Serious Problem

Hi everyone this is my third thread today and Im going outta my mind!!!
Whatever firmware I flash Kies doesnt allow me to restore my firmware to what it was!!!!!!!! It also says that this deviceversion cannot be updated anymore just like someone else mentioned on the forum.
Can anyone help me please!!

What firmware are you trying to flash? Kies is only for official updates. You must use Odin to flash other/beta firmwares.
read the faq thread in the development section.

right now jf3 as someone stated thats the stock one, but i want to go back to the stock one and let KIES do the updates how am I able to do this?

Anybody???

you will have to use Odin, or ROM Manager to install previous version of the ROMs
you can not use Kies to restore back to original ROM

But if i flash the original firmware will I then be able to use Kies again or will I never be able to use Kies to update?

Use Odin to flash back to JF3 then Kies should be able to handle official updates from then on.

I did that it still says that the phone is not able to be updated anymore I think because I really need the dutch firmware

If you flash back to JF3 you would still get that he can't upgrade the phone. I got that message also when I was back on the stock-rom.
There is no official dutch update after JF3. So you allway get that he can't upgrade the phone.
I think/hope that the new Frodo update you can install with KIES. But can't be sure until there is a new update in KIES.

Im about to cry right now is there no system recovery?

About to cry?? What is the problem? If you are in holland there is no official update available. Use odin if you want to flash newer firmware or wait till september.

Man what the hell is wrong anyway? Kies will ALWAYS show that message untill Samsung releases an official update... There is nothing to update so obviously Kies will tell you that there is nothing to update! Obviously. Only in September we will see official updates... Wait untill then...

No you dont get it, it doesnt say theres no update available, it says the phone cant be updated anymore... when I hadnt flashed it said theres no new update available...

[Q] Kies update problems

I get this message while in Kies
"This Device's version cannot be updated"
I have the I5801 with Orange network, i flashed the firmware to
InDroid v2.0 XXJPL Final Version (rudolf895) Also a great Rom
Been a noob i never made a backup of the old firmware Is that just a standard message? "This Device's version cannot be updated"
If not, how do i get Kies to work with the phone again?
With the 2.2 firmware coming soon i would like to try it
Thanks for any help

That is the message you get when there is no update available for download. I don't think Samsung has released Froyo update for UK yet..so you need to wait I guess..
When the update is released officially, you will first need to download your original ROM from samfirmware.com, flash it to replace your custom ROM & then Kies will upgrade the ROM with official version.

[Q] What is my firmware?

HI! I'm a noob . I want to flash a custom froyo rom, im tired of waiting for official kies update. So I need the original firmware from samfirmware.com incase something goes wrong or i want to update via kies, the problem is i don't know witch one to download. I'm from Europe, Croatia, bought my phone in T-mobile, went to service store and removed sim lock.
This is what my phone says:
Firmware version
2.1-update 1
Basic version
I5800XXJG3
Kernel
2.6.29 root
Version number
ECLAIR.XXJG7
on samfirmware there is I5800XWJG3 and I5800XWJG7

official froyo rom was released in india a few days back.
you can download it from samfirmware and flash it with odin
firmware is i5801DDJP2

its not the point in the official froyo or any newer firmware. the point is my original eclair firmware, so when i need i can get back to ir

oh i misunderstood your question. sorry i have no idea about that

I5800XXJG7 is your firmware i think
To make sure: call to *#1234#. And look at pda

Need help with upgrading to 2.3/2.3

Hi first of all I want to say that i know there is a lot of threads about this but there are so many that i don´t know what to do any further so I am starting a new thread.
I have a galaxy S and wanted to update from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 but i have been waiting and waiting and Kies always says there are not other updates.
I tried a older verision and the newest one but Kies still doesn´t let me upgrade.
Ive read a lot of threads and saw that it seems like the only way is to do it by using Odin. I read a bite in the big thread about this but i was thinking about one thing and that was if there is any better verision of flash now when android 2.2 has been out for so long? Could anyone please link me to wich files is at the moment best to use for upgradring to 2.2.
My other question is can i go from 2.1 to 2.3 directly or will this cause some problems? Is 2.3 officialy out or only in beta?
I have a swedish samsung galaxy S and verision PDA JM2 /PHONE JM1 and its not rooted. Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks a lot for the answers.

I suggest you wait Kies should soon have the official 2.3.3 firmware update .
That dont appear you can try alternative methods .

Hi in the FAQ u linked it´s a lot of info but nothing that i am searching for.
I really don´t believe in kies anymore because that program is the worst thing made.
Is there any realease date for the new KIES and has it been said that its going to fix bugs that prevents people from upgradring to 2.2?
I am thinking about going for darkys room for gingerbread verision but i don´t know if i can still be on 2.1 verision to upgrade to the newest verision.
Can also anyone answer on this question.. under programverision in the menu it says [email protected] what does that mean? Does it have anything to do with it being a swedish verision?

2.3.3 is not released so Kies cannot update something that does not exist on its servers .
Current methods of updating to unofficial 2.3.3 are all over the forum update via Odin non official firmware .
I am thinking about going for darkys room for gingerbread verision but i don´t know if i can still be on 2.1 verision to upgrade to the newest verision.
need to ask in Darky posts not something i would know about .
Better roms on this forum i use look at devs section .

back to stock

Hi
I was on darky's rom 10.2 but i couldn't get along with that battery issue gingerbread has it and also wanted to go back to stock froyo. I flashed eclair XWJM7 (i read somwhere that is better to flash eclair first) in order to update through kies to FROYO. But when i connect to kies (it's the latest update) it says that "this version cannot be updated". I am from Romania and my network is Orange. I just want to have my phone back as it was when i bought it.
current firmware version: PDA:JM7 / PHONE:JM3 / CSC:JM1 (XEN)
please someone help me and thanks in advance

probably better to just flash the stock version your phone came with. then update from there.

k......only if i knew what stock version my phone came with. all that i know is that it was eclair.
