[Q] Updating with Kies after Signed bootloader and JQ1 (Gingerbread) - Android Software Development

I have recently updated my UK tab to Gingerbread using a signed bootloader and JQ1 firmware.
I'm selling my tab but have run into a problem as I can't update via Kies. I've tried several different European Froyo firmwares - which work, but Kies either does not report the firmware or says this firmware cannot be updated.
Obviously I'd like to restore to a Kies updatable state before selling. Can anyone help? I've used the search function with several terms, and I've also tried to spoof Kies using the Kies Registry patcher - but still no luck.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Can't update to 2.2 due "Device Version Cannot Be Updated" message

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi
I have am in the UK and have a UK unbranded and stock SIMFREE SGS. I'm just tring to install Froyo but keep getting the message "The device's version cannot be updated."
I applied RyanZA's One Click Lag Fix a while ago which worked fine and more recently tried updating the registry hack a couple of weeks ago.
Currently the latest Kies xxxx100 says:
Current Version: PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1
I never managed to complete the hack despite adjusting the PC's registry initially to the Scandi version.
My registry editor reads -
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDXEU
Software Revision: I9000XWJM2/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2
HIDSWVER: I9000XWJM2/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2
I believe I uninstalled all the OCLF tools and then uninstalled the OCLF program itself.
Am I missing something?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. (also posted on Android Forums)
Got the same problem... yesterday used dakine method [ sorry can't give link i'm new user >< ] , and today Kies updated but can't update Phone... The reason i think is PDA JM2 version cause PHONE got JM1 and CSC too..
I had same message before i updated Kies to latest version.. after that i got back standart "latest fw version" message
Everytime i had this "cannot update" message.. there was kies update
My script checking firmware stopped working as well. That's because Samsung changed their protocol. That way applications using old protocol can not see updates. You need to have the newest Kies (assuming it's available in your country).

I'm pretty convinced it was the reg hack that never actually worked at play. Can I change it back to my original UK simfree settings as this would be an odler version of firmware than on the phone? If so, what are the settings, as I was originally on JF3?

In case it does, just close Kies, remove all entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/ and start Kies again.
I had the same issue coz my CSC was TMU despite my PC being I9000HDKXEU.
The only branding on my phone was the CSC as it was the first batch from T-Mobile. After a quick downgrade of Kies and a req hack I got the update.
I updated Kies again and now it shows I have the latest update So all updates from now on will not require the hack.
Happy Days
Agreed. To follow up, did the downgrade and reinstalled older Kies. Changed the registry settings and let Kies do its stuff. About 30 mins later, Froyo successfully installed.
Thanks for help guys.
mine says cannot be updated. i've never had any reg hack (and i don't want any) a my fw is JM8. should i downgrade to JM1? my product code is GT-I9000HKDXEZ
I downgraded to official jm1 and was then able to upgrade via kies.

DAMN...... Just tried to update the phone is not responding.
Kies downloaded the update and started to do the Upgrade.
It got about 5% (looking at the bar) into the update when it froze... The phone switched off, the bars not moved and it's been like that for the past 30mins.
HELPPPP.

Upgrading question

Hello,
I'm new here, but I have surfed through the fourm alot before I joined, seems really helpful.
I have one quick question with upgrading.
I have a Galaxy S i9000 Australia, I flashed my phone with the JVK firmwire without bootloaders.
I regretted flashing however, my phone isn't damaged yet, but when the offical Gingerbread is released, is it okay to flash from where I am? (Flash to JVB)
I don't have Download Mode since it was deactivated after the flash, but I will install if it's safe and I'm given a green light. (I don't want to mod my phone anymore after this)
Thanks and I will contribute to this fourm more
Also, after flashing to JVB, will Samsung Kies able to detect my firmwire version that way I can upgrade safely from Kies?

No Kies only detects correct branded product code firmware does not upgrade unofficial firmware .
Might be worth reading the OZ post on here as its more country and network specific .

I think to get official gingerbread you should reflash to your original network. How did updating to JVB break your download mode?
Quoting JJE - No Kies only detects correct branded product code firmware does not upgrade unofficial firmware .
I know that, but since the JVB is the legit and JVK is baseband on Kies, if I manually flash to that firmware, will Kies pick it up?
Quoting STE - I didn't flash to JVB just yet, JVK "Broke" my download mode somehow, I did install the non-bootloaders which I heard deactivates it.

No as neither tie in to correct phone codes as supplied with your phone that Kies needs to find matching firmware .The firmware you loaded is what's called stock that is its not a from Samsung delivery method .
Stock Samsung base firmware passed to the networks to brand etc . Network then uploads the firmware to Kies .
Kies then searches your phone for a matching product code hardware id and firmware id
PC xxxx OPUS hardware XXXX Opus Firmware 2.2.1
Stock does not match the codes so Kies has no upgrade for it .

Upgrade to JVH with Kies 2.0 help

Hi everyone.
My phone is on froyo JPY.I installed Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.After that i use Kies reg patch to spoof NEE product code.After that it started to download firmware and it says this device cannot be updated.
Any idea?

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.

Kies detect your location and your fw release version, i tried matching the fw and my pc region but still no luck.

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?
I have the same problem here

Kies on T-Mobile Galaxy Tab?

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.
