Upgrade from kies not working - Vibrant General

for some reason, i can connect to kies with no problem, but when i go to upgrade the firmware to the newest JI6 official, it fails and shows the attached picture. any ideas? I need to get this update because my vibrant is acting up pretty ba and as far as I know, this is the only current fix. I dont want to use the samfirmwares.com version because I want the official version. Help!

What version of Kies are you on? I'm on 1.5.1 and I never see an update. Maybe 1.5.3 can see the update?

Just updated mine about an hour ago through kies. Worked fine.
Kies Version: 1.5.1
Prior Rom: Bionix 1.4
Kernel: Stock

im on 1.5.3 and it still wont work, i just tried it again. I tried rebooting the pone and computer and still nothing worked. it just keeps saying unable to update. when you installed kies, did you install it as the UK as your country or US?

Mine says "PC Connection only available in idle screen Close running applications" when I try to connect with Samsung Kies mode???? What am I doing wrong?

Back out of everything on the phone, make sure you are in Kies mode. Run Kies first, then connect phone.
I have yet to see on the forum where somebody went from the JI5 from Kies to JI6 either OTA or through Kies. I've tried 1.5.1 and 1.5.3.81 for Kies and neither will update my phone.

Updating through Kies right now. I had to do the regedit fix for Kies 1.5.3.
EDIT: Whew, phone isn't bricked. Just made it past the Vibrant screen.

is it possible that kies may brick the phone?

How long is the Kies update taking for you guys? I'm pretty sure I'm hung up. It made it through the downloading, and now it's about a 1/4 of the way through the upgrade bar, but hasn't moved for an hour and a half.
I am totally stock. No mods, no nothing.

that's not good. if i'm in your condition maybe i'm already sweating. maybe just wait a little more.
i tried to do this but the kies hung up when it's copying my contacts.

Well, it's not gonna do me any good to sweat. I'm over two hours now of just watching it sit there 25% done. No movement at all, computer's cpu is at 0% use. I think I have to pull the plug and then call Tmob if the phone is messed up.
Just to be clear, I was 100% stock, no root, no fixes, nothing other than apps installed from the marketplace. Here goes nothing...

what happened? me too, i unplugged my phone before anything goes wrong.

ive made the backup of my contacts, but after that it cant continue to update, it fails every time, i guess i am stuck waiting for the ota unless someone has a fix for kies

My phone now only shows an image of a mobile phone and a desktop with a caution sign in between them. The same image shows if I restart using the power button, pull the battery, shake it vigorously, etc. I do believe I am now the proud owner of a non-functioning phone. Kies will not recognize it, nor does windows recognize it when it is plugged in. Crap.
I guess I'm off to the T-mobile store to try and get a replacement.

im in same boat i have no clue what im doing wrong? im i missing steps here?
if has any idea what i need to please help.
im a bone stock

Well, I'm pretty sure that we are now lacking functioning firmware on the phone. I'm thinking a new phone is the way to go, but maybe they can do something at the store.

Anyone where the update is stuck, you will probably have a soft brick at this point. However, this does not mean your phone is broken completely, it just means you will probably have to get into Download Mode and Flash via Odin.
Have fun

that was my experience using kies too (whether 1.5.1 or 1.5.3). since then, i've used odin (v1.3) about 6 times (not a lot, i know) with all successes. don't let it scare you.
to get into download mode just do the following.
1) pull battery then put it back in so the phone is completely off
2) disconnect usb from phone (but leave it connected to pc)
3) while holding down volume up and down buttons together, insert usb cable
that should take you straight to download mode.
then load up odin (check the bible for flash instructions -- pretty simple though). what i did was flash to JFD, then flashed to JI5. worked like a charm.
honestly, kies was a nightmare to get working and once it did, it messed up. odin has been simple and painless. one note, after flashing with odin, first boot may be slow. when i flashed JI6 OTA over JI6 leaked, it took about 10 minutes, at least, to boot.
good luck!

I know it's not helping you guys: but my Kies update (newest release) was smooth sailings after I did the registry fix.
I did none of the backups suggested (I tried so many times before so they were already done this time)
Let me know if you want details about my config.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, but I did make judicious use of the search button and google before I took it back to the store. I tried every single combination of button presses for every single mode, from every single forums posts I could find. No luck at all. The T-mob guys also had no luck, and it just so happened that a Samsung rep stopped by to see how the Vibrant was being received by the public and he couldn't get any recovery mode to work either. (He had no idea about when Froyo might be out though..... just in case you were wondering) Anyhow, I'm pretty sure that I for one believe in the myth of the hardware locked Vibrants.

(New After JK4 Froyo) POLL:Bell I9000M Internal SD Failures

I think we need a new Poll for anyone that needs to change their answer after upgrading to JK4...Perhaps give JK4 a few days to make sure it's running smoothly before voting...
(Thanks Electroz for the original Poll!)
I got to experience 5 minutes of froyo before multiple force closes and then dead. It went into a reboot loop never getting past the white i9000m logo.
Updated with Kies (latest version--no registry mod)
I was stock JH2.
No lagfix ever installed
I've never flashed any rom.
Sorry guys, Kies is not safer...
Now I have to convince Bell to honor the warranty...
I don't think there are any issues with Kies or Odin for flashing. I've flashed many times, sometimes 4 times in one day and I've never had any issues. There does seem to be the usual SD issues but I also think there is a USB communications issue. There have been many reports of data corruption while writing to internal/external SD with large files. I personally had an issue pulling large files off of internal/external SD. I think if this problem occurs while flashing new firmware it could cause some corruption that could be noticeable right away or after a bit of use. The partitioning on this device seems to be more sensitive than others and a hiccup while flashing could cause some major issues.

They don't care.
I went today and they just took it and didn't ask anything that sounds like they cared about if I am not with Bells.
I gave them my bro's phone number and info since he is with Bell, just to avoid any problems.
Just don't say something like the phone is "unlocked" lol...the phone is dead so they won't find out anyways if you don't tell them. They won't ask either.
Just tell them that you upgraded through kies and it got the problem.
it's a hardware defect, if it dies it dies
after all the evidence we've seen (all the reports by our members)
if it's good it will work regardless of what firmware you use, and regardless of the way you flash the firmware
the lag fixes and froyo just accelerates the problem and makes it more evident sooner than later
which is good in a way, it's better to find out before your warranty runs out
ok im pretty sure mine is a full brick. maybe you can tell me.
less than 24 hours after updating to 2.2 i started getting all of these errors in various programs, so i rebooted the phone, but after it plays the little intro thingy the screen just goes black and thats it. cant do anything else. i tried a factory reset and still the same thing. so is that it?
also. i bought this phone at best buy, but network unlocked it to use on rogers. should i be contacting samsung directly about a replacement/fix? anyone here done that? im REALLY scared that are gonna give me a phone that i am unable to network unlock.
thanks for any info.
some one welcome me to the club of defund Bell Internal SD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867157
@evil-doer
I am in the exact same boat as you! I bought from Best Buy, then unlocked to use on Rogers. Last night, I updated to official Froyo through Kies, and then it just died on me today (many app force closes and then just drop dead). When I get into recovery mode, it says can't mount the SD card.
I think I will just go to a Bell Store tomorrow and see what happens. I will let you know how it goes. Please let me know how yours go too. Thanks.
Mines a goner too
Same issue, have a forced app closure, shut the phone off and it wouldn't start up anymore. Just flashes the Galaxy S GT-I9000M white logo non-stop now.
I can put it into download mode and load up 2.1 (stock) and get to the coloured Galaxy S logo, but then it just goes to a black screen. In recovery mode, it shows stuff about not being able to mount the SD on E:\. I'd assume that's the internal flash?
Luckily I haven't had it for >30 days (on Virgin Mobile) so I'm hoping I can just exchange it and be on my way. I have to call them though apparently since I bought it online.
i did not have Force Close, the phone just got really really hot during batch restore of TitaniumBackup

how did you load up 2.1? i can put my phone in download mode but nothing happens after that. and how do you get in to recovery mode?
Well I can load up 2.1 with Odin and with the auto reboot option checked, it'll go straight to recovery mode after flashing (for whatever reason). Otherwise I can't get to recovery mode.
Success so far... 12 hours after upgrade.
I sucessfully upgraded to Froyo yesterday.
I had problems with Kies at first and had to do a factory reset before the upgrade. The FileSearcherforKiesFix.exe altough it detected two bad files wasn't enough to make Kies happy.
This phone was bought in october and had the voodoo lagfix installed from the begining. I disabled the lagfix before the froyo upgrade.
My previous samsung phone; the GT-8000 (Omnia II) did have an internal SD card failure after a few months of operation... Also a Bell phone. I'm really concerned by that trend with Samsung and Bell...
I recommend NOT to upgrade. With JH2 I had NO problems. I upgraded to JK4 and about 24 hours later (this morning) I started getting force closes. XDA App. wouldn't open and just scrolling through memory management gave me haptic feedback (even though I had it disabled) and random closes. The phone became unusable fast. I tried a reboot and the phone booted to a black screen where only the buttons lit up. I went into recovery mode and I saw some dbdata error. I figured my phone was a goner. I ended up formatting the internal memory, clearing cache and then doing a factory reset. The phone is up and running now...but for how long.
Well... you're going to have upgrade eventually so best to do it now while you are under warranty in case something happens...

How's that the case?
Stock JG9 w/ OCLF -> Stock JH2 (kies,voodoo lagfix) -> JK3 (Odin, Speedmod kernel w/ tweaks flashed through odin to get 2e back, no lagfix) -> JK4 (hacked kies, speedmod kernel w/ tweaks flashed through odin to get 2e back, no lagfix)
No SD failure so far, touch wood. Original phone purchased day after launch.
Mine died today, started getting FC and then the whole thing froze. I tried restarting it but after the samsung splash screen all I had were glowing buttons.
It ran fine for about a day on JK4 before that on JH2 it never gave any problems.
BTW it was stock updated through Kies.
The guy at the Bell store told me they never get these phones returned, this was a first for him. Either it was his first day on the job or it's typical Bell BS.
Just had my second phone die. The first one died after 28 days with no upgrade. This one after 8 days, 2 days after upgrading to Froyo...
Same thing happened to me this morning.. Froyo was working fine for just over a day and then this morning I turn on my phone, get a bunch of FCs.. I reboot.. get another bunch of FCs.. reboot.. and now it won't go through the "S" splash screen. When the screen disappears I press the buttons and it just glows..
I don't know if it's bricked or what.. when I run recovery I get this error.
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkOp1 (I/O Error)
E: Copy_dbdata_media:can't mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
Is this what everyone else is getting? And what are my alternatives?
If my phone is pooched then I'll be pretty pissed since this is my 3rd SGS, I gave the SGS up when it had issues in low reception and the 850 band lock fixed it. If this totally pooches my phone I'm never buying another Samsung mobile product again.

Please help me: Corrupt TMO Tab

Hello,
Please Help!! My stock (firmware but rooted) TMO Tab started locking up and then progressed into constant reboots, lockups and semi hard resets (I lose all screens and they are back to stock, email accounts are gone in stock client, but apps are still there and a lot of other information is still there like wifi, bluetooth setting/devices etc.) Also, sometimes, the device hangs on the Samsung logo on boot up and I have to power down holding the button for 10 seconds and then turn back on..
It is almost like I got a virus. I did a hard reset the other night, went to bed with about 80% battery and it was completely dead in the morning. Last night went to bed with 91% and it was dead in the AM. Something is wrong and draining my battery.
Tmo is not standing behind their product because I bought it without a contract and said Samsung would either refund me or send me a new one(which I knew it couldn't be right), and it wasn't. They said send it in for 10-14 days and they will send me a working model.
So given all the problems I am having which seem to be software related, which software should I install? Something I won't have problems with or will still allow me to accept future Tmo updates if needed or wanted.
Also I am upset over the email limit(one month unlike the VZ version etc) on the stock email client so a Euro version would be fine if it had that feature and I also am not using the Tmo network so a disabled 3G network for data is not a problem.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Best,
BC
Please help me...
Update: My Tab was stuck on the Samsung logo for the longest time this morning(like 3 hours). I did the volume up/power button and wiped but still was stuck. It finally booted up but I am sure it is going to lock up and I will have to go through the same thing hoping to get it to boot up.
What could've caused it? What should I do while i have it on? Should I update to the Euro software and if so, which one? There are so many choices and not sure which one to do. Also, would I be able to go back to the stock tmobile s/w if I can return it for a replacement?
One thing that i noticed in the apps is a folder called error 1.0.0 but I cannot uninstall it. Is this normal and does anyone else have it? The other thing is that I still have the same memory available as when I had all my apps, email etc in it. Like it didn't really erase everything.
Please help and point me in the right direction. I have been scouring the net for 4 hours now and I don't know which way to go.
Thank you,
BC
Perhaps you poked around in the files system and accidently removed something? I would go to the Roto Stock firmware package thread, and flash that to repair a corrupt file system. Only a guess on my part, but it won't do any harm.
Well I suppose but I don't recall messing around with anything. I was hoping that while I had to change or repair my software, I should put the best on that there is to offer.
What software do you use or recommend?
Thanks for the reply! This is driving me crazy! I have had to turn off and back on at least 15 times today trying to get it to work amd habe wiped like 5 times.
Do you think I should just try and get a replacement from tmobile?
Thanks,
Brian
Woah, slow down partner. Make a Titanium Backup to the external sd card then remove it. Flash Rotohammers stock T Mobile firmware. Reroot with SuperOneCLick. Reinsert the external SD and reinstate your apps with Titanium. If things are still wonky after that then it's probably a hardware problem.
EDIT: I'd flash using Odin 1.7. It's just easier than Heimdall to me. Personal preference I suppose.

I did the backup and reinstalled after one of the wipes but it keeps locking up and not booting up. I haven't had it on 1 time successfully yet today and it past 10PM...
The main reason I would like a different firmware is because I want the full functionality of the email client like in some of the other tabs and android devices.
Tmobile and i don't know who else (I read ATT) crippled the email and it doesn't have the option to have all email on the device which is great for short trips without the laptop.
What about some of Roto's other firmwares? Like i said previously, I am not using Tmobiles data or service so it doesn't matter. I also read that the browser and overall was really smooth.
Is it ok to root with z4root? I have the app on my sd card and that is how i've done it before.
Thanks for your suggestions and i appreciate all feedback. I have to do something because this device has become a paperweight.
Thank you,

hey dude you sound nervous as hell man, relax. as long as you can get your phone in to download mode. you will be ok. flash rotos tmobile stock firmware. if it works hooray! if not flash rotos jme 4
Still out of commission
I am not nervous, just annoyed as hell.
I flashed the stock tmobile firmware, booted it up and it crashed after about 10 minutes and I am back stuck on the samsung logo. I haven't been able to get it to boot up for about 5-6 days. I have wiped many times and no dice.
Should I wipe cache partition? Try the JME software?
Thanks for your help!

Fascinate Facebook Sync errors

My roommate just got a new Fascinate. I have been trying to get it to sync with Facebook but I get multiple errors. At first it can't login, when I finally get that to work it says it says sync is unavailable. I've seen solutions to this but nothing works or is recent.
I convinced him to get an Android over an IPhone and he is ready to return it. Any ideas?
Edit: He will not root. I am going to try a hard reset tomorrow, but this seems to be a problem with the Galaxy S devices from what I have read in the last few hours.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Rooting would not help this issue, unfortunately. As far as I know, there hasn't ever been a known fix for this issue. It typically resolves itself within a couple days. Keep in mind that you can always install the Facebook app, and it will sync fine. It just won't sync the Facebook contacts. Once the SNS sync works out its attitude issues, FB contact syncing will work too. Tell him to give it a little time.
So would a hard reset be worth it at all?
I've had mine for a month. The Feeds and updates widget started having issues last week, I think on the 27th. It had worked fine before that. Since then it has been on and off.
You can install the official Facebook app for Android. It looks like it works correctly.
Doubtful. This same problem happened to me after I got a warranty replacement Fascinate. I tried everything, but nothing worked, so I gave up for a while. A few days later, I tried again, and then it synced without any problem.
Btw, the official Samsung Froyo upgrade was just leaked this morning. I can't guarantee that it will fix this issue, but it's worth a shot, and there are other benefits as well. It appears that it's been packaged so that it's installable using the stock recovery, so you shouldn't need to root in order to install it. However, the phone will be rooted as part of the install. You can download it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937237
Just download that zip file to the phone's SD card, boot into recovery (hold power button + volume up + volume down from a powered off state) and flash it from there. Just FYI, if the concern with rooting is about warranty, we have methods of returning the phone to a 100% stock configuration in case you have to do a return or something, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
I would have to sneak it by him. I have flashed more roms than I can count on my N1 so I am definitely capable. What are the chances of bricking?
Edit: It looks like I can sneak it by after reading the thread fully. I need to do some research first. I am way too broke to brick a phone.
Thanks for your help btw.
It's almost impossible to brick this phone. As long as you can get into download mode and link it to the ODIN app on your PC, you can restore to full stock configuration. The best ODIN restore to use, should it come to that, is Adrynalyne's complete DI01 restore. It restores the ROM, kernel, radio, and recovery all to bone stock DI05 build. Just make sure that anything you flash from ODIN is done using the PDA button, NOT the Phone button. Using the Phone button will nuke the radio to an unrecoverable state.
I think I've figured it out now. Thanks for your help.

Stuck in bootloop after un-installing Flipboard

I'm usually fairly good at troubleshooting my own stuff but this really has me stuck in the same place for a few hours now.
So basically Flipboard has been nagging me(well play store is, not the app itself but anyway) so I said to myself why don't I uninstall it since I've never used it and don't plan to, and besides I hate to have pointless apps installed. So I open TitaniumBackup and I see it is installed as a system app, I thought what's the worst that can happen? so I do uninstall it and a minute later my phone shuts off. I try to turn it on and it doesn't go past the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 flash screen, it either reboots or stays like that.
I try to go into recovery to restore a backup and I can't, it is stuck at Recovery Booting and again it either stays like that or reboots and does it again and again and again.
Now, I haven't made any changes or installs on my phone for weeks now, so this is either because I unistalled Flipboard(I know I shouldn't have risked it since it was a system app but I really could not see it going this way) or the hardware is on it's way out(don't see what else could it be).
I figured I should flash a stock rom with odin, I can get into download mode, and reinstall everything from scratch.
I took a stock image from xda and flashed it and it does exactly the same thing.
Right now I'm downloading another stock image from sammobile for my country/provider to see if this will change anything.
What else can I try? I'm completely stuck and I really don't want to send the phone back like this, I doubt amazon is gonna be happy about it.
Specs:
N910F
Emotion Revolution 12.1 Rom
POK1 BL&CP
TWRP 2.8.7.0
Really sorry for the double-post. I'm quite desperate and need my phone for work.
Since last post I've tried flashing N910FXXU1COH4_N910FH3G1COH3_H3G.zip through Odin from SamMobile and it did the same thing with rebooting constantly.
Then I've installed Kies and went to Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation and gave it the model and S/N and it downloaded something and everything went all right, the phone reboots and I'm back in the same circle, it just shows me the splash screen(in some video's I've seen that after this procedure they get the splash screen and then the android bot with a progress bar, I don't get that, I only get the splash screen and reboot) and reboots.
I thought this was a last resort thing? Is the phone completely dead or is there something I can try?
Again sorry for the double-post.
Update: still no progress so I've contacted Amazon and they said to send it back so hopefully this works out in the end, no matter how annoying the waiting time will be, if you do have any suggestions on what I should try please let me know as I haven't posted the phone yet.

This should be normal because MarshMallow was just released so its buggy for everyone ?
exact same problems that i'm having. the phone has become unusable. i have flashed 5.01 and its working again, but now...google didn't even load my old apps. so i have a totally fresh phone,,,which is a p-is take. at least its working. i'll try 5.1.1 when i download it.
i sat and messed about for a few hours and it working mostly ive managed to get the apps updated and seems alot more stable still get the odd lag and slow load on apps but it's not usable i think my main probelm was the apps once they updated "which they where stuck on" its seems to have sorted a few of the issue's

i have tried to reset the phone 3 times aswell as a fresh install of the firmware 3 times same responce each time my phone seems to be going through stages of working fine not working fine and being unresponsive seems to be the fingerprint scanner crashing alot and also just freezing just typing on the handset
To coatsy101 :
Give it to Samsung authorized service centre. If your phone is under warranty, they will not charge you. No problem if they charge you if your phone is out of warranty. Do not flash any firmware by yourself. It will brick your phone by deleting its IMEI. Beware of this !!!. So give it to the Samsung authorized service centre in your country.

phone is totally mashed. it still freezes and lags , then reboots. works ok for a bit then,,,same thing.
i've never had this happen before. always got fixed by flashing firmware. but this is new to me...tried so many different firmware now...i just cant understand it.
might root and try a custom rom next see if that helps. (
well the closet samsung place is about 3+ hour drive so i wont be doing that. kris 3 is all ive been using to reinstall the marshmellow update and the 3 factory resets ive done ive gave up with it basicaly at work and sit for 5 to 10 minutes waiting for it to unlock somethimes ive disabled thh fingerprint scanner which has helped slightly but still u unuseble my head is battard with it
i've done numerous factory resets and tried different firmwares. it is the same, works for a few minutes then suddenly will freeze and come back after 30 seconds or so...or do a reboot. i've re-partioned nand wipe factory wipe cache wipe .
don't know what else to do. will root and run a custom rom as a last resort before smashing it and throwing it in the bin

I would recommend a factory reset and then a fresh install of the latest Marshmallow DBT (Build Date: May 3)

You have to use Odin 3.10 or 3.11
Turn On Developer Mode on your phone by going to Settings > About Device > Build Number > Tapping Build Number 7 times
Then go back to Settings, you'll see Developer Options now, click it and then check USB debugging
Switch off phone, then hold Volume Down, Home and Power at the same time, it'll ask if you wanna download OS, then press Volume Up
Unzip Marshmallow file, Run Odin on your PC, then connect phone, make sure it registers with Odin, it'll say "Added" means registered
Select the Unzipped Marshmallow file by checking AP and then pressing AP, don't touch anything else, wait for the selected file to be checked, the START at the bottom will be grayed out, but within seconds it will come back again, now press START
This will flash your phone with the selected Marshmallow file, wait until, ODIN says PASS with Green, now you can disconnect, phone will restart automatically.
DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS apart from AP and START when flashing

Well, my phone has been running since last night without the issues from pervious. ?.
I downgraded to 4.4.4...it was still causing issues. ...then upgraded to 5.1.1 COJ3 via ota....and it seems like it's ok again. There is other updates available ota, but I'm sticking with this as looks like i have my phone back. ....working

My screen died this morning...wonder if all the other s.hit was leading up to the screen dying. Phone still booting and led and soft lights come on. But nothing on the screen. Very painful without a phone...
