New(er) Kies update available

Just got another update. I was on kies 1.5.3.10093-80 so I am not sure yet what this one is.
Edit: kies 1.5.3.10093-81

I'm on 1.5.3.10093-80 and have no update.
Maybe Froyo is actually ready, but it's kies which is holding up the release...

Have you done a manual check for update in the Kies menu (not the widgets at the bottom) ?

it's come up now

next thing samsung should do is fix their horrible kies software... it hasnt been detecting my device at all after the last update. ugh

I have lag fix. Can I update it even my lag fix is still in my phone? Or I should not?

You dont need phone connected if you update Kies.

It's more than likely to be a small fix that fixes the registy key error on the previous version ending in 80.
That stopped kies working properly 64bit win 7

Did it? I never noticed it not working

I tried to update from the website but I can only seem to update via the updater in Kies. Downloading via updater now. Hope it works!
EDIT: It worked. had to do it to make sure there were no new builds of JH2 for bell tech support.

It's another large(ish) update, thousands of files again, hardly a registry fix.
When you click the close cross top right, or 'cancel' to close the firmware update check after it reports nothing new found. "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe" starts gobbling up ram like there is no tomorrow (over 1gb by the time I find it to kill it) and my system becomes basically unusable until I kill the samsung "devicemanager.exe" and "connectionmanager.exe" and wait a few minutes.
This problem only started with 1.5.3.10093-80, and 1.5.3.10093-81 doesn't change it at all. (win7-x64)

I keep getting 'The internet is not connected' message in the update procedure
I'll probably have to stay up all night, clicking retry

I had that once, it made me laugh as its phrasing implied it was something wrong my end though I was browsing the web just fine and spectating a live game with plenty of bandwidth to spare.
clicking retry worked first time for me though.

Yes, not fixed even in 81 and applies also to Win7-x32. Manually add .../FUS registry key solve the problem.

I get checking updates stuck on there all day. almost I left it on overnight and it just keeps saying checking updates. I went here http://au.samsungmobile.com/support/softwaremanuals/software.do?phone_model=GT-I9000&sw_type=SW and it's still only has 1.5.1_1083. Dam blasted aussie site you think we would be so upto date yet I feel like such a backwards country sometimes.

I've been on v10093_31_1, it didn't offer me an update. Uninstalled and manually downloaded v10093_80, installed it, then it was checking for updates for about an hour. Found one, but gave me at least 50 warnings about 'no internet connection' although the internet was working fine all the time, then it finally upgraded.
I have no problems with connecting the phone to Kies on W7 64bit whatsoever.
edit:
never had any problems with 'MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe' either, through update widget in Kies or executed manually.

Yes not sure why Samsung Australia Support is still pushing the older version unless the versions relate to the builds in some way.
Hell we are still running JG4 Firmware as a release well behind the rest of the world.
Have installed 1.5.3.10093_1_1 from the UK site and it was snappy to say the least.
Currently downloading 1.5.3.10093_80 from the UK. Will check the update options after install.

this is another link to the download(it's a release from 6 october):
Kies_1.5.3.10093_80

OTA question

sorry for starting a new thread on this. but i tried reading all OTA threads and still confuse
so the new update is the gingerbread? i thought ginger bread is 2.3 ?
also besides wifi calling and tethering, what else is added after the update?
thank you
again, sorry for my noobness

Gingerbread hasn't been released yet. It was rumored to be release with the nexus "n" from samsung. This update included a new radio for better connection, wifi calling, wifi tethering, and a couple of bugs such as no lock screen noise.

The OTA isn't Gingerbread. It's Froyo.Sprinkles.

thank you for the replies.. its because ive been hearing about gingerbread so i thought that was the update.
thanks!

Opps...its not 2.3 yes and it brings everything stated above, but I believe it fixed the random reboot problem also...I work in a building where I get up to only 2 bars of reception if that and my G2 would constantly reboot all day but today I did not have 1 reboot...we'll see how it goes these next few days...

You could 'try' going to your phones dialpad and entering *#*#2432546#*#* and see if it offers it again, or shows up under about phone - system updates.
If not, then you may want to install it manually. There are plenty of good instructions all over this board and the web on how to do that.

What exactly does putting that in the dial pad do? My update also disappeared and when I click those numbers it says Checkin succeeded. I go to phone and system updates and it says my phone is up to date -_-
I noticed when I check under build number it says 1.19.531.1
Should I just try to do a manual update?

Yeah if the checkin doesn't work then do the manual update.
The checkin basically asks Google servers if there are any updates pending for your phone. But they set lists and if you are not on it at the time it won't offer the update.
I did the manual update and it worked just fine. Was easy and didn't take long. Just make sure not to mess with your phone while it is updating. Some people see the green update screen and pull battery after a few mins.

Official Three Froyo is a Bust

So, finally three released froyo for the loyal (stupid) three customers who didn't want to root their phone.
And we all eagerly plugged into kies and clicked the download button.
Binaries are downloaded
The yellow android guy appears on the phone and ......... "An unexpected error has occurred whilst upgrading the firmware"
Prompting you into recovery mode where nothing happens.
Fortunately rebooting the phone provides 2.1 again.
I have factory reset the phone and it still doesnt work.
In recovery I see the following error
Copy multi_carrier from h3g
Multicsc : can not access to /system/csc/H3G/system/
Copy_common_data
So three have no ideas, and we get fobbed off with excuses - does anyone know what the message above means?

At least your getting a chance to upgrade.Mines says device cversion cannot be updated

I don't know what's worse, no froyo, or the promise of froyo that stops just after it starts

It seems people are getting the update by repeatedly clicking on the update firmware button, but still hit and miss

Not so much hit and miss anymore I think. Just got Froyo on my handset. It seems the Crypto problem was solved a couple of hours ago. Not a hitch while I updated, took a while to download the binaries though. So far all I can say is that I like Froyo better than Eclair. However, getting the bug with the Contacts quick browse alphabet on the side not displaying letters I have contacts with

Finally the error have been fixed...
I have updated my mobile to Froyo, but, it seems my phone become more lagging than in Eclair... One time my phone hang when I want to add a widget in my phone. It is weird....At that time I need to switch off and on the phone again which take quite a long time...
The interface on Froyo is a lot better than eclairs...It seems the GPS is more accurate than in Eclair....
Any comment on the lagging of the Froyo on Three or anybody get the phone hang?

KF3 Firmware out on KIES

I am not sure if there is a thread already out for this as i couldn't find one on search.
I am a SGS II user in India and i just got a KIES notice that a firmware upgrade is available to KF3.
Is this the same one as what was release on samfirware?

i jus tried updating my SGS II to KF3 via KIES it downloaded the update and after decryption of binary data the mobile display is staying on the green android logo and below it downloading ...
WHt do i do .. pls help

The update process gets stuck if KIES is not able to connect to your phone properly. Usually this ends with a popup message saying Update mode couldn't be activated or something like that.
If you do find a blue progress bar increasing slowly below the green android then all is fine, just wait. But if The process is stuck at 0% or an error comes up. Then you can try again by doing a hard reset of your phone and trying to run the update process again. Do not use the recover firmware option in Kies at this moment. The hard reset is necessary as third party launchers and other apps sometimes interfere in the connection to Kies.
To, get out of the green Android download screen and do whatever is stated above, simply remove the battery briefly and start your phone again.
Hope this was helpful. The information i provided is just based on my experience, correct me if i am wrong...

Thanks for your feedback. But what do you mean by No.3, Lock Screen wake up lag seems to have come in? It was there in KE8 also.
And can you test if the Noise Cancellation On/Off option is included while pressing the Menu key in a voice call? It is not here in KE8.

Yuppp, I know many people faced the lock screen lag issue even in KE8/KE7 but mysteriously, I never had the issue! Where as in KF3, I now get a delay even though its just a couple of seconds.
As for the noise cancellation option during the call, both, the call screen icon as well as the menu option are still absent. :-(

I got the automatic system update notification for ics!

it downloaded the file, verified it, said it was going to reboot in 10, 9, 8, 7.. then said your system is up to date!?
Only thing I can think of is it aborted due to battery level?
B

exactly the same! What to do? dont want to wait for days again!

I've assumed it's battery and am charging now.. anyone else know what's going on?

The same issue with me...Don't have a clue what to do..

i9023? mines not rooted or anything "custom"

Me too! I just received the OTA notification, made a backup and clicked update.
Downloaded the 128mb file, file check was ok, pushed "restart and install" and instead it said that system is updated. Any help?
No root, stock 2.3.6, i9023

same here, my phone was on charge btw..

Anyone found a resolution for this yet? Received another OTA download?
Mine was on about 45% when I got OTA, plugged it in to my comp USB port before download started but still disappeared on countdown as well

not received another notification, how rubbish eh! maybe they somehow "pulled it" before it could damage something? dunno. I'm sure someone clued up might add something helpful.

This bug is so annoying, it was soo close!! Still haven't found anything about it on here or other sites, and still no new OTA message

Same here,
Just got the update OTA...finished downloading and began counting down for the restart. At 8 secs remaining it switched to saying "your system is currently up to date". I tried restarting with no luck!
WTF!!
I hope it comes back!

I have still recieved nothing! How long would it take? I have a normal nexus s, unbranded unrooted and all that stuff...

If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn't currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback. The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it's available again in your region.
5 of 10 people found this answer helpful. Did you? YesNo Report abuse

That doesn't really address, RECEIVING, downloading, verifying and "ok'ing" the update, only for nothing to happen. V odd.

Same here..

Why don't, all of you, flash it manually? It's exact same as receiving the update ota.

I'm a new user so I can't attach link but if you go to the Google Mobile Help Forum you can see a thread, started by a user called Fozan, reporting the same issue.
Maybe it's better if you all report the problem there as well so Google can understand that we are a lot!
