[Q] Kies will not firmware upgrade due to battery (even though its full!) HELP

Hi,
I have had my Galaxy S since it was introduced in the UK and I have had nothing but nightmares trying to get it to connect. It was not until today that I managed to get the damn thing connected. However I am following what a lot of people are doing and entering in the swedish reg key details:
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"DEVCONINFO"="" [delete the info and leave it blank]
This is excellent and when I follow the instructions the firmware upgrade option in Kies does pick up JP6 and I figured at last I was ready to go.
HOWEVER!, it gets to the part where it is going to start downloading the files for the upgrade when it said "Kies cannot continue with the firmware update as device is not charged enough" or something to that measure. I had a look at the battery and it was 84%. I charged it to 100% thinking that I was finally going to get 2.2 and to my dismay it did it again.
Having looked at the RegEdit I can see there is a field near the top called BatteryLv and it says no response, I believe this is what is causing the problem and I suppose it could be to do with the way I am connecting it to Kies:
1. Unmount internal SD card
2. Open up "Kies"
3. Open up "Device manager"
3. Plug in Galaxy S via USB (Ask on connection)
4. Select "Samsung Kies"
5. When it says "connecting device" in "Kies"; Disable the MTP driver (found in portable devices) in "Device manager"
6. Immediately unplug Galaxy S before it completes disabling driver.
7. Ignore message asking to restart computer
8. Plug Galaxy S back in and select "Samsung Kies"
9. While it says connecting re-enable the "MTP driver" (found in portable devices)
10. Kies recognizes the device (however phone is still constantly looping with the MTP driver initialization process)
This is the only way I have managed to get Kies to recognise my phone. I have rooted it, I have looked at every single guide on XDA and it was through combination of trial and error that I have gotten this far and now I cannot upgrade cause it wont recognize my battery.
Any ideas?

I have to remove all usb things (except keyboard+mouse) to even make it start
Maybe you should reinstall KIES from here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/d...enter.samsung.com/content/&ModelName=GT-I9000
Can you connect it to your PC? Is it properly recognized?

If I connect it in Mass Storage mode yeah it does, but the MTP driver never installs, I already have this new version of Kies, not sure what to try now.

Do a factory reset it will work. I had the same problem 3 days ago.

I have already done a factory reset. I suppose I do not have much to lose and will try again but I am not hopeful.

It is now saying the MTP is connected, but Kies just says "connecting device" constantly, I did two factory resets and its doing this now, which i think is a step in the right direction.

Factory reset solves battery problem. For connection issue unplug and plug always solves my problem (same with yours)

for me it worked

unplugging and plugging in is not working.

First of all, you have to use TWLauncher for the Kies mode (on Eclair anyways). Close Kies (including the tray icon). Connect your phone, choose Kies mode and wait until the phone app says connected. Then open Kies... et voilà it works.
For the battery problem you might want to wipe the battery status (ClockworkMod recovery or from adb rm /data/system/batterystats.bin ) and see if that fixes it.

If you manage to get it connected, try set the BatteryLv to 8150 (if you are at 80% or over)

I am using TWLauncher as I have factory resetted the phone twice and there is nothing on it at all. I have the latest version of Kies and just tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but this does not fix the issue.
Do you know how to stop it from saying "connecting device", is there a work around. I could not give a toss about using Kies, I just want to update the firmware.

Thanks for your help guys, I have got it working but now I have an even bigger problem. Its fantastic that I now have 2.2! but it wont recognise my SIM card!
Have any of you experienced this?

Hi
I am having the same problem as you. How did you get it work?

have you tried to fully uninstall Kies
delete the Kies directory in the hard drive
reboot
then reinstall Kies?
that worked for me to fix some other crazy Kies issues

Yes, i tried that like 5 times until I decided to remove OCLF (v2 beta before the app came out). After that removing that, I am able to connect to Kies

Hi has anyone found a 100% solution to the battery issue?
I'm trying to update through Kies officially and have tried
1.) Full reinstall of Kies
2.) Factory reset
3.) Delete registry
4.) Alter registry to 8150 for Battery
None of the above work and I still get the 'not sufficient battery power' error when trying to update the firmware.
Any other suggestions
thanks

[Q] Kies not connecting suddenly

Hi ... I own a 20 day old galaxy S and i also managed to upgrade the firmware on kies to the JG4 version you had there, but suddenly from yesterday, for no reason, every time I connect the micro usb cable to sansung kies, the phone stops reading the external card and I am unable to connect to samsung kies... I have to restart the phone for the SD card to be available again...I thought is was a problem with the card itself, but the same problem arises when i use a friends perfectly operating SD Card.. also the phone screen says 'initialising Samsung Kies and suddenly keeps flashing to MTP application (home screen)... how can a NEW phone begin doing somthing like this .. please help with an answer asap. How do I connect to Kies without disabling my SD cards (internal and external)?

Do you have Launcher Pro running? If so disable it.

Sometimes even a simple restarting the phone will solve this problem.. (Personal experience)

Bet this can't be fixed

No firmware and USB problem
I have a large problem, my wifes galaxy s won't go by the first screen (says GALAXY S GT-I9000)
So i thought i'd fix it using odin using the 3 button combo. But that isn't working anymore.
Luckily i have a usb jig which gets me to the download mode ...... but !
When i connect the pc cable (tried 2 OE samsung ones) i get device not recognized so i can't use odin to fix it.
What can i do, or do i have to send it to a repair centre to be resurrected ?
I have searched and searched but not found any topics with the same issues i have on her phone.

Need a bit more info i.e were you flashing the phone??if so which rom?

Then phone was playing up so i flashed darkys 10.4.2.
However the usb connection wouldn't work so i flashed it to standard JVT
using mobile odin.
Then i rooted it and went to go into recovery mode and it wouldn't turn on.

I tried to help the gentleman , but no luck . From what he told me , phone turns on after battery insertion , and It is not recognised by usb => so odin not usable .

If you can get to download mode but the phone isn't recognized by your computer then i'd say it's a driver issue. Install your phone's drivers again. To do that, just installing kies is enough BUT be sure to open task manager in windows and kill any process that has kies in it's name before opening odin.
If that still isn't flying i'd try using different USB ports and even with a different computer.
Extra advice:
- try not to flash bootloaders for now. That means picking a rom that has no bootloaders included but matches your phone's current bootloader. If you were using gingerbread flash a gingerbread rom, if you were using froyo, flash a froyo rom.

phone not starting up past first screen (GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white on black screen), phone not recognized neither by pc nor laptop ( usb drivers installed ) , phone turns on after battery insertion without pressing anything.

This manual is from a German board
Take the battery out, then hold the 3 keys combo for download and put the battery back on. Now you should start the download mode.
If not, then try it with a jig.
Good luck!

GOT A JIG. WORKS FINE.
But pc wont recognize it !!

Have you double checked that you have the right drivers installed? I know you have to use the Nexus S drivers for CM9, not sure about Darky's ROM.

Drivers
Download drivers 64 bit | 32 bit from here and install.

It is NOT the drivers as my other galaxy s connects fine every time.
Drivers have been removed and installed repeatedly.

I would suggest a different computer, maybe a different cable. I have this same issue with my infuse, hope you get this resolved.

Already tried that as well

You could try Adam outler's unbrickable mod.

Pasted from other thread:
I just wrote a wall of text b4 and my browser crashed GG
Well, here we go again, i will only tell what I did/the process
I did a nandroidbackup, then i wiped all data (data+cache+dalvik), installed CyanogenMod 9 (Build 16), it rebooted automaticly, so I entered recovery again, installed Google Apps from there, wiped data and cache (no dalvik), rebooted.
Ended up looping at the Samsung screen (not animation), and I couldnt do the 3-button-combo, so the NANDroid backup is useless.
I can enter the download thing, but i dont even know what it does.
Tried plugging it in the charger (after letting it dry out during the night), and only the loop thing appears. Cant do anything.
I see that theres something called odin (Since my download thing is working (VolDown+Home+Power) if its that you mean.
If its possible to fix my phones state, please tell me how, since I startedrooting, flashing and stuff yesterday (Gotta start at some point) and followed HDTechVideos tut (On his website)

I have nowhere near enough ability for that. Pity though.

Your problem is most likely the USB port. Maybe cleaning it might help. It happened to me for a few months then when I got the S2 I stopped using it. Began to use it as my home 3g wifi modem and kept it on charge the whole time. A few weeks later tried connecting it to the computer and it worked first go. Ever since it has worked perferctly. I suspect the problem possibly started by a rain drop getting into the port.
Mind you, even when it wasn't being recognised by the PC, I would constantly connect, remove, reconnect, reboot PC and phone etc and it would sometimes get recognised. Other times it wouldn't connect but Odin still recognised it.
Sounds silly but try leaving it on charge as I did and maybe, just maybe you'll be lucky like I was.
Sent from my GT-I9100T

Well as of today it is away to the O2 repair centre.
Its under warranty (unless the find out it was rooted etc) so fingers crossed.

Well had a text back today to say my phone has been despatched, so here is hoping that its fixed.

It came back from the repair centre yesterday with a note saying a part had been replaced,
no costs for me, yippeeeeeeee.

[Q] Black screen of death and pc wont recognize

Hi!
I got this problem, when i was flashing my SGS back to stock and it lost the connection with the PC for about a half a second and that screwed everything up.
I now have a SGS which has "Black screen of death" when I try to turn it on or start in recovery mode, but the Download mode works but my PC only showes a "USB Not recognized" message and it dosent show up in ODIN.
Had no trouble with this before the flashing went wrong, so I think the drivers are ok but I have installed new ones, and reinstalling kies many times but it dosent help.
Any of you guys who can help?
Searched google and this forum for it, and tried different things but none of the guide / hints I found worked.
Kind of really need my phone so I would really appriciate it if some of you could help me!

Try uninstalling the drivers un installing kies and i you for any reason have i tunes of have ever plugged a i phone into the computer than uninstall both the drivers for the i garbage and the i garbage program. Then put thevphone into dl mode andvplug it in and it will automaticly install new drivers and connect

Possibly bricked Galaxy i9000

Hi, i bought a used Galaxy i9000 from a friend and it had Froyo 2.2 installed on it, i rooted the phone with an app on the phone because i couldn't seem to get any response when i plugged it into the laptop via usb lead. The computer will not detect the phone at all it just does nothing when it's plugged in. It will charge from the usb cable and charger but will not do anything once plugged into the computer. I tried using rom manager to install a rom, the last thing on-screen on the phone was saying that it was flashing the kernel, then it rebooted and since then the phone just displays Galaxy i9000 or it will also display a small circular clock type icon in the middle of the black screen and it is a frozen icon. The phone will go into download mode and i have tried to flash it with odin but when in download mode and plugged into the computer, Odin does not detect it, i have tried at least 6 usb cables all tested on my other i9000 and work fine but with this other phone they do not respond. The only thing i can think of is maybe the usb micro port is broken/faulty, what do you think it could be? Any help would be appreciated because i have been trying for hours for the past two days and cannot seem to figure it out, i'm just hoping the phone isn't beyond being repaired. Thanks

Did you install the latest version of samsung drivers?
if not install them, then try to flash again using odin... do it multiple times until you get it right.
and by the way, going into download mode without your computer recognizing your device is a big big mistake... hope it'll work for you
here you can get the latest drivers:

Just yesterday I had issues with the latest Samsung driver (1.5.16.0 bricked my phone), so i reverted to1.5.9.0. This seemed to rectify flashing my recently acquired GT-I9000T.
It may help you.
P.S. 1.5.16.0 worked OK on my GT-I9100.
