I finally got my epic to update both the firmware and modem to DI18. Along the way I installed clockworkmod rom manager, busy box, and had to re-root. Now my phone's power button will not put the phone to sleep unless the phone is on the lock screen. Can anyone tell me what may have happened and how I could fix it? Thanks.
My market died too. I don't understand where all these issues are coming from because I am running stock rooted.
I did a restore and narrowed it down to the full DI18 update wrecking it. But now i'm back with DG17 firmware and DI18 Radio...
Fixed.
this USE Clockworkmod

Then use odin and this file in the phone portion.

Then this USE Clockworkmod

Be patient, it got stuck at the Galaxy S screen for 5 minutes.
Then you have to re-root.
And now I'm fully updated with my market and sleep button working.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE OTA WORK AGAIN? My phone keeps reporting there are no updates, even when I was at DG07.
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.

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.
finally upgraded from DI01 to ED01 and have discovered a problem. the 4 buttons on the bottom of the screen now act weird. they will light up, go out, or flicker depending on what im doing. never had this problem before and i havent seen anyone else post about it but i could have missed it. anyone have any idea?
Did you update stock di01 to stock ed01 or between custom roms?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
no, i tried the OTA update several times with the end result being the server IP error. unrooted and tried again several times with the same results. then i followed the link in another post and flashed with odin, the DL09. tried again several times to get the OTA update with no success. had to flash that several times and then finally got it to install. as it sits i am running ED01 stock but rooted. my wifes phone had had all the OTA updates and has always run stock, not even root and has some problems with the buttons as well.
try reflashing a kernel... i only dealt with that problem once a while back and i just reflashed everything and that seemed to fix it.
Also i used to restore system files from titanium backup and sometimes it didn't play nice with whatever i upgraded to and that would cause the backlights to bug out before i got force close messages.
Hi All,
I tried searching of a similar topic, but couldn't find it. I'm hoping I did something simple to correct.
I was initially on GoldenEye 24, and everything was running fine. I decided I wanted to update my modem to NC1 so I could run the MapleLeaf rom. I kept trying to use odin to install the modem and it would look like it was working but it didn't. I then decided to install the stock rom and then reinstall a recovery after and so on. So I downloaded the stock rom, I ran odin and got to about 92% and it failed it happened quite a few times as I tried redownloading the rom, and different usb ports, and different versions of Odin, but same result.
So then I decided forget it, I'll just return to GE. Now when I reinstalled GE, I saw that the baseband was in fact NC1. I thought, strange, but cool! But now, my phone seems really borked. Its definitely slower and if the screen turns off and I hit either power button or home, nothing happens. I mean the screen just stays off. If I keep pressing buttons a few times and nothing happens, sometimes the screen will show the lock screen and i'll try and swipe, but its as if it doesn't register the swipe and it'll shut off again. Then I'm stuck with a off screen again.
So I've tried running GE and ML roms again, but after the setup it seems to be the same result with a sluggish phone that wake up.
Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to give a picture of what I've done and perhaps someone can assist me.
Thanks,
ck
Odin...

odin that you are using?
Hi Guys,
Not sure if I boogered something up, or if I'm having an actual hardware issue. All my important stuff is backed-up elsewhere, so not worried about whats on the phone right now, just need to get it up and running again.
I have Philz 6.41.6, and CWM 6.0.4.8. I can get into recovery, and I can get into download mode no problem. Phone will connect with Odin, and I can flash apparently flash without issue. Do have an EFS backup as well.
When I restore a known-good cwm backup, or attempt to install a new ROM (been using xXx ROM with no issue prior), the OS will boot up, but the screen will occasionally flicker, or blackout and not come back. Side buttons respond (vibration). It comes back sometimes, but lags quite a bit. I get a constant "No Service", and it never connects. I can press the home button, but the menu/back buttons just flash.
Tried flashing BL and modem via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52210611 , just to make sure they were good, but no change in behavior.
Read through several topics... Not sure what to try next...
Should I attempt to flash back to stock? Or? I'm comfortable installing, editing, flashing, etc, did it a long time with my old Atrix. Still new to the S5 though, its a bit of a different animal.
I sure would appreciate any suggestions, advice, or instruction.
Thanks All,
Keto
I would definitely try flashing a pure stock ROM thru Odin just to make sure it's not a software issue. Though the issues you describe sound ominous...
Flash stock from sammobile, boot into stock recovery, factory reset
See if it behaves itself after that and go from there
Thanks guys.
I flashed the stock ROM, and did a factory reset. Still misbehaving. I noticed the phone getting pretty darn warm on the back, so, shut it down for a while. When cooled down, it behaves quite well, BUT soon as I load it with anything 'intensive' for a little while, it gets hot. and starts wig'n out again.
Seems like there are some hardware issues, unless you guys have other ideas?
Use KIES and go to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery.
Give it a try
