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.

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?

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.

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

Sorry to ask but where would that file be? Are the values that you have listed what it is supposed to be?

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.

So your still have the unregistered device issue?
The flash of the JPK modem didnt help?

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.

Right, firstly this is my first post, so please bare with me.
I have a (UK) Galaxy S that WAS running FROYO 2.2. I recently rooted the phone for various reasons only to find out that some features would not work. I then un-rooted the phone to return back to the standard running 2.2.
During the un-rooting process the phone crashed, and subsiquently would not reboot. I got round this by recovering it using ODIN Ver3.0......But its restored the phone to 2.1, Build Number ECLAIR.XWJMB, Kernel 2.6.29 rootSE-S603 #2, Baseband version I9000XXJM4.
Ive tried to update the system using Kies but it says that it isnt able to update and trying to update using ODIN didnt work. Can i get my phone back to running FROYO 2.2 that i loved so much?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks Rob
PITS
I believe this thing happened to me also. I resolved it by checking if the .PIT as per this table http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm is compatible with the firmware i wanted to patch on my phone.
Hopefully it will solve your troubles too
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.
I am currently running Phoenix ROM on my Captivate, its all rooted and unlocked. I received a text from AT&T that the Android 2.2 update is available for the Captivate through Samsung Kies. I want to update to that because my Captivate is really starting to lag and freeze a lot.
Is it safe to just update to 2.2 with Kies? Or are there any additional steps that I should know?
Please help
You can try it from Phoenix, it probably won't work.
To be safe use [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY to flash stock before trying the update.
Stock isn't any better btw.
Oh and before the flames start, this should be in Q&A.
Kies won't let you update to 2.2 unless you are on a stock system (2.1). You will have to flash back to 2.1 stock, then you can update to 2.2. It's very easy. If Kies gives you "unregistered device" when you try to update, you will have to do some editing to your nv_data.bin file. There are threads here to tell you exactly what to do, or let me know if you need assitance; I have done that several times. Good luck.
Oh, yeah, if you are on GB bootloaders, only flash to stock with Odin3 1 click - DO NOT use the 3 button fix to go back to stock from GB, as that will ensure a bricked phone.

Since you're on a Phoenix ROM, why don't you just flash a 2.2 or even a 2.3 Phoenix ROM. I've tried Mosaic ROM from TeamPhoenix and it was pretty good.
I advice you to flash a custom rom , there is plenty out there .Btw If you go back to stock you will lose root .
Why is this in the DEVELOPERS section? There's a Q&A section that would be a much better place for this.

Hopefully a mod will move it.
Did like the instructions said to do for ODIN 1 click and completely bricked my phone. I tried running it in admin mode and changed the compatibility mode as well but it still didn't flash to stock. It freezes up as soon as I press start.

Put your phone into Download mode then try Odin 1click again. Then you can use AIO Captivate Toolbox to root and ROM your phone to a cool Team Phoenix ROM.
I have the captivate from rogers (canadian SGH-I896)
It is running KH2 (RWC) firm ware according to Kies.
I rooted the phone and was uninstalling some bloatware via titanium backup
when I musta removed something unholy.
As when I tried to close titanium backup I had no home screen at all. Upon reboot I still have no home screen. I still ahve the notification menu pull down.
When I receive a txt I can type and reply to it but I can do nothing that involves the homescreen it is completely blank.
I tried to factory reset the phone but it did not fix the issue. I tried searching and could not find anyone who had the same problem.
Any advice?
EDIT - I followed this link (Samsung Galaxy S APK List)with respect to uninstalling the bloatware:
But, as it was not rogers specific I removed all the rogers stuff (Account, ring back, etc) I also did remove Y! Finance clock which I have now read was also a bad idea.
There might be an easier way but I would try flashing a new rom. Or flashing back to stock using Odin or heimdall. Do you have a custom recovery?

I was using the stock ROM from kies. And I had no flash back up or anything to fix my phone (which in the future I will make sure I do!)
When I try to reflash my ROM using kies it says I already have the newest one. so I reckon I will have to download the stock rom from somewhere else and flash it my self?
Should I go back words to Eclair and then reflash using keis to gingerbread?
I wouldn't worry with kies. There is a heimdall one click that will take you back to stock froyo or gingerbread ( your choice) and will already be rooted and I'm pretty sure it removes bloat ware. Just download it to your computer. Put your phone into download mode hook it up and run the program.
