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"

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.

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.
My question may sound foolish but here it is.
I have Galaxy R with me on stock 2.3.4. Never rooted or installed any sort of ROMs.
If I carry this phone to Singapore and try to update OTA, will I be able to update to ICS as I see ICS Stock ROM for Singapore already released.

I am from India. I may go to Singapore next month. Here in india OTA won't show any new update as it has never gone past 2.3.4
But in Singapore, I think the update for ICS has been released. So I had a doubt if I go there, and just search for update OTA, will I be able to see ICS and be able to update to ICS??

Buddy India we also we got ICS just connect your phone to PC and update it using Samsung Kies S/W and in INDIA Galaxy R released with 2.3.5 not 2.3.4..... No OTA Differs from area to area its depends on Phone CSC so you will not get OTA if you go to Singapore ....

yes just check it with kies ....
Also, our phone does not get updates with respect to our geographical location.. If you purchased your phone in India, you will have an indian rom by default and kies will search for an update to that rom.. So even if you take your phone to hong Kong or Taiwan it will not update if ics for India is not available...
Since ics is out for india, you can go ahead and update with kies as suggested by mj.vikram buddy

If we update through Kies, will my phone be affected by the eMMC brick bug? will my phone get bricked by chance? is there any safe way to do it?

buddy, just dont unpluged the phone when It will be updating. Also, eMMC bug is there in ICS. so after that just install CWM & then install Ardatdat's kernel V4 or higher. it is safe.

yes off course eMMC Brick bug will be there but it will not effect you until unless you wipe anything from CWM, if you are not using CWM then it will be safe or else you flash Ardatdat's kernel if you are using CWM.....

I've never rooted my phone. So, if I want to just update it through Kies, and then wipe data and factory reset my phone, will it do any harm to it? (considering that there is no CWM & ardatdat kernel is installed). Please tell me the steps to install the kernel as well..
Sorry for bugging you!

New firmware found.
Firstly I was shocked to see this new firmware on kies. All these days I was checking on Kies(Mac version) and didn't find any update.
(I am on GB 2.3.5. Never did any customizations on my phone, no rooting, no infected ROM. Nothing. It is as same as it was when I took it)
Now, I find this firmware update on KIES (Windows version) and wanna know if I can go ahead and update this firmware?? Is there any side effect of doing this?
Some one says you cannot factory reset after this firmware. Someone says, nothing would happen.
I am confused. Please help.
P.S: I am newbie and have no clue about CWM or eMMC brick or kernal

buddy: just take backup of your contacts & msgs. If it could (it won't but for safety side), then please go ahead. update it. Coz CWM format may harm due to eMMC bug.

Not sure what I have done but can somebody please help..... I flashed the kernel and now it just sticks at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 screen. I can power it off and hold the volume button and go into Odin, I can see it from Odin on my Laptop OK but am now sure what to do next??
So, I power off, hold the volume button in and it pops up a screen warning about downloading custom roms, so I press the volume down button to continue, then it goes to DOWNLOADING Do Not Turn Off Target but whats the next step?

Also, if this does not work, is there a way to remove all trace so I can return it for warranty repair?

So I have a VZW S3 on NE1 rooted and running xposed. I am not sure what module it was that I installed but my phone is now stuck with the SystemUI constantly crashing to the point of me being unable to use the phone. Then I, like a moron, Unrooted my phone thinking that would stop the issue. It didn't. I do have usb debugging enabled and my phone connects to the computer. Can I just boot into recovery and use the Xposed-disabler-recovery zip to fix this? will that wreck my phone since VZW is so annoying? Would that wipe my memory? And if that doesn't work what else could I do except pull everything I can off my phone and and reflash the entire thing using Odin?
Thanks a million!

Im using Huawei Honor 4c running OS v4.4.2. Now I want to update my device OS with v6.0 EMUI 4. I found one on official website but with different build number. My device build number is V100R001C185B130 but firmware on website has build number C185B503. Will there be any issue if I upgrade firmware?
Also do I have need to first upgrade from Kitkat to Lollipop and then Marshmallow, or I can directly upgrade from Kitkat to Marshmallow?
I'm wishing to upgrade official firmware availabe on Huawei website.
If the firmware is wrong the update will fail and device will stay in previous state.
Trying to go straight to Marshmallow won't cause any issues, update will fail before starting if it doesn't work.

Then it's most likely hardware issue. If you think it's software issue, you can either try to find rollback updates or install TWRP custom recovery and see if some custom rom will give your screen some life.
My wifi/BT was completely broken once and I thought it was hardware issue(factory reset and re-install didn't fixed it), but after I wiped all basic partitions in TWRP and then did stock force update, it started working.
So, what now I need to do is TWRP recovery flash?
