I cannot upgrade to latest Kies. Keeps saying the trey agent is in process. Windows 7 64 bit machine. Have the skyrocket. I am at the point where I am going give up upgrading my phone... Kies is not worth it...
I'm in the US & I'm having 2 issues
#1 Kies keeps asking for me to upgrade to version 2.5.3.13033_7 even after I uninstalled every trace of kies and downloaded Kies from samsung.
#2 when I try to upgrade, I get a message that it "can not stop kies tray agent process, please re-boot your computer"
Did all of that and I get all the same messages
Help!!! I can't upgrade my S2, until all of the above is resolved.

Found the fix on here. Go into Kies, when it prompts to update don't click anything. Press control+shift+escape and open the task manager. Go to processes, scroll down to the kies tray agent, and manually end the process. Then, click update in kies, should work from there
1). Open KIES
2). Disconnect all devices
3). Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC [escape])
4). Click on Processes
5). Click on "Image Name," this alphabetizes the whole process list
6). Scroll down to KIES processes, including KiesTrayAgent, KiesPBLR, and KIES Air Agent
7). Right click and End Process Tree on all three of the above processes
. Keep Task Manager open, and go into KIES
9). Click "Help" at the top
10). Click "Check for Updates"
11). You might have to repeat this process a few more times before it actually works, sometimes user error can be a stop in the steps.
That's the intent. It uses the same TW Nature UX as the Galaxy S3. Issue is, TW Nature was really designed for 720p screen resolution, and the GS2 devices only have WVGA (Samsung stayed with WVGA and didn't move to qHD like Motorola and HTC did). The lower screen resolution makes those elements take up a larger "effective" area of the screen than on the GS3. It is not that annoying on that phone, as it is on ours.I will note that most of the visual changes to my Skyrocket under JB make it look just like my buddy's S3. The difference is that his screen is slightly bigger in both dimensions, and so things (like the Notification Shade info) just look like they "fit" better. Even though mine's only 0.3" inches smaller, stuff just looks "shoehorned" into my Skyrocket by comparison.
They should've offered an OTA option rather than pushing Kies as the only option. I don't plan to do this upgrade (happy with my CM ROM), but would like to hear what you think of 4.1.2 with TouchWiz.
I'm having the same issue. Upgraded last night, and now my screenshot doesn't work (Home + Power). Instead, the task manager pops up. I contacted Samsung tech support, she told me it should now be the Volume Down + Power. That doesn't work either. I HATE the thought of not being able to screenshot anymore. I probably use that feature more than anything else on my phone. :'(
Just upgraded to 4.1.2 from KIES and now my Skyrocket does not recognize any wi-fi connections. Anyone have this problem? If so, any advice on how to correct this issue?
same thing is happening to me did you find a work around? my only other option is to try a different computer to attempt the update.The last KIES update went well. This one is a crap shoot! ESET is off, KIES is updated and nothing. It starts and completes the update file download, then KIES goes off and nothing happens. About ready to tell Samsung just what I feel about KIES.
