Kies FirmWare update

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..

Once i click uninstall it says comandroid.vending stopped working and the market crashes. then as as soon as i hit OK TW launcher also force stops so basically my phone is crippled and i have to reboot it... i really dont know whats going on!! it was fine for the past week

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 ..

Sorry couldn't resist

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 ?

I just tried that, and then this time when i tried uninstalling the TW launcher force closed! now i have to reboot or i cant even use the phone. I would probably do a full hard reset of the phone... How can i do that? using kies?

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?

Problems going back to stock

Hi,
Was running CM11 on my GS4. I want to go completely back to stock however I'm hitting issues with it.
Downloaded the 02UK firmware file from Samware, flashed it in Odin, did a wipe before and after. Takes a while to boot in each time, sometimes needs a battery pull etc.
Now, I can load up fine - however no matter what I try, wifi won't turn on, a lot of the time signal will drop/ turn off when I lock the screen. Have tried flashing 4.2.2 as well, exactly the same and on the latest flash noticed as issue with the recovery, won't allow a data wipe/ partition in recovery, just flashes something red and then reboots.
I know this has probably been asked a milion times before. But hoping someone can help me get back to stock without the issues!
Thanks in advance.

Your having a signal issue because you need to flash a diffetent modem mate. And that should fix ur problem on signal issue . Do you mind booting into download mode and check if iy say the entry knox warranty void. Thanks
Sent from Hell ?

Currently 4.2.2 as I read the 4.3 update had caused some of these issues (although I want to be on stock 4.3.
I did notice after I posted that the baseband was for German phones (no idea how that got on there). So I flashed the a new modem and baseband is now at I9505XXUEMK8 which is supposed to be the correct one (if not please advise!?). However Wifi still not working. Tried the wifi fix file for the baseband, didn't work, also tried the root /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant rename fix. Didn't work.
Are you able to tell me which Stock Rom/ Modem etc to flash or anything else to try??
Thanks in advance!

Try to find the right Stock rom from here that base in your country mate and flash it via odin . Like i told you if you boot into download mode and check if there is knox void warranty? If you dont have that flash inly 4.2.2 stock rom but if you see that then feel free to flash a stock 4.3

Ok - So I have flashed the UK 4.3 BTU rom (Jss15J.I9505XXUEMKF) and have a baseband of I9505XXUEMK8 (which was the O2 one). Signal is fine no issues etc.
Still Wifi won't turn on though.
What do I need to do for this bit??
EDIT: As per your last post, I have no idea about Knox? I didn't see anything show up on download mode.
It also doesn't seem to be working now. The rom crashes when calls are received and wont dial etc. Ok - so should I go back and install the earliest 4.2.2 Rom version for 02 as the phone came with? Then update through OTA?

Well I told you if you dont have an Entry of Knox Warranty Void when you boot into download mode then flash the 4.2.2 Stock rom :S But you already flashed the 4.3 so you can no longer downgrade to 4.2.2 ... Can you please Dial *#1234# and write it down somewhere . and then Download this Wifi Fix and flash it Via odin and After reboot still did not work then Try to download and extract this file and Flash the .tar Via odin by selecting Phone/CP And if this file did not work after flashing then please feel free to play one of the wifi fix from Here Start's from MK9 until MKE might fix your issue.

Thanks for the help Repulsa. Will try that shortly and let you know the results!
EDIT - What about the Rom issues itself? I haven't had a chance to test everything, but I can't make calls. It calls the person but the screen freezes blank and then flickers. Should I reinstall the rom first or use another?

IMEI is the same, except for an extra /1 on the end?? Rest as follows;
AP I905XXUEMKF
CP I9505XXUEMK8
CSC I9505BTUEMK5
Tried everything from you earlier post except going through the final wifi fix versions. Nothing has worked so far though....

I'm in pretty much the boat.... I was using Omega ROM 4.3 but wanted to go back to Stock unrooted firmware.
I flashed Stock 4.3 (XXUEMKF to be precise - both Baseband and Build) using Odin 3.04
Now I cant turn wifi on
When I go into Download mode I dont have any KNOX lines and my Binary is Custom not stock!!!
Don't want to mess things up anymore than I already have by trying to flash everything under the sun!!!!
Back to using my faithful Note 2 for the time being then I guess!!!

Quick FYI and correction -
Hard Brick = Won't power on or do anything.
Soft Brick = Can still access the device - bootloop/power up/bootloader/recovery.

Did You ever tried a full wipe several times before and after flashing?

Post some more information.
1. Where did you buy the phone
2. PDA/CSC/Baseband
3. IMEI still displayed as a number or is it null/null
4. Do you have EFS, FSC, and FSG backups
5. Which stock rom(s) did you flash
It sounds to me as though you have been flashing the wrong stock rom for your device. The behaviour you describe sits in line with that.

i bought it From official Samsung Shop, and it was running like normal before this problem.
IMEI is ok, not showing null or anything like that.

Okey you need to get EFSBackupPro and use it to backup efs and fsc and fsg partitions. Just Google it and you will find a link to the thread here on xda.
After that you need to tell us what is the phone model. Look at my signature to see what a model looks like.
I think you flashed the wrong stock ROM. We need to find out which model phone you have so we can link you to the correct n9005 stock ROM.
You must make efs backup first. You can lose your imei and I have not seen a working method to fix the phone if that happens.

Efsbackuppro has bricked Note 3's previously. I wouldn't advise it.

I have the exact same problem and I think it's a hardware problem. This was happening to me yesterday and is not related to software. I think it's the sound IC or dac.

After flashing stock rom, do FULL WIPE using recovery.
You did not mention doing it.

I did this and no change. As I mentioned I don't think this is a software problem. I did remove cameras and usb charging port even the upper hedfone port and is the same behaviour. One of the iC is malfunction . I did stop everything that is related to sound and I use now my phone as a tablet with no sound and recording capabilities.

After I was looking over schematic of motherboard and online for similar hardware defect I think is the audio codec IC WCD9320 that need to be re-balled or replaced. On the MB it has the the code U707. I will try this tommorow.

CHECK
I did not seen any Note 3 with full sound hardware bullit , but I faced to not have sound when I flashed a different firmware and I tryed t update trough ODIN to the last firmware nf3 nf4 TRY THAT AND put your news here , DON'T TRY TO OPEN YOUR PHABLET DOES NOT HAVE PRB AND ALSO SAMSUNG INFO app from play... you will se your hardware is ok and also your sound codecs )::)) ODIN 3.07 is the most stable >LAST FIRMWARE (UPGRADE) PROBABLY TO TRY INSERT YOUR CSC AND PIT Country files ( AREA CODE for example XEO mine )

I did reheat al the components on the main board. Nothing happened. But... i did reflash (as a last try)with mobile odin the last build from south est of Europe and miracle happened is up and working well.

Hi,
Search for modem that from your region and install it via ODIN/Custom recovery, or restore your EFS backup.

Whatever happens to the phone, if the phone turns on, doesnt have any hardware issue it can be revived.
The universal method is flashing stock firmware through odin
Download your country's note 4 firmware from sammobile and flash it through odin
Works most of the time

The same occurred for my LG G3 D855 which has erased its IMEI just for trying 'restore upgrade errors' in the LG mobile support tool. From that onwards I have firmly decided not to flash manually in any way except when official upgrades / uupdates are released via KIES or via OTA update.
Please do not flash by your own as it is always risky. It is not a PC where you can take out the affected hard disk and fix it in a working PC and backup the data.
To all manual flashing persons :
If your phone succeeds in manual flashing, donnot brain wash others to do the same. Not all persons always do R & D in android like you.

Thanks for the reply but the main problem is that any OTA that comes to note 4 i download them and the device says to restart to recovery to install the Update and i say yes but when it goes to recovery the recovery wont function well since it shows dm-verity error and supported API : 3 the update process fails to complete . My imei is as cool as always i havent had a problem with IMEI since i bought the phone

at least 10000 people have note 4 and none has had the problem ???? REALLY ?
seems like im pretty f***ed up

Hi, i used to had that problem too, when i first flash a custom rom to my N910G i back up my stock rom.. everthing including EFS.. after that then i wipe everything like normal procedure when u flash a rom. till then 1 day i wanna go back to stock rom i accidentally ticked EFS while i wanna restore that stock rom back up and then i thought it was nothing serious until i flash stock rom with odin and when i boot into stock recovery that dm-verity message was shown, did so much research but no luck. my n910G was on a Singapore firmware, that time it had a update i just try my luck by downloading the latest SG firmware and then that message was gone! m now already on MM no problems like that anymore
