As per title, tried to update OTA, but said use Kies, tried with Kies got stuck at 31%. I unplugged phone and tried emergency firmware update on another PC, but that didn't recognised it. Tried again on original PC now stuck again at 31%. I have downloaded Odin, can I use that?
Try selecting the option of automatically download firmware in kies so it should download the firmware first b4 installing.

You got 3 options.
1, try to see if you can change or use a different USB cable... and try plugging it again
2 clean out (if there are), lints, and specks of dusts inside your usb port using a cotton bud and try again.
3. Yes you can use PC Odin, download first your official firmware(of your specific region thru www.samfirmware.com) and flash it using PcOdin. Root it and run Triangle Away after to reset your binary counter.
P.S. Don't ever try to attempt making a wipe for factory reset after you've flash the new stock ICS firmware as there's a big chance you might brick your phone (with an unsafe kernel). If you need to wipe/factory reset, flash first a safe kernel then do the wipe after.
Thanks
Thanks for both replies, I tried a different USB cable, still no good. But the update worked after I put phone into download mode. (Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together until a Warning! screen pops up. Then, press Volume Up key to progress into the Download Mode.). BTW I was just updating to firmware 4.04, I am already rooted and running stock ICS. Thanks for the info letters_to_cleo, do you think I should install a safe kernel? Will I get JB OTA if I install a different kernel? Thanks again: Boringfrog :good:

yes you should install a safe kernel... you never know in the long run if your going to take the route of wiping data on your phone... and if your on a stock ICS kernel at that time of wiping... then pray hard that your phone will still boot up then (after the wipe), co'z if not.. then your out of luck.. (if you get what I mean).
The soon to be release JB OTA is far from the horizon in my vocabulary... wait perhaps next year, perhaps that'll be the time when good prospects and better optimism comes in.
To answer your last Q.. Yes, your phone will still get that much anticipated JB update (as the updates depends mostly on the CSC of your phone and not the kernel installed).
P.S... There is a 'Thanks' Button you know at the left bottom side of my Avatar name.. you can actually click that, saves you much time and effort instead of typing the word itself...

you will get JB OTA but you wont be able to install it till u unroot and go back to the stock kernel.

Yeah, all sorted I think, installed safe kernel, Philz6 + cwm, so it should be ok to do a factory reset now. What Rom do people think I should use if official JB is so far away?

I personally prefer CleaNote its the closest to stock ROM but with tuning for performance. RocketRom is also good.

it's a matter of choice and preference. Scout and check every ROMs (on this forums), and read the changelogs/screenshots of each one. Don't take most of the advice of which ROM works for you. Remember it's your take and choice. What ROM works for others might not necessariy fits your liking as well, so choose wisely. There are no "Best Rom" out there, always remember that. It is always going to be subjective to the people using it (and necessarily again, what works for others might not necessarily work for you).

You should try to reinstall the stock firmware. First see if you can get into download mode. Two ways, while your phone is off, hold down volume, the home button, and power button together till you get a yellow sign that has a digging android. If that don't work, other way is to take battery out, hold down volume, home button, and power together and reinsert the battery. Once you get to that stage, use Odin to reinstall your firmware.

Well seeing as though you updated via kies, all your apps are deleted. I would just start fresh and back to stock. After that I would install a custom rom from the forums here, in my opinion, these rom makers do a great job making Roms that will make your phone be a phone and more

Sorry went to bed, just woke up. Anyways download the stock firmware for your phone. Make sure you download the right one. Meaning if you have the i9000M, download i9000M, or if you have i9000T, download i9000T. If you check behind your battery you'll.find your model. I don't think it really matters, I mean your just gonna flash another rom once your phone is back to life for sure. ;-)

I accidentally installed a capitvate i897 firmware (Android 2.3.4, AT&T branded) on my i9000. It looks like an US firmware, mine should be German.
Since installation of the new firmware I can't use the usb-connection anymore - some seconds after plugging the phone resets and stops working until I unplug the cable again. The 3-button-trick doesn't work anymore either, probably because the captivate hardware is quite different.
So... now I am desparately looking for any help or hints how I can get my phone rootet. I think that would help a lot to install a proper firmware again (via mobile odin).
Any hints?

You wouldn't really be going wrong by flashing back with Odin. I'd recommend flashing stock JW4 which is the latest European Gingerbread and rooting with the JW4 CF-ROOT.
I would have flashed already if I knew how to do it USB doesn't work, and entering recovery mode (if it is available, which I doubt) doesn't work either because I can't press the right buttons.

and u will need also odin program from here http://www.filecrop.com/Odin-1.85.html after u download the firmware extract it and open odin
then put code in pda box modem on phone box an csc on csc box after that push vol down+home+power for download mode conect your phone to the computer and wait for yellow light in the program after thet press start good. luck btw if its only one file firmware put it on pda only
and if download mode not work with 3 button comb try jig device
Thanks for your detailed answer. But the 3-button-combo doesn't work. My guess is that the phone expects the captivate combo (volume up + volume down + power) which isn't possible on an i9000 device.
A jig might be worth a try, though I am worried, because the phone crashes always as soon as it get's power via usb (phone-pc or phone-power suppy, in both cases the phone crashes).
Is it possible to root the phone via wifi or right on the phone via app or some weird linux command line stuff?
You could try z4root? I don't think it will work but worth a try

Yes, I think it's worth a try, to download a SGS Kernel and try the App "SGS Kernel Flasher" (Search in Playstore, can't post a link) Maybe it works! I think you won't be able to boot your system after that, but maybe you can use the 3 button combo after that.
But first you have to find a way to root the phone... i can't find a app for that atm, maybe someone else found one?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you get root working, you can safely use this to flash the right firmware for your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
It's Odin on your mobile, so you can copy the files via an ftp or something like this and flash them to solve ur problem.
The other method I listed is a bit unsafe i think...
Actually, you can press Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time on a SGS. I tried it, because CM9 has the feature to change ringer mode this way.

Go into download mode
for i9000 it's volume down + home + power
for i897 it's both volume keys, and with the usb cable into the phone + power.
If you see the yellow triangle with and android and a shovel that's it!
Then get a stock firmware for i9000 on www.smafirmware.com and flash it through odin with the .pit + 3 files (PDA + MODEM + CSC).
@calum96: I will give it a try.

Make sure that the custom rom you have use a kernel where the MMC_CAP_ERASE command is blocked. And if it wasnt blocked and you had done a factory reset or a wipe in the recovery then you might end up stuck in the odin when downgrading back to GB.
If its blocked then you can go ahead with the steps by sahil above.

You have to wipe data in case you face so issues. But as I was not aware of the process that ODIN flashed it successfully i can't advise you to wipe as ICS kernels are unsafe and can brick your device. Way to Go!!!

It was already on the GB kernel. I was at the setup screen when the problems happened. Sorry, I forgot to add that. I knew that you can't wipe data on an ICS kernel, when I flashed ROMs I would always flash abyss kernel and then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, I just didn't know that it was this easy to go back to stock and unroot. Thank you so much for your help.
Wouldn't hold my breath for a stock ICS XSA (Australian) ROM, though.
ICS ROMs have been out for many regions since May, however still no sign of an Aussie one - I've been waiting as well.....

First backup your important files to your PC than you must first upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.6 only than you should and can flash ICS and after that JB. you can do the gingerbread upgrade by using KIES or ODIN, and flash again with a semaphore kernel which will give you CWM + root using Odin, after that backup your EFS before flashing ICS using CWM and finally JB with CWM
Thank you. Didn't realize I had to go gingerbread first. Could have ended badly...
By re flashing I lose my unlock. Yes?
There is a way to unlock in JB?

No, you won't lose your unlock, Read your wiki page for guidance http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
Sorry for the late reply. I've been fighting for two days with Kies.
I can't get my phone to connect with it.
I believe its a driver issue.
I can let windows find the driver. Phone then is recognized by windows. But doesn't connect to kies. I get an error message.
Tried following the troubleshooting guide in Kies. It installs driver. No connect.
Went to Samsung for driver. No go with Kies again.. I get a message from windows saying my device can perform better using a usb 2.0 port. I was on a 2.0 port.
Got a driver from xda wiki. Same results.. I cannot get kies and my galaxy to work together.
Tried different usb cable (official Samsung). And different USB port.
I'm lost...
**Update**
I just tried on an XP machine. Same thing. 'can't connect to device, please disconnect and try again'...

just uninstall KIES, leave the USB drivers, and connect with ODIN to flash a gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM according to your region from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 than root with a semaphore kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 , you will also get CWM with this kernel.
No use wasting time trying to get KIES to work, this is happening to a lot of people , could be due to Microsoft's competition with Samsung. you can get all your softwares , tools etc from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775

Followed Instructions... Got stuck in boot loop.
now
Phone ! PC image....
Did I Brick it? I could access Download mode. Tried recovery. now I have the Phone ! PC screen...
appreciate any help now... I'm without a phone.
Obviously, your flashing process was interrupted.
First of all, did you backup your data?
2nd, Go to Download mode (Power + Home + Volume Down) then reflash Gingerbread via ODIN.

Nope, not bricked, Did this happen after you flash ROM or after you flashed the semaphore kernel? anyway...
1) reboot PC as well reboot phone after a battery pull, also take out SIM Card as well as your EXT SD card , reisert battery after pressing power button for a min
2) make sure you had uninstalled the KIES only leaving the Samsung USB drivers
3) go into download mode and flash again the ROM as per instructions on that page.
IF not you can use a i9000 rescue or resurrection kit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775 , has guides there too
BTW make sure you have good battery charge at least 50% before you flash and never interrupt flashing process

Thank you so much! Without your help. I'd be knee deep in threads and various topics that made no sense to me.
It was battery.. I gave it a full charge and tried again. Worked. Sorta... Still had a boot loop after flashing GB. Got fed up and hit restore. Upon reboot. GB was there... Flashed sephamore with 0 issues. Running like a charm.
One last thing. Is ICS worth it if GB is working fine? I mean what are the benefits of ICS over GB? My friend swears by ICS on his RAZR should I worry about it on my 9000M?
Big thanks again. Cheers! :good:
I need Help people, Understand my problem First,
1. I bought a new Samsung AT&T Captivate.
2. Upgraded to 2.3 Kies.
3. Used CornKernel_UCKK4_v705 to root my phone and flash CWM.
4. backed up my OS 2.3 using CWM,
5. Success fully installed STABLE CM 10.0.
6. Everything was great. Tried installing CM 10.1 and Gapps crashed everytime.
7. THEN i made the big Mistake, RESTORED 2.3 stock OS using CWM and it stuck at some point and battery drained.
8. Now my phone hangs at AT&T logo. and if try to enter download mode battery logo flashes.
9. I tried ODIN one click to unbrick to recover the stock OS and now i cant even get into DOWNLOAD mode.
Please Help friends i know u must have faced such situation, i NEED HELP. :crying:

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

download this

after downloading it run it as administrator
then connect the jig to the phone and then it will boot in download mode
then you caqn remove the jig and connect the usb cable to the pc
and you will see a yellow prompt like the one in odin..
and then click on start..
the stock rom flashing will start...

The KK4 Corn Kernel will only boot up and run if u r on KK4 firmware or a Rom of that base...or previous stock firmware/roms.
