Kies Test Mode in lastest version - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed an old version of Kies i found because for some reason the new one wouldnt install. i havent manually updated it, or accepted any notice for updating as far as im aware, but it says i now have the latest version..
anyway, how do i get this into Test Mode? ctrl + alt + u + p i read is the combination, but this doesnt do anything?

Start the firmware update, when the dialog has opened press CTRL + ALT + U + P.
Update window needs to be open.

You are clicking on the kies menu option the choosing update? If so... it's wrong! Down on the bottom right of the kies window is a little mobile firmware update icon click that !!
What you are doing is checking the firmware for the kies program itself I think.... common mistake made by many!

no sorry im not, thats just stupid lol!
im in the device firmware upgrade window, that butto combination just doesnt work, can someone thats done it on the latest Kies firmware tell me if it actually works anymore?
EDIT: ive just uninstalled, and installed this version that i found Kies_1.5.0.10024_74. nothing happens, can someone show me an SS of whats supposed to happen?
EDIT2: i installed the latest version for samsung site, and test mode works in this, now what is it supposed to do lol? i expected a greater list of firmwares? it still says my firmware version 'cannot' be upgraded

I am also having problems with CTRL+ALT+U+P. When I go to firmware update, I get prompted to backup of contacts, which I do. Then I get a screen saying I have the lastest firmware. The key combo does not work here. Tried it on all the previous screen leading up to this one and it still does nothing.

Doesn't work in 1.5.3.10093_80 Which is the latest Kies UK. What version are you running?

You can enable the testmode in the newer Kies versions via registry. Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8455385

guys the solution is in the Wiki
check the wiki pages to enable test mode in the newest version

In my registry there's no "FUS_TEST". After "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung" i only have Kies folder...
I've installed the lastest version of Kies (1.5.3.10103_100).

Can somebody post direc link to this newest version since my doesnt want to update :-/ It is contantly saying that it cannot connet to internet and I am connected and surfing.
Tnx a lot
EDIT: I have done it, ESET Smart Security was blocking it even tough I have alowed it. Maybe it will help someone.

anyone know how to get test mode in the 2.0.0 KIES?

I'm afraid not. I don't know how to obtain firmware upgrades either - it tells me to click on the device and go to the "general" tab - can't find the *?&%# thing!

Get Check Fus Downloader to enable TestMode in Kies. It's still experimental so please report in the thread. If you want to do it manually you can try this registry entry:
Code:
------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies2.0\FUS]
"Setting_1"=dword:057abb32

[TUT]Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 05.05.2012 GalaxyMini s5570~ODIN~UPDATED

Hi guys i'd searched this forum but i didnt found a direct link on who to update the Galaxy mini to Android 2.3.6 aka gingerbread.So i did a lil google searching and i have found 2 methods.Correct me if this is already posted here,i'm just trying to help.And sorry for my eng. SAY THANKS IF YOU LIKE MY SUPPORT
ATTENTION!!! I'M NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT YOU MAY CAUSE TO YOUR PHONE,DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISC!!THOSE FIRMWARE ARE FROM THE EUROPEAN OFFICIAL UPDATES,THEY WONT WORK FOR ASIA/AUSTRALIA!(i didnt test it)
You dont have to root your phone for any of those two methods.
THE LATEST ROM IS THE ONE FROM THE FIRST METHOD OF FLASHING!
You will need: -A WINDOWS XP,VISTA,SEVEN machine
-NET COMPACT FRAMEWORK 2.0
-USB CABLE AND THE S5570 ,doh!
First Method(4 files mode) ANDROID 2.3.6 updated 05.05.2012
1) Download this version of Odin from HERE
2) Download and install KIES from HERE (if u allready got Kies pass this step),we need KIES for the latest USB drivers
3) Download the firmware from HERE extract it
4) Download OPS file from HERE
5) Make shure that your phone is 70% charged
6) Turn off your phone
7) Now enter ODIN,you will something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8) Load the OPS file that you have just downloaded by clicking OPS on Odin and select TASS_v1.0.ops
9) Now from the firmware that you have extract it(THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART)
-APBOOT_S5570XWKTN_CL1019135_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5 goes into BOOT
-MODEM_S5570XWKT6_CL1000416_REV02.tar.md5 goes to PHONE
-CODE_S5570XWKTN_CL1019135_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5 goes to PDA
-and GT-S5570-MULTI-CSC-OXXKTB_RST.tar.md5 to CSC
MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET IT RIGHT!!!
10) Enter Downloading Mode,press VOLUM DOWN ,OK BUTTON, POWER BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME!
11) Connect the USB cable,now in Odin at COM PORT MAPPING is should appeare the USB cable as connected(COM1,COM2 etc)
12) Now make shure the in ODIN the only boxes that are checked are AUTO REBOOT , RESET TIME and PROTECT OPS after you have checked press START,now u have to wait 5-6min.
13) It must say above the COM connection PASS on a blue backgroud to disconnect the USB cable and u are done.!!EVEN IF THE PHONE BOOTS UP DON'T DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE,WAIT FOR THE PASS SCREEN!!
METHOD 2(1 file MODE) ANDROID 2.3.6 Updated 09.02.2012
1) I guess now u got ODIN and KIES(look in the post above),and your phone haves 70% battery
2) Turn off your phone
2) Now we gonna download the 2.3.6 firmware from HERE and extract it.
3) Then we download the OPS from BENI OPS (ATTENTION! IF IS NOT WORKING WITH BENI OPS USE TASS OPS) we gonna load the file and we have to check the option ONE PACKAGE then we click the ONE PACKAGE button below and select the file from the folder that we just downloaded/extracted SS5570XWKTZ_S5570XWKT9_S5570OXFKT5_RST_HOME.tar.md5,the only options that should be checked are ONE PACKAGE,RESET TIME,AUTO REBOOT,PROTECT OPS
4) DO A FACTORY RESET,DONT FORGET!!! AND REMOVE DE SD CARD (you must do this to avoid errors,but isnt a Must )
5) Enter Downloading mode,explained above is the 1st method,connect the USB cable,and wait for ODIN to connect to your phone COM port(see above),press START button.
6) Wait 5min..wait for the PASS screen (like above),disconnect the USB and you are all done.

The second method comes with an updated firmware version ,and the first one is an older version... bouth are "save".Save as in, if you respect the steps if you dont you may BRICK YOUR PHONE.I'd tested the first and the second method with succes!
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
added a vote pull.
some guys are telling me that next month we'll get 2.3.5
Installed using One package method using the latest firmware. Worked fine, no problems whatsoever. As a reference it lasted 5:17 in ODIN. If you do factory reset after update, default language is Russian, but English and many more are included.
Thanks dany547 for the nice and simple guide.
Am reusit numai cu prima varianta, am inceput cu al doilea, dar dupa restartare a aparut numai logo-ul Samsung, si tot repornea dupa 20-30 secunde. Cu prima varinata merge foarte bine. Mersi
PS. In viitor pot sa updatez telefonul cu KIES dupa ce am facut updateul cu ODIN?
Im trying do download the ops file, but when i click on it my firefox open the file. what i can do to download it???

I8700XXKI3 firmware released on SFR-FR network.

*SFR-FR Operator KI3 Firmware*
OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2424.11.9.3
Hardware revision number: 3.15.0.4
Radio software version: 2424.11.9.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version: 5.9.1.4

So far, haven't noticed and significant changes from KG firmware. Will update this thread when I find any.

You have to change your operator code to SFR-FR using RootTools and use Zune to check for update.

It worked fine for me on omnia 7 Mango RTM, here in Italy!
But now the question is: Will I receive Mango final update or I'm right so?
Many thanks.
If you updated the firmware you should already have final mango. Anyway thanks for help. I will try it tomorrow
Oke I tried this and it worked for me. I thought I would get internet sharing, but I can't find it at the settings
I forgot asking an important thing. If i update will my Phone stay unbranded (no app or sfr logo) and will my Phone stay product (not engineer)?? Really thanks again
About Internet sharing..we have already got it with diagnosis menu..don't be upset if we Don't have the setting in the normal menu!
Well, you get it via Zune, the official way, so it is retail, not engineer release. Phone stays unlocked, internet sharing (enabled via registry) still works, unbranded, basically no visible changes except new firmware / radio / bootloader versions in "About" page. Download mode still works as well.
Probably some little fixes only.

many tnx for ALL your usefull posts! i will tomorrow hit 3x tnx button just for you!
i have updated now my omnia 7 (000-08 unbranded) Mango relase with the latest SFR-FR Firmware.
feedback:
- I can't find special improvements
- the VoiceSearch works very, very bad. it uses much time to bring a result and you must very near to the handset microfon or you must very, very loud speak
with my last firmware 2424.11.8.5 VoiceSearch worked very well
- a very good thing is the zune backup function now i´m back on 2424.11.8.5 firmware

What can I say is that before the fimware update posted in this thread I have updated my omnia 7 with the one you can find here.
It seems to me that my gps is not working good, after update, but I don't know if that depends on the new installation of Navigon Select 4 because I didn't have time to try other gps apps. Is there anybody facing the same issue?
Edit: Gps works fine!!!!

Stock Rom 2.3.6

Today I tried to update via OTA (Over the air. In the System Updates menu) and for my surprise it said that I can update my firmware so, I updated and Now i'm in 2.3.6 there are a few small changes, for example at the final of the scroll will appear a blue light, AGAIN is faster how in 2.3.4 (For me 2.3.5 was laggy) and I guess that more improvements...

Seems that only some regions have GB available. What I've heard is that no one in europe and asia has a gingerbread update.
My GF's s5660 is also stuck at 2.3.3. Even when the USA already has 2.3.7...
Guess that samsung doesn't really care about their customers...

I'm using doomloord root too, but i'm not having problem with titanium backup when i'm uinstalling an app.
You can try upd_1.zip to root...
And for mirror downloads: Look for the package name of the ROM on sammobile.com, cope the entire name, and try it on google. Many people uploaded them to other filesharing sites as well. Password is mostly the same. Off course you'll have to watch out. Check if the filesize is exactly the same, etc, etc.

Worked! Tried it on another computer with the latest USB drivers from here and Odin 3.04. Probably my problem was in USB drivers that Kies installs. Thanks!
I have an International S4 Active, which apparently come from France with MF5 on it. I can flash the UK (BT) MF5, and that works. Any MF7 based rom I try to flash ends up getting 95% of the way through and failing with "Ext4 error". I have tried Australia and UK MF7 images without success. Has anyone else successfully upgraded an MF5 device to MF7? I can see that it should work for a UK(BT) device according to this url:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...ive-android422-i9295xxuamf7-jellybean-ota.htm
Maybe I should've bought a UK device, but when I bought it off eBay it said it was an "S4 Active International" .. *shrugs* I was surprised to see it boot up for the first time in French.

[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker

Hello guys
I have created a little tool to download and check latest Samsung firmwares since it seems CheckFUS is not working anymore.

}
To get Region code and other info from your phone use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app by @vndnguyen. The download function features Pause / Resume.
You can use it for all Samsung devices, but I have only tested it on Galaxy Tab S. It requires .NET Framework 3.5 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) installed)
If you run it via command line, you can use it to just decrypt .zip.enc2 and .zip.enc4 files.
Please let me know if the tool worked with your device and if you found any bugs (note, it's still beta).

In firmware info you input the data from your device (see example screenshot)
You can get needed information from Settings => Device Information and in Kies.
Thanks, zxz0O0.
One question: does it download from Samsung's servers or from an unnofficial source?
Bugs and suggestions:
1) BUG: If one of the parameters is incorrect, it gives the error message in the text area, but the controls remain disable, so I cannot correct data and try again. I am forced to quit and start over.
2) Suggestion: save the last used data (Model, Region, PDA, CSC, Phone, etc)
3) what does the "binary nature" check box mean ?

It is downloaded from Samsung servers. Thanks for your suggestions / bugs. I will correct (1).
2) This is already implemented. The last used settings will be saved to SamFirm.xml
3) I am not sure exactly but Kies uses this if you select firmware initialization for example. I have not really checked it yet, but there are more *.tar.md5 files in the firmware
Edit: Updated attachment with (1) fixed.

How fast does it download since sammobile caps your speed and takes forever to download.

I get around 4MB/s over WiFi.
Nice thanks.
Worked OK when I was downloading firmware for the Tab S but doesn't work now for the S5.
Keeps saying "Input String was not in the correct format".
Shame because downloading from RapidGator from SamMobile takes forever.
Nevermind
