Just a min, update failed...I think cause launcher pro was the default home...trying again damn it.

Someone post a odin copy.
?

Let the BRICKING begin!

Would love an ODIN of this ROM... looking forward to it!

Installed Kies... Update process starts but Kies crashes. Anyone else have this issue? I'm currently trying to unroot to see if that makes a difference.
Edit: Exact issue is: MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working.
Does it regardless if I choose to backup or not the contacts and data.
Edit 2: Unroot changes nothing.
Edit 3: Doing a factory reset on the device doesn't help either. WTF?

connected to Kies - message "This device will be supported soon"

Get it here

Wonder if it'll be 2.2.1...

Ok so I just got back from writing an exam and will try to reinstall Kies. I tried 2 times to update through my computer this morning and once on my wife's PC (She has a Captivate as well)
All 3 attempts it says that Its downloaded the update but then it fails when it tries to install. Now remember I've not rooted or anything, so i think that there might be a newer version of kies or something...going to look now.
But anyways it tries to update it says a bunch of stuff like: You phone Jsomething1 and the update is supposed to be Jsomething2...I dont get it.
Remember I dont hack or mod phones in the slightest, so I have no clue what this J1 (mine) and the update of j2 is...?
The update is big though, takes a few minutes to download and I have a 16mps download speed...

Downloading this version of Kies and will try again:

I'm with Rogers with an AT&T Captivate (Rooted and Cognition 2.3b6). Will I be able to update my device to it? I much prefer the Rogers software than AT&T's. I don't care if I have to use Odin or erase everything.

What ROM are you on ?
Did you put the phone in recovery mode when you have the first pop up menu ?

Did you put your phone in Recovery mode like the first pop up is asking ? (Unplug usb cable from phone (not the computer), power off the phone, Hold vol up/down button and plug usb cable. You should now be in download mode (black/yellow screen with a shovelling droid)

Stock ROM from Rogers
No, not recovery mode.
PC runs W7-32 for what it's worth.
In the meantime, I did some research on the error I mentioned above.
It appears it's a very common issue with KIES.
There are a few workarounds.
So far, I tried the "SIM-out" method and it doesn't work for me.
Next, I'm trying the regedit method.
Will report on results.
@silvertag: your upgrade worked fine or you haven't tried yet?

Nowhere you have to check Kies server to know it's been released. There is still no confirmation from Rogers last i checked.

Yes it worked fine you HAVE to put the phone in download mode before you start downloading the update or it will fail at the upgrade part.

OMWTFBBQ!!1 Firmware Update??

I noticed that it automagically started updating the firmware when I connected my sidekick to Kies. Should I update? Or will that prevent me from being able to root my phone?
From 1.0.0.11011_4 <--- Currently @
To 1.0.0.11051_4

Weird. My phone is not even recognized in Kies, say's its not supported.

same here, is there a specific version of Kies that we need ? idk

Yeah just use the vibrant drivers and enabe usb debug mode.
The step by step guide on how to update your phone is on the first page of the thread titled "sidekick 4g."

Hmm, I'm interested in this.. any other input? I might hook mine up to see.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA app

for some reason when i put it in kies mode it says my device isn't supported (with debugging off) but when ever i turn usb debugging on it connects as mass storage with out an option for kies mode and then kies say my device isnt in the proper mode

Due to the lack of of an answer I am going to create a comprehensive tutorial on how to install the necessary drivers to recognize your device, and update it if so feel so inclined. It was actually extremely easy. This is going to be a video, and I am going to post it as a new thread.

To satisfy any curiosities I want to perform a full dump of this firmware before I update.

Theres my sorry attempt. The first time I uploaded it came out in 480p. I recorded it in 1080p so i deleted it and re upped it. Now when I re upload it it only comes out in 240. **** YOU YOUTUBE SUCK MY ****. I'm sorry this is the best I could do for tonight guys I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep, but I will try to help as much as possible tomorrow. If you really want to update your phone and need live step by step process stuff I'll throw out my phone number. I really DGAF

lol if im correct youtube takes some time to render and process the video before it can be watched in its best res. i can watch your video now in 720p i think you just had to give it some time lol so no stress. but thanks for the vid im checking it out now

okay.. i think this thread was a mistake or i read it wrong .
first off i wasnt connecting to kies correctly because i wasnt using samsung kies mini i was using samsung kies.
second the firmware update you are talking about was updating your version of kies it wasnt updating your phone. the version of kies mini that you say to download in the video wasnt the latest kies mini so it updated when you first opened it (same for myself) now that its updated and i have kies open it says there is no upgrade available for my device.
if by some chance kies did update your phone check to see if the build is still KD1 , if it isnt then your phone was upgraded. not likely though
hope this helps and no need to get a dump if your still on stock, but thanks still.

does anyone know how to use the emergency firmware recovery feature in KIES? it seems to ask for some kind of code. I was wondering if by any chance this could be a way to restore your phone to factory stock?

Use the 1 clik uninstaller by blu. Works like a dream, just tried it today =)

So there is an update firmware? Anyone tried it? There are several issues with the phone and if there really is an update I am curious as to what has been remedied.

[Q] Brand New GT-P3113

Looking to root and install a custom rom/kernel. I have came across many different ways of rooting and flashing roms, and I was looking for the least dangerous way to root and flash ClockWorkMod and CM10.1. I also was looking for a way to flash back to a "stock version" that is compatible with my warranty, because I don't want the $50 that I spent on the "2-year extended warranty" to be a waste. I have only ever rooted one device before(Boost Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Prevail), I have CWM and CM7 on it. I also read that the IR functionality of the P3113 is not working on CM10.1, is that the only feature that isn't working? I un-installed Kies from my Win7 PC because it wouldn't connect with my P3113 and i kept getting "Hardware ID Missing" errors. When I un-installed Kies it also un-installed my USB drivers. I re-installed them and now the P3113 shows up as a "portable media device" in Windows Explorer. Is that connection sufficient enough for Odin to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :good:

Download the stock firmware from samfirmware.com and install it with ODIN prior to returning it.

I don't run CWM, but I think the IR is the only missing feature. Not much of a loss.

That's what you'll see from a normal boot. You'll have to boot into download mode for ODIN to work. There's no reason the drivers with Kies wouldn't work, however. Note that there's a checkbox when you uninstall Kies to leave the drivers installed. That's what you should have done.

The OP in that rootzwiki thread doesn't mention the "out of the box" UECLK7 Version that my tab had when purchased. I like the way it was written, easy to understand. Anything out there for my version?

[2013.02.20][GT-P31xx] CF-Auto-Root

[HELP] Sort of Bricked my GS4

Im new to owning an android, and thought it would be a good idea to root and flash a custom rom onto my Sprint Galaxy s4 sph-l720, Not a good idea. I found some good tutorials to flash the stock rom back onto the phone. I've tried every guide and tutorial there is, but everytime, odin fails. I don't know what i am doing wrong, i may be trying to load the wrong firmware, i am not sure. I was on 4.4.2 Kitkat when i flashed my first custom rom onto my phone, my current custom rom is on 4.4.2, This is very frustrating and at the moment, i do not have a working phone until i can get Odin to stop failing. Thanks for reading. Quick replies would be appreciated!

KIES = Samsung's Windows application that communicates with you phone to sync files or update the phone.
THIS is the 4.4.2 firmware for Sprint Galaxy S4.

Hi a friend of mine bought a galaxy note 3 and its stuck on Android 4.4.2 and it wont update because there is no software update button in the about phone setting. So i was wondering im new to the site tried looking it up but no luck as of right now but i need some help on finding the stock OS for the phone i will be using Odin to Flash it and everything so we can update it to the last firmware update it got which was Android 5.0 i believe ill just plug the phone into Samsung Kies or Smart Switch to update it from there so his phone will work properly.
Thanks in advance guys​

Make up your mind, are you going to use Odin or Kies?
The process is different with each. The replies you get will depend on which method you use.

Try this instead, follow the instructions to install the firmware they linked, then follow the instructions for the OTA update.
http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-note-3-with-lollipop-ota-and-root-it/
If you don't want root then just ignore that part and only go as far as getting the OTA update installed.
@Whitefleet91
I read that guide again and edited this post to say that you need to do the first section and then do the OTA update. You have to flash back to original firmware before it will let you apply the OTA.
