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)

My current device info:
GT-P1000
PDA:JJ3
PHONE:JID
CSC:JJ2
Unbranded, stock firmware, rooted, but then unrooted. Bought in Norway.
Why can't I get JJ7 from samsung kies? It says I already have the latest version installed. There is supposed to be an upgrade for my device, right? Or is it only for UK tabs??
I can't wait to get the browser fixed, but I'm too scared to install JMC/D after those scary bootloaders jumped out from under the bed.

I really didn't have a clue either why kies won't pass the jk7 update through. though you're safe flashing at least jm6 following exactly the guide in the dev topic, this fw version won't pop them bootloaders up, and will fix most of your issues. If you're uncertain of flashing outside of kies, don't do it, hang around for a while on jj3 as samsung is planning a official update somewhere near coming weeks, as with the sgs after completing the roll out of the sns

Thank you for your reply.
But others already got this way back in november(?!) Did samsung pull it for some reason? Or is it all just bull? All I can find is a thread here on xda and another over at android forums mentioning the jj7.
Really wanna know too, i am in Denmark and is allso on jj3
In Belgium we're also still on jj3 and no updates available in kies.
On my Galaxy S at least I could change the country code to UK Generic (thanks to the registry hack) to get the update faster :-D

Bought mine in Norway too, still waiting for JJ7. One question, if you could please help me out: Can you connect your tab to Kies? Assuming you got the newest version of Kies. I can't, and I can't for the life of me fix it. Would be pretty annoyed if Samsung release a FW-update, and not being able to apply it cause of Kies-issues.
Edit: I can mount mass storage, and get access to it through USB, but I just can't get Kies to recognise the tab. It's no problem with my SGS.
Here in the UK the tabs from carphone warehouse (big phone retailer) have been updated but the Tesco (big supermarket) ones haven't

Guys, AFAIK it depends on the pre-installed Sales Code on your Tab. If you have a JJ3 CPW Tab (UK Carphone Warehouse) you will be offered JJ7 through Kies, if not it seems you won't. There are ways to fake the Sales Code in Kies if you want to, look in the Galaxy S forums for details or flash the ROM of your choice (carefully) with Odin or Hemidal..!
If you flash with Odin or Hemidal I recommending flashing the modem.bin from your original provider version back to give best phone/modem performance unless you know that the modem you flashed to is suitable for your country conditions.
Version 2.0.1.11053_99

I was thinking that myself psp888 but I'm not too confident on that.
For some reason my says that already has the latest version which is 2.0.0.11044_11. Well it is not for some reason, it is for Kies reason..
Done the update and plugged in my phone (KE7) on the off chance of a further firmware upgrade but still states it's the latest one.
But it did connect to the phone right away which normally never happens.
Updated Kies but no new firmware.
In the SGS days (not that long ago) a new version of Kies was often just a few days before some nice new firmware releases.
Keeping the hope up, but we'll see..........

2.3.4 does not require a kies update for it to be downloaded or installed. Kies uses a specific protocol to communicate with your phone. Update is usually to add features or speed up things, improvements etc.

I thought that for those like me still not ready to root their devices can only update to 2.3.4 can only do so through Kies or go to a Samsung service center, or is there any other means?
My Kies bugs out every time I try to update, says the internet is not connected.
It also downloads more files than it is expected whilst retrying internet connection (eg. 54000/40000 KB).
Can anyone post a link to directly download the install file instead of using the update feature?
New update is available xwkh5 BUT YOU CAN ONLY UDATE VIA YOUR PHONE.
i GOT THE UPDATE THIS MORNING AFTER SO MANY UP AND DOWN WITH KIES.
BUILD NO
GINGERBREAD XWKH5

Ater 5mins the phone notify me with new update and i pressed yes that was how i got it. You can forget kies . It is not reliable.
No joy for me. I'm on similar free firmware as well

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...

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'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.

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:

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.
Hi this should be a general thread about updating Note via Kies. Let us write here all problem and solutions.
My problem is the following. I open Kies connect my phone and the press update firmware. Then Kies download the firmware. After that kies disconects and freeze!. I have disablet some application via Systemconfig exept update samsung update upload and download applications i have ICS and i have 2 times hardresset the phone :/ is my phone maybe bricket
Wy i can't update via Kies?.
Should i unblock more bloodware?.
Is my phone bricket?.

Well, if he is able to download the firmware, his prob has nothing to do with CSC. If his prob was CSC, he wouldn't be able to download it because Kies would show a message stating his device was not elegible for official updates.
