. @got-petrol was JPY officially available then without hack as it is now?

please provide link to sign up on pc.. .i only tried on the phone.

This is where I originally registered but as you will see it has now changed
http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk
to
http://www.samsung.com /yourcountrycode
Just noticed something odd. The Login/register button does not show at the bottom of the IE window but does show on Firefox. Not sure why.

thanks you are right.. already had samsung account here in the. us. had to figure out pwd.. when i put acct in in the phone.. it did connect.. checked for update (i am on jpy) and said no update avail.
guess they havent implement the registration portion of the phone app yet.. but it is cool that the check worked.. i am with you now.. wonder if the upgrade would really be found and work?

@ Tehpriest it says on here that jpy has been released through kies with no hacks to xeu and cpw but i can use kies because of this when i installed it on my new pc windows 7 64 bit when i start kies i get a 20 boxers fsusbservice64 coming up with service initiali failed and i have to keep clicking yes to truten,inc it worked ok on my windows 7 32 bit pc what a pile of crap

Sorry. Not sure you understood the question. It was a test to see if the OTA is working. To do this someone would need JPX on thier phone as this is the first with the OTA option and as JPY is now officially released and if they have the XEU product code they should, if it has gone live, get an update notification. Then all with Kies problems will be able to forget Kies from JPX on :-D

I had JPX on GT-I9000HKDXEU and OTA just reported no update - had to use kies to update to JPY.
Cheers
Spen

I m on JPX and KOR code at the moment,checked the OTA ast night,i did manage to comunicate with the server,but no update was found...

I see a gap in my logic here. If it behaves like Kies then the phone would not only need to be XEU but would also need to have an officially released firmware (JPO) prior to the newest (JPY) for it to offer the update. So we will have to wait for JPQ now then I suppose.

Kies update available ... ..

Currently updating my kies ... really hoping to see a gingerbread update available after the update . .. so fingers crossed 51457kb kies update size (ver 2.0.0.11032_12 )

Keep us updated!

bummer ... ... ..
No firmware update available .. ... come on samsung, even the kies is updated now

You wont get an update before 2.3 is released that version of Kies is not new .

You are not alone I have been facing the same problem with updating kies.
Mine reports the update, downloads it 100% but download bar still reportsas 40% & then says internet connection lost want to retry?
I say yes! does the same looping over & over again. I have downloaded over 3-4 gb in name of kies update but it has never updated.
The most messed up program I have ever used is Kies, seems some dumb guys are developing this who do not even understand how computer works.
The solution would be not to update instead download the new version> uninstall the old version & install the newer version.
The screenshot shows it already has downloaded twice the amount of data what the update size is.

This seems to be a higher version than what kies is officially reporting as update v2.0.0.11032_12
The link you provided is downloading Kies_2.0.0.11033_25
Is it ok to install with I9003, hope nothing goes wrong further as i am already fed up with this stupid software.

Uninstalled the older version & reinstalled the new version all seems to be working till now, its reporting me a new Firmware update & I will try updating it too but I hope it doesn't loop again & again as it was doing last time.

_12 is actually newer than _25. _25-January build. _12=February build.

Though I don't understand the logic of numbering If its so where can I download the latest v2.0.0.11032_12 build?
I wish samsung thinks about giving some steam lined info on these updates.

Again its updated to newer version, No problem go ahead and install the version. I myself using with i9000 & my younger brother 9003 works perfect.

Here i get 32_12 as new version - update date from today (2011-03-28).

I was having the same problem with kies saying it had lost connection so i turned off my kaspersky internet security and then install the kies update

This version of the device cannot be updated.

Everything was fine until I updated to KE2 via Kies. Now whenever I connect my phone to Kies I get this message:
This version of the device cannot be updated.
Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
I have an unbranded, UK Samsung Galaxy S II from buymobilephones.net. I have not rooted or installed any custom ROMs.
I'm using the latest UK version of Kies.
Any idea what the problem is here? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers and Kies several times. I was not getting this message a few days ago.

Kies is probably confused because they rolled back and removed the KE2 update from the servers so as far as kies is concerned you are using a rom version that doesn't exist yet. I imagine once they release KE3 in the next couple of days Kies will return to normal.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

Kies says this device cannot be updated = their is NO UPDATE for this device you are already running the latest firmware .
KE2 is the last update so their is no update for your phone .

Not always as simple as that, when kies says "your device cannot be updated" its can be because it doesn't recognise your software version, this can happen when its been pulled from samsungs severs, you have flashed firmware that doesn't match you're csc or you're running a custom rom. Normally when you're running the current official firmware it will show you both your firmware and samsungs as the most recent. If samsung have pulled the latest update it will say you device can not be updated insted of saying you're on the latest version, we will just have to wait for a new update.

Yes thats true but in the users post he showed the latest firmware installed .
Plus i have already had one user posting today that i was wrong when i said much as you just said and with PC Hardware IF etc that do not match what's on the server .
About time Samsung gave Kies to a grown up developer anyway .

My post was because you replied to someone stating that they would no longer be able to update their phone ever again. That is simply not true.

Official ROM availibility question + differences [SGS II]

Yesterday I've updated mu phone soft, but the newest version KIES found was i9100XXKE4 - looks like it's not the newest one (should be WEK4, dated on 25.05.2011). Does anyone know why KIES didn't show newer version and when it will be availible for my phone?
Best Regards, Jack

When the phone provider or network upgrade the firmware you get the upgrade from Kies . Phones product code determines the firmware .

I know it, but from what I know my phones wasn't from any phone carrier, it's a stock one, bought in a shop. Is it any way to determine is it stock phone (by serial number, by rom number) or bought from the carrier (mayby I'm wrong about it's origin)...

Answer is because KE4 is the latest available Polish firmware.

Ok, that should be an answer. But the question is, how long do You think it take Samsung to make latest rom availible for Poland?

Unknown... Nobody knows. TBH I'd use the standard "UK" or Europe one that is updated fastest on...

Ok, but how, if the KIES don't see any newer ones? If I change language in the phone, will it work? Are there any other options, that are recognized by KIES to determine my location, thus blocking newest software update? Some time ago I used KIES Registry editor when wanted to update my wife's Samsung Wave (S8500) to bada 1.2, but it was differernt (older) KIES and different system (bada).

Kies takes Product Code and a few other codes matches them to that specific firmware on the server for those codes .
I have never ever on SGS 1 or 2 managed to update firmware via Kies once stock rom flashed .

From the linked threat I can confirm, that my phone was unbranded - I had XKE2 and could update only to KE4. Looks like there is nothing more for me to do except: waiting for update via KIES or risk update by Odin. Tough choice for me...
