OK, so a few days on my phone I go and update my Captivate via OTA (btw my phone is rooted). Update goes fine and all is well, until a few days later I connect my phone to my computer and expect to see the option to connect to Samsung Kies, only to find that the option was replaced with Samsung Kies (update only). So the only thing I can do is connect to the Samsung Kies software and run an update.
Gee thanks Samsung/AT&T, thanks alot.
(Yes I know the Samsung Kies software wasn't meant for US market)
Anyone have a fix for this? I will wipe my phone and take it back to default if I have to- also a little worried about the Froyo update doing the same thing.
thanks for any help/advise.

The "kies update only" option works for me. I had to update keys and repair drivers (top left corner of kies - pull down option) and maybe reboot. But I can connect to kies again.
Kies is very flaky - it is very picky about when it works or not. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it; so if you really depend on Kies, I would find something else. Even the international people have many problems with Kies.
Before I ran the ota update I had the option on my captivate to connect to Kies, after the update it was changed to "Kies Update Only". So know i cant tether anymore.
I just noticed this too. I'm going to install froyo if I can.
i got it to work, seems I needed to update the Samsug Kies software. when connecting phone to computer you select Kies (firmware update)

You may want to check out this thread for Froyo -- its the best I've used so far but I am running 2.2. beta 7 instead of 8.

Hey guys, I'm trying to do the maintenence update for the phone on the stock rom, no root, and it is showing the android guy and says downloading, and there is a blue progress bar, but its stuck at 32% according to kies mini. its been like this for over an hour and no one from samsung or tmobile has been able to help me. any ideas on what to do?
Why did you use kies?
just got the phone a week ago through warrenty exchange, wanted to do the update to kd1 from kb5, which was currently on my phone
I'd Odin or Heimdall it.
kies mini
I used Kies Mini a few weeks ago b/c i hadn't done root or any mods yet too....but it went flawlessly the first time thru. It only took maybe 10 minutes?
Anyone know what would happen if he "just pulled the battery/plug"?
Wouldn't the stock recovery will let him go back to stock without odin?
Yea like the other guy said i'd odin it with the .tar file, then use kies to do the firmware update.
Follow this guide:

Did my daily Kies backup of my outlook data. When I ran Kies it told me that there was an update, that's nothing new, so I allowed the update.
Once I re-ran Kies, instead of listing the current ROM and my ROM on the first page, it said in BOLD letters that "YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT SOFTWARE UPDATE VIA KIES".
Was it trying to do an update to something, or was it just telling me that since I'm non-stock, rooted and CWM, that it can't do an update.

Yeah, that was your one shot at getting the ICS update and now you have to wait until Summer to get it again.
ok j/k
I can't help w/kies questions but a top will not hurt.
Very funny.
I got the same Kies update. With mini Kies, that was sometimes associated with a phone update. My phone is stock but after the Kies update, no phone update was available. You didn't miss anything.

Thanks for checking that. Totally appreciate it.
To update from kies, do i need to be unrooted (running stock rooted)... If so, how do you unroot GT 3113??

Nope, you don't have to do anything. Just connect your tab via usb cable and run Kies. If a FW update is available you will be notified as soon as the Kies start...

bro no matter rooted or unrooted when connected to kies it will show update if available.and disconnection problem is with most of tab 2 user.so there are two ways wait for fota or go to service center and get tab updated.
I've tried to update my rooted P3113 from wifi download, not by KIES.
No success! It must be because of the CWM recovery installed, since the tab automatically boots to recovery after downloading updates from samsung. I think the samsung official update scenario stucks at this point (because there is no standart android recovery after CWM installed).
When i'm trying to update rooted P3113 from KIES - no success too, because of "disconnection" problem.
So, we waiting for the stock 4.0.4 rom file for CWM recovery.
Root or unrooted doesn't matter. My tablet is stock and never rooted and Kies was still messing up. Luckily I finally got the OTA this morning.
When I checked for update from my device. It says no update is available. How to get the update?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that was rooted and the other day when I turned it on it started updating my tablet. However, the update failed. Probably because I was rooted. So I unrooted the tablet and every time I check for updates it says there are NO updates. I installed Kies on Windows and (after connecting to it with the GTab2 7) it shows me that there IS an update for it. However, every time I click on update it disconnects after a few seconds and and goes back to the initial screen saying there is an update.
So, I can't install it via Kies. And now I when I check for updates it says there are NO updates. Am I totally screwed OR what.
When the update failed, I think when it rebooted to install it THAT it came up to CWM and that is why it failed BUT now CWM is gone and I am definitely NOT rooted with stock ROM on the machine.
However, I see in the settings under STATUS that is shows "modified" instead of "normal".
Is there any way to reset the status? Or is it necessary?

You don't need to unroot, just flash 4.0.4 firmware with odin as i described in this topic
Download firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3113
You will have unrooted stock firmware after flash complete. And after that you install cwm and root just as you did with 4.0.3
One way is to just flash it in Odin.
I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295
This seems to be a pretty foolproof "restock" method.
The only UNROOT method that worked for me!

The only METHOD that UNROOTED my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 was the instructions at this web site :
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3113-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96474/
It's a 2 step process. I tried several other places that had similar instructions BUT this one worked. You have to download several files and the recovery rom file has 2 different versions and you choose the one that is appropriate for your situation. I was NOT sure which was appropriate so I tried both and it finally worked.
And it DOES unroot it.
And later that night JUST after midnight I was AGAIN notified on my GT2 7 that I had an update. This time it downloaded the 200+ mb file and rebooted and came up and installed it perfectly!
And every thing is working well now and I am on 4.04. It is SO much smoother than 4.03. A real keeper until Jelly Bean comes available.

Ha ha well I should have read this thread before I did a factory reset and installed kies on like 5 computers. Come on samsung.

The samsung-updates.com link does not work.
Please give link to any working GT-P3113 firmware download please.
Guys,
Incredible thing has happened, my GT 7.7 told me today: you have new firmware available to download !! First time in its freakin' life it told me that OTA update is available. What's more - it's JB - when almost everybody lost their hope to see it on 7.7.
My happiness didn't last long. OTA upgrade downloaded and after reboot - showed Android system update icon ... for 10 sec. Then it rebooted again. When system boot up - i found no change to 7.7 FW. When i tried to force another attempt to update - i got error message telling me "Update has failed... bla bla bla. Try using Kies".
OK - let it be. I started Kies. Installed update it prompted me and ... found message "Your device’s current firmware version is not supported via Kies". Great !!
My 7.7 is rooted (4.0.4), de-bloated (a lot of junk is gone (including stuff like Samsung Account and other Samsung bloatware).
Now question: If I flash new FW via Odin - will this flash clear my whole 7.7 or my existing apps and data will remain intact?
I think data/aps should "survive" Odin flashing (I don't remember what i did when i upgraded to ICS but i think I flashed with Odin and everything survived).
Another thing - do you think ti's better to wait for Kies upgrade that will support my 7.7 FW upgrade or heat up Odin and forceburn JB into it.
Thanks for advice (in advance).
kies wont upgrade root device with custom recovery... so i say go odin way...
