I have tried EVERYTHING - cannot get Keis to work

I have looked on about 10 threads and 10 websites trying to get Keis to work. I use Touch Wiz.
What am I missing here ?
When I connect my USB to the phone and I have it set up so these options pop up and ask me what I want to do
When I select the Keis option -- the screen dissapears for one sec then re-opens with the menu again (asking me what I want to do)
It diappears again. And it does this over and over. Ever 2 secs just disappears then reappears.
WHY is this happening ?
HOW can I get a firmware update (bell i9000m) when I can't even connect o keis

no one eh?

I thin u must clear youre cache..

Doesn't work for me, too.
Set default action when plugging in usb to KIES and disable USB-Debugging.
This works for me.
If your MTP-Application crashes on and on, look at your internal sd card and delete files with long filenames. KIES doesn't like long filenames.

Dud try to put microsoft net framework 3,5 on your machine and that should help i had this same problem and this was the cure hope it will help you too

Go to Settings/Wireless and Network/USB settings and click on Samsung Kies. USB debugging needs to be turned off.

Open Kies, click the logo in the top left that says "KIES" then select "Driver Recovery" let this run to the end.
Now plug in your phone, does it work now?

Also try closing kies, closing kies in the tray too, then connect the phone, choosing kies as the connect option. Wait until it says "connected" on the phone, then launch kies.
Oooh. Make sure you close adw or launcher pro too. Must use tw ui.

I had the exactly same problem when I was using Windows 7 64-bit. There was apparenlty no fix for it. Luckily, I had the opportunity to move to 32-bit which solved all the problems.
Are you, then, using Windows7 64 bit edition?

Win 7 64-bit user here. Works fine for me.
Say, what exactly have you tried so far? That should help us to narrow down the source of the problem.

I ended up having to do a hardware reset before I could get the MTP Application problem solved and KIES to detect the phone. Even formatting the internal SD didn't help.

solution
In mass storage mode delete all files (and directories) with extension longer than 16 chars.
For example:
DCIM\.thumbnails\.thumbdata3--1967290299
has extension 22 chars long

did you check here?

in my case it was an USB port issue with Windows 7 x64
unfortunately it fixed itself up, so i have no clue what was the cause of the problem

Oh god, I'd never let anyone at the AT&T store touch my phone for an update. I'm betting on a Kies solution seeing as how the last ota bricked so many phones.

Though there is no reason to use either as you will get it here quicker and the dev's will make it better

yea i havnt rooted my phone either tho and samsung kies doesnt work so hopefully its OTA

Have you tried mini kies? And you have a phone that is very easy to root, mod, etc, so robert be afraid to get yourself hooked on flashing like etter rest of us.. just check the three button thread in the dev section first.

I have seen many threads with people saying that kies does not recognize their phone or what not. I had the same problem and I played around with it and figured out my situation and why it was not working. Maybe you are in the same boat as I was so I hope this helps. I had installed the Launcher Pro app (since I didnt like TouchWiz) and used Home Switcher app to change and set Launcher Pro as my default UI.
I installed both the drivers and kies software from the Samsung website for my phone:
www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT
At first, it was not working even when I changed my USB settings to "Samsung Kies". Settings --> Applications --> USB Settings --> Samsung Kies.
I found out that it was because of Launcher Pro....Kies did not like because your phone must not have any apps running when the phone is plugged into the USB port with Samsung Kies as the USB setting and should be in some "idle" state. So....I set "Samsung Kies" as my USB Settings, I used Home Switcher to set TouchWiz as my default UI, made sure I was at the TouchWiz home screen, plugged in the USB cable into my phone and computer...voila....my phone went into "Samsung Kies" mode (on my screen, it shows MTP Application on the title bar and shows a USB cable with the words "connected" below it). From there, Samsung Kies recognized my phone and I was able to access my contacts, messages, calendar, etc from Samsung Kies.
Hope that helps!
EDIT: Also, whenever I try to plug it in with an app running, i get the error message "PC connection only available only in idle screen. Close running applications". This is what prompted me to think about switching back to TouchWiz home screen at first. Maybe the people who are having trouble with Kies need to close their apps as well.

[Q] MTP Application flickering continuously

Hi,
I just got my Samsung Galaxy S a few days back and installed Kies on my Windows Vista PC (32 bit) last night. It asked for an update as soon as I started it for the first time and I did so.
When I tried connecting my phone to the PC USB, it asked for the connection mode and I chose "Samsung Kies", right after this I see the Galaxy S flickering between the MTP application connection screen and the home screen. This goes on indefinitely and I need to pull out the cable to stop this.
This is really frustrating. Is this a problem with my phone (USB port damaged) or some other problem? If anyone else here is facing this and has resolved it please let me know how.
TIA

Put your phone in mass storage mode, connect it to your PC so that you can browse the internal storage and delete any files that have extensions longer than 16 characters. This is the reason why MTP is crashing over and over. If you do a search for it, its a common problem. I think there is even an app that someone wrote to scan your internal SD and automatically remove these files.

Know the name of the app?

Here is the app.

Had the same problem a while back and this fixed it

Thanks for all the help.
Remvoed Dolphin HD (the one that had 16+ chars extensions) and was able to connect with Kies.

Ive had this problem when trying to install KIES last night, going to give this a go as i want to upgrade to some FroYo goodness!

KIES update broken for P1010?

New KIES update (2.0.3.11082_152) does not want to play nice with my P1010. Half an hour chat with Samsung agent consisted of powering up and down, reconnecting cable, uninstalling and reinstalling KIES all to no avail. I connected OK once. Twice the Tab said it was connected but KIES said it didn't know it. Mostly it just sits there with the spinning arrows going round and round.
I was directed to a troubleshootiing webpage that says USB debugging should be turned off after you have connected the Tab to your PC (implying maybe that it should be on when you connect it?)
Anyone having similar problems? Should I even care seeing as how we will most likely never see any upgrades for the poor humble P1010?
-- Happy P-1010 owner. No whining. It is what it is.

Are you by any chance using a 3rd party launcher? (i.e. LauncherPro, ADW, etc..) If so, Kies will not see your p-1010. I know this from my own experience. If this is the case keep reading. If not feel free to skip it.
On your tab go to settings->Applications->Manage Applications. Find the launcher u are using, tap it, then select "clear defaults." Then tap your home key and select "Samsung Home". Once ur back to the default launcher reconnect the tab to the PC and open Kies and u should be good to go.

Yes, I'm using LauncherPro. Went back to Samsung Home, but KIES still won't connect. It seems to work with some combination of power down and reloading the drivers, but I think I don't really care about KIES anymore. Thanks much for the info though.
-- Happy P-1010 owner. No whining. It is what it is.

For what it's worth I rolled back to KIES 2.0.0.11033_25 and it connected on the first try. With LauncherPro.

[Q] Kies via WiFi

I cant seem to get mine to work, I run the kies via wifi on the Gnote after I have kies running on the PC, my note does not list my PC under detected devices. I've tried to disable the windows firewall and turned off my Nod32. Any other things worth trying?
Im using XXKK9 if it matters, rooted with chainfire's KK9

sounds like youre doing it wrong so i'll list it from the start.
on your phone, first connect to the same wifi router as your PC (your pc can be connected to the router wirelessly or via network cable).
then run kies air on your note. hit the start button.
the note will then give you an address to type into your pc's address bar. normally this is similar to the gateway your modem is on. generally its http://192.168.1.*:port number/ i think port number may default to 8080 or something.
then once you log into the page on your website, you'll get a prompt on your note asking you about an access request, and whether or not you wish to allow access from the pc accessing the website. just tap allow.
and viola, access your note via wifi.

I don't connect with Kies on PC. Open webrowser and type in Adress, showing on phone. Or click Help on Phones Kies air and follow steps there.

I can get Kies AIR to work w/o any issues at all, FYI. Kies AIR and Kies WiFi are two different things.
This is Kies wifi

Again kies air works 100%, no issues nothing what so ever.. I just need Kies Wifi to work.

Hey EarlZ
Only just come accross this post and not by pc so not sure if this is going to help as its purely from memory from setting up a friends SGS2...
If i remember correctly, there's a setting in Kies 2 on PC you need to enable labelled "use kies over wifi". I noticed that wasnt mentioned in the YouTube video posted. Hopefully this helps, but perhaps they haven't extended this service for the Note, but it would be odd if they've done that!
But yes, i have used this method and is much more reliable and more options than Kies Air.

I cant seem to find that option under kies.

Yeah, sorry EarlZ
On looking at the pc, can see that option is not available. Tye next time i'm at my mates i'll check version numbers, but it does appear its no longer available.

Hi EarlZ
Finally managed to find it... if you go into Settings/Wireless and Network/Kies via Wi-Fi on your Note and enable it.
You need to enable that and then when you're on the same network as your pc, Kies will ask if you want to connect with your device.
Hope this helps

Good and bad news.
Good news are:
Just updated KIES to new version 2.1.1 and KIES wifi do works now. Theres a instruction too on new KIES how to enable KIES wifi.
Bad news are:
Connect to KIES with USB cable dont work for me now. Reinstalled drivers for 3 times, same ****.
Why do Samsung even bother to release such crappy **** like KIES.

@DT33
Have you disabled "use kies wifi" on your handset when trying to reconnect via usb?

Yeah the latest update now allows the note to connect.
