Heya guys.

I've got a different problem. I'm using the last pre 2.0 Kies version and chose the XEU option to upgrade my phone from JP7 to XPY but I always get stuck after the the new firmwares download and before the firmware upgrade starts installing on the phone, at Step 4 (Upgrade).

With this message: "Upgrade is in progress... Failed to convert to upgrade mode. Please try later."

Any ideas how to get past this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sean2476:
Forget Kies as it's ****. Use Odin. It works first time everytime. Read up on some guides on how to use Odin if unsure. The best thing anyone could do with Kies is click the "uninstall button"
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Smuti:
Yeah but with Odin you lose all the apps instaled, all your providers settings etc. With Kies its a nice upgrade with which you keep it all and don't need to waste a whole day reinstalling everything back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Living in Holland I could use the this app still on Kies 1 flashing the old JPA firmare back( I was on JS3)

Than I upgraded Kies to version 2.0, and got the newest JS5.

Because I used Kies twice in order to avoid using Odin, I didnt have to restore any backups
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
For the Dutchies:

Flashing JS5 with Kies, avoiding Odin in order to keep (most off) your stuff intact:

1) Uninstall Kies 2.0 and re-install Kies Kies_1.5.3.10103_102_1

2)Start Kies and wait till it's connected to your sgs

3) Run the latest version of the registry patcher (1.7.0) "AS ADMNISTRATOR"

4) Enable spoof "true" and then "Spoof" Produt Code as XEN and consequently "spoof" Software revision as JF3 (if I remember well) then hit "write register"

5)Close and Restart Kies, wait till get connected and start "firmware update"

Kies will give JPA as upgrade (JS3 is gone)

After Flashing is done, then it's time to upgrade Kies. The new Kies will upgrade JPA to JS5

Needless to say that I have an unbranded/simlock free sgs...

GOOD LUCK!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mbdroid:
So the JS5 only appears in Kies 2, thus not being able to upgrade via Kies if not in Holland?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Right

At least untill another version of a registry patcher or another app that is working on Kies 2 appears....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tanguy15:
Anybody a clue where the ROM gets extracted for the flash process with Kies? I need this as the patcher apparently doesn't work with Kies 2, thus it's ROM backup function might not be working either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
No luck with the Dutch solution

Hi betoNL,

I tried the above and it did not work:

- I have an unrooted SGS from T-Mobile Nederland and JS5 flashed normally through Kies 2.

- I need to downgrade to JPA because I use Russian as an input language a lot and in the two previous images (JS3 and JPA) for Holland (PCode: GT-I9000HKDXEN) Samsung did support Russian as one of input languages while in JS5 it disappeared.

- I strictly followed your instructions and the registry spoofing went successfully with XEN chosen, but then when I tried to activate "Firmware Upgrade" in Kies_1.5.3.10103_102_1 it responded with the following:

"Model Name: GT-I9000

Current version: PDA:JF3/PHONE:JF3/CSC:JF1

This device's version cannot be updated."

- I repeated the procedure with SER as Product Code (Russia) with the same negative result:

"Model Name: GT-I9000

Current version: PDA:JFB/PHONE:JF5/CSC:SWC

This device's version cannot be updated."

- Similar result for XEU option (UK).

- I then installed Kies_1.5.3.10103_102_1 at another PC and repeated the above attempts - no luck. Indeed, both computers had fast access to the Internet and firewall with exception for Kies.

Regretfully, my SGS does not support the magic 3K combo and I would rather using Kies to get back to JPA (Adnroid 2.2). AFAIK, there is no fully secure way of fixing the 3K combo problem, and I don't want to get a brick device.

Any advice and help will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zajec5:
OK, here's the situation:

1) Samsung banned old Kies

2) New Kies uses new, encrypted protocol, so spoofing version won't help

Solutions? I don't know...

1) Stop using Kies, switch to less official applications and firmware

2) Hack Kies to read different ProductCode (this would require disassembling I am afraid)

3) Hack your phone to report different ProductCode (maybe possible with rooted phones?)

No easy solution anyway :|
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
Well, I have succeeded on solution 2 actually :) But still needs some testing before releasing :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
I would appreciate if you post the results when/if this important mission is completed. I will be watching the thread for this.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
Use this file to patch Kies 2.0 to belive you have a phone with productCode XEN and HIDSVWER I9000XWJPA/I9000XENJP2/I9000XXJPP/I9000XWJPA

This will let you update to official JS5.

Put the file in <Kies_Install_dir>\Plugins\DeviceHost

Make sure to enable o make a backup. Else Kies will always belive you are on that particular firmware.

I will try to make an app that lets you choose which firmware you want to spoof. I'll let you know when it's done.

Happy flashing :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Tks for that but I cant find <Kies_Install_dir>\Plugins\DeviceHost

What is the whole path?

Buy the way I bought check fus ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
something like: c:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies or c:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies if you are on 64-bit windows.

Thank you, I hope this will make it worth the small fee :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
:o That;s right!

Silly me; I was looking for the Kies folder instead of the Samsung folder....Just tired..its late over here:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
@ LuffarJoh: thanks for your effort, however in my situation, as you probably noted from my initial request, I already have the official JS5 for XEN installed on my SGS, but it does not support Russian as an input language as opposed to the two previous images - JF3 (android 2.1) and JPA (Android 2.2). So I need to actually downgrade from JS5 to JPA somehow. And my plan was to spoof Kies so it would detect the image of my SGS as the oldest one - JF3 - then (probably) Kies would allow me to upgrade to JPA (as the next version after JF3). Therefore, if you happen to craft a patch for spoofing Kies 2 back to the pre-JPA image detection then I would appreciate you post it to the thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
I see, but I think kies will try to update to JS5 anyway, but I can make a patch to spoof JF3 so you can try. Btw, which product code do you need to spoof?

I will post it later tonight!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
If your question about the PCode then I need to have it be:

PCode: GT-I9000HKDXEN

In the Kies Registry Patcher, the option is

Spoof Software Revision as:

I9000XXJF3/I9000XENJF1/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
Here you go. Hope it works!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
So you dont want JS5 anylonger cause it doesnt support Russian language anymore.

You were not clear about that first....

So just back up your system, flash JS3 with Odin and restore your backup.

In this way you have one of the latest firmwares with russian language support....

By the way , is one of these languages ( see attachment) Russian?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
.

Hey LuffarJoh, your patch is working like a charm!

Are you starting a thread like "JS5 via kies" or something like that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
Great to hear! hm. that might be a good idea. I'll start one in General section I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upiwaly:
Hello, your work is outstanding.

But i have one question - kies offers me JS5 version, but when i want to upgrade the phone, kies starts downloading files, and then i get the message: "this device version cannot be updated".

What could cause that?

Edit:

as soon as upgrading should start, the connection with galaxy is lost. This message appears in the low right corner of the kies. Then in one second is back to normal and the phone is normally connected...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
When I started this patch, it displayed the following note in the main window:

"This will patch Kies to belive you are on I9000XWJPA/I9000XENJP2/I9000XXJPP/I9000XWJPA".

But, as I emphasized to you in my previous post, I need to spoof to the JF3 image. Not to the JPA image - as your patch has displayed (see above). The JF3 image (Android 2.1) was the one right before the JPA (Android 2.1).

Anyway, I appreciate your efforts to help me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
sorry, forgot to change that text. It's spoofing JF3. But apperently it doesnt work to actually download and install the rom :/

but please try anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
The third option in the picture stands for "Russian".

As to flashing through Odin, as I noted, it is a too risky option for me because my SGS does not support the 3K combo method of getting to the download mode. I do not want to "cook a brick" and that was the reason of trying the Kies Patcher.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
The picture is from the languages available on my sgs running JS5

Once again, you are not being clear...

The russian language is not available in swype and samsung keyboard, but its available as locale is settings
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
The patch perfectly works... but regretfully, Kies now offers the upgrade to the very latest image only - JS5 :(

So it did not help me, but your work is great!!

I will probably try with the 301K jig and if it turns my device into the download mode I will try one of the Norse gods - Odin or Heimdal :)

Have a nice weekend!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ivanytch:
Sorry but I was crystal clear because I wrote that "Russian is not supported as an input language"

The input language means that your can type with its chars, and it has nothing to do with the locales used to display information from the OS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] stifflerx:
Too bad. The patch can be gravel but report update, but does not work. I hope it will improve them a little afraid of Odin and have a brick. LG
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Anamcara:
I have installed patch for kies 2.X and now I have this situation/problem:

Kies 2 and registry patcher

Hi is there a way to get this working with Kies 2.0.0.11014_49? I tried with the 1.7 Patcher but no luck! Or does anyone have a link to Kies 1.5.3.10103.102 as the links on the 1st page don't work anymore.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Samsung have blocked the 1.5.3.10103.102 server and the only one that is now up is the Kies 2 server so even if you had it it would be of no use to you sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 3sade:
Is there no way around to fool Kies like with 1.5.3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
Not at the moment. I managed to make a patch to fool kies, but the update module did not got fooled, but I still trying to find a solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 3sade:
That would be so great!

Please keep us updated :)

Thanks man, if you will succeed I will make you a donation!

Do you got a solution for my problem? I'm on XEU JPY now and I wanna go to XEN JPA to be able to get the official XEN JS5 via KIES.

The reason I want XEN is because I'm from the Netherlands and hate to hassle with the APN settings each time (yes I'm a flashaholic :D) and I'd like to do it with KIES because of a special reason ;)

Best regards, thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
The only way left is to use ROM kitchen to build a duplicate rom to your original and to flash the correct PDA,Phone,CSC and the correct region XEN, XEU etc.. that the phone came with using Odin or Heindal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
One thing I noticed. I could not spoof untill I closed and re-opened Kies as ammended below.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nodial:
Well, actually you have to load patcher before to load Kies, so you don't have to open and close.

The reason why i wrote it's needed to open Kies before the patcher it's because of the fact it have to be done the first time only, cause Kies fill Registry the first time it's executed.

From the second time on you have to open the patcher before Kies.

Keep in mind that the spoof it's permanent, it works until you disable it from the patcher.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
It seems a problem related to firmware version reported by the phone itself. It is an already known issue and I suggest you to read this posting http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11963455&postcount=16

I've made a few investigations last night and have found a little way to trick the KIES2 to complete the update process without this annoying error that interrupts it. It was pretty simple to root the phone and edit /system/CSCVersion.txt. Now I am not seeing the annoying «The version of this device cannot be updated.» and just upgraded to latest build of Android 2.1 for my region. Shall be waiting for FroYo for the I5500 when it becomes available.

As far as I could see the new KIES is hard to trick as it still tracks the phone's CSC Version and the one from previously flashed using ODIN firmwares was slightly different which prevented KIES from upgrading firmware. Let's see how LuffarJoh resolved the same issue.

In my galaxy S (GT-I900) i have flashed a rom from samfirmware.com.

Its the 2.2.1 I900XWJS7 (XEE), OK Here comes the best part.

After i Flash the phone using odin 1.3 and re-formating, and using Pit 803,

Connect into kies 2.0, and it says "Cant Update".

OK That's normal.

Try to use this kies registry Patcher 1.8.0.0, to flash the rom from Portugal unbranded, cause i think my phone region was portugal, cause the first language of the fone was Poruguese.

Then kies says! There is an update For you!! Great!!! BUT:mad: After a Moment Says Can't UPDATE!

Ok no prob. the rom works great the phone is fast now, so i keep it (I think).

I rooted the Phone using SuperOneClick 1.7.

After 2 days Rebooted the phone, and sayd to me "let`s see what kies 2.0 say now, without the kies registry"

So i open first kies registry 1.8 and disable spoof.

I Open kies, Conect the phone, and guess what!!!

IT SAYS: This is Most Recent Firmware!!!

Actual Version: PDA:JS7 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (XEE)

Most recen version: PDA:JS7 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (XEE)

So.... anyone know from what country is this code (XEE)??

I want the europe Version.

So Any one can try with a not so recent firmwarwe?

New check in upgrade process

I confirm.

GT-I9000.exe is launched after the firmware download process, and just before the update.

And it does check for version numbers by asking the phone again.

Definitely something to look at for the next patcher release. ;)

I tested to deny access to the phone to this prog, but I also prevent the upgrade from proceeding...

At least, I have tried! :p

I might have a very good or a very stupid idea :)

What if we make a software that allows us to spoof the info directly to the phone, like spoofing the phone's registry and have like a Froyo flashed that sais it's an Eclaire, that way kies reads it and proceed as the script would say and ask for upgrade (and a downgrade will take place) :) . I don't know what kies reads from the phone, i'm just saying it might read just 3-4 registry lines (probably until further updates is this method will be a solution) :)

Bottom line:

-ROM registry patcher

-create a base (whatever the version) dummy "one package" with the ROM registry patcher for whatever revision you need

-have it flashed with Odin

-Connect to Kock

-new firmware available nigga!!

-booyah!!
