hi.
i've been trying since yesterday to upgrade to gingerbread with no luck.
Kies detects my phone and prompts me to upgrade. right when it's supposed to start the procedure, it loses connection with the phone then reconnects and prompts me again to upgrade. so i'm stuck in this loop.
i have the latest version, i tried to uninstall/re-install Kies several times, reboot the computer, hard reset the phone, unroot.. nothing worked.
can't use odin either. i downloaded the firmware S5830JPKP9 from samfirmware but there were olny 3 files included (APBOOT_S5830JPKP9, CODE_S5830JPKP9, GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-OJPKP3) and no MODEM file. someone already bricked his phone flashing it without the modem file.
so now im stuck!

Kies is one of the worst ways to upgrade your phone . Use ODIN .

Try flashing another 2.3.3 if you are planning to use the other 2.3.3 but without MODEM . That way it'll ensure greater safety when changing versions

yes i have same problem when i update my firmware & kies shows my phone but when it shows downloading firmware then it shows the phone disconnected . then i close updating firmware window then kies shows my phone . i think samsung have blocked the firmware through kies for sometime ..

Kies and ODIN don't go together . If you open ODIN , be sire to end all Kies Processes using Task Manager .

Thanks Samsung
Kies is the best tools to upgrade firmware, as it peform full backup and full restore during upgrade.
How much time you perform upgrade with ODNI, and install all you apps + data ? waste a lot times.....
kies is best suited for newbies like me, once i flashed my phone with odin without backing up my data it was like hell installing every thing back.... now a days i use Titanium back up pro or My back up pro before flashing my phone with odin,,,

i wouldnt want to end up with brick
well i tried it and it works but i'm really disappointed with this firmware.
wake up lag is worse than with froyo. some weird behavior with calls and with titanium backup..
i'm thinking of going back to froyo :'(
Even I spent a whole day over trying to upgrade with Kies. It threw up all kinds of weird errors, sometimes quit downloading saying it's corrupt, or just stop in the middle of installation and bricked my phone. Finally just ODIN'd the one-package from samfirmware. It works over DDKC1. No need for any other GB as base first.
To me , I'd rather use iTunes than Kies . It throws less errors .

Don't be afraid to brick your phone. It's an awesome experience. You can unbrick it anyway by flashing a new firmware . Bricked my phone countless times already
Hi guy's im a total newbie i read and read for 1 week before even atempting to update via odin problem now is i think ive stuffed it!! kies dosnt recodnise it cant get menu at all and every time i try to upload the firmware i get fail at last hurdle the download trick still works!!so i can still download into it using odin problem is it comes up with fail!!! im sure its something simple im missing but cant point my finger to it. the only thing on screen when i switch on is picture of a phone with a yellow triangle in middle and a picture of a pc on other end!!!!help me please guys
First thing in any Odin flashing guide is to install Kies for the driver and they uninstall it completelly! Odin and Kies don't like each other and one can make the other fail.
ive removed kies but still get fail i found the cause of my problems i had to put kernel update into bootloader in odin did that and phone woke up again alls working good again id still like to load that new firmware tho where do i put the firware to upload into pda or phone in odin? any help and id be really greatfull?
You need to select the file as PDA option to flash it. Check any of the tutorials about using Odin if you're still having problems.

I have both Odin and Kies installed and have never had any issues. In the past I used to kill the kies process form the task manager but nowadays I don't even bother.

Frankly im amazed anyone still uses KIES it's a crock of sh*t to be honest.
Hi guys
I am new here and i have, for me, a BIG proglem...
My boss gave me his phone, i9100, to update it on ICS 4.0.3. I updated phone through Odin, everything went ok, my boss was happy
Then, he noticed some minor bugs and he asked me to downgrade phone on GB 2.3.4
I used checkfus to download 2.3.4 for our contry and restored GB 2.3.4. Again, everything went ok.
Then, my smart boss, connects phone to KIES and KIES showed error that he, KIES, cannot recognize phone?!
Now my boss is freaking out because he thinks he lost warranty and he is blaming me about his "loss" of warranty.
When i entered, Volume UP+Home+Power, it shows "0" in counter and "samsung official"?
What seems to be a problem? How can i restore GB so phone can be recognized through KIES?

You have not reinstalled the original firmware and codes no longer match on Kies server .

No stock is still Samsung warranty .
Download your original firmware via CHECKFUS flash via Odin then connect to KIES .

Your boss sounds like a real dickhead.
It's probably a difference in region, hence Kies won't allow you to upgrade.
Samsung are very relaxed regarding user firmware upgrades. I had 10+ counts in firmware upgrade counts and Samsung still fixed my phone free of charge (faulty proxy sensor)
Just tell your boss to chill out.
Flash your country CSC file and choose your CSC:

But 2.3.4 is very old, I suggest you to flash 2.3.6.

@Faryaab
I didnt make any backup before updating ICS, was that my mistake? Plz dont tell me thats it for making ****ing KIES to recognize phone...
He had that GB 2.3.4 before updating via Odin.
ps. sorry for my modest knowledge about my OWN problem, i know how to flash but thats it
Anyone?
Has he tried uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers, rebooting PC, reinstall Kies + drivers, reboot and then try connecting to Kies?

You wrote them down before you flashed .
They are specific to the phone and its origins its provider etc .

As shaq1907 said you need to flash the correct csc file. If I understanded correctly, the kies says "Kies can't update this phone" or something like that.
I had that problem.
Look for an apk called spoofFW if you are on GB

Kies update after Odin flashing
Just flash your phone into older firmware and update via OTA. After OTA update, Kies will support update for your firmware.
Here is how I did it.
1. Flash XWKL3 (2.3.3) by Odin
2. Update via OTA (Under About phone=>Software update) <- Still Gingerbread
3. Connect to PC and now it is supported by Kies.
4. Update to ICS using Kies.
If you encountered update failure in Step 2, don't worry and keep trying until it success.
Hi,

looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

You probably need to install a Stock Rom first then try the upgrade.
I get mine at sammobile.com and install via Odin Mobile app on S3.
UPDATE: I actually got it here.
Do a full CWM backup to external SD or PC before you start.
I would also use Titanium Backup Pro to save all your apps so that you can restore them with the new JB. (some may fail or be faulty but most should work)
