Hi everyone
Few days ago when I entered Kies to see if there are any updates for my firmware there was a message there's a new update so I installed it via Kies.
On the other hand, when I checked at the same time through the settings of the device I was told that I have the latest firmware.
My question is why is it?
Why the OTA service told me that I have the latest firmware and at the same time the Kies told me there is a new update.
Is there a problem with the rom?
I must say I have the BTU stock rom but I'm not from England, but from Israel.
Do I need to be from England to get the OTA?
Thanks in advance
No. I'm from Israel and I've got same thing. Same thing with Galaxy S3. AFAIK, there was always a discrepancy between OTA and OKIES updates.

So you mean that OTA updates always come with delay of few days after Kies?
BTW, you have also the BTU stock rom?
I wouldn't know about days, but I've never had the same update be available via both routes.
Also, I've got the EMJ9 RIM, but mine is downloaded manually, since my phone is rooted. Long story short, before I manually installed 4.3, I updated via Kies (after which my phone failed to boot, allegedly since it was rooted).

Anyway, you say next time I can even not check for Kies and the update will arrive through OTA to my device sooner or later after it is released via Kies, right?
I wouldn't count on it. While I regularly check via OTA just for the fun of it. But mostly every time I ever updated was via Kies, rather than OTA.

Yeah but you said it will arrive eventually to both - Kies and OTA. Just Kies will arrive earlier.
No, what I said is that as far as I know there is a difference in time, between when the updates arrive to Kies and OTA. I'm quite sure the update will arrive OTA too, but that could be a week, or that could be a few months, that I can't tell you :-\

Finland, new Kies version. No firmware update -- still same offering: PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV3 (NEE)
I really hope they will give us something new. Like GTalk 2 with video support
I got the new Kies on Monday. In my experience that sometimes predates an Android update, which was promised for the end of September.
If you guys aren't using Odin, you may want to give it a try.
Once I learned about how to use Odin, I couldn't go back to Kies ever again...

I've used Odin and tried all the custom ROMs. I decided I prefer to keep it stock. Waiting for OTA updates to kick in though...

I'm on stock currently myself. You don't need Odin for custom ROMs, there's plenty of stock already on samfirmware.com.
Kies already bricked my i9000m twice using Samsung official firmware. Samsung's response was that the firmware wasn't available for my area yet. I told them that Kies gave me the green light, and their response was still the FW wasn't approved yet. That was a PITA to get resolved.
Samfirmware.com has firmwares (including stock) that many have tried, and Odin takes the tedious waiting out too. Between waiting and 2 bricked phones from Kies, I am done with Kies forever!...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Hmm, Samfirmwares may be stock but not necessarily official releases. I don't trust Kies although I've never had a really bad experience using it. I just want OTA updates like I used to have on my Nokia 4 years ago!

There's a few that are 100% official. The rest are stock waiting for carriers to chop them up.
Honestly the only thing that you are waiting for is carrier bloatware.
BTW I used to be a Nokia e71/72 user myself...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Luckily mine is carrier-free. Discerning the "final official" roms and installing them whilst retaining my current set up is what concerns me. Like I said, petitioning for OTA updates.
It would be best to work like google chrome browser auto update. It downloads the update, and next time you start it it installs. No questions asked... no time wasted... Always the newest firmware. OTA of course. It could work on android. Downloads update, waits for restart. When restarted if battery >60% installs. Piece of cake...

Now I'm on JVS STOCK+ v1.5 and with this new Kies version , when I plug the phone and open the Kies, the message displayed is:

Kies works ok but this message didn't apears in the old Kies version.
Lol
Samfireware.com does carry stock Samsung roms (it is not an official Samsung site) and they aren't official releases.
I have the 2.3.5 update from there and it is noticably quicker that the official 2.3.3. That being said kies detects the new version and says that its not official and that the upgrade service is not available for non-official versions. If samsung release an official update I might flash back to and older version then update through kies if I really had to which is no drama.

I noticed today the UK Samsung site has full instructions for OTA updates, which they call FOTA, for Firmware Over The Air.
The instructions were posted just after the last official update in August. Hopefully a sign that OTA is on the way.

Guys, i need some help/tips about updating my Firmware. I have a samsumsung GT-I9000 with Android 2.2 (Froyo). I know that there is a newer version (2.3 or so).
I downloaded Samsung Kies but on the general information screen it doesn´t give me the option to update the firmware version, it is only showing me my firmware version (not the latest version available, neither the chance of updaiting it).
I have tryed to install the Kies in differents PCs and I had the same issue.
My GF has a Samsung 5500 (Samsung Galaxy Europe) with Android 2.1, and we had the same problem trying to (or not having the chance to) update the firmware.
My first option is to try with Kies as it is an official source (I don´t want to have troubles with the warranty), but if it is not possible let me know any other way to update our phones.
I will really appreciate any help.
Cheers,
It sounds as if your SGS is tied to a carrier, in which case you are dependent on them for their version of the upgrade.
I would contact them first. If you get no joy there your only option is to "unlock" the phone from that carrier, thus enabling Kies to give you the generic upgrade.
This is what I did. I was locked to o2, here in the UK. Upon unlocking I get the latest generic update via Kies as soon as it becomes available, which is months before o2.
Is the 4.1.1 update not OTA? I tried OTA and it says no update is available.
So I take it the only way to update to 4.1.1 is using Samsung Kies?

That depends on what model you have, but yes you can update using Kies or download from SamMobile

the 3100 and 3110 (depending on regions) have begun to recieve official OTA's but NOT the 3113, we just have to wait and see or take the risk and flash whats here in the development threads that they say works for the 3113.

I tried that non-official-OTA last night and did not have good results...
I tried restoring with Kies,but that didn't work.
So, I had to download the stock 4.0.4 image and flash with Odin.
All is well now. But, I will definitely wait out JB - or root - haven't decided fully.
there is also this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885878 I believe its based off the same unreleased (possible OTA) but it's had all the "basics" done to it, like rooting, deodexing and stuff like that, that is standard treatment to ALL Custom ROMS.

Really???
Samsung already announced it, and there already is a test build on SamMobile so why the negativity? Samsung never announces OTA dates. Seeing they have delivered most of the P3100 countries the official P3113 won;t be far behind if you really have to wait for the official.

My bad for not reading all posts in detail, as I go follow a free forums so 'scim' when entering a new thread. Did not realize third post was original poster and as 5th was about 5110, I did not realize this was a 3113 only thread. Apologies . Maybe I'd we ask a moderator nicely they can delete the 5110 related replies and then we can get the op title changed to include 3113

Not sure about 3113, as I have 5110, but if you check the device status of the tab (settings - about - status) and it does not say modified, then you should get ota when it is available
I think it only says modified if you flashsd custom rom, but I may be wrong. You should be able to use triangle away to drop flash counter to 0 (it worked on my 5110)

No prob . Actually I think those first three letters refer to the different country codes for the N5110 firmwares, not another model of the Note like the N5120 (the one with the modem). Different countries or regions may have their own variations and features for a particular model, like our N5110.

Just a quick note. This updated version does seem to resolve the freezing issues I had with the update over a week ago. I only found out there was an update when I connected the Note 8 to my Mac and waited for 10 minutes while KIES tried to find it (who wrote that software!!!). KIES eventually said there was an update so I tried to download it but it was taking ages so I tried on the Note 8 and it download immediately (at 56Kbps modem speed).
FYI : it is a UK international Note 8 used in Spain.

Just an FYI, I plugged in my phone to Kies fully expecting it to say it could not update because it had been modified... but no. It updated to latest build as if it were not rooted. It killed root (of course), but ... And the process took MUCH less time than last update I did.
Its updated rooted phones for as long as I've known. Its in "understanding the basics before rooting" in the updates section.
OTA will not update though. Again,.in the basics thread

I read everywhere that the Note II was updated to Android version 4.3 - all the US carriers.
I own the international version, GT-N7100 (imported by newegg.com from UK). I purchase it because I didn't want to wait for the US carriers to procrastinate with their updates. I thought that having a version that Samsung directly updates will be more prompt.
Here we are, forth week of January 2014 and I still have version 4.1.2
I wonder why is Samsung not updating the GT-N7100 to version 4.3.
It's surprising to notice that not too many people complain....

Well guys if you're in such a hurry to update (I completely understand - because I was too) then just flash with Odin. Download ROM for your country from Sam mobile and flash it! I did it couple of times because I couldn't wait for OTA (and OTAs wouldn't work anyway becasuse I was rooted)...

It's pretty much not in their business interests to give the latest updates to their phones. Otherwise people would not upgrade or change their devices every year.
"Need 4.4.2? Oh, you'll have to get a Note 3. sure, we'll give you updates in the future. Didn't say immediate future, Did we?"
