Hi all,
I am unable to get Kies to recognise my galaxy s (when in Kies mode) or windows for that matter. I've tried installing the samsung usb drivers etc using the latest version of kies, still doesn't work.
What options do I have now in terms of firmware flashing? (I'm not installing 32bit xp just to flash my phone)
Cheers
if you search the forums you will find your answer, which will be along the line sof using Odin, very easy to use, so good luck and enjoy.
win7-64bit and kies connection semi-working method
I've tried almost all methods mentioned on different forums...but since i'm unwilling to mess to much around i've opted for this way:
using latest kies 1.5.3. 80something... on win7 64 bit..
remove the lockpattern from the phone if yo uhave it enabled
install kies...remove the kies autostart option and the kies trayagent
do the repair drivers and reboot
ones the bios screen is done..have the phone unlocked and connect to pc/laptop
wait and wait some more after login to windows..
one most occasions windows will finally tell you it have a new device ready for you...then open kies and life is good.. at least until like in my case the laptop goes into powersave mode and the connections are broken and I have to do the reboot step again
the firmware update from jf__ something to jm__ something was a hassle...but after a few attempts to run it the darn thing finally worked..
hope this helps
thanks for the help b, tried it but didn't work
I think the official word from samsung is that kies does not support windows 7 64.
Seriously regret ever getting this phone.

i am with win7 x64, fine here
using odin to flash rom is dam easy job.
Kies updated to _82 today.
the _82 update fixed closing the firmware updater for me that was in the last 2 builds on win7 x64 , it promptly closes having not used up more than 33mb ram when I click cancel or close after checking for new firmware, previously it billowed up to over 1300mb use and really flawed my system until it, kies and the connection manager were terminated fully.

try the new PC Studio software for SGS
download link and detailed info on SGS wiki, click my link
1. Download ChevronWP7.cer. Send as an attachment to your e-mail account on WP7-HD2. Install it.
2. Install sdk developer tools
3. Install Zune and establish a connection with HD2.
4. Download and run ChevronWP7
5. Download and run tom xap installer
6. From now on, you just need to double click on your downloaded .xap apps, to install them to HD2.
With Windows Phone 7 Marketplace for Windows PC v1.4, you can search and download free apps.
Note 1: if .xap app install gives an error, re-run ChevronWP7 to unlock WP7.
Note 2: make sure your HD2 DOESN'T go to sleep (ultramag69).
Thanks for that,
I an new to this, does the device need to be activated in order to install xap apps? I am on a HD2 WP7 which is not yet activated and I am not planning to anyway.
Thanks.
I don't understand why you'd do this considering that Microsoft will simply revoke the applications.

yes,you must jailbreak your HD2,then you can follow these steps to deploy the XAPs.
Good Luck!
By the way,your operation system better be Win7.
Yes its win7, I went ahead and gave it a try impatiently , I followed all the steps from the cert to the xap installer, all goes fine, but when I click a xap file I downloaded it says its not a valid win32 application.
Anyways, is jailbreak possible without having to call microsoft for an activation code?
Thanks for the replies by the way.
No activation or key needed, nor connection to the Market.
it stopped
hi
everything went ok i installed youtube and hearts with xap ffiles
after these two i couldnt no more
it freezes when its installing????
pls help
Hmm... I don't know what it could be. Try to disconnect the HD2 and re-connect it to the computer. You probably will have to run Chevron again, to unlock WP7.

me too, i have the same problem. im using win7 x64. pls help
You need to make sure your HD2 DOESN'T go to sleep. If it does it causes major problems. You need to go settings>wallpaper and lock to change.
I found that Tom's installer was throwing up error messages about the phone being pin locked, it wasn't, when it went to sleep.
Hope this helps...
Gonna add your suggestion to the tutorial!
I followed all the 6 steps .
but when I come to install the app the following massege appear
please make sure its connected using usb ....
please start the Zune application..
??????????
Have you installed Zune and made sure Zune was recognising HD2 and connected to it?

Me too... :\ I love WP7, but it have very few good free apps in store. If I will not find a way to unlock it, I will definitely go back to Android... It is a pity, because I really love minimalistic and unbelievably ergonomic WP7 interface.
When I try to open Kies on my PC I get the following message. "Cannot set Owner property to a Window that has not been shown previously"
This problem has only started today and I had not done anything to course it.
I have tried reinstalling Kies but I still get the same message.
Any help will be thankful for.
are you using Windows 7 ?? try to run KIES as administrator, if that fails, try running in compatibility mode, like xp or summit.
weird problem, also check you have latest version
Yes Windows 7. I always run a administrator. Have downloaded latest Kies since this problem started.
Anyway thanks for your help.
I don't know what happened but all of a sudden Kies is now working again.
My thanks to those who looked in. I just hope that it stays working OK.
windows 7 has that problem for me to..
Hi there, I'm new here. Did alot of reading on rooting etc. Very helpfull.
I basically downloaded the latest version of Samsung Kies today (for future updates), but the program will not startup. I uninstalled/reinstalled a couple of times but after I double click on the icon, windows (7) loads for a couple of seconds and then nothing happens.
After like 2 minutes or so something like a start screen appears out of the blue and disappears after another 2 minutes. Nothing happens after that.
In the task manager Kies and KiesTrayAgent appear in the processes list (not in the application list) though.
I tried to run them both (and even the ConnectionManager that pops up on it's own after I try to open Kies) as admin AND in compatibility (hope I spelled that right) mode but that doesn't work. When I select the ConnectionManager to run as admin only and then try to open Kies, the following appears:
http ://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/Ismarovic/error.jpg (can't post images yet, remove gap after the http in the link and paste)
I tried searching everywhere, but I just can not find a solution anywhere.
Can anyone help?
Sorry for the bad English.
Cheers!
edit: I do have a Note btw, that's why I posted here.
Anyone please?
Thanks!
What version of Kies are you using?? Try another version(Maybe one step down to latest).
Try opening the software without connecting the phone...

SAMSUNG Kies v2.2.0.12014_18_8 is the latest version. I tried installing previous versions and then I get a Runtime Error display or something.
I never tried opening Kies with my Note connected to the computer.

Then give it a shot with your note connected!! (That wont make much of a difference as Kies in not initializing properly, but you never know )
Just wanted to know has it ever worked for you on this computer??
It can be an OS issue as well, can you try on a different machine??
Cause once I was getting issues with Kies on my Dell Inspiron, so tried it on another machine and the same installation file worked perfectly for me.
I did an OSRI on my Dell Inspiron and the same installer worked for me on Inspiron as well.
So in that case it was Windows OS to be blamed, so first try to install the same latest installer on another win7 machine and see if it works!!
Then take it from there!!
Click Thanks if it Helped!!

Didn't work with the Note connected.
And I want to use Kies for the first time so I never tried it before on my pc. And I'm pretty sure Kies works on other systems because there are alot of people using it without a problem hehe. Unfortunately I don't have a laptop or something.
I mean I could download and install in on another system that's not mine, but the whole point is that I want to use it on my own pc. I know there has to be a way to fix it.
Thanks anyway .
Delete KIES, both program as install file. Run Ccleaner (or any other registry cleaner). Download KIES again (maybe you just had a flawed download). Reinstall and try again.

I did everything you said, but no luck . Thanks anyway!!
I guess OSRI should help cause you are getting some runtime errors as well, even some missing dll's.....that can work!!

OSRI means Operating System Re-installation!! Wiping the OS off and re-installing it again..
No problem in being a noob, but google is always there to help you out mate so next time first google!!

Yeah I guess that would do the job. I installed KIES on my parents laptop and it works fine, so I guess I'll stick to that, only thing is I have to travel like an hour or so lol. I don't think it's worth to do a full OSRI just for KIES or maybe I'm just lazy, but at least I have access to the program.
Thanks for your help!!

Edit:
worked with windows, after downloading over 500mb of whatever ...
Hi, (i tried to find something on this topic, but no luck ...)
I'm right now not at home, but saw the update and downloaded it. When i try to apply it, it says "f*** off, do it when you are home again"
Since i don't use Windows that often and i'm not familiar with the LG tools, is it possible to update the phone anyway?
Thanks.
