Hello all, I have a Galaxy S that is unlocked, i have been trying to install Android 2.2 using the latest Kies software, but all i keep getting is the following.
Current Ver: 2.1 - Update, PDA:JF3 / Phone:JF3 / CSC:JE5 This version of the device cannot be updated.
My wife has the same phone on the Orange Network, this updated straight away with no problems, and works just fine.
I was wondering if it is the fact that if the phone is unlocked, and the update is not possible. We live in the UK. Any help would be greatfully received.
Thank You
I was hoping that this would be the Forum that would have least given a reply to my thread, but it seems not so. I notice that over 200 hundred people have looked at the question.
I live in hope than an answer will be forthcoming, even if somebody tells me to go away.
What kind of Galaxy S do you have?
You can do the registry hack for kies to change your product code and update to the generic rom, however I believe this hack has been patched for the most recent version of kies. I'll see if I can find a link to the hacking guide for you.

[EDIT] - Now following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098586
My phone congratulated me this morning, saying that there was an update available from T-Mobile.
I checked out the forums and searched Google News and could find no information on the update or what it was going to do. Was a little paranoid it would help T-Mobile throttle my DL speeds or have some other negative effect. My phone is not rooted.
Got antsy at work and installed it.
Disappointingly, it is not Gingerbread. It says my firmware version is 2.2.1 my kernel version is 2.6.32.9 build FROYO.VUVKD1
Anybody have any idea what this is?

kd1 is supposed to fix the sms fail error, and the reboot issue, and is faster. Weve had KD1 for a while now, unofficially
old news
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsu...for-our-Samsung-Galaxy-S-4G-users/td-p/839425
could have manually loaded it weeks ago. it was official from samsung and tmo. they didnt want to push it over the air all at once and cripple their network.
it's been good for me.
kd1 has also been out officially via kies u can find it in the tmobile sgs4g forum.... but i guess u chose to wait for the OTA.... and success100 said its also been out unofficially...
dont forget Thank if info was useful.....
So...
So what the hell. Can it be rooted?
please read.Just use Super1Click
There is alot of information on the board.people like you are driving good developers away like krylon..please read and you search remember none of us get paid to help you
Hi guys,
I am having some problems with updating my Samsung Galaxy S 2's firmware. The only problem is that Kies says I have the latest firmware PDA:KE2, but I know that KE7 is out WTF!!!
The only think I did to it is just to root it, but I thought updates should still work ...
Any suggestions would be highly appreaciated
Thanks
Ok, I actually found out why this is happening - It seems that Samsung hasn't offered any release for my country for the moment and instead of having a beautiful KE7, we have KE2 here for now
My question would be now if any1 of you knows where to get and to manually install KE7 for SGS2
Thanks
Ok, sorry for this thread, I am an idiot. I found all the answers on this forum
Thanks GUYS !
Anyone else seeing this update on their Verizon S6? I'm still not sure what it is for. Phone says I still have 5.0.2 but I'm pretty sure that is what I had before.

Sorry guys, I had taken my ambien. Only excuse I have..
Don't upgrade if you're a rooted user!!!!! I'm the one who posted about upgrading yesterday and now I can't downgrade or re-root. I'm stuck with a battery draining, bloated, non-rooted phone until our genius s6 devs come up with a way of rooting.

Hey, you have found a method that works? I have the same version and still can not find anything. If you could answer would very help me.

You can't find anything because there has not been anything found yet to overcome this change.
When someone does, they will start a new thread with the news for all to see.
Hi I have scoured the net looking for the firmware for the unlocked version of the phone. Is anyone willing to upload theirs. If not, can I use T-mobile version firmware as a substitute?
Woops, please move this to questions.
Hi balmyplank I don't know if youre still monitoring this thread but I posted something a couple days go but still no luck. Hopefully it will show up someday on the net.

Hi guys!
I'll start this as I do many posts...but apologies if this is in the wrong place or if the questions have already been answered....
Been a while since my last post but I am a long time member and still in the phone game. Over the years I've had to focus on other areas of my life as time has gone by but I still find time to tinker on occasion. If there is a thread that adequately answers these questions please link it in the response. But again, so far, I have not been able to find the answers I need. I am about to install SafeStrape on the device anyway but thought I would throw out a line in hopes of getting a bite.
With that said, I have scoured the forums looking for a definite answer. From what I can gather it appears that if you have the 4.4.2 OTA update that you cannot unlock your bootloader....ever.
Is this the truth?
Can I downgrade to an earlier FW such as 4.1.1, etc?
If so, can I then use SafeStrape or will I even need to?
The reasons behind these questions is to determine if I will be able to root this beast or not? I am unsure what the original FW was on the device or if it came with 4.4.2 on it. I mention this as I cannot remember if you can downgrade if your device never had the older version of the FW you wish to downgrade to on it sometime in the past. Can someone verify if this is true as well please?
Thanks in advance all!!

It's impossible to downgrade any of the firmware versions for the d2vzw device. The Knox within the devices bootloader will prevent this from ever happening.
If any attempts are made to do this, you will take the chance at Soft/Hard Bricking your device (or even worse).
The versions "at & below" Android v4.3.0 AND the Firmware version "I535VZWCML1" CAN be unlocked.
Any versions "at & above" Android v4.3.0 AND the Firmware version "I535VZWCNC1" CANNOT be unlocked.
SafeStrap = NOT a Custom Recovery. It's only designed/themed to LOOK like TWRP because of its familiar look and such.
TWRP = Custom Recovery. This replaces the stock recovery.
I hope that I had clarified this okay via text...
Good Luck!

Thank you my friend!!
Ibuprophen,
Thank you for the info... It has been a long time since I have done anything with an S3, particularly a VZW S3. Btw, I've used a lot of the times you have hosted so thanks for those too.
Before I posted my thread I flashed a semi stock f/w with SU added. But the device went into the "Verizon has detected non approved software on this device, blah, blah, blah.".
I was able to flash the appropriate stock FW via Odin and got out of the aforementioned loop.
But anyway, you answered my questions brother . I appreciate your time and effort.
Have a good day!!!
Regards,
PAinguIN

Your very welcome![emoji106]
I have 2 d2vzw devices (with 1 of them that has an Unlocked Bootloader) and, though I don't use them as my primary device, I still use them for testing purposes (ie... my developments and such) but, their still a decent device to use when necessary.
Enjoy!
