[Q] Stock Upgrade to JH7

I have a stock (JF6) ATT captivate. I am in the U.S. I pulled Kies off of the UK site. I didn't make any changes to Kies registry (Win7) entries to fool it into seeing a different (non-ATT) phone. Kies is telling me it has a f/w upgrade available to JH7 but it gives me a server 404 error (cannot find) and won't download the f/w. Should I just ignore this and wait till froyo or is Samsung really trying to push out an upgrade for ATT phones? thanx

I have the same thing going on

Kies has an update or android has an update? Every time I try to check for an update it tells me it cannot communicate with att.

Kies on the PC (not ATT through the phone) says "You can upgrade the firmware" when you hove over the lower right pda/phone icon with an up arrow. On the Firware Upgrade popup it gives model name, current verion, and latest version showing the pda and phone latest version is JH7. Then I get the error.

Did any of you try changing some regestry settings? The Galaxy S forum found a test 2.2 rom for their device through Kies...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769043
Maybe there is a test rom out for the Captivate as well?

I am on JH3 and altered my Kies settings to JF6 and i get nothing.
Can you post a screenshot of your regedit settings and make sure to blur out your phones personal information.
I am eager to get a rom that has better gps over anything else.

I have not had this problem at all, but I am still running JF6 stock. It could be a custom firmware or ROM causing this problem. However, there still are not any updates OTA from AT&T.

you need to be in tw-launcher .. at least that's how kies recognizes for me
Im gonna try to see if I get an update :O
--EDIT--
I tried it.. and I can't get it to shake hands because it says "This device does not support this service" X-x..I guess I have to be using JF6 not JH3 D: ?

for some reason other home launchers won't work with usb functionality outside of the development mode.
if you delete your default action for the home button and choose twlauncher, the usb will work for mass storage mode and for Kies.
i noticed the link provided in XML, didn't appear that way on my xda client on my phone. There was an actual link pointing to JH8.tar. i got no where though

Firmware through Kies ?

Hi
It seems I have a firmware update through Kies.
Im not able to update though, maybe because I am on JM8.
Can anyone confirm an update through Kies ?
Im in Denmark -

You could just simply change your kies info in regedit and try again?

No you don't have an update, it only shows the firmware that is installed on your device. That is why you can't press "Upgrade".

Hmm im afraid I dont understand - Looked at regedit, but do not understand what you mean

The latest firmware in Scandinavia is PDA/MODEM/CSC = JM2/JM2/JM1, your firmware is newer than the official and JM8 is a good beta release.

ok ...
Originally on this ...

[Q] Samsung Kies "Device not Supported" error

Hey guys. I have had my Captivate since the beginning of September. I downloaded Samsung KIES and was able to download the update back in Sept. I have checked periodicially for any updates, was able to sync contacts, and all that. Yesterday, I went to check for an update, and there was one available. After downloading the update, KIES could no longer recognize my phone. I shut down my computer and the phone. When I reconnected, KIES told me that the "device was not supported." I have redownloaded it several times, but to no avail. I am trying it again, using advice I found on another forum service, hoping it will work. However, has anyone else had this issue, or is this an issue that seems to be plaguing the new update? I thought I was downloading a new firmware update for the phone, however, It may have been a KIES update...

What update did you install on your phone? Post your firmware, baseband, and kernel versions, along with the build number.
Also, this probably doesn't belong in the development section. You should post this in the general board.

[Update] I downloaded KIES again (the newest version) and it still says my device is not supported. My computer recognizes the phone, just not KIES...Is it still possible to download an older version of KIES, because the issue seems to be the version of KIES, and not my phone...?

This info would really help...

I didn't actually update my phone. KIES was downloading the update, and once the update was downloaded, my phone was not recognizable. I will move the forum to the general discussion and post the info there... Thanks!

i have the same problem on my i897. i m running latest cognition rom on mine that could be the issue?

I have the same issue with Kies. I downloaded an update for Kies and now Kies no longer sees my Captivate. My computer sees the Captivate no problem. I have been looking for an older version of Kies to go back to.

Kies update issue
I had the same problem once my version of Kies updated last week. I tired everything, cleared user setting and cache, formated the INT SD card.
Did a ODIN one click restore to the original firmware and tried the above steps again... Nothing...
I had to uninstall the full version of Kies and go back to the MINI version of Kies, then all was fine...
I'm suspecting that they updated the full version of Kies to exclude certain versions of the Galaxy S (Captivate in my case)...

I had the same thing happen after I let Kies update, tried everything I could think of, it would not link to the phone. I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the older version I first had, all is good again. I suspect it was a deliberate move, as Samsung now says the Captivate can only be updated with Kies mini.

I concur, since AT&T has removed all native tethering and WiFi AP ability from the captivate, I think they pushed Samsung to remove captivate support from Kies. I don't have time to look around, but perhaps Kies has a config file that can be updated/changed to re-add captivate support.

Same here. I just updated Kies to 1.5.3.10103_100 just now before doing research on the adverse affects (Who'da thunk it that I would need to). Turns out that after Kies installed the update, it can no longer recognize my Samsung Captivate. I am running Cognition 2.1.6 ROM but that shouldnt matter. Just last week I was able to connect to Kies and back up my calendars and messages. Now....I am getting the "connecting the device..." message. That message has been up for the past 40 minutes. I have not reflashed my phone for at least 2 weeks now.
Seems like the Kies update to 1.5.3.10103_100 did something bad.

Same Problem
Its the Kies new version bug !
need a solution

I went back to the older version kies (1.5.3.10075_17)
and it works very well now .. i think new version kies have some bug or problem

Have you read this thread? It's not looking like a bug - more like Samsung doesn't want the full Kies to work with US Captivates. Kies mini still works, and that's what Samsung wants people to use.

In case anyone is looking for an older version of kies, I found one at turbobit.net/i8v2c4oixldz.html

Thread moved to Q&A.

Remember you have to be in TWLauncher for Kies to work.
Also if you search for Kies you will find many prior versions.
I happened to have 1.5.3.10093_82 and reverted from the update.
Everything works fine.

I installed a previous version of Kies and it works just fine. If anyone needs a older version you can find it at samfirmware.com
They list all the versions that Samsung has made under the Samsung Kies link

encountered same issue.
here's another alternative link to older version 1.5.3.10092_2_1 that seems to work.

[Q] Latest Kies But Device Version Cannot be Updated

I am only on Firmware Verion XXJF3 and I know that a newer version is avaiable. Yet for some weird reason my Kies application does not recognise this. I thought getting the new version would help and today I got the latest Kies 1.5.3.10103_100 but still no joy :-(
Also my phone was purchased on Orange Contract if this helps
any ideas please?

I think it's because the phone is an Orange contract phone, Samsung have said Froyo has been released but won't be available for contract phone users until about the end of this month.
Hang in there buddy

Thanks for the reply. Im surprised that even the newer version JM1 is not avaiable as opposed to Froy. I would have thought that at least I could update to this version :-(

device's version cannot be updated
Hi,
When I select firmware upgrade from Kies, I get this information:
Model Name: GT-9000
CurrentVersion: PDA:JF3/Phone:JF3
This device's version cannot be updated.
I have done a factory reset to my phone and even unrooted the phone but still i am getting the same error.
I have tried to reinstall Kies as well but no luck.
Did any one find any think on this.

Hi,
I have a question that's related.
If you have an Orange contract phone, but have flashed with a firmware to remove Orange branding, does Kies then think that your phone is non-contract and subsequently update it?
Thanks!

Yes, Definitely the only way, Samsung intended for their phones to be upgraded.
In the past (could be due to Microsoft animosity) KIES was a headache to get it to function, But lately it has improved, so yes go ahead and connect it with KIES and follow its directions to the dot.

It could be due to some modifications you had made or some updates had made to the build.prop would cause KIES to believe its not one of their models that has an upgrade. In that case IF you are not using a branded phone ( some Branded models use only KIES Air for upgrades and cannot use international firmware), you can chose a ROM even 2.3.6 (the final gingerbread version for i9000) from the firmware for your region and use odin3 to flash.
