$10 paypal donation to whomever can help me overcome the "charge your battery" issue
I desperately need to upgrade my firmware (Bell i9000m) to the new one (with the 3 button fix)
However I can't. When using KIES I only get "please fully charge your battery and try again"
DESPITE IT BEING IN THE CHARGE DOCK FOR 2 DAYS STRAIGHT
And before you start posting the "HTC fix" -- i've done it already (3 times) and nothing works.
I've tried powering down, connecting, starting up, connecting, powering down, etc. over and over.
$10 to the first person who can show me, conclusively, how to upgrade my firmware via KIES without getting the stupid "charge your battery" message
Cheers

I would try to uninstall Kies, and install latest version..

already done that (3 or 4 times at least)
I have the latest version

Try wiping the battery stats.
Either through ADB:
just open an adb shell and type the following.
mount -a
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
Or
You can manually delete the file "batterystats.bin" stored in /data/system/ using apps like Root Explorer. Before you have to set the filesystem as "read/write".

this would seem to be a hardware rather than a software issue (i.e. i don't think it's necessarily Kies related -- Kies is up to date)

As stated above, I've tried this "fix" -- many, many times. Almost twice a day for the past week.
Nothing, i repeat, nothing has worked. I've done that "fix" a few times then left my phone in for 2 days straight and STILL it said I had to charge my battery
WTF?

Just so I can try again, maybe root explorer is better, how do I set the filesystem as "read/write" ?

Apologies I didn't know what you meant by "HTC Fix".
read/write should be an option in Root Explorer. Estrongs File Explorer also does it if you turn on the advanced root options.

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.

Not saying it is the problem, but could be... I've seen having one installed has KIES work incorrectly.

tried other USB plug / USB cable?

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.

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

Why don't you try the update.zip fix?

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?

First this is the update.zip thread for fixing the 3BR without Kies and with no requirement on the battery level:
http://forum.xda-developers.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.

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

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

[Q] NO 3G after UNBRICKING... :(

being stupid and messing around with rom manager somehow i had deleted my
stock flash of the 1.6... so it installed a rom that worked but when i went to connect to the cricket network with the *228 it gave me verizon wirless.... then i tried to install my backup flash...thats when i bricked the phone... after a few hours i was able to get froyo back on my phone and the only thing that doesnt work is the 3G!!! my download speed is only around 130kb or so.....!!!!!!! anyway her are my network settings. if anyone knows how to fix or change these settings it would be greatly appreciated!!!
FIXD UNROOT B 4 programming!!!
alot of people seem to get there zio's bricked unbricking was easy after figuring it out unstead of the hard reset i got the phone into the modem update mode by holding down both volume buttons and the end or some combination from there was able to use my pc to do the froyo update via usb....

Dial *228

yeah i tried that first off dialing the *228 it gives me an error..... the phone works but the signal is extremely worse than usual..... after restoring the phone my number works from the phone just a horrible signal and no 3G! i just bought the phone hopefully cricket will help me out if not TIME for a real droid!!!

Since you altered recovery, you voided and warranty / liability with cricket.
Expect to pay for them to service your phone.
Depending on the intelligence of the Rep examining ur phone, you may be able to get away with it. Just don't mention anything about altering ur phone in any way.

as far as the data goes.... after the unroot and reprogramming my 3g came back and all seems well....except for the download speed is slim to none on any download over 600kb or so....html or browsing the internet no problem on 3g...streaming youtube on 3g is pointless... does youtube load quickly for anyone? or even load a 2 min video without pausing? on wifi no problem works great....

There is obviously something wrong with phone's 3G reception. Hopefully that spz0 can figure out a perm fix or otherwise take it to cricket rep. Play dumb and blame the brick on the OTA froyo update and don't mention anything about rooting.

K. I'm going to give some instructions here. Very Clear. Follow them to the letter and you shouldn't have any problems or have to ask any questions.
**note: You'll need ADB on your PC for this.
I _think_ if you download and install the M6000 Drivers provided by the tethered update process, it may install ADB.
Try that method first, reboot your PC, connect your phone and you should be able to open up a command prompt and type:
Code:
adb devices
Your phone should list under devices as a bunch of numbers/letters.
If that doesnt work, follow Androids instructions to install the Android SDK and continue these instructions.
**remember to ad the adk path to your environment variables path section (as described in the setup of SDK on the Android site). This will allow you to run ADB without having to navigate to the folder it is installed in.**
YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED FOR THIS PROCESS.
1)Download the following files:
Stock 2.2 Recovery Image
http://www.mediafire.com/?9zqvczb92r22qg1
flash_image (needed to flash recovery)
http://www.mediafire.com/?pc52nfnb185m768
2) Copy those files to the ROOT of your SDCard.
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Open up a command prompt and type the following:
Code:
adb devices
Your phone should be listed as a connected device (bunch of numbers/letters)
Code:
adb shell
su
**make sure your phones display is turned on and you accept the superuser request on your phone.
5) Once you obtain root (your "$" changes to "#"), type the following:
Code:
cat /sdard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
6) Next, type the following:
Code:
cd system/bin
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
This will flash the stock recovery to your recovery partition.
7) Next, type:
Code:
exit
exit
**yes, thats exit twice. This will get you out of the phones shell
8) Next, factory reset your phone. Type the following:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Your phone should reboot, wipe data/cache and reboot into a stock image.
9) Dial *228
10) Profit.
**if you are still roaming after reboot, you will have to perform a factory reset (menu->settings->privacy->factory data reset) to revert to crickets APN.
I can't make it any more clear than this, so if this does not work for you, then I suggest re-installing the tethered upgrade to reflash all your partitions to stock.
ALTERNATE METHOD
You may also do this from fastboot.
Instead of using "flash_image" provided above, just download the stock 2.2 recovery image, put it in your SDK "/tools" directory (where your fastboot exe is located). Power on into fastboot (end and send keys simultaneously), open a command prompt and navigate to your SDK/tools/ directory then type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Once your phone reboots to your OS, perform a factory data reset (menu->settings->privacy->factory data reset) to revert to crickets APN.

Worked very easy even with windows 7 have had no problems doing any droid related tasks with this os...the reflash worked still network problem went to the cricket store after unrooting phone these guys didn't notice anything out of the ordinary couldn't believe it anyways he said 20 bux for a new one...

[Q] Dell Streak 7 Restore problem **Help**

Hi all.
I am hoping someone out there can help me.
I recently bought a used Dell Streak S7.
I tried to restore the DS& back to a factory out of the box state and no luck.
Tried the follwoing three
menu ->setting-> Privacy->Factory Data reset
pin hole by sd card\
Volume + and power -> 1. and 3.
I have added info for Wi-fi and everytime DS7 is turned off and turned on the wi-fi settings are lost.
I was able to root it with One Click Superoot but when i turn DS7 off and turn it off the SU dissapears.
I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011654 and i can't access CWM thorugh Goggle market.
The original owner account info still remains regardless of reboot and etc.....
I don't have a SD card for it and i am not sure what impact that has.
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version 11.809.05.03.00
OEM version GLUNB1A132233
Build Number 14291
ANy information or any ideas would greatly help.
Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis,
Did you every resolve your issues?
I am having nearly the same issues as you were.
I bought a used Dell Streak that had been updated to Froyo. When I try to reset the device to factory settings to remove the original owners email address it acts like it works but each time the device boots back up all the original owners info is still there. Their wallpaper, email accounts, facebook accounts, twitter acounts, etc.
I have tried to use the Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Rest, it seems to work but doesn't clear the system all data remains.
I have tried turning off the unit and holding the volume up and power and using the restore option from there but each time it boots back with all the original owners info.
I can not get it to do a factory reset thus I can not associate my gmail account with the device.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
Frankie4life

No luck yet.
Still waiting and hoping.

Have you guys tried restoring with NVFlash? this procedure works great and helped me a bunch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018809&highlight=nvflash
If you are successful but your streak still wont get past the dell logo on boot, boot back into recovery (Vol+ and Power) and do a factory restore.
warning, this will erase EVERYTHING on your streak

Same thing here
I am having the same exact issue. I have tried restoring using nvflash... No luck
I have tried using the Fastboot method... No Luck
I even found an Update.pkg to try and update it using the built in recovery... No luck, It ends with an error of "Modem Error" says it completed successfully and then reboots to its previos state.
I have tried flashing the clockwork recovery via Fastboot and also.... No Luck
I am not a Noob and I have the the proper ADB and fastboot drivers installed, I am very familiar with using the android sdk and adb command from the SDK folder location.
I beleive at this point either due to an error or something the previous owner did the Streak is now "write protected" is this possible?
My biggest problem is when I root the devices using super one click it gives me root access and when launching the ADB SHELL i receive the "#" indicating that the shell has root, If I try and run ADB remount i receive and error
"c:\androidsdk\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
c:\androidsdk\tools>"
this indicates to me that I cannot mount any memory from the device as read/write.
Any info would be helpful

hi, i'm going through something similar, where did you find the update.pkg? i've been looking for it everywhere, thank you

the answer i would suggest is use nvflash like navycow suggested you have 2 choices with that you can install unrooted 2.2.2 or honeycomb, search the thread for it and if you can't find it let me know i will post a link.

It seems that alot of people are having this problem I found the link for the OTA update here.
http://www.streaksmart.com/updates/page/2/
From there you can download the update.pkg manually or OTA
Make sure you don't use the O2 update because that is for the Streak released in EU. It took a little browsing but I found it in there somewhere

HTC One (M7) Problem

I'm not to sure what to call this problem exactly but i'll explain it to the best of my ability. Recently on my HTC One (m7), which I bought from HTC website. I've been having problems moving files from my phone to PC. I used to transfer all my music files easily but now I get this error message saying " A device attached to the system is not functioning ". Also when I try to paste music files or folders my computer tab freezes up. My phone works perfectly fine, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. There is a system update that won't complete on my phone. I'm pretty sure the update has nothing to do with this problem but then again I don't completely know. My phone is rooted. I have clockworkmod touch & SuperSU. I am unsure what to do as I need to copy my music files so if something happens to go wrong with my phone, I have backups. If anyone has a solution to this problem it would be extremely helpful and greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you need to update your drivers ~ read thru nkk71's post #2
The reason the OTA will not complete is it is looking for the stock recovery and you have a custom recovery installed.

This definitely sounds like a driver problem, they may be up to date but that doesn't mean they are installed correctly.
Check your Device manger on your pc while the phone is connected to your usb, in device manger your phone should be listed as "MY HTC" if it's not see the post linked by @majmoz
It's not uncommon for this to happen especially if you frequently connect your phone to different usb ports on your pc.

You need to uninstall the drivers from Control Panel > Program & Features then reboot the computer. Now install the drivers again.

Maybe there is an issue with the internal storage.
If you can install the terminal emulator app, you could try to rewrite /data/media/0
In Terminal Emulator type:
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
Than reboot and see if it was helpfull.

I have had issues like this before. While the phone is booted as normal and plugged into pc, go into developer options and disable and then re-enable usb debugging.

Hi, just now I upgrade to the the last Samsung update and now I got the error.
The AOD is work and I got notification tone but can not enter to the phone.
I enter to safemode and still the same.
I hope there is a way to solved it without erase the phone.

I can't enter to download mode because I can't close the phone
What should I do?

SAME TO MEE... OMG!!! ****ing samsung send me this update|
i even cannot call any one with this phone right now ..

I did a factory reset and now i need to spend hours to download and customized all over again!!
I think it's because the tweaks and system modes of Substratum.
I think that on the next time we should delete all of the system modes.
Hope some one can approve it because I really don't want to get through this again.
What make it to a sad joke is that the update is not what i thought it was, still I don't have the new Samsung VPN.
All for nothing!!!

Correct, you have to uninstall all your layers and substratrum mods before accepting the OTA. I just saw this but you can boot into safe mode while system ui is fc and uninstall all the mods there and you should be good when you boot out of safe mode. No factory data reset needed.

Thanks for the tip! Rather than saving to text I just used one window to output the packages to stdout, while I used another to do the uninstalls. Removing these two packages fixed the issue:
com.android.settings.SwiftDark.Android8defaultgrey.SamsungS8
com.android.systemui.SwiftDark.SamsungS8

how can u access to cmd with adb ?

I was able to fix it without factory resetting my phone. To do it, connect your phone to a pc (pc that you previously connected your phone to and always allowed access), in cmd with adb, run "adb shell pm list packages > whateveryouwanttonameit.txt" and look through the text file for apps you installed that changed your status bar. Then in cmd run "adb uninstall com.appyouwanttouninstall". I did 4 among many, checked my phone, and didn't get the system ui has stopped messages

Did any of you have substratum installed?
EDIT: i just read up higher.
This also happened to me with substratum. One thing I did before however is I already had adb debugging enabled and trusted with my pc via adb.
I used these instructions found here for adb

What is the latest version of samsung update?
Mine is N950FXXU2BQKG/N950FOXM2BQKG/N950FXXU2BQKG.
My phone updat 6 days ago, and I don't have the new samsung VPN.
And just to be clear, in the next update after uninstall all the layers and substratrum mods and accepting the OTA, it is safe to install all the layers again after the update?
Thanks again

You should have the VPN under wifi advance settings.
Yes it's safe to install all your layers and substratrum mods I using it on 2BQKG.
Merry Christmas to all!

Thanks houboy, you're a lifesaver.
Tried to center the status bar clock and the phone crashed.
Your method worked like a charm

I was reading through the reddit thread posted earlier and found an alternative solution which worked for me.
Log into Samsungs Find My Phone website, unlock your device and then switch on Power Saving Mode, then reboot. Once in Power Saver you will regain control of your phone. Now, switch off power saver and go disable all substratum mods and reboot again.

Happened twice to me while setting up my new Note 8. Resolved to finally wipe through hard reset menu, and setup as new phone. Some Substratum addon was lingering when I did a restore which was likely causing the UI crash.

this happened 3 times to my note 8, the culprit seems to be android pay, once you add a credit card to be specific . To fix the phone you need to put the phone in powersaving mode via Samsung dive then reboot.
once the phone rebooted in power saving mode just put it back to normal , after this procedure all cards are removed from google pay.

What's strange is that I have substratum installed but never ran it but I'm still getting the system UI error, thank good it hasn't totally blocked need but still doesn't make sense why this is all happening. I forgot I even installed it honestly.
I just uninstalled it so I'll see if that changes anything.

@squick You could try booting into safe mode to see if its a program causing it, but for me, i updated my phone software(update) with the substratum ui apk installed which caused me to get the force close error where only the screen showed system ui has stopped. I used adb to get a list of packages and remove the substratum system ui apk. A sure way to fix would be to reset the phone, but if you're able to use it, try removing apps you dont need from your applications in the settings. It's possible there could be another app interfering with the system ui
