thanks a million 4 being interested...... I have posted my question there n havent gotten a favourable reply..... Well i will try again 2 update with kies n leave it 4 as long aspossible n if nothing happens, then i guess i will hv 2 do a hard reset n try again...... I really dont want 2 use odin as someone suggested in d forum..... Even though i formatted my sgs, i still see all ,y application icons but cant use a whole lot of them cos their program files arent there..... When i try again and i cant update and i do a factory reset n still cant update..... I will definitely let u know

just decided to show u some of the screen shots of my kies and the screen i get stuck up in

i have finally done a factory reset and am still facing the same problem ................i think its just hard luck.........
well, something funny i thought after a factory reset the phone was gonna go back 2 its original state..........i dont think i remember seeing that superuser icon when i bought the phone...........does that mean am still rooted cos i still see d superuser icon...........maybe i need 2 unroot then if am still rooted?????????? what is the best way to unroot ............am just confused

ouch!!!! your phone rooted?¿?¿?ensure you because if you have the device rooted you can´t update via kies...
i seen your screenshots and the firmware that you have seems the factory WEE OFFICIAL RUU for SGS. seems well for to update it
for to know if you have your device rooted..
1--download TERMINAL EMULATOR
2--put in the terminal emulator (write):
"su" (enter)
then your device may to turn to you a warn of superuser permission and you must to acept... then the blue console shoult return to you "#"
ensure of it please and post
EDITid you buy the telephone new Or you did someone sell it? if you was buy the device new, its imposible that its rooted

Thanks again i think ama try n unroot it but i just hp i can do that d software u r talking about, does it unroot????? So u mean i cant update thru kies if am rooted?

Try using a different computer. I could not get it to work on Vista but my old Xp computer did it with no problems

Thanks again i think ama try n unroot it but i just hp i can do that d software u r talking about, does it unroot????? So u mean i cant update thru kies if am rooted?

maybe it´s the better solution because if you are SURE about you have the factory official rom, unrooted and another security of the device not disabled its strange that don´t obtain permission for to flash

First... Are you retarded?Speak English as you has already been said.For phone-check APN settings.And if you don`t know what APN is,search forums... Don`t start another new thread.

Welcome to the internet. Make sure you've got the correct baseband set for where ever you're from. Also check to see if your APN settings are correct for the company that you pay for cell phone service. The baseband change can be done through recovery, personally I am currently using FuFu's open recovery which has the option on the main menu.
Post back if you need more help.

I think you should use factory reset to be back the stock rom - i mean the original rom, then you can reflash a custom ROM: MIUI or CM7. Please use OpenRecovery for flashing a custom ROM, it is easy for you. you can search in the forum to know how-to

@shalom06: try to write normal english please. okay, you are 15 years old, but i dont think they are teaching you sms-english in school
it doesnt have to be perfect (i`m far from that, too), but it must be human-readable!

yaa....i get wat u mean ....i am sorry..i cant do a reset .....cause the phone boots directly into recovery ....dosent power up

It once happens to me, I couldn´t open webpages but I still can use other non-web services like facebook app, gmail, market... if is that your case is just the apn, the one who came for my carrier by default is wrong and I have to edit it anytime I make a data wipe, I hast take that on care because I use market access (like market enabler) before opening market and I wasn’t able to find my apn settings, only the one for t-mobile, and I fingered out by causality

Try to reformat sd card and do hard reset... You can do hard reset in recovery too.

i did a reset ..but afta dat i directly go to the recovery cant boot de phone up

Hi, try to flash the GOT 2.2.1 SBF or the eclair sbf through RSD Lite. There are threads that explain how to to this at the top of the motorola milestone android development page. then get Androidani Recovery or any other Recovery that has an option of changing baseband, then apply the appropriate baseband for your carrier from the OR (Open Recovery) and reboot. This should work perfectly. Good luck
-Mosh

Do you have a nandroid of when the phone was connecting to internet? one with the default rom when you bought it? or may be a friend?, you could try that

Do you mean to say it boots you directly into bootloader, or into recovery?
Have you tried getting into Bootloader mode?
If not hold the up key on the directional pad while turning the phone on. If that works you can get RSD lite and flash it with a stock .SBF from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone
Also side note Remember to always make a nandroid when flashing custom roms ect.

what kind of rom do u use? b/c i got same thing too, but, u have to use the right theme that match to the rom version. also, your phone need to restart all over again back to stock rom, then, flash the rom again, etc., and last, the theme.

sounds like you have flashed a rom that is not compatable with your kernel. You may have to flash the correct kernel.
Also, the rom you flashed may be for unlocked bootloaders and you havent unlocked yours yet (Just a guess, but I bet you havent).
Flash this to get back to stock

sorry for reply .. but its like never ending loading circle ..

Stock are not so stock...
It seems that all the stock roms available for our HTC Pico are modded. They are not official. Most of the apps are buggy and some dont even work. The most irritating part is the loudspeaker which just turns on and never turns off! So irritating!

Zips are closest to stock as can be, Ruu's are stock roms, difference is that jaggy made those zips so returning back to stock is easyer, you can always use ruu, but downside is that you'll have to lock your bootloader, about the loudspeaker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812624&page=6 the second post here have loudspeaker fix, I'm not sure will it work with stock roms but it should.

I have managed to get a hold of the 1.17.110.1 RUU. Send me a pm and i will give you the link

Then give me an address where I can take this ICS 4.0.4 without bugs. because I saw someone wrote something like this software was repaired .. or give me an address with the software that you have on the phone . .

You should read the development threads.
Some stuff are fixed some not.
Read and decide what you wanna do.

Try japoninja rom it's X bsalls ported with some fixes, and you can't requests for links and development like that, many noobs done it before, and just pissed the developers, to the point they don't wanna do nothing more. Don't be lazy and read prior to post and do requests.
