I would like to update my T-Mobile SGH-T869 currently running Android 3.2 Honeycomb baseband T869UVKJ2 to ICS baseband T869UVLG7. I installed the latest version of Kies on my Windows 7 PC. I then connect my device SGH-T869 to Kies running on my PC. I then get a message stating that "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies". Acoording to T-Mobile and Samsung, the only "official" way to update to ICS is via Kies. But Kies does not work with my current baseband T869UVKJ2. Apparently you need to be at T869UVKL2 in order to be able to use Kies to update to ICS baseband T869UVLG7.
I also went into Settings/About Device to see if there are any over the air update. However, Software Update shows "No update available".
I am aware of using Odin3_V3.07 to flash using the stock ICS 4.0.5 T869UVLG7 Firmware ROM. But I don't want to go down that route just yet. Are there any other safer methods to update my T-Mobile SGH-T869 to ICS baseband T869UVLG7?
Update: I just contact Samsung Live Chat. They are not aware of the Android 3.2 baseband T869UVKJ2 that is running on my T-Mobile SGH-T869. That may be the reason Kies does not allow me to update to ICS baseband T869UVLG7.

I successfully used Odin to flash my T-Mobile SGH-T869 to ICS baseband T869UVLG7. I am now running ICS 4.0.4. I don't know why it shows 4.0.4.
I hope that you are aware of "brick bug" that come with ICS?. If not - search the threads. If I knew, before I flash mine, I would keep the 3.2.
Does anyone have 3.2 repair files?
I tried 4.0 but it blocked.

I have problems updating OTA to froyo.
Few days ago froyo was released for the i5500.
I installed XWJI2 or XWJI1 for samfirmware.com and since then I can't update using Kies anymore.
Is it possible to flash back?
Or does someone have a froyo for me?
Hi, where you get the Froyo fw. for i5500 from?
froyo is almost out for i5500. Samsung told me. It is in beta
Really? Which country are u from? this is really a great news
Sent from my GT-I5500 using XDA App
Hi everybody
I read in many forums the update from europe comming soon in december!
It's possible this is avaiable for other régions
For the update with Kies , if you have flashing a firmware from samfirmware.
Kies says "... don't update this device" no stress.
Normally kies see 2.2 Update when this is avaiable.
If you want sure .
Download à firmware with no CSC in samfirmware.com (i have used I5500XWJG9 # Version 2.1 2010 July )
Flash with ODIN
When the phone is flashed no configure this
plug your usb cable
open Kies
Kies says "Youhou i have a udpate for your phone"
Accept update
Enjoy !
Kies says you " no update avaiable for this phone"
For froyo wait and see
Can I update the i5500 with kies?
Kies says me " no update avaiable for this phone".
I want froyo!
I'v tried what qouet said, It just doesnt work anyone else with any suggestions?
Do not update to Froyo, I broke my i5500 now the phone is only PDA goes (baseband unknown) and restart without reason alone.
Kies reported the following for my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100) phone :
Current firmware version : PDA-KE8/PHONE-KE2/CSC-KE2 (INU)
Latest firmware version : PDA-KF3/PHONE-KE4/CSC-KF3 (INU)
I tried upgrading to latest version above with Kies, but due to slow net connection, I couldn't do it, so I downloaded supposedly official FW from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and chose the XWKF3 INU (India): http://www.multiupload.com/4QE1L97ZGF ROM and flashed it successfully using ODIN.
Now, Kies tells me that "S/W version in your phone is not an official version. Firmware upgrade of unofficial version S/W version is not supported".
Further it tells me that now my current firmware version is PDA-KF3/PHONE-KE7/CSC-KF1 (INU) which actually differs from what Kies told me what the latest version should be (see above).
What's going on here?
I'm a newbie to Android, and would also like to know what "Stock Kernel" means.
Thanks!
As far as Firmwares go, there will be different versions that could be dependant on Region or Carrier. The only truly universal Firmware would be that which is released by Google; the AOSP version. Once manufacturers and carriers get their hands on it you end up with different versions.
The Kernel is core of the OS. It has low level access to all the hardware on your device. Stock is what is included in stock Firmware, but people make custom Kernels too. Cyanogenmod for example has it's own Kernel, but there are others that can flashed seperately if you wanted.
So besides possibly invalidating my warranty (anyway to get it back?) and disabling future ability to upgrade my FW via Kies, has there been any other negative effects on my phone after the upgrade via Odin?
Hi,
I flashed my phone to the latest ICS firmware at the time, which was lp6 i think. I want to downgrade it to another official one, like the unbranded UK version so when it is released in UK I can upgrade it using kies.
I tried many firmwares but only 1 was had the ability to be upgraded via kies according to the firmware listo on sammobile.com, I tried it but Kies states Your Device Does Not Support Updating Via Kies.
So just to test, I downloaded the latest o2 ICS firmware, I still get the same message.
Anyone know what I can do so kies recognises it?
All help will be appreciated, and thanks.

Do you know which one it is? I can't seem to figure out which one it is.
if you know odin you can use a rom to flash back to gingerbread like 2.3.5 official frimware : )
Howdy. I've got a Relay that I'm using on T-Mobile, which got upgraded OTA to Android v4.1.2 . But I have another, seemingly identical Relay that used to be on T-Mobile but doesn't have a SIM that is stuck on 4.0.4 . I use it for non-phone functions over Wifi. Using the phone settings it refuses to upgrade, saying "The device is up to date." I tried using a Windows machine with Samsung Kies installed (and upgraded), but Kies says "your device current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".
I'm not really interested in rooting the phone at this point. I just want to upgrade to Android v4.1.2 so I can have the same apps on both stock phones. Any ideas?

Has the phone been previously rooted or modified? Usually that's why Kies would refuse to upgrade one.
In any case you can manually update it. The files are sprinkled around in the forum.

The phone hasn't been previously rooted or modified.
Where can I find the instructions and files to manually update it?

It's got no SIM, but it is on Wifi, and About device > Software update is what says "The device is up to date".

samfirmware and odin are apps for installing a firmware from a desktop? I don't have to root the phone or anything? I can find a stock 4.1.2 firmware for the Relay?

www.samfirmware.com is a place you can download firmwares for any Samsung Rom.
Odin is the program used to flash .tar images. You'll need Odin to flash things like stock firmwares and bootloaders like ClockworkMod (CWM)
I just have a SAMSUNG GT S6102B i need to have whatsapp in this phone the problem is i just have 2.3.6 version what can i do for use whatsapp in the phone?
The latest WhatsApp does require Android V4.0.3 or above. Can you check and update your Android on the Samsung device via OTA?
OTA?
OTA - "Over the air" a term used to indicate software that was sent to phones directly through the internet
to their phones. This the term right?
In that case i think my phone is very old for an update manually. Or tell me if i'm wrong how do i see the OTA
