My player is still dead, and I noticed this new feature of Kies. Others have gotten the "Firmware Update and Initialization" working with the SGS3's and such, I tried it on my player by entering the model name as "YP-G70" and the serial number as it's listed on the box.
I'm in download mode via unbrickable resurrector, and when I try it in kies it comes back with "The model information you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed." I also tried "YP-G70CWY/XAA" as shown on the box and it still doesn't work. I'm sure I have the serial number correct, maybe Samsung decided not to support these via that kies feature??
Has anyone gotten this to work?
If your in download mode just use Odin or Heimdall to flash a stock ROM, not sure whats out there for the 5.0 as I have the 4.0, Keis is a junk virtually useless app, and in a YEAR of ownership and an uncountable number of ROM flashes via Odin, Heimdall and CWM zips I have never once considered using Keis for anything.

I know, I hate kies too. The filesystem on my player is severely screwed though, if samsung released a way to put in two numbers and click ok I'm more than willing to give it a shot.
I got an SGS3 a few months ago, so while I'd love to have my SGP working again I'm not about to spend $50 to have it JTAG'd.

Hi,
Last week i got my Galaxy S2 and am really obsessed with the performance and beauty of her.
Today i installed lastest version of Kies and when i connected my phone thru USB, it said that new version of firmware is available (KF3).
I clicked OK to upgrade the firmware and it showed downloading firmware and after some time it said that "Failed to convert to upgrade mode" and i tried upgrading my firmware for 5-6 times but no luck..
Any one here know how to update the firmware to KF3 (INDIAN version)
Turn OFF AV and Firewall .
jje
thanks mate...but i tried but no luck....
Try resetting your phone to factory settings.Sometimes there are certain apps which interrupt the upgrade procedure. Needless to say, Do backup all your data and apps
better you would use odin to flash a rom.
Make sure you installed KIES in administrator mode.
Somehow i followed the steps given by you guys and able to successfully download the firmware. but after some time Kies showed some error in unknown language ( i think its korean) with only OK button (dont have a screen shot though).....now my phone was showing a little android guy with "Downloading....do not turn off target".....i waited for nearly 1.5 hrs and nothing happend...then i searched in net, there it asked me to power off the phone and switchng it on again.....
it came back online as usual and when i cheked the version it was still showing my old one.....any idea what went wrong? and what the heck is that error message, written like a chopstick house......
Solved
i had faced similar isssues while trying to upgrade for last 2 days.
it worked today - all i did was start Kies in Administrator mode.
kies didnt download the firmware again - it took it from previous downloads and did the upgrade.
try it out!

I have been trying to download the new firmware since last 3 days, I even reset the phone back to factory setting, also using Kies in Administrator mode but everytime I click on the option of firmware upgrade it does the back up but after that it says "connection to Gt-i9100 lost ".
Any idea why this would be happening ?
Also any noticeable difference after the update ?

earlier i did the factory reset (including USB erase) plus re installed USB drivers from Kies menu few times at home but it was not upgrading.
Just reconnected on a different machine (as was trying sitting at work ) it just worked. Yesterday I did face teh same issue at work machine as well.
most likely it looks to me either a USB driver issue and / or admin issues.
Hope it helps.
yet to come across any significant improvement changes. still in the mode of re installation of apps.
I tried everything...did factory reset, ran kies in admin mode etc....but still no luck.....can i use odin to update my firmware? if i update now using odin, can i update the next release of updated firmware with kies?

People seem to regularly have problems with Kies. My biggest one is getting the firmware to download: it often times out more than half-way through, eating up big chunks of my broadband data cap every time.
Odin is usually the most reliable way of doing a firmware update. Make sure you use the USB cable that came with the phone, because people have had problems using other cables (such as ones that come with HTC phones).
If you do a firmware update through Odin, it doesn't necessarily prevent later updates through Kies. The only thing you need to watch is that you're using a Kies-released firmware that's correct for your phone. For example, if you've got an Indian phone (GT-I9100LKAINU), you need to flash the XWKF3/ODDKF3/DDKE4 firmware. This is the latest Kies release for that phone. If you flashed a different firmware, such as the XWKF3/XEUKD1/XXKE7 firmware for European phones, Kies will no longer find updates.
You can use the Check Fus Downloader (v1.2 at fus.nanzen.se) to find the latest firmware for your phone, and to download an Odin-flashable package. This will give you a ZIP file, and inside that is a TAR file. This TAR file is then used by Odin.

which firmware did you download~ seems there are lot dif version a/c to country. so not quite sure which one for me..help?
Hello Thr ,
I am in a bit of a problem
I have Kies installed - Version 2.0.1.11053_99
Windows 7
Galaxy S2 - I9100DDKE2 ( PDA:KE8/PHONE:KE2/CSC:KE2(INU)
which i bought from INDIA two weeks back .
Now i am in South Africa when i connect it to Kies here , i am getting a popup which says that a Firmware Update is available.
Latest Firmware Version shown is
PDA:KF3/PHONE:KE4/CSC:KF3(INU)
Now when i start the Upgrade process , it fails to download the Firmware update and shows me the error :
"Error found in the downloaded file.Do you want to try downlaiding again ?"
and if i click YES then the same thing happens again .
I was using this Kies on the same laptop for my Galaxy S(SGS 1) before and never got an issue with it.
This is happening numberous times and i am not sure whether it is due to my phone being from India and that i am trying to upgrade it here in South Africa or
actually something with Samsung South Africa .
Can any one please explain to me what is happening and how do i Fix this now.
P.S.- not going to either use a ROM or Root it myself options ...
Many Thanks
Poor internet connection turn off AV and firewall .
jje
Thanks Will try it tomm,
Strange i never faced this sort of a problem with my Galaxy S ..
U think it has nothing to do with the fact that my phone was bought in India and that i am now in South Africa?
failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occured
OK so still getting the Error
I have tried to reinstall the Samsung Kies again on my laptop.
"failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred"
see i was facing same pro before i try numbers of time and alt last i succeeded wht i do it sounds pretty odd dont let your windows stay ideal for more then 45 sec it let the download interrupt try tht method u will be able to download the updates best of luck
Can u please elaborate where u were facing this issue and what ur firmware version is .
Also did u buy the phone in India and used it elsewhere or not?
what is happening in my case is that the download keeps failing and everytime i start it again , it goes a little further so in about 5-6 attempts it reaches 100%. and then when it tries to update the device with it , it fails to say that the downloaded file is corrupt or has an error or something like it.
Guyz please help !!!
help please----Galaxy S2 experts..
Guyz do help me please. i have tried reseting my phone and reinstalled kies a number of times now...
nothing seems to be working,,,,and now worse enuf all Kies does it says that the update is available and i click YES and then it just looses connection with the phone and reconnects again and again keeps giving me the update available popup ....what to do?
Looking at how the connection is being made, I'd refute the USB drivers problem and would rather resort to ODIN for FW install. Its fairly easy to use, if you are still able to get into Download/Recovery mode. The help on ODIN is spread all across the forum, let me know if you would still need any help on ODIN part....KIES is usually found to behave irrationally while upgrading firmware.
Thanks for coming to my help.
You see i am a little scared of using ODIN since i only bought this phone a week ago and don't want to mess up the warranty or future updates etc.
If i do use Odin (i have used it before for my galaxy S) , does it void my warranty or anything like it?
also will i be able to use Kies for future updates or would i always have to use ODIN from then onwards?
Finally , what sort of issues can i run into since i bought this phone in India and am now using this in SA?
Any help is appreciated.
Well, ODIN doesn't really void the warranty as you could always flash the country-specific firmware and flash the download counter too with the help of a small USB JIG (available for a minimal price at e-bay). If you really want to go down the KIES road, you might want to try a different system, cable/USB port (yes, it sometimes is the culprit) and see how it treats you then. If it still fails to do its assigned job, I think ODIN is the way to go...I have had 2 SGS and now SGS2 and never once did I go with KIES, well I tried once but it didn't go too well...since then ODIN is what I love. You can use KIES afterwards if you wish to, provided it has the country specific FW, so if you bought it from India, it should reflect the FW of India (seems like FW is mapped somehow with the IMEI).
Regarding your last, you shouldn't really bump into any roadblocks, should you find yourself in a soup, XDA fraternity would come to your rescue. Read thoroughly and proceed.
Any update on how did it go?

Seems like Win 7 didn't like my brand new galaxy S2
Hi everyone,
I brought a new galaxy s2 phone about 4 weeks ago and it has spent most of that time soft bricked since I tried to update it to the newest firmware, K14....
I am using windows 7 starter, 32bit. I have installed kies, uninstalled and re-installed kies, tried uninstalling kies and just using the drivers.
Recently I did a clean install of windows, installed kies, as more drivers seem to be recognized and downloaded odin v1.85. I restart the computer, start task manager end all processes that say kies, run odin as a administrator, put the tar file in pda, only auto reboot is selected. I then plug in the phone, in download mode, wait for yellow box and press start and the process only goes as far as boot.bin.
I have tried all of my usb ports and the only difference is the number of the modem installed driver and how far along odin gets. With two ports it only goes as far as setup connection which was as far as anything went before I re-installed windows. I have replaced the usb cable and made sure the phone battery is fully charged. The phone was put into usb debugging mode before it was bricked. I have attached a picture of what drivers get installed when I plug in the phone. The firmware I am attempting to flash is the uk 3 version off the firmware page of this website.
Please can somebody give me the solution it is driving me nuts!
Sorry for waffling but I figure you need to know what I've tried so that I don't waste anybodies time.
Thanks guys
Did you try a different stock rom? Did you try a different pc? Or if you want to, flash a CF-root kernel. Then boot in recovery and flash a rom of your choice.
The flashcounter will start and stock roms can't be flashed this way (at least as far as I know).
Is your phone a I9100 model?
I ask this to make sure you are trying to flash the correct firmware for your device.

Hi Lenny,
Yh, i have tried it on my desktop which runs 7 home premium. Clean install with same results. Tried the K14 firmware a few times but that never got any further than setup connection. Don't understand the rest of your post sorry. Can you do a flash for dummies thing? And is there a firmware you would recommend trying?
@ aceofclubs -the box says i9100 and so does the sticker in the back.
@ JJEgan - the first cable I used was the one in the box and while the one I have replaced by ebay, they had good feedback. The K14 firmware was given to be by a user of the galaxy s2 that he had successfully flashed with.
Does the phone look to have installed correctly, the guy who gave me the firmware said he had abd appear in device manager, which I haven't got. Also after the phone is finished installing drivers if I click in the system tray, the green icon that shows devices that are present is not there and neither is the phone but if I go into device manager samsung composite device is.

No you dont need a ADB neccesarily for flashing. ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that comes with the Android SDK that allows you to control and interface with your Android device. Well do u have the phone specifications before bricking it, like Model No, Built, CSC, Kernal Etc.
First try to uninstall Kies and Install the latest version, so that you have the latest drivers.
Check the Intratech thread on Stock ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) and download the correct rom.( I presume you have I9100 Intenational Version of S2). Open Odin 1.85, do not change any options, brownse and put the stock rom u downloaded into the PDA section and click on start button, you should be good.PM me if you have any issues.
The above didn't work. Here's what I got:

AS you have the yellow box in Odin you have the drivers all the firmware in that link works .
run odin as a administrator, put the tar file in pda, only auto reboot is selected. I then plug in the phone, in download mode, wait for yellow box and press start
Lets do this the right way just to be sure . Open Odin put the tar file in PDA
go to download mode at first screen download mode on phone follow instruction ( vol up from memory ) after next screen connect Samsung USB cable to phone and PC .

Thanks, think I've done that anyway but, just to check, what do you mean by next screen?
The screen when you are in download mode and press volume up.
Yh that is what I'm doing, thanks tho. Can someone please give me a reliable link to an older version of Odin to try? At the mo I am using v1.85, this the latest version?

So close! I plugged the phone in and got as far as cache with the green progress bar showing just the tiniest bit. Left it for over an hour but the bar didn't move at all! Encouraged I restarted the computer to try again only to find that now the computer and odin won't recognize the phone until I uninstall and reinstall kies and always hangs on cache. I restarted in the first place as the phone never shows in the system tray. Sorry to be a bore but have you any idea why everyone else can plug in and flash and my machines refuse to! I welcome any ideas you have. Thank you.
Instead of Odin, you could try Heimdall. Maybe that will work for you.

hey hope everyone had a good christmas and new year. Still no joy, where do I get PIT files to flash with the newest version of heimdall to go with our firmware? The newest version won't let me add files until I enter a PIT. I tried version 1.1 but I couldn't get it to recognise a compatible device.
On the odin front: I thought I'd cracked it. It started flashing, took hours but I had half a green progress bar and then it just seem to freeze. Also this seems replicable a few times and then I get stuck at setup connection again. I then have to do a system restore to get it to flash to the furthest point again. Does this give anyone any clues? Or does anyone know of any heimdell packages I could try? And the long shot, any way of getting firmware on to an sd card and flashing that way when a phone is soft bricked?
Sorry if I'm annoying you but there has to a way round this. I brought a rooted one to use while this is sorted, love the phone but need to know I can update and be able to sort it out if things go wrong.
Thanks again for your help and suggestions.

Also check md5 sums to make sure your download is ok.

I'll try heimdall. Drivers should be fine as kies is installed. Rom should be good as I've tried 2 different download sources
Make sure you install the libusb drivers for heimdall before flashing. The instructions are in the heimdall readme. Good luck

Just wanted to post that my problem is solved.
Summary: My AT&T Galaxy SII showed an error on boot (software upgrade failed. connect to kies...). Kies wouldn't even recognize the device so that route was a no go. So as everyone's recommended method of last resort, I decided to flash the device back to stock via odin. I entered download mode (volume up + volume down and plug in usb) and Odin would recognize the device, I would load the stock rom in the PDA slot and hit start and it would begin normally, but it would always fail after a few seconds on 'NAND write start', or 'factoryfs.img'. So I got a 1 click download solution using odin for reverting my phone back to stock. Same thing, it would recognize the phone, but stall out and fail. I also tried flashing clockworkmod via odin but and same problem. People recommended I try heimdall. It would recognize my device, and then fail after 'kernel 100%'.
I tried both programs on 3 different computers, and must have tried 12 different USB slots amongst all of them. I'm fairly handy with this stuff and I worked for hours on it.
xtra info: I had successfully used odin on my computer to flash a kernel just a week ago so I know my stock usb cable was working etc...
Resolution: So I hung my head and drove to the ATT store. After pressing a few buttons on the device and not getting anywhere they sent me to a nearby Device Support Center. I told the girl at the counter that my phone booted to this error screen and that connecting it to Kies did nothing. She asked if it was ok that in the case that she couldn't fix it she would offer me a replacement. I said that was fine and after 10 minutes in the back room she came out with a replacement (free of charge).
Well that was the good news. For the bad news, unfortunately I still don't know how to fix the problem I had, and don't really know how to avoid it in the future. I thought phone's could only get truly bricked if you messed with PIT files and such. There didn't seem to be anything more I could do than flash with odin or heimdall as those were already last resorts. I know I had the right files, the right drivers, and working usb. No matter how crazy I got with my iphone, a full restore was only a click away by plugging in to iTunes. Somehow I messed up my phone so bad that even the device support center couldn't fix it....? Shouldn't have had to be like that.
Thank yous: Thanks to ATT for having a walk-in store and for so easily offering up a replacement. Thanks to the many people on the web who offered remedies.
tl;dr - phone broke, att replaced, still a mystery
Will Samsung be able to fix my Galaxy S3?
I was trying to bring the phone back to stock ROM and ODIN failed on me.
I tried pretty much everything and Odin would keep on failing. I tried to emergency recover it in kies but Kies would say, "connecting" and never connect. Thinking this is a USB Driver issue, I took it to Samsung Experience store to get it repaired. However, they could not restore it.
(***** THE PHONE WOULD GO INTO DOWNLOAD MODE but NOT the Recovery mode.*****)
So the phone turns on but can't go into recovery mode but CAN go into download mode. Odin just screws up on me. (Is this a soft brick?)
So the guys at the Samsung Experience store asked me to send it to Samsung to get it repaired. So I called the Samsung guys and he told me that "Reflashing the phone" is free of charge (even though my phone is out of warranty btw). But I'm worried that "reflashing" is the same thing they tried at the Experience store. So I'm thinking they would try the same thing the guys at the Experience store and fail.(Then charge me to do some other option.)
So the question is,
1)Would they be able to restore my phone without having to do an expensive method?(replace motherboard or something)
2) Will they still do the repair? (My phone was rooted but I heard the root record gets deleted when you try to put a ROM through ODIN)
3)I still want to fix my phone even if it costs money. So how much do you expect the repair fee would cost if they cannot recover by software means?
4)How long would this repair take in general? I need this phone ASAP
Man this sucks..... I bought this phone for 200 dollars at Textnow like a month ... It would definitely cost less money to repair than 200 bucks right?
Dont worry,thats not a hardware problem.
:good::good::good:
1. Yes, they will be able to fix it. I hope you aren't in the USA, because you'll have to ship it out of the contedent. I could fix your phone. It's not very hard.
2. Root will be wiped, but when you reboot into Download mode, it shows that the phone has been rooted. Depending on what area you are in, your warranty may not be honored.
3. Depends on how bad it is, but at most, $500 for a new motherbaord, (since samsung rapes you)
4. It will be fixed within 3 weeks.
5. If you're willing to insure, and pay shipping both ways, I'll do it for free. Short of a hardware issue, I can (and will), fix it. I'll restore it to the latest 4.3 firmware, and send it back. No charge if your phone is already unlocked.
Did you try any other version of odin or check your download .. try to download again.. maybe your file is currupt?
Please quote me and let me know what happens

Before goign to samsung to this:
1. Change usb cable/port.
2. Check the downloaded file.
3. Download another firmware and try it. Somethimes some firmwares are bigger than others and need a pit file
4. Or in samsung kies press emergency recovery. Enter your device model number and serial number and samsung kies will tell you which firmware it came with and you should flash that firmware and download it from sammobile.com
I suggest going to step number 4 for a quick fix.

Hey, I've already sent it to Samsung and I've already tried all the steps but they didn't work. ._.
Odin failed and Kies would not connect my device, so emergency recovery didn't work.
But, could you give me any idea if they can fix it without replacing anything physical? (I'm just worried I'll have to pay **** ton of money trying to fix the phone.)
Just to remind, the phone does get to download mode. So, they will PROBABLY fix it without replacing anything right?
PROBABLY not 100% right?
Thanks anyways.
