Unregistered Device on Mini Kies
- Thread starter SCjRqrQCnBQ19QoYCtdl

I registered mine in May 2011, but it also still shows unregistered on Mini Kies. I was on the phone with Samsung last night and the rep "registered" my device. He did say, though, it could take up to 48 hours for the registration to show on Mini Kies. I'll keep checking back to see when (or if) it shows.
Hope they`re right Eg?dio, thats what they told me online last night too. Checked this morning ,still nothing.
Mine says "unregistered" as well but I just did so yesterday morning. From what I've read, it sounds like more of an issue of the "yuck1" version than a registration issue. Have there been any reports of someone on "yuck1" and being able to update.
OR, maybe the two issues are related. Is there anyone on "yuck1" that shows registered?
At any rate, if it does have something to do with registration then that will definitely put Samsung at blame for all this mess. I can think of very few products that I have HAD to register. That is just INSANE.

HOLY cow the GTG unbrick Fn works. This is the ONLY way to update, if you did the november update. I struggled with this update for 3 days. Used GTG and now Im almost done updating to GB..
You have to register on Samsung site. I thought I had but it was for a TV and an old phone. After I registered I got email confirming in about 30 min. Had to go to work but assume when I get home MiniKies will work and phone will upgrade. We shall see. Some folks saying it won't upgrade if you installed the maintainence upgrade. It was so much easier with WebOS!
I used Odin back to stock, and it did work for me. I was no longer getting "unregistered device" and the button to upgrade was available. However, instead of upgrading, I decided just to go ahead with a custom ROM because I don't wont to go without Root and I don't like some of the changes the upgrade makes - such as losing sound/silent toggle on notification drop down.
So I installed ZEUS from XDA site. After some initial problems caused by me, it is working great. The notification shade is super - it has like 18 toggles and you can chose which to include and in what order.
Otherwise very smooth. I am happy.
But good luck to all that are still struggling with the Samsung update.

Still getting unregistered. I am registered as confirmed by an e-mail from Samsung. I downloaded Kies and got the unregistered notice. Finally got on with Samsung Chat and they told be Windows 7 64 is the problem. You have to use 32 bit Windows (which is so insane) , so I went to my lap top with 32 bit windows and went through the whole process again, and still got the same message.
Since there seems to be no official Samsung fix, even though I don't know what all the programs everyone here is talking about, I will try them!

I have the same problem with the unregistered device. I just got off a chat with Samsung and Spencer told me that a factory reset would solve the problem via the option in the phone before I do that I was wondering if anyone else tried the same thing with success?

I actually did a factory restore on my phone a couple of days before the update came out (didnt know it was coming) but it does not show for me the upgrade button, greyed out for me.
Okay thanks for the info I am going to try it since it sounds like if I want the update I will loose all my data no matter what.
Samsung Tech has no idea... After trying on and off all day, I still have no Gingerbread. Still have "unregistered" and greyed out box. 1st tech said Minikies won't work with Windows 7 64 bit, so I used my 32 bit version on my laptop. Still nothing. 2rd tech said its not the version of Windows, it's the version of MiniKies so they sent a link and I loaded in again, but still get same error. 3rd tech said I need to wait 24 hours after registering for it to show up (it's been 2 days, I have e-mail confirming registration and the phone shows up on my Samsung account page) So half a day gone and no upgrade.
Yes, that is exactly my experience as well. I didn't actually try the reps suggestions because I didn't believe them. Glad you did, confirming my beliefs (was going to try 32 bit system but didn't have one easily available). Rummor has it a OTA update will be available on 2/8 if you believe that.
The problem I'm having right now is that Kies mini just stays on the home screen after I connect my Infuse to my PC. When I connect my phone to my PC, I select "Kies (Firmware update)" on my phone, but nothing happens. The drivers are install for the device so I haven't got a clue whats going on.
I've been looking everywhere for that rumor to see if it's true, but I could not find it anywhere. Yes, it is on Wikipedia, which is an accurate source (people underestimate that, sadly), but I sure could use more sources. Add that to the fact that whoever wrote about the rumor didn't add any citations, and you've gotten yourself up into a tirade thirsting for the knowledge of when exactly or if that OTA patch will come and whether or not we'll ever get Gingerbread.
I'm hoping for the best, that the OTA update will be out by 2/8 and that we will get Gingerbread.
I'm pretty sure AT&T and Samsung both know that most every Infuse user has been waiting for an excessive amount of time for Gingerbread, given that they have received countless posts on Facebook about when the Infuse will get it. So the two companies will likely work together to fix the "unregistered device" problems and (depending on the validity of the rumors) release a patch to fix the problem.
The bottom line of what I'm saying here is that the rumor must come true so that anyone who had problems getting Gingerbread (I'm one of them) will be able to get it.
I've had that annoying issue too many times as well. I know how you feel about that.
You need to uninstall ANY and ALL drivers that installed when you first connected your phone to the computer. First, uninstall Kies mini.
Assuming that you did that a VERY long time ago, it could be hard to find those drivers. But look in your device manager window and look for anything that has "Samsung" and/or "Android" in the names of the devices listed. Uninstall and delete all the driver software (click "Delete the driver software for this device" when asked for confirmation to uninstall) associated with Samsung and Android.
Now, download Kies mini from SAMSUNG and reinstall it. When prompted, connect the phone to your computer and wait for drivers to install.
You might have better luck with this than I did. If it does not work, the only option is to either have some kind of advanced software program remove any Samsung drivers or reinstall Windows. The latter worked for me when I had the problem (I of course tried reinstalling the drivers and Kies mini multiple times before reinstalling Windows).
I hate how it doesn't work properly if you have drivers already installed when you install the software. It should detect if you already have them installed and remove all of them if there were any. Then it could install new drivers, or at least start fresh.
Well after a day of trouble shootong with the Samsung rep & after a full factory reset. The rep told me that I'll need to call and get my Infuse replaced or I could use the GTG ultimate unbricking but it kinda scares me since I'm not the most techy guy. Anyways my Infuse also had the problem charging issue too so I guess I'll get two birds with one stone.
I went back to stock last night and I still couldnt update. Im just gonna keep froyo. In fact all my apps were force closing so i went to device management and tried to download uckh5 update and it kept failing. So and I backed up all my photos onto my computer and factories restored my device because it was just all screwed up. After I factory restored I went back to device management and downloaded the november update over the air and I am still at froyo. Kies mini sucks ass

Im not a techie..but I used the GTG utility and in about 10 minutes I had the update ready to install. Piece of cake. I did have to do a factory reset afterwards though because of an avalanch of force closes. Now with everything reloaded, this phone flies and the GPS functions beautifully.
