have Windows 7 Ultimate and Hard time Kies Recognizing my Phone. I used the same method which used to fix an iPhone Issue ages back

1) Download Your Uninstaller 2010 ( Free trial ) and removed currently installed KIES - it removes it plus cleans up form the registry

2) Download everything from http://www.voidtools.com/ - it's like an interactive search and picks everything in your PC. Search for Samsung and Kies, delete all files and folders which say Samsung and Kies

3) Reboot PC

4) Install Canadian Kies Ver http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/de...ub_class_cd=P#

5) Open Kies (You have to be in TW Launcher, not LauncherPro or other for Kies to detect the phone and do a firmware update)

6) Plug in your phone with Kies firmware update On (in Settings/Application/usb settings)

7) Select Firmware Update in Kies

8) Click the Update button

9) Wait for the download to finish then you will see another Windows POP up, DONT PRESS OK

10) Disconnect USB | Power OFF Phone

11) Power Phone ON with VOL Buttons ON, it will come to Downloading... Download mode (Black/yellow screen with a shovelling droid)

12) Connect USB after 5 seconds

13) Press OK on Kies so it pushed the update to the phone

14) Kies will say Update Completed and your phone should be sitting on Galaxy S, diconnect cable and you enter Froyo
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
Yep, odin'd back to JI2. Kies connects no problem, but once I hit update firmware, and get to the list of devices that need firmware updates, it's empty. I've got 3 entries under DeviceDB, one of them has the correct info. Under HIDSWVER, I have I896UXJI2//I896UXJI2/I896UXJI2 instead. I'm betting I can't just edit it through there, can I? :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] Riker2k:
Lol, unfortunately no, tried that myself for the product code and it just puts it back. One question, is your SIM installed when you connect it to Kies? Wondering because mine was and I'm wondering if maybe the fact that I have that 4th entry on HIDSWVER is related to that?
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
Sim card is in. I'll try with it out.
[Captivate General] Riker2k:
Ah, if SIM is in then that rules that out because I had mine in. It almost looks like a bad flash or something didn't get reverted quite right. Only difference is that I reflashed mine to stock with Heimdall and not Odin. A little more of a pain but worked great... You running Kies 1.53.something something?

Another question, when you fixed your nv_data.bin did you reset the ownership and permissions to the right ones in the /efs folder? Can't imagine that it should make a difference but...
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
Maybe. I didn't use the .pit file when using Odin, maybe that's it? I'll reflash. And yeah, i have the right Kies.

And I would assume, I did the same method as the other guy in the main thread.

Edit: I don't seem to have a pit file.
[Captivate General] Riker2k:
No, don't use the pit and select repartition. The Rogers stock rom tar doesn't contain the dbdata partition and your phone will just end up stuck in recovery mode. You'll then have to flash the Odin 1-click to the AT&T firmware and then reflash to Rogers stock again. Learned that the hard way last night.

When you say the other guy in the main thread, which instructions? I'm only asking because there's a thread about fixing the nv_data.bin and the instructions are for the AT&T I897 version so it's not exactly the same for our I896. Very, very close but not quite. Obviously you've corrected the product code to match the Rogers one but wondering about the owner and group ownership settings + the permissions. The file should be owned by radio.radio and the permissions should be 700 (rwx --- ---) if you check with adb shell from a command line. Probably telling you stuff you already know, sorry if I'm going to far into the basics. Just want to try and cover that stuff to weed out potential issues. Took me almost 3 hours to fix mine last night because I had to search through many threads and places to finally piece it all together. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
It boots to recovery, but if you clear cache and user data, it boots fine after. Trust me, I've bricked enough times. :p

EDIT: Just realized you were talking about repartitioning, which I've never done, or had to. Whoops. >.>

And it suddenly works after a fresh flash, and master clear. Here goes. :cool:

Thanks for the time/help.
[Captivate General] Riker2k:
Yea, that repartitioning things cost me big time last night. I really, really didn't want to flash the odin 1 click to AT&T cause now I have that damn white AT&T worldphone logo which I hate but my phone is now running stock Rogers 2.2.

So far I'm kinda meh with it. It works, couple wonky things with haptic feedback and the wireless doesn't seem very stable, at least for me. Think I'm going back to di11igaf's 3.0.2 rom. Loved that one!

Enjoy your Cappy and glad to help.
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
You can get rid of the AT&T logo, eh? There's a thread in the dev section about it.

I haven't had any issues, other than z4 not working. I'll super one click tomorrow. I have yet to find a rom for me to stick with though. CM 6.x is too laggy, CM 7 isn't ready yet, neither is sense, and everything else is just modded i9000 roms. No offense to the devs. :P
[Captivate General] Riker2k:
Yea, going to look into the ATT logo replacement tomorrow. Too tired to take that on tonight.:cool:

As for ROMs, yea - tough call. I settled on Di11i's ROMs cause I liked the theme work and they are REALLY smooth and fast. I had a Galaxy S Vibrant before and one application I use - Touchdown for Exchange - was so damn slow on it I could barely stand to check my email. On the cappy with Di11i's ROM it's literally like butter. I coupled his ROM with the latest glitterballs kernel and BAM, wicked ROM with all the features I need, a nice theme and excellent battery life. Very happy with that.

I actually only upgraded to the stock Rogers 2.2 to do a /system pull for him to work with. Going back to it tomorrow, I think.

At least we have choices now, cause if it was left up to the carriers and manufacturer we'd suffer with whatever craptastic releases they come out with. To be fair, the Rogers ROM is really bloat free and actually pretty decent. With a change to Launcher Pro or Go Launcher I could probably deal with it for awhile.

Anyway, hope you find a rom you like or at least the Rogers 2.2 hangs on strong for ya! :D
[Captivate General] MorganFreeman911:
I have everything else set up, but now Kies won't see the phone. My phone goes into MTP mode and everything... Gah this is frustrating.
[Captivate General] djUniversal:
I seem to be having the same issue as you initially. I'm back on stock and connecting to kies and my HIDSWVER says I896UXJI2//I896UXJI2/I896UXJI2.

Can you post some detail on "fresh flash and master clear" so I can give that a go? Thanks ahead!
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
I did a factory reset, then reflashed stock JI2. No idea why it worked, but apparently it did.
[Captivate General] djUniversal:
Did you use heimdall or odin?

Where did you download your stock files?

Edit: Not to worry. I figured out how to do it. I cleaned an old rom that I backed up and reflashed with cwm that after a clean restore from heimdall.

For those reading the two issues are the product id and ALSO the hidswver. these must be accurate and then you can flash from keis. I would be interested to see if it works on an i897. Let me know if you want to try and I will send files.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoryUK:
Hi all, first post on this recently found awesome forum!

(Why haven't I been here sooner!)

Ok, done all the usual searching of threads with no joy.

Right, since the Xmas update when I open the camera all I get is a black screen :(

I have done the following to try and sort it.

Factory reset from the menu and at start up, remove SD, remove Sim, leave the battery out, etc.

Shame because as in all other regards the update has really improved the phone, speed and battery life to name a few.

Any suggestions on what to try next? If all else fails I will return the phone as it is under warranty.

That said if possible I would rather not do that as 1. I love my phone and don't want to lose it for a week. 2. It was one of the first DHD's, so it is carrier unlocked and doesn't have any of the Vodafone bloatware and like it like that!

So, over to you guys, all suggestions are very welcome!

Regards

Rory
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Your not the only one that's had this, sadly I think the only solution is to send off for a warranty repair.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happycappy:
I can't find this anywhere. I put a custom ROM in and loaded the circular battery icon. I think I was looking in the wrong thread when downloading it and now i cant get to normal boot up, or recovery, only download sometimes with odin3 but it doesn't recognize it. other than that it sits in the boot up screen (past the at&t) and vibrates randomly. it lets me (sometimes) master clear, but it acts like it really never did anything. other than that no button combo works (just goes to battery charging if plugged in). Only had it less than 30 days so i might go and get another, but i would really like to figure this out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootnik:
Do you have odin 1-click?

What you want to do is open odin without the phone plugged in. Take the battery out, plug the phone in without the battery, then put the battery in. It should instantly go into download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This happens when you try to add a mod that was not made for your firmware. The vibrating you are seeing is the framework force closing. Please do some research before adding mods as they are very picky about what firmware they work with. Follow the directions above or use ADB to get into download mode and flash stock and start over
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverslotcar:
Have you tried this:

Open odin, plug in usb just to computer, then remove your sim card and external sd (if ya have one), then put battery back in, then hold both volume buttons and plug in the other end of the cable to the phone. You should see yellow android digging. This is download mode. Hit start and flash with Odin. Profit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happycappy:
I definitely added the wrong one alright lol. None of these things work, though. Still researching about the adb stuff.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootnik:
Don't try to master clear, you can't do that in download mode. Follow the instructions I posted above and click "start".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happycappy:
I have. The only way I can get the download screen to come up is after a master clear, but I still don't think it actually is in download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You will know its in download is by the pic of the Android with the shovel
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootnik:
I'm confused on how you are doing a master clear if you can't boot into your rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happycappy:
Just did it again a third time to make sure i wasnt seeing things. I just plug/unplug while odin is up, when it recognizes it the greeen bar goes accross. Then says completed. but it wont do nothing after that.

PS.. This is all happening while the boot screen is on. (Darky's, blue red yellow and green spraying) and vibrating randomly too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yeah master clear doesnt work that way. You have to bee booted into the rom for it to work. Go into download mode and click start then let it boot up fully then make sure debugging is on and plug back into Odin and then click master clear
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootnik:
If you can get that far, you should be able to get into recovery. Have you tried powering the phone on and letting it boot with both volume buttons pressed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
+1 on this

Pull the battery, count to 13, reinsert battery and cover, with phone held firmly in palm of left hand use thumb of left hand hold BOTH volume buttons, don't let go, with pointer finger of right hand apply pressure to the power button, hold power button and volume buttons until at&t (white) screen appears, let go of all three buttons but not the phone. Phone should boot into recovery where you can follow the procedure to reflash the rom just like you did prior to borking the framework. Assuming of course that method you were using did not actually master clear your sd card.

If you are unsuccessful in your endeavor to recover using this method search around for some threads about odin brickage and read up on them so you know which odin version you need to use. Hint: it is related to the number on the sticker under your battery (ie, 1006, 1007....1012)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happycappy:
Appreciate all the replies, but none of them worked. I ended up makin one of them jigs this morning and that worked like a charm. It still took a couple times to get odin to recognize it but once it did I hit Start with no hesitation and BINGO. I also realized I was in the totally wrong forum downloading the ROM lol. Oh well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Glad you got it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wisegold:
hi

I have used all mini custom roms in XDA, but every roms makes a bug. When I use a bluetooth headset with a custom rom, any buttons(RW, FF, PLAY, PAUSE) don't work well at all, just reboot the machine. Please check it.

sorry bad English
[Legend General] Asovse1:
So, I opened the app to check for updates, went into the "My Apps" section (new Market), and the list was completely empty!

So now, until my carrier pushes Froyo next week (i plan on hard resetting after the upgrade), I can't really update any apps XD Unfortunately, this means I'll have to write out all the apps I have on a piece of paper before resorting to this option.

More of a rant than a question, just wanted to see if anyone else've gotten this before, not really asking for solutions...

In other words, I'm excited for 2.2! I'll take any update I get for my Legend and Desire Z.
[Legend General] gaga111:
had this too, running stock froyo

reboot fixed it for me
[G Tablet General] pitmanr2003:
It looks like xda is really working alot on gtab, but i here the screen isnt that good. I love what xda does and android. I am running evo on cm7 and would love the tablet to be ablet to run cyanogen as well. Im just confused on what is good and not.
[G Tablet General] pitmanr2003:
No help
[G Tablet General] Geoowl:
I noticed a hot deal for Android tablet on fatwallet. I think it's a great deal for Android 2.2 tablet based on the fantastic price and powerful spcs. The seller site is here: Freescale A8 Android 2.2 tablet

You can take a look at it and there are also many comments about this hot baby on fatwallet.
[G Tablet General] pitmanr2003:
Thx but really looking for 10in screen
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Not much choice in Tegra 2 ATM or even 10" altogether. If you can wait you MIGHT want to wait and see what actually does ship from what was shown at CES...

gTablet is nice and hackable, but a number of people don't like the poor viewing angles of it's LCD panel. I don't notice this much as when I use the tablet I'm looking directly at it. (Also have a Nook Color which has better viewing angles but, again, I rarely notice this because 99.999% of the time I'm looking directly at the screen...)

If manufacturer support and kernel source are important just don't buy a Chinese tablet, or at least one w/o a western re-badger supporting it, but even then only a handful have released source. There was a list compiled by someone @ Redhat the other week, check back on /. for a link. (I got the NC because I trust B&N to support the NC for a while yet at least, presuming that they don't go under, but be aware that their customer service is beyond awful... and so far Viewsonic is supporting the gTablet...)

Also, any tablet that has 3/4G is likely to be expensive in the US as they will undoubtedly be tied to a carrier(s) who will insist on a grossly overpriced MSRP such that they can look "good" when they offer a deal if purchased w/a 2y contract, however, the total cost will be MUCH higher than even the grossly overpriced unlocked one should it even be offered.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I agree with the positive comments about the G-Tablet made by others here.

Personally, I think the criticisms of the screen are overblown. I find it more than workable and simply don't do things that make it less than optimal. No question it could be better -- but at the price point I think it really is okay.

As I have said in other posts -- I bought my G-Tablets because (1) they are here NOW; (2) the price is much better than the $699-$1100 tablets that aren't even here yet; and (3) who can put a price on the fun we are having making them like we want them? If you don' want to do that then go buy a fruity-pad at way more $$$$.

If I decide I want something else later then I'll go buy it then.

IMHO!

Rev
[G Tablet General] pitmanr2003:
Thx for the comments. Thought about zpad. But it is alot higher for only difference I see is resolution. I don't like how these new ones coming out are tied to carriers. I have a cell phone for gods sake. I don't need 3g. I have wifi and tethering for that
[G Tablet General] Geoowl:
Personally, I think the most portable size is 7" or 8". 10" is a little big to take along. :p
[G Tablet General] ~BAM~:
I think they are the same resolution 1024x600

zpad does however have 3G and GPS if they are must haves for you.
[G Tablet General] daml:
For anyone interested flat compuing has 9 flatpad a-10w tablets left. Just another zpad rebadge. But with a 1366x768 screen. Having owned the gtablet too the screen is a big improvement. Oh and mine was shipped with market.

Flatcomputing.com. no i dont work for them. His just seems to be the better product.
[G Tablet General] kpowr82:
Daml, I gotta try and verify this with you. I noticed on their site originally they had the a10w listed as 1366x768 but now it has been changed to 1024x600. How can you be sure it has the higher resolution?
[G Tablet General] rkmFL:
Hmm ... that FlatComputing system looks identical to the gTablet ... There is no mention of a different display and the remainder of the hardware is spec'ed identical, isn't it?

For me, I must say that I *cannot stand* the reflective surface or terrible viewing angle of the gTablet. With that said, I'd still buy a gTablet, if the cost/value factored into the mix. There just isn't a better tablet going, for the money, than gTablet *with* VEGAN.
[G Tablet General] daml:
Hmm i didnt notice it had changed. You should ask them.
[G Tablet General] sanvara:
The one you recieved is 1366 x 768? The site says 1024 x 600. It only has 1 GB memory?
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Daml: would you mind to send us some screenshots of the viewing angle? Since the hardware are very similar, if the screen is a big improvement, we may be able to replace the gtab screen with this one.

Thanks
[G Tablet General] kpowr82:
Got my a10w from Flat Computing today. It's a rebranded Advent Vega. As a matter of fact, in the software update instructions it looks like "Find/Replace" missed a Vega reference, lol.

I can confirm that the unit is nearly identical to the G Tablet minus the capacitive buttons on the front of the panel. The screen is 1024x600 and DOES NOT have better viewing angles. My guess is the screen is IDENTICAL to the g tab.

So, needless to say, my A10W will be for sale shortly. Not because there is anything wrong, but I pretty much have no need for two identical tablets :D
[G Tablet General] nightken:
It's truly rebranded, isn't ? If so, the quality should be reliable?

Hi

I installed the NAND version of Android but when I open the task manager there are many random applications running though I didnot open them. Could any one please guide me on why this is happening and how can I stop these applications from opening.

Also my Android version went in to sleep of death (blank unresponsive screen), does this point at some problem in this build.

Thanks in advance.

Great work.

Hi there,

Has anybody experienced this GPS problem? Since a few days, Without changing anything I got no properly working GPS anymore. That concerns only Android. Everything is ok with gps under WM6.5. So, with Android it takes 10 minutes or more to get sat fix if at all. Then, if I change from gps app to any other app, sat fix will get lost instantly and never return. Even with navigating in car under open sky it is not possible anymore. Under WM6.5 no problem occurs, same location!. Apps under Android which I tried: GPS Tracker, Android Navigation, GPS Status. All the same.

So, I've no clue. Any ideas from you?

Thank you,

Peter
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hrockh:
which build are you using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bluecharge:
It´s independent of build. But to answer your question: MCCM SE V3.4 FroyoStone Sense.

Update:

I switched to another build,

did not apply my backup

as I first wanted to test the GPS. It´s all the same with the new untouched android build!!! (Build now is MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0).

I used GPSTracker app as I always do. But since this failure, I only get a gps sat-fix as long as I view the "Status" page. If I switch to "Map" I lose sat-fix instantly. It comes back only back on "Status" page - if at all.

Very weird!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bluecharge:
Updated Radio Rom from 2.08.50 to 2.15.50 and did a hard reset on WM. IT HAD NO EFFECT. What on earth could do such harm to gps only under Android??? For me its all useless without navigation. If only there was a second person who knew this or I could find out what the reason is. For me it´s nearly bricked!
