Im having major difficulty keeping my phone connected for the 2.2 update. Here's the history:
I had FR008 on my phone and downloaded the stock 2.1 and was able to get back to stock 2.1 via the bootloader no problem.
Now I download the HTC 2.2 off their website and follow the instructions and it wont work. The phone wont stay connected.
Running the 2.2 update via the bootloader as I did 2.1 doesn't work (PC can't find phone) and HTC says to do it with the phone on and HTC Sync installed.
If I connect in HTC Sync Mode It connects fine! I can sync. Stays connected with no trouble, but as soon as I try to run the RUU it disconnects my phone and reports a connection error and will not continue. Sometimes if I try to connect half way through the RUU discovery process it says that the battery is less than 30% but it is at 100% and will not continue.
If I connect as a disk drive, It connects just fine. I can search my SD card via the PC, but when I run the RUU it disconnects the phone and says it has a connection error and will not continue.
Before anyone says "Why are you even bothering with stock 2.2" well I need to sell the phone and I want it stock.
any help would be appreciated.
Boot into the bootloader, go to fastboot, plug your phone in, and try running the ruu.

why are you even bothering with stock 2.2 if you already have FR008?had to do it since you added that gay disclaimer
also, maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't do that.

If you already have it back to stock 2.1, I would sell it like that because it would be rootable to a potential buyer. If you install the stock 2.2, the phone will not be able to regain root and it would be far less appealing to a potential buyer IMO.
Well I guess I should say...I might sell the phone. My wife uses it, but recently bought an Atrix...but doesn't like it much. She really likes the aria for the size. We both think that the stock 2.1 ran better than fr008 or cyanogen. The proximity sensor problem seems to be much worse with those roms.
We were going to try 2.2 to see if the proximity sensor problem was improved at all. If not we would sell it. Probably will sell it anyway, either way it needs to go back to stock.

Didn't work by running the RUU in the fasboot. Won't connect. But the drivers are confirmed to be working. They connect just fine in every other case and show up properly in the Device Manager.

Having a small issue here. I just picked up a Juno (Tmo branded). Its completely stock, no 3rd party apps.
Anyway I'm trying to flash a new rom (clean rom, 6.1 rom..ect). When I start the flasher, it gets to 2% then fails. The phone reboots and operates normally. I get a error message on the computer telling me there is a problem flashing.
Im running vista sp1 on my macbook. I also tried this on a dell laptop (xp s2), same problems.
BTW: Software Ver on the phone: 1.03.531.4
did you CID unlock?
you might need to do that first so that you can run the Upgrade
Yea I'm pretty sure I CID unlocked it. Maybe I ran it a few times too many, I'm not sure.
I did get it to work. What I did was upgrade the "Official" FW first. I went to the tmobile upgrade site and got the updater from them and updated. That went fine, but it was still tmo branded fw.
The I ran jumpspl.exe, I guess that unlocked it. The unit rebooted but the screen remained off. I then ran the Clean Rom flasher and it worked. The progress bar never appeared on the device but it was on the computer and went up to 100%, device rebooted a few times, took a while each time as it did. Finally I had a usable phone
run jump spl then you upgrade your rom.
Hey guys,
I'm about ready to throw a brick through a window at Samsung's Headquarters, so I'm sure this will make an excellent first post.
Earlier today, my dad decided to update is rooted phone via a T-Mobile update sent out via the internet to the latest J16 firmware. Not surprisingly, his phone was one of many to get soft bricked. From this point I used ODIN to flash back to J15 and then used it again to upgrade to J16. Now, the phone boots normally, but it still seems to have ROM manager and other root applications on its hard drive despite the fact that ODIN should have wiped out all of the packages.
This coupled with the fact that I have failed to re-root the device and USB connectivity is awful compared to J15, I decided to try and flash back to J15 using ODIN. Only this time, when I get the device into download mode it isn't recognized properly as a USB device by my computer; therefore, ODIN won't recognize it either.
My dad is about ready to take the phone to T-Mobile in hopes of getting a new device, but before he attempts this I'm wondering if there are any solutions to my problems that A) Fix USB connectivity in download mode or B) Allow me to whipe all data and revert to J15 in some other manner.
Help would be appreciated!

First and foremost make sure your plugging the usb into a usb port that is connected directly to the motherboard. Should stablize the usb connection. ( I had the same issue) Second flash to JFD via odin, then you want to upgrade to J16 via the vibrant version of kies mini. OTA update is not the greatest.
The JI5/6 updates don't wipe all data and apps, as they were designed to be OTA updates and not complete new installs. Can't have people complaining that an update wiped their entire phone, right? Stock JFD is a full flash which wipes all user data.
And yes, try to have it plugged directly into the motherboard's USB ports, make sure the contacts on the microUSB aren't corroded, and try deleting the Vibrant drivers and reinstalling them.
which version of odin you using? try 1.3 if not already
Kies or ODin
Nevermind I found it here ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=341559
All you hace to do is go to USB settings and with the OTA update for J16, there's an option to choose "Ask what to connect" either samsung kies, mass storage, etc. Happen to me, did unroot, factory reset and there you go, just need to go to that stupid settings.
Okay here is the run down...
I bought a rooted vibrant phone with Froyo2.2 installed already off ebay.
I just received the phone today so I used Odin to flash back everything to the original firmware and roms, so that I can unlock my phone.
As apparently, you it has not been tested on froyo2.2 and I did not want to try it. Everything worked well, and it flashed back succesfully according to Odin.
I have all the firmware from Samsung downloaded and installed. Now I am trying to Unlock my phone using the downloaded 1 click script that is available on the forums on this site. But it is giving me an error when i run it.
*It says "server not running"* Error: Unable to find file
I seem not to be able to connect my device using the massage storage with USB...
I am not sure if that is the reason... I can connect through the PC Route way... But I am pretty sure you need to do it through the massage storage. I tried turning both on and off the Debuggage mode, but still dident work.
Any ideas or thoughts?
The phone did not come with the original sim card from Tmobile... So there is no Sim card inside the phone.
Does this make a difference?
Any help would be awesome...
Thanks in Advance!
Hi,
I am attempting the Froyo update on Vibrant through Kies Mini following the T-Mobile Instructions at the following location provuded by twitter account galaxyssupport
I am able to download and install Kies Mini successfully. The drivers seems to be correctly installed because Windows 7 or Windows Vista is able recognize the device. At Stage 3 as instructed I open Kies Mini. It asks me to connect my Vibrant to the computer. I complete this step and that is it. Kies Mini is not able to recognize that the Vibrant has been plugged into the computer though Windows is able to.
I tried this on three different laptops Windows 7 64 Bit and 2 different Windows Vista 32-bit. All to the same result. After going through some of the forums, I set the USB debugging mode on on my Vibrant and connected the device to the computer. On all the three laptops the Kies Mini Crashed with the following error "MiniApplication Launcher has stopped Working".
BTW I even tried by removing my SD card as some forums suggest. No luck
Anyone who has gone though similar troubles and could come up with a solution to get Froyo on Vibrant.
I called T-Mobile they said it is Samsung's problem and then I called Samsung. The CSR who picked up the call asked me few mundane questions some of them same questions repeatedly. Then she said she will connect me to an high level support and WOW that Number does not work and the call ended with the message "EXITING THE SYSTEM" !!!! Samsung and T-Mobile is a dead end now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
TMax
Mini Kies wont recognize it with USB Debug on...it has to be off and try running it as administrator, with the stock TWLauncher..not LauncherPro, Zeam, or anything like that or you'll get a "Need idle screen warning" if your using one of those.
I'm having the same issue... i've did a factory reset... removed sd card... tried debug on and off... Still nothing. keeps showing "Unregistered Device"
You could just learn ODIN (not hard) and ODIN to this.

That'll be the same as getting it via mini kies.

I have "Unregistered Device" issue, it seems like all the exchanged/refurbished units cannot be updated for now.

what would that have to do with anything?
Damn, I have the same problem here.
Using TWLauncher (cleared Zeam defaults), not on debug mode...
I had the same problem. I was using a very thin gage usb cable. I then switched to a heavy gage cable and it worked just fine. Give that a shot.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm using the original cable. Got back to home (TW Launcher) and it worked.
I've spent a bunch of time on the phone with T-Mobile and Samsung; 7 hours. I believe the issue is with the KA2 update that was released a couple of days before the KA6. Neither Level 3 reps knew anything about it and kept referencing JI6. Used both Mini Kies received an unregistered device error (I registered my device through Samsung) and used the full version of Kies 1.5.1.1 and it said my firmware version was not available for an update. Use Odin it works and took about 5 to 10 minutes and I didn't lose my user preferences, apps, contacts, etc. Everything works great even GPS.
Ahhh
I am not a techy in any sense of the word so I have been waiting for the official release of 2.2 instead of rooting, because I'm scared ******** to try it. Now release date rolls around, finally, and I can't seem to get it to work. I am having the same issue, well first it was the 16 character file extension issue, but now it is this. My phone is plugged in, Kies is up and running, in my computer it shows my phone, by name, but no update. I have NO idea what so ever what usb "debugging," "touchwiz," or anything of the sort. Hell I am proud of myself for knowing what rooting is. Is there anyone who can help me get froyo on my phone?
Ok so first of all, im using Mac OS and my Evo is 2.2. I went to unrevoked site got the new unrevoked 3, got my phone and turned the usb debugging on, turned on the unrevoked and left my phone on the charge only. As soon as that thing started to work "root" the message on my phone popped up :: Sorry! the application Zysploit (process com.unrevoked.zysploit) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. ..... Then it reboots the phone and on the unrevoked 3 program it asked me if i have too new of the firmware. I have tried switching to disk and it didnt work. I tried reinstalling the unrevoked still same crap... What can i do to fix this problem?!?
hmmm.... make sure you have ne newest unrevoked. also check to see what software version you have. if you are on an older firmware than 3.70, you need to upgrade before it will work.
3.70 version on unrevoked? if thats the case im on 3.32 i got it from their site. How do i get the new v?
no phone software. unrevoked doesnt work with old coincidentially bcuz the new security added new exploits as well.
