I bought my GS3 yesterday and wanted to update it to 4.1.1. Now i went home. downloaded the kies software. plug my phone in and downloaded the drivers. I then go to kies and it pulls up the update notification. I start the update and after the "downloading firmware update components" the screen dissappears and kies shuts down. Nothing else happens. I'm seriously pissed and confused because i don't understand. Talked with Samsung live chat several times and they give me the same step by step trouble shooting. Has anyone ever encountered this or is there a way I can officially update it, just not through Kies? I do not want cyanogen or root. I would like the official update. thanks
Mine had lots of issues. First off make sure you're running Kies as an administrator. When you run the update just walk away for about 10 minutes because it does go blank on the screen even though it's still going. That said I don't believe kies went away I think that only the update screen went away while it ran. At some point I determined that my USB 3.0 port was a problem and I had to switch to my other one which was USB 2.x. I don't know if it was the type of port that mattered or the fact that they were both on the front and just plugged up to the motherboard. I actually think the USB 3.0 has come loose inside because it doesn't work for the phone now either.

kies is tricky it takes a while for you to actually get it working have some patience and continue to try you will get it also if your phone has become unusable flash the kies emergency recovery or something like that to get you back rolling
well, today i try to update my phone and after 100% of "Prepare firmware update" i wait for 1 hr but still kies dont update my phone...pls help me
are you wiling to try another method besides kies ? because there are other ways if you want me to point you in the right direction
ODIN and download mode are likely your best bets. I don't even bother with kies.

Hi There
I recently updated to Android 4.3 and ever since then my phone isn't charging anymore. When I connect it to my PC it is connected as an "unknown device". At first it was charging when turned off, but know even that doesn't work.
I had clockworkmod installed, but since the update I only get the "No command." message and the standard Android system recovery.
I'd like to get my phone connected to my PC again somehow, so I can downgrade to 4.2.2 again.
Anyone has the same problem / suggestions on how to solve this?
Thanks!

Hi, I've got the exact same problem on my Galaxy Nexus, and I can't find any solution yet, I've a couple of things that did not work at all.
Now I've got the charging anim on the screen when my phone is switched off but even then, it seems I can't get it charged more then 8%
Really don't know what to do here
External battery charger... Charge your battery and flash back to 4.2 until you can sort issue out?

Can you check if you still have root? If you still have root, you can flash another recovery using Mobile Odin.

Yeah I want to flash back to 4.2 or CM. The problem is I can't since my PC doesn't recognize my device. I tried different drivers but it just pops up as "unknown device" in the device manager.
Can anyone tell me how to downgrade i am a noob currently on stock 4.3

After hours of flashing rooting unrooting it finally works but i really don't know how.
At first my phone wasnt anymore recognized by my PC, after playing around with checking unchecking debuging mode, and uninstalling drivers and installing drivers from the NEXUS ROOT TOOLKIT, it came back on my PC screen.
-first i downgraded to 4.2.2 (using nexus root tollkit), it did not change anything
-then got back on 4.3 with OTA, still same problem
-then tried unlocking rooting and flashing cyanmogen mod, still same problem
-Finally i flashed stock 4.3, unrooted and locked, and now everything works perfectly...I really dont know how but now its all good, also it looked like Avast and Nova launcher were not doing too well with 4.3 so i uninstalled them and really saw a difference afterwards
I hope this may help someone

its telling me there's no update as well, not sure why.
I'm having a problem with my LG G2 LS980 Sprint version where I'm stuck at a firmware update screen with 0%, and nothing is changing. It also says "Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is complete", and at the bottom, is says "ROOTED" in red. Is the phone bricked? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
