Cant get kies to work!!! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so im tryin to get the new update off of kies but when I plug up says unregistered device. Im runnin nero v3 with DOW and the ka6 modem. How do I make kies work?

You need to use Odin to get back t stock 2.1 first. do a search for odin 2.1 and you will find a thread that will guide you step by step through the process.
Once you are back to stock, then you can hook it back up and run Kies, and you will be offered the update.
heads up your phone needs to be fully charged for kies to start the update so plug it in.

Do u no if its worth ypdatin or if I should just flash the ka7 rom?

I hope this is the right place for this question.
Every time I plug my phone in, I get a prompt that says "MiniApplication Launcher Has Stopped Working" and I have to close it out. The farthest I've gotten was having it recognize my phone once, then crash again.
I formatted my SD drives and did everything else I've seen to do. Is there something I'm just missing?

It is worth it for me only because I bought the Samsung car mount that requires OFFICIAL 2.2 for the audio out on the car mount to function the right way..
Other wise I would stick with Nero 5 with voodoo and Dragon 3.1 kernal
If this helps hit thanks

HELP!!!

My Samsung vibrant thinks it connected to usb when its not connected to anything Also everytime it turns off completely wont boot back up normally, it just shows a little circle spinning like its connected to charge
Did you try powering off then take the battery, simm and sd out, put them back then power back up?

Check if you are hardware locked by trying to get into recovery . If you can get into recovery , then i would say backup your apps with titanium , then flash to stock with true stock firmare from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091 . Use 512pit and tar provided . Dont use Odin v 1.0 use Odin3 v 1.3 .
I have odined my phone and evrything, I've even nandroid it and nothing is seemin to work.
Were you on a custom rom ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah hybridR3 with voodoo lag fix. Everything messed up when i tried using metamorph
Its probly the voodoo lagfix if you can get adb to work you can push the disable file .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well ive already disabled the lagfix. But it keeps thinking its connected to usb when its not connected to anything.
Did you try the unbrickable froyo to stock fix ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah i did i dont know what else to do
Try flashing the stk kernal just the tar in pda section .

[Q&A][FIXED][GUIDE] USB Displays It's Connected No Matter What?

UPDATED: FOUND A FIX! IF THIS WONT WORK I HAVE ANOTHER METHOD BUT ITS QUITE RISKY.
Please rate my thread if it helped
{Disregard my posts asking for help}
This guide is exactly what I did and it was very successful. Please don't blame me if it doesn't work. Keep in mind I did attempt every other option I could think of and this worked. I am not at fault if something goes wrong.
Begin by flashing to stock 2.1 through ODIN and make sure you repartition. Root the stock ROM so you can flash. Then install the latest Froyo by eugene373(you can try a JI6 ROM if you prefer). Now make sure to use a one click root method to re-root (or method of choice).
Download ROM Manager then install clockwork and reboot into it. Do a simple reboot back into your phone from clockwork. Now reboot your phone normally from Froyo ROM. Yes, it is a lot of rebooting, I know!
From here on, the USB saying its on while not plugged in should be fixed - hopefully! The new ROM seems to fix it because the USB settings are a little different..
After is where I think solved the USB problem when the phone isnt booted. Ok, now this is easy. Get back into clockwork, do the following: "Advanced-> Wipe Battery Stats" choose Yes of course. Then just reboot while plugged into USB so phone starts.
It "SHOULD" be fixed at this point!
Unplug from USB and shutdown completely. Now try to start phone without getting the boot looping battery icon. Reboot again to assure this worked for you. If it boots, jump up and down and hope it never happens again. Pull battery a couple times if necessary. This may help if the above failed.
When all is fixed you can install any ROM you wish granted you flash a 2.1 kernel if your not installing another Froyo ROM. Please make sure you understand this.
I only wrote this to help those who have encountered this nasty issue. I really hope it works for you. It is really worth a shot!
If anything was misunderstood, feel free to ask and I will do what I can to help. Ill respond as soon as I get the time.
I think I will make the guide a new thread if its successful. I need feedback. I will also add all download links and fix it up.

*****FIXED*****
Hi.. I have the same problem. Can you please tell me how you made the USB mode off when the phone is on?
I turned off USB debugging and changed the settings to "Ask on connection" then restart the phone when plugged into your computer.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I also have the same problem... For me going to "Ask on connection" also helped - but USB does not work at all, the connections sign disappears when I plug in USB.
Additionally, I (mostly) could not boot the phone without having USB plugged in.
Yea its horrible having to boot while charging.

Try either flashing a rom with the JI6 update built in or using odin to flash the JI6 update. I talked with tech support and they said the "fix" was supposed to come in the update but if you are like me you didn't get teh update because you are on a third party rom. I found bionix 1.9.1 had the JI6 update in it and flashed it on a list ditch effort before i crushed the phone in frustration and since then i have been free of the USB annoyance. If that doesn't work though, it is a "known defect" and TMO wil replace the phone. You can also just go that route too if you don't want to try flashing all the rom's.
In my case this issue appeared at first after updating... actually thus I am trying to get completely back to stock, trying to fix it that way.
Sending the phone to T-Mobile is difficult since I bought it used on Ebay, isn't it? Or is it realistic to get some help from them?

I finally fixed the issue. After installing Eugenes Froyo port it fixed the USB from staying mounted when the phone is running. Then to fix the problem when the phone is off I booted into clockwork and wiped battery stats. After a reboot or two it was fixed. Dont know if this will work for everyone...post results if you try this. Thanks!

Hi,
Does the Eugene froyo have the JI6 update?
Thanks
B
It uses the JI6 modem but thats about it. You could flash it but in order to restore your JI6 ROM you must also reflash the 2.1 kernel. Read up on it. Its worth it to get rid of the USB problem. Perhaps you could flash Stock through ODIN then update back to JI6 through Kies Mini instead. That way I think would get you back to where you want to be without kernel issues? It may be worth a shot cause the USB problem makes the phone so horrible. Make sure to do a backup of everything you want with Titanium and save any files you want to external SD. Make sure you wipe everything if you do install Froyo cause that is how I did the process. I hope it works for you if you try. Post any questions...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks for the advice!
I will flash the Bionix-Mod, that also has another kernel I think. Yeah and I gonna take care with Voodoo
Updated w/ Solution and hopefully a working fix for others.
It happened to me, but after I flash back to tmobile stock via odin, root, rom manager and flash to bionix final via clockwork(read instalation guide) it's gone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yea I suppose any JI6 ROM would work instead of froyo but it wasnt that easy for me. This guide is for who cant make anything else work.

@deez1234
so can you share with us now your vibrant running smothly, power on off without connect usb cable and charger ?
i've same problem, when i turn on phone not powering just show rounds (cercles) turn of (like blinking)
but when i connect usb cable phone show charging so now i press power button, phone turn on,
if i remove usb cable from phone, but when phone fully loaded on desktop show USB IS CONNECTED,
i've spend 3 days for searching solution of my problem but still not luck,
i've follow all your posted procedure, i've flashed successfully froyo also have install rom manager and clockwork but when i try to rebot my phone by rom manager its not work at all, just ask to me wana restart in recovery, but phone not restart, i think rom manager and clockwork not working on 2.2
please suggest me what is need to do next ?
NOTE: my vibrant is brand new just received before 5-6 days, i'm out side of usa that way not able to ask warranty or something
This guide worked perfectly for me. I tried it without partitioning in Odin first (just for a test) and it did not fix it. I then re-Odin'd the phone (following directions with a partition) and it has worked perfectly. I did not reflash a Froyo ROM, I just reflashed Bionox 1.9 and all is well.
Thanks for the fix
I'm glad I could help. And @Ja, are you making sure your rooted cause both ROM manager and clockwork works perfect on 2.2. You can try a JI6 ROM in place of froyo and see if it helps. And yes my Vibrant is as good as new.

[Q] USB Problem

I have a t-mobile vibrant that I had rooted with Galaxy One Click Root, when the new 2.2 update came out, I unrooted and removed CM, updated via Kies Mini now I keep getting freezes, it says "usb connected" when its not and just keeps looping my desktop, but when I plug the USB cable in it becomes stable, some help will be appreciated as I am about to take my phone back!
Did you already try factory reset?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yes i try everithing, any other advise
Root it back install cwm and install bionix-v or flagship v3. That should correct your issue and these roms are better than stock.
Sent from a Galaxy S far....far....away.
uninstall kies ? lol
Uncheck USB debugging..if it isnt checked, check it and uncheck it and reboot.
ok i will try to do what jbatysmallville says and i put a reply because i already do Uncheck USB debugging. thanks
I did the factory rest but the problem is the same!
I tried the USB debug and it worked everything works but now I have a 10 second lag any ideas?

If you're still on Stock 2.2 from Kies, the best thing you can do for yourself if to get rid of it. It's full of crap, just flash a custom 2.2 ROM and you'll be fine. Even that first flash will be a pain just because you're on the sucky 2.2 from Samsung.

If your hardware is locked then you can't get into download mode and consequently not being able to go to stock. To know if you're hardware locked, take the SD card and SIM off, now insert back the battery while pressing the volume buttons and plugging in the USB cable. This should get you to the yellow download screen.
And yes, you don't have to be rooted to go back to stock 2.2, you can use Odin to and flash JK2.
Oh and yes you can unroot with superoneclick. I think there's an option there next to root if Im not mistaken.
Thx for replying fast.=)um if I use superoneclick to unroot sill it go back to stock 2.1 or cm7 the Tom I'm using nw?sry real noob here..just got my vibrant last week n screwed it.=_=
Is there any other way to downgrade/replace cwm 3 to 2 other then flash to stock?Thx really much.=D

No, unrooting doesn't effect your rom/kernel. And no there isn't any other way right now, sadly.

For the thousand times, rooting/unrooting doesn't change whatever rom you're on. Regardless of what that maybe. If you do as per the guide you'll be ok, check the youtube video and do as he does, it aint rocket science.
Besides, JK2 aint called "Froyo that doesn't brick" for nothing
im stuck with the same probelm,
if i'll flash a 2.2 kernel on top will it restore/enable the option to flash other 2.2 roms using clockworkmod?

1. Have a 2.2 rom on your SD card
2. Download the file attached at the end.
3. Put it on your sd card
4. When you get to CWM, click apply update.zip from sd card, you should then find yourself in CWM 2.5.1.2 where you can flash 2.2 roms.
