[Q] Kies "This version cannot be updated"; Telstra-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7in ABANDONED?

[Q] Kies "This version cannot be updated"; Telstra-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7in ABANDONED?
Hi Friends,
Last week I bought 2 Tabs (Currently at AUD 400 outright). Since playing & today I found that, in Kies it says "This version of device cannot be updated." [See attached image]
What does it mean? Telstra model is GT-P1000T. Does it means Samsung/Telstra will not issue updates/upgrades for GT-P1000T??
what if we upgrade unofficial ROMs? Does these models GT-P1000T/GT-P1000L/GT-P1000N/GT-P1000 have any hardware differences that can brick the tab?
I appreciate you feedback.
Thanks & Regards,

Just ROOTed & Clockwork Recovery installed..

It means the version of kies has a problem

Hi - Yes I have the same issue. I just upgraded to the latest version of Kies, and I have a Telstra Galaxy Tab, and get the same message "This version of the device cannot be updated"..
Keen to understand whether other ROMs are workable to upgrade the device past the JJ3 PDA, JJ3 Phone and JJ4 (Tel) CSC

You can update to overcome rom. I flashed my telstra tab the other week. Works fine!

+1 can apply custom ROM. FYI I also bought it for $400 3 days ago but checked today.. & telstra got it $299 out right online only price... no winning for me :-(

wich method did you use to get clockwork on the telstra tab

same in uk

+1 for the Galaxy Tab WiFi GT-P1010. The Kies program indicates that I have the latest and there are no options for OTA updates. The firmware & Android had better be able to be updated.

Wow. I got my tab for $899 from Telstra in December. Cant belive they are selling them outright for $299. fwiw these are the same network freq as the ATT tabs and they run custom firmware without a problem.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

bought the tab from telstra on the 299 price tag. just installed kies on my windows pc and found that i have the same problem too.

Update: I got jmi via kies. If You are having issues try a custom rom at your own risk (jmi is way better than jj3)

I also have a Galaxy Tab, the P1000T. I have tried to root it so I could make a back up, but none of the rooting programs work. They go through the motions, but end result is nothing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to flash the device, with a 'unoffical' update, you need root access.
I don't want to brick the device, but I would like to update the OS/ROM.

Nowonmai, I have 2 Telstra p1000t's. You need to use super one click to root the tab. It's on the forum, do a search. Make sure to READ the instructions...
If you then decide to upgrade to Gingerbread, Follow the Instructions EXACTLY. I found the modem.bin in the [11.MAY.2011][ROM][GSM][2.3.3] ◄► Overcome ROM v2.0.0 BETA 2 ◄► GINGERBREAD!!! ◄► thread, the rest is in the [stock rom][2.3.3] p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjpz thread...
Works a treat...

I searched for "super one click" and all I got back was "Super one hip", something about a bag for toting things for kids.
EDIT: I searched for it as superoneclick and located it. Sorry took a while for the caffeine to kick in.

did anyone find out how to upgrade to 2.3 on telstras galaxy tab??? please let me know. or post a link if already has been discussed in detail

Yep

Works fine.
CSC can be changed after flash (I set mine to XEU)
Product code still ends in (TEL) though and same error from Kies about unable to update.
Otherwise works fine and lost crappy Telstra apps and boot splash.
All good!
Rooting not required.

Solved
hi i have the same problem too. but i found a solution. (Singapore Galaxy Tab owners - no need to go to service center))
1 first back up (very important)
2 check your region using *#272*IMEI# (mine is XSP Singapore)
3 then i change it to XTC (Philippines)
4 it will make factory reset
5 update you kies
6 plug it and ready to upgrade
7 after the upgrade you can return it back to the previous region (no. 2) (optional)
8 restore back up
9 download all your previous apps.
then enjoy..........

How do you check you region code ?
check your region using *#272*IMEI# (mine is XSP Singapore)
I cant type "IMEI" in the dialer ?
Sorry got it.... I inserted my IMEI number in that place and could get through.

I bought 2 SGT GT-P1000's. I wrote about a debacle I had purchasing them, as both said they were from U.K.-London addresses. Anyway, because they still had some Korean apps on the official Samsung Apps software, I sent them both in from the U.S.A. to Great Britain to have them "officially" put the correct English only software on them.
Long story short, got both back. One was updatable through KIES, one wasn't. They deleted all of the official U.K. apps that were originally on there(I guess they figured since I lived in the U.S.A., I didn't need or want them.
I had asked anyone before if there was anyway to get back what was officially originally on them as I too paid about $600.00 full price. I was able to flash both over to whatever rom I wanted and back to the stock Italy Gingerbread. But, yeah, it was weird that when they did come back(it was a long drama and took over 2 months-they were lost, sent to wrong service centre, etc., etc.
The reason I wanted the original software was because it allowed me to access the free $200.00 in software like the movies, music, ebooks, games that came with the purchase after I had registered them during their promo that Samsung had. They took that all off and when I go into the websites now, it says that I am not in an authorized network area-even if I change CSC or change time zone. So, I basically had downloaded them when I first had them and wanted to re-download my free stuff. Screwed yet again!

Does that mean if I change my location to UK or Sprint US, I can actually update the TAB throught the Kies provided by the local telecom operator?

Wierd phone -- not sure if its G900A ior G900F

Hello every one here is my story
i bought G900F HongKong Version.
started the rooting method as in this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
after reading and collecting the file, i restarted my phone to the download mode, and there i found the gateway to what seems to be a new phone nightmare.
in the download mode it show the model G900A (not G900F) the phone is brand new came with all G900F package and software. i also checked the IMEI and it show that my phone is G900F.
an hour ago i decided to go with rooting method in the above link, but odin wont flash the kernel. so i posted the issue in the above Thread, and i been told that my phone bootloader might be looked, and in this case its not G900F but instead it G900A, also i been told to search in the AT&T on how to check my boot loader status, but i could not find any clue, also google has no info on how to check my bootloader status.
Attached some photos of my phone details via Phone info app, and also attached the error from the download mode on the phone.
So fat my phone is still a live, i have not put my sim card inside yet (need to change it to nano sim first)
Thank you all

according to the BL screen its an G990A (which is the AT&T US model complete with Locked bootloader) but according to the other screens it seems to be a Canadian version which i believe is a W8 the baseband is ND3 which either the Canadian or U.S. model have. unfortunately it look like you may have bought brick. Try using Odin to flash everything back to Stock but Im not even sure what firmware to tell you to look for. my best guess would be to go by the Download screen and use the AT&T U.S. firmware try using this thread as a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55133105&postcount=1

Thank you all for your replies, i talked with the seller and even he does not know how this happen, my guess it might be a refurbished phone, anyway i am returning it, and will try to get G900F European version.

Nothing applies to my Note 3

I believe my Note 3 is an international model. N900AUCUCMLG. I bought it from ebay 6 months after being activated. None of the files I have read list anything ending in MLG. When I have run file recovery software it comes up as international. What roms and procedures here would apply for this Phone. I bought a note 8 to replace it because it wouldn't update and it became impossible for me to use for mobile banking and other applications. I lost my job and would like to upgrade the note 3 to work for a year or so longer and sell the note 8 to reduce debt. Any help will be appreciated.

Boot into download mode to confirm the model number.
The sm-n900a was exclusive to AT&T in the USA. The international model is the sm-n9005.
If the phone is an sm-n900a, you will not find a stock ROM to flash in Odin from updato.com or sammobile.com as AT&T never released a full ROM. They only released ROM updates over the air.

note 3 info from odin mode
Product name: SM-N900A
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
I would have taken a screen short but it was not working.
Hope this info helps

The phone is an AT&T model with a locked bootloader.
The best you can do is update it to the latest stock rom. See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
You can run a custom ROM but the custom ROM must be based on a stick room.

note 3 upgrade
Thanks so much. Now if I understand I can only go with a stock Rom OR a custom Rom based on a stock Rom. Lollipop is the lastest thing for this phone and is pretty out dated and I may end up with financial institutions shutting me down because the browser and software are out of date. Do any of the custom Rom over come these issue? And do these normally say custom with a unlocked lock image at start up?

note 3 upgrade
Now I remember going through this 6 months ago and had several issues. One is I never had an SD card installed and when I tried it would not install. I came here and got several reasons, size of card and manufacturer. Some were saying it has to be a Samsung SD card and others saying it has to be a certain size such as an 8GB. This phone is no longer active so I can't DL files straight to phone and mostly from what I'm reading I do not have TWRP or SafeStrap. Does this mean I'm done and or is it worth it to try this. I hated to give it up because it has changeable battery and mine has the over sized 10000 MAH battery. It only needed charging every other night. Also the link provided said not found when I checked earlier. Is it possible to DL files to PC and connect Via cable to upgrade?

You should be able to transfer files to the phone over Wi-Fi or a USB cable.
The phone cannot run TWRP, only Safestrap.
Did you have a chance to look at the XDA thread I linked?

note 3 upgrade
Yes I did go there and that's what prompted some of my memories about not having an SD card and unable to load an SD card to copy the files to. Also, the links with in the link to DL files are giving errors:
The file you are trying to download is no longer available.
This could be due to the following reasons:
The file has been removed because of a ToS/AUP violation.
Invalid URL - the link you are trying to access does not exist
The file has been deleted by the user.
I had also read a tutorial about how there are issues with safestrap installation. My first issue to over come is where to find these files and then where to copy them for the install.

Is the phone fully booting into the OS or are there problems with booting the existing OS?
Where did you see the phone's model # as being "N900AUCUCMLG"?
Maybe these files will help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76818174&postcount=245

note 3 upgrade
Yes the phone will boot to OS and even get new emails through WiFi. As far as the N900ACUCMLG hope this helps" Image below.
As far as the links as I stated previously they are not working. I thank everyone for their help. I just want to get this phone working so I can sell my Note 8.

note 3 upgrade
Is there a way to force the note 3 to accept an SD card? If not is there a place in Odin to store it for loading? I do have Odin 3 on my desktop.

WIth Odin, the flash files do not have to be on the SD card. In fact, I have never used the SD card to flash Odin files.
Did you try the OC2 files from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76818174&postcount=245 ?

Samsung SM-925A Updates and/or Custom ROM

I received a free Samsung S6 Edge from some friends. The phone had a busted battery which I fixed. The phone is still on the original 5.1.1 that the phone was released with.
When I try to do updates it says DM initialization not ready. Check network or SIM card. When I received the phone I was told it doesn't work with cell service. I checked to make sure and it definitely doesn't. There are no options for cell service in settings or the drop-down menu. This phone is missing IMEI numbers, IMEISV numbers, and baseband versions too. The only way I found out the IMEI number was it was printed on the back of the phone.
I am fairly certain the problems are software-based and not the motherboard but I don't know enough about phones to be sure. Do you guys know? I also want to remove AT&T from the phone to install a custom ROM on the device. (There is no OEM unlock in the developer options) Can I flash SM-925F firmware on the device to make it factory unlocked or will this brick the device? Will flashing the original SM-925A firmware fix the problems with the device? Please let me know if you need any more information to answer my question.

I found this: //G925A\\ Nougat 7.0.1 Latest Stock ATT Odin files G925AUCS7ERC1 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com) Should I flash this on my device? Will it fix any of the problems I had on it?

Can I flash the SM-925F firmware? Is the hardware of the factory unlocked phone and AT&T versions the same or will it brick this phone if I flash it?

Since the phone is AT&T you'll have to go through AT&T for the unlock codes before you can flash anything other than an AT&T ROM. To my knowledge there are no custom ROMS for the S6 Edge, but I could be mistaken.

I know this phone is old news however, I actually have the S6 and S7 edge lying around and so i got bored lol...here is my dilemma; Evidently the phone (S6 Edge G925A) had an abnormal factory reset, which is a load of BS, and now I can not get that security detail, which you know calling Samsung always ends to NO AVAIL!! I have flashed with Odin the firmware that my device is on the ERC1 firmware and still I get stuck @abnormal reset. I've searched numerous sites, different forums and still to no avail. Something told me inside that you was the man to drop a line to, any leads or info will be more than appreciated brother...Thanks for your time....
PSSS....
I got my unlock code from AT&T some time ago but the code is 16 digits long and code only takes 8 digits, and of course to hear AT&T tell it, " I simply must not putting the code in correctly"...lmao

S20FE Not Updating since OneUi 3 and Android 11

Hello all.
My S20FE (SM-G780F) has not updated from OneUi 3 and Android 11. It always says that I'm using the latest software. I've tried factory resetting the phone and using Smart Switch to no avail.
I'm in the UK. Never lived anywhere else. I reside here permanently. It's where I bought my phone brand new.
I checked the service provider software version and it says ZT0/ZTO,ZTO/EUX . However, when I use the dialler method to check the same information it says the CSC is BTL3.
I researched and ZTO seems to refer to Brazil. I've never been to Brazil or anywhere in that vicinity so I don't know why it says ZTO as the service provider information.
Could this be why I'm having issues updating? If the phone thinks it's Brazilian then it would stop me updating if I'm in the UK? Is that correct?
Samsung suggested I send it to them to flash the drive but they require a proof of purchase and as I bought the phone over 2 years ago I can't for the life of me find the original order email.
Just for clarification the phone has never been rooted or modded and all software etc is "official." I've looked into flashing the software with Odin. Would I need ro download the update file for the CSC my phone says it is or for the CSC it should be? Do I only download the latest update or would I have to stack them and download all the previous ones my phone missed too?
Please help before I tear my hair out.

flashing the phone yourself with Odin is very easy, there are dozens of YouTube vids to get an idea from. actually downloading the firmware is more difficult.
whoever sold you the phone is who you should be angry at, it obviously wasn't intended for use here. let me know if you want help flashing!

Same thing happened to my Mom's phone (a Galaxy A series device).
Use this guide and manually flash the latest firmware.
