Help Gingerbread 2.3: This version of the device cannot be updated

[najiss]

Hi All,
Just like everyone, I'm excited about updating to Gingerbread 2.3. So when I heard the official version is available via Kies, I connected my SGS to kies but its saying in the Firmware infomation: 'This version of the device cannot be updated'. The Kies software is the most recent version 2.0.0.1.11032_12.

I'm currently in UK an have an unbranded (unlocked/sim free) SGS.
Current firmware version PDA:JPA / PHONE:JPP / CSC:JP4 (XEU).

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks.

I believe the update in the UK is for vodafone phones only right now.

If you want to upgrade to 2.3 you can go to Login - www.SamFirmware.com and get the European version and use ODIN to install.

samfirmware mentioned that your modem needs to be xee or nee to get an update over KIEs.

Gingerbread seems to have been pulled for the moment.

Gingerbread seems to have been pulled for the moment.

I managed to upgrade to 2.3.3 before it was pulled. KIES is now showing that this firmware cannot be updated. Why is this?

It should say that i have the latest firmware??

I have same gripe - and i'm still on 2.2.0.
Might check the modem as per SF comment..

Mine used to say the same, i.e., " This version of the device cannot be updated ". My phone was supplied to me by Virgin Mobile UK, unlocked and unbranded. Firmware version 2.2.1 JPW ( XEU ).
Recently I flashed it with Darky's rom 9.5, but decided to return the phone back to stock. However, I couldn't find JPW on samfirmware so just flashed it with JPY. Now Kies gives me the message " This is the latest firmware ".
So it would seem that Kies doesn't recognize certain firmwares and says " This version of the device cannot be updated ".

All the best.
