Samsung

[SamsungWave123]

Hi everyone,

I purchased a Samsung Wave just over a year and a half ago and I still can't upgrade my Bada OS from 1.0 to 1.2 or 2.0 through Kies. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Kies software multiple times, after cleaning the registry multiple times, and after fully updating the Kies software to its latest version. My Kies software recognises the phone but i still keep getting this error message:

"Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."

I have searched around the internet, and the S8500's Bada software is due for an upgrade in the UK, how can I get a software upgrade?

Your best bet is to take your phone to a Samsung Service Centre and request the Firmware is upgraded.

This should be done free of charge under Warranty.

If you pm me your email address, I will send you all the info, on upgrading to bada 2.0 via samsung kies, it is very easy to do, and will take less than 30mins todo.

Then you can use kies for any future upgrades and updates, it also debrands your phone i.e removing all the vodafone bloatware, that vodafone insist on putting on all there phones. with this removed your phone will be faster and no restrictions on it.

I have done 12 of these phones last week for people, I do not charge anything at all.
