Decided to make a thread on it since I have two posts floating around that have helped people:
I was once one of the large group that the OTA JH7 Update failed at 50%
However, Today after downloading Kies Mini, I was successfully able to upgrade and remain "stock" JH7 from update without root etc.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
THERE APPEARS THERE MAY BE ISSUES WITH KIES MINI ON 64BIT SYSTEMS - USE A 32 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM
Launcher Pro and Kies Mini may not work well together, if you are updating from a NON-FRESH JF6 you must revert to TouchWiz (Stock) Launcher
1.) Flashed a fresh JF6 ODIN One-Click. (With power off, you can enter download mode by holding both volume buttons and inserting USB once ODIN is open)
2.) Enabled USB Debugging and Ran Master Clear.
3.) Installed Kies-Mini on the PC and let it install the new drivers etc.
4.) Checked phone to be sure it was clear of any additional files on the SD.
5.) Under Settings - Applications - USB Settings - Selected "Ask on connection" (you MAY also need to re-enable USB Debugging, try without it first)
5.) Started Kies-Mini and then plugged in my device selecting "Kies"
6.) Upon device detection it notified me an update was available.
7.) Ran update and I am now Official STOCK JH7 including the new QuickOffice and Media Hub
Proof that it made it to 100%: (This screen shows after download & install - It is verifying the install)
You find a download to the JF6 ODIN One-Click here: (Thanks to DESIGNGEARS)

Special Thanks to Krad for notifying the community that Kies Mini was now available!
Thanks to shawnl01 and ScottyNuttz for discovering that "Enable USB Debugging" may solve a few problems
Thanks to Dxtra for pointing out that Launcher Pro and Kies Mini do not work together

Worked for me. Kies-Mini, not the full Kies. Just "Unmount SD Card" and leave it unmounted. Set USB setting to "Samsung Kies". Uncheck "USB Debugging Mode".
This assuming that you've done Odin3 (JF6 flash and Master Clear) correctly, and cleared user and data cache.

Included, thanks for the notification of the release of Kies mini and making this possible for so many!
A little nit picking, there is no such firmware as JH6. Please update your OP with correct information. The first release firmware is JF6.
You sir are correct, thanks for catching the mistake!
JH7 over Kies Mini
OK, I decided to give this a try. Here is what I did:
1) Flashed back to stock (JF6);
2) Cleared cache & user data;
3) Formatted SD card;
4) Connected to PC and Kies picked it up and quickly indicated update of JH7 was available;
5) Kies updated - it took about 15 minutes to download and install.
The first think I did was test the GPS and it locked indoors in less than 10 seconds. I did not have WiFi or "Use wireless networks" on. It gave 10 meters accuracy within about 20 seconds.
I also noticed the media scanning was very fast and there seems to be very little lag. All-in-all, so far, I think this is a good update. I will post again after I've tested the GPS out and about and a week or so of use to see if the lag remains minimal.
This whole update ordeal is sorta tickin' me off.
For whatever reason, I have not been able to install OTA. "Update is failed." message appears every time.
Attempted update last night with standard UK Kies. Said no upgrade was available.
Just attempted Kies mini and every time the phone is plugged into the computer is causes the application to throw an "Application has stopped working" error under Windows 7.
Phone shows JF7. CSC and PDA show JF6.
What... the... hell!
I am also on Windows 7 and had no issue, did you try using the software provided above? Also, did you remove the other version of KIES and follow step by step?
Also maybe try using a different USB port, and run the application in compatibility mode

Yes. Software provided above. Removed all traces of previous Kies. Attempted in XP compatibility mode. Ran with Administrator privileges. All of it.
Still nada.
Guess it's on to Odin, reflash stock JF6 and start fresh.
Anyone have any ideas about the unregistered I get on kies mini? My phone is registered with samsung if thats what it means.
When I was on Cognition etc, I was still able to connect my device to Kies Mini just not update it.
Try this:
On your device, make USB connection to Kies as default by going to [Settings] > [About phone] > [USB settings].
Then unmount both of your SD Cards, Internal and External.
Go where your installed Kies. For example:" C:\Program Files\Samsung\KiesMini" look for AMiniLauncher and start it
Then try to connect your device.
Now im getting a "failed to connect to the model information server" Anyone else experience this?
EDIT: Seems to only happen when in USB debugging mode. When I switch out USB debugging I get the unregistered error.

Glad to hear it worked for you! What did you do wrong in ODIN? It may help someone else out!
I heard somewhere that launcher pro and kies don't work together, go back Touchwiz default launcher. Hope that helps.

This is true, I didn't make note of that because the instructions assume that they are starting by flashing a fresh JF6 through ODIN.
But If they make the attempt from a non fresh install that would be a very good point. - added to the instructions! Thank you!

Make sure you are using Kies USB mode and has TouchWiz as your default launcher and you're on your home screen when you connected your USB cable. All three must be met and if you're doing right, your phone will show MTP Application screen.
Hey guys
I have installed the .net 4 framework and then I installed kies. I keep getting prompted by something called "teruten.com" it keeps asking for permission. If I click yes I get a "service initialli failed right after and the blue kies box stays there and then I get prompted by teruten.com again. If i press no, it just asks me again. Then it kies finally loads and when I connect my phone, I couldn't update it because I had it in mass storage mode. So I disconnected it and put it on kies mode and it didn't recognize the phone. Not even in my computer. Its weird, now I just noticed that my computer wont even recognize the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I kept getting the exact issue when trying to use Kies and finally gave up trying to figure it out. I had all the USB drivers installed correctly and verified but it just wouldn't work. Someone had posted about using Excel to modify the hosts file (if i remember correctly) but that didn't work for me either. I think the bottom line is it's a not for US app at this time. although some have managed to get it to work, it's a crap shoot.
Also when i attempted to get it to work it embedded itself into Outlook 2007. After unistalling Kies I would get an error (can't remember error) in Outlook everytime starting up. Finally had to uninstall and reinstall Outlook to clear that up.

Remove anything Samsung from your computer including drivers.
Download and install Mini Kies. It will reinstall drivers.
Connect phone and see if it's recognized.
STAY AWAY FROM KIES.
Samsung can't give us a phone that works properly and you want to use a software package that isn't designed to work with our phones. That is unless you are not in the US.
If you are trying to use kies to sync your outlook contacts and such you can use kies 1.5.310093_82. You can NOT use it for firmware updates. I used it to sync all my outlook contacts when I first got my captivate. You can find it on the forum. I had uploaded it and so did others. It will try and update to the newer version, don't let it or it will stop working for you.
Here is the download:

Thanks guys.
Has anyone encounter this issue? can post your problems, answers and solutions here in this thread
My referb gt+ said that so I just flashed the latest firmware that's in the dev forum.
Hopefully we'll start to see some beta ICS ROMS soon?
the G+ tab I had when I joined this forum (a few days ago) took "factory reset" too literally and just KEPT resetting all night, I'd only had it for a few days so I took it back and swapped it for a new one. Tried doing the KIES backup thing at first opportunity and yes I have the same message about firmware. My 6210 is stock and I might keep it that way, my primary interest in rooting it was to try to get rid of touchwiz or at least be able to swap the apps that are in that stupid quick bar (that I keep hitting accidentally when I go to hit the spacebar while using the onscreen keyboard - I really REALLY wish I could just disable it, the quick switch icon is plenty for me to get to the apps I really do use frequently).
Sorry I can't be more help, but you are not alone.
Yes I have same problem. I always get message: Your deviice does not support software upgrading via Kies. I don't know what is problem. But I don't care about this problem. Before I had regular tab 7 and I newer upgrade device via Kies. I always did via odin. My device is 6200.
When you plug in the USB cord from your GTab to your computer, do you see MTS activate and a USB icon on your GTab? Also on your Systray icon can you "see" the GTab?
If not, I'm thinking the USB drivers on your computer might need updating?
I have the same problem on my rooted GT7+. Here's my setup:
1). Latest Kies installed on a MacBook Air running Leopard
2). Connect the GT7+ to Kies via Wifi
3). Receive error about not being able to upgrade via Kies
Those who have problem, are you connecting via the same method as mine? Googling for this issue yields some result whereby if you're connecting via Windows 7 and USB cable, it works. Of course, I haven't tried that.
BTW, pressing "Check for Updates" in the GT7+ itself does NOT do anything.
There is a new version of KIES and it updates the firmware too
1. There is a new version of KIES as of February 9.
2. When I connected my Samsung Galaxy 7 Plus to my PC while running the new KIES, it said there was a firmware update for my device (which is already 3.2 Honeycomb).
3. It is now installing the new firmware.

Yup, I got that. Kies actually informed of the update.

Hmm, maybe I am running Mac and that's why I don't get the notification.
Is your device rooted and connected via USB?
HTC Thunderbolt 4G LTE
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ WiFi (P6210)
Not rooted.
Connected by usb.
PC.
Hey Guys, my forum search option is inoperable at the moment but i needed help on an issue that has probably been touched down on at some point. ever since i installed the new ICS update from rogers yesterday kies will no longer see my phone whatever i do, i can still see mY SD card and internal memory drives but can not for the life of me get kies to see my phone, anyone have a solution? ive already tried unchecking and rechecking debugging and stuff
Maybe try uninstalling both Kies and the USB driver and then reinstalling?
What do you need Kies for anyway?
+1
Ya..maybe ICS requires new drivers. Have you let Kies update itself?
yes i did let kies update, and i needed kies to back up my data
Hey, I'm a little stuck - for the past couple of days I've been endlessly trying to get my GT-N8010 updated to the latest firmware but haven't been able to do so. I'm not quite sure how to do it in Odin, but I've seen that the UK update is available through Kies, so I've been trying to do it that way.
My Windows 7 laptop recognizes the tablet, and so does Kies, but Kies doesn't even show my current firmware version - and any time I try to go to Settings > Firmware Update settings or Settings > Firmware Update and Initialisation Kies either greys out and I can't interact with it or it crashes.
Am I missing something or is Kies just not the way to go? I've tried all the solutions I can find - ending all Kies processes in Task Manager and trying again, uninstalling and then re-installing Kies, and even the old "blow on the USB" trick... But nothing seems to work. I managed to get the update notification through once, but when I clicked download Kies just closed and since then it hasn't even notified me of an update.
Could someone offer some advice, please?
Many thanks in advance!
