[Q] unable to get kies working on w7 64, tried everything how can I flash firmware?

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.

I'm trying to upgrade my adroid OS to Froyo. When I connect my Samsung Galaxy S to my laptop running Windows 7, it says installing device drivers. After about 5 seconds it says
Device driver software was not successfully installed
MTP USB Device Failed.
Windows 7 is not recognising the phone, but Windows XP recognises it straight away. Has anyone had this problem previously or have any idea what could be preventing 7 from recognising the phone? Annoying to say the least!

Actually,what i've done was just reset the phone to factory setting n evrything came back to normal..what u have to do is
1. download a backup apps from market,backup evrythg (reset will clear the setting n system only..photo, mp3 and apps folder will remain there in sd..)
2. Disable lagfix (if any)
3. then reset the phone to factory setting.
4. Reboot n u can connect your phone to pc as normal again.
This steps take less then 10 minutes (plus 5minutes to restore evrythg) n much2 better than to search the best way to fix the problem..
The case is,something wrong in our phone..should be one of the listed in our 'googles' or no one knows it..so better take this way,n yes,u are going to upgrade it anyway..lol,no harm!!

If there was an issue with the phone, it wouldn't connect to any PC. The fact that Windows XP recognises is straight-away tells me there is an issue with my PC's OS. I am experiencing an odd situation, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 KB976932 has several updates bundled together 200+MB, 1 of the updates 44BM will not configure error 0x800F8026. I'm hoping someone familiar with the Update log in Windows 7 forum can makes some sense of it and come up with a solution! In the meantime I'll percevere.

I dont know if we have the same problem..mine was another galaxy s can connect to my win7 but the other cannot..i used all the methods found in google to solve the problem in my phone..but none of them helping..fed up with that, so i reset my phone..problemo solved
Anyway,hope someone knows can tell it here..

The problem or problems lie with my laptops OS. I did a factory setting restore on my phone, but still getting the error.

[Q] Galaxy S and PC kies connection problem

Hi,
I have a problem connecting my phone to Samsung KIES. My phone is Galaxy S I9000 running Android 2.2. My PC is runnning windows 7 x64 and the latest KIES version 2.0.0.11032_12. When I connect my phone to PC, phone's screen shows that it is ready to connect with KIES. PC founds the divice as a memory card. But when I turn on KIES it only shows 'Connecting...' but it never really connects. Moreover, when phone is in DOWNLOAD mode even ODIN cannot connect.
Maybe someone had a similar problem or has an idea how it could be solved. It would be very helpful.

Multiple posts on the subject you could search .

Believe me I did. I have tried solutions that i have found in this forum and what i have found in Google. However, nothing helped. There are many different cases in this situation and I hope that I have missed something or at least some one could tell me is this my PC's problem or phone's

kies is a buggy program & this shows more on win7 x64 which is very particular about the driver behavior, I just lost phone connection & now cant get it to connect.

+1 I have a quad-core running W7x64 and Kies takes about 30 seconds just to load. It's so ridiculously slow and has only ever detected my phone twice.
Hopefully you can find a 32-bit laptop or PC to use temporarily.
As an aside... a VM such as XP Mode may help as you could install XP 32-bit and connect the USB through to the VM guest? Unsure if this would help so may be useless advice

The latest Kies loads and finds phone on my X64 but did not before .
Clear your USB drivers .

I just want to know how to get into this "PC Studio" mode Kies mentions everytime I start it up. Its really ticking me off cuz I want to get the latest firmware on there but I can't seem to figure out how....

Download latest Kies from Samsung .
Connect phone using Kies mode selected on phone .
Connection fails its worth setting phone to USB mass storage mode and let the drivers install .
Tools Firmware upgrade . PC Studio nothing to do with firmware upgrade its an older version of Kies type software .
Android 2.2 next upgrade was 2.2.1 but not all network phone providers have updated to 2.2.1 as most are waiting for the release of 2.3 .So dont go looking for 2.3 its not on the servers .

Hi, I had the same problem, in another forum someone said start kies on your PC and then plug your usb in, it worked for me.

[Q] Kies???????????

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..

I had exactly the same.. stop using Kies and go for Odin!

ok Tried on my wifes pc today, and the same thing happens. i can see kies is downloading, and preparing, the phone turns on with a little green guy, and now stock at 0%. the pc isn´t frozen, and taskman tells my both kies and firmware update is running.
How long does it normaly take to update the phone. im at over 1 h. now and nothing had happend.
About odin, is future update through kies still possible.
Remember my old wave phone, after manualy update , kies then complaind about not been able to update to my phone, cause wrong firm installed.

Yes but what does it care? Kies is known as a bad flashing tool. Odin is much better.. If you are using Win7 x64 you can forget using Kies properly. I suggest you just backup your numbers using kies and then start using Odin.

Odin is much better. Kies bricks phones.

When I first updated my phone through Kies it took about 15-20 minutes, if you want to update your phone using Stock Rom (that is the ROM you're trying to update throgh kies - you have to take note of the number and letters before updates) i advice you too to use Odin.

Ok ill give odin a go.
Does odin clear all settings and apps installed, like MultiLoader did when flashing my wave.
I know about falshing the right firmware, it was a ***** to get my hands on Danish firm to the old wave, hope i more luck finding the latest in danish for the Galaxy.
Right now im very very happy that i flushed that sammy wave the galaxy is so much faster and fun to use.
thanks for replying. Odin it is.

A friend just managed to update his SGS+ via Kies after 12 or something hours of failed attempts (he did try everything from drivers to USB port and cable)
The official update stopped mid-download at a random percentage every time.
His PC was running Win7 x64 and on his final attempt he used another computer with Win XP that did the trick.
The good thing after this adventure of his was that all the apps, messages and settings were kept.

wonder if a virtual xp inside win7 32bit , would do the job.

Quite risky in my opinion, as USB has to be connected through virtualization layers. This might work without any issues but could cause severe problems as well.
I personally tried to connect with KIES from a Win XP vm running on Win7 x64 natively (with vmware Workstation) and it did not work properly.
Tried it several times and with various boots and settings.
But I may have been too impatient, on my netbook KIES also needed several attempts to get connected to the phone.
In the end, I flashed with Odin, that worked right at the first attempt.

If you have Windows 7 on 32 bits you can update via Kies.I updated my phone without any problems when I was using stock ROM.I now just use it for backup.

Windows 7 32 bit never faced this type of problem but yups my friend bricked his phone while updating through kies so be careful also
