I just got off the phone with Samsung UK who are telling me that they are going to remove the KE1 upgrade as they have had many phones die on them, which have had to be sent to them for delivery.
I called because the phone would not complete the upgrade, it would hang at the final stage, but it seems strange that its not mentioned anywhere on their website, or no press release about this!?
Anyone had their phones die on them when upgrading to KE1?
Edited: Samsung meant don't upgrade to KE2, I made a mistake thinking it was KE1....
I was fine on KE1 and now moved onto KE2
I've been on KE1 since it was put out, haven't gone over to KE2 due to the issues that firmware has with Orange.
Whoever you spoke to was talking out of their ass/massively misinformed I bet.
KE1 has been deprecated in favour of KE2, and is no longer available to update to via Kies.

All of the above is a Kies or Kies user problem not a KE1 problem same with any firmware via Kies always possible failure .

Don't know if this is at all related but I just plugged my phone into Kies and when before it would say that my phone has the latest firmware version it now says "the version of the device cannot be updated"
Very odd.

No, it wouldn't. KE1 and subsequently KE2 were both available to O2 branded phones just the same as unbranded ones. They showed up in Kies for me (even though I eventually gave up on that steaming heap of elephant excrement and used Odin).

Mine says the same thing. Unlocked from Phones4U.
EDIT: Just called Samsung, he said it was displaying this message because there wasn't an update available as the handset shipped with the latest firmware ("android 2.2").
Once again we have support that haven't a bloody clue about the product they're meant to be helping with.
Mine is unlocked from phones4U and kies says that KE1 is the latest firmware. I remember a few days ago, kies detected that I was able to do a update to KE2, but I did not upgrade at the time because people were saying there were some problems with crashing. But now I cant upgrade?

What network are you running on? I'm still having the 'com.android.phone' force-closing error so maybe it's detecting what SIM I have in there...
EDIT: Nope, took the SIM out and it didn't make a blind bit of difference.

I'm having the exact same thing. Updated via kies last night, turned phone off to charge and get the same force close error. It randomly seems to sort itself out though in a few minutes.
Sent from my GT-I9100
I'm running an O2 branded SGSII on T-Mobile.
It's been updated to KE2 via kies and rooted using the insecure KDD kernel then the stock KE2 kernel reapplied.
I thought I've plugged it into kies and seen the normal Latest firmware message AFTER I'd rooted and reapplied the stock kernel, but maybe I'm misremembering that and this is what's causing Kies to say no update is available ?

This happened to me when attempting to upgrade from KE1 to KE2. I only tried once and having read the issues with the other guys on orange i sacked it off.
KE1 is fine for me tho
I can see the pic I attached earlier fine? anways Samsung must have meant dont upgrade to KE2 then (being the latest firmware).
Especially as I cant see that as an update anymore on Kies, only KE1....

Working on the upgrade now! Using kies btw
What version Kies are you using please? Cause I have nothing on my Kies. And, it still crashes when checking for updates. *sigh*
God, I bet we'll be the last to receive the update, being the buttplug of the world.

I just updated my Kies to 1.5.3.10093_82. And I am not getting the update in Kies. I cleaned up my registry after removing the older version. Does that affect getting the update. Secondly I bought my phone from Vodafone Germany.

You guys are lucky.... waa..
I'm still receiving a "this device version cannot be updated" message!
That could be a problem.
Your Kies should say "Latest firmware already installed".
Maybe someone else can shed some light on that as im not 100% sure.
If it says Device cannot be upgraded it could be a software issue.

Yes, should get "Latest firmware already installed" message. But if you get "this device version cannot be updated", that means your product code is "KOR". Product code changed to "KOR" normally if you flashed leaked froyo firmware.
for Singtel, need to change product code back to "XSO". Search forum on how to change product code... about editing the nv_data.bin file...

Hi folks,
Please let us know it the froyo update appears in your kies and nobody reported it from ypour country so far to make it possible for other (less and less patiently) waiting fellow SGSers to follow the progress of the update country by country. It would be a nice extra to also report your Product code (can be found by searching the registry starting at HKCU/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB for ProductCode)
Thanks in advance for everyone who cares enough to make easier the already too long waiting process for us.
Positive feedback(s) so far:
Sweden
Norway
Denmark
Finland
Iceland
UK O2 (?)
Germany
Netherlands
Please try to avoid "no update here" post if it's possible as they are only noise an make updating first post to reflect the current status a lot harder. Thanks.
Here you can find the info about how to fool your KIES to dowload the scandinavian update (thanks dakine)
I would also like to know this. I just wrote a post at Androinica about the update, so please feel free to share your comments there as well
Android 2.2 Froyo for Samsung Galaxy S has finally arrived
According to this post, it is Denmark, Norway, and Sweden confirmed so far.
Is there a way for us to manipulate Kies into downloading the update?
Ok I have found that Kies will now let me upgrade using the following:
ProductCode: XEE
HIDSWVER: I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3
That's fine, but what your product code will be after the upgrade?
Not sure, that code is for Sweden.
I just realised I still have voodoo lagfix installed. Anyone know if this will cause problems?
Still nothing for Germany, checked few minutes ago.

You HAVE to disable it, the new firmware will not be able to recognize the EXT4 partitioning system! follow this guide on voodoo lagfix webpage:
http://project-voodoo.org/documentation
In this way you will revert back to RFS. As soon as voodoo lagfix will be ready for Froyo (not yet) you'll be able to install over the previous one that is still disabled.
I have just disabled it now.

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

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.

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.

Thats odd os the one downloaded today although it has a lower build number is dated 29 January 2011, 23:11:02. The newest part is dated Feb14th.
When I download the update for kies it gets to the dowloading files part and is on 100% but carries on downloading past the 53642kb on something like over 233343 whats wrong with it? Also it keeps asking for internet connection and i click retry every so often? Is there anyway I can download the new version and uninstall the old one rather than updating?
i noticed that this new update is more responsive than the last at least they are improving their apllication

You got the latest Kies intalled?
Possibly not and have to wait for my wife to stop playing Solitaire a minute before I can check. I'm pretty new to Android and Samsung. There definitely isn't a Kies for Mac is there? I can't find one
There is a Mac version on the following Samsung page.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...500BAAXEU&prd_mdl_name=GT-S8500&srchword=Wave
I don't know if it will work with the GS2.
It isn't working for me yet. Says I have the latest firmware version with KE2.
It is probably because my product code is FOP. Is there anyone without the XEU sales code getting the update with Kies yet?
And now, as with every update in the months/years to come, I'll install it hoping it fixes the banding issues on my screen, while audiophiles install it hoping it will improve sound quality...
And we'll probably see no difference at all
