I'm new here and was wondering if someone with more knowledge than myself could possibly help me. I've been trying all morning to download and upgrade Froyo for my Vibrant through kies mini. It took me awhile before finding out I had to use the TW Launcher to get it working, but after that I got it to download just fine. After it downloads thru kies, my phone gets this little warning sign that says "downloading, do not turn off target!!!" and has a "men at work" kinda symbol with the little android dude shoveling some stuff. And on kies it says it's starting to "upgrade", but after a minute or so of it sitting there doing nothing it goes to another screen that says:
"Result
SGH-T959 could not be upgraded.
1. Detach and reattach the mobile phone's battery.
2. Reboot the mobile phone, and then try the upgrade again.
*if the Mobile phone fails to reboot, please use "mobile phone emergency recovery".
I am able to reboot the phone, I took the battery out after shutting it down and tried again, got it downloaded and the same thing happened again.
I'm at a loss for what to do now. Can anyone please help me?
Thank you in advance!
someone posted this in one of the threads. not sure if this is correct, but you should wait for the OTA update which is "official"
but the thing posted throught t-mobile says "we are not releasing this OTA, you need to d/l thru kies"
Am I missing something???
well i guess a lot of people were misinformed. i personally am not gonna do the update, but you should ODIN back to stock 2.1 JFD or JI6 and go from there. or contact tmobile once you're back to stock.
sorry
I am stock. The only thing I've ever done to it is the JI6 OTA Update.
You can use ODIN
Just extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919687 and put the .tar in the PDA section of ODIN
Make sure you have a COM port showing (yellow)
Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
Hit start

The word on the official T-Mobile forum here, plainly states it will NOT be sent OTA, only through mini Kies. They may have lied, but it would be an official lie.

wouldn't be the first and it damn sure won't be the last...
Forget Kies, Flash the KA6 update through Clockwork Mod instead. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919760
Instructions on how to flash through Clockwork Mod is in the Vibrant Bible here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111

I had the same problem at first - I was upgrading from stock, non-rooted ji6. It just died during the download process and phone would only boot to the black screen of death men at work" kinda symbol with the little android dude shoveling some stuff. I pulled the battery, put it back in, re-connected phone and held down volume up and volume down. I was able to use emergency recovery, the upgrade process completed and I am now on ka6. I guess this is a glitch with kies or maybe kies+ka6 upgrade. I was using XP PRO SP3 but others running Vista and 7 have reported similar problems.
I have also read that there are problems upgrading from jfd and it's recommended to upgrade to ji6 then ka6 if you're going to use kies.
interesting... So when It freezes like that, I shouldn't close out of everything and reboot my phone. I should leave the kies thing up, and use the emergency recovery?
But the consensus seems to be that I should just root and flash a 2.2 rom, eh?
I'm getting almost the same thing on my T959 through Kies Mini, except I never even get to the download, just straight to the detach/reboot instructions. What a waste of time.
Yea. I said screw it... Rooted running Auxura 2.2.7.2 now.... Soooooo sweet!!!

Hi TheBritScott... i dont know why i can't post reply to your thread in "galaxy s2 android development", so i start a thread here, hope u can read it.
Hi,
Originally my phone was from the UK Carphone Warehouse (CPW)
I have upgraded it from 2.2 to 2.3 etc...
The last time I did a firmware upgrade to ICS was a few months back and I didn't have any problem doing it.
After the upgrade, I had a few bugs. I used this file - GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXLPW_I9100OXALPW_I9100XXLPW.tar and the main bugs I have are - The screen won't lock and when I press the Power Button, it will turn the screen off but when I hold it for 1 second the phone closes down.
So today I thought, lets see if I can change my firmware to a CPW version, so I downloaded GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5.tar and installed that. It went through the usual stuff and upon restarting I was getting an "android.core" crash. The screen stops working and after several reboots nothing change. I also booted up and cleared the cache, and this didn't do anything either.
I have just reverted back to the first ICS upgrade but still has not screen lock or when I press the power button for 1 second it closes down.
I wondered if anyone else has had these problems or could recommend to me what may fix it.
I appreciate all help
Thanks

So I think your problem is something wrong with your EFS folder.
1st, you must root your phone, then open market and search for this program "GSII_Repair"(Thanks HELROZ), install it, then open the program after installed>Go to "Repair GSII" tab>Follow those steps (1-2-3)>reboot phone if app need>done
And remember flash ROM without .PIT file and REPARTITION ticked...
Wish u can fix the problem, I had the same problem and Fixed it with this method...
I think you need to have minimum 10 posts before you can post in development sections.
Thanks!!!

i have a uae stock firmware lg p705. recently i connected the phone to lg pc suite and it showed that i had an update(v20b). but when i try to update using lg pc suite or that other lg upgrading software or even kdz....i`m unable to. when the phone starts to update and it changes mode to emergency mode, it gets the yellow emergency screen for about 4 secs then it changes to weird messed up lines. i`ve attached a screenshot of the weird lines screen for reference. please help me i am dying to update my phone from the current v10f which is really laggy and slow.
P.S. i dont know y but it seems there is no OTA update coz its been more than 3 weeks since the latest update and it still hasnt shown up on OTA. PLS HELP ME!
Firstly, the JellyBean update will not be available through OTA , you'll get the notification on your phone but it'll say to connect to a computer to complete the upgrade. For your problem, try putting the phone into emergency mode BEFORE plugging in and use kdz to flash. Use 3GQCT for type and EMERGENCY for PhoneMode. Worth a try. :good: GoodLuck!
EDIT: Also, redownload any kdz file you're flashing, it can be a bad download too!

Oke,
- First download the rom and Odin
- Unpack the rom with 7-zip once
- Unzip and open Odin as administrator
- Enable usb debugging on your phone and turn off the phone
- Pull the battery, wait for 20 seconds and boot into downloadmode
- Place the unpacked rom (.md5.file) in AP section of Odin
- Connect the phone to the pc
- If you see IDCOM light up and show a COM number you are connected
- Uncheck Auto Reboot (upper right corner)
- Press start and flash
- After the flash pull the battery again, wait 20 seconds and boot in to recovery mode and data factory reset and wipe caches and boot up.
- Done
hope this fix my phone but i highly doubt it...

Try this site http://samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware/, select your device and choose the correct rom.
well, i found the file but the page that i download it from has a download speed limitation and the download gonna last for about 10 hours.
So i'll go to sleep for now cause its already midnight ( here in greece ) and ill do this tomorrow morning.
Of course with all those things that happened i dont think that ill be able to sleep.
Im really stressed out. Whatever, ill try the steps that you told me to do and ill send you tomorrow the results.
Hope it get fixed. Goodnight

Hello all!
First of all i want to thank this site (and the people behind it) that makes everything android possible.
I feel privileged to be a member of this forum specially on rough times like what i am facing right now.
I rooted my Galaxy A8-A800i the other day and everything went great. I followed the instructions that i found here. Unfortunately, yesterday i turned off the OEM Unlock on my phone. Now, as the thread title says it. it is stuck on the Logo Screen with the annoying " Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock ". i read a guide that ashyx made and i felt stupid. I didn't know that turning the OEM Unlock will do that to my Phone.
Right now, I am digging deep on this forums to try and revive my phone that is currently in Brick state.
i am downloading a firmware from sammobile for my phone, the problem i have is... i don't know how to use it. I don't know much about my phone but I do want to learn a lot and i know that this is the right place. I would like to ask assistance on how to use the firmware that I am downloading right now, and also, can i make the Knox Counter go "0" again?
Thanks for everything guys. I highly appreciate everything i've learned here so far.

Thank you!... i downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile. but whenever i extract it there's a rar message saying it is corrupted so i DLed a new one, it has the same result. I haven't tried using it to fix my phone but i will try right now. Ill give an update on how it goes.
Tried flashing the new firmware but Odin can't detect my phone. i have the latest Driver for SAMSUNG and i have the latest Odin. I tried restarting my phone and my computer several times but it still fails. i am really frustrated and our of options right now. Even if Odin detects my phone there's no guarantee that the stock firmware will be installed properly since it always shows corrupt when i extract it from zip

Install the Samsung drivers first, reboot your pc.
Start odin in Admin mode then put your device in download mode, plug in the usb cable. Your device should be detected.
Don't try flashing a corrupt firmware, it will be rejected anyway as it will fail the md5 check.
I suggest you use a different browser to download.
@ashyx hey! thanks for all your help. my internet went offline while i was trying to respond to the other thread. my phone is now fixed with your help. Thank you so much! only took 3 mins for the while Odin flashing to complete
