i'm in the same boat. i flashed back to roger's stock 2.1, kies recognizes my phone, but doesnt detect that there's an update available for it.

If your using Kies 2.0 check this modif http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903347

Check your product code like I did in my post here, because I had the exact same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10406775&postcount=221

hi there i'm having the same problem. Kies recognizes the phone but doesn't show updates so i followed your post and checked the registry and there i noticed there are 2 devices.. one is the phone when it was completely stock and the other is now after being flashed to cognition and back to stock 2.1.. the differences between the 2 are huge!! how do i get it to revert back? since i would love the official 2.2 any help would be greatly appreciated

Kies Mini and Samsung Captivate

I was tweeting with a samsung helpdesk person. Here is what she said about kies mini:
"Currently Kies Mini doesn't perform any functions for the Captivate. As for 2.2 I don't have any information but we are working on it. "
If I flash stock JF6 then does it mean that I cannot get the JH7 update through kies mini? Anyone recently (last few days or so) did this kind of update through kies mini? Help is appreciated. Thanks

She's right, as far as compared to regular Kies, which has lots of functions. On the Captivate all it can do is update the ROM. You should still be able to update to JH7 with it.

Do the flash back to JF6, using Odin3 One-Click.
After done phone boots, wait till done, do a Master-Clear with Odin3
Kies-Mini will then work for you
You could use the OTA JH7 also
Using Kies-Mini is the way I would go/went
Good Luck

Keis Mini Update
It seems like Keis Mini updated a few weeks ago. I just opened it up and it's updating again. This version is 1.0.0.11014_6. Has anyone else seen this?

Did you try kies mini or the full version kies that we can download from the non-US samsung site? My kies mini works just fine to identify my captivate. Have you put the phone on USB debugging and kies(firmware update) modes before connecting the USB? Also, you need to open the kies mini on your comp before you connect the cable to your phone. If you did all these but still facing problem then I am sorry I don't have a clue

Looks like Kies mini is the only Kies that works. Yes, phone on debugging, and yes phone on Kies mode. Spent more than an hour with Samsung and they were unable to figure out the issue.

One more thing. Were you on stock touchwiz launcher? You need to be on touchwiz to get it working!

If you have flashed a custom rom, modem, or kernal, and are receiving a "Unregistered Device" or "The update could not be installed" errors in Kies, you might need to restore your /efs folder from backup after flashing Odin stock JF6 and rooting. (I used adb to restore my backed up folder.) Then reboot a couple of times. After verifying your restore to be a success, flash with Odin once more and you should be good to update to JH7. This process worked for me just yesterday. I think the error has something to do with product codes inside of an encrypted file called nv_data.bin. There are guides for the backup and restoral process in the dev sections and in the i9000 area. Just run a search for "restore nv_data.bin" and it should turn up in the first few results. Also trying using different usb ports has worked for me in the past.

Did not know that. Will revert to stock TW launcer and see what happens. Use LauncherPro primarily.

Will try this. As far as I know, my product code and imei have not been hosed... thus far. But have my original /efs folder saved on my PC hard drive and a flash drive so will give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestions.

Unofficial firmware- replacement phone?

Hey guys,
Carphone Warehouse sent me out a brand new to replace my broken one, i got it today and i tried to update it from 2.1 to 2.2 in KIES but it says it is an Unofficial Firmware, the firmware information is completely different to what it should be.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy Europa (5) I5500- This is what it says on KIES;
PDA:JED / PHONE:JED / CSC:JF1 (H3G)
As you can see this is not right, any help? I don't really want to mess around flashing roms etc- bad experience in the past.

Help me please- I'm lost without half the features from Froyo

Anybody?
Would my only option be to Root and flash to an official stock and then update?

Go to http://www.samfirmware.com to download (registration required) the official stock ROM and Odin. Read the guide on how to update.

Can I safely flash my phone to stock 2.1 via Odin and update to 2.2 through KIES? I know what I'm doing but obviously it's a risky thing- Basically I download the I5500 UK firmware and the Odin+OPS file- using one package and protect ops?

Just flash direct to 2.2. It should be the same update that KIES have.

I just flashed to Cyanogenmod 7.1 with CW Recovery, ill flash to 2.2 whenever i get bored of this, so far im loving it.

[Q] Help with upgrading from GB to ICS via Kies

So I had downloaded Kies and it was ready to upgrade my blaze to ICS, but I read that the phone should be unrooted first. So I did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591601
Apparently that was a mistake. Now I get the following error in Kies:
"Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies" "Current firmware version: PDA:LB7 / PHONE:LF4 / CSC:LB7 (TMB)"
Should I have just upgraded without unrooting? Why is it telling me this? I thought this was the stock ROM? If I keep flashing me Blaze with different ROMs without completely reformatting, will that slow it down?

You gotta go back to the OG rom before the first update.... If u look there is a thread about it on here somewhere

I used this and now Kies is timing out trying to upgrade to ICS when it gets to the 100% downloading firmware part. Apparently reading the thread this tar isn't good for upgrading to ICS. But you did somehow?

Yup it took me a couple tries but it worked

that's a kies issue. lets face it, it sucks. but that's the only tar I've been able to find that puts it back to Samsung Official and allows you to upgrade via kies. If you dont trust the links I have, you can find the tar at sammobile.com but you'll have to register to download

[FIX] "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies" is fine and 100% working. I can personally confirm this ;]
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda premium

I never understood why people choose to use Kies... I personally hate it. It is much faster and easier to do it the XDA way and root/CWM and then flash whatever rom you want. If you want I'll post the quicker way to do this. No one has hard bricked from this method and its quite simple.
Root your device (you already have I see)
Install CWM HERE. (make sure not to check re-partition)
Boot into CWM by holding Volume UP and Volume DOWN and pressing POWER. USB must be unplugged. (could take up to 20 seconds to load CWM)
Flash your new ICS modem HERE in CWM
Now you can install any ROM you wish. You can install the stock ICS rom or a modified ROM. It is best to always have CWM just in case something messes up you have options to fix. If you install through Kies you have to install CWM over again anyways. This is faster. Now to install a ROM, there is a common process that will help out....
To install a ROM:
Boot into CWM
Perform a factory/reset
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik cache (under advanced)
Install zip (ROM)
Reboot and let your phone sit for at least 5 minutes, 10 is preferred.
Newbie Guide for Modding
You can read the above link for a small rundown on CWM and its available options. If you are here on XDA you probably should have CWM.

I had unrooted my device before installing CWM and didn't see the part that says to root it before hand. I installed it, seems to work fine. Will I have any problems.
Also, I just learned you're instructions are missing a step, I have flash the actual ICS ROM here:

Before the radio mod you listed. Other than that, thanks!
P.S. What do you mean by "modem"?

Sgh-t769 ics

I have an SGH-T769 with android 2.3.6, Baseband T769UVLF4, KERNEL 2.6.35.11, BUILD NUMBER Ginderbread.UVLB7. I am trying to update via kies to ICS 4.0 and it says my device isnt supported, I have updated my baseband to UVLF4 so I dont know what im doing wrong and I dont know how to update the build number to UVLF4. I just did the suggested fix via Jparnell8839, maybe I did it wrong?

1. Questions, no matter how 'dev-section related' they are... go here.
2. I suggest you Odin to stock ICS by downloading the ICS firmware (Uhl something with a 5) from SamMobile.com (I think its down. I can provide a download link later)
3. How to do it?
4. Get your firmware. Download Odin 1.85. Put phone in download mode. Click on PDA, select stock ICS firmware. Uncheck repartition. Hit start.
5. Wait.
6. You SHOULD be on stock ICS now if you followed correctly.
7. Use this if Kies is not working.. otherwise.. try to use Kies.
8. Hit thanks.?

Fixed, and Sorry!
Thank you, I have fixed it. The baseband was UVLF4 but phone version was UVLB7 so I updated the baseband via clockwork mod with T769UVLF4 Baseband_Update, I then flashed from within clockworkmod recovery this rom: SGH-T769_UVLF4_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM. I then did wipe dalvik, wipe data, etc and rebooted. I started kies and BAM! Kies says firmware version available. I am sorry for posting this in wrong section. Thank you for the help. I now have gone from gingerbread to ICS to gingerbread back to ICS.

Just remember to post in the right section next time.. it ticks off the devs.
