I'm running JI6 which I got through Kies mini 2 months ago.
Now, I just clicked the KMini icon on my laptop and it says it's D/Ling a new version.
The old version was1.0.0.? something something? ...95
this new version is : 1.0.0.10104_1
What is up with this? Does this mean there is an update to my Vibrant or to the kies software itself? It says to plug in my phone but I'm hoping for advice first.
What happens if I do plug it in?
Thanks guys.
That was simply an update to Kies Mini and it could mean anything from a bug fix in the Kies software to getting it ready for pushing new updates. I noticed this update a little while before JK6 was leaked.

Where did you download kies mini from. When I go to samsungs site to download kies mini, it asks which model number vibrant I have, there are like 4 vibrant models to choose from. What do we in USA on T-Mobile use?
its not that new, been there for at least 45 days
Okay, thanks guys. Any idea what happens if I plug my phone into it again? Like, how big will the explosion be?

SV, I linked to it from here at XDA. I think it was in the Tips & Tricks sticky. It worked great for me. (This was after the OTA update wiped me out & I went & got a new phone...) But now, I don't see it there anymore. I have both kies and kies mini. They both worked fine for me; mini for the JI6 and regular kies for all kinds of other stuff.
Here's the link to the big kies I used if anyone wants it...
http://www.all-samsungphones.com/samsung-vibrant-t959-kies-and-pc-sync-download.html/
It seemed to work well. But the xda thread said to uninstall it before installing mini, so I did. Might reinstall... Big program though...

I've have to US T-Mo Vibrant, and never received an OTA update. Any way to force update. I can't get Kies Mini to recognize my phone. Even after USB debugging. Ideas? Still running JFD in both.
Have you tried manually installing the USB drivers and using Odin?

Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed and yes you can force the update manually by using ODIN.
Let me know if you need help finding the drivers. or updating the rom.
Kies only works with stock launcher .if your using a custom launcher it wont work..

I never used kies but Odin is painless.

There is a few post in development that contain the "official" T-Mo update. As far as Kies goes, my educated guess is you do not have the Samsung drivers installed. Also in the Development section is the "bible" that is pretty curent, it's basically has all the info you will need. Ji6 update, Odin, instructions, proper drivers ect... a MUST read for all newcomers IMHO.

Post back if you need anything else.
make sure you go to the usb settings in your phone and select kies mode and you need to be using touchwiz in order for it to work

I was on the same boat as you. Never got an OTA update. Contacted tmobile online and said to use my sim card in a different phone and make like a 2-3 min call. After that, put it back in your Vibrant and should notify you in 24-48 hrs. That didn't work so I spoke to a different rep and sent me to a Kies site (even though the first rep said it wasn't recommended). I just used Kies Mini.
What step are you stuck at? I got it working through Kies Mini, but it took a lot of trial and error. Did you take out your micro sdcard before plugging in? Read the small print at bottom of the Kies Mini Guide if your phone doesn't recognize on your pc.
okay so i just got back from school, and froyo was released! so i odined back to stock, connected phone to kies, it downloaded some drivers, then... it just keeps saying "CONNECTING DEVICE" so it didn't work...
Is there a way to fix that?
Also, is there like a flashable rom for froyo 2.2 yet? kies isn't working as i said... thanks
and sorry this is another one of those help me with froyo threads, i couldn't find help with PMing some people.
i would like to kno how to get the ota update! cuz i havent received it =/
i know how! yay
to the guy above me,
this is how..
its not OTA.
i had KIES, you need kies MINI.
download kies mini, it'll download like 6 drivers for your phone, and when you connect it'll install it, and it should connect and tell you theres a upgrade, mine just did and i got it
Hi everyone,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 (YP-G70CW/XSH) I've gotten three different errors messages while connected to Kies.
1, This Version of the device can not be updated.
2, S/W version in your phone is not an official version. Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not supported.
3, Your device is up to date. (I know this is not an error, but I've only seen it once.)
My question is, why? I've tired uninstalling and reinstalling Kies a number of times. The best results I get it with Kies_2.0.0.11034_5.
Does anyone know what's happening? I would just really like to update to 2.3 once it's up for my 5.0
Thanks!
Adam
Mine cant connect to Kies at all!
Tried reinstalled and restarted 10 times!
Same here. Mine's the one that was on woot.com, YP-G70CW/TTT. I download KIES from samsungs site, it won't connect. I download the update it says is available, it won't connect. Welp.

This thread implies that European Galaxy Player is stuck on froyo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362386&page=3
Is that still the case for official updates?
I'm in the U.S. but unwittingly purchased a European version from amazon.
I posted a GB stock rom a long while ago for YP-G70 5.0 international. See if this is what you are looking for.
Are you using 5.0 or 4.0?
I'm using 5.0. Are there sound features missing from gingerbread international? I've seen some posts that say the sound quality sucks when upgrading.

You can update your device through kies:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
I bought the Galaxy S wifi 5.0 last week with 2.2 Froyo installed and was able to upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread via Kies.
I bought my player about a month ago have used kies several times to load stuff on to the device, and it always tells me mine is upto date. Still have 2.2.2 on it, will check again today, as Samsung have just announced a new version in 4.2 screen size, and it comes already with gb on it. Are there any tricks to get kies to do an update or trick the phone into getting kies to do an update??
i just plugged my yp-g1 (eu) in to kies and it updated in 2.3 it has a update over air like all sensible samsung devices. first u have to change usb to kies in settings though

That said...
First, check if "USB Debugging" has a check by it under Settings->Applications->Development. It should NOT be checked.
Then, in Settings, under Wireless and Network, click on More... (your device might not have this step) and click on USB Settings. Kies should be clicked.
If it still doesn't connect...
[Note: you can drag and drop music, etc. directly into the device is you 1) check Mass Storage under USB Settings and 2) click the "Connect USB to Computer" when it appears (it might be under Notifications)
ASSUMING YOU'RE ON WINDOWS 7 (WinXP/Vista processes are a bit different)
Right-click that icon that looks liek a server with arrows going round and round in your System Tray. See status of drivers. If one failed, then that's your problem.
right-click My Computer and click on Manage
Go to Device Manager, then Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Check the status of the drivers by right-clicking and going into Properties.
If it gives you an option to fix it (or whatever), click it.
Otherwise, you might have to re-install the drivers. To do that, you'll need to uninstall the drivers first while the thing's plugged in. Then unplug and re-plug. It took me three tries for it to "get"
(actually, after this step on my device, I had to go back to properties, whereupon it showed the "fix (or whatever)" option under Properties and Driver Status.)
Good luck.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 white (my brother) which I can't seem to update via Samsung Kies.
I mean I have a Galaxy S3 red (mine) which I updated via kies and I don't know why I can't update this one.
Anyways, the Galaxy which I'm trying to update is on Android 4.0.4 ICS
When I connect the phone to the pc underneath where it says firmware information it's written: PDA:LE4 / PHONE:LE4 / CSC:LE4 (ORA) but yet no update button. I'm trying to update the phone to the latest version
*i've reinstalled kies several times!
anyone know how to resolve this or even better how to update the S3?

Thanks, Zanah F
Wow that’s an odd issue indeed
Hum that is an odd issue… your right when you plug in your phone Kies should read it go online and then download the update…
Make sure you’re computer is connected to the internet.
Check your USB debugging and switch it to the other setting to see if that can trip it into upgrading.
Reboot the phone and computer (if you have not already done so).
Try a different computer? (this shouldn’t effect it though… I don’t believe Kies is phone specific).
If you connect to Wi-Fi and then search for an update does it say that ones available?
Definitely an odd issue and you got me interested.
If you find out what is causing it then certainly come back and let me know.
