Kies is offering new firmware

Guys,
Whoever is in Europe (Nederland) please check, Kies is offering me a new firmware, I am already on 2.2.1. Dont know what it is but I put kies on auto download new firmware for GTI9000 yesterday and I started kies, just now and he is giving new firmware.
Why I dont know version is because kies does not detect my phone on my laptop.
Somebody can check?

id check but im running 2.3.2 jv1 and it wont tell me....

The last firmware is the same as the current firmware, PDA:JS5 Phone:JPY CSC:JS3.
So no gingerbread yet..

Thanks for checking, I dont know, what kies has auto downloaded, till it detects my phone and popping up with new firmware, but ok....

You propably had js3.
Samsubmng stopped that update after a couple days, since a month you can update to js5 instead

Mine is saying new firmware available, but in Kies it say JP5 is current/latest.

It's kies, so it's probably just a bug.

I just got the popup too.
I'm already on the newest firmware for my country (js5).
But the weird things is: my phone isn't connected to my computer, but it's connected to my charger and it's off.
Maybe it's just a bug in Kies, or it means we'll get gingerbread really soon

Don't know tried to connect phone in different ways but no luck so far, windows 7 with Kies is a match made in hell. Yesterday it was okay and after kies update, problems again.
New firmware message is popping up when I start kies and I am already on JS5 so its can't be JS3 to JS5 or may be it's indeed a bug, tomorrow I'll try from work pc to see if really there is anything. This kies knew my device as yesterday it shown me no updates.
Smelling gingerbread....or hoping to smell

Is it saying that there is a Firmware update or just a Software update as if you look below there is a post on Kies 2 update for software which would explain why it popped up when the phone was not connected,

Understand your curious doubt but message popup is indeed for for firmware, not kies software update.

Hi there, I'm in The Netherlands and just got the Kies update and firmware update. I gave it a go and now I have a happy non-rooted SGS with Android 2.2.1. Let's see if Sammy can surprise us anytime soon with some gingerbread...
Cheers

The new Kies has two places to look re firmware upgrade. It can auto download the firmware in preparation, Look in Tools/Firmware Upgrade settings and the other place to look is to right click on device name and then Firmware upgrade (if there is not one it will be greyed out)

[update]Kies update now available

Version number 2.0.011044_11 now available to update

Mine's just updating now. Hopefully this is a precursor to Gingerbread.

Updating mine also. (58 Meg)

Samsung KIES says JS5/JPY/JS3 is the lastest firmware.
I came from MIUI and now im on JPA/JPP/JP2.

Still no gingerbread with update

@amwebby I really hope it is a precursor to gingerbread. I've been trying to stick to stock rom until at least after gingerbread update but I'm getting a little sick of the wait. Let's hope when it comes that it's 2.3.4

I'm on version 2.0.0.1032_12, in the UK and Keis tells me that I have the latest version installed.
Strange!!

No. Kies is updated when new phones are released or they fix/change any of the built-in (bloat) features. Kies supports galaxy S, ace, wave, galaxy 5 and a whole bunch of other phones. If they needed to update Kies every time they release a new firmware we'd be updating every day. The only time a Kies update has been needed for a firmware launch was when they changed the download servers.

Same same
I think it's the same.
We wont get Gingerbread before SGS2 is available.
One reason for me thinking this is that the bigest carrier in denmark has declared that is will release the SGS2 in week 19, same week as Gingerbread is comming to there branded SGS phones.
PS. Got the Kies update in Denmark as well.

I don't think they updated it for the GB release cause those were already online a while as we all know so I guess theres no update required for them.

Another wonder update named gingerbread dummy

I wonder if someone could explain to me what this update means and how is it possible to get 2 updates whithin 24hours.

It means you are the first person to report receiving this update... or you changed the build prop. Either way I have no clue.

Why is it whenever i try to share with the community any new update , people seems not to believe me. I am not a developer , so how can i change the build of my phone. The only thing am good in is to use odin to install firmware on my phone . But this new update am short of word myself.

Was it anothe OTA update?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Yes of course , I got it this morning as soon as i switch on my phone

Has any body else got any of these updates?
I have just tried going menu/settings/about/software updates/check for updates/ but it returns with "no update available". If that was not how you got the OTA update please give the exact steps you did so others can try this out. I am in the UK on O2 running stock KF3.
If nobody else is getting these updates then my _guess_ is that you are some how getting test updates reserved for Samsung staff.
And no I don't have any inside info into thier numbering system.

Yep one person only the whole wide world gets the update . Something wrong if it was a proper OTA update many more would be posting .
jje

I agree, i believe the OP is telling lies
plain and simple..
intratech in his post# (in this thread itself) has shown that he has captured baseband version I9100KH3 but i am sure OTA is not the way right now to get this update
The OP has been flashing firmwares here and there and claiming he is getting it from OTA.... white lies black lies...all lies

It is possible that the OP is some how getting test updates reserved for Samsung staff and for Samsung testing. Samsung are not intending that these OTA updates go to his phone.

I went to the samsung website and the latest firmware download is Kies_2.0.2.11071_128.exe dated the 24th of August 2011.
I am not at home to install and test this out.

possible...and weird

Maybe my phone is mainly build for samsung update eventhough i am not samsung memeber of staff. All what i know is i have got the update via OTA this morning . I have not hacked or do anything to my phone .

I believe the update is a Samsung problem as KH3 is replaced by KH5 that was a single user OTA update .
Plus OTA has never worked for most users .
jje

This all sounds way too odd for me.
Firstly, the OP gets KH5 then suddenly he gets a DUMMY firmware OTA.
Either something is wrong with Samsung OTA updating for this device or its all a crock of s**t.
No one else had anything like this so my advise is perform a system dump and give someone that knows their stuff to look at it like a developer...PM them perhaps?
If not, I dont believe it.

New Kies 2.0.3.11082_152, no firmware update on NEE

Finland, new Kies version. No firmware update -- still same offering: PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV3 (NEE)

I really hope they will give us something new. Like GTalk 2 with video support

I got the new Kies on Monday. In my experience that sometimes predates an Android update, which was promised for the end of September.

If you guys aren't using Odin, you may want to give it a try.
Once I learned about how to use Odin, I couldn't go back to Kies ever again...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I've used Odin and tried all the custom ROMs. I decided I prefer to keep it stock. Waiting for OTA updates to kick in though...

I am in Serbia and I got the same update, but no ginger yet.. I don't want to do it myself because of the warranty,so I'm waiting for couple of months now..

I'm on stock currently myself. You don't need Odin for custom ROMs, there's plenty of stock already on samfirmware.com.
Kies already bricked my i9000m twice using Samsung official firmware. Samsung's response was that the firmware wasn't available for my area yet. I told them that Kies gave me the green light, and their response was still the FW wasn't approved yet. That was a PITA to get resolved.
Samfirmware.com has firmwares (including stock) that many have tried, and Odin takes the tedious waiting out too. Between waiting and 2 bricked phones from Kies, I am done with Kies forever!...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Hmm, Samfirmwares may be stock but not necessarily official releases. I don't trust Kies although I've never had a really bad experience using it. I just want OTA updates like I used to have on my Nokia 4 years ago!

There's a few that are 100% official. The rest are stock waiting for carriers to chop them up.
Honestly the only thing that you are waiting for is carrier bloatware.
BTW I used to be a Nokia e71/72 user myself...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Luckily mine is carrier-free. Discerning the "final official" roms and installing them whilst retaining my current set up is what concerns me. Like I said, petitioning for OTA updates.

It would be best to work like google chrome browser auto update. It downloads the update, and next time you start it it installs. No questions asked... no time wasted... Always the newest firmware. OTA of course. It could work on android. Downloads update, waits for restart. When restarted if battery >60% installs. Piece of cake...

Now I'm on JVS STOCK+ v1.5 and with this new Kies version , when I plug the phone and open the Kies, the message displayed is:
Firmware information
S/W version in your phone is not an official version.
Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not suported.

Kies works ok but this message didn't apears in the old Kies version.
Lol

Samfireware.com does carry stock Samsung roms (it is not an official Samsung site) and they aren't official releases.
I have the 2.3.5 update from there and it is noticably quicker that the official 2.3.3. That being said kies detects the new version and says that its not official and that the upgrade service is not available for non-official versions. If samsung release an official update I might flash back to and older version then update through kies if I really had to which is no drama.

I noticed today the UK Samsung site has full instructions for OTA updates, which they call FOTA, for Firmware Over The Air.
The instructions were posted just after the last official update in August. Hopefully a sign that OTA is on the way.

Guys, i need some help/tips about updating my Firmware. I have a samsumsung GT-I9000 with Android 2.2 (Froyo). I know that there is a newer version (2.3 or so).
I downloaded Samsung Kies but on the general information screen it doesn´t give me the option to update the firmware version, it is only showing me my firmware version (not the latest version available, neither the chance of updaiting it).
I have tryed to install the Kies in differents PCs and I had the same issue.
My GF has a Samsung 5500 (Samsung Galaxy Europe) with Android 2.1, and we had the same problem trying to (or not having the chance to) update the firmware.
My first option is to try with Kies as it is an official source (I don´t want to have troubles with the warranty), but if it is not possible let me know any other way to update our phones.
I will really appreciate any help.
Cheers,

It sounds as if your SGS is tied to a carrier, in which case you are dependent on them for their version of the upgrade.
I would contact them first. If you get no joy there your only option is to "unlock" the phone from that carrier, thus enabling Kies to give you the generic upgrade.
This is what I did. I was locked to o2, here in the UK. Upon unlocking I get the latest generic update via Kies as soon as it becomes available, which is months before o2.

New firmware update available notice

I got a message about new firmware update available for my 3g international version (rooted) today. I was out of network connection when I saw it so I haven't tried downloading it yet. Any idea what it is? ICS possibly?

Hello techspy,
I got the same notice, however unfortunately I am at work and there is now WLAN connection available. I will try it later at home. ( I have no root!)
Greetings

Its not ICS...only 11.87 megs Dang...
Wonder what the update is? Hope I don't lose root.

no notification on my UK tab 7.7 - even when I query the update manually.
what is the update?

Well I just installed the update. It says "Device updated to version P6800ZSLA2". No idea what was changed/updated

no Update
no notification on my tab 7.7 - even when I query the update manually.

No updates for me also.

Nothing on my end.

I think this update has been around for awhile. Kies is showing mine as having the latest firmware (LA2).

LA2 has been out for a few months now.
