1)What is the current version?
2)What phone model are you using?
3)How fast is your internet connection?
Get out of all rings ( opt out of insider programme) restart phone. Download upgrade advisor follow on screen instructions.
If you own an unsupported phone make required changes in the registry using interop tools.
If your phone is supported and an update is available and if it is available to download via update & security. Hit download sometimes the progress bar doesn't move at all don't worry plug your charger and connect to WiFi, 3g, it may take hours,days to show the progress but it will be downloading in background.
If you are facing a different problem. Please ask.

Kies 2.0.3.11082_152 Now Available (26th Sept 2011)

A new update is available for kies. Launch your kies on pc and you will be promted to upgrade
to the new Kies 2.0.3.11082_152 version.
As normal with any Samsung kies update, you may receive "network disconnected" errors while updating.
Just be patient. Upgrade process takes about 4 minutes to complete.
On the outlook (UI), there is no notice change. But maybe new drivers were introduced to enable to "not-yet-known" upgrade process to bada 2.0.
After installing this hotfix every apps are signed as free of charge (of course they're not, and when trying to buy any of them error occurs).
Doublechecked by installing previous version and this hotfix (as there is still no standalone version).
that update didn't appear into my kies until now!!!!
A request from persons who updated : please check if sp**fing hole is patched or not
Is the installing app just once is still in there???
Is kies more buggy now???
Best Regards
@mylove90
Checked, sp**f works like a charm. The issue which unables reinstalling apps is still there.
But reinstalling the apps works in KIES 1.5.
It seems the problem is in KIES 2.0, not the server.
oh ****
they are fixing bugs with bugs or what?!
i don't get it !!!!!!
i think maybe i'll hold and won't update to this useless update
thanks Qron for the news
Best Regards
Updating now...
It's not connecting to my SGS after the update
new kies version detects beta and custom roms. bad thing.
Send a screenshot of the Bug to Samsung tech support
I got email from Samsung customer service since i complained about the reinstall bug.
They have no idea that kies is doing this and therefore they have asked for screenshots to prove it.
So go to the samsung website then log in then go to my page and then on the left click my q & a.
Send them the screenshot and make your complaint.
They are adamant that KIES is not supposed to prevent you from reinstalling your apps paid or free so its good that they confirmed that this was not their intention.
In the complaint mail I sent to Samsung on 22nd Sept, I included two screenshots.
They replied me that they are already investigating the case.
Maybe Samsung has no central co-ordinating unit to attend to complaints of clients,
each country attends to complaints separately. Just maybe...otherwise why ask for more screen shots.
Well..in that case i'll give them a complaint too & make them wake up
Kies Devs aren't working with Samsung Apps Devs
So maybe Kies Devs are making bugs while Samsung apps Devs have no idea what they did
i hope i am wrong and they are all connected
Best Regards
I have nothing but problems with the new Kies. Couldn't find phone after update, then it said drivers didn't work anymore, got it working by reinstalling drivers again but now it can't find the phone again...!
Didn't think they could make Kies any worse, guess I was wrong

You need to flash to any full firmware of your region.
After flashing, go to admin mode, pre-configuration setting, and install the correct csc for that region.
Then kies will be able to update your phone again.
Best of luck.
After updating Kies to 2.0.3.11082_152 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 , DeviceDataService crashes , cant do any file transfers, ironically kies reads the phones contact data. Whats going on with kies ? earlier before this upgrade it was slow but used to work fine...
I am having a problem which I think started only when I last updated kies, it gave me errors that phone not detected I restarted the computer then finally got it detected but now when I disconnect the media scanner on phone does not run hence the following problem.
1. From Camera / video camcorder window I cannot access the gallery anymore. My gallery is on External 32gb sd card.
2. Custom ringtone changes randomly then again (sometimes) its back to my preset default. (internal sd card)
I have custom folder named "my ringtones" in which mp3 files are there to set as my default ring tone & 2 of the groups use custom ring tone so I can identify which group is calling.
Now this folder is on internal SD card & its there for sure but the default ringtone set losses its setting & change to stock rom default ringtone & then I can even see my ringtone folder from settings/sound/phone ringtone & don't know how to set custom ringtone unless it shows.
Any way to force the media scanner, I don't know how it got disabled.
Seems new Version availabale 2.1.0.11095_121

cant install latest driver

Downloaded the latest Acer driver, but windows 7 keeps saying their 2006 driver is the best available. I really believe that this is what is causing so many root/unlock/flash problems.
What is the solution?

Plug in your tablet, let windows load it up, then press the windows key and break, then go to hardware/ device manager (sorry its been awhile since I ran windows), and then select your tab, then uninstall the drivers. Unplug the tablet, reboot, once back into windows install the acer drivers with their installation application, THEN plug in the tablet again.

Help me pls! could not use playstore/google service after root

As title, i root my tab s 8.4 today by the cf-auto root, after that i could not use any Google service.
i tried the method i could search on the forum, reset auto date/time, clear cache, delete google service data/ apps, update these service, factory reset, clean flash rom and its still not working. now i totally cannot download any apps from playstore or use apps that connected to google play.
update: after send to samsung service center, they could not found out whats wrong with my tab. They reflash local original firmware for me(before send i flashed a Russia firmware). somehow they able to erase all stuff very clean without leaving any trace that i mess up and it work perfectly. BTW they did do it free for me (under warranty even i rooted and trigger the knox to 1 with warranty void).

Thats a random one, best solution i can give you there is going into settings and doing a full reset, your tablet gets wiped but your personal documents get left...then when you sign back into google all ur apps should redownload themselves and your contacts and it will still be rooted m8....let us know how you get on pal.

If this doesnt do the trick just dwnload the latest firmware for you from sammobile.com , extract the file inside the zip, use odin to flash it...this is the 1.6gb sized file im talking about, it will completely re go over EVERYTHING there is to go over except obviously your personal stuff...you will end up with an unrooted deep factory reset devices...then try another root method...if your feeling brave ...good luck m8

Hello. Does google play force stop or...? Does it say cant connect bla bla bla?
The only thing I can suggest is installing cm11 and flash the gapps package. It should remove google play and reinstall it.

Hey Thanks for the fast reply.
Well, it crashes all the time, have to keep hitting ok, so i uninstalled the play store etc. I rooted and wanted CM in the first place so this will be awesome If i can get it working. I noticed that the installer isnt supported but could you link me to the best tutorial to follow. I have only done this once on my S3.
Thank you in advance and peace.

Installer? You need to install twrp recovery. Just download flashify (from playstore) and install the latest twrp.
I assume you have the Tab S 8.4 SMT700? If so http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54549581 is the link and download for cm11. This is for google apps forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
And download this for supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Just download all that.
Heres a video I made for how to install cm12. The procedure to install is still the same. http://youtu.be/K96siaPKtrU

[Q] Flashtool with Windows 8.1

Trying to use Flashtool to downgrade to KK so I can root and flash LP, but Flashtool gets stuck as soon as I try to run it. It come up with errors about not finding a proxy for Firefox or IE or Java. I'm currently using Chrome, but I downloaded and installed Java and even opened up IE in a new window. I have installed drivers after disabling the signature check, but still have the same problem.
So what am I doing wrong?

The unofficial flashtool by Bin4ry, as I'm trying to avoid unlocking my bootloader. I have used it before on my old computer (Windows 7), but can't seem to get it to work on this one (Windows 8.1).

I'm on win 8.1 and I originally used Androxyde Flashtool from here which works fine with 8.1.... everything you need to downgrade and upgrade.... and even unlock B/L.... or not !!
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
That's what I have. I put the firmware in the folder specified, but keep getting stopped right here.
The only way to get rid of it is to kill it with the task manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I haven't had this computer very long, so Win 8.1 is still new to me.

Hmmm.... that's the very same Flashtool I have.... so we know it CAN work on 8.1.... time for the obvious first... uninstall completely and re-install paying careful attention to where you direct the installation to go and ensuring you get the 64 bit (assuming yr on 64 bit win 8.1) ... then once installed don't open until you re-boot and so you'll need to open from wherever you installed a shortcut.... internet connected to sync from github

No luck so far. Uninstalled, re-downloaded, reinstalled (even the drivers). I even found a detailed video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld4wz06bLpg
As far as I can tell, I'm following everything to a "T". PC Companion works just fine. Probably just overlooking something very simple... Just have to keep digging, I guess. I'll post whatever solution I find, in case someone else is having this problem.
Thanks for your help!

I remember having similar issues . For me there was some junk in the firmware folders, try removing everything and just put what u need there. Dunno if it helps but worth a try. Good Luck

Wi-Fi looses connect after Andoid 9 update on XZ2c

Hi,
After performing OTA update to Android 9 Pie WiFi started to experience serios problems.
It connects to Wi-Fi routers like before, but keep constantly loosing connection. The indication in the status bar is like normal. However all apps requiring internet stop working.
In Twitter app, you can browse the tweets but when you want to update the screen you have 'Unable to get tweets at this time'
In Gmail app, you can browse emails in a folder but when you switch to other folder you will have 'Connection error, retry'
In eBay app, you may go into Bids area of the app and see your bids, but when you switch to a lot the app locks.
WiFi calling is not working.
This problem was reported many times this summer, when Pie was available for beta download (Reddit and Google dev forums have a long list of reports). It was suggested that:
-disable\enable WiFi trick can work this out. (It cannot with XZ2c)
-disable IPv6 in router as the Pie tries to establish IPv6 connection (It is not a solution when you are not an admin of a router, but I checked on 3 networks and diffrent models by disabling IPv6- no use).
-disable WiFi discovery in WiFi settings (it does not work).
-reset network setting (I did lost all my saved networks, but it did not help).
I contacted Sony Support and the only suggestions is that OTA update did not go well, so they want me to make update again via Xperia Companion. Meaning hours of backup and loosing information and settings of dozens of apps.
According to the reports (you can google "WiFi issues after Android Pie update") making factory reset is not a solution. I will try to restore the updated Android 9 via Xperia Companion.
But this is the serious issue equal to bricking a phone that quite new yet. (((((((
seems I am experiencing this as well sometimes after PIE update... sh!t..
I made clean install via Xperia Companion and it did not help. Sony wants me to bring it to the service.

Yes, install flashtool and download a firmware that is still on Oreo (check version number). I used the SG one (4G icon and NFC persistent icon). After flashing it, you most likely end up in a bootloop. Fix this with Experia Companion. Don't wait to long though; once Pie is available for all regions, you can't use Companion to fix the bootloop AND stay on Oreo. You will be stuck with Pie. Good luck!

Sound near impossible. When can I get the latest Oreo for ZX2c? Can you guide me to flashtool thread, so that I could read how to do it?
It's not too difficult. All you need to know is at flashtool.net
Installed previous firmware, all problems gone!! Even the speed is faster than on Android Pie
Now I need to find out how to hide Sony's 'New software available' from the notifications.

if you find out please share... did it appear even disabling the auto-update in settings?
and you had to factory reset to revert succesfully to Oreo I think? can you list the steps you followed? I may be interested in reverting to oreo as well until pie will be more stable...tia!

1) I donwloaded and installed flashtool
2) I dowloaded and installed the driver https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-xz2-driver/
3) I find the previous firmware for my region, the latest is 51.1.A.11.51 . It is one big 2.2 Gb *.ftf file, I put it into C:\Users\**yourname*\.flashTool\firmwares on my Win7 pc
4) Run the flashtool and pressed the flash button
5) when prompted I switched off the phone, pressed volume down button and then inserted the USB into phone and pc
6) Waited 7-8 minutes untill the flashing is finished.
Disconnected the phone, pressed power and in 10 minutes I have this cool device up and running like it should!

thanks I already downloaded the .11.51 firmware also, but I don't have the ftf, I have all files extracted... probably because I selected to unpack it automatically.. but I thought I still could find the ftf somewhere... will download it again without the unpacking this time and see.
this way it cleared all your data right? and wiped internal sd also maybe? or all your data was still there after the downgrade?

thanks for the info, fastory reset is not a big problem for me, I think I am downgrading also soon! don't like pies... :laugh: redownloading ftf now and flashtool (which is taking ages to complete download... so slow!)
edit: even without unpacking I don't have the ftf but three separated files, will google to see how to create the ftf from the firmware files!
nvm
downgrade successful, great to see Oreo running again! quick settings icons in pie are just horrible..
no update notification here yet, but probably just because the ftf i chose (customized ce1) has no pie update available yet...!

no update notification here yet, but probably just because the ftf i chose (customized ce1) has no pie update available yet...!

Glad to hear that you succeded! Congrats!
I have read some advice that AdGuard app can block Sony Software Updates, but it required installation of crapware (unnecessary browsers) so I will look into other possibilities to block it. This exercise with Pie update made me spend long hours backing up and restoring, so I will need more time.
Offtopic: I have blocked updates on Win 10, Mozilla and now it is time for my Android phone. What is this world coming to...

I'm using adguard to block ads in browser.. maybe if we disable the Sony sw update app via adb will do the trick? i did this to disable some system apps that were not possible to disable from settings (SwiftKey keyboard etc)
i don't mind about future updates so will try tomorrow if i have time and see what happens!
disabled all update relevant apps from the phone via adb shell.. I hope this will prevent the ota update to show up, will see when the PIE update for CE1 will be released! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

you must install minimal adb for windows and send the adb command, I did it on win10 and it worked fine. also disabled headsup notifications this way, hate them!
when you have minimal adb installed, connect the phone via usb (when it is on and debug mode enabled in advanced settings) open a command prompt from the folder where you have adb.exe and run:
adb devices
... to check if your phone is seen. if so, run the following commands to disable sony update apps:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.updatecenter
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.mtp.extension.fotaupdate
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.mtp.extension.update
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.updatecenter.config.latecmz
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.updatecenter.config.autoinstall
doing like this now when I go to settings > sw update I have now the stock android update app opening, not the sony app anymore, so hope the sony updates won't be seen anymore!
if you have already the notification always shown you can try the above and see if after rebooting the phone, it disappears or not..
let me know!
