I'm still getting 'Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.' And it says I'm still on current firmware at 2.3.6.

they may be phasing it to keep from overloading servers?

I installed successfully from Kies a little while ago... working well so far.

could be something with macs? i'm trying to update on a macbook pro and i consistently get that same message, and recently kies wouldn't even recognize my phone...this process has really burned me on ever getting another android phone

a few days ago i was having trouble getting it to recognize my phone as well. i switched USB ports, and then it started workings. its weird because the other USB port still works. but i guess kies wants me to use the other one. im also on a MBP

I just connected my G2 and am getting the prompt for the ICS update. Wish me luck. ==

For everyone trying to update on a Mac:


The problem we are all having is that the Mac version of Kies is 1.3, and you need 2.0 to update firmware. No phone can be update using Kies on a Mac.

In fact after intense amount of Googling I finally found this page: Software Upgrade Samsung If you look at the tips sections (near the bottom) it states that to update firmware you need a Windows machine.

This is complete bull .

so I tried to update, got halfway through and encountered an error. Kies told me to use the firmware recovery tool which I have tried numerous times, but in recovery mode my phone is not being recognized. I have removed the battery, put it back in, hit the power button on my phone which is supposed to put the phone in recovery mode, and reconnected the phone to my pc. Kies tries to do the recovery but my phone is not being recognized as being connected. Anyway, what can I do at this point?

So the update went ok. Obviously I have to re add all my folders (and apps) to the "desktop". Question...how does one go about re sizing the samsung power widget? Normally I'd have it where I'd swipe left or right for all the options. Now it's showing - all options.

Got my ICS upgrade with Kies this morning. No problems and working great. Battery life definitely improved.

This is not an android issue. This is a Samsung issue. Most phone makers do their updates over the air without having to hook up to a computer.

guess i should head to the library then...hope i can install a program on those computers and then uninstall it....if not ill need to figure something else

Do we have to upgrade back to 2.3.6, or can we go straight from 2.3.4? And, if I am reading this right, I am going to have to download all my apps and settings again?

Uh yeah... That's not an Android problem. Kies is Samsung only. To write off Android completely based on pure Samsung software issues is just ignorant. Quit whining and buy a damn Nexus or HTC if you don't like it.

i know i should know better than to listen to at&t store reps, but i was kind of told that i would never have issues using this phone with a mac. i'm kind of pissed. and why isn't the update over the air? if it wasn't for this employee discount i would've ditched at&t long ago..

Here's a better example of the samsung widget I'm referring too. I can re add it , however there's no option of making it smaller (like I had before i updated to ICS).
