AT&T Jelly Bean Update FINALLY Available via Kies!!!!!

[XChrisX]

Mine already download... i just have to wait... Because my batt is low... What do you think my batt level has to be before it lets me install it?

If your phone is plugged in, and being charged I don't think it matters.

No go for me. Updated Kies. Rebooted computer and plugged s3 in, got the upgrade pop up, selected it and the nothing.

Say it was downloading but no go.

Any ideas?

So it was downloading but it just randomly quit downloading or what? What do you mean by "no go"?

If you are having trouble with Kies recognizing your phone, try a different or standard, i.e. "non-charging" USB cable. I switched cables and the update popped right in. Nice. Thanks all for the heads up to go get it.

Not seeing an update via kies. Updated kies, no change. Uninstalled kies, downloaded from keis website, no change. Used 2 different Samsung USB cables, no change. Anything else to try?

Did kies ever connect to your phone?

Are you using a USB hub? If so, hook the cable directly into one of the PC slots.

It is best to charge your battery to 100% when flashing a rom or doing a firmware upgrade. That is the new basis the software will use for your battery calibration. Although you are charging your phone while updating, the charge generated by a USB port is not enough to sustain the phone during a high CPU usage when updating firmware. To prevent any damage to your phone, it is best to have it charged at least 40% to ensure it does not die while updating. YMMV

Phone has to be a 50% or greater before Kies will allow the upgrade, which is ironic as today was the day that I decided to see how long my battery would last. I saw that the update was available and I have 16% battery, of course.

Oddly you can't encourage a charger to work any faster, wishing doesn't make the electrons flow faster either...

Once you install Kies and connect your phone there is a button on the main screen that says "Firmware Upgrade/Update." Press that and follow the instructions. Make sure your battery is fully charged before you begin.

No still not seeing the update. Kies shows the phone is connected, but the section that shows Firmware Information has Current firmware version and nothing after it. I tried deleting kies again and reinstalled it, no luck. Plugged directly into the PC (Windows 7, 64) USB slot, tried multiple slots.

Kies wont even start on my laptop....maybe because I have Win 8 consumer preview?

Go to Help in Kies and update the program. Then hook your phone up and it will prompt you to upgrade.

Mine auto detected the update. Took about a half hour from start tonfinish but worked. Seemed like it hung for a while a few times. Patience is not my fortay... Let it run and do its job.
