I would like to upgrade my phone to the official Ice Cream Sandwich update for the UK. I plugged in my Galaxy S2 which is still on the stock rom it came from the shop with. It's a generic unlocked SIM phone. I was greeted with this:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I click update, I accept the terms and conditions etc and click 'start upgrade', and it starts downloading the firmware upgrade components. Once it is done downloading, it asks for administrator settings. A few seconds later after approving it, it returns to the start page of Kies and then presents me with the exact same prompt as in the picture. This cycle has happened several times now, and I've tried to run Kies with administrator settings which hasn't helped. No changes have happened to my phone at all.
Although I have flashed ROMs onto my old Galaxy S, I would like to avoid using Odin as much as possible for my S2 for various reasons. I haven't even rooted this one and have had no need to do so. If any of you could suggest a way to fix this or something that I've missed so I can update without using Odin I would be very grateful. I suppose if there really is no alternative (Kies being the buggy software that it is) then I will resort to using Odin.
Hopefully this is in the correct section. Thanks.
You might want to blank out your mobile number You wouldnt want to be inundated with unwanted txt's off of strange XDA users
Thanks, didn't notice that
Search for CHECKFUS
Then download that firmware direct and flash via Odin will rule out Kies problems .

Hello, all.
Well .. I don´t know where to start, but I know that I am very sad. Last Saturday, I went first use ODIN to return the original version of Android on my gadget. Apparently, everything went according to the tutorials forum and XDA initially ODIN began updating.
I don´t know why, at the first stage of the upgrade, the Vibrant display stayed with color pink and stopped updating. I waited for about 30 minutes and nothing changed Vibrant and not restarted.
I decided to restart it manually and got the screen below.
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
From that moment on my computer (Windows 7) did not recognize the more Vibrant via USB. Likewise, I can not leave it in download mode (I've tried everything). It is as if the USB does not recognize anything...
I ask the more experienced here: You can still retrieve it? I'm in Brazil and apparently they will not support this case, even though I pay for it.
Please can you help me?
Sure.
I got the same problem with U. The same screen, can't enter the download mode. Is there anybody know how to solve this problem>? One more question, can T-mobile repair that?
Same Here
I got the same screen when I tried to flash back to stock from eugene373's froyo rom. Any help for us noobs would be really appreciated.
Any one have this problem pm me im sure I can walk u thru this
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've been running a 4.1.1 jelly bean rooted with CWM Touch on my S 3 for a while, and for some battery problems I've had to return the mobile for stock unrooted ROM to visit the Sam Customer service, so I flashed the XXABLFB using Odin3 then done a factory reset with the code:
*2767*3855#
It all went well .. and the mobile now is android ICS 4.0.1 .. but when I try to do the OTA update to turn to jelly bean it says no update available, and kies gives a "not supported firmware version:

I tried also to reroot the phone and reflash the CWM to do a full format but the odin3 keeps giving me "FAIL" messages.
any suggestions ?!
You are in Egypt? I suspect that the firmware that you have flashed is not intended for the region? top of my head, XX is European/British based ROMs, or that JB update is yet to be released in Egypt through your mobile carrier?
What I would recommend for you to do now, send the phone to SSC to resolve your initial issue since the phone is already unrooted. In particular situations should SSC not repair your phone and provide you with a replacement unit, you would be wasting your time in trying to get JB update etc...
You have Korean firmware on a non Korean product .
CSC= KOR .
Join XDA Developers and flash stock rom .

Just got a GS3 and after I configured it all I received an update msg from the system. It downloaded everything properly but when it rebooted to start installing it gave me that signature fail msg. It won´t update via kies either.
The phone is rooted and it has CWM installed on it.
Any thoughts? I don´t want to install new roms, mods, etc. I just want the phone to be able to get Samsungs´ updates, that´s all.
Here is my data:

As per the exact same question posted hundreds of times .
Root fails OTA upgrades .
Remove root before OTA .
Or try Kies or flash stock rom via Odin .

I´m going to try this: http://rootgalaxys3iii.com/unroot-galaxy-s3-2/ . It seems simple enough. I just hope it won´t root again after reboot.
It didn´t work via kies or rebooting. If I could only know what update it is I could just flash it. I just don´t want to have to flash another rom and have to reconfigure the phone all over again.
Use CHECKFUS .

The developer says it no longer works. I´ve tried it out and it really doesn´t.
When OTA is in progress it downloads the update somewhere, right? Is it possible to unroot using rootkeeper, then download the update and flash it without restarting the phone somehow?
Do you guys think that if I flash to stock kernel it will work? I bought it second hand and I have the feeling this is not a stock kernel.
Hi guys i received a Samsung J3 SM-J327T1 MetroPCS from a friend..As soon as u power it up there is the Blue Screen as in my picture....Word is that someone may have flashed a different or earlier version of the Firmware and this is the result...I tried everything in the book to get it to at least go into recovery mode.Tried the latest stock Firmware to no avail...I will post pictures hoping u guys may have come across it before and may know of a method to revive it....
As soon as i power on the phone i get the error message below.Even if i flash the most recent firmware.The flashing process goes tru very smoothly in Odin without any errors ..But when it reboots it goes back to this same blue screen with error message below...If u can't see the picture it says:
''Security Error.This Phone has been flashed with Unautorized Software&is Locked.Call your mobile Operator for addiotnal support.Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost.''

After i use odin to Try with the combination ..The combination goes tru without errors..But as soon as it reboots i get the error message below..I cannot enter recovery..Only download mode.
I have read from another forum that it is the dreaded MetroPCS Secure Lock they added to protect the integrity of the phones...Secure Lock is technology that prevents unauthorized firmware from being installed on MetroPCS phones.Would appreciate hearing from u all if this would be the case..And the phone needs to be thrown away and savage for parts ofcourse..thanks

Try to repeat the procedure, sometimes it might happen that odin get stuk, restart odin and get back to the download screen on your phone, you should be able to try again. If it keeps happening it might be that is the wrong version for your phone, I would suggest searching the original firmware on SamMobile and use odin to install that back.
Hopefully this helps, I'm no expert, just run into similar problems recently
