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?
Hello,
I recently upgraded my SGS4 (i9505) to the official 4.3 and then I flashed Golden Eye ROM v.14 on top of it. I came across a strange issue though that it's not that disturbing but I wonder if anyone has any suggestions.
I installed Kies3 and after a restart my phone got recognised by the computer an everything works fine. However the problem is that everytime I connect my phone, I need to restart the computer in order for it to pick it up. Otherwise it wont appear anywhere. I'm running Windows 8.1 and needless to say, it was working fine on Windows 7.
Any suggestions to this? Thanks in advance.
As far as I know it's not phone related.. I had previously a Sony Xperia S and my win 8 PC was just crashing when I create a new folder then when I got the S4 it continued crashing when I create a new folder.. I read somewhere here on xda that this problem needs a complicated fix for the PC..
I hope you the best friend and if you found a solution it will be great if you share it..
I am using a Macbook Pro to connect to my AT&T GS4. It is originally NC1. I have flashed GPE 4.4.4 with Safestrap.
Everything works brilliantly except for the one thing that hardly ever worked before I even changed anything on my GS4 - connecting it to my Mac.
AFT is the biggest crock of ****, it literally never works. I was forced to use Kies on my Mac, since AFT doesn't work, ever.
Ever since I flashed GPE the phone connects to my Mac as a Media Device, but in Kies it just stays on "Connecting..." forever.
I am using the USB cable from Samsung. AFT says "Could not connect to device", but AFT didn't even work when it was stock, and Kies did.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Is anyone able to explain why my phone isn't connecting properly?
Is it because I flashed GPE 4.4.4?

All the GPE Roms have it in their OP that USB mount doesnt work.
i wanted to know if i would be able to update my friends GM900F to the newly released Android 5.0 ROM without a computer.
Only reason im doing this is because for some strange reason his phone isnt being recognised but my S5 (GM900H) is. When pluged in it doesnt even say connected as media device on the phone itself. Tried doing all i could, reinstalling drivers and what not even using another laptop on windows 7, and yes USB Debugging is on
he really wants to flash the new ROM badly and doesnt want to wait for an OTA,
I was wondering if in theory i could get it to work by rooting his phone with towelroot, installing Mobile Odin and then flashing the Firmware?
if it fails and is soft bricked i dont know how to go about fixing it cause it just wont recognise the device at all or install drivers, but my S5 (GM900H) gets recognised fine.
Has anyone ever used Mobile Odin to flash a whole new firmware?
any tips
Wait for first custom Roms and flash via recovery. [emoji52]

Hello all,
I need to help a friend with his Note 4 N910W. The devices has some software issues but has a bad USB. Can not be flashed with Odin.
Already replaced the complete Charging port Flex/Module but still not connecting to PC for data. It doesn't also fast charge as I believe it uses the data pin to detect the charger plugged in.
I have tried rooting without pc then flashing a custom rom but can't find a rooting method.
Can anyone help or point to where a can get a ROM/FIRMWARE which is signed and can flash via the Stock Android Recovery cos I think it's the only next thing that can work.
Thanks.
