Hello all
My friend is trying to update its Galaxy S2 firmware via Kies.
He connected his device and the Kies backuped the phone, then started to upgrading the FW. But it is stuck for the last 2 hours on 0%
He is using the University Internet connection, which possibly block some file sharing servers, so maybe thats why it is stuck.
Can he dissconect his SGS2 without facing a nasty brick?
if not, is there a way to terminate the upgrade without bricking the phone? or will he face an eternal life within the university campus?
Thanx for the help
If it's stuck at Download process then no problem removing it. If it is stuck at Installation process then it could get bricked. But I think it is stuck at Download process as the download file itself is pretty big, around 300 MB, so it could be unplugged. And before doing it next time make sure no Internet Security or AV is blocking the process and also try with an open ISP.
Regards.

Hi guys
Just installed the new keies software and it said the froyo update was out for my handset (galaxy s) it downloads the update really slow (takes about 20 mins) and then then after it reaches 100% the phone disconnects from the PC and the andriod constuction logo appears on the phone, then shortly after i get an error message from kies telling me the upgrade didnt work and that an emergancy repair is needed..
Ive managed to recover the phone back to working order, but is there anyway i can get this update?
p.s phone was unlocked with the tool from these forums when we had it, if that makes a differance
There are many problems with kies while upgrading the firmware. When you get the error - did you read the error? At times it says something about a "rapi.dll" file missing or any other file, just download that file and it should work.
Best alternative is download the firmware from samfirmware (stock) and flash through odin, it hardly takes any time.
If you want your genuine network supplied firmware i would use the Kies Registry Patcher as this allows you to save the downloaded rom in case of problems .
Failing that as advised the stock rom but that is not what came with the phone its generic non network non branded .

This is not a big deal, just click on emergency when it appears and kies will proceed, it might say that it will download the firmware again or might use the firmware that is already downloaded.
Can somebody point me on kernel for JVQ supporting Voodoo Color? Thanks.
I haven't updated my phone for quite a while, the last update I did was a camera update ages ago.
A few weeks ago I tried to do a firmware update and it failed, so I let it be, but now I really want to update it because it's bugging me.
I just updated Kies.
The current firmware version is: PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
It wants to update me to: :KF3 / :KE7 / KD1 (XEU)
I have no idea what that means, by the way.
I hit next, and yes, and choose not to backup, and tick that box, and then it loses the connection and tells me again 'OH HAI! You can update your phone!' and I'm stuck in a loop.
I'm on Windows 7 on a laptop, I'm in Australia, I bought my phone pretty early on, from the UK. Have not done (and see no reason to do) any rooting or other stuff like that.
Please help?
Make sure the Drivers are correctly installed and you don't have a MTP Error when you connect.
Regards.
How do I know if they're correctly installed or not?
How do know if I have an MTP error? Nothing has come to me saying 'I'm an MTP error!' do I have to go looking for it?
Just Uninstall them from CP and Reinstall them. MTP device error pops up when you connect your device, if you don't have one I guess you are OK with that part.
Regards.
Kies suck! Install stock 2.3.4 jvr ot doesn't requires root amd all that stuff!

Kies seems to have major problem with laptops .

Make sure your phone is fully charged - I mean 100%.
I've had Kies flake out on me like that (with no error message or anything) because the phone's battery was only at like 97%.
Very annoying
Hi all.. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 gt p7500 one month old, and I saw that there is finally an update to ICS. I still dont got it try mobile netowork (t-mobile - Macedonia), so i read that I can update thru kies. The problem is, I cannot connect mu tab to kies??? I dont have an USB option on Wireless and Networks and it connects in MTP mode. Is there any way to fix this problem and if not, how can I update my tablet to stock version of ICS in some other way? Please help...
Regards
It sucks that kies won't work now that ics is out. I'm having trouble updating mine as well.
Kies is not a product
I have tried for almost a year now to get my tab recognised by Kies, but only a factory reset will get Kies to recognise my tablet. The moment I install my own software on it again that disappears.
Kies via Wifi has no firmware upgrade option, sad to say, so best wait for OTA upgrade.
I am waiting too for the OTA as that POS named Kies is not working for me. But it is coming, just be a little more patient. It is rolling out in the US, maybe even in Canada. The rest of Europe will follow, or you can download from samfirmware.com, and do it over USB via Odin (lots of threads covering that)...
Best of luck!
I did a reset in anticipation of the update and was able to do the update through Kies
with no problem.
I had 2 Galaxy 10.1, one of them could only connect wireless for update, not with Kies, the other one could not update OTA, only with Kies... and to connect I had to reset the device, Kies is really worth nothing...
One of the reasons why I am only using custom ROM
I fought with it for a couple hours last night, and finally resorted to a factory wipe. Then it was fine. Just means a few hours of reinstalling and configuring widgets, but still annoying as hell that after 2 years Kies doesn't work with 3.2 stock rom.

It's far worse: I could never connect to Kies. One day I just wanted to test connecting to Kies, so I did a Backup with Titanium Backup and then a factory reset. Thereafter I could connect without any issues. So I restored all settings - user and system data with everything! - from my TB and expected not to be able to connect after doing that. But oh wonder! I still could connect to Kies!
But about a week later it was again like before: No connection to Kies :silly: That was the last time I started the software on my PC :cyclops:
After the update, and after I updated the apps that are included with the tab, and after I reinstalled all of my apps,
I tied Kies again. Tab connected wih no problems.
Looks like that's one of the things fixed in ICS.
From what I gathered from the internet and other forums the problem with Kies apparetly is that if there is a file with a filename that kies doesn't like, it won't connect. The big problem is find that file or files

That is my understanding too. But when I remove all non-essential files (i.e. "personal" files) from the system it still did not work... So it must be one of the files related to a product.
To find out which one (or which ones...) will take a lot of time, and I do not want to spend that much time on a POS product like Kies... So for now I will wait for the OTA update, or the end of August 2012, whatever comes first. If it still is not there at the end of this month I will go to one of the custom ROMs, and never look back.
XDA is no longer worth my time.

It doesn't have to connect to Kies in order to do the update. Mine didn't.
Put it in download mode, have Kies running, connect the cable and run the Firmware upgrade and initialization from the tools menu.

That IS an interesting concept. Never thought that might work. I have given up, surrendered to Kies, reset the GTab, got Kies working, but alas, no update here in Canuck Territory... So all for naught!
I will try your approach on the other GTabs I've got...
Thanks for the tip!
-- EDIT --
Guess what? When running Firmware upgrade and initialization I get the message: "'GT-P7510' does not support initializing."
And that is all I can do, no upgrade via that path possible...
I did a factory data reset and upgraded to ICS via wi-fi. And my 7510 was still rooted

Could you tell us more on your phone. The version of firmware before, which root method you use, which stock version of firmware you install via odin, etc...

Today I did a factory reset of my phone after it started getting a little bit slow. I connected my Samsung account and downloaded the backup I saved previously before trying to upgrade to Marshmallow, but now, every time I try to update manually, I get the "processing" failed error. This is the first time it has happened, since I managed to download the Marshmallow update normally last year.
I've been googling for hours in an attempt to find out what I had done (wrong), because I'd rather not manually flash it myself since I'm afraid of messing it up. I thought it could be a conflict of the model which was published in Asia, and me living in Europe, but since I managed to update it normally once, I don't see how that could be a problem all of a sudden.
I apologize if a thread like this has been made, but I've really searched all over the Internet and could not find a way to resolve the issue. Could it be something related to my Samsung account? I can normally log into all Samsung services after having reset the password yesterday, via PC and phone, but when I try to update the software, I get the error repeatedly.
