Do you have an external SD card installed? Try removing that and see if Kie's works.

If that doesn't work, or you don't have one, try unmounting than remounting the internal Storage.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3loaded2010:
Firstly, have you tried rebooting your computer after installing Kies? Might fix something.

You might wish to use Odin to flash the latest Bell firmware (I think it's UGJH2 - guys, please correct me if this is wrong). Use "adb reboot download" to put the phone into download mode without needing 3BR, and flash the firmware directly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquidgyB:
Hey Funkadelick - I'd almost say I'm "glad" to see someone with the same problem, but I know how frustrating it is when kies won't update for this reason...

I've tried every solution suggested in this thread, and I'm still getting the problem.

Just to sum up:

- happens on multiple PCs (Win 7x64, Vista x64, XP x32)

- appears to have no relevance to what version of kies you're running

- tried several different USB cables, original Samsung included

- have tried the "reset battery stats" fix several times

- tried when the battery is nearly empty, all the way up to full. Even just after/while the "battery full" message is on the screen

It doesn't appear to be a registry setting, as the check is done several steps after the initial check for firmware version/phone ID;

I can get Kies to:

- Recognise the phone

- Start firmware update module

- Show available firmware update (with no regisrty editing or trickery)

- Start firmware update

- Tick box and click "Next" on verification screen

- Click "Next" on firmware information screen

- Download screen shows "Downloading from server... Do not remove the mobile device from your PC while downloading" for about 20 seconds, then give an error "The device to upgrade does not have sufficient battery power. Charge the battery and try again"

Thing is - I need the "official" carrier update for my phone from Kies so I can send it back for a fault with the signal. I was waiting for the official Vodafone update to come through Kies, in the hopes I could flash my phone back to an "official" stock to get it sent back.

I know there *is* a way of recovering the .tar file kies uses to flash the phone by looking in the user's "temp" folder in windows - but kies won't get far enough to download the file without a phone which will go through the entire upgrade process.

Is there anyone who's succesfully flashed the latest Vodafone UK firmware through Kies who can kindly see if the file is there and upload it to a file server, or transfer through dropbox?

I'll echo Funkadelick's $10 reward for anyone who can either trick Kies into downloading the file without a phone connected, or grab the following firmware:

PDA: I9000BUJM4

PHONE: I9000BUJM3

CSC: I9000GVODJM3

Update.zip fix? Please, tell me more...

do you mean a fix for the battery stats problem, or is there some fix for this particular issue I haven't come across?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidke:
First this is the update.zip thread for fixing the 3BR without Kies and with no requirement on the battery level:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785201

I fyou are with Bell, it appears pretty safe to use. Other branded phones have had problems. Bonus: You wont lose your setup.

Kies battery problem:

Despite the message, Kies complains about the battery when the detected voltage is too low, regardless of the charge level.

- Try with another battery

- Make sure your USB cable is connected directly to your motherboard not through a hub or the front of your computer case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquidgyB:
Thanks for the explanation - though it won't help my situation I'm afraid. I'm already able to use the 3-button method to flash firmware, as I've got the european I9000. My problem is that the firmware I need (in particular the I9000GVODJM3 CSC) is only available through Kies.

I've tried through all the USB ports seperately on the 3 PCs I've been using, I don't know if trying a powered USB hub might help somehow... but I don't have one to test.

I suppose I could order a new battery to ry out, keeping a spare is something I've been thinking of in any case :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belkre:
backup and delete from your registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB

then update to something via Odin

open kies goto firmware update then close firmware update after it finds the version

restore the registry backup then go back to firmware backup and you should be able to upgrade to your correct regions firmware

PS NANDROID before

You, sir, win the prize :D

It never occurred to me to delete the DeviceDB folder entirely, though I'd reinstalled Kies dozens of times.

I tried helping this guy for ages yesterday and I wasn't smart enough to help him and win his donation :(. Although he did tell me he didn't have PayPal, little bugger! Haha, still tried to help him though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquidgyB:
btw, I didn't restore the registry nor do a nandroid backup - I have no need for backing up because I only wanted to update to proper stock firmware.

I figured that all it needed was for Kies to "see" the I9000 for the first time again - so deleting the DeviceDB registry keys was enough - I flashed back to JF3 and Kies went through the entire process of updating without any issues.

I'm not even sure if flashing through Odin was strictly required either, I have a hunch just deleting the reg keys would work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
I had the battery charge issue once before. To fix it I just factory reset the phone and restarted the computer at the same time. Bingo, update.

Give that a shot.

I know how to put the phone into reboot download mode

but what do you mean with flash the firmware ? where do I d/l it ?

haven't used odin yet -- kinda scared to -- considering if i mess up I will brick my phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the same chances can occur if you use Kies

but at least if you did fail on Kies you have a proof to back it up, if they doubt you in case you need to return the phone.

but that'll be unlikely as you just need a hair drier to do the trick, apparently the heat trick is true, we got a couple of solid proof from just today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
I sent you a donation it's under Mark MacCuish

you did help me - but I can't get it to work vias KIES b/c of the battery issue
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquidgyB:
Try running regedit.exe, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB and delete it and it's contents (backing up isn't really required as it's rebuilt by kies when you connect the phone).

This is what fixed the "battery not charged enough" isssue for me.

I somehow don't think flashing through Odin is required - Kies will have to rebuild the registry keys for DeviceDB when you connect regardless.

I am new here and have a question.

I have a Motorla MPX200 with Windows Mobile 2003 installed. Is there a new stable Rom with Windows Mobile 5 or even 6? I want to use it as a cell phone, so calling and sms service have to work on it.

Is there a chance to get a german language file installed on it?

It would be great if someone answeres, sry for bad english!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Thekn:
the most important thing before flashing is that you have a official firmware as a backup, so if you don't like it you can flash the original firmware back to your device.

please read the threads carefully and look at all of the reply's before you start flashing!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rxpaul:
Hi All,

I have a Milestone running 2.1-update1 (SHOLS_U2_02.36.0 build). It is a phone bought in India.

I want to downgrade from 2.1-update1 to 2.0.1 (stock). Now I have gone through many articles and threads but have been left terribly confused about this. My questions are:

1. How to go about the downgrade? (a noob guide would be most appreciated)

2. Is it possible to do the downgrading without rooting the phone?? (i might have to give it back under warranty)

All and any help greatly appreciated!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dlbogdan:
i guess you would just have to flash the 2.0.1 sbf using this tutorial if using windows:

http://groupoften.wordpress.com/category/how-to/

just need a couple of tools, a full batery, ups for computer or laptop or simply good luck and 6 minutes..

you should start by finding the apropriate 2.01 sbf file.

cheers.

the HTC shift is a superb idea in my opinion.

A tablet with a proper OS. I still see no point in the ipad/galexytab.

Are there any other tablet PC's out there like it? With fold away keyboards?
[Off-topic] !PANDA:
theres the Archos series.. some have their "own" OS ans some Android, Windows 7 Starter.. although the OS have been succesfully changed on all of the tablets... they're prettu nice, and cheap compared to the iPad or the Galaxy S tab..

[Off-topic] captainstu72:
Personally, at the moment I would just buy a laptop with a rotating touch screen to use as a tablet, and have win 7 ultimate running on it. Still would be a whole lot cheaper then any tablets, and can be used with as laptop too... That being said, I do like the idea of an Android Tablet - But I do not know for what purpose it would be used, apart from browsing XDA! But then I have not bothered to check to much about if a phone would be able to share the memory card out to android and it be recognised as removable storage, as then you would be able to download roms on a tablet to flash on your phone...

I spend a lot of time trying to justify to myself the urge to buy a galaxy tab / some form of rockchip tablet - but so far I can always find more cons! its a shame really! More of a shame is I am really thinking of going Win Phone 7!

But back on topic I have seen a few before, But I can't remember there names, I'll check on my lunch to see what my favourites have in store.

Seriously..

what is the deal with the phone just randomly shutting off. I've read the posts and am on my THIRD phone!!

I thought I had one the "Captivate Lottery" because it wasn't shutting down for a few weeks... then one day, BAM!

Then the next day, BAM... now it seems like it may go for a few days, then shut off a bunch again, then go for a few more days then shutdown again.

Now, I'm happy if it doesn't shutdown 3 or 4 times a day.

I'm past my 30 days.. what the hell should I do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack45:
I understand your frustration because it is, in fact, a lottery. I won on the third try, but it obviously will take you more effort.

The only app that has caused problems for some is SetCPU. I suspect that certain settings were mis-managed by the users and that the app itself is o.k.

What should you do? If you purchased your unit at an AT&T corporate store, see if the Warranty Department will permit you to once again exchange the phone at the store. If you have multiple stores in the area, try another one. Maybe their batch is more stable. Under any circumstance,

do not settle

. Get a unit that works to your satisfaction.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhans:
Thanks for your kind words... I have a co-worker that has the same phone and his has NEVER had a shutdown.. all 3 of mine started shutting down after a couple of weeks.

My next question since I've had to return/reset this phone so many times I am sick of having to re-download/install/configure it over and over again.

What is the best/easiest way to restore all your settings and apps again after returning it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidftwin:
I think you will have to call ATT and ask for a replacement. Since you are past your thirty day limit, you will be offered a refurbished phone. This is the process im going through right now. I went to an ATT store and they told me since im past my 30 they cant do anything. Only way was to call ATT warrantee
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack45:
You're in luck. Download Titanium Backup from the Market. After that's accomplished, you need to understand that the default backup location for files is internal to the phone. The Catch-22 is that you'd be returning the phone...along with the backup! Here's how you can backup everything and retain your "stuff" for restoration to your new phone (you'll need to purchase an external SD card if you don't already have one installed. Inexpensive.)

Goal: Instruct Titanium Backup to automatically store your backup files on an external SD card so that restoring the backups in the event you need to exchange your phone becomes a convenient task.

Resolution: In Titanium's preferences change the backup folder name to sd/TitaniumBackup, as the default TitaniumBackup folder is, by default, internal to your phone. Then create your "portable" backup now to be domiciled on your external SD card.

Using Titanium Backup:

First, go to Settings, Applications, Development and check USB debugging. TB needs this.

In Titanium Backup select Backup/Restore then press the menu button. Select Batch then the "RUN" button you'll pick is the one that reads "Backup all user apps + system data." Then press Select all, then press Run the batch operation. After it completes the job use a File Manager (like Astro) to make sure that the backup is, in fact, on the external SD card.

Remove the external SD card and await the arrival of your new phone. Once received, install the SD card in your new phone and restore the backup.

Maybe I've gotten very lucky - I started getting "Sleeping Death" a few days after I have received the phone.

Rooted, Applied the Voodoo Fix (which uses a vanilla kernel I believe?) and it seems to have fixed it.. Hasn't done it in a week now.

So I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is software and not hardware related.

I hate to say it, great phone when it works but this is the buggiest hardware I've seen. Imagine if this was going on with the iphone, we'd all be getting new phone's and there would be some huge news media about it.

Got my replacement in the mail, it looks brand new to me. So far so good for the day, installed LauncherPro, AIM, MSN, and probably installing games later. It has been fine. The old phone I am sending back shut off pretty much every time I tried picking it up to check the time about 8-10 times a day.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack45:
When I first got my third phone (the stable one) my heart skipped a beat each time I looked at it, worried that I'd find it turned off. After a while you learn to take it for granted that it's "solid." Hope your good luck continues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88EVGAFTW:
Thanks, hopefully it will be fine. Luckily somehow I ended up with 7 screen protectors (3 from ATT, 2 Bodyguards, and 2 from Stealth guards when they were giving them away + shipping cost) I will put one on it later today maybe and since I have so many, it won't really matter if, hopefully not, I have to send it back later or take it off.

Don't waste your time. It's hardware-based. Anyone going down the road of trying to assess which software is causing the shutdowns is playing with themselves. Well, at least you don't have to look your best.
