I figured it out!
I went to a blank computer and installed the T-Mobile Apps from scratch then the first thing I did after the reboot from the ActiveSync install...was rand the ROM upgrader (CUSTOM_RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe)
....PRESTO.....
What I saw was the driver used when the phone goes into the Boot Loader screen (RED, GREEN, BLUE). It stated "USB Device" as the driver was loading in Windows XP...after it stated device ready to be used....it started!
I would suggest unistalling ActiveSync and reinstalling it from the T-Mobile Disc....this should work!
PM me if you have any problems.
Hi, I had this same problem after a bad flash. couldn't get ActiveSync to connect, Thought phone was F***ed, Got it going again tho
What I did was search the forun for file mtty
1) download and run. Must turn off A/S connect via usb first
2) When mtty rund it asks for a port. Select usb
3) Click ok, press enter on next screen then type "SET 14 0" press enter
4) Close this program and re enable A/S connect via usb
5) Re Flash with Rom File and it all went ok for me.
Note all my phone would do when Reset (Hard or Soft) was give the three colour screen
This is just an updated version of deadnex's original guide, with a few things thrown in from various people who have found what works and what doesn't.
This guide has been used and tested as effective with the windows 7 rc 7100 build.
Step 1 - Go here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx and download Windows 7. You can get a key from the same place, so don't worry about not having a key.
In the event that the servers aren't offering the download {due to server issues} you can download a current version through a torrent site. I recommend mininova as it's the most legitimate of the bunch.
To get a key for windows 7 (32bit) (if you downloaded it through a torrent site), go to this address https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/productkeys/win7-32/enus/default.aspx
(64bit)
https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/productkeys/win7-64/enus/default.aspx
To clarify this part, you're setting up a usb flash drive or usb card reader and sd card to work as an installation drive for windows 7. I've followed these steps exactly, and found them to be completely accurate. They work, so do each step, and make sure to keep track of your steps so as not to miss one.
Thanks to deadnex for all of this information.
USB-install:
User feedback suggests that doing this next part should be done on a computer running windows vista. In winXP, your usb drive might not show up during the process.
edit (before step 1, create a folder on your main computer called windows7. Don't do this on your shift, and it's recommended to use c:\windows7\ to make the process easier. If you use another location to extract the files to, make sure to remember which directory it is, and adjust the steps of this tutorial to your own location.)
1 - Open the windows7 Iso file with winrar, and extract all the files into C:\WINDOWS7\ (or the folder you created as mentioned above)
2 - Open command prompt in administrator mode (start - all programs - accessories - (right click) Command Prompt and select run as administrator.
3 - Then type these commands without the - and press enter after each :
- CD\
- DISKPART
- LIST DISK
- SELECT DISK X ( X is the memory stick disk number you got from LIST DISK)
- CLEAN (CAUTION; THIS WILL ERASE ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE SELECTED DISK)
- CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
- SELECT PARTITION 1
- ACTIVE
- FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK
- ASSIGN
- EXIT
- XCOPY C:\WINDOWS7\*.* /S /E /F U:\ (U:\ is the name of usb drive you are using for your install, if your drive has another letter, which is most likely, of course put in your own) (after *.* and after each letter preceded by / there's a space!)
OPTIONAL- Include an extra folder on your windows7 usb drive called drivers, and put all the drivers in there that you'll need to get windows 7 running smooth. Drivers are listed just a little further down on the page, so before completing the next step, go there and get the drivers.
WARNING- THIS WILL ERASE YOUR VISTA AND REPLACE IT WITH WINDOWS 7. THIS IS IT!!! Don't worry, win7 rc 7100 is far better anyway. Just to be safe though, backup your personal data before continuing to the next step.
[edit] With a little use and time, I've come to find that windows 7 has a great amount of compatibility issues with certain games. Although I've only had the chance to try a few, there seems to be a trend with win7 being unable to run a lot of older, but still 3d, games. Warcraft 3, and Dungeon Keeper 2, to be more specific. If you're not a gamer, it shouldn't matter, and Windows 7 is still the best choice for you. If you do like to play games, you might want to reconsider changing to windows 7. [edit]
Restart your computer, at startup push FN+F10, and choose your usb drive.
This will take you to the installer, select your language, timezone, and keyboard layout. Next.
In summary, you're going to select Custon (advanced) in the windows 7 installation process, and some card readers (sd to usb) don't work.
This will not affect your HTC SHIFT Vista recovery partition but it will remove Vista itself from your shift. Your settings from Vista will not be carried over to Windows 7.
_________________________________________________________________
DRIVER DOWNLOADS AND INSTALLATION.
Well, once you're through all that, you should be looking at your new windows 7 shift. Now's the fun part! Driver installation!
Go to this link, and download all of the drivers. (10 in total)
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=60&cat=1&dl_id=82
Putting these files on the same flash drive as your windows 7 install makes matters much easier for this time and next time should you need to try again. I also recommend copying and pasting the installation order from the htc site in a notepad or wordpad file and putting that in the same folder as your drivers. That way, when it's time to install your drivers, you can open that file, and use it as a reference to ensure you have the order correct. Chances are that your shift won't connect to the net, right after the win7 installation.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
INSTALL EACH DRIVER IN THE ORDER THAT HTC HAS LISTED ON THEIR DRIVER DOWNLOADS PAGE. DO THIS OR FACE TOTAL DEATHKILL!!! actually, you'll just have driver issues, but that SUCKS!
After many people have responded, I wish to remind everyone. Install all the drivers. INSTALL ALL THE DRIVERS. Install all the drivers. Yes, I said that three times. Although your shift seems to work, when only installing a few, the fact is, drivers like the synaptics touchpad driver also control other parts of your shift, like the two face bottons above the touch pad. If you install one driver, and skip one in between, you mess up the order of installation that is so important, and then force yourself to need an entire wipe and reinstallation of win 7. So, one more time, INSTALL ALL THE DRIVERS FROM HTC.
One more important thing to know about the drivers is, DON'T LET WINDOWS RESET AFTER INSTALLING EACH DRIVER, select RESTART LATER AFTER INSTALLING EACH DRIVER. I REPEAT, INSTALL ALL DRIVERS (IN ORDER) BEFORE RESTARTING WINDOWS.
IMPORTANT When you've finished installing your drivers but still need to restart to take effect, go to your display settings (right click the desktop) and select a non aero theme. save settings after that. Windows 7 Basic is a non aero theme and it looks good. If you leave Aero enabled, your shift will blue screen of death crash when it boots into high res mode.
Windows 7 can not run Aero in high res on the shift. (for now, at least)
When you install the drivers – beware that you have to install them with Vista Compatibility mode enabled and run as Administrator. Right-click the driver setup file – click the Compatibility tab – select Windows Vista and mark “run this file as Administrator”
To save yourself a headache, copy and paste the following list into a wordpad file and place it in the same directory as your driver downloads. Putting this list in the same directory on your win7 flash card means that you can open it on your shift after installing win7 and use it as a reference when installing your drivers. Keep it all together.
EACH DRIVER IS 100% IMPORTANT AND NEEDED, DO NOT SKIP DRIVERS, EVEN IF THAT DEVICE SEEMS TO BE WORKING ALREADY. SKIPPING THE TOUCHPAD DRIVER MEANS THAT THE RESOLUTION AND COMM CENTER BUTTONS DON'T WORK. SKIPPING THE SOUND DRIVER MEANS THAT CERTAIN APPS WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO BLUE SCREEN. SKIPPING THE VIDEO DRIVERS MEANS THAT CERTAIN APPS WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO BLUE SCREEN.
DON'T SKIP DRIVERS.
Here's the order.
a. VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014
b. Intel VGA driver(7[1].14.10.1461)
c. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10
d. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)
e. Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1)
f. Realtek Audio Driver R197(6[1].0.1.5653)
g. Vitakey _AC5023_Fingerprint AP v5[1].0.2.0 and Driver v7.10.1.0 *
h. Extension Kit USBLanDriver(3[1].8.3.7)
i. Shagctrl_1[1].2.6.122-control center
j. Marvell WiFi driver(8[1].114.123.139)
This next part was contributed by Thaihugo. Thank you a ton for this contribution Thaihugo .
To connect the Windows Mobile (your Shift's other OS) side to the PC side of your Shift, run USB Tools in the windows mobile side. If nothing happens, go to your settings (still in mobile)- Connections, then click on "USB to PC". Uncheck the "Enable advanced network functionality and wait at least 5 minutes to see if it connects (you must enable the port in USB tools first). Another note, some roms, for the wm side of shift, don't include the internet sharing app. If you can't find it, you've got a crap rom, and you should follow a guide which will allow you to put a real rom on it.
Make sure you are connected to the internet on win7 side (using wifi for example) to download WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center).
If WMDC doesn't load, plug another pocket pc into the shift's usb port while running windows7 and it will download , or if you don't have another pocket pc lying around, download it manually from Microsoft.
Also, after this setup, the Snapvue side might turn off and not turn on again. In this case, reset under vista side using the HTC tools, and go to the power settings (long click or right click on the battery icon in the bottom right of your desktop). Disable all the "turn device off after x min" settings and make sure to click ok to make the changes effective.
Again, a big huge thanks to deadnex for originally posting the steps to this process. And thanks to everyone else who contributed to a better running shift via windows 7.
Caid.

You forgot to specify that drivers must be installed with Vista Compatibility mode enabled and run as Administrator
Everythnig works fine for me untill.. I boot from usb go to "install now". And then ...
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing.If you have a driver floppy disk,CD,DVD or USB flash drive please insert it now.
Note: If the windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step"
I go to browse and then " No device drivers were found.Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK".
I'm completly lost help..
thanks for the reminder.
weird, list disk doesn't list my usb flash drive but lists all my other hard drives. what am i doing wrong?
You are probably under Windows XP. Try a vista computer or another computer for this operation.
Caid444, you can upgrade your guide with the following info:
To connect the Windows Mobile side to the PC, use the USB tools. If nothing happens, go to settings, Connections then click on "USB to PC". Uncheck the "Enable advanced network functionality and wait at least 5 minutes to see if it connects (you must enable the port in USB tools).
Make sure you are connected to internet on vista side (using wifi for example) to download WMDC.
If WMDC doesn't load, plug in another pocket pc using the USB port, or download it manually.
Also, after this setup, the Snapvue side might turn off and never turn on. In this case, reset under vista side using the HTC tools, and go to the power settings (long click on the battery icon). Disable all the "turn device off after x min".
Thanks for your description. It looks good. Only onr thing let me bluescreen
my Shift. Whenever I install Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1) my Device ended with a bluescreen. I tried a newer Version from the website, but no way, same result. Does anybody understand why? Does someone found out same?

You're right. it's all good though, i used MBRWIZ to take care of that minor setback. I can boot Windows 7 thru a USB drive now. I'm still on the fence about it, i have Vista Ultimate on my Shift right now. From your experience will Win 7 be drastically better?

Please, is there anybody who can help me resolve my problem? I tried lots of times by nothing works..I'm reading all these positive comments about win7 and I can't wait to have them on my shift.. I can see the usb, I browse there to the folder I have the drivers but can't install them.
Thank you in advance
This is for those who've encountered problems.
Start the whole process over again. I didn't make the guide clear enough when I first posted this thread. It's clearer now. The symantec drivers are probably fine, you're probably crashing because windows aero is still enabled, and it is crashing your shift whenever it tries to switch to high res mode. Disable aero.
As for apop, you need to install via the second option, not the first. I got the same error when I selected the first install option when I booted into the windows 7 installer. This method will completely remove vista as the main os and put it in another folder. As a precaution, I recommend backing up personal documents that are stored in any windows sub directory. *word documents and the likes.
Anything outside of your windows directory, or on the main hard drive itself should remain after the install, but I only did this process once with extra stuff on the drive (it stayed).
Back it up, and do a fresh install.
Caid.

Thanks for your anser Caid. I just don't have an external DVD.. Is it impossible to go through 1st way? I have read that some people managed to do it this way..
You mean via a usb flash drive? That's how I did it. Follow the steps for the usb flash drive method, but when you boot it on your shift and you have the option to do a custom or express install, do the custom install.

Yes, I'm using a usb card reader and sd card. I don't have two options (custom/express). Just one "install now"..
P.S. Thanks for your interest in my case.
ok
After you select "install now" there'll be a license agreement. After that there'll be a choice between two install options. You need to choose the second one.
Caid.
Can someone explain to me how to set up a cellular internet connection through windows 7? I've got the sim card inside, the phone recognizes it, but I don't know how to get it working through win7, I used control center to enable modem, but still no luck. This is really annoying.

SnapView Turn's and WM7 too ... the screen goes off
Hi, I completed the W7 installation successfully. I even got to conect SnapView with W7 this time. I say this time because with the previous Wm7 guide I wasn't able to do it.
Anyway, now my screen is blank for WM and W7. In fact I have to press the on switch to get the W7 screen back. Once I have W7 working I need to reset Snapview throught the Shift Control Centre to get it going. Finally Snapview / WM comes on. However it lasts on for a few minutes and then the screen is off again. W7 will last for a few minutes more and the same will happen. I then need to press the sliding switch again. The W7 screen will turn on back to normal (the OS doesn't actually turn off but just the screen); however, WM doesn't turn on (in this case it's the screen and WM itself). I then need to repeat the resetting process again.
I did do this:
"
Also, after this setup, the Snapvue side might turn off and not turn on again. In this case, reset under vista side using the HTC tools, and go to the power settings (long click or right click on the battery icon in the bottom right of your desktop). Disable all the "turn device off after x min" settings and make sure to click ok to make the changes effective"
I did it at W7. Am I missing something? Any hints from the experts? Needless to say, everything was working fine with Vista.
Thanks
Hi
I have tried the dummies guide concerning updating the HTC USB drivers but had a couple of issues:
1. If I press F8 during the boot process I get an abreviated version of the bois setup which has no selection for turning off digital signing of drivers. I have an ASUS motherboard so to enter the bois I press the DEL key. Whilst in the bios I can see no option for turning off the digital signing. The instructions in the thread simply don't work.
I have done some searching and found web pages that explain how to enter the command window, paste 2 or 3 lines of text to turn off digital signing and put W7 64 bit into a sort of test mode. I have done that and have "Test Mode Windows 7600" in the bottom right corner of my Desktop. I still can't install the HTC USB driver as it brings up an error due to being not signed.
Without installing the new driver I cant change my ROM. There must be others in the same boat having changed to Windows 7. Please help.
Ok a few things:
I'm on windows 7 x64 build 7600, I'm having NO problems, just connect your device in windows let it connect with active sync
Then de-connect your blacktsone, shut it down, and hold volume down button then press start up, it will now start in bootloader mode
Now re-connect and wait for it to get installed by your pc!
If you really DO need htc drivers
Go into your bios
Turn of any quick booting AND turn off full logog display
When windows is starting AFTER the bootscreen you'll get a screen with some sort of TABLE in it with all your hardware and all they're IRQ's
at THIS moment when you see this table press f8
Then you get a boot menu
and you can follow your guide with turning off the signed drivers etcetera!
Great Greet Giblet
wow dude, treat me like the idiot I am. Step by step please.
"Then de-connect your blacktsone" - i guess you mean take out the USB cable?
I wait for it to get re-installed but nothing happens whilst in bootloader and the word serial stays at the bottom of the screen
OMG
Oh my god, I am really frustrated becuase I managed to get it to work with your help but I don't know how. I must have tried everything 10 times without luck then all of a sudden it worked.
If only I knew what I was doing wrong I could pass it along to the next poor sap.
Thanks for your help.

Some options to get a new ROM on your device:
Alternative Option: Run ROM from storage card (this requires HSPL on your device)
- Connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable
- Choose Disk Drive option on your phone when presented with the choice.
- Extract the downloaded rar and if not called BLACIMG.nbh rename the romfile to that (ruusigned.nbh is commonly used so rename when so)
- Copy the BLACIMG.nbh to your phone's storage card via Windows Explorer where it should show up as an removable harddrive.
- Disconnect your phone from the pc once copy has finished.
- Shut down your phone.
- Press Volume Down (left top of phone) and keep it pressed while pressing the Start button (on top of phone) once.
- The bootloader (red,green,blue,white screen) will now start, it will detect the new rom file and ask you if you want to update your current one.
- Confirm and follow instructions on screen
Done.
As for your unsigned drivers i can offer some tips:
- Press F8 after you have seen all your hard drives recognized in the bios bootup screen but before you see the Windows Logo.
- F8 might be set as a bootselector menu by your motherboard manufacturer, if this gets in the way of trying the get to the F8 options from Windows you can disable it in your BIOS (to enter press del)
- If you have Windows 7 Ultimate you are entitled to XP-Mode which is basically a built in virtual machine of Windows XP within Windows 7, some people have been succesfull connection their phone to that XP installation and were able to update via it.
Hope this helps. together with the previous poster's comment you should come a long way, good luck.

Hey everyone,
I have been happily using android on nand for quite sometime, and everything has been going well. However, I must have the wrong adb driver installed on my windows 7 computer and can't seem to remove it fully or install the proper one ever. Every time I remove it from device manager, and plug it back in, windows finds it as an HTC composite device, and adb through command line can't find any devices, ever! I would really like to be able to use this feature for things like tethering and what not.
Also, if anyone has any information on how to tether using any OS, windows, mac or linux, I would greatly appreciate it, along with any applications that might be helpful! I have done proxoid in the past and it worked well, pdaNet looks like it might work, but again I don't have a connection to my windows computer!
Thanks in advance for all of the help!
I am using the android SDK usb driver for ADB, you just have to edit a file and add the vendor ID. I can do things like adb logcat, adb shell gives me odd characters in directory listings,I get a ? from adb devices, not sure what that is about.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.android\adb_usb.ini
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x0e79
0x0bb4
The 0e79 is for my Archos tablet, works fine there. 0bb4 is what showed up in device manager when I plugged in the phone.
I tried to install that driver for my Polaris and it doesn't work.
It shows "Installing Android Phone" while I have my device plugged in. It takes forever and seems that the USB connection hangs the driver install process, but as soon as I disconnect my device, Windows shows me an error message.
Instructions for Vista\Windows 7
For WinVista/Win7
These OS will install Android as a mass storage device. You must uninstall the driver and update to the android driver model.
Instructions:
1) Unplug all removable devices(thumb drive, sdcards, etc) beside the Android phone.
2) Locate "Device Manager", usually under "control panel"
3) Select "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
4) Select USB Mass Storage Device.
Note: to check if you have the correct device, click on the details tab and select "compatible ids" under properties. There should be three items listed under value.
5) Select uninstall driver
6) Close the window. Now in device manager a new "Android Phone USB device" with a yellow! will appear... If not, Unplug your android device or select Action -> Scan.
Note: view optional steps below if you still have problem with the your windows automatically installing drivers.
7) Click on the "Android Phone USB device"
8) Select "browse my computer to driver software"
9) Under "search this location for driver", Browse for the location that you have unzip the android_usb_windows and select the corresponding folder for your system(AMD64 for 64bit systems or x86 for 32bit systems. Right click -> properties on "My Computer" to check which system you have)
The driver is now installed and is ready to use.r
***Optional.
1. Go to System under Control Pandel.
2. Click on Hardware Tab and Under "Device Installation" select “Never search windows update for drivers”, then OK.
3. Go to Enable debugging on your phone. (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging).
4. Run USBDeview and remove all instances of Android Phone
5. Unplug your phone, and plug it in again.
7. Continue on step 7) above.

mine hung as well, what i ended up doing was turnng off the automatic installation. Then uninstalled the adb interface driver that was already installed. Then turning back on automatic installation. Then plugging phone back in and as it was installing automatically, manually installing the adb interface driver at the same time. Eventally the automatic install would error out and the manual install would work. It took like 15 or 20 minutes for it to finish.
when i uninstalled the adb interface, it turned into ''android phone'' in device manager. That was the driver i manually installed while the phone was automatically installing. I know it dont make much sense but it worked for me.
It looks like that will be my fate as well. It also says, that when I do the manual install of the ADB drivers that I already have the most current version installed!!! OH well, keep trying!
Same behavior on my pc with windows 7 32-bits.
When I have lucky the adb driver is connected (working correctly) for a few minutes and then it's disconnected.
i've tried various things to install adb driver, since last night but i've got nothing. i can't install adb driver for my xperia arc.
i installed sdk manager and usb driver. but when i try to install or update driver, i always see this message like "you're using the latest version". So i can't install it.
and also i've tried to uninstall driver and unplugged / plugged my device. then w7 automatically install driver. so i can't install adb driver again.
i want to root my phone, using this way at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18805560#post18805560
so i must install adb driver, please help me.
thanks everybody
edit: i've windows 7 home premium, 64-bits
Hey guys,
I'm trying to update my gf's Galaxy S to JP6 via the latest Kies 2. The program connects initially and notifies about a firmware update.. accepting this brings up some T&C nonsense, choosing 'accept' brings up a box asking what to backup, at this point whether I backup or skip it will bring up an error about failed update, i9000 disconnected etc...
I've uninstalled & reinstalled Kies, no difference, can anyone suggest what the issue is and how to fix it?
It's UK O2 Branded, currently running JP5 (which was updated by an older version of Kies v1.5 that worked on Win XP). The PC in question this time is running Windows 7 64bit. I rooted the phone using SuperOneClick and had installed RyanZA's OCLF v2 from the market.. i've undone the OCLF now though.
Kies and Win 7 x 64 i have never got it working . But have on Win 7 x32 .

The program connects initially and notifies about a firmware update.. accepting this brings up some T&C nonsense, choosing 'accept' brings up a box asking what to backup, at this point whether I backup or skip it will bring up an error about failed update, i9000 disconnected etc...
I've uninstalled & reinstalled Kies, no difference, can anyone suggest what the issue is and how to fix it?
It's UK O2 Branded, currently running JP5 (which was updated by an older version of Kies v1.5 that worked on Win XP). The PC in question this time is running Windows 7 64bit. I rooted the phone using SuperOneClick and had installed RyanZA's OCLF v2 from the market.. i've undone the OCLF now though.

Could you fix it?
End to the Noob Bashing...
Just realised that i was looking at the wrong post when i posted this data so the reasons for posting bit at the top of this will make no sense....sentiment still true though. Hope it helps either way.
Ok, i'm a Techie. I know without a shaddow of a doubt that my Laptop is fine in every respect and yet it was doing this to me also.
Believe me when i say, you're not insane, and despite what others say you DO have a valid question which DOES deserves a valid answer...ENOUGH of the trollish Noob bashing 'non answers'.
If you are having the EXACT same issue as the original poster, heres what you do:
With your phone unplugged....
Update Kies:
Make sure you have updated Kies to the most recent version. Either do this by going to your mobile phone opperators website and downloading the updated software version directly or by using the help --> Check for Updates option. Latest version at time of writing is: 2.0.2.11071_128.
Once up-to-date, close Kies. Although probably not essential, use 'Task Manager' to end any Kies related processes.
Uninstall Samsung USB Driver Software:
1) Navigate to Control Panel and open either (Windows 7/Vista) 'Programs and Features' or (Windows XP/2000) 'Add Remove Programs'
2) Scroll through the list of programs to find one called 'SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones'. If it is installed, right click it and select 'Uninstall'
3) Run through the process of uninstalling the software.
Tidy up Devices:
1) Right Click 'My Computer' select properties
2) On windows 7 (possibly Vista also...dont know as I skipped that generation) ONLY, select the 'Advance System Settings' option over to the left of the window.
3) Select the 'Advance' tab in the 'System Properties' window that appears.
4) Click 'Environmental variables'
5) In the 'System Variables' section of the window that appears, click 'New...'
6) In 'Variable Name:' type 'DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES' without the quotes
7) In 'Variable Value:' type '1' without the quotes
8) Click 'OK' times 3 to exit the windows you opened
9) If Windows 7 (or Vista) close the 'View basic information about your computer' window also.
10) Open 'Control Panel' and navigate through to 'Device Manager'
11) Click the 'View' menu and select 'Show Hidden Devices'. This will display all mothballed devices i.e. those devices which have previously been plugged in but then removed. Windows stores a record of the drivers in the background of the system to speed up the process of installing the device drivers when you next plug in said device. Sometimes, in the case of Network Cards for example, not only will it store the drivers but it will also store its settings. This can cause a problem as if you were to plug in a replacement Network Card and set it to use the same static IP address, the mothballed device will clash with the current device. Without the environmental variable setting being configured as above, even when you show hidden devices, mothballed devices remain hidden.
12) Starting from the top, expand each of the branches in the tree to see the devices within them.
13) Look for anything with a 'Samsung', 'MTP', 'GT-I9000' prefix. If found, right click and select 'Uninstall' and confirm at the prompt. BE CAREFUL NOT TO UNINSTALL ANYTHING YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT. Google it if need be to figgure out what it is and if its not a Samsung or android related device then leave it well alone.
14) Close Device Manager once you have assessed the final branch.
Re-Install Samsung USB Driver Software:
1) Open Kies
2) Expand the 'Tools' menu and select the 'Install Driver' option.
3) Click ok to any prompts to fire off the process.
4) Wait for it to complete.
5) On completion click 'Ok' to acknowledge if required.
At this stage, it may be worth turning off your Windows Firewall and AV scanners just to be on the safe side. Probably not an essential step but may make a difference. If you're not confident enough with computers to do this then dont bother.
Re-Connect Samsung Galaxy Device:
1) Plug the Micro USB cable that came with your device in to ANY of your most trust worthy USB sockets.
2) Plug the other end into the Micro USB socket of your Samsung Galaxy S.
3) Allow Kies to pickup your device and display the storage information proving it is properly connected.
4) If an update is avaialble for your device, Kies should prompt you. If you are confident that you have all the data backed up onto your computer, then proceed with the Firmware update.
5) Click either the Backup or Skip Backup option.
6) Panic a little when the device appears to disconnect YET AGAIN!
7) Chuckle to yourself knowingly once it blasts through this onto the update.
8) Once completed unplug from and re-plug your Samsung into your computer again.
9) Upload your backed up data.
10) Get rid of the God-Awful default dasktop layout that your Mobile provider forces onto you.
SORTED!
Dont know what causes this but what i have noticed is that once you have tidied the mothballed system devices related to your phone and re-installed the device drivers again, it appears as if there isn't any devices named with the prefix of 'MTP' in the device list but there are a few more labelled with a 'Samsung' prefix.
I suspect this is something to do with Samsung at long last fully qualifying their own drivers but not bothering to tidy up the mess that the old devices left behind as part of the Kies update process. Either that or Windows prevents the Samsung USB Driver installer software from being able to delete/update existing Samsung devices.
Enjoy!
I wish I could say this worked for me... but alas, it has not...
This is from a post I entered earlier today... (no change from this either)

... steps that worked for me
1, downloaded MyBackup (free version)
2, did backup of both apps and data (put both on ext memorycard)
3, used the restore to factory option under privacy in the settings menu
4, unmounted internal sd card and formated it (to remove the mtp loop issue)
5, run kies,
6, select update firmware,
7, at the box where it says no device connected, put into test mode (ctrl + alt + U + P)
8, connected phone
9, detected thaqt there was an update to JM1 available
10, started update,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have yet to do any of this (other than get a backup using MyBackup), but have some questions... (noob here)
Step 3: Will this remove all the definitions for my phone number and/or provider as well?
Step 7: the CTRL+ALT+U+P thing doesn't work with Kies 2.0.2 so if I am unable to do an update, will the phone be at Froyo (2.2) as it is now? or does it revert to 2.1 (which it was when I bought the unit)?
I also got this "Informational" record from the Event Manager... (I could hear the system connect, then drop the Kies connection)

Well had to go through Samsung Support... they got me to reset to factory default (since I had a backup) then do the Kies update...
All is better although it would be nice to know what had gone wrong...
