it's better to go back to your previous rom and wait for the official update

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 .

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.

thanks to all for helping me in this....
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?
Sorted ,,,actually tried it on Win Xp and after two failures with decompressing binary files it went thru the third time
Seems like Win 7 didn't like my brand new galaxy S2

Hi there,
I believe you have to update the Samsung drivers on your PC. Then download the latest version of ODIN and then download the latest firmware of your device from this website and choose the latest firmware and also region.
www.updato.com
After that then try and flashing the firmware on to your device.

Tried, to no avail.. heading to my brothers to try the entire process on his PC. ( Drivers, firmware, Odin, success!??)

Hello all
i am having troubles with a Samsung orginally it came up with the black screen of death the phone has some form of life as it is charging and laptop knows its there but no sounds and nothing on screen so Flashing is my goal at the moment
details of the mobile phone in question
Samsung Galaxy SM-J700F/DS
originally from Smart communications Philippines
am also flying blind when getting it into download mode as nothing appears on screen but based on research nd a few youtube videos it appears the unti does go into download mode as Odin and sam tools pro sees it
had downloaded a firmware and tried using it via Odin but kept failing at the last part and also samsung tools also failed at cm.BIN
i am not 100% sure if the firmware i got was the correct one as seems there is many but the one i got its file name was matched from sammobile i believe
could someone hook me up with a solution a way to get this phone going again and quite possibly point me to a direct link for the firmware based on the details i provided
would really appreaciate the help many thanks
Use SamFirm tool here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647/ (it still works even though the post says it is deprecated) to download the latest stock firmware directly form Samsung servers. Another one which does the same thing as SamFirm is Fijra https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910594.
Enter SM-J700F as the Model and SMA as the Region/CDC and click check updates then click download.

SOLUTION is to replace your screen.... 99% can be that your screen is dead...
I my Phone Fixoppo for android should work
It should solve the problem because it will download the correct firmware and it doesn't use odin
