Just saw that KB5 is available via Kies Mini.
Looks like it's just a Froyo update. Anyone have any information about it?
Will I lose root if I updated from rooted KA6? If so, can I re-root with superoneclick?

OK thanks.
For people who only want to update via kies mini, there is an official update there now.

Hi everyone this is my third thread today and Im going outta my mind!!!
Whatever firmware I flash Kies doesnt allow me to restore my firmware to what it was!!!!!!!! It also says that this deviceversion cannot be updated anymore just like someone else mentioned on the forum.
Can anyone help me please!!
What firmware are you trying to flash? Kies is only for official updates. You must use Odin to flash other/beta firmwares.
read the faq thread in the development section.
right now jf3 as someone stated thats the stock one, but i want to go back to the stock one and let KIES do the updates how am I able to do this?
Anybody???
you will have to use Odin, or ROM Manager to install previous version of the ROMs
you can not use Kies to restore back to original ROM
But if i flash the original firmware will I then be able to use Kies again or will I never be able to use Kies to update?
Use Odin to flash back to JF3 then Kies should be able to handle official updates from then on.
I did that it still says that the phone is not able to be updated anymore I think because I really need the dutch firmware
If you flash back to JF3 you would still get that he can't upgrade the phone. I got that message also when I was back on the stock-rom.
There is no official dutch update after JF3. So you allway get that he can't upgrade the phone.
I think/hope that the new Frodo update you can install with KIES. But can't be sure until there is a new update in KIES.
Im about to cry right now is there no system recovery?
About to cry?? What is the problem? If you are in holland there is no official update available. Use odin if you want to flash newer firmware or wait till september.

Man what the hell is wrong anyway? Kies will ALWAYS show that message untill Samsung releases an official update... There is nothing to update so obviously Kies will tell you that there is nothing to update! Obviously. Only in September we will see official updates... Wait untill then...

No you dont get it, it doesnt say theres no update available, it says the phone cant be updated anymore... when I hadnt flashed it said theres no new update available...
Hello all.
I am running a older galaxy tab 7 from t-mobile that is still on the original release jjb firmware not the jj3 software o any update.
I tried to connect the phone to the computer to get the update and no mater which version of kies of tried it says either not supported (kies 2.0) or is not found at all (kies mini).
I couldn't use Kies at all on stock T-Mobile firmware. When I went to gingerbread (euro) I think Kies 2.0 worked fine for me

What update are you referring to? I don't think that either T-mobile or Samsung have released any updates for the SGH-T849 tablet for T-mobile. After waiting 9 months for them to release an official update for their tab, I finally gave up and loaded the 2.3.6 Rom for Germany. Then I reflashed the modem file for T-mobile and I finally have Gingerbread on my Galaxy Tab.
Before I flashed the tablet, Kies did not recognize my device. After I flashed it, Kies saw it as P1000 device instead of an SGH-T849.
From the other posts and links I found there are the JJ3 and JJ2 firmware files and nothing like that was ever poping up for me. Also I saw a few other people saying they got the update using kies to that verision from the original JJB
Sorry to say but you are mistaken, T-mobile USA has never released an update for its Galaxy Tab. You have the original and only stock ROM on your T-mobile Tab that has ever been available. Kies never has and probably never will natively recognize the original T-mobile Galaxy Tab. If you want to upgrade to Gingerbread, you're going to have to flash a European ROM or a custom ROM to get there.
Hi guys just to let you know that the 7105 (TGY) owners have a new FW update N7105ZHDMB1 N7105ZZHDMB1; I suspect it is the 4.1.2 version... OTA is queuing users, KIES has the update, and of course @ http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7105 and http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ to download the files it is a full GB update.Cheers
Well I updated using KIES and lost root, neitherSU survival mode nor OTA Rootkeeper are able to restore it.
Anyone can suggest a way to recover root? Cheers
Re rooted with the same method I used to root on the first time...I guess that is pretty ease lol... I should have read the OTA statement that it only restores after OTA not KIES!! Cheers
A'right ,here is the question, If I want to update my S4 via "Kies" how much would be the firmware size? (the new XXUEMK8 build)
I've try to update it via kies, but it did not show the "download size". Is it over 1 GB? or less?
(it is important to me). If you know please let me know, too. I am currently at android 4.3 XXUEMJ6.
And I also know that if I want to update my S4 via odin I must download the stock firmware (which is almost 1.5 GB) which is not my answer!
Second question, Is it worth to update to the latest version? for me, It doesn't seem to have problem with current build.
Yes.. It seems to be more than 1GB.. It took 2 hours to download via Kies.. I was getting Maximum rollouts exceeded message on OTA.. So updated via Kies...

1. Download Kies Software and run it. (www.samsung.com/us/kies)
2. Connect your phone via USB to computer.
3. Kies will tell you if it needs to update or not. (you must be online)
4. If update available, simply click on "Update" button. :good:
If you have android 4.2 you must install "Kies". "Kies version 3" is for Android 4.3 devices.
If you flash a Stock Rom via Odin, you still will be able to update OTA.

Did you rooted your device before?
If you have rooted device your device status is shown modified or custom so you can not update with kies or OTA. Use Wanam Xposed to fake this situation into "Official".
Before that you may try Triangle Away.
