Ok
finally got Kies Mini recognizing my captivate again and trying to update to official jh7 with it.
(Had previously been getting unregistered or not recognize)
Sees there JH7 update when it goes to install says i "am not connected to internet" when i clearly am.
anyone experienced this and/or been able to resolve it?

it happened on mine all the time ( spent sometimes flashing back n forth ). i just keep trying until it starts downloading. nothing special, it's just the damn Kie.
have tried everything but unrooting but thought you could update via kies when rooted.
uninstalled kies (both mini and full) and reinstalled mini.
going to try again if that doesn't work may unroot and retry.

Being rooted should make no difference. Wouldn't surprise me if AT&T servers are overwhelmed with people checking everyday for a Froyo update that we clearly won't get until next year.

Let me rephrase that, if we don't see it by next week I doubt we'll see it until next year. Last thing AT&T wants to do is push an update that causes troubles during the holiday season when most of it's work force is out on holiday.
Just my 2 cents.
I agree. It would not surprise me if they pushed the update out in Jan. Guess Canada gets it before USA. Hurray for time wasting lock down of the OS update.

AT&T just SMSed me that the update is coming soon and I should press OK when prompted.

Uhhh, you are about 1 week to late for this information. Thanks though.
I was rooted, no lagfix when I tried to update. It got to 100% then it said failed. My baseband says I897UCJH7. Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2.
Did the update work or not?
Flashman, how did your OTA update go? Any issues us rooted/unlocked folks should be worried about?
My instinct is to delay the update until I stop seeing posts about hot it F'd up people's phones.

If you rooted and removed anything from stock rom, you're pretty much guaranteed to fail on OTA update. In order to make the OTA download package as small as possible, Samsung uses a diff patch based on the bit differences between stock JF6 image and new JH7 image. So, if you touched the JF6 in any unauthorized way, the patch won't work.
Luckily, you can now use the newly released Kies Mini to do a full ROM update which should be more reliable as you have the entire ROM image downloaded to your desktop and then flash to your phone.

If my settings say i'm at JH7, does that necessarily mean the OTA update was completely successful? It reached 100% then said failed.

What do you mean removed anything from stock rom? I rooted and removed a bunch of the bloatware and did an OTA update with no issues.
I failed along with most other rooted and flashed guys. Luckily I didn't brick my phone in the process. I will wait until some beret update comes along before trying anything ota again.
Sweet life
Nevermind, I guess it didn't update fully cause some of the implemented changes aren't there. I really didn't want to have to run a master clear and have to reinstall all my stuff.

Do you have TouchWiz as your default launcher? and make sure you're on your home screen when you connect your USB cable.
If that doesn't do it you need to get back to JF6 only way or another because Mini Kies will continue to tell you that you have an "unregistered" device until it is at JF6
The reason is because your update failed partially :/
are you guys talking about a new update or just JH7?
We're talking about JH7, some people are still having difficulties getting it on their phone as the OTA is still failing - and if you've failed the OTA you need to reflash to stock before mini kies will work.
when i did the update i was rooted an it didn't fail on install or bootup or anything.
but then again i'm just rooted and nothing else has been touched.

Exactly, I don't think root causes any issues. I was able to check for update on a rooted ROM.
It's when you have a custom kernel etc.

Not really. AT&T has said that the real update will be sent out via SMS text message link, not through the "update software" menu in android.
Engadget just had that yesterday.

It's the same thing.
Hi all,
Please excuse lack of knowledge/understanding, very new to all this. I have a samsung galaxy S i9000 (in Australia, with Optus). They've notified us all that we can update to Android 2.2 through Kies. However I'm reading a lot of reports about people connecting their phones to Kies, running the update and coming out with bricked phones. Does anyone know why this happens and if there's anything that can be done (other than not running the update) to prevent this? Are there some settings I nee to change on my phone before running it?
Thanks,
Sarah
Hello,
I have flashed my phone about a week ago and all is OK! Just do what Kies says and don't disconnect anything or turn ON/OFF while flashing Kies will do all the things for you. So don't be afraid and just hold your phone stronger in your hand and all would be just fine
Thanks for the reply mrwadim - so do you think the people who have had bricked phones out of it have done something like turn them on/off or something?
Did you have anything other than the default optus software on your phone when you updated through kies?

Installed Kies... Update process starts but Kies crashes. Anyone else have this issue? I'm currently trying to unroot to see if that makes a difference.
Edit: Exact issue is: MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working.
Does it regardless if I choose to backup or not the contacts and data.
Edit 2: Unroot changes nothing.
Edit 3: Doing a factory reset on the device doesn't help either. WTF?

Wonder if it'll be 2.2.1...
Ok so I just got back from writing an exam and will try to reinstall Kies. I tried 2 times to update through my computer this morning and once on my wife's PC (She has a Captivate as well)
All 3 attempts it says that Its downloaded the update but then it fails when it tries to install. Now remember I've not rooted or anything, so i think that there might be a newer version of kies or something...going to look now.
But anyways it tries to update it says a bunch of stuff like: You phone Jsomething1 and the update is supposed to be Jsomething2...I dont get it.
Remember I dont hack or mod phones in the slightest, so I have no clue what this J1 (mine) and the update of j2 is...?
The update is big though, takes a few minutes to download and I have a 16mps download speed...
Downloading this version of Kies and will try again:

I'm with Rogers with an AT&T Captivate (Rooted and Cognition 2.3b6). Will I be able to update my device to it? I much prefer the Rogers software than AT&T's. I don't care if I have to use Odin or erase everything.

Did you put your phone in Recovery mode like the first pop up is asking ? (Unplug usb cable from phone (not the computer), power off the phone, Hold vol up/down button and plug usb cable. You should now be in download mode (black/yellow screen with a shovelling droid)

Stock ROM from Rogers
No, not recovery mode.
PC runs W7-32 for what it's worth.
In the meantime, I did some research on the error I mentioned above.
It appears it's a very common issue with KIES.
There are a few workarounds.
So far, I tried the "SIM-out" method and it doesn't work for me.
Next, I'm trying the regedit method.
Will report on results.
@silvertag: your upgrade worked fine or you haven't tried yet?

Nowhere you have to check Kies server to know it's been released. There is still no confirmation from Rogers last i checked.

Yes it worked fine you HAVE to put the phone in download mode before you start downloading the update or it will fail at the upgrade part.
I noticed that it automagically started updating the firmware when I connected my sidekick to Kies. Should I update? Or will that prevent me from being able to root my phone?
From 1.0.0.11011_4 <--- Currently @

same here, is there a specific version of Kies that we need ? idk
Yeah just use the vibrant drivers and enabe usb debug mode.
The step by step guide on how to update your phone is on the first page of the thread titled "sidekick 4g."
Hmm, I'm interested in this.. any other input? I might hook mine up to see.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA app
for some reason when i put it in kies mode it says my device isn't supported (with debugging off) but when ever i turn usb debugging on it connects as mass storage with out an option for kies mode and then kies say my device isnt in the proper mode
Due to the lack of of an answer I am going to create a comprehensive tutorial on how to install the necessary drivers to recognize your device, and update it if so feel so inclined. It was actually extremely easy. This is going to be a video, and I am going to post it as a new thread.
To satisfy any curiosities I want to perform a full dump of this firmware before I update.
Theres my sorry attempt. The first time I uploaded it came out in 480p. I recorded it in 1080p so i deleted it and re upped it. Now when I re upload it it only comes out in 240. **** YOU YOUTUBE SUCK MY ****. I'm sorry this is the best I could do for tonight guys I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep, but I will try to help as much as possible tomorrow. If you really want to update your phone and need live step by step process stuff I'll throw out my phone number. I really DGAF

lol if im correct youtube takes some time to render and process the video before it can be watched in its best res. i can watch your video now in 720p i think you just had to give it some time lol so no stress. but thanks for the vid im checking it out now
okay.. i think this thread was a mistake or i read it wrong .
first off i wasnt connecting to kies correctly because i wasnt using samsung kies mini i was using samsung kies.
second the firmware update you are talking about was updating your version of kies it wasnt updating your phone. the version of kies mini that you say to download in the video wasnt the latest kies mini so it updated when you first opened it (same for myself) now that its updated and i have kies open it says there is no upgrade available for my device.
if by some chance kies did update your phone check to see if the build is still KD1 , if it isnt then your phone was upgraded. not likely though
hope this helps and no need to get a dump if your still on stock, but thanks still.
does anyone know how to use the emergency firmware recovery feature in KIES? it seems to ask for some kind of code. I was wondering if by any chance this could be a way to restore your phone to factory stock?

Use the 1 clik uninstaller by blu. Works like a dream, just tried it today =)
So there is an update firmware? Anyone tried it? There are several issues with the phone and if there really is an update I am curious as to what has been remedied.
I Am curious if they stopped the new firmware update. On Friday I exchanged my 16g for a 32g and when I was setting it up on Saturday it said update available but when I tried to get it it was gone. I had gotten the update on the 16g before switching it so I wanted to check if it was pulled for some reason.
Thx
I currently have UEALGB
I saw in the thread about rooting the 10.1 mention of it being pulled. You can always try to update via Kies (you'll have to download Kies PC if you haven't already), but I imagine if it was pulled that won't work either.
