New AT&T Software Update - Problem

[ZRsDad]

At 5:45 CDT, I received a notification of an AT&T software update (36.58 MB). I was on wi-fi, and the message said I needed to stay within wi-fi range. Performed update... "Optimizing 152 applications". Now, Android version is still 4.0.4, Kernel version is 3.0.8, Build number is IMM76D.UCMB4.

When I realized that it wasn't Jelly Bean, I synced via Kies to see how it showed phone status. Kies says "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies." It shows that I AM connected, but now something's out of sync. (And I can't even tell what the OTA update was.)

Anyone else?

Same thing happened to me this morning. I was hoping it was the Jelly Bean update, but instead it seem like its an update to block the update. WTF?

I had the same issue. I'm hoping that this is a precursor to the Jelly Bean update, but at this point who knows. They don't release information about the updates, I think they want to keep it a surprise.

I had the same problem. Please see below a cut and paste of a chat with Samsung technical support.

Samantha : I am sorry, we are unable to match your Baseband verison with current version. Your device is displaying different version.
Samantha : I am sorry, the version which is displaying on the device is not available/updated in our website. As the update has been pushed by AT&T, please contact them regarding the issue.

This is what AT&T technical support had to say:

Shannon Taylor: I am sorry, ecustomer, but we have no information about Kies at all.
Shannon Taylor: This is 100% designed and supported by Samsung.
Shannon Taylor: We have no information about it in any way at all.

So what in the world does it mean when At&T doesn't know and Samsung doesn't know. This is absurd.

It means that your phone is ahead of the current version of Kies. When Kies gets updated, the firmware version message will change.

Same thing here for the past 2 days. I figured my Note being rooted was causing the update to fail.

Has anyone tried updating Kies manually in the app? Curious to see a change log for this update.

I just let Kies re-install the device driver and Kies works fine again.

Thanks, hopefully its the pre requisite for OTA upgrade to JB. If not GN3 should be on the horizon soon.

the issue isnt an update issue. its the updates effect on the kies software. after the update kies doesnt recognize the firmware.

Find that hard to believe the two are related. Are you using the OEM cable? It can make a difference. What OS are you running on your computer? Running as administrator? Reboot your computer/phone? Reinstall the Samsung DRIVER?
