This version cannot be updated - Galaxy Tab General

Everytime I try to update my GT I receive a msg saying "This version cannot be updated". I tried updating kies, still the same, restored the tab to default and removed root, still the same, used the *272* to change locale, also still the same. Any idea what the solution might be?
My baseband version is: P1000JXJK2

Anyone? Anything?

It is quite possible that JK2 is the latest official version for your region. I believe that the latest official version on UK Tabs is a JJ version which would be older than yours.

yes, i got a JID since november and still the same on kies, "this version cannot be updated"
... no updates, while there should be evident bug fixes for that "bending gsensor"
thank samsung for that

According to samfirmware: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm
there are newer builds for my region (arabic).
In the old Kies it said that there's an update but your version can't be upgraded :0(

Just because a firmware is listed on samfirmware, doesn't mean that Samsung have pushed them out via Kies.
Looking at the list of Arabic ROMs on samfireware, I can see that there are several JMx builds - as far as I am aware, none of the JMx builds have ever been pushed out by Kies and are considered development test builds.
That leaves JVJL1 as the only later build, but this thread would indicate that isn't actually an Arabic ROM at all and thus wouldn't have been pushed out to Arabic Tabs.

Official Froyo question

The Samsung firmware website has only leaked versions of Froyo for now, will they be getting the "official" froyo fw once Samsung releases the official version in September?
Not sure what you mean, but any pre-releases will probably need to be wiped.
At the moment, there are very few good reasons to be using the Froyo prereleases anyway. They were probably only leaked because people got annoyed of the claims that Samsung was sitting on their arses doing nothing.
Sorry I wasn't being clear. What i meant was: Will the internet get the official froyo firmware once Samsung releases it?
I'm asking this because where I am I cannot update to froyo OTA so I will need to flash it.
Yes you will. The xda community will have it before it goes ota
i dont think galaxy s has an option of OTA updates. u probably need KIES to update firmware.

I checked with the Samsung guys here in Dubai and they flat out denied that the SGS will get Froyo OTA or through KIES. So I'll have to flash anyways

I don't think this can be true or makes any sense. OTA agree but update via Kies why not? I recently updated to XF5 via kies in Dubai and hope the froyo update also to happen via kies.
This is not an android market to worry about any copyright issues for them to stop releasing it here. Once they host in samsung I think it will appear via Kies.

With only the slightest difference in hardware from the international version, someone I know here in Korea got an OTA upgrade (he has MBP and hasn't even bothered to load Kies). I think the carrier here is their closest partner and that might have something to do with it. Not sure.

it'll be OTA for cell providers that offers that service
or via KIES
we in America got already JH2, with GPS fix and lag fix
it came out via KIES

Update through Kies in Dubai, that's good to know. Btw, does the XF5 have the android market app? You see that's the major reason I flashed to JG1 (Euro) rom.
On the other hand, if Samsung does release Froyo (through Kies) in Dubai, will there be a market app for it? I wonder.

Hi fakeullu, I have now realised that the update will be pushed to your kies based on what region ROM you already have in your mobile. So in that what you said and feared was right.
Even I had a SingTel (singapore) based SGS so the update that was pushed via Kies for me was again a singapore based one. I still had the SingTel based screens.
This is the same even for the locally purchased SGS in Dubai. You will get a Middle East based ROM, having said that there are multiple versions for a single region. For example, Middle East has some 3-4 different versions of FW. and good news is that some will have Market access. (you can refer to a thread called 'Samsung secret codes). These regions are identified based on a three letter alphabetical code like xsg for singapore and xfg for middle east.
In another thread on getting android market access - somebody was suggesting a technique to get access to android market and it worked for locally purchased device. Search for that thread.
I did the same and retained a singapore version while I removed successfully the SingTel customised contents out.
Dubai people flashed it to XFG and gained market access. So the next time you connect through Kies it will only push you a version that is compatible with XFG (the one that has market access).
I am sure this helps. You don't have to necessarily go for rooting and flashing a different regions ROM as the method I mentioned above is safe and without rooting and maintaining your warranty.
Cheers

Thanks for the comprehensive answer Sany. I've flashed to JG1 (Euro rom), so technically I should receive a euro update through kies even though I'm in Dubai?
Thats correct
Well sany, I did try updating through kies but it said no upgrade was available. Just like I thought. Anyways, I'm happy with flashing when Froyo roms (official) are released on Samsung firmwares website.

New firmware P1000JVJL1.. need info?

Recently a new firmware P1000JVJL1 showed up under the Arabic section at samfirmware.com, but it was confirmed that it was NOT an arabic firmware but euro instead.
So I flashed it just to feed my curiosity and it was true. Euro definitely, had Turkish locale too, but that uses normal English lettering.
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm
Wow another firmware, who said samsung was slow on firmware releases!! I take it this is the latest version, notice any changes and did it wipe everything?
hi!! thanks for the news, olny one question, does this version have italian language and will i have problem upgrading from jma to this?? i've update to jma and would like to know if there will be any problem...thanks in advance..

if i remember right, then is JV for the region
the following j for 2010
the following l is the month (were we have actually m in the jma version)
and the 1 is version one.
so i don´t really see were this firmware should be a newer one than xxjma

As far as I'm aware the M builds are test builds and not formal releases.
An L would indicate a December build, so it is quite possible it is newer than JMA.

jma was also released in december, so who says that is a newer version, and from where it cames thats an euro version? if it has turkish on board and english lettering, that says nothing. any other languages in?
Any chance you checked what the build date on this one was and what CSCs it includes?

I said that it was "quite possible" that it's newer than JMA, not that it is definitely newer.
Consider the following - JMA is a development build (we know this). At some point that development build will get completed and released, and when it does it ceases to be an "M" build and will follow the conventional naming sequence. If that build is released in December, it will be an L build.
It remains to be seen what this actually is, but we certainly shouldn't discount it based on there being an M build in existence.

Dave
i´m downloading it. will see what it says on my tab and if the build date is newer than jma.

Am doing the same now.
Should I continue?
The filesystem dates of the flashable files seem to indicate that JMA is newer, and the build numbers confirm that assumption: 759588 > 739553 (07/12/2010 > 01/12/2010)

you can stop it if you want.
i think this firmware is not newer as jma, as file dates are from 30.nov / 1.dec.
jma files are newer. for that i will not flash it to my tab unless somebody really proofes me that:
a) its a newer version,
and
b) its an euro-version.
Ok tried it
This firmware is for the turkish tablet and it doesn't contain the fixed browser (introduced in JM6)

Traditionally, Milestone and Prototype are internal. However in the SGS series we have repeatedly seen them on "production" releases (yes, both M and P).
In truth it is now hardly possible to compare newness based on name alone. There have been instances where (x) has been newer than (z) as well. Not to mention the last character can only be compared if comparing to the exact same region and product codes.

Official ROM availibility question + differences [SGS II]

Yesterday I've updated mu phone soft, but the newest version KIES found was i9100XXKE4 - looks like it's not the newest one (should be WEK4, dated on 25.05.2011). Does anyone know why KIES didn't show newer version and when it will be availible for my phone?
Best Regards, Jack

When the phone provider or network upgrade the firmware you get the upgrade from Kies . Phones product code determines the firmware .

I know it, but from what I know my phones wasn't from any phone carrier, it's a stock one, bought in a shop. Is it any way to determine is it stock phone (by serial number, by rom number) or bought from the carrier (mayby I'm wrong about it's origin)...
Answer is because KE4 is the latest available Polish firmware.
Ok, that should be an answer. But the question is, how long do You think it take Samsung to make latest rom availible for Poland?

Unknown... Nobody knows. TBH I'd use the standard "UK" or Europe one that is updated fastest on...
Ok, but how, if the KIES don't see any newer ones? If I change language in the phone, will it work? Are there any other options, that are recognized by KIES to determine my location, thus blocking newest software update? Some time ago I used KIES Registry editor when wanted to update my wife's Samsung Wave (S8500) to bada 1.2, but it was differernt (older) KIES and different system (bada).
Kies takes Product Code and a few other codes matches them to that specific firmware on the server for those codes .
I have never ever on SGS 1 or 2 managed to update firmware via Kies once stock rom flashed .

From the linked threat I can confirm, that my phone was unbranded - I had XKE2 and could update only to KE4. Looks like there is nothing more for me to do except: waiting for update via KIES or risk update by Odin. Tough choice for me...

Kies 2.0: "This device's version cannot be updated"

I bought my Galaxy SL from Egypt; however, I've lost my original ROM. I've tried both I9003JPKD1 and I9003JPKE1 (Both are Arabic), yet kies still complains it can't update the version. I've problems with these 2 ROMs. The perfromance is sluggish and the camera hangs a lot. I need to use Kies to update to the original firmware my phone came with. Is there anyway to do this?
Kies wont update the version as Samsung has not officially released any for this phone.
you will need to flash other ROM using the Odin and all info about that is already available just check the flashing guide and be careful as you might loose your warranty.

Yes, I flashed the only 2 Arabic firmwares available on samfirmware using Odin; however, it seems both of them were signed in KSA and not Egypt. Where can I find an Egyptian ROM?

Lie! There's no Brazil update.
Had to flash using Odin, which I recommend.
I've been waiting for 2.3.4 XEU to be available on Kies so I can update to official firmware. But I was just thinking...why do I care if its XEU or not? I can flash an official update from another region and still switch the language to english. I am in USA on AT&T anyway so its not like even XEU matches my country.
Am I missing something here? Is there a reason it matters to be on XEU for Americans?
It can depend if your phone is branded as the carriers can block Kies updates! There are serious problems with builds before KF3 (eg wifi sharing bug) so it worth flashing to that version if your carrier is blocking Kies updates. I updated about two months ago via Kies to build KF3 (2.3.3). I am in the UK unbranded O2/car phone warehouse. I am waiting for this latest new update to arrive on my s2 via Kies.
I am unlocked/unbranded. I think I'm going to just flash another official 2.3.4 firmware from Intratech's thread and then when a UK version comes out, I'll just flash that. I'm being patient for no reason Now I just have to figure out which region's firmware to flash....

Why not use Odin, mate? Then you can have the latest fw version.
question: I wanted to check out if the new firmware is available in my country, so i just restored (from cwm) my original firmware (cf-root kernel), reflashed a original kf3 kernel.
But Kies message is "You cannot update this device type".
Did i forgot to restore something original? besides the "root" everything else (rom + kernel) is original.
Well np i go back to miui i dont rly care atm, but in future if icecream is released, i prolly want to try it and having a working kies makes it faster.
Any suggestion?

Seriously, man. Ice Cream will be melted loooong before it shows up on KIES. If/when it shows up and you want it sooner, you'll more than likely need to flash it via Odin. KIES is limited by carrier releases. My SII wouldn't update via KIES either. Odin is the standard around here for a reason. It's safer, and it allows you to try what YOU want when YOU want it. Not when your carrier and/or Samsung releases it.
