Hello haven't used kies for ages now but if you've upgraded on their you have probably downloaded and installed a whole new rom thus you have lost root access. Look up on the forum the best way to root your current rom. All the best.

kies installs stock rooms with the kernals, you need to reroot your phone or use a rooted kernal like siyah which will root your phone.

Hey,

What's happened is now you've upgraded you have stock kernel without root access. Simply flash a custom kernel or CF-Root kernel and you'll have root access again
