Hi guys
Just installed the new keies software and it said the froyo update was out for my handset (galaxy s) it downloads the update really slow (takes about 20 mins) and then then after it reaches 100% the phone disconnects from the PC and the andriod constuction logo appears on the phone, then shortly after i get an error message from kies telling me the upgrade didnt work and that an emergancy repair is needed..
Ive managed to recover the phone back to working order, but is there anyway i can get this update?
p.s phone was unlocked with the tool from these forums when we had it, if that makes a differance
There are many problems with kies while upgrading the firmware. When you get the error - did you read the error? At times it says something about a "rapi.dll" file missing or any other file, just download that file and it should work.
Best alternative is download the firmware from samfirmware (stock) and flash through odin, it hardly takes any time.
If you want your genuine network supplied firmware i would use the Kies Registry Patcher as this allows you to save the downloaded rom in case of problems .
Failing that as advised the stock rom but that is not what came with the phone its generic non network non branded .

This is not a big deal, just click on emergency when it appears and kies will proceed, it might say that it will download the firmware again or might use the firmware that is already downloaded.
Can somebody point me on kernel for JVQ supporting Voodoo Color? Thanks.

I tried different machines before I sorted the connectivity problem to establish connection to my device until finally my PC can recognise my device.
Now comes the next headache, after getting the connection established I clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available -
it shows my current version as:
(PDA)JE9/(Phone)JE9
available update as:
(PDA)JF4/(Phone)JF4
When clicked on 'proceed' - it brings up some warning for me to make sure they are fixed before I proceed further like power cables connected and some warning of not removing or doing anything during upgrade, after I check 'agree' it starts the download by letting me know that the binary files for the new firmware is being downloaded and after the dowload there seems to be a wait creating impatience for us as to what next...after a few seconds I can see the message above the progress bar saying that the upgrade process has begun..
I can see the screen on my SGS display come with the android logo on some work (like road construction work) and the message telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect...it stays in that state for around a minute...no progress in the progress bar....Now suddenly the PC says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode, try later' and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' (getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question) until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.
I am stuck and can't proceed further - I tried it many times with many machines no luck. Please anybody suggest a way out.
Some info on my device: Bought in UK, sim free phone from Singapore Singtel as I see the operator's animation in the startup screen.
Other details on firmware:
PDA:I9000DXJE9
Phone:I9000DXJE9
CSC:I9000OLBJE9
In the settings 'About Phone' carries details:
Version: DXJE9
Kernel: [email protected]# (does this mean the device is rooted already?)
I have another question since I saw somebody mention in another thread that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.
somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.
isn't there any dev who can help me on this, it looks like i am the only one experiencing this!!!
I don't think many people are getting the upgrade options via kies at the moment.
I'm not seeing it on UK JF3
so hope, there isn't an issue with my device. I am weary because this was purchased from an online site but purchased the device after checking it personally.
One more question, will an unlocked phone get locked after any new firmware updates?
Are sim free and unlocked phones follow different philosophy ie., after unlocking a phone does that become a sim free phone forever.
Second question, how does the OTA update work - if you are not tied to a service provider - does samsung send these directly to all sim free phones automatically, looking and searching for IMEI numbers? and will a rooted phone be allowed to upate to froyo or any official update (for example) via the official Kies?
thanks
There isn't any offical firmware updates, via Kies, and or any other method.

Pls dont give wrong information. If you are suggesting something make it elaborate and clear.
I have clearly mentioned that I can see my current version as: (PDA)JE9/(Phone) JE9
Update available version:
(PDA) JF4/(Phone) JF4
thats what is displayed via Kies. I am also aware from this forum that some people can see the update whilst others dont see any.
Having said that, I was asking a techy questions as to whether a OTA upgrade or a upgrade via Kies from Samsung still happen if the phone is rooted and also if the phone is sim free and not attached to any service providers will the OTA upgrade will happen if so, is it based on IMEI number that will automatically be tracked OTA.

I was wondering if anyone found a solution to this problem? I am having the same problem.
I'm looking at this also.
after following this: (oh great, can't post links)
I had a problem updating to the official Foyo via Kies.
Finally got my PC to recognise the phone then started the update.
Phone screen went all green part way through and nothing was happening for about 20 mins so unplugged.
Phone would switch on but came up with a little picture on the screen and thats it.
so got it updated to JPM by booting into download mode and using odin. Took 5 mins once I downloaded all the files.
Hey guys, i recently bought my GS2 from 02. I am on the original firmware and have not updated to KE1 or KE2. I recently downloaded the latest version of Kies and plugged in my device. All the drivers were successfully installed and i could sync all my music fine.
I plugged the device in yesterday and it said latest firmware (KE2) was available. i said yes, backed up my device, and said started downloading. Once the firmware was downloaded it said preparing device for download.
Now is when the error message - 'FirmWare update stopped working' (on vista 32bit)
so anyone had this problem or know how to fix this?
i am not rooted or anything just stock
Its nothing with being rooted or anything else wrong with your device.. The problem is with Kies, it hangs sometimes.. Trying again, might help you..

I've tried about 10 times and i just tried it. Still the same error... Also i can't uninstall applications anymore! Once i click uninstall it says comandroid.vending stopped working and the market crashes. then as as soon as i hit OK TW launcher also force stops so basically my phone is crippled and i have to reboot it... i really dont know whats going on!! it was fine for the past week
Just flash it using odin 2 mins your done read how to in devolpment section of forum
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Or bother Samsung so they make Kies better. Goes like this: call them, say "Bother, bother, bother, bother"
Nah but still, contact them
I found Kies works much better on my netbook running windows XP 32bit than on my desktop running windows 7 64bit. If you have a windows xp PC you can use, I would suggest you give that a try.
I will contact them, also because im using o2 firmware i dont think i can flash using odin or can i?

You need to turn of your anti virus when updating with kies . the anti virus will delete a file half way.though update. so turn it off
AV and Firewall OFF .
Factory reset phone if you can
Kies no update try emergency firmware recovery if problems .
I will contact them, also because im using o2 firmware i dont think i can flash using odin or can i?
Flash with Odin if its a stock Samsung rom then O2 can refuse warranty Samsung will hour the warranty ..

Sorry couldn't resist
Thanks guys! turning the firewall did the trick and i am now on the latest firmware
So what are the major differences? I heard that the Auto-Brightness issue had been fixed (although my brightness is always set manually).
OH DAMN IT! The uninstalling problem still remains. whenever i go into manage applications and try and uninstall something it says 'The application market (processcom.android.vending.) has stopped unexpectadly. Please try again'
and it says uninstall finished but once i reboot its still there. I also cant install stuff from the market anymore after that message appears! I also cant get on the internet it makes me force close.
I have to reboot to get the internet working again... this really sucks anyone know why?
The final step would be to try a full hard reset of the phone but that would wipe everything on it so worth saving as a last resort.
As a first step have you tried going into
Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All tab, selecting Market and press ing the Clear data and Clear cache buttons, just in case there's something in there that's causing a problem ?

About the root im gonna wait until the guy has the kernel for KE2 which he said would be around the 23rd. And about the first link... why all the codes? i cant find a code with a full reset :?
You can use the current insecure kernel with KE2.
You install KE2 (of course), install the insecure KDD kernel via ODIN, root and install superuser via SuperOneClick then finally flash back the stock KE2 kernel.
The rooting works fine even after flashing back the stock KE2 kernel.

so i just follow chainfires guide as it is and basically once ive finished everything just flash back the KE2 he supplied? that sounds great i will do that.
one quick question though my phone is O2 branded.. does that affect rooting in anyway?
I got the phone last week, network lock on, as I got it on T-Mobile, hooked it up to my pc, with the latest Kies, I had 2.3.3 and got a notification for an official update. It got stuck at 3% and was bricked afterwards (phone to pc connection broken image).
Anyways got it into download mode, flashed official firmware from sammobile forum(samfirmware is down) I9001XXKF8 with XEN SCS and AriesVE.ops Odin 4.43
It got stuck after 7/12 ext4 smth..
Then, decided to try 2.3.5 firmware I9001XXKPJ, as it's a Provider firmware, mind you everywhere I read that you shouldn't flash a network locked phone(exception is a provider firmware), but I did anyways , finished in 6mins.
Phone works great, now I have 2.3.5 with what I think is a huge rom with XX languages, including Macedonian(Balkan countries)
I don't have the slightest idea how I got it unlocked.. somewhere I read the network lock is in the rom in i9001, so you can try this. A local phone shop asked for 30eur, so I'm spending that money on booze tonight
I'll add this link to a post as well as I banged my head around quite a lot, before figuring it out/ how to recovery mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17395735&postcount=19 thanks Riversource
can you please add some details?I did a flash with xxkpj but no luck my phone still locked. thanks...

as far as I know flashing a rom (after flashing any kind of them from samobile and xda) does not remove the sim lock. there should be a different method rather than flashing or buying the code
After reading a lot of posts on i9001 I read there are two kinds of network locks, and I guess I was lucky enough to only have had the ROM based lock.
try different provider firmwares/non provider firmwares.. (although non provider firmwares are not suggested anywhere for locked phones, I haven't encountered anyone with bricked phones doing this)
Check your imei.
If it is 000000... ore not the same like the one under your batterie then your imei file got corrupted.
Well my phone was slow and rooted and I thought the problem was that my phone needed a software update so I went to update but it said your operating systems been modified, so I unrootrd but the problem still happened so then I factory reset the phone.. and it's still happening now, but even worse when trying to go on the play store, and after logging in it says can't receive reliable connection or some crap..
I know I need to flash it but how do I do it and which downlaod links?my model is SM-G900F, G900FXXU1BOB7 using 02 in the UK.
