My Samsung Captivate won't update. Getting "unregistered device"

I got a Samsung Captivate from someone off ebay. I tired running the update through my phone, but of course you can't. It fails at 50%. So I tried to through Kies Mini. Every time i try to, I get Firmware Version: Unregistered Device. It recognizes what phone it is and it recognizes my phone number. I registered the phone on the samsung website, still nothing. Did soft reset, factory restored the phone, and followed the instructions Samsung gave me for Kies Mini. And I don't know if my phone is rooted or not. I'm thinking that may be the possibility. If it is, how can I unroot it?? This is what my phone says in "About Phone":
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I897UCJF6
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 jetaek.lee(at)sep-11 #2
Build Number: ECLAIR
I had to put (at) because xda said i can't put outside links in a post because I'm new?? It is the at symbol though.
I don't know if you can tell if the phone is rooted on not through that. But I would really like to get my phone updated soon. I was really looking forward to the Flash Player and the GPS getting fixed since I travel a lot.

Your phone seems already modified. Look at kernel. That is why you got problem when updating via kies. And i bet that phone is rooted already. Or seller unroot when he/she post to sell and kernel it self, it is not a stock kernel, it is a custom kernel.

how do i bring it all back to stock?? is there anything i can do to the phone to make it like i just pulled it out of the box??

Check and see if you are rooted, I don't think you are, download "busybox installer" from the market and run it. Unless you are rooted it will fail.
Not quite sure if that if a custom kernel actually, I'll look it up.
In the mean time look up how to boot into recovery, if it's blue with 4 options it's stock recovery
If any other color and more options that is clock work mod recovery.
most if not all custom kernels come with clockwork so if you have stock recovery it's most likely a stock kernel.
I'm thinking maybe the original owner used odin one click to restore it to stock and jf6 is the way early version and some newer phones won't even run that so it may no longer be supported by samsung?? Just a theory...

it's blue with 4 options. but i talked to a samsung rep and he thought it was odd that my build number only said ECLAIR and didnt have a number. but i guess he was lazy and didnt look into it.

Did u ever check your product code?
Enter - *2767*4387264636#
Under PCode its suppose to say: SGH-I897ZKAATT

woah no it doesnt. it says SGH-I897ZKATMB. what does this mean??

Don't worry it wasn't your fault . Probably from the previous owner. When u flash some custom roms it can change your product code for some reason. Samsung Mini Kies also checks this before it updates your phone. If one letter is off it won't update your phone

is there a way i can get it back to normal??

Yes!! U can . But the bad part is that its kinda tricky .

Lol!! . There is a video though but its the IMEI number. It still applies to the same folder though .

well my .02 is: STOCK SUCKS​
learn how to flash a custom rom and you will have a billion times the performance/options/control than you would even think of on stock. and it would be easier than worrying about using kies.

^^^^
That is actually true! Trust us! A custom rom is wayyy better than stock

That just means somebody had flashed a T-Mobile based rom that edited the product code. Check your IMEI in Settings>About Phone to see if it starts with "000" or if it starts with the number 3. If 000 are the first numbers of your IMEI, then you could have a lemon due to a corrupted EFS. I have had the issue myself.
Just an FYI, make sure NOT to post your full IMEI anywhere ever.
A normal IMEI will start with the number 3. EFS is a special area on your phone which stores encrypted info about how the phone identities itself on the network. It is where the product code and IMEI are stored. If EFS is corrupted, your phone will give incorrect IMEI info to the network and eventually you will see bad stuff happen like loss of data connectivity and stuff like that.

[Q] P1000 Brick

Sorry for the long thread but please read and help me !
Sorry moderators i tried looking for my post didnt find where you placed it. so making a new and clear where i'll tell what i ve done to my tablet.
firstly my p1000 was froyo 2.2 and i didnt checked that and tried to upgrade it to jelly bean, that was the first stupidity of my.
while doing that i faced many problems and concluded that it was brick.
how ever i had rooted my phone with super one click root..
later when it was bricked i again rooted it with cwm recovery by help of cmd.
then it was more complex, i then tried to roll it back and installed the firmware but the firmware i installed was wrong region again it went more complex.
then from some thread, i again used odin and pit it and installed some other firmware. that didnt work so i did something with heimdall suite as it was instructed and mess something with zImage thing.. all failed.
now i ve finally came up with no solution and thinking what the mess i ve done.
please help me.
now odin dont recognize the phone.
the phone is booting till the samsung welcome screen i can also listen the sound.
it also goes to cwm recovery screen and also goes to downloading screen.
please tell me a way so that it can go to normal i am happy with 2.2 froyo only.
tell me a way, please give me download links so that i dont mess it again.
remember odin not accepting it, i ve charged the phone fully and also installed the samsung usb drivers but its not helping..

You can extract modem.bin from the rom that you have downloaded.

i did that... but still not able to make any calls. my sim card is working on other phone though.
have tried flashing modem.bin and also tried copy and paste in vendor folder.
but its not working searching all over the forum but i dont know what to do

Settings>about tablet>Status> Service state : out of service / Mobile network state : disconnected / MDN : unknown

Where did you get the modem.bin from and which network you belong to.
I recommend starting by looking at gb stock safe, when you unpack there are a few modem.bin
Start with JPZ modem and stick it in /radio/ if latest cm10
Or to /system/vendor for slightly older one.

in gb stock safe, it was jpz modem file.. which i used to flash and it was flashed very well and there was no problem in anything.
later on when i upgraded for 4.1.1 it was also installed normally with no problem the only problem i encountered is i cant make any calls from it.
even the imei number is changed of my phone.
i also sticked the file in system/vendor .. i tried with the both file the jpz which i had from gb stock file and another from the firmware.
well now i trying to go for the latest cyanogen 4.1.1 hope everything get normal in it, and try to stick file in radio.
can you tell me particularly which file to copy and where ?
in gb stock jpz worked fine.. should i go for it ?

yes the same jpz modem.bin file into /radio/modem.bin
the one in the CM10 might be corrupted, who knows.

Failed to update firmware

My phone keeps failing to update. I keep getting "Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem.Try software update via settings > Software Update > Update or try using PC Kies later". I read all the solutions and ended up just resetting my phone to factory settings and I am still getting the same message. I am don't know what to do at this point. Any ideas?

I do not really believe this. Install a JB stock release for your region with PC Odin. Or install PhilZ kernel and then try one of the available Custom Roms.
If I believe you: so you read all solutions before and I d not need to give you the links to the sticky tutorials related to this.
Good luck.

OK, I am sorry, I guess I didn't see all the solutions yet. Yes, I need links. I don't know how to install JB stock release. I don't know what PC Odin means. I basically read that I must have rooted my device and now I can't install updates and that if I wipe the device it will be able to install firmware update. I am puzzled why factory reset doesn't fix the problem but please point me to the links where I can learn how to install JB stock release and whatever PC Odin thing I need. Thank you

Sorry, but no links. You are a member since Nov 2011. You should know about the simple way of searching for sticky threads in a forum already. If you are too lazy to do this, then you should stop thinking about manual updates and custom roms, kernels etc.
But you could continue asking for spoon-feeding. There might be other members here that aren't tired of this way of being a part of XDA and they will post the links for you.

I am sorry I don't understand what a custom rom is and I don't want any. I don't want to do any manual updates. I just want update my phone as my phone keeps.telling me there is a firmware update. I searched for the error message and came back empty handed. The suggestions I found said to reset the phone but it didn't help me. You talked.about some things that I have never heard of so I asked for clarification. Is it wrong to ask? Yes I have been a member zince 2011 when I got my phone. I asked some questions back then and nothing since. It does not mean I am an expert in find out about some roms. I.just wanto have the the latest update.released by Samsung on my Samsung phone.

To putnit in a simple way. Why not just bring your phone to a customer service center and let them update for you?
Since you are not sure what those terms means and your phone seems to be in stock version. Samsung will update for you.

first, try Kies.
if that fails try again.
Then we check efs
try dial *#06# and check if imei is the one you expect, it should not be 00049.
Then dial *#272*yourimeihere# and check if csc is selected. That should be the one of your phone. Maybe something went wrong with previous updates there. If you select the original your phone came with then a factory reset wil occur. be carefull, phones have bricked that way.
Now another ingredient for succesful updating is pcode, this can be found via a another code. forgot which one. Getting that back is to much work, unless you have efs backup of working condition. Which nobody has usually.
I would recommend going back via dr ketans pc odin way to latest rom for the csc found in previoius steps and in a clean way. Or earliest and update back up. Before you do that backup efs Search how.

I already tried Kies and before I reset the phone to factory settings it gave me an error message in Korean. Then I reset the phpne and now Kies says that I am on the latest firmware, but I am not.
IMEI is not 00049
The right CSC is selected.
The previous updates ran just fine.

Iam having the same exact problem! "Failed to update firmeware due to network or server error. Please try again later or try using kies" My phone is not rooted. What could be the problem? Earlier updates were just fine! Please help, I want to update it to jellybean 4.3 !

Flashed Germany 4.3 Stuck on Samsung Screen

Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance

You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

What if i download the Germany Version again and try flashing. I thought it would of worked? I am now in this situation surely the Country it comes from wouldn't make a difference? Could someone take the Germany 4.3 and make it a Working Version .tar file to flash with Odin3?

I have no idea what i did different, However i have reflashed the German 4.3 on my GT-I9305 and this time to my Total Surprise it worked!!
I wish i could say what i did and it worked but i have absolutely no idea what was done differently.
Thanks all for your Help.
I will say i installed the drivers manually and just on the off chance i flashed it again with the file i downloaded last Night. I also flashed a recover trying to get it to load a recover so i could flash a zip file.

I am so feeling sucessful right now although i didnt got 4.3 but i was sucessful in getting my imei and baseband and network back.:good:

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.

Please HELP, Urgent Help Needed. Apps Crashing & DM-VERITY Verification Failed

Hi, I have a stock note5 SM-N920C DUOS from XSG region. Suddenly all apps started crashing and when I tried to factory reset it went to recovery & said "DM-Verity Verification failed". I did a factory reset in recovery but that did not fix the app crashing problem. This phone was stock, absolutely no changes & I was the first buyer who took it out of a factory sealed box.
I then tinkered with different things and thought if I loaded a custom ROM maybe the app crashing issue will be fixed and downloaded IOLO 4 with arter kernel. After loading the recovery and flashing the rom through philz recovery my phone would not boot. so I downloaded the stock rom from samfirmware and loaded it through odin and my phone is back to the original problem where apps are crashing again and stock recovery says "DM-Verity verification failed". Please advise what to do as I am really worried as my phone is out of warranty now & I don't have the money to buy another phone.
PLEASE HELP !!

Please help!
I would just like to add that if I restart the phone the boot up samsung music gets interrupted and the phone stays in the boot loop for about two tries and is finally able to boot up in the try when the boot music plays all the way to the end.

Thanks a lot for your reply. If I flash the stock rom does it not include the kernel too?
If not can you please advise where I would download the stock kernel for my phone.

Yes the stock kernel should be included in the stock firmware you downloaded from Sammobile. To make sure that your phone is flashed with the correct firmware, use SmartSwitch. You just have to give it your model number and IMEI number and it will make sure you've got the right version for your phone.
If that doesn't work , try calling Samsung and having them guide you through the process. Don't tell them you're rooted or they likely wont help you.

Thanks I appreciate your help. When I try to use smart switch it does not accept my serial no and says that either the model no or the serial no is incorrect and I am adding this info correctly right from the box.

hi,
if you still struggling with your device.? As above poster said, download your latest correct stock Rom for your device (not just any old Rom ) try flashing with Odin v3. 10.7
Good luck
