Well,
I flashed my AT&T tab last month to the Eruo version. I thought I would install Kies and try and update the firmware. When I hooked up the phone and launched the firmware upgrade via Kies, I was prompted with the following message.
Mode Name: GT-P1000
Current Version: PDA:JK5/PHONE:JK3/CSC:JK5
This device's version cannot be updated.
What gives? Am I stuck with this now?
Thanks

I just received my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 today and am using it as I charge it. I dialed *#1234# to see that I have the following firmware:
PDA: I9000XXJF3
Phone: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000OXAJF3
Can someone please tell me which firmware I should be upgrading to so that I have the most recent and least laggy firmware.
Cheers
What does Kies offer you with firmware update?
Kies does not let me do an update, possibly because of my region, I'm unsure. I live in New Zealand
JM1 official seems like a good one to go for, you may with some tweaking be able to get Kies to update. See this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7807299#post7807299
So i used the ctrl+alt+u+p trick and it attempted to upgrade to JM1 but was unable to and gave me the error failed to convert to upgrade mode. do I need to boot my phone into some sort of upgrade mode or something?
I've been trying for 2 days to update to JM1, as kies said the firmware update was available for my phone.
I finally solved the "failed to convert to update mode" problem.
Basically, from what I spotted after installing and uninstalling kies a few times is that all the drivers for the phone install (modem, mass storage etc), except "usb composite device" maybe they forgot to bundle that specific drive in with kies?
Go here, download these drivers and install them. It will say they're already installed, but go ahead and install over the top.

Solved my headache!
Brought a Telstra Tab in December. Downloaded KIES 2.0 (no problems there) but now it (KIES) constantly tells me there is a firmware upgrade from PDA:JJ3 / Phone JJ3 / CSC:JJ4 [Current Firmware] to PDA:JJ4 / Phone:JJ4 / csc JJ5
When you are installing it describes the Firmware Version as 11.01.04.04
Takes forever to download, but does so and installs correctly - Tab seems to responds and restarts no problem - but when you disconnect/reconnect devices as suggested the firmware has not installed (i.e. Tab is still at PDA:JJ3 / Phone JJ3 / CSC:JJ4) and when you plug it back into KIES it advises that, yes, a firmware update is available.
Have tried three times now but no joy - does anyone else have the same experiences? Can anyone suggest a solution? I have KIES installed on a Windows 7 desktop.
When u dial *#1234#* in dialer what happens?
Dialer provides you with;
PDA: P1000TDVJJ3
PHONE: P1000TDVJJ3
CSC: P1000TTELJJ4
Just FYI have hard reset the device and tried to install upgrade with no luck. Have also contacted Samsung to see if they have any suggestions...
Thank you for your interest

Hi,
Just as an update I had done some research around KIES, The GT, and updates. Have a computer running XP at work so during my lunch break I decided to install KIES 1.53 (Not 2.0) and see if the upgrade worked then...
Message I got back after sync my GT was;
"Model Name: GT-P1000T
Current Version: PDA:JJ3 / PHONE:JJ3 / CSC:JJ4
This devices version cannot be updated."
So - I am assuming that there must be a flaw in KIES 2.0 if (a) it suggests there is a firmware update, (b) downloads that update but (c) does not install the update on the device.
I still have my service request with Samsung so will report on what the outcome of that is (if they corroborate or not)...
Im getting the same issue with kies v2
Theres also a discussion at whirlpool with aus users.

Me and my partner both have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 in the UK on EE, Our phones are set up the same and today my partners phone downloaded a 350Mb+ OTA update and applied it fine while if I try to update OTA it says it is up to date and if I try to update on the PC I get a message saying "Failed to convert to upgrade mode"
My phone currently says:
Build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAME2
While my partners is:
Build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUBMG7
Which Kies says is the newest update.
What could be causing my phone to completely ignore the update? My phone isn't rooted and nothing has been added to either phone, they are both stock S4s.
I've spent the past 6 hours searching to try to find if anyone else has had this and any I have found have no answers, it's starting to drive me crazy now.

You could always go to apps then all and go to the Google Framework Services and Clear the cache and Reboot to try to force the OTA

Unfortunately this didn't work, also tried force stopping the service, clearing cache and data, rebooted and tried the OTA update again, still saying the phone is up to date, really wish it would have been that simple.
have you tried clearing cache & dalvik cache and restoring to default from recovery mode?
Update: After trying the suggestions in this thread, none of them worked unfortunately. I was getting ready to do a reset on it to see if it would help and I it suddenly decided to download and apply the update, so the problem is sorted but I have no clue how.

Dude, forget these OTA`s and flash the entire new rom from here www.sammobile.com with Odin 3.04. Afterwards do a data factory reset (backup first), this will give you the best result.
Same thing happened to me.
Me, my girlfriend and my brother have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. All phones was bought 3 weeks ago.
After purchase I checked all S4 for update. All show that they have newest updates.
2 days ago I once again checked my GF S4 for update and i started to update. Downloaded one 70mb ant other 300mb update patch and updated itself. Same on brothers phone.
But when I try to update my S4 it says that its up to date.
My phone:
Build number: I9505XXUAMDE
GF and brothers phone:
Build number: I9505XXUAMDD. After update I9505XXUBMG7.
Why my S4 do not updates?
Updates are released in different time depending on region?
Hello
I manage to build up a GT-I9505.
All the parts that I used are from defective devices purchased from Ebay (main board ; display etc)
At the first start the phone had a strange firmware installed and was in a factory mode.
I did a research on google and I manage to exit from the factory mode and also to flash a new firmware (I9505XXUBMF8).
The new firmware contained PDA/CSC/Modem/BOOTLOADER.
I use the phone since 2 or 3 weeks with no problemes.
But last days I found out that there is a newer firmware (I9505XXUBMGA) so I tried to update via OTA.
Unfortunately each time when I trie to update via OTA i get "network or server error please try later".
Also via Kies I got :
"your device's curent firmware is not supported to update firmware via Kies
current firmware version : PDA:MF8 / PHONE:MF8 / CSC:MF8 (XXX)
What can I do in this case?
The PDA/Modem/CSC seems to match.
From what I read on variuous forums this is all that matters on samsung phones to get updates via OTA & Kies.
Or also the IMEI needs to mach with the PDA/Modem/CSC?
In my case the IMEI is 0 but still the phone works on all the carriers from my country.
Any advice on how to get update work via Kies & OTA will be apreciated.
Thank you

Had the same problem when switching roms (Vodafone Dutch to DBT German) and fixed it.
1. Turn phone off
2. Do the 3 button combo (home button, volume up + power on)
3. CSC will be correctly installed.
4. Reboot phone and your pc
5. Check again
If that didn't work download the full rom and flash it with odin. That will fix it too
I recently asked whether my S4 would automatically receive the 4G capability update when it becomes available in my area in the UK...
I was told that because my phone is rooted, it would need to be done via kies and no OTA update would be available...
I went onto kies on my laptop and updated it to the latest version. Here's where the problems start, when connected to my phone kies states that I need to update it again and then upgrade the firmware on my phone... So I try again, only this time it says that the latest version of kies IS not installed?!
Secondly I clicked on the Tools menu and then clicked "Firmware upgrade and initialisation" ... To which kies replied with "GT-I9505" Does not support initialisation"??
Thanks for reading and please tell me what do to.

For android 4.3 u need install Kies 3
Uninstall KIES completely. Reboot PC. Download last KIEs from Samsung's website. Install. Reboot PC. Start KIEs. connect phone.
