I'm trying to root my brothers phone for him and having all kinds of issues. The firmware version on his phone is showing as '2.1-update|' and when I click on the Software Update option, it has a pop-up that says 'No Firmware'. I installed Kies on my PC and when I connect his phone is says that his phone is not compatitble with Kies 2.0 (phone is in Kies mode).
The goal is just to root his phone so he can cleanup some bloatware and remove some T-Mo installed apps. It seems I have to at least get the phone up to 2.3.6 in order to root it but If I can get the new i7 4.0 ICS on it for him than even better.
Are there any settings that are prohibiting the Software Update from going through, or from Kies working with the phone?
