I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything (sorry if it's already been discussed)
I'm trying to install Kies and it keeps aborting the install on step 4.
No matter what options I try to choose, it gets to step 4 when it tries to download some more components, the progress bar goes up to 1% then it aborts itself.
I've tried this on 3 different PCs (XP sp1 and sp3) to no avail ..
Any ideas ?
well.. no reply, but in case someone else has this problem when trying to unlock their phone.. you can just download the standalone USB drivers .. google it up and good luck
I still don't have kies .. but don't really need / want it either
same problem here mate hopefully someone knows how to fix it
I also had the same problem, finally solved by deleting the 16 character files in the phone which was explained in another forum. Samsung says problem is due to some bug phone.
To make KIES working with phone, set the phone to be used as mass storage using USB debugging setting.
Remove all the 16 character files until Samsung publish a update/fix. In my case, I found those files in Seesmic, Backgrounds app.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable and select "Samsung Kies" mode.
Problem you might face is finding all the 16 character files in the phone.
You can use a program made by PhoenixFx. Google it you will find the exe file.
though a small problem is still there. Every time I toggle between USB debugging mode and KIES, I have to de-install and reinstall the drivers. For now I have stopped using USB debugging mode to avoid reinstallation of drivers. I use other system for that.
KIES now works fine and helped in upgrading my firmware
I've tried everything that I possibly can, in order to implement ChainFire's kernel via Odin to root my Samsung Galaxy S, but it doesn't matter what I do - Odin gets stuck at Setup Connection for me. (both on Windows 7 [32 bit] and Windows XP)
I've tried asking this question several times in relevant threads, and so far have not received any replies. Hence, I'm forced to make this thread.
I just want to know if there exists an alternate method to root my phone AND replace stock 3e recovery with 2e recovery? While I can root my phone using the SuperOneClick method, I can't seem to install 2e recovery on my phone and therefore no ClockWorkRecovery Mod for me either.
Can anyone in here, please help me with this ordeal?
the answer is simple: just use odin to flash any mod kernal from this forum, like SpeedMode

Which version of Odin are you using? Have you tried Odin v1.7?

You can also try z4root found in this forum.
I've tried using both 1.3 and 1.7 versions of Odin. And facing the exact same issue; it doesn't go beyond 'Setup Connection' for me, when flashing the kernel.
I've already tried and tested all combinations and permutations of USB cable in / USB cable out / Battery out / SIM out / Odin running with Admin rights / Different USB slots etc etc. Didn't do anything for me.
Let me reiterate myself, rooting alone is the least of my problems. I need to install 2e version of recovery (and hence be able to install ClockWorkMod in order to be able to install 3rd party ROMs). I can't seem to get that done, via ChainFire's method.
I've managed to root my phone via SuperOneClick method, but the issue of 2e recovery remains. So I can't use that method either.
What exactly are you having a problem with? Can you get your phone to connect to Odin but the download won't progress or can't you get your phone to connect to Odin??
My phone shows up in Odin just fine (Com: 14), but once I click 'Start', the entire process stops at:
<ID:0/014> Added!!
<ID:0/014> Odin v.3 engine (ID:14)..
<ID:0/014> File analysis..
<ID:0/014> SetupConnection..
Nothing happens beyond this point. And my phone isn't flashed or affected in any way either.
Are you sure you have all the appropriate drivers?
I had that problem earlier on .. and I believe once I got the Samsung USB drivers from Softpedia it was a wrap.
Odin started working properly.
edit: also check which PIT file you're using. People recommend 512 but the 802 is the one that works for my phone.
KIES identifies the phone just fine. I've already tried removing the drivers and re-installing them automatically via Windows Update - KIES works again, but this issue remains.
I've also removed KIES (even from the status bar area), before starting Odin, so that's not a problem either.
i think you have no problem with odin, but with usb drivers.
without usb connect you have a problem i think. even for redbend_ua u need a usb connect to use adb shell.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773913
dont know if u can use redbend in terminal emulator just local?! we have to ask an expert or just try it
another option is to use a linux box and heimdall. never had any problems with the usb drivers there

ah ok..than try to work with adb and redbend_ua
Use Heimdall, I'm yet to hear of a single instance of Heimdall 1.0.0 failing.
Any link to how can I use Heimdall? Is it possible on a Mac?
Heimdall XDA Thread
Official Heimdall Page
The README includes usage instructions.
Heimdall will run on a Mac as long as you have the updated bootloader provided by Samsung. It was only included in official Froyo releases so you must already be running Froyo for it to work on a Mac. Unfortunately there is no work around if you don't have the bootloader, even a Windows virtual machine running on a OS X will not be able to connect to the phone.
However Heimdall will work fine with any Galaxy S on Linux and Windows (i.e. no updated bootloader required).
If you find Heimdall useful donations are very much appreciated
recovery 2e can be installed on your device fairly easily, as long as it is rooted. Any root method works.
Once rooted, just copy the recovery 2e binary and replace the 3e binary in /system. There are some guides here on this forum on how to do it. I believe simply replacing /system/res/keys with AOSP should be enough for recovery 3e to work properly too...
Finally, I got it working, still using Odin. Thanks for everyone's help. Really really appreciate it.
I have the same problem - could you briefly describe how you got it working with Odin? Thanks!
First of all make sure that you're entering download mode and not recovery mode, before connecting to Odin.
That means pressing (home+power+down-volume key). Secondly, download KIES and and attach your phone with it first in a normal mode and later when in download mode (without turning Odin on).
Thanks a lot, worked!

Heimdall does not recognize my Epic and I can't get Odin to work. I'm in limbo now as phone will only go to download mode.
Hello,
My Samsung Galaxy S is listed as Unknown Device.
It started after an update to 2.2 via Kies and i did that with the regedit exploration. That was the 2.2 beta and then i updated it again with the official release this time also with the regedit exploit. I have formated the internal SD (i cant dismount it cause im on froyo i guess? atleast there is no option about it). Factory reset and so on.
Reinstalled kies 5 times, installed USB drivers again and again. I have tried it on different platforms with both XP (32-bit), Vista (32-bit) and Slackware Linux (32-bit). The computors just cant find drivers for the device.
I have tried all the different usb options in the phone settings nothing happends. I think i have tried everything that can be found here and on google...
The phone is Rooted and im now on PDA: I9000XWJP6, PHONE: I9000XXJPM, CSC: I9000XEEJP4.
Build Info: 2010. 10.
I believe the main thing here is that i dont even get the MTP application in the phone to recognize that a USB connection have been initialized. Nothing happend in the phone when i connect the USB no MTP screen or anything, just chargeing. I have tried 2 diffrent usb cords both that worked before so its not that.. The computor just says unknown device and Kies dont notice anything at all.
I have tried installing another firmware with Odin in Download mode and stil unknown device.
So i believe the phone have, in some way lost its internal usb drivers? I have also noticed that the battery "100% charged" icon does not disapear after i disconnect the usb or the charger. Also sometimes the icon continues to charge after i disconnect. Sometimes when i turn the phone of it starts by itself after like 2 min.
Anyways! What i was wondering is if there is a way to install an official firmware via update.zip volume-up+home+power?
When i try to install a customized rom with update.zip it says:
E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.
Cause of 3e bootloader? But i think its best to maby have a good stable firmware before i go customized?
So any help would be appreciated!!! heeeeeeeelp.....
Try installing theses drivers x64 x86 depending on what operating system you're on.
If that doesn't work try going into download mode and connect with odin. With the recovery problem you need to flash 2e recovery
You can also try and download and flash the latest version firmware to your phone and see if that helps.
Good luck and tell me how it goes

Hi m8!
Thx for the reply!
I have allready tried installing those drivers doesnt work for me.
I have tried Download mode with Odin to, it still says Unknown Device in Windows (i have Vista 32-bits, but tried it on XP and Linux to).
So anything that has to do with a USB-connection seems impossible at the moment...
The phone dont start the MTP application at all and windows dont install the drivers, it just says unknown device when trying to install.
I just unistalled Kies and removed everything from regedit with "kies" in it and then rebooted and downloaded a new fresh Kies file. Installed it and rebooted again while i wiped the phone, formated the SD and did a factory reset.. still "Unknown Device" :[
The problem seems to be the software in the phone.. so my question is: Is there is anyway to update or flash the firmware in the phone without any USB connection?
Is there maby any way to get 2e recovery mode without usb connection?

There is an app in the Android Development section here that allows you to flash a kernel within Android. Never tried it myself but I believe it is now stable and you could use it to flash CF-Root internally
EDIT: Here you go...

Have you tried recovery mode? Big yellow triangle with Android man holding shovel. Then connect to PC with Kies running and click on firmware update button.
Thx man!
But it seems that i dont have root access anymore, so cant use that app either :/ i think im a hopeless case.. :[

Yes man.. i get the same thing with the Yellow friend that says "Do not turn of target!!!"..
"One of the USB devices attached to this computor has malfunctioned. And Windows does not recognize it."
and also
"Unknown Device Installed
The software for this device has been successfully installed.
Unknown device - - Ready to use"
Are you connecting through a hub or direct to the back port of the PC. A hub will cause problems. If direct then try this.. Plug in and wait till you get the unrecognised device info. go into device manager, identify the device it will either say Samsung or unknown device. right click and remove device say yes if it asks if you want to delete the driver. now restart the pc after unplugging the usb then after it has fully restarted and connected to the net plug it back in again. Hopefully it will look on the net for the driver and install the correct one.

Yep tried that to.. i have even tried it on 3 diffrent computers 2 of them in all usb ports.. and everything els works that was connected in those ports.
I dont think its the software in the computer that is the problem.. :/
I believe there is some internal (in the phone) usb firmware problem, if thats possible?
i have exactly the same problem my usb by giving uknown device (i used it at 3 computer with kies software) it seems usb not working anywhere.
I believe our only solution is to find a way to install e2 recovery via the phone.
I have this problem also.
My SGS is rooted.
I tried everything. Googled many hour.
I din't know what more to do.
I have "Android system recovery <2e>" Is this an advantage?
I turned the phone in to my provider. this message is what i got from the repairservice.
Repair Details: The phone's charge connector is moisture/water -damaged, can not be repaired. returned without action.
WTF?!! i have been really careful with the phone. The only thing i can think of is that it has been really cold where i live (Sweden) and i had it in my pocket.. but i mean cmon! it goto withstand that!
I guess i have to wait for samsung to make it possible to update firmware via Wifi.

With Recovery 2e i think it can be possible to update your phones firmware with the update.zip file but i think you need to have your phone rooted.

All makes of Smartphone seem to suffer from, condensation problem .

I think so. I have my phone rooted and also ROM Flash Manager installed. The issue now is to find an european stock image to flash compatible with ROM Flash Manager
I looked for the stock firmware image (my phone has JF3) but can't find where.
Anyone?
I don't want to flash a cooked image just in case I have to ship the phone to the repair service.
Hello, I have exactly the same problem.
My SGS is unrooted, due to warranty, and alway keep it with maximum care (it is not a free phone...).
Symptoms are the same:
-It started after an update to 2.2 via Kies
-Absolutely unrecognized by windows (xp32 and win764) anymore
-battery "100% charged" icon does not disappear after i disconnect the usb or the charger
-turning the phone off it starts by itself after like 2 min.
More: incredible but sometimes when connected to car charger, I have the message "usb connected".
Already tried all possible (unrooted) tricks.
I believe usb internal drivers (if any) are corrupted (maybe by moisture?), how to reinstall them?
Maybe usb connector damaged; I have moved a little bit with a scrwdrvr the usb connector plate and clean with air and a thin blade but no result.
I will bring to service, as warranty is still valid, but surely they will discard me (I am optimist)
If there is any solution, please post it.
Hello,
Same here, can't connect phone to pc, mtp dont start on phone after connect it on pc !
Anyone know how flashback stock rom if its possible ?
Hi someone have a stock firmware for flash it in to recovery ?
I think i will try send the phone to samsung after reflashing for see what the guys from samsupport says about this !
Yes, if a part of firmware has been corrupted (with usb info for pc recognition) maybe the solution is to reinstall entire rom.
How to find a stock rom?
How to reinstall rom from SD card in a non rooted phone with no usb connection?

Hi, I am using JPO version of Germany (DBT) for I9000 international. When I connect device to computer, update notification appears for 2.2.1. However, when I click on update after skipping or non-skipping backup, device disconnects and notification appears that device not connected. Then, clicking on OK update process ends but my galaxy s is connected to KIES. I tried numerous times and I am waiting for someone who overcame this problem.
full error message: Firmware update stopped because GT-I9000 has been disconnected. Please check the connection and try again.
I tried those:
Updating KIES
Hard reset device
Uninstall & reinstall KIES
Open KIES as admin
Open KIES in compatibility mode
Restart phone
I also tried Win7 32 bit,XP and XP virtual PC
Solution is in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997974
have you tried it on another computer?
If that does not work you can always download the version you need and flash it yourself through odin. As long as it's a stock rom it shouldn't even compromise your warranty
EDIT:
But first try the other computer, if it does not work on any other machine you can also suspect faulty hardware and just send it to samsung / bring it to your carrier. I think they will investigate and update it for you.

I managed to understand problem thanks to you but I can not figure out a solution. You are correct that my phone connects and synchronizes great normally but it does not connect to KIES in download mode.
maybe kies does not recognize in download mode...so u can choose alternative of flashin with odin..its easy and fast =)

I am afraid that I had a bad experince with Odin. My phone connected to Odin. When I clicked start, nothing happened. After half and hour I unplugged, I saw a phone, a cable and a computer on screen. After that, I updated to Froyo using KIES, that is why I am not a fan of ODIN

Hi Guys,
i got a huge Problem with my GT - 9305.
I already saved my IMEI etc and now i want to root my phone but I got a problem.
I done everything said in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1 BUT:
Everytime I go in downloade mode and want to start Odin this happens ( see attachments )
My Phone wont reboot while I press start, it still says: Downloading ... and nothing happens.
I have installed latest Kies + Drivers, sometimes Kies find the GT-9305 and sometimes not, then i have to reinstall the Drivers.

make sure Kies is not running when you do it
Root your phone with One Click
Hey, I've got an unlocked i9305 with Optus in Australia.
I rooted my i9305 weeks ago, just a simple software with one click, nothing to do with Odin.
I don't know why there's hardly such tool in the xda and many english-based forum, try this link:

Things you need to do:
1.A Windows-based PC
2.Download the tool from the link
3.Have kies installed (Or you can install the phone driver alone)
4.Enable usb-debug in development option on your i9305
5.BACK UP!
6.Connect your phone with a cable to your PC
7.Use the tool, ONE Click, root your phone successfully
8.After rooting you'll probably find a superuser app in Chinese, don't worry
9.Go downloading the Superuser app in play-store, it can help you to switch to the new SU app.
10.Done!
