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.

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

[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?
I have some up of the same problem. It shows the USB icon, even when I do not have it connected. I am unable to put a check for debugging because of this. what can I do to fix this?

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.

I'm on cm7 and my pc recognizes my phone...I'm using vista home edition and odin v1.7 I don't know if that matters but my pc at work runs xp pro and I haven't tried to hook up to that one yet..what version of windows are you running??
I'm still on the original drivers I downloaded a year ago when I flashed my first custom rom and I also didn't go to ec09, I came straight from ukb2.1 which was ed01 or ed04...can't remember

Just want to make sure you didn't mis-read it...I'm on vista home, not windows 7...I would think it is more a problem with your pc's current
o.s. more then with your odin version...I'm just trying suggestions just because I'm running the same setup other then windows difference between us, but have never had that problem

[Q] Usb issues, but need to go back to stock

Long story short is that my fascinate will not sync to the computer through usb. This usually was not a major issue for me until the phone started shutting itself off, and wouldn't power back on without being plugged in. I'm thinking hardware issue. So I need to take the phone in for a warranty exchange, but I have powerwashed on it.
Since I can't odin due to my damaged usb port, is there a cwm-flashable stock rom available that also gets rid of cwm itself?

Have you tried the following:
Different battery?
Cleaning the USB port on phone, both ends of cable and PC?
Uninstalling and re installing drivers?
I ask because I don't think you can get back to an official Verizon rom with out Odin, but I don't know for sure.
power washed is ed05 I believe, you may be able to find a stock kernel that is in a .zip file and flash with you're current recovery, reboot and allow the stock kernel to overwrite recovery but i'm not even sure if that's possible??

Yes, I've had the phone for a bit so I have a bunch of accessories.
different battery, check.
cleaned usb ports, and tried another cable
Drivers on 3 different computers (ubuntu, win xp, and win 7) too.
I haven't had a stock kernel on the phone in a long time, so that's a good idea for recovery.
I'm thinking if I can get an early build of a rom like geewiz(very close to stock) and reinstall the bloatware manually, then un root it, plus do the recovery thing, I can give it The appearance of being stock.
Or I can try to brick it and play stupid.

So just to be sure you've tried hooking up to Odin, putting the phone in download mode and see if you get"com"and a number in the box?
I ask this because I've had my PC(running vista home basic and Odin v 1.7) not see my phone but Odin would still see it and I could still flash...
I would not try to brick it and play stupid..I brought them a fully binged and bloated eb01...not even a official release, when I was having data issues...end result my modem was fried..got a new one free and returned old one with eb01 still on it and never heard a thing from Verizon
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yes I have tried hooking it up in download mode. Windows pops up with a dialog saying that the usb device connected has malfunctioned when in download mode. Never get a com port. When normally booted I can't get the sd card to mount, but it will tether via usb. I've just been using an app called software data cable to transfer files to the phone.
Also ubuntu pc with hemidall gets nothing, but I don't know if that's just from my own stupidity. I've never been able to get that working.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Just as an update, I'm downloading an old, bloated EB01 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948943) to see if I can get that stock look. It's deodexed, but i doubt that will make a difference.
Tried the update, and guess what... Not edify compatible. is there anyone out there that can package a cwm 3.0 flashable, fully bloated , fully stock rom?

Here ya go...edify and amend script support in 1 recovery!...flash this zip with current recovery...select reboot recovery in the cwm menu after it should reboot into the 3-30 fix all recovery...I believe its 2.5.1 but don't quote me, the point is it supports both scripts, then flash the fully bloated rom you have...it should work

when my phone entering usb storage mode my pc cannot show the sd card folder in the explorer..anyone can help? im on GeeWiz rom and OTB kernel
Is USB debugging selected in settings, application, development...it should be checked?..also you may have to select mount external storage or whatever it says in the pull down notification bar after you plug in to your PC to get it to recognize it.
And one last thing make sure you have the correct drivers...if you do, try uninstalling and re-installing them

[Q] Latest ICS b0rked my phone, need advice

Hi folks, earlier today I tried flashing the latest ICS firmware using Mobile Odin and after it installed I can't get the phone booted up, I get the white startup logo then the screen goes black, tried pulling the battery, no joy.
I can get into that pointless ICS recovery but no CWM anymore. I can get into download mode but nothing will detect my phone, I've tried 2 laptops and 2 desktops but it's always coming up as unknown device.
If I go into the ICS recovery the phone is detected ok but I can't flash anything from it as it comes back with some verification error.
Is there anything I can flash from the ICS recovery to get me CWM back or am I able to flash a default firmware from it?
I'm guessing the problem is my cable (it's a generic Ebay job rather than the official one) but I the replacement won't be here for a few days and I'm in dire need of using the phone, which'll teach me in future to be more careful I guess
TIA.
I presume you have Kies installed on your PC ? If you do, uninstall it. Then re-download it. Then reboot. Then reinstall it. Then reboot again. Then see if your phone & PC can talk to each other & Odin recognise the phone.
If you don't have Kies installed, install it.
Also, when you're using Odin, make doubly sure Kies or any of it's processes aren't running (check Task Manager & kill them if they are running). Tho you need the drivers that come with Kies, you don't want it running when you're using Odin.
If those things don't work, wait for your cable given you've tried a couple of different PCs.
or u can just uninstall kies and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 instead... its driver pack without kies
works for me atleast
Try to put siyah kernel to your sd card and flash that, I think it is signed so you should be able to flash that in 3e

It's def. not a driver problem as I've tried it on machines that have never had Kies on them nor any samsung drivers, I've tried the samsung driver pack but that still won't detect anything other than "unknown device" in download mode.
@Makrilli does Siyah have CWM? If so I'll give that a whirl! Thanks
Of course

Tried a handful of Siyah kernels, none of them signed though, dawned on me then to just find a signed CWM recovery and flash that, all working fine now.
Thanks everyone for you help.
