hi i received a i9000t, that is in 2.1 and i need to update to 2.3.3, but the tricky parts is that usb doesn't work and it does not have 3 key combo, so it doesn't go to recovery or download, what is odd is that as well as a i9100 water damaged i received, both phones have a clean and well soldered usb conector, but always usb not recognized, but if i use a uart conection like an unlocking box with a rj45 cable it reads phone info, but that is no good to flash or anything.(just to let this info know).
but my question is can i, or should i try to update through cwm, already rooted it with z4root, i would like an official 2.3.3, but i think not possible, only modified rom, as well mobile odin doesn't support 't' version of i9000, so what should or can do?
thank you very much indeed for help or guide

Have you installed the Samsung drivers on your computer?
Edit, my bad, didn't see you can't get in download mode

I'm very sorry for creating a thread like this one, I do not want to be annoying.
This last week, Rogers change my Acer Liquid E for a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate for very bad customer experience.
Since my Acer Liquid E was on Froyo, my Captivate is on Eclair and i'd like to update it.
Samsung Galaxy S Captivate : SGH-i896 (Rogers Canada)
Everything I've found didn't work at all.
I'm Using Kies 1.5.3.10113_29
USB Driver are installed (Samsung)
Proper USB Cable and I follow the instruction step by step on both rogers and samsung website.
Here's go the problem:
(Sorry for my bad english, I'm used to speak french)
When I start Kies, my phone is trying to be detected by Kies but it endless. It said : Connecting the device, please wait. This last step never end (2 hours waiting in front of the computer).
I've been factory reset my phone, reinstalling usb driver and kies and I don't know what to do. I'd like to know if there's someone that could help me ? I've been searching for two days for a miracle, this forum seems to be most competent way to get a result.
I'll be very happy if there's someone that could help me.
Thank you!
Marc
P.S: In my computer Windows, my computer show my mobile name by SGH-i896 and i can acces to by phone like it was mass storage mode.

Have you checked your USB settings? Go into settings -> applications -> development -> make sure USB debugging is turned off. Then go back to applications -> USB settings -> select Kies (Firmware update). I haven't used Kies at all but in theory this should fix your problem.
Yes I did, is there an other way to update me phone ?
My kies would always do this too. I was able to fix by going into control panel, then device manager and deleting the device named something like "samsung android composite device" (phone has to be connected to see this). Then unplug the phone and reconnect and it would install the drivers again.
I had to do this fairly often, but it always worked. hopefully it might work for you.

This my works, but i'de like to know what driver were you using when he asked you to install it the second time ? I'm using the driver for SGH-I897, i didn't find anything for the SGH-I896
i had a lot of problems with kies doing the update to froyo 2.2 too...
first check if your usb settings are going to Kies mode and not mass storage mode. you can check my going to settings > applications > USB settings > Kies (firmware update)
if you are a rogers customer then try to bring it to a Rogers Plus store and ask them to update it for you, might have to try a few stores before you find a someone that can help.
if you want to do the update yourself then you can try this.
i first had to install an older version of kies, the latest one from samsung website would not detect my phone at all. the version i used is Kies_1.5.3.10092_2_1.exe, you can download it here http://dls.scione-music.de/KIES/
another problem i had was that during the update kies was not able to put my phone in download mode so i would get an error and the firmware update would close. what i had to do was manually put it in download mode before i get the error. so before the error pops up you have to power off your phone and disconnect the usb then while the phone is off hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb. This will put you into download mode and then kies will finish the update.
The problem has been solved by switching my windows vista to windows 7! ! I finnaly managed to convince my girlfriend to switch his ****ty pc operating system to 7. Thank you for everything all xda user.

I am on rogers froyo 2.2. There are some other ways than kies. You can flash the stock rom here (cwm or odin): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905042
or flash any one of these custom roms based on it:

If you are new and don't know how to flash, then read a lot before trying (try stickies in the android dev section and general section).
Edit: didn't see above post. Looks like you got it solved.

Freudian slip?
Hi all!
I've been doing some research in how to flash my phone (which is a Korean GalaxyS I9000 Mini) and I wasn't quite sure if it's fully compatible with the ROMs for the original Samsung Galaxy. At least it was running Samsung's Eclair image (with some minor bugs).
I bought it in Everbuying, you can find it with this name: Galaxys I9000
*This phone doesn't have the 3 keys combo enabled, so I can't boot in Recovery or Download mode.
Before I start to flash the phone I wanted to perform a backup and then fix the button combo bug, so I downloaded Rom Manager to use the ClockWorkMod Recovery, but when I first tried selecting Galaxy S I9000 for the boot flash nothing happened and I was still getting the default Stock Recovery 2e.
Because I'm kind a stu**d, I thought... "Maybe I can try with another Samsung S model" and then I tried to flash ClockWorkMod selecting the Samsung Captivative model.
Now, when I turn on the phone it gets stuck in the Galaxy S boot up screen and there is nothing else I can do.
I think tomorrow I will try to make a JIG cable, but I'm not sure if it's going to work, I never was able to access Download mode, neither with ADB commands.
Someone have any suggestion?
Is there anyway to revert the bootloader to the old state?
Thanks!!
PS: Here is a screenshot with the Model information
Hi.
Unfortunately I have no idea to help you. However, I would like to know if the "magnetic field sensor" and GPS of your cellphone work.
I also have a I9000 mini with Android 2.2, but couldn't use GPS, magnetic field sensor and backup the actual ROM (I tried with ROM Manager).

Hi!
The GPS doesn't works fine, but I think is related to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842694
I didn't test the magnetic field sensor, but I think only the gravity sensor works.
Today I've made a JIG cable and it's not working )=
I think I messed up this time, download mode doesn't seem to be present in this phone...
is yur phone rooted? not mater wat, u need the 3 button combo to flash a rom

The phone was rooted.
Fixing the 3 button combo was going to be my next step... but I wasn't able to install CWM completely and when I picked up a different model in the ROM Manager app the phone stopped working.
I will try to repair the phone in my country (Argentina), if I can't... I will have to send the phone back to China and it's going to be like 3 months!
Searching for i9000 mini on the Internet I found a chinese forum that has some information about our cellphone. There are some topics with information about how to upgrade the i9000 mini. Maybe you can find some help there too. Some links are:

The cable necessary to flash the cellphone is a regular USB to 3.5mm type? Because a user here in XDA said that a cable to flash MTK cellphones could be bought at etowalk.com (search for "mtk"). I found it (I guess), but it cost $50. At dealextreme.com there is a regular USB to 3.5mm cable (sku.2552) for about $1.5. Are they the same?
I've been looking for a unofficial link to update my captivate to gingerbread without kies but I can't find one, reason being that I stupidly used a leaked froyo that destroyed my phone a year ago.. and since then I've had a laggy phone but recently I got a text about a upgrade sadly it wouldn't work and someone said on another forum that it had to do with the leaked froyo... does anyone know where I can download a unofficial version of gingerbread for my captivate? Please I hate my phone now the keyboard gets stuck and I have to restart it all the time...
Here ya go... "Leaked" Stock I897UCKK4 Android 2.3.5 One Clicks *Heimdall and Odin* ---- Boom !!
THANKS!!
Thanks so much it will work with captivate right? It doesn't specify
Yep, cause it is in the "Captivate" Development Forum...
Go for it. And remember, Read and understand what u r doing before flashing...
Thanks one last thing
I was trying to update it but I relized my computer is not recognizing my phone at ALL I tried re installing drivers it charges but it doesn't do mas storage or kies update ect. I've tried debugging mode it used to open up to kies when I pluged it into the wall.. so it's a recent problem :X I have tried removing it from device manager but I don't see a captivate driver under my device manager all I see is 3 standard enhanced pci to usb Host controllers then 4 standard openhcd usb port host controller's and usb composite device which i thought was it but its digital sig is Microsoft and 7 usb root hubs

Did you try the Heimdall version? In the past, when I was unsuccessful with Odin, I was able to get the Heimdall version to work (but it does involve a couple of hoops to jump through). Another suggestion would be to back off the current drivers and reinstall the Samsung one (I remember reading how this was a common solution for getting Odin to work; I used Heimdall to get to GB and am currently on ICS and do not use either now, just CWM).
... and two buttons have different function; back and search.
i am from canada and have an unlocked galaxy s gt -i9000 (sgh-i896). its originally on rogers ut i use fido on it. it was rooted and running fine on froyo. then i think i stupidly upgraded with some wrong files. two buttons don't work and the computer will only recognize it as a memory stick when i have the micro sd in. it goes in to download mode, but the computer doesn't see it, in both oden and kies. i have tried with usb debugging. nada. the reception is horrible. im new to androids and have searched many forms. i keep getting close to the answer but its not for my device.
pda i9000xwjvz
phone i9000xxjvt
csc i9000oxajvt.
i searched around and found that the "i9000xxjvt" is for the uk captivate. seeing as i live in canada and this is a rogers phone i see this as being a possible problem?
i have done a factory data reset. no good. is there any way to update or downgrade so that i can start messing around with my phone again?
i hope you can help
See the Sticky Thread in the General Forum -- "Captivate Connection Issues..."
If that helps, then u can go to the "Stock Rom One Clicks" that is Stickied in the Development Forum and choose a stock to go back to.

The i9000 and the i896 are different phones. You can't simply flash files for the other one and expect them to fully work, unless they are made for that purpose. The i897-i896 is Captivate, i9000 is the Galaxy S.
Make sure you have Odin open first, then plug in. I recommend trying a one click back to stock

ive looked at many connection issue pages and no luck.
i've tried the 1 click a few times. im gonna try it again from another computer soon. hopefully that will help.
and im a little confused. on the back of my phone it says i896 and when i boot up it says gt-i9000? so how are they different?
**update
so im trying 1 click from a new computer and no good.
is there a way to reinstall an os from the memory stick?
U have an i896 phone that has a ported i9000 rom flashed on it.
That is all.
U may want to give Heimdall a try. It uses different drivers and so may work where Odin hasn't.

It actually sounds like he has an unported firmware. That's why the buttons don't work right. You also have different bootloaders. Download mode can be achieved by turning phone off (pulling the battery then replacing it is easiest way). Then hold volume down (not volume up and down) and plugging usb in. As for drivers, uninstall the drivers you have. Look in program files for a folder labeled Samsung and delete it. Restart your computer. Reinstall drivers. As said, Heimdall might be a better route to take since it uses a different driver.

You have a Rogers Captivate that has i9000 bootloaders on it. If you didn't flash them, then somebody else did before you bought it. I think you are trying to run unported i9000 ROMs. i9000 roms only work if somebody reorients the kernel and modifies a few parts of the ROM.
Anyway, download mode on i9000 bootloaders (from powered off state) is Vol down + USB. Then... well what do you want to put on it? Stock i896 Gingerbread?
yeah id like stock i896 gingerbread. i have no problem going in to download mode.
ill try heimdall and get back to you guys.
usoimon this
so i tried with hiemdall and tried to find my phone is zadig but no luck.
i can go in to download mode no problem. do i possibly have to get the i9000 driver for my computer. and if yes which one in particular?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351224
Read through that again. The same driver package should work for i896,i897, i9000.
Try a different cable, and make sure to use the proper usb port.
ive tried all my usb ports, new usb wire, different computers. ive followed may walk troughs. uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of different driver packs.
phone goes in to download mode no problem every time. but both odin and heimdall don't recognize.
when the phone is powered up it goes in to usb mode and says connected but on the computer the usb doesn't see anything. no pop ups in the tray or anything.
id this a lost cause? am i missing something? im usually pretty good with this kind of stuff...
*update.
ive been reading all over the internet and have found that it may be a hardware issue. maybe happening randomly after i had installed the gingerbread.
is there a way that anyone would know of to update my firmware through wifi blue tooth or micro sd?
FIXXXXED!! woohoo
so i went to my brothers who sold me the phone and it worked immediately. i guess his computer remembered it. i dont know why nothing worked on my 3 computers with all the drivers and stuff that i tried. thank you for all the help.
hi i am unable to update via kies, am getting the following message "GT-N7000 does not support initialising".
please help to solve this, thanks in advance
have you tried to reinstall kies?
yes tried
hey someone please help
You don't need to click on tools and choose firmware upgrade and initialization. if there is an update available.. it will so in the Firmware section
but there you can see my current firmware is also not listed
yes i see that.. either the phone is not connected properly or kies is not working properly. restart the phone and pc and try again also unplug and replug cables
there is no connection problem, many other people is also having this problem
did you flash other countries csc roms? pcodin is fastest way, avoid Kies altogether

To you and all, I had this same problem, solved it by a simple and un-thought of stupid mistake on my part. I had bought an OEM charger device that of course came with its own Samsung usb cord interface. guess what people, Samsung uses a proprietary cord for Samsung phones, it is not wired the same as OEM junk.
When interfacing with Kies, ALWAYS use the original usb cord supplied with your phone. I hooked mine yp after doing so many things including factory resets twice.
When I had the right cord, it immediately started Kies as it would and did eveything it should. (note) (make sure if you've messed with the usb debugging function that it is turned off)
i am using usb cable supplied with galaxy y
