Hi Vortex46,
Have you tried, reflashing the firmware using Kies?

Hi Vortex,
Use the Emergency Recovery Option in Kies. This should download the firmware & then upload it on your device. You will lose all the data so backup before you perform this action.
This should resolve the issue.

Hey guys, i recently bought my GS2 from 02. I am on the original firmware and have not updated to KE1 or KE2. I recently downloaded the latest version of Kies and plugged in my device. All the drivers were successfully installed and i could sync all my music fine.
I plugged the device in yesterday and it said latest firmware (KE2) was available. i said yes, backed up my device, and said started downloading. Once the firmware was downloaded it said preparing device for download.
Now is when the error message - 'FirmWare update stopped working' (on vista 32bit)
so anyone had this problem or know how to fix this?
i am not rooted or anything just stock
Its nothing with being rooted or anything else wrong with your device.. The problem is with Kies, it hangs sometimes.. Trying again, might help you..

Or bother Samsung so they make Kies better. Goes like this: call them, say "Bother, bother, bother, bother"
Nah but still, contact them
I found Kies works much better on my netbook running windows XP 32bit than on my desktop running windows 7 64bit. If you have a windows xp PC you can use, I would suggest you give that a try.
I will contact them, also because im using o2 firmware i dont think i can flash using odin or can i?

You need to turn of your anti virus when updating with kies . the anti virus will delete a file half way.though update. so turn it off
AV and Firewall OFF .
Factory reset phone if you can
Kies no update try emergency firmware recovery if problems .
I will contact them, also because im using o2 firmware i dont think i can flash using odin or can i?
Flash with Odin if its a stock Samsung rom then O2 can refuse warranty Samsung will hour the warranty ..

Thanks guys! turning the firewall did the trick and i am now on the latest firmware
So what are the major differences? I heard that the Auto-Brightness issue had been fixed (although my brightness is always set manually).
OH DAMN IT! The uninstalling problem still remains. whenever i go into manage applications and try and uninstall something it says 'The application market (processcom.android.vending.) has stopped unexpectadly. Please try again'
and it says uninstall finished but once i reboot its still there. I also cant install stuff from the market anymore after that message appears! I also cant get on the internet it makes me force close.
I have to reboot to get the internet working again... this really sucks anyone know why?
The final step would be to try a full hard reset of the phone but that would wipe everything on it so worth saving as a last resort.
As a first step have you tried going into
Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All tab, selecting Market and press ing the Clear data and Clear cache buttons, just in case there's something in there that's causing a problem ?

About the root im gonna wait until the guy has the kernel for KE2 which he said would be around the 23rd. And about the first link... why all the codes? i cant find a code with a full reset :?
You can use the current insecure kernel with KE2.
You install KE2 (of course), install the insecure KDD kernel via ODIN, root and install superuser via SuperOneClick then finally flash back the stock KE2 kernel.
The rooting works fine even after flashing back the stock KE2 kernel.

so i just follow chainfires guide as it is and basically once ive finished everything just flash back the KE2 he supplied? that sounds great i will do that.
one quick question though my phone is O2 branded.. does that affect rooting in anyway?
Seems there's a new kies update in town that launched today.
And what?
Do I get cookies when I install it?

It's just a way for Samsung to remind you that they don't have your ICS update.

Having the same issue
where is linkd DUS?
New update for Kies and again the same issues. After installation the software is unable to detect the phone, although Windows do. I really don't want to blame developers inside Samsung, but it seems to me, that they don't pay much attention for this software.
underline: Kies seems to be the only software I know, that can't use the Windows 7 resize feature (windows key + any arrow). This is really ridiculous considering fact, that Win 7 are on the market for more than year.
So guys good luck, while updating
Yesterday when I opened Kies, it shows there is one update. I tried to upgrade with Kies itself. But failed. so I downloaded it from Samsung website and installed it, automatically it uninstalled my previous version. But now I'm facing a problem. Kies is not starting. One time it started, and shown windows encountered an error. until now Kies is not opening, I'm using windows 7.
I tried to uninstall it and re install the old version, but still it is not opening. what to do?
Kies version installed is 2.2.0.12014_18_8
Yep I'm another one
Kies keeps telling me there's an update and downloads and installs it but when it restarts it hasn't actually installed it and guess what there's an update available grrrrr

best option would be to remove kies completely from your system.also remove your samsung drivers from add/remove programs.once you've done that install ccleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds to clean your registry of any remaining bits and bobs.then re-install kies hopefully that should help.
For me the Kies update has done something strange but very useful
Last week I put the UK 3 mobile version of ICS onto my unbranded GS2 and before the Kies update I got the usual message that firmware cannot be updated via Kies.
Now, with this updated Kies it's happy to check the firmware of my GS2 (Telling me I'm on the latest version), even though I'm using a different brand of firmware than was originally on the phone (Was XEU, now H3G)
H
Same pb here, keeping update without any sucess
Reinstalled drivers via Kies, rebooted PC and it is worse than before...
So whenever ICS rolls out (said to be in few days), I will be maybe unable to update.... great

This software is crap.
Keys Update ver 2.3.0.12035_16 date 5th Apr 2012
Kies tried to update and then once again. First time it did not update. And it started again. And once again! But it stayed back with 2.1.11124_17. Wondering where the downloads went! Please let me know if Kies update to ver 2.3.0.12035_16 worked with anyone.

Hello everyone
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 with stock 4.3 android of BTU (MJ7).
I entered today Kies to check for updates (like I do every few days) and I got a message my device got a newer firmware.
OK so I clicked on update and accepted the terms and started the update.
At first it wrote "Downloading firmware upgrade components" and right after it showed the error "Failed to run firmware upgrade.Unknown error occurred."
I googled the problem and I tried already resetting the computer and the device, re-installing Kies3 and re-installing the USB drivers. Nothing helped.
Moreover, when I check for updates through the device settings it says I have the latest firmware.
My Knox flag is 0x0 and the device status is written as official.
I don't have any other computer to check.
So what is the problem and how to solve it?
Is my computer at fault? Or the device? Or Samsung's servers?
And why when I check through device settings it says I have already the latest firmware?
Thanks in advance
OK I solved the issue by disabling the Avast antivirus.
My only question now is why the OTA service said I have the latest firmware at the same time that Kies offered me an update?

Rule #1 Never update via KIES unless you don't know what are you doing...
KIES is for backup (what I never use) but all you need from them is samsung drivers... that's it

After searching the internet with the same problem I got so many responses some saying don't use kies, while others say kies is the way to go I decided to visit the Samsung website to see what they say about this particular error.
I had put in the link that will take you directly but am not yet allowed to do that as a new user.
anyway on the Samsung website I selected my mobile model etc till I got to a page where I got 2 options one to upgrade through kies or upgrade through fota. I chose kies. you will then see where it tells you to download the kies software. I had kies but I still took the choice to download.
during the download and installation process it will notice that u already have kies on your pc so it will ask you to remove these, you must agree to remove. from there just follow all the instructions, it worked my gt-s5830 has been updated from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3
hope this helps
if anyone has any issues with updating your mobile on kies, ensure your anti virus is off and you run the program as an administrator...it gave me hell on earth for hours.
used kies on windows 7
hope this helps
Hello gurus,
I had rooted NH3 ROM on my device. I flashed the latest NH6 (INU) ROM through Odin. But even after flashing the stock ROM, device status still shows the custom though I have lost my root permissions and recovery is also stock. Moreover, I can not switch on my wifi at all.
Please help as soon as possible.
If You Download NH6 from sammobile firware It have bug In wifi . but if You update By Phone from NH3 to Nh6 It have not any promblem about wifi
I did the same as you and got pi**ed off, restored my NG8 nandroid backup, end!
It seems like we force a foreign firmware into the device, that's why it doesn't function well I guess!
Dude just go into about phone and give
Software update and it will register ur phone and ur phone will be official again
Update: Flashed the firmware again with "Nand Erase All' option checked in Odin and after installation had to reset the device. Everything works fine now including Wifi and device status is official. Great!!

Well, that didn't help. Because the device status was showing as 'Custom' so was not able to get OTA updates. Kies didn't help either. It downloaded the official firmware but after that there was the message that device is not recognised. Anyway, it's now solved. Thanks for your reply.
