Hi,
I am trying to update my Samsung Galaxy S to Android 2.3 through Kies... Everything goes on smoothly but when the phone enters the download mode (Download Mode, Do not turn off the target), it hangs over there. And moreover, Kies shows that Phone is not responding try rebooting.
once i remove the battery and restart the phone, it works normally.
Any ideas on how should i proceed? The phone is not rooted and its OTA update.
Also, would like to mention that Kies is not able to take the backup of contacts. It says exception occurred and continues with download of the firmware.
Please help... Thanks

Just forget Kies.
Kill all Kies-tasks and use Odin for flashing. But don't forget to backup your data first!

As Lunchbox115 said, update your OS through Odin or Heimdall and just backup your contacts with export option (it creates .vcf file on your sd card).
You can also sync your contacts worh Google.

Hey guys,
I've recently recovered from a problem using odin3
That problem involved restocking from cognition to froyo
I mistakenly tried restoring from 2.1 so the phone could not go on past galaxy logo and so I used odin3
Odin3 - Download mode - hit 'start' on odin3
I did not factory reset
From there when I got back to 2.1 exclair, I updated, rooted, used kernel to resolve signature issue when trying to go into CWM recovery. Then I restored using CWM. Backup was successful.
After the backup, I felt the phone being a bit slower than before. Then today the 'phone' became unresponsive. I could not call or even press buttons and when I tap on contact nothing would pop up but black screen. When I try to enable mobile data, it would fail to do so.
All of these issues are resolved for a while when I reboot my phone.
I am not sure why my captivate is having trouble with mobile stuff...
Any ideas?

Did you restore via titanium backup? I am guessing here but I would BET that some setting got carried over either via tibu or something left on the phone since you didn't factory reset. I would SUGGEST running tibu and backing up ALL your apps again. Then factory reset. Then reinstall by opening up market so that you have to sign back into your Google account. Then go to market and reload any apps in your account via the market. Then make sure to also reinstall titanium backup. Then use the BATCH MODE and ONLY restore USER APPS and maybe USER APP and DATA. MAKE SURE NO SYSTEM APPS GET RESTORED.

Hey! That is exactly what I did!
I first downgraded and then did factory reset
Moved titanium backup folder to computer and used them to restore only missing apps and data
My captivate is working great once again

Can you turn on the phone. Basically does the screen show up?
If you haven't got the drivers installed on your computer then get them from Google and use Odin to flash remember to disable modems in devices and printers in cp and terminate kies it u have installed it

Hello,
my phone reboots after downloading/installing an app or apk.
After rebooting the downloaded app is nowhere and even downloading it again does not help.
Also apps on the sd card won't install anymore.
Who knows a solution ?
Update ur rom/firmware & see the difference...

So I just updated the kies windows app and it notified me about the firmware upgrade for my note. After starting the process it properly downloaded the update to the pc and like the normal process, it automatically restarted the phone and started downloading data onto the phone with the 'Downloading..' screen on the phone. The problem is it is stuck at 13% fr the last 1 hour. What to do now?
is it still stuck?
what upgrade was it? do you know the name of the new firmware?

Yeah it is still stuck It is the latest upgrade. As of last week the Note was up to date. I am from India so it is the latest version DDLRB.
Download it from samfirmware. Com and install it via pc odin. better for now.
warrantee
if you want to feel lucky, at own risk, disconnect phone, observe failed message and follow instructions on screen to do a special recovery throught Kies.

Did just that, it gave me a recovery code and I followed the steps for emergency recovery. The recovery started properly but now the recovery itself is stuck at 6% for the last 15 mins ;( I am the unluckiest guy in the world. What to do now?
the process has been running in the background the whole time and I did not interfere in any way, didnt remove the usb or put anything else.

Ics ota updates or through Kies are notorious for failing half way. Stock with pc Odin as nokiamodeln91 says.

Problem Solved
thanks guys for all the replies but I just solved the problem by basically connecting the phone to another pc.
I installed kies on another pc, and connected the device. On this kies emergency firmware recovery dialog box I entered the recovery code that the earlier pc had shown. The second kies then downloaded a recovery firmware and was successfully able to fully restore the device without any loss of config or data.

Hey guys.
I got here a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 (without i) and this phone doesn't turn on. Sometimes I'm getting into the "Emergency dload mode" but the usual download mode or recovery doesn't work. In december 2012 i flashed CM7 on this phone, after that I did nothing which could brick the phone. If I'm trying to plug it into my computer to odin that device the computer doesn't recognize the phone ("USB-Device not recognized", so it's not a driver problem, the whole device isn't recognized). If I turn the phone into that emergency dload mode by pressing volume+home+power this mode disappears after a few seconds, sometimes after 3, sometimes after 6, sometimes after 10 seconds. Can it be the battery? I already charged the phone half an hour. Do you think I can reanimate that phone? Or you think i need to jtag it?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi skayable,
You could read this hubix's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
Good luck.

But my Problem is that neither Odin nor my Computer recognizes the phone. I am not getting into download mode. Only in the emergency download mode which is not flashable with Odin.
But thanks anyway. I think that phone is dead.

Hi skayable,
You could try installing the drivers, again, just in case.
Good luck.

Did you take the battery out before pressing all the buttons? I've bricked mine a few times now (noob) and have managed to get a connection with Odin each time. Sometimes takes a few attempts, poss to do with my hands being too small to hold all buttons and put battery back in. One time, Odin took several minutes to find the device.
It's probably not a good idea to be using a flat battery. And do try re-installing the Windows standard drivers. Don't give up! If a noob can do it ...
So I sent that phone in service. They said, that the software was modified and the warranty is void. I said, they shouldn't repair it and send it right back. When I got the phone back, it worked! They flashed a new bootloader, found out that it's rooted and sent me back. Good method to get it repaired
That's so funny.
Help with my galaxy ace bricked
Hi guys, im using a rooted 2.3.6, then i did the partition for link2sd, and everything worked perfect, however since i downloaded some apps first before doing the partition, i decided to do factory settings on the phone settings so it would be like a fresh internal memory then begin downloading when link2sd is already placed, however after doing factory reset on settings, my phone just keep on rebooting, everytime i open it, i downloaded the firmware in sammobile, as per advised, however im not sure how to flash it. should i use ODIN, or use CWM and do this process.
Using CWM.
Copy Zip to SD Card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install Zip From SD Card
Flash ROM
Reboot
or should i follow this instruction via odin
