Can't update via Kies - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a stock rom, and here is an error message I get when trying to updating
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
when this message appears, the phone is on downloading mode, and it stays like that until I take out the battery. The update obviously faills.
Any ideas? thanks

To update via kies you don't need download mode.
Just connect the usb cable with the phone on.

I know, it put the phone in download mode by itself, while trying to install the update!

Guys, please help..

uninstall your Kies and reinstall it please.

My advice would be to ditch it for the piece of crap that it is and use Odin to flash the firmware.

I use odin and have used KIES in the past. What I find is that when you flash with odin you have to clear data on a lot of apps to make them work. I have never encountered this issue when updating the "regular" way. Odin does get the updates faster, but it seems to work cleaner.

Try the update again and when it fails and you have to restart the phone yourself, don't close down kies, instead reconnect the phone to your pc. It should if i remember correctly go into a recovery mode and complete the install.

It didnt help, when i restarted the phone and plugged it back, kies didn't do anything and it was waiting for me to close the error message. I clicked ok and the upgrade was closed I got back to the same position as when I just plug the phone..

I got the exact same problem and I have tried everything in this thread.
My theori is that the computer (win7) doesn't recognice the phone correctly after the restart into Download Mode.
When I first connect the phone with the USB cable win7 recognices that phone as Samsung USB Modem, but when Kies restarts the phone into Download Mode the computer states that it is Samsung USB Modem #2 or sometimes even #3 or #4.
And I don't have a clue how to solve this.

Ok, using a different computer has solved the problem
thank you guys

I have solved it for this time.
I uninstalled program and drivers. Rebooted and changed USB connection. Installed Kies and drivers again. Then it worked.
Just took me about 20 times of testing and 2-3 reinstalls.

Problem w/ ODIN, pls help!

Hi all... I downloaded the link provided here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799105) because I have rooted my phone and am in the process of upgrading it to the 2.2 froyo. However, when following s15274n's post and watching his video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMSF-SumO3k) it seems like when you boot up your phone into download mode, it should show up in ODIN in the id:com section. I was following his video to a T but my phone is not showing up there whatsoever.... so what do I do and how do I fix this?
Install drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
i just did that but it downloads "DriverBoost" and you have to pay and register it so it will update all your driver's for you.... is this what I have to do?

just install kies, and it will include the drivers.
kies is free.
I think there is a vibrant kies mini version, but I use the following european full kies.
here is the link

edit:
you can get kies mini here

kies should have all the drivers.
ok, i rebooted my computer... now it does appear that Odin is recognizing my phone! but just to make sure, in Odin one of the "id:com" ports is highlighted yellow and says "0:[COM3]", is this correct?

yes that is fine, the number doesn't matter.
watch this video

btw, not sure what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to update to 2.2, why don't you just use rom manager and clockwork recovery to flash a rom.
Axura 2.0.5 and the Stock Froyo JK6 that sombionix uploaded is fantastic.
Not sure what you are really trying to do.
Its always better to Odin black top stock so you don't keep ghost from other rom

[Q] Yet another Odin connection problem. I'm getting sick of this :(

Hi guyz, i just bought sgs2 yesterday, previously i've been using SGS for the past 8 months
No matter what i do, i can't get Odin to detect my SGS2 in download mode.. !

but the weird thing is, it detects the phone if its in 'switch on' mode
These are what i've done:
- installed kies
- installed driver from kies
- factory reset sgs2
Info:
* i even reformat my Windows 7 (i thought it gets conflict with my previous SGS driver) and started everything from fresh but still fail
* Kies detects my phone, i can browse contacts etc. but Odin still fail to detect in download mode
* my phone is a branded O2 Ireland. Sim free
* i've tried on other PC but still fail
Please help me, i lost hope.. i just want to Root my phone
Did you try a different usb cable? And did you close all kies programs?
Alt+Crtl+delete >> Taskmanager >> Processes and terminate everything with kies in the name.
Did you try with usb debugging off and on?

You can try heimdall
Does windows see the phone drives via USB mass storage mode ..If not its your USB drivers and thats what Odin requires .
Tried a different Odin Odin3 v1.3 always worked for me .

[Q] Phone won't turn on after repartitioning

Using Odin, I accidentally repartitioned my phone and didn't flash anything else besides the PIT file. What do I do? My phone doesn't turn on when plugged into the computer or the wall outlet. Is there anything I can do?
My phone is pretty much done, isn't it?
What the hell.... Anyways.... Pit always repartitions your phone. Did you flash anything after that? Details are lacking.
You can't get back into download mode to reflash?

No, because I wasn't able to use the phone at all after. The phone is dead. It won't do anything. There is no sign of life. I repartitioned it with a pit file and hit start. After that, the phone wouldn't work at all.
Because.... you need to follow steps and read.
You need to start over.... Odin the pit... then follow the steps and odin the rom you want to flash. Your phone isn't gone... yet.

But will this work even though Odin can't see my phone, since my phone acts as if there's no battery? It doesn't function at all. So when I plug it in, nothing happens and Odin never sees my phone.
Actually, my phone is responding all of a sudden, so now I'm flashing my phone with Odin.
Why is Odin stuck at this part of the flash?

You have to redo it... Sometimes it doesn't completely flash the first time.

Or try a different odin package.

What did you do? I have the same problem. It didnt response at all.
you could also try something totally different and try heimdall with a different usb port, if that doesn't work then I'm definitely not sure what else you could try.
did you leave your battery in when you went into download mode to flash the stock rom? if you did, take the battery out, hook up the cable to a usb port hold down the - volume button along with the power button and it should boot into download mode

'Odin doesn't work the phone/PC don't recognise each other' has been covered here more than a few times over the past week or so. Search for those threads; there are set of troubleshooting steps you need to go through (you've done some of them but not all).
Edit - And please don't double post. Make a thread, wait patiently for help.

Oi ! Stop bumping your thread (Bumping not permitted inside 24 hrs) :-/ I told you how to fix your phone yesterday. As I said to someone else in the same situation an hour or two ago, either keep trying the troubleshooting steps (I'm almost certain you're not doing something really small/obvious as is nearly always the situation with these cases. And to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't searched for similar threads as advised), or take it to a service centre.
And I'm not posting to this thread again, so you can forget about the drip feed/20 questions thing.

If you can't boot it into recovery, it's pretty much bricked. Look around for people offering to JTAG it to recover.
Before I consider helping you, why on earth would you attempt flashing this? Why not instead flash a 4.3 rom? I have to know you were intentionally trying to lock your bootloader before I try to help....it just feels so wrong giving instructions for locking a bootloader

I bet it would still get into download mode since aboot wasnt flashed, well I guess it depends on whether or not the phone even attempts to boot or not though. I've gotten my S4 out of qhusb by keep the charger plugged in and constantly removing and inserting the battery.

Very likely. It's pretty hard to brick this phone into a state where it can't be recovered.
However, I've seen people do amazing things like flashing GS3 ROMs and wondering why they didn't work. Or less crazy, flashing AT&T ROMs on a VZ phone. People that stupid are why Verizon is so anal about locking down their phones.
I was just trying to update it to 4.3 since OTA didnt work I taught this was stock odin flashable image...

Stock mean locked boot loader!!
What USB cable did you use and what port on the computer? While it's a bit of a stupid question I had a problem like that when doing an ODIN restore and tried all kinds of fixes including a totally different computer and it turns out the USB cable I was using was crap even though it'd transfer files over fine, ODIN didn't like it.
If you can't get it out of QHUSB DLOAD with button pressing, you can try this tool http://forum.legija.net/showthread....g-galaxy-S4-(i9505-and-similar)-via-USB-Cable.

It was COM3 port, and it was OEM samsung usb cable...
I Tried everything i can but there is no way to get into download/recovery mod...
I had a similar problem the other day, don't worry. Depending on whatever build you were on before you bricked it, download that baseband and odin it on there. It did wonders for me and should work for you.
Solved... The device was hardbricked.... JTAG did the trick, cost me about 35$
