Hi Zuki,
Normally Kies always takes the latest update of original firmware (region). If you're actually able to use others than AT&T it will always be the case before and after updates.
And if I'm not wrong, a Network lock is only placed on a phone before the sale, not with updates.
I hope it helps.
Kr,
John

This is firmware versions and you could normally expect that the newest (highest number) always is the one to bet your money on ^^
So XWKE7 is the latest firmware upgrade?
How come kies shows I'm up to date with firmware XWKE2?

There is nothing wrong with your new baby...
What you experience now can be compared to the feeling you could have if you suddenly thought there was something wrong with your new chick and everybody else had an upgraded and better one..
Relax and chill down.. Your new girl is just fine ^^
What you could do is to ask yourself if you want to tickle her under the “hood” or wait for the official fix every new girl will get later anyway..
If you would like to be hero or not is up to you…
It’s not like this is climbing Mount Everest or something,,,

These ARE official updates.
This all depends on your carrier. If you are on O2, for example, you will not yet see KE7 in KIES as it hasn't cleared with O2 yet (probably).
What you can do, and the instructions are in the 'Development' section of the forum, is remove the O2 branding from your phone. Your phone is then just 'generic' i.e. it hasn't been modified by O2. This means you get the updates as soon as Samsung release them!

Update path one official via Kies requires the phone provider to update the firmware from Samsung and upload to Kies server . Kies update is to latest version phone provider has uploaded .
Path two are Samsung stock roms that we flash ourselves via Odin .
As this may debrand your phone it may and i repeat may effect the warranty from the seller but not Samsungs warranty .Two the upgrade path via Kies may be closed and updates are now stock roms via Odin .

thank you for the answer. I bought my phone from Amazon . uk. , unlocked.. how could i know who is the phone provider???

Its probably generic then you try Kies for an update .No update on very old firmware i would try Samsung Service centre .

:-(( what if my phone is 'generic'? does it mean that i will never get any update ??.. And i really tried Kies.. but i was told that there is no update for my device... Please tell me what does ' generic' mean?.. sorry to be a nuisance .. but i am new at these ...and want to learn ... Unfortunately there is no samsung service in our country ..

Pros and Cons of Latest Indian firmware DDKQ5

Hi Folks,
We have got a latest firmware DDKQ5 via Kies.
Lets make use of this thread to discuss about the additional features, Pros/Cons of this version.
I made a call to the samsung customer care on their toll free number this evening.
I was inquiring when the GB update would be released in India!
The call went to a senior authority as the initial guy who spoke to me was not aware of what i was speaking about.
Then i was told that they are not sure when the official release would be done.
I kept on asking that for other regions its there, why not India, then that guy told me, they have not released it via KIES yet, but if i want a GB update i can go to the service center and upgrade.
YES! THEY SAID WALK IN TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND GET IT FLASHED WITH GB
Then i called the nearest service center asking for updates, they said that still they did not get it from Samsung, they will get it next week (September 1st week).
Lets hope for the best.
Can u guys check with the nearest service center and reply??

Hurray we got GB..
Yes.. Its via KIES.. KQ5.
I Installed it, it is now running with 2.3.4
Kies giving error - "This version of the device cannot be updated."
i am on s5830ddkc1.

U want ICS update? no, the first release is US device,if u want to ICS u must change u region
Use condi's aio. Tool and root ur 3.2.1 honeycomb firmware and change ur. Region to usa and u will get the official usa ics firmware
I have done this on my uk tab and running ics. so pretty sure it can be done on urs also
But after upgrading to ics plz dont chnnge the region back to italy it will brick ur device let the region be of usa only
Hope this helps

I have a uk 16gb wifi only sony s
Is it quite straightforward to do?
Or will the uk version b out soon?
I still have no info regarding the uk release of ics
Yeah its kinda starightforward to do but one thing after u do it u cannot change ur region back to uk if u change ur region back to uk it will brick ur device
U need to be in usa region itself until there is some exploit for it in near future
Thanks for the quick reply, I only got it at the weekend so I will play with it for a while and see if ics comes out for uk soon
Don't want to risk a brick just yet though I am keen on getting ICS
Cool device though
Ciao!
ICS isn't been released in europe yet..I updated mine via condi's tool 2.7 flawlessly.. if you simply change your region,you'll lose root for the moment. I suggest to update soon because ICS is much way better!
Sony Italy doesn't know that ICS for Tablet S was released. You can use condi's AiO tool, but read all the instruction in the post. Not avaible for now for 3G model, only wifi

I would assume that this would upgrade your HBoot, breaking your root and possibly upgrading to an HBoot that can't be rooted.
If none of that bothers you, and you are completely stock and want to stay that way, then I don't see any problem with upgrading to that.
Just my opinion.

Depends if he is rooted. That OTA might not flash until he unroots. Best thing to do is if your s-off is wait till the devs throw something up so you can just flash the raidos and a stock non bloat rom.

Except hTC temporarily removed the update off the website until they can fix it. The one linked on that thread will not update your phone, because it gives everyone a 158 error.

Ok, what did you do to get it to update? I RUUd the previous version thinking that it could get the new one to update, but that didn't work. So, basically, my phone is completely stock right now (I relocked the bootload before doing so, of course)
I have USB Debugging enabled, otherwise, it won't detect the phone if it isn't enabled. This new update calls our phone a PDA Phone and the first screen telling what it will do has like "asdasdffkdsgj" on it.
--EDIT--
You have the international version of the One X+, which has already had a proper update.
