Hi ! I have a Galaxy S, SGH-I897, AT&T, unlocked. I have been trying to use Kies (version 1.5.3.10093_80) to upgrade the firmware, as stated on Kies window.
Everytime I try it, I have "Firmware upgrade cannot proceed. Firmware upgrade will close." Also, Kies crashed after clicking on cancel after it.
Version installed: PDA:JF6 / Phone:JF6 / CSC: JF6
Most recent: PDA:JH7 / Phone:JF7 / CSC:JF6
Current firmware: 2.1-update 1
Baseband version: I897UCJF6
Kernel version: 2.6.29
Builder number: eclair
WIndows 7 - 64 bit
Please, any idea how to fix it?
Tks !
Bump !! Anyone ?
Kies sucks. Use Odin

Samsung has Mini Kies (or Kies Mini) which is more stable then Kies. It is on their web site under support software for the captivate.
I have tried it already (Mini Kies) and does not work as well...

Kies sucks. Use Odin.
I'll even be nice and give you some links.
If you want Froyo 2.2 go here
If you want 2.1 JH7 go here
And for stock 2.1 JF6 go here
You should ALWAYS keep the one for JF6 on your computer incase you have a catastrophic failure of your phone and need to return to stock for any reason.
Got it ! Thanks !!!!!
I downloaded the 2.2 Odin and it does nothing... Not sure how Odin works...
Thanks in advance for your help... Oh... Miztaken do you work for ATT? If so, I wanted to ask you some quick questions if I could... Thanks!!
No I don't work for AT&T lol. For Odin to work you need to put your phone in download mode. Turn it completely off. Remove the USB cable. Start Odin. Hold both volume keys on the phone and plug in the USB cable. The phone should say download and do not turn off target. At this point Odin should see your phone. Click start on Odin and your phone should be updating. If you have any other questions just ask

Thanks so much for the info! As a newbie... gotta ask how do you put the phone in download mode? As I understand it, download mode is activated by the holding down of the buttons right? Thanks again!!
Does odin work even if your phone is rooted or should you unroot first like kies?

Successfully upgraded using Kies
If you want to be sure you are installing the official version try to upgrade to the latest version of Kies first.
I am running Win7 and had the same problem before upgrading Kies.
You have to do factory reset on phone after upgrade to froyo (could not find icon for market!)
so, finally the official froyo update is here.
but it sure needs a lag fix still... (i actually got slower results in J disk benchmark after upgrading to froyo)
Anyone knows if it is possible to apply lag fix to this version?
I am running:
firmware 2.2
I900XXJPM (PDA=JP6, PHONE=JPM)
Looks like Samsung has fixed the most obvious TouchWiz bugs!
Finally being able to create contacts in phone and make them sync to gmail.
Default option when creating entry in calendar is also to changed to make entry sync correctly.
Hello, i have a Samsung SGH-i987, i want to upgrade version 2.2 to version 4... Can some ine help me please?? Thx.
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 it read it after odin 1click you stock? Cause it will replace your csc

For some strange reason, when I download thru 1-click, my phone just gets stuck at the att boot screen. i can then get into recovery only thru a jig as my 3 button combo does not work. I was thinking if I could get a csc file for rogers, i can install it thru odin alongwith the firmware.
I found a file. Even though kies reads the firmware as I896**** it adds ATT in the end. But all the other info is of the rogers

That is the one I am using. But it shows CSC: Unknown. I got this info from *#1234#.
I've used kies before im familure with it. I have attempted to root my device a couple times and was successful. But i tripped my flash counter so all i did was restore the back up i made before rooted. So that unroots me and puts me back to stock right? So now the ics update is here and whenever i plug in to kies it just says no firmware. Am i the only one? Could it take sometime for me to get it maybe? Help please. Thx

Galaxy s2 Skyrocket was running 2.3.8 I believe. Tried to upgrade my firmware with Kies. Got an error message, yet when attempting a Emergency Recovery or Upgrade and Initialization it fails every time. I also cannot get the phone off of the "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue" scren ---This is even after I hold both volume buttons and hit the UP to CONTINUE--- I have tried the Odin3-v1.85 but it says that philz_touch_6.10.3-skyrocket.tar.md5 is invalid (Got that off of the top of the page of threads)
Any help at all is so appreciated.
Kies is a pos. Use Odin to flash the firmware you want. See the stickies in the development forum
Will they include a .mda (or whatever it is) that will work? And still the phone only goes into that one mode. Would taking the phone to an at&t store be a good idea?

I'm not sure what you mean by .mda. I'd recommend you go to sammobile.com and download the ucmc1 firmware then use this guide and Odin to flash it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924
