Help Updating firmware officially, not through rooting

[TrisTan5267]

Guys, how can I update my firmware? Does it run through Kies? Does Kies prompt if there is a new update for phone? Haven't tried plugging my Galaxy Ace on the computer yet.

you can update the official firmware through Kies when released but not yet released at present. Or, you can flash the 3rd party firmware into your device.

We'll, I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'll just wait for Kies. I want to do it officially and not to destroy it's warranty.

waiting for official seems a better idea

1. plug Galaxy Ace to pc using usb chord.

2. now what?

3. will it prompt which to use? as mass storage or use kies?

4. or will it automatically run kies and look for its drivers then have the interface of kies?

5. did you turned on the usb debugging thingy? don't know what it is.

I cannot update my firmware on Kies, it always shows "time out" on halfway loading. T_T
