Hello Guys,
I had rooted my SGN before & restored to stock ROM DXKL2. However whenever i tried to update the firware from Software Update, it always says "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or Visit Samsung Service Center".
The update download & installation seemed to run well accordingly, but after reboot with "Uploading Media Files" display, the screen simply goes off half way for reboot again, and once SIM PIN gets input, the above display shows up.
May i know how is this happening? Thanks in advance.

What was the Firmware version when you bought the Phone?? If it is different than KL2, Try restoring firmware which was ter when u bought it. Then Update via Phone or Kies.
Thanks for the tips, Mr Ranjan.Alva. It really worked when i flashed it back to its out of the box stock ROM DXKJ3 Gingerbread 2.3.5.
It could simply download, install & reboot perfectly to latest ROM DXLA1 now

Hi all,
I am new to this Kies flash process and have read people having problems when updating their ROM to official releases.
I am currently on JF3 and Kies is offering JM1, I want to upgrade but am wondering if there is a "recommended" way to update?
I have an unrooted phone and have installed software like Launcher Pro, Advanced Task Killer, Alarm Master etc...
I was wondering if I should do a factory reset first on the phone before I upgrade to JM1?
I am running Windows 7 and Kies is on version 1.5.1.10074.2 running in Administrator mode and I have Antivirus turned off.
Any tips for a hassle free update greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance
No just update via Kies... Unless you havent rooted your phone and you dont have a lagfix installed you can update the normal way.
Remember that your data may be corrupted after upgrade and i would advice to do a factory reset after upgrading the firmware to clean up the phone.
So backup your data!
there is a new version of Kies out just today
link is in the wiki
Thank you for the info guys. I did the upgrade and it work flawlessly.
Got a bit scared when Win 7 said that it was installing drivers halfway during the install and the device appeared to get disconnected
But the progress bar kept going and I waited about 5 minutes and it completed and rebooted the phone. Now I am on JM1 and it does run better
I will check out the new Kies too.
Thanks again for the input.
Hi there,
New to android phones was a sheep and had an iphone before. After reading how to get kies to work I have finally got the phone connect and kies is telling me that there is a firmware update available. However as soon as I click update and select the phone for it to upgrade it simply says that it can not complete the firmware update. Can anyone help me please or tell me of an easy way to get the update onto the phone.
cheers
Matt
You just got your phone connected to kies right and nothing else?
yeah it is only connected to kies but is still online as well do i need to put it in flight mode or such like
is wifi on if so disconnect wifi and unplug and replug the phone.
everything is off wifi and network still won't do it kies just says firmware update can not be completed have backed up everything off my phone and restored it to factory and then tried this and no joy
in kies there is a driver recovery option on the top left menu run that then unplug and plug in again
now getting a little further it starts to get into the downloading bit but then says msc.thunder.firmwareupdate has stopped working and closes. Any ideas how to sort this
i am also having this same message, anyone know the reason for this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791334
So i heard about the 2.3.3 updated for the tab and i decided to check via kies
And knowing (from my SGS) that i have to update first with the old update to get the latest i decided to do that (the one from January or something)
But when i try i get an Error Saying that Kies could not be administrator permission from the Tab
Is this a known problem?
PS: anyone know how to change the language in Kies? i would prefer it in english because it makes it easier to describe problems
some users over at swedroid have some issues with sgs. no solution yet
Sorry. not allowed to post link
So i changed computers (usually do kies updates on my laptop) and its working fine
currently half way though the firmware update
Unable to update via Kies as well
I am getting the same message. States that I do not have the permission of the P1000 device administrator.
Was trying to update an unlocked Euro P1000, using the newest version of Kies and Windows 7 Premium. Also tried to use my XP to do the same, gets stuck on the screen after hitting the update button, or comes back with an "unknown error."
I hate Kies, but am would rather not root and bootload as I'm selling this in the next month or so.
Think I am moving away from Samsung. Love their hardware (have a Galaxy S and Tab), but hate their support and software updating.
Hello,
I can only suggest you to look at Overcome rom in the developers section.
There is an amizing guide explaining you step by step how to upgrade your tab and at the end you'll have a much better 2.3.3 rom than Samsung stock one.
If you still want only Samsung rom stop the update process when it says to install Overcome and you'll end-up with a very clean rooted stock 2.3.3
best solution seems to be a clean install of Kies. Uninstall, clean registry, download new from samsung, install. Kies must be center of gravity when it comes to bugs :/
My gear watch is stuck on the (firmware upgrade encounter an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again }
Here is what I did:
When trying to get the null rom running.
I got into this problem "IF TWRP IS NOT DISPLAYING CORRECTLY LIKE THE FOLLOWING:", as shown here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537338
So I followed the first step:
DOWNLOAD THE STOCK V700XXUAMK7 IMAGE. (FLASH A FRESH INSTALL, DO NOT SKIP)
I accidentally flashed V700XXUCNE9, instead of V700XXUAMK7.
And then without setting up the watch on samsung gear and without getting into the debug mode, I tried to flash null again and it kept on stuck in the "NAND Write Start!!" message.
So I then tried to flash V700XXUAMK7 and it got stuck too after which I started getting
"firmware upgrade encounter an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
I am unable to get into the download mode or the recovery mode. When I long press the power button, it throws me back to the "firmware upgrade encounter.." error.
Please please help. Is my watch recoverable ?
Update: I reflashed V700XXUCNE9 and its up and running now Looks like I was trying to downgrade it and thats where it was failing.
I want null rom on it and looks like it only can be put on top of V700XXUAMK7. How do I go back from V700XXUCNE9 to V700XXUAMK7 ? Can I flash null_03_TWRP2.7.tar on top of V700XXUCNE9 ?
You can, it does not care about any bootloader or stuff like that. It just repleaces a bunch of files on the system partition.
Lucky you, most of the times its a brick, i recommend you to use tizen the battery life on tizen is amazing
Thank you all. I was able to get back to Android and then flash the null ROM. I have the nova launcher running now but I am unable to use internet from my Android phone (LG Optimus G E970). It shows as paired but does not connect to the internet.
Also Play Store crashes when I try to add an account of use existing (says Google Account manager has stopped working).
How do I sync this thing with my phone, getinternet to work, make calls etc. ? Please help.
FYI: I have already checked for this from the FAQ page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2573449
INTERNET ACCESS
GO INTO "FULL SETTINGS -> BLUETOOTH -> SELECT YOUR PHONE SETTING ICON (ON THE RIGHT OF PHONE NAME) -> TICK INTERNET ACCESS".
ENSURE BLUETOOTH TETHERING IS ENABLED ON YOUR PHONE BEFORE HAND OBVIOUSLY.
But I am still unable to access internet.
did you get this working,
Did you add bluetooth tethering on your mobile
Flashing Null on V700XXUCNE9
@getmexda,
Did you come right with this eventually?
I have gone through a nearly identical process as you, accidentally flashing V700XXUCNE9, instead of V700XXUAMK7 and have been unable to get either TWRP or Null installed. You said, "I was able to get back to Android and then flash the null ROM". How did you do this? And did you resolve your issues with the internet access?

Hi all , 1st post here so hi from Scotland.
As t' title says I'm having Hassle's updating my GT-N7000 from 4.0.3 OTA vie settings/about phone/software update/update. It downloads fine, reboots and runs the extraction/update however when it gets to the home screen I'm told that the update has failed and to connect the phone to a PC via Kies Air. Only problem is I don't have a PC but i do have a nexus 7 13 which says is incompatible with kies according to Google play.
So I'm here begging favours people, anyone got a suggestion or workaround thingy? And thanks for reading.
Is the device rooted?
No, there's a couple of launchers installed but it's not rooted.
I was wondering if I downloaded it and then booted to the boot-menu if I could run it from there, but then would that make a difference?
You can make a backup of your files & settings and do a factory reset. Maybe after that the ota update works. Give it a try, if not you need a PC and flash latest Stock Rom...
Thanks User_99,I'll give that a try. :good:
