Singapore new FW alert from Kies

I am currently of DXJG4. Plugged in to Kies today and it says there is a new firmware to upgrade. Could it be the frozen yoghurt?

What is the FW name ??

Yeah what is it

Not kies. There's a page popup that says upgrade will wipe data blah blah. Have to check agree to proceed. But it did not say name of fw. Will upload screen shot when I get home tonight

I did not get that... What is your kies version. Kies is really nonsense to begin with.

Singapore, SingTel, DXJG4, Kies 10093_81, No update available.

Okay, below is what I see when I click on the upgrade firmware button. As you can see, it didn't state what's the name or version of the FW. I really dun want to upgrade if it's not froyo as I am very happy with my current JG4. If anyone in Singapore (Singtel) tried, please let me know what FW is it.

The screenshot doesn't reveal anything about the firmware. You have to proceed to where it shows your current firmware and the firmware it wants to upgrade to. Don't worry, you won't upgrade the firmware untill you tell it to on that screen.
Regards

Apologies all. When I clicked upgrade, it goes on to tell me I already have the latest firmware ... BTW, I have never seen that screen before. Previously it will straightaway take me to the screen that shows the FW version. Really pai seh..

[Q] where is my official JJ3 -> JJ7 upgrade?

My current device info:
GT-P1000
PDA:JJ3
PHONE:JID
CSC:JJ2
Unbranded, stock firmware, rooted, but then unrooted. Bought in Norway.
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

Thank you for your reply.
But others already got this way back in november(?!) Did samsung pull it for some reason? Or is it all just bull? All I can find is a thread here on xda and another over at android forums mentioning the jj7.

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.
On my Galaxy S at least I could change the country code to UK Generic (thanks to the registry hack) to get the update faster :-D

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

I picked up a tab from Carphone Warehouse last night, after wrestling with Kies, it finally connected and updated to FROYO.XWJJ7

Same here on 3ireland which is supplied by 3uk. I'm on jj3 detected by kies but it says latest software installed.

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.

Kies is offering new firmware

Guys,
Whoever is in Europe (Nederland) please check, Kies is offering me a new firmware, I am already on 2.2.1. Dont know what it is but I put kies on auto download new firmware for GTI9000 yesterday and I started kies, just now and he is giving new firmware.
Why I dont know version is because kies does not detect my phone on my laptop.
Somebody can check?

id check but im running 2.3.2 jv1 and it wont tell me....

The last firmware is the same as the current firmware, PDA:JS5 Phone:JPY CSC:JS3.
So no gingerbread yet..

Thanks for checking, I dont know, what kies has auto downloaded, till it detects my phone and popping up with new firmware, but ok....

You propably had js3.
Samsubmng stopped that update after a couple days, since a month you can update to js5 instead

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Mine is saying new firmware available, but in Kies it say JP5 is current/latest.

It's kies, so it's probably just a bug.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

I just got the popup too.
I'm already on the newest firmware for my country (js5).
But the weird things is: my phone isn't connected to my computer, but it's connected to my charger and it's off.
Maybe it's just a bug in Kies, or it means we'll get gingerbread really soon

Don't know tried to connect phone in different ways but no luck so far, windows 7 with Kies is a match made in hell. Yesterday it was okay and after kies update, problems again.
New firmware message is popping up when I start kies and I am already on JS5 so its can't be JS3 to JS5 or may be it's indeed a bug, tomorrow I'll try from work pc to see if really there is anything. This kies knew my device as yesterday it shown me no updates.
Smelling gingerbread....or hoping to smell

Is it saying that there is a Firmware update or just a Software update as if you look below there is a post on Kies 2 update for software which would explain why it popped up when the phone was not connected,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003394

Understand your curious doubt but message popup is indeed for for firmware, not kies software update.

Hi there, I'm in The Netherlands and just got the Kies update and firmware update. I gave it a go and now I have a happy non-rooted SGS with Android 2.2.1. Let's see if Sammy can surprise us anytime soon with some gingerbread...
Cheers

The new Kies has two places to look re firmware upgrade. It can auto download the firmware in preparation, Look in Tools/Firmware Upgrade settings and the other place to look is to right click on device name and then Firmware upgrade (if there is not one it will be greyed out)

Re-Roll out of Gingerbread

Anyone in Ireland get the Gingerbread update since its re-roll out on Samsung Kies??
Checking everyday but all I get is you have the latest firmware
Love the phone but pretty pissed off at Samsung with how slow they are to update the phones.

here we are stuck with 2.1 man, so you should consider yourself lucky
really....

its not a re rolout - they use old builds with some branding and new modems
at least that is what i can say about todays uk o2 ginge
that is jvh_jv3_jv2.tar so
good old JVH base (vodaphone had JV9)
JV3 csc i guess thats for uk o2 (vodaphones was JV5)
and some new JV2 modem in opposite to vodaphoneuk JV3
but asian ones seems to be made out of fresher build

There roll-outs are very poor.
I have a Samsung Omnia Windows Mobile 6.5 for years now and its never had an update. My son has the Apollo that he got about 8 months ago and again no updates.

If you're on a branded phone, maybe you should place the blame at your carrier

Well from my limited knowledge, the carrier takes the update and adds their own stuff to the update. The unbranded updates from samsung come out pretty fast.
If it's your carrier you're waiting on, maybe theyre just taking their time

While I did get my phone from the carrier it's not branded. I have put other carrier sims in it and it worked fine. Think they forgot to brand my on.
Anyway with that in mind, it must be unbranded.
Just wish they would a get a move on.

Mine was Meteor (2.2), I'm on Vodafone though, had a hardware problem and sent it off for free through Vodafone shop, got it back with 2.2.1 (JPY) on it, Kieds never gave me the option to update from 2.2, my friend's phones are all stuck on 2.2.
Bought a JIG, read up on Odin and flashed 2.3.3 (JVB)...

Thought about doing the update via odin but wanted to keep to the offical kies updates.
To much of a wimp to take the risk

Temporary Root
Permanent Root
I'm told that I can root and unroot with this app. Has anyone any feed back as I am not knowledgeable in Android whatsoever.
I'd like to root the phone then unroot it to get the Gingerbread update on Keis when it comes out.

I'm in the UK. I keep reading about updates for the galaxy note and a little confused, sorry.
Can somebody tell me if there is an samsung stock update for this phone.
I connect to kies and I'm told that it is not recognised by kies for a update via kies.
Ota just fires back no updates available.
My current software is still at android 2.3.5 baseband version n7000xxkj4.

I changed to DBT still no joy ota, so I tried via kies then it updated to 2.3.6.
Many thanks.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Just to say that this worked for me too on a UK Handtec Note (polish) that shipped with the CSC set to KOR.
XEU, XEO did not allow the downloaded update to be applied and it refused to update via kies 'not supported' message.
CSC Set to DBT still did not allow OTA update, but finally the ruddy thing did update through Kies.
For anyone not getting updates (2.3.6, LA4 etc) on their Note, **check the CSC** if it is set to KOR, you will never ever ever get updates for your Note including ICS when it eventually ships.
You can check the CSC easily. Connect the phone to Kies, and the country code (KOR,XEU,DBT etc) is in brackets at the end of the 'Current Firmware Version' line under 'Firmware Information' in Kies.
This whole setup is ridiculous, I have had a moan at Handtec, since they have shipped devices that for any non geeky user (the 99% of folks out there) will never get the latest firmware, and will be forever stuck on Gingerbread.

I also have not gotten update for this reason. Could you please explain how you changed the code from KOR to XEU I can't seem to find how. I have a stock unrooted phone from handtec.

Well I found it!!!
How to change CSC
1. Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad.
2. Select the CSC that you want.
3. Click Install.
4. Phone will be rebooted by itself.
5. That’s all.
You need to chose XEU for europe/UK
Note: This will wipe all your data so back up first
Make sure to type# after you put in the *#272*imie.

Well I thought it worked but not completely. I did get the phone to show up as a XEU insted of KOR but when the phone started the firmware update it stiops about halfway and gives me this error message "try using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service center" Tried Kies still says no firmware update available. Can anyone help with this? Thank's
