HELP ME!!!!! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys...I need help. I used odin one click to restore back to stock JF6 and tried to use Kies to get to stock 2.2 just b/c I decided I liked stock 2.2. Well, for the first time ever, Kies says "unregistered device", now I have never had this problem. What should I do, to get it to work?
I'm on AT&T. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and kies. I tried reflashing to stock JF6 and Master Clear several times, and I am still getting the same thing.

Use Odin and flash Froyo from Download mode.
http://www.techpetals.com/how-to-in...d-2.2-froyo-for-samsung-captivate-leaked-2295

This is leaked froyo. I want the official build from kies.

Is it possible your nv_data.bin got changed? You might look into that and read up on how to fix it. Just a thought. I think that might have happened if you ever flashed Gingerbread. But I don't remember the exact details, so look into it youself.
Edit: After looking around a little bit, I found that you might try using the Odin 3 one-click tool to do a master clear. Then try kies mini and see what happens. Oh, and did you use kies or kies-mini?

Please use more descriptive thread titles.

unregistered device after i9000 flash back to JF6

I have searched about this but found nothing that helped. I have flashed a few ROMS from the CoG versions to some of the other FroYo builds. I have not had any issues going back and fourth till the I9000 ROM.
In the past I would ODIN back to the JF6 on click then Kies mini to get back to the JH7 update. However after trying the i9000 ROM I have decided to go back to stock and Kies mini is now telling me that I have an unregistered device. I have used the JH7 OTA .zip to get back to JH7 and still Kies says it unregistered.
I have tried the files that were listed in another thread to resolve this issue but it still states that I have an unregistered device.
I have done the ODIN master clean and re-flashed multiple times with no change. Is there something the i9000 ROM did to my phone that ODIN will not flash out of the phone?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the I9000 roms require a special kernel? Have you flashed back to the stock Captivate kernel yet?

Yes I have gone back to the original ODIN multiple times. When I did that I was going to go to the update JH7 via KIES but both my computers tell me my phone is unregistered. I had to use the OTA file DG has to get back to JH7.
I have tried on two computers with Kies mini and the full kies and Kies mini says that its an unregistered device full kies says something similar.
I am now running JH7 but just had the question about what happened by flashing caused Kies not to like my phone. In the past trying the different ROMs I was always able to use kies to get back until now (after the i9K flash).
I am also having exactly the same issue
trying to find a solution
It sounds like maybe the nv_data.bin file has the wrong operator code - something to check anyway. Use a hex editor to look at offset 00188000 SGH-1897ZKAATT

well looking at that offset it is ÿÿÿÿREV0.4....ÿA
but 00188010 is TT....SGH-I897ZK
so is this what the problem is?
I changed the value but still gave me that same unregistered device issue.
I would like to find a solution if possible TY for your help
Anyone else have any ideas?
I know the new update is comming soon and would like to be able to get this via Kies.
I know this is the phone and not the computers that I am using.
It sounds like you only used odin to get the captivate ROM refreshed. I had the same problem, odin back to stock. Unregistered device. Flash to Tuyetama latest i9000 all better. After odin refresh try reflashing the stock captivate kernal.

That is what got me to the point of having an unregistered device.
Unless I am missing what your saying to do?
This is what I have done to this point
was on JH7 and went to try one of the i9000 roms but didnt get a good signal.
I went back to stock with the ODIN one click back to JF6. Then tried to Kies mini back to JH7 but this is a no go as it said unregistered device. I had to flash DGs JH7_OTA. This is where I am now but still unregistered.
i am in the same boat and would like to get this fixed as well.
I have reflashed with odin a few times with and without the one click and even loaded the JH7 OTA clockwork recovery and it still doesn't see my device properly.
ok just went from tayutamas I9000 rom with voodoo/lag fix jpm rom, back to Odin one click captive factory fresh.
1. reflashed back to a jpk modem using CWM.
2. opened Odin 1click
3. rebooted into recovery
4. hit start on Odin after 5min. phone rebooted all works fine. Last time i tryed to flash back to stock using Odin I also had an unregistered device issue. The only change in my order of doing things was i flashed the jpk modem before i went back to stock. Just my experience not sure if it will help you all hope it helps SOMEONE.

The flash of the JPK modem didnt help?
I am up and running with JH7 just want Kies to see my phone right.
No sorry I didnt clarify, yes my device is back to normal, Registered and non rooted. I apologize I should have been more clear. Hope this helps.

[Q] Software Updates?

Hi,
I was playing with ROM flashing and the like and I decided to go back to stock, so I did using the ODIN flash to JF6. However, it seems that I have trouble getting the JF7 update over the air to work. Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm a Noob, but you might try Kies - It should detect a newer version available and let you update that way. Much more reliable in any case if you ask me.
You can do search flashing to stock JH7 that should help you. If no one else has sent you a link by the time I get to my computer I'll send you a link I think it will be flashing 1010 build or something like that.

I've had more problems with kies than anything else, try the samsung website to update.
I see you was wanting JF7, I don't know what the difference is but this will get you back to stock JH7 Eclair.

I tried it, it works.
Well I want JH7, but I also want to be able to get the official Froyo when or if it comes out.

Like stated above.... flash using kies mini.... then you'll be ready for official AT&T froyo.
Alright thanks for all your help, Mini Kies did the trick.

[Q] HELP!!!! i Just screwed up my galaxy s

Hey guys, i just screwed up my galaxy s using odin. I was trying to upgrade my firmware from 2.2 to 2.2.1(in fact I recently upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2) when my phone went dead.
Now that i turn it on by holding down vol-up + home + power, all i get is this message:
RST_STAT =0x1
PMIC_IRQ1 =0x3c
PMIC_IRQ2 =0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 =0x0
PMIC_IRQ4 =0x0
PMIC_STATUS1 =0xc0
PMIC_STATUS2 =ox2c
*
I would appreciate your help and time spent in giving me some tips or better yet solutions to solve this issue. Thanks.
More info: Any customization ie. rooted, lagfixed, custom roms?
I used s1_odin_20100512.pit after that my phone turned off giving me the messages i just explained.
Not that familiar with 2.2.1, but I would make the assertion that you should not be using PIT files to ROM flash unless you need to change the partitions. You should be using PDA files. You will probably need to search for the proper PIT and PDA files for stock 2.1 or 2.2 and flash those. Are you able to see the phone via ODIN?
Exactly what kind of phone do you have. Is it a captivate or I9000?

search odin 1 click
and go back to stock
you should still be able to get to DL mode
It doesn't even load on odin nor my computer can recognize the device.
i have a captivate I9000. I think the problem should have caused it that when i started odin i clicked the re-partition box.

Ok well the captivate is not an i9000 it is an i897, so you are in the wrong place. Also might be why if you used odin files set for the wrong device. I would look into getting a jig.
it is an i897. However, after upgrading to 2.2 and rebooting the phone, i would see a screen saying that it was an i9000. So what you think is that i installed the wrong adin files? great!!
what does a jig would do to my phone?

How did you update to 2.2? if you used the new update you would not have gotten and i9000 screen unless it is a custom rom, A jig will force it into download mode.
If you can get a jig to get you into d/l mode, check out this thread to get you back to normal.
I'm sure you can find some sources for the jig in this thread, but if you prefer to try to make one, yourself, look here.
This may be a handy thread for you, too.
I got the update from Samsung Kies. I got that screen after rooting my phone.
i did three things: update from 2.1 to 2.2, root my phone, and attempted to upgrade to 2.2.1.
The third thing i did messed up my phone.
I will try getting a jig and see what happens. I hope it works fine again.

Ok if Keis updated your phone to 2.2 with the i9000 screen then you dont have a i897 captivate. you have the i9000. mainly sense there is no keis upgrade for 2.2.1 for the captivate.
I was using odin to update to 2.2.1 and ended up bricking my phone!!
I had to use PDA instead of PIT as you said previously!!
Thanks!! there is also a tuturial about how to do a jig here

Ok then there is no way Keis updated you to the 2.2 with the i9000 screen, that comes from a custom rom. Get a jig and boot into download mode, if all the other methods have failed and flash back to stock with odin. Oh and all the 2.2.1 roms are custom roms normally used with CWM flashes. Might need to do a little be of research and spend a few hours reading up to make sure this doesnt happen again.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate the time you spent helping me.
And yeah i will do that definitely, that's the moral of the story.
Again, THANK YOU!
Ok I was trying to flash new rom...so I flashed to stock...but after the process finished in Odin...and it showed Reset....my phone should have rebooted right? But it didnt reboot...just got dead...I removed everything and tried to start it no use...even used jig...but its no responsive...I am not panicked (as it was my experimentation phone)...but trying to find what to do in that case...battery was full too....

[Q] Keep getting "Unregistered device" while updating to Gingerbread

Okay, so I did a factory reset, no custom roms, only had official Froyo and Speedmod kernel. I also unrooted. Why do I keep getting "Unregistered device" from Kies Mini? Maybe it's because my Baseband version on "About Phone" shows "I9000UGJK4"? Or is it maybe that their servers are being bombarded by Cappy users updating their phones? Any help is greatly appreciated.
If you have flashed a custom ROM before, it won't work. Just wait on a Odin/Heimdall one click!

This worked for me, I tried this morning, I had the same issue while on CM9 ICS.
As mentioned flashing any rom your device's I'd might change. I've never had my imei change but read enough ppl to know it happens.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
I don't know if this matters, but I've never installed a custom ROM, only a custom modem and kernel. Would that change the IMEI?
Have you messed with unlocking it?
Sent from my ICS powered i897
I'm pretty sure kies mini will detect kernel changes. I had stock froyo with a flashed kernel and it wouldn't let me update. I flashed everything back to stock, but was still rooted, and it still wouldn't let me update. I ended up doing a full flash back to stock kb2 and it finally let me upgrade.
I wonder if I flashed the stock kernel and unrooted if it would have worked. At the time I was too lazy to browse for everything and already had the heimdall package downloaded.

If your "About Phone" shows anything other than SGH_I897 kies mini will not recognize your device. I was running andromeda , wouldn't see it so I went back to stock, oneclicked jf6. After that kies immediatley recognized it. I probably didn't have to go back to jf6 but, I had nothing better to do for that next hour. If you do go back to jf6 you will have to kies mini twice to get GB, first time it will install froyo, when it's done close kies, unplug re-open kies, re-plug your phone kies will show update again, click and sit back and wait for it to finish. ...you now have GB.
Thank you all for your help. I finally got it. I ended up RE-flashing back to stock using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Turns out that I did in fact have a custom modem and custom kernel, and when I flashed back to stock the first time (I used Clockwork Recovery), it didn't put back the original modem and kernel, thus making Kies Mini not recognizing my phone. So, after RE-flashing the ORIGINAL OFFICIAL Froy update using the above link, everything went smooth fronm there. Hope this helps somebody.

help with flashing back to stock!

hey guys have the rogers captivate 896. I have a jig for download mode. Ok so I was on miui gingerbread. I wanted to try with weUI ics. So I followed their procedure correctly. Install completed but like another user I got it hanging at the MI boot screen. So having to flash to stock before I felt comfortable. So I've always used odin 1.32. I set the pit file that came with it and downloaded the rogers. 2.2 stock files. I get in d/l mode, run odin does some things, and it gets halfway through the factoryrs file and fails. I'm freaking lost here. Any ideas on how to get this back to stock?
If its the same files you used before I'm willing to bet its a funky usb cable. But before you go buy another (unless you have a spare) Try rebooting machine running as admin re-downloading the firmware. Also probably not the issue Odin 1.35 is kinda older version, but thats just my personal thing.
on both of those and still no factoryrs pass. switched new usb cable, switched all ports. so if the ics files installed, would I be able to go back to 2.2 stock rom? can anyone walk me through this as I think I'm doing this write. I even tried clicking reset bootloaders and that didn't work. So here's what I'm doing.
have jig, go into d/l mode
start odin 1.82. check repart, and leave the other two checked. load 512 pit, phone tar file and start.
this seems insanely easy. did this before but even after 10 attempts it fails. could ics be messing this up?
Don't check repartition and try it.
shouldn't you always repartition it though?
going to try flashing from a different pc. so i'm able to get in d/l mode which I know is good. I don't know what took on my phone, I'm thinkin ics installed, so can anyone point out the proper procedure to go back to 2.2 on a rogers captivate? is it merely odin, 2.2 stock, check repartition, set pit and tar, then flash?
Search for a member that goes by trusselo he has done some good stuff for the Rogers captivate
Here is his xda page. look in his signature

hey I tried 3 different cords, 2 computers and multiple usb slots. All fail on factoryrs.rfs. So even in unchecking re-partition this tanks. I have a jig so getting into d/l mode is easy, I just can't get this darn thing back to stock. so i'm guessing (big guess here) I have ics files on my phone, how would I get back to 2.2. Be gentle I'm still slightly new at this!

what did you flash? I tried flash 2.1 and 2.2 both fail factoryrs.rfs. even tried odin 1.81. so it has to be something with the 2.2 and 2.1 rom. Just want to get this darn thing back to stock. any ideas?
Any GB firmware I had laying around. KH4, KJ3, KF1. I don't usually use GB anymore but I've needed to go back a few times to try things out.
see most posts i've read say you must repartition with 2.2 and below and can't use a pit file with 2.3. I'm wondering what'll happen if I just flash a gb 2.3.
