ok... can't even connect to my phone from kies. last time i tried... copying a small file (less than 1mb took more than 5mins).

*sigh*

seems anything with the word kies is jinxed and bad news...

i think this is not on the phone side. from your windows PC, basically delete any sgs2 drivers and let the pc detect the phone again... like new.

ooops... wrong advice.

only thing i din try is reinstall kies coz i can't even uninstall the dang software... man, i give up. i'm just going to wait and see if others reported any success before i try again. <--- but i think i'll going to be stubborn and go back to trying again later this evening... lol...

it detects... but you still can't update firmware, right?

sorry... friday... and just back from hols. brain all still not really working... just like kies.

pj and/or kl would be nice.

hah? u mean previously you could not even download the firmware???

i got to that... downloaded 100% some more... and tried like more than 4 times.

aiyoh... why seems like everyone also like to have service centre there? i think asus SC is there too...

hmmm... a bit lazy to go so far... so i guess i will just try to reinstall kies first.

but its kinda stupid of Samsung not to allow FOTA, right?

Added on September 2, 2011, 4:54 pmhuh? what is the diff between firmware component and file for firmware upgrade?

in that case, i think your one is just updating the kies, isit?

hmmm... ok, good to know got options.

so... there's one in KL (Times Square area) and 1 next to Fed Highway.

my worry is... go to SC... the technician there say "Got new firmware meh? we have not gotten instructions yet. Please come back another day."

ya, i think i had that one... but if you can see the main/ first window (coz i think this is a pop up, right), then you can see your phone status is disconnected. i reached 100% a few times but the firmware update did not proceed coz no phone was detected.

if benny's online today... i think he'll probably puke blood seeing how we can't even update the official firmware using official tool. lol...

ok, do I need to go to asgard to download odin?

I guess I could check page 1... but going for some kind soul to add 1 post to this thread and let me know where I can find and download odin. I just hope odin is not command based. my typing sucks and I prefer gui. just click and click... ;-)

ok, odin 1.85 is the latest, right?
