probably its tooooooooo late for this thing.... my advice would be reboot the phone as no update takes one hour..
if your phone boots fine then good.. keep usb connected to phone and kies
when you will reboot kies will show you to have firmware recovery or do it manually.. and your phone will be updated with firmware you just downloaded..
this happened with me also when i was upgrading from froyo to GB and that worked
and from next time onwards do post in general section
I kill the process and install firmware recovery, tnx
The phone have 2.3.3 version, Kies says that is the latest version. How to upgrade to 2.3.5?

Yep..Use Odin,the reason Kies is saying that 2.3.3 is the latest firmware,is because its not out in your region yet

I had a different problem with updating through KIES, but all the same, Odin flashing is the best way to go.
Have you all got the latest version of Kies? I believe there was a sizeable update recently. I can't really advise more than that as I get updates from here and use Odin.

Same problem, that I am facing. Latest kies as well. Seems like kies is the worst software ever designed in the history of mankind.
Any simpler way to update the phone. Does ODIN require root?

Yes Kies is 100% Worst ..If you use ODIN Once you cant use Kies (Official Firmware Updater) till you get back to Official Firmware again (The One you got with Mobile)

I would stay with official kies updates if you are a noob. Try kies on another pc maybe or update the drivers.
If you really want to use other methods I'd search the forum for guides.
I wouldn't be a suitable candidate to advise you.

If you use the official firmware for your country, rooted or not, KIES will function normally. I wonder where a lot of the BS being written online about using KIES and rooting causing KIES not to work properly comes from.

Hi,
Don't use KIES for updates.
Use ODIN3 1.85
Look for the HOW TO, and for downloading your official firmware here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Ok Thanks,I will read it..Do I need to be in download Mode to update my Firmware from Kies?
I posted this question in another thread, though I never got a direct answer and didn't want to hijack the thread either.
A while back I had my phone repaired. I've never attempted to update my phone in all this time. I recently installed Kies and saw the following information:
PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
It says "This version of the device cannot be updated".
When I tried the "software update" via the phone, which then said a new firmware would have to be installed and if I'd like to download. I selected Yes and then the phone reboots. When it came back on it said that the update had failed and to try connect and do it through KIES. So I think there's an update available yet I can't do anything about it?
My phone details are:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXKE4
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE1-CL181974
[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Does the information from the Kernal Version indicate that they rooted my phone when they repaired it? If so, will there be a way of changing it back?
Thanks.
Does hboot say s-off or s-on?

no they will not root your phone as you are using kies to get official updates.
use odin and flash either generic roms which you will have to root yourself.
custom roms usually are rooted by the developer.
Does the information from the Kernal Version indicate that they rooted my phone
NO all its says is [email protected] which is part of the signature and nothing to do with rooting a phone ..
If Kies says no update for your phone then its usually correct .Phone provider has not updated firmware .

I never used Kies until now and the phone wasn't updated before sending it back to be repaired. I don't really have the intention of rooting the phone myself. Was just wondering why I can't update the firmware.

Kies says there's no update, however I'm asked to use Kies after a failed attempt to use the software update function of the phone. It says that there's a new firmware version available. I downloaded it and it asks to reboot my phone. When it starts up again it says the update has failed and to use Kies. I don't understand why it would say there's a new firmware available and yet I can't update it?

If the phone isn't rooted by them, why won't the software update allow me to update the new firmware that it says is available? It fails and asks me to do it through Kies where it says that my version of the phone cannot be updated?

Dude... You keep asking the same question. Although I cannot say why your phone is telling you that you have an update available and it is failing and saying to use KIES, I can reiterate what JJE mentioned and that is that it sounds like your carrier has NOT released an actual update for your device.
I recommend that you call your cell phone carrier and ask them if and when an update WILL be available and start from there. If they say that there IS an upadte available then you can ask your question again but until you know for sure you are just going around in circles.
the csc you have does cuurently support updates has they have not been released for that region.
try changing the csc to a country that has updates.

When I try changing the csc all I get is the XEU sales code. There are no other options available. I reside in the UK, btw.
my phone? it wont update it at all.... it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
I did update it ages ago with odin to XWKJ3
How can i get Kies to update it again?

Then you use ODIN to update simple as that . You no longer have the correct codes for KIES server to match to an update .

Depends on what region your phone belongs to download and flash the latest ROM released for your region and you are good to go
You can get the boxed ROM and the latest through this website

Use intratech's thread for flashing the stock boxed or latest ROM

Hi all Mizzeeboy here
I just wanted to know if it would be ok to unroot my phone:good: then update as I rooted my phone to unlock it so I could avoid a fee.If I unroot i9300 would I be able to download all other samsung updates from kies all right without my network being f**ked because I have an update for my phone on kies and i'm eager to update but I wanted to ask the experts so i'm sure of what i'm doing.

Voodoo unlock requires ROOT so im guessing not, you could backup your efs then restore it once you've upgraded maybe

Neither kies nor Odin does the upgrade..samsung releases the upgrades..on kies you will have to wait for the updates to be pushed by Sammy..using Odin you can download the update from Sammobile/samsung-updates and update any time you want..
by the way..Odin will not mess with your phone if you perform the steps correctly..Kies took around 50 seconds on my PC to open up..Odin does that in 5 seconds...
though there are some advantages of kies as well..such as backup and recover but for me..Odin trumps Kies

WHAT?!?!
They are the exact same firmwares, kies is just one way of getting the exact same firmware that you get from samfirmware.com. THE EXACT SAME, JUST AS OFFICIAL.
In fact you can get more recent firmware from samfirmware than what you will get from kies. (If your CSC isn't BTU)
Forget about kies and use Odin.
More official.....SMH....

Odin is simple, boot into download mode (vol down+home+power) connect to computer with Odin open (kies closed and removed from system tray) put package in PDA, make sure repartition is NOT ticked and press start.
If you use Odin properly it won't damage anything.
Yes, depending on how you unlocked it there is a chance it will be locked again, Samsung blocked the method that voodoo unlock uses in the updates after XXBLG1.
