Correct Kies exe for recent ICS.

I've gone to the link provided in the txt message sent my AT&T and downloaded Kies, but it keeps asking for it to update...I uninstalled and reinstalled and no luck. Anyone have the correct ICS Kies exe they can post?
Thanks in advance, and yes I also have a Galaxy Note and successfully updated that but having trouble with Skyrocket.

I could've sworn I stated it keeps asking to update...Maybe I wasn't clear, I've updated it 10 times but nothing. I've uninstalled 3 times and reinstalled and nothing. I know Samsung is experiencing issues with their servers, initially that's the same issue alot of us Note users had. Someone was able to post the correct version of Kies (exe file), but can't seem to be happening for the skyrocket.

Edit the registry, remove kies entries, reboot, reinstall
See how that does

So u give him the same exact link from the text? The download button at the bottom of the page is the exact same version he has now. I know you're trying to help but dig a little deeper next time.

Unfortunately that is the correct file. I'd try a complete uninstall and reg sweep, reboot, reinstall. Seems something borked during the setup.

If you are trying to get the update, there have been a few suggested ways to get it. Shake your head some more and take the help or keep searching.

First off if you and everyone else who posted and or replied would've read the OP, you would've seen what I was asking. FYI child I ain't no kid, one simple question was asked and idiots like you reply the wrong way. So first off if you want to be helpful I'd change the way you approach or reply to people's comments and do some reading. You do know how to read right? Not trying to be rude or be an asshole by saying so but many people on here think they big and bad, when in the "Real" world they nothing but scrubs. Again one simple question was asked, but people need to take the time to read before looking like jackasses and replying with something not even close to the original question asked.

Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1 google search for that version, it will want to update so let it.
i though it was a problem so i uninstall'd my kies then installed this did the update and all is working as it should.
so i can confirm this ver works on a win 7 x64 if it still wants to update after updating it then there is something wrong with your computer,
give it a try.

where did i mess up to get this verizon unauthorized message?

i had a stock rom...rooted it, then went to install one of the roms from the website here and the custom kernel...now i keep getting this lame message...detected unauthorized software please take your phone to a verizon store. what am i doing wrong here??

Are you trying to use odin or have you flashed a custom recovery, cm or twrp?

I'm guessing you didn't use the right recovery to flash a kernel. What recovery did you use.
Sent from my Synergized vzw SGS3

This really should be in the general discussions not in development. At the leased it should be in a post in the development for the ROM you were trying.

Probably just didn't use Kexec

You didn't read the OP of whatever it was you were doing.

Way too many d-bags on XDA. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum, now he knows and I'm sure a mod will move it. Saying it over and over again and being a d-bag while doing it, doesn't help anyone.
OP, as others have stated, you are probably best off going back to a stock rom from Odin and ensuring you have a proper recovery flashed. Then start over with whatever it was you were trying to do.

I hate it when posters can't just help someone out.

wow!!!
lol wow guys, i didnt check this for a few days and honestly i will probably never post here again. i downloaded ez-recovery as i was told to do in many posts. i installed a kexec recovery...cwm 6.0.1.0. i followed the instructions in the synergy rom page and installed it through cwm. i then downloaded the Imoseyons Lean Kernel and installed it in cwm, rebooted and received the error message.
i have flashed several roms and recoveries over the years with the droid inc, droid inc2. and now the samsung. sorry to start a flame war. i will not post here again. i was simply trying to help report issues to developers.
good day.

Depends on the root method. If this replaces the rom then yeah you will lose everything, but if you use this method:

then you will not have to change anything and it's pretty straight forward.

I had to do a factory reset on my phone yesterday to troubleshoot another issue, so I can't say 100% but the few changes I made earlier today (wallpaper, lock screen shortcuts, ringtones, installed Pandora) stayed in place. From the script, it just copies files over and then moves them to system partition during next couple boots. It does not wipe data / cache / dalvik like when you load a new ROM.

I don't know about the java tool here but the one Aquila mentioned ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342 ) works perfectly.
You won't lose settings or have to clear anything. Its really useful if you're on the VRALG1 firmwares and don't want to revert to LF2 from flashing a rooted ROM.

I downloaded to my pc, then hooked up my gs3 nothing? What an I suppose to do?
Never mind it worked

Should move this Thread to the development section. And let the Devs tell us if this is good or not, Pros and cons.
just noticed that Adam is a dev.but should move to development so it can be seen more!!

This tool works well without loss to data...of course no one but you is responsible if something goes wrong but from what I see it uses the debug method I have used it and obtained root fine

I'm going to go ahead and say it...
Adam posted this in the development thread where they are working on cracking the bootloader. If he wanted the masses to be using it or if it was ready for the masses to use he would have posted it outside of that thread.
I don't know if it was bc of this thread or not, but this got picked up by droid life and he had to take it down off the R&D thread.
Stuff like this shouldn't be reposted outside of that thread until it is ready and the dev who came up with it says it is ok to do so (or just posts it himself).

[ROM][PORT] Leaked TMO Touchwiz 4.1.1

This thread is ONLY for historical reference now, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853337
Guys this is broken, but it does boot.

Data for sure doesn't work, may just be APNs, may be a bigger issue (TMo has no LTE apparently?)
Probably many other things broken, but if you want to check out JellyBean Touchwiz, here you go.
Its just the TMO stock rom with the 4.1.1 OTA patched in and then pre-rooted
Includes a system and boot image. (unzip before odin'ing)

If I wasn't already working on various projects for bean's ROM, I'd take my stab at getting some stuff to work. Or, knowing beans, perhaps he'll be jumping on this lol.

Thanks for Start!
Hopefully someone can do something with this! I'm one of the few that actually like
the new touchwiz, but I like Jelly Bean more. I'd prefer to have them both!

I love how quick the dev community works. I am also amazed at the rudeness of some people who don't contribute. Entitlement seems to be on the rise. XDA should have a thanks meter for allowing posts in the dev section instead of a post count.

[How to] Unbrick MF3 Custom Recovery Fail

I figured that I might post this to help some people as I see this posted a lot.
Are you one of the ones that tried to install a custom recovery on the MF3 update? Are you facing a never ending boot sequence or device just freezing at boot screen?
Try this to help you get a normal boot so your phone is at least usable. (Note that your factory recovery will no longer work!)
First off, do a battery pull.
After you put the battery back in (make sure it's not plugged up) go into download mode.
Click Cancel instead of continuing into download mode. Chances are your device will boot up normal. I've tried this with a device I own and also tried it on a few others (through PM and chat online).
If this works for you please let me know!

Lol I figured this out in 2 mins of owning the phone.

If you're stuck in download mode and cannot get to your OS, I think that counts as a brick! Yes, btw, post 11 in the first thread I linked shows the solution which I have been telling others to do...which you did us the favor of making a post about as well. I agree that it's good to make this post, though I think your thread title could be more useful if you edited it.
Also, should this method not work for some people, an alternative method is a good thing to have.
Thanks again and have a nice day! :good:

Your current thread title makes it sound like you tried to flash a custom recovery on MF3 and it didn't work. There's no way anyone would read that title and think there's a "How To" guide in it.

Alright maybe that will work.

Lol I found this thread after I figured it out for myself. I was kind of hoping this would lead me into a way to get back my recovery.

This is how I fixed my brick.
Flashed this file in ODIN. Now my phone boots normally. Got it from another thread with a diff issue here on XDA. I tried it and it worked. Wish I could remember where and what the thread was called. I believe it was this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360859
