I had a different problem with updating through KIES, but all the same, Odin flashing is the best way to go.
Have you all got the latest version of Kies? I believe there was a sizeable update recently. I can't really advise more than that as I get updates from here and use Odin.

Ver.2.0.1.11053_99
Same problem, that I am facing. Latest kies as well. Seems like kies is the worst software ever designed in the history of mankind.
Any simpler way to update the phone. Does ODIN require root?

Yes Kies is 100% Worst ..If you use ODIN Once you cant use Kies (Official Firmware Updater) till you get back to Official Firmware again (The One you got with Mobile)
Any One Know How to Fix it?

I would stay with official kies updates if you are a noob. Try kies on another pc maybe or update the drivers.
If you really want to use other methods I'd search the forum for guides.
I wouldn't be a suitable candidate to advise you.

If you use the official firmware for your country, rooted or not, KIES will function normally. I wonder where a lot of the BS being written online about using KIES and rooting causing KIES not to work properly comes from.

Hi,
Don't use KIES for updates.
Use ODIN3 1.85
Look for the HOW TO, and for downloading your official firmware here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Ok Thanks,I will read it..Do I need to be in download Mode to update my Firmware from Kies?
my phone? it wont update it at all.... it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
I did update it ages ago with odin to XWKJ3
How can i get Kies to update it again?
Cheers
Then you use ODIN to update simple as that . You no longer have the correct codes for KIES server to match to an update .

i've got the same problem

Depends on what region your phone belongs to download and flash the latest ROM released for your region and you are good to go
You can get the boxed ROM and the latest through this website
http://fus.nanzen.se/
Use intratech's thread for flashing the stock boxed or latest ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
nope cant get it to update! its doing my head-in.... My phone is open on all networks and not locked so i have no clue what software to use!

Hey guys,
well, i have googled the problem and searched this forum for a solution and i came accross many i just want to know what is the updated solution for "Your Device does not support software updating via kies".
I have just installed "I9300XXBLG8". Everything is stock.
actually i heared that i better use "Check fus downloader " in order to check for an update, and that what did, but maybe there are small bug fixes which can be solved by updating though Kies.
So, is there a solution to this problem?
thanks guys

Well the first step is
the question is their a firmware update for your phone or are you just trying to update to something that is not on the server as LG8 is a very recent firmware .
second step as always can be that you no longer have the correct codes presented to Kies as you have flashed firmware .
CHECKFUS = a KIES download

im looking for any update, any new update which improves the device or fixes problems.
What do you mean by "correct codes"?

Kies is not something that gives you any update any time .
It supply's the updates your phone vendor has uploaded no more and no less.
Codes you are messing between KIES and stock via Odin make your mind up one route only .

Hi all Mizzeeboy here
I just wanted to know if it would be ok to unroot my phone:good: then update as I rooted my phone to unlock it so I could avoid a fee.If I unroot i9300 would I be able to download all other samsung updates from kies all right without my network being f**ked because I have an update for my phone on kies and i'm eager to update but I wanted to ask the experts so i'm sure of what i'm doing.
Thanks

I would like to use kies as I think they do more official updates than odin don't get me wrong odin is a sick program but I would like to stick with kies as I broke my old s1 with odin and do not want to have a new problem.
But do you know if I unroot and upgrade ? will my network be locked again?
How did you unlock your phone?

Voodoo unlock requires ROOT so im guessing not, you could backup your efs then restore it once you've upgraded maybe

Neither kies nor Odin does the upgrade..samsung releases the upgrades..on kies you will have to wait for the updates to be pushed by Sammy..using Odin you can download the update from Sammobile/samsung-updates and update any time you want..
by the way..Odin will not mess with your phone if you perform the steps correctly..Kies took around 50 seconds on my PC to open up..Odin does that in 5 seconds...
though there are some advantages of kies as well..such as backup and recover but for me..Odin trumps Kies

WHAT?!?!
They are the exact same firmwares, kies is just one way of getting the exact same firmware that you get from samfirmware.com. THE EXACT SAME, JUST AS OFFICIAL.
In fact you can get more recent firmware from samfirmware than what you will get from kies. (If your CSC isn't BTU)
Forget about kies and use Odin.
More official.....SMH....

Thanks for that information but could you give me some sort of guide of odin and how to use it as I hate it a lot after what it did to my old phone which was my own fault anyway.
And no one still has'nt answered my question regarding the unroot and my mobile network being locked

Odin is simple, boot into download mode (vol down+home+power) connect to computer with Odin open (kies closed and removed from system tray) put package in PDA, make sure repartition is NOT ticked and press start.
If you use Odin properly it won't damage anything.
Yes, depending on how you unlocked it there is a chance it will be locked again, Samsung blocked the method that voodoo unlock uses in the updates after XXBLG1.

So I got the phone from uk - not tied to any carrier and I see uk got the jelly bean update but I have nothing.
Also a question: I rooted the phone but didnt install roms or anything, will that be a problem for updates or not? Also I am not from uk.
