You can update manually using firmware from sammobile. Download a firmware based on your country phone. For the instruction of installing.. you can see it on google.
Press thanks if i help

Already flashed and now I can't go back to Eclair, original firmware and I want a update this with Kies, but don't work, because Kies said to me '' Don't update this device''...
P.S.: I trying this, but don't work:
Download à firmware with no CSC in samfirmware.com (i have used I5500XWJG9 # Version 2.1 2010 July )
Flash with ODIN
When the phone is flashed no configure this
plug your usb cable
open Kies
Kies says "Youhou i have a udpate for your phone"
Accept update

Hi
I just got my phone yesterday through Hantec but they sent me a German model, so thought I would try (for the first time) to use Odin to update to the UK model.. which worked good.
I get
PDA I19100xxWKE7
Phone I9100XXKE4
CSC 19100XEUKD1
When I opened Kies though, it still showed (DBT) so I cleared the cache, did a factory reset and reflashed the KE7 firmware.
Now when I open Kies it's not showing any firmware, just says Current Firmware Version:
Is there anything I have missed in my steps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
****All fixed now
OK. I just read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 that if you update via Odin Kies wont show up the firmware info. You should read this
Thanks
I have read the whole thread. Funny, after I reboot the phone the right firmware shows in Kies but after I disconnect and reconnect it won't show again until I reboot the phone! I think it is a Kies problem.
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
i have a vodafone UK SGS II, using outside UK, my firmware i 2.3.3. i want to update my phone, the problem is;
i get connected to KIES sometimes, and disconnected to KIES after some seconds but i get a notification that a new frimware is available whenever i get connected luckily
most of the time i do not get connected to KIES
please help me in updating my firmware and tell me if i can update with OFFICIAL firmware without KIES?
since i am using my phone outside UK, if i update to latest firmware, is there a risk that my phone gets locked ?
i am also using juice defender and battery dr. applications as well, i dont know whether these apps are preventing my phone from connecting to KIES , can any one help ?

Of course you can update official firmwares via Odin. But as you are sometimes getting connection with Kies, I'd advice you to re install the drivers and then try again. And make sure USB debugging is Off before connecting.
However if the problem remains then Odin is the option, and you can get official firmwares from here,

additionally if i download the indian update version on my vodafone uk SGS II, is it ok, ?

as further informaiton
My phone build No. is Gingerbread.BUKG2
Kernel Version [email protected]#2
Baseband Version I9100BUKG1
Your Baseband is KG1! Did you update via Odin before? If you updated a leaked version then Kies won't support any further update.

How can I get kies to work to update my SGS to gingerbread?
Hi I'm a noob member of this forum, but have been watching it for 3 months. With suggestions from this site, I have eventually managed to get the current version of kies (2.0.0.11014_49) to connect to my Galaxy S I9000 - at least some of the time (it's a bit hit and miss).
I have been able to sync my contacts and podcasts from my phone to my computer using kies.
I can get to the kies screen for updating firmware. BUT - this is the really frustrating part - it tells me that my firmware is up to date.
It correctly tells me that my firmware version is:
PDA-JP5 PHONEJP3 CSC-JP4(XSA) - this matches the output of the not-so-secret key-code.
From the handset, in Settings About Phone I get:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband DTJP3
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #7
Build FROYO.DTJP5
I am aware of the post "Kies firmware update without using (all of) Kies!" by miki4242, but this doesn't apply to the latest kies. Does anyone know how to do the same thing with the current version of kies?
I'm also aware of the post "Kies 2.0 Registry Patcher 1.8.0.0, patch registry on latest Kies" by Nodial, but I'm looking to do it as simply as I can. I have not rooted my phone, and would prefer to use Samsung software (kies or part thereof) to get gingerbread. Surely it shouldn't be so hard!?!
(Or why can't we get it as a download direct to the phone from samsung or the market?)
PS: I tried to post this qn as a new thread, but the site wouldn't let me (the error msg said I couldn't paste outside links).
I never used Odin for updates however I recently updated via Kies and my current firmware is kj3, now waiting for official ICS update
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Hi, my phone model is GT-I9100 (unlocked)
This is exactly what happens when I try to update...
When I go to Software Update > Check for Update on the phone it says Firmware Update Required... the update will then download, phone will reboot and then there's an error message 'Update Failed try again using Kies".
So, when I connect my phone to Kies I get the message... "Your device does not support Software upgrading via Kies" And when I right click on my device name under 'Connected Devices' the 'Firmware Upgrade' option is greyed out (see pic below)
I've tried removing my sim card and memory card before reconnecting to Kies. I've done factory reset many times... I've uninstalled / reinstalled Kies many times... also on different computers not sure what else I can do now?

It probably is a defect with the phone. I think I'll take it to a phone repair shop and see if they can flash it for me. Thanks
