| Apr 11, 2011 at 21:11 | comment | added | Denys S. | Funny, but it seems that the problem is actually in the network segment, from which I tried to update the system. It's super secure and has extremely filterable traffic, and it allows only certain range of ports to be used. And it looks like Sumsung is trying to be smart and use certain own security. :) Though this way should be working. Thanx. | |

In most cases when something goes wrong you can still get the phone into Download mode even if it won't boot, and Odin can be used to undo the damage. I've used Odin lots without problems, but if you're unsure about anything do feel free to ask. | |

| Apr 11, 2011 at 17:16 | comment | added | Denys S. | Great, the download mode works. That's a real progress. :) | |
| Apr 11, 2011 at 17:02 | comment | added | Matthew Read | Understandable. One would think that Kies would offer you the update, since it's detecting that you don't have 2.2 yet. | |
| Apr 11, 2011 at 17:00 | comment | added | Denys S. | What actually worries me is that most people have the Update Software button. And that I shouldn't be going through all this just to get it updated. :) | |
