[Q] Samsung Galaxy Si9000 - General Questions and Answers

Hi...
I am trying to upgrade the firmware of my Galaxy Si9000.
When I connect to Kies, I get a pop-up saying my firmware is PHONE:JP2 and a new upgrade PHONE:JV4 is available. I tried upgrading but once the process starts,
First I get an option to Backup Data.
Then, I see a window which says "Preparing device for Firmware Upgrade"
And that's it. After some time download begins , in between 50-60% its stops and start downloading from the starting, I tried doing 5 to 6 times but no help.
Any idea???
My Galaxy S is currently running on Android 2.1
Kies is updated to the latest version.
and
i also tried with the manual firmware update or any other custom ROM firmware update from the trusted source provided at AndroidAdvices.com, but the problem is my device doesn't go in download mode (Volume Down Key + OK button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button)...plz help me out........

[Completed] [Q] Galaxy note 2 ATT I317 stuck on power up

i have tried to root my phone, then got error message about su has stopped, so i tried following directions to unroot, i have downloaded several stock firmwares, 1 worked and brought my phone back to OS 4.1.1, i thought it was fixed and unrooted, so i did software update, and now stuck on power up, i have tried to go back and download the 4.1.1 back on it with no success, i cant even get in recovery mode. i have tried kies, and that doesnt work, have searched and nothing is helping, or spending hours downloading stock firmware that does not work, it will either fail, and 2 of them do say pass, but phone still locked on power up. any help would def be appreciated
Hi,
You should definitely ask for help in your device section Q&A, so the experts who own your device can assist you,

Keep in mind Odin will usually fail if Kies is running. End all kies processes in you pc's task manager.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.

[Completed] [Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue [ROOT] [Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300]

My sim card wasnt working and to fix that i decided to format my phone by flashing Stock ROM using Odin [I had root], running on Cyanogenmod. While doing so, it was taking a hell lot of time and I didnt know what to do, so i pulled the cable and restarted the phone and this message came on: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
So i did that using kies, followed the procedure..downloaded the firmware to the computer, blah blah, but while "transferring that to the mobile phone" procedure, it got stuck at 0% and for hours it wont move!!
I tried using Odin again, but it just dont work!!
Please help me!!..I cant even go to my phone now..my (Home + Power button + Volume down) is accessible, but not recovery.
Hi,
Asking here in this help thread in your device section would be best,
> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question
A couple ideas too.... Try a different version of Odin. Also, Odin usually fails if Kies is running. End all kies processes in the task manager on the pc. Try a different cable and USB port on your PC. And forget kies, it won't work if your rooted or are not completely stock.
Again, for more help, ask in the thread I linked above.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.

[Completed] Galaxy Note 4 Stuck In "Firmware Upgrade Encountered An Issue..."

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4, model SM-N910A. I tried downgrading to 4.4.4 from Lollipop, only to find myself get to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen.
I have tried flashing stock lollipop back on to my phone using Odin, to no avail. I'm Positive they were for my model. So I turned to Kies 3. The "Emergency firmware recovery" option does not pick up my phone in it, so i tried "firmware upgrade and initialization". Fails to upgrade the software every time. What I think is the problem there is that Kies tells me its going to go back to 4.4.4, which cannot be done with the bootloader locked how it is.
From here, I have lost all hope. So I am here, hoping someone can save my ruined day.
