What OS are you on?
Did you download the update.zip and move it to the root of your internal sdcard (no folder)?
Doesnt sound like it.

but as to your problem i have experienced this in the past. i was never able to fix the problem with out using odin or the aio toolbar (nomaraider linked to) to revert to stock. It could be something as simple as you having a bad download resulting in corrupted files. if you wish to use odin there is a mirror for all the odin files you will need in my sig.

OP, have you checked the noob guide in my signature? It may really help explain the process, and provide any files needed.
If for whatever reason you still dont understand after reading the noobguide you may also wanna pop over to youtube and check out videos from mobiletechvideos they give a good visual to go along with the the noon guide.
On youtube search mobiletechvideos vibrant and a whole bunch of videos will pop up but first read the noon guide or you likely wont understand fully what is going on in the videos.

Hi guys, does Kies store downloaded firmware on hard diisk or can i put a firmware somewhere on the hdd so that kies can detect it.. Disconnects at some point while downloading firmware and hv to restart download..
does Kies store downloaded firmware on hard disk
Yes in TEMP folder for about 30 seconds before it starts to install .
can i put a firmware somewhere on the hdd so that kies can detect it
Worth a try from memory its either the temp folder on root of C drive or a new TEMP folder on C drive ..
Really clever users use Odin to flash stock firmware .
Also check the Check Fus thread and original carrier branded post in dev section.

Kies nowadays pre-downloads your firmware, and stores it there... so it definitely stays longer than 30 secs, no hurry there mate ;-)

You actually checked that as last time i checked Kies downloads yes to temp folder file can be copied . Once update starts file has gone .
Possible later Kies holds the download longer .
Big advantage if it does stay long enough to copy but in the past if you have not grabbed before update starts its gone .

What KIES does nowadays: it checks for updates for your phone, even when it is not connected; When it finds an update, it will download it, and give you a pop-up stating there's new firmware for your phone...
Most likely the firmware still gets deleted after updating, but then again: who needs the firmware after a succeeded update ;-) I can't test this for my self, since I'm a custom-rom user...
ps) it might be that I've checked some box somewhere in the past, enabling KIES to do this...
Thats good likewise i cannot use Kies .

Just out of curiosity, I decided to check where does Kies store the Firmware in Windows XP. So, here's the path:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp\Binary\GT-I9100
A side question. The firmware file stays there with no extension. Even if I try to rename it to .tar or .zip it cannot be opened. Is there some simple way to "extract" the firmware file from its storage place?
I cannot find the .....binary directory

I cannot find the directory noted in the quote above. I have a folder named: C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Temp\KiesLiveupdateTemp
In it is only a file named PlugInHost.XML which contains the following text:

- <PluginHost>
- <Hdr>
<Status>300</Status>
</Hdr>

So where is the file that contains the upgrade to ICS?
Same here. I am on window 8. All I have is pluginHost.xml under the kiesliveupdatetemp folder. I just updated by GT-8013 via Kies. Could not locate the actual firmware files.

That's nice and all but why go through all this hassle? Flashing that file(which you can manually download faster than through the Kies downloader) through Odin gets it done faster and better, and it wouldn't even void warranty.

May be my reply is too late.
I found an answer somewhere in XDA forum and tried it.
I found tmp file in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\
it is like tmp9A2D.tmp ( ranging file size from 200 MB to 900 MB depend on HP and FW type)
it is unpacked into a zip folder with exactly same name as tmp file in same location during update.
when hp is connected to PC in "download mode" Kies unpack tmp file and transfer to HP and upgrade it.
I did manage to copy zip folder before if finish upgrading process.
keep an eye on status windows, let it finish unpacking, copy zip folder once it start transferring it to UP , it show green arrow directing from PC to HP showing percentage of work done.
folder is deleted automatically once upgrade process finish
Good luck

YOU are right, it is the one. Only thing is that is is availabe for a few minutes only while Kies is transferring those files and upgrade HP. the whole folder is deleted after that.
you can copy that folder and save somewhere in HDD for future use.

I know this is an old post, but where can you download a firmware manually faster than Kies can? Kies downloads it in minutes . Sammobile, for free accounts, takes hours.

There is no other way to download firmware manually faster than kies unless someone uploads the files onto a different mirror.
So, some of you gave some paths where the ROM downloaded by Kies can be found. But does somebody know the format of this file?
Then, If I can locate and copy this file, can I use it in order to upgrade my smartphone without re-download it?
I mean, I have several device I would like to upgrade and I don't want to download the upgrade for all of them, as they are exactly the same device. I know I could do it via Odin but for personnal reason, I don't want to use Odin.
Thanks
BEST way to accomplish your goal is thru Odin, dude, Kies is mostly the "end-user" photo-mp3 transfer software. AFAIK there is NO way to transfer the firmware from one Kies instance to another, it gets stored in a randomly named .tmp folder and is deleted after use. IDK about original file format, I grabbed a copy of mine after Kies extracted what it DL'ed and it was in .tar format.
TT.TT today, I somehow bricked my galaxy player...Can anyone please try to upload the Pit file..
Here is how to do it:
1. Download Heimdall Suite
2. Open "heimdall-frontend"
if you encounter errors in windows, you need to install the zadig libusb driver. 3. Remember to "show all" from the menu in the program.
4. Put your device in Download mode
5. Click the Utilities tab
6. select an output filename. The file should always end with a "pit" I'd recommend something descriptive. eg..
GalaxyPlayer4.0-16G.pit, or G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit
7. upload that file to mediafire
upload it to mediafire
TT.TT

yup...I saved my ROM before re-partitioned it ...>< what is your version? Mine is Galaxy player 4.0 16Gb?
I will upload it, and post it here as long as I am done.
I sent you the link via inbox. The forum didn't let me post the link.
After restoring the ROM, can me do me a favor? TT.TT follow the 1st post and upload the PIT file.....I will be really really appreciate it.
Thanks
I got the PIT file. But, what to do next? TT.TT any idea?
Sorry I answer so late, but I wasn't able to make it work. I think I also need pit file, because when I bricked my device I used a pit file from US version.
If you have the pit file you can use Odin to write the ROM
Regards.
I see I am not only guy having crashed their original PIt file. (sad)
I see a group of XDA expert working on that but I am not allowed to post because I am beginner.
I have seen many post about PITs file availability but no one about the 32Gb version i am looking for.
I have already tested many of them with different FW without big success, the best is to reach the Galaxy player logo after the boot signal. I seems it is a lack of space may be because i use the 16Gb version.( all wipes done)
I read that the original PIT is present in every FW, how can we extract it from there in order to replace the wrong we are using?
Can you adress my request to some expert if not boring.

Did you download the entire package ? it may happen if the download got interrupted mid way ......... in that case you'd have a zip file of a lesser size which can't be opened ....... try extracting the zip if you get an error you've got to redownload the package....
also ensure that the package is not read only (just incase)

how do i check the md5 checksum in multiupload?
i m downloading the latest version now... hope it wont get disconnected...
Find an app like MD5Summer (Windoze) to check the MD5 sum once you've downloaded the package.
Also, you can use pretty much any archive program (7Zip, IZArc, WinRar) to test the archive once you've finished downloading it.
If it comes up with fail for *any* file, don't flash that package/download it again. You might have to try downloading it from a different PC/internet connection like I did a while back when I was having probs downloading roms from home without them being corrupt.

thanks y'all!!! been a great help... very nice community here
The MD5 checksum is usually listed next to the link where you download the archive wherever you're downloading it from. Honestly, it's not that important. The most important thing is you get the entire file. And if you "test" the archive in 7Zip/IZArc/WinRar & it comes up all files OK you should be fine.
I've never had a problem flashing a rom/kernel where the test in IZArc has indicated all files contained within are OK/the archive isn't corrupt.

Why not download the stock rom from here ? I wouldn't know about files from Samfirmware as I've never downloaded anything from there.
If you want to go back to stock, download the rom from Intratech's thread, flash it in Odin, done. Again, test the archive integrity in IZarc or similar to make sure it's OK (given you seemed to have had some problems downloading an archive that wasn't whole or corrupted).

I just flashed UHLB2 from Intratech's thread.
My phone downloaded the file fine, and Odin had a green 'PASS!' in the top left corner. I think it installed OK as well as I saw the word 'Sucessfully (something)' just before it rebooted.
But now trying to turn it on, the phone is in a perpetual state of starting up. It just replays the starting animation over and over again.
What is wrong?
Also, I noticed the file I downloaded was ~286MB, as opposed to ~333MB in the file from sammobile. Intratech's file was .7zip, and sammobile's was just .zip.

I'm just speculating... I don't think 7zip files are compatible with Odin. That's probably your problem. The 7zip file from Intratech will contain compatible zip files. You can extract it using the program 7zip(freeware) which I'd highly recommend for general use anyway.

Yeah I do unzip the files with 7zip, after which it is a .md5 file.
And I've flashed many times before using that method so I don't think it's that. Thanks anyway.
.7zip file is not supported by Odin.
You need to extract that .7zip file, you will get .zip file that supported by Odin.
I think the downloaded file you used is incomplete. Most of the file sizes downloaded are around 350MB or higher. Recommend you re-download the file again or even an older release and re-flash the phone.

No. Odin can flash .md5 so you should leave it. md5 files actually help because Odin can check the md5 hash and stop if the file is corrupt/incomplete.
But you have to extract it from 7z because it can't flash that.
Sounds like you've got an incomplete file if the file size is less than what you'd expect. Re-download and try flash again.
Also, to those saying extract the 7zip file; I'm pretty sure OP said he had done that before flashing and had used the .md5 file. Unless I'm reading his posts wrong, in which case, yes unzip the 7zip file and flash the .md5.

Hm..
I've downloaded and flashed again, but I have the same problem. The new file was bigger than the original one, so the original was probably incomplete. But the file has been at about 274MB for about 6 hours now on Intratech's post. I guess I'll just have to stick to LA4 for now then.
