The update is very nice and sleek, i think i will run it for a while and see what comes up next. The froyo ROMS in the past ran just as good in my opinion but at least we finally got this official update.

I am an idiot when it comes to things like this, but I am smart enough to come here and find out what one of you brilliant guys has to say about this. I am also having the unregistered device issue. I am using stock Jl6 and I also have my USB settings showing "ask on connection" I also tried the removing the sd card trick I read in another forum. Anyone know what would be causing this???
 
I'm having the same problem as you Tank. Don't bother contacting Samsung customer support, they're about as helpful as a sack of potatoes.

Convo with Samsung:

Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Vick'

Vick: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hi, I'm having a problem with Kies mini. In the firmware version slot it says unregistered device. I'm not sure what I could do about that.
Visitor: I'm on a samsung vibrant T959
Vick: I understand that you are unable to connect to Kies mini, am I correct?
Visitor: Right.
Vick: Thank you for confirming.
Vick: I apologize for the inconvenience.
Vick: Just to confirm, may I know the exact error message while you connect the phone?
Visitor: It just says that my device is unregistered in the firmware version slot.
Visitor: I understand there is an update available for my brand of phone and because of this I can't download it.
Vick: Thank you for confirming.
Vick: Just to confirm, did you register the phone with Samsung Website?
Visitor: Just did, about 5 minutes ago.
Vick: Just to confirm, did you register using Serial number or IMEI number?
Visitor: The IMEI number.
Vick: Just to confirm, are you able to login to Samsung using the phone?
Visitor: On the Samsung website through the phone?
Vick: I'm sorry. Not on the phone on the website.
Visitor: Yes, I am logged in right now.
Vick: Just to confirm, did you receive any notification on the phone regarding the update?
Visitor: No, it's an update through Kies mini that everyone seems to be receiving for Froyo 2.2. Everyone besides me and a few others, and the common denominator as to why we aren't getting it is because of the unregistered device problem.
Vick: I'm sorry. I see that yo may update only if you receive any notification on the phone. You need to tap on the notification to update the firmware on the phone.

This statement is only true for the OTA update. You may update with Mini Kies without notification. Mine updated just fine using Mini Kies and I received NO notification.

Yeah, that much I know. Which is why I X'ed out the window when the rep sent me that.

Kies sucks :-\.
 
Well whoever can get the update through samsung kies, ENJOY!!!.... I guess ill have to wait till they release the OTA in my area... :-X!!!



TANK OUT..!!!!!
 
Gave it one more go. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it, then restarted. IT WORKED!! Guys keep trying, it should work sooner or later. Make sure you're downloading the right version of Kies. It has to be the vibrant version.

@Tank, you are using the captivate version. Not sure if it makes a diff, but worth a try.

How long does it take from the "S" screen? My "S" screen came up, went away, now it's blank.... still loading Froyo? Phone is vibrating every now and then and the 4 home key's are lit up. Is this normal?

The "S" stayed up for about 2 minutes on mine.
 
Mini kies isnt working for me either. All it did when i plugged in teh phone was tell me to select Samsung Kies in USB section on the phone, but after that it does nothing. Just sits on its opening screen telling me to please connect mobile phone.

This process is funny how they cant get their shit together.

Try starting the program on the PC then connect the phone and when the USB menu pops up on the phone select Kies (firmware update) where you get the 3 choices.
 
I had flashed back to stock with ODIN and tried to use Mini Kies to update. Talk about a nightmare. I'm pretty sure that the ROM is a good one, but trying to get Kies to play nice with Windows and having all sorts of driver issues bricked my phone. Just a shoddy interface and WAY too big of a PITA to even bother with. Oh well.
 
just got the update, didn't have debugging enabled just keis option clicked when I plug in the usb cable, you are so right about hanging on the Galaxy S for long time, thought I was done!!! Yikes almost had tmobile on the phone again with land line as they were the ones today to send me to get the update.. so far so good once it finally got past the splash screen, it changed my desktop settings on the phone back to some original defaults and I had to reduce again the number of screens I use and take some of the junk off the home screens that I don't want there. We'll see, hoping for the best. Love this forum btw, thanks for all the good tips and tricks. Learning by lurking here. Thanks
