For the hell of it I went and opened up Kies and was hit with a new Kies Update, not a lollipop update, well not yet. i am hoping that after I update Kies, Version 3.2.15013.17, I will be hit with the official update for Lollipop soon on it.
I recommend this update now if you have not done it though. It is a big update which is the reason I am excited it might lead me toan official Lollipop notice.
Fingers crossed!!!!!

Post an update if its officially the 5.0 version
No notice from Kies after the Kies update for 5.0. It is still saying my phone is up to date on firmware.
I would still go ahead and update Kies because it took like half an hour to download and uninstall the old version and install the new version.
It has some pretty neat new features too especially when it comes to doing a back up. it backs up everything including music.
Update your Kies now because when the Lollipop update hits Kies you do not want to have to wait another half an hour for Kies to update.

I have been trying to update to the 3.29.651.5 update since its release on September 22 and it just continually says, "Checking..." It never stops. I've left it there for thirty minutes before. It never tells me there isn't an available update nor that 3.29.651.5 is available.
I took the phone into a Sprint store and they said to come back in forty-five minutes for the upgrade (a bit of a wait!). I came back after fifty and they told me they would have to wipe the phone to install the software update.
Is there an easier way to fix this? Sprint support gave me a link to a download for the update, but said it is a risk. Is there a way to just fix what is making it continually check so that it finally just finds the software update by the normal means?
Thank you for any help.

just download the ota from here in the 4g developement area and connect to your pc and update, be sure to sync your contacts first, and back your apps up to just incase, i know when i updated the wife's hero her contacts were ok, and did not get deleted from the phone, the apps i cant remember if i had to add them back in or not.
I ended up doing a factory reset and then the update was able to found normally. Thank you for your help, though.
I rooted and debloated my s2 not expecting an official update as with my vibrant. So now I hear ICS is in kies but it won't let me DL. Recognized my phone and said update available. Starts dling and at 100% lies just shuts down any suggestions ?? Thx in advance
firmware upgrade failure fix
Easiest fix its to use kies to do an emergency firmware restore. hopefully you made a backup before starting the upgrade. if not then you can restore to stock using kies and the model and serial numbers of your device located under the battery. leave the batter out during the restore and don't let the pc battery get low nor lose internet connection or you'll have a $500 paper weight. after the restore is complete you can use odin to reflash cwm and then reinstall super user binaries through the custom recovery. if windows gives you problems with odin, as it did me after working just fine the first go around then you probably need to update 7-zip if you have that as a file compression app on your pc. and if you do i recommend switching over to jzip instead. you can get it free just google it. let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be glad to help further.
I had no problem updating my rooted and debloated S2 last weekend. Make sure you update Kies first.

What was in the update? I got an OTA notification that there is a software update for my SGSII (running ICS 4.0.4). Why do I need to use Kies?
You don't need to if you got the OTA notification.
I'm trying to update my tab 3 8.0 but I'm rooted. Is there any way to to update without unrooting?
It keeps saying this device has been modified no updates available
you could unroot if you're using super su. not sure how to do that with superuser.
if you've modified /system/app in any way you're likely to have issues as well.
There's an update? I don't see one....but...after ONLY 5 months with no love......kinda disappointed I got this thing. My Nexus 10's been updated numerous times in the same period.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If you could download the update then you could flash it through your recovery. You can usually find firmware here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (I don't see anything new) You can also use Kies to return your tablet back to stock using the emergency recovery feature. You have to run Kies from a computer and connect via USB cable to do it.

Flash the original Stock FW... then do all your updates...
(Mine did 2 over the weekend..)
After your updates, then re-root.
good luck
Yeah I wouldn't say I'm disappointed but kinda wish I went with a note tab. I just figured there was a update because that message come up when I tap update.

Hi,
You may want to try updating with ODIN or Kies instead of OTA.
Honestly, I never update my device via OTA. It's slower and full of bugs.
ODIN is FASTER with least bugs.
Good luck.
My phone is completely stock and unrooted. I took the OTA OE1 upgrade, but now my phone won't even check for updates to allow me to upgrade to OG5. When I push the "Update Now" button, it does nothing. PRL and profile will update though. Anyone experience this at all or know what to do? Sprint Customer support was useless trying to help me.
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried KIES on your PC? You can also backup your data with KIES.
Another option is to factory reset your phone and try to update OTA.

Factory reset was the only thing that would work for me. Kies kept saying I was up to date.
Incrementally updated to OJ6 yet?
If not check for update again. You may not get it right away though.

Like others have said, Kies 3 will often update phones that wont update through other means. As of 11/10 I don't think OJ6 is available via Kies yet, but it should be in a few days at most. Using Kies has always preserved data when I've used it.
