[Q] Kies installation problems

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

[Q] Unknown device - Samsung Galaxy S

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.

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?

I want to update via Kies, but can not connect

I have a Bell SGS. I updated it once from 2.1 to 2.2...now I'd like to update to 2.3.
My computer/Kies will NOT see my phone. I've done some searching, but I literally have no idea what I'm doing. I've done a factory reset on my phone hoping that would help...it didn't. I've re-installed Kies...no dice. Tried re-installing the drivers via Kies...nothing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Someone willing to help me step by step via e-mail would be even better.

60+ views and not a single suggestion?
I don't understand why my PC can't see my phone AT ALL.

Honestly, your best bet is to use Odin and flash the Bell UGKG3 (2.3.3) build.
You can download Odin and the Bell UGKG3 build here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881&page=1
Search for i9000m (that's what the Bell SGS is) and you'll find the UGKG3 download.
Instructions for using Odin are also on that same page.

Last time my phone was not recognized it was a broken USB cable

If your update from 2.1 to 2.2 was an unofficial update, keis will not see the phone again, unless you flash back to the official 2.1.
Once you have done that, Keis should then recognise your phone and offer you the latest Bell update.
Hope that this helps.

Okay, I downloaded Odin 1.85. I found and downloaded the KG3 files, then extracted them. I got Odin all setup, put my phone in to download mode, connected it to the PC...Odin never detects the device.

After doing the above, I tried a different USB cable in a different port.
Any other suggestions guys?

First, test to make sure the usb cable works, ie, see if you can connect in mass storage mode.
Secondly, reinstall kies so that the usb drivers are installed properly.

As per my first post, I can NOT get my PC to see my phone.
I just tried plugging it in to another computer here at work. I'm using TW launcher, USB Setting = Ask on Connection...no dice. When I plugged in the cable, I chose mass storage, and the MTP starts...it says that it's connected to the computer...but the computer doesn't see it. Both computers are running XP.

first make sure that you have USB DEBUGING in settings/applications/development
if this will not help
-unplug phone from usb
-uninstall kies, reboot pc
-REDOWNLOAD kies and install it
-once again now make sure you do not have USB DEBUGING ticked in settings/applications/development
-make sure you have your pc setup to download drivers if neded from windows update servers
-connect phone to pc and let it install all divers it will ask for
-make sure your phone is setup to have "Samsung Kies" in settings/comunication/usb settings
-disconnect phone
-open kies and let it update (sometimes downloaded from www version of kies aint latest)
-you can and maybe should download usb drivers for samsung phones from this thread and install them
[Driver] [31.10.2011] SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones +LATEST UPDATED VERSION+
when everything is setted up, instlled, up to date and kies is loaded
connect your phone

I've done most of this a few times. The bolded section I'm not sure how to check. I've downloaded the drivers a couple times too...but am not sure I'm installing them 100% correctly.
is there any sound from PHONE when connecting usb?
No, but I have my phone set to silent...ALWAYS. It DOES vibrate though to indicate it is plugged in.
is there any sound from PC when connecting usb?
No.
what is happening on statusbat when you connect usb?
I assume you mean the battery status indicator in the notification bar? It shows that the battery is charging.
what is happening at kies window when you connect the phone?
Nothing...literally.
what is happening at phone display when you connect the phone?
Because I have "USB Setting" set to "Ask On Connection," a menu pops up with three options: Samsung Kies; Media Player; Mass Storage. None of the options seem to do anything. Even with USB set to "Samsung Kies," nothing happens.

Sometimes my computer also fails to recognize the phone. What i do is restart the computer/restart the phone/try again later.
Make sure your Kies is updated.
Try on another computer.
Last option: Give it to Samsung Service Center. They will mostly do it for free or for a very minimal fee.

just ignore the portions for ICS

Thanks for the suggestion. I've downloaded all the files. I've also done a factory reset as well as formatted the internal memory card. As far as I can tell, my phone is as close to stock as it possible could be.
I can NOT connect my phone to ANY computer. I've tried four different computers now. Tried installing the USB drivers on one of them...nothing.
I'm starting to think that I have a hardware issue. The phone recognizes that it's connected to a PC though...so I'm not 100% convinced.

Okay...so there has been a new development.
I grabbed another phone (Samsung I997R), and tried it using the same cable and same USB port, and it recognized the phone instantly. Was able to enable Mass Storage and see everything on the phone.
So, that being said, does anyone know why my I9000M won't be seen?

You have already tried everything you could, so new just goto the Samsung Service Center and ask them what the problem is.

Yeah, I'll have to do that I think.
I tried plugging it in to a laptop running Linux last night...still no dice. My buddies SGS2 was recognized immediately.
I toured over to the Bell store last night for ****s and giggles, and the Samsung rep happened to be there. Dude didn't really know anything though...said he's only been on the job for a couple months. Plugged it in to the PC at the store...same deal.

I assume your phone charges OK when using the wall wart or plugged into a PC?

Yup...charges perfectly fine. The phone even recognizes when it's hooked to a computer (launches whichever USB mode is selected). It's just NOT being seen by any computer I plug it in to...but other phones are recognized using the exact same equipment (i.e. USB cable, computer, port, etc. are all the same).

Is it rooted? A guy i work with said kies wouldn't recognize it after rooting his.

Cannot connect to Kies: neverending "connecting"

I've latest KIES version, the tab is rooted and cwmodded but stock rom. When I try to connect it to kies I get a neverending "connecting", so basically it never establishes a connection. I tried reinstaling drivers and with and without debug usb, but no luck. Do you have any clue?

Problem with KIES
My tablet is not rooted, it have stock rom, haven't changed anything. I have installed latest KIES on my laptop with Win 7 x64. When I try to connect my tablet to PC, I can access it's contains, but if I try to connect to KIES it say: Cannot start service on the device. Please disconnect and reconnect the device. I try that too, but every time it's the same. I have tried to re-install KIES couple of times, but it's always the same story... Anybody have some ideas?

I able to connect in the pass, that was how I get android 3.1 upgraded to 3.2

I had the same issue, then I reinstalled the drivers, REinstalled KIES and there even was some messing around in "services". for WIFI connection thou, but it fixed my connection issue via cable.

When I bought my "8.9 tab wifi only"and plugged it up for the first time i had no problems using kies. It updated to 3.2 the NEVER worked again.Once you install kies it installes your drivers. If you uninstall kies it will ask if you want to keep the drivers or uninstall them."KEEP THE DRIVERS" I don't use kies at all. I use drag-n-drop to transfer files.You may also notice at times when moving files"mostly video" that windows explorer will crash"may just be my p.c." but a way around that is to simply zip the file,move it to your device,unzip from device using a file manager,I use "file manager HD"

Galaxy Tab 8.9 not connecting to Kies
Same problem here, Connected first time to Kies but since updating Kies I have never been able to connect.
Uninstalled and Reinstalled various times, restarting computer but still inop.

kies has many problems in its own software... ur pc can see it very well... samsung released a "Piece of Cr*P" software to just show themselves... Kies isnt really useful for anything rather than updates and syncronizing...
I saw someone posted a quote from samsung about the kies problem, and the only answer was its kies thats messing, not the tablet
I had this problem and I fixed it by reinstalling kies and basically enabling WIFI synk from pc (Kies setup guide) and after that it works from the USB.
(sorry for typos)

I had a similar problem but I ended up downloading the latest version of keis first. I also checked to make sure my computer was up to date with the latest usb drivers. After an update the Samsung keis software recognized my tab and was up and running.

first you should have usb debugging off
second, I tried all sorts of solutions (like uninstall/ install back again for kies or drivers and so on). I think there is a problem with the drivers.
If you plug in your tab, go to device manager and look for unknown devices or so (entries with exclamation marks and so )
I got it installed as samsung composite usb but also got part of the drivers not being correctly installed ( PCI flash memory having exclamation mark)
the only solution I found was to factory reset the tab. I did this and the tab is now recognized by Kies via USB without doing any additional work to the drivers or kies installation
latest kies version as of the post date, Windows 7 professional x64.
I still don't know if it was some wrong setting for an app or the firmware itself had something messed.
by the way, the tab was only 2 weeks old and it didn't connect from the very first time although the tab was just out of the box with no root/CWM recovery. just everything stock with normal apps and it didn't connect.

it happen to my nexus, but when I change to other PC, it working fine.. my 8.93G connecting very good for this moment and hope it will till i sell it..

newbie to GT-i9000M - can't connect to Kies

Hi to everybody!
I got used i9000M (Canadian) for my daughter (I have LG 3D so not really newbie to Android). It's in factory default state with 2.2 Android.
I tried to update system using Kies but have problem connecting my phone to PC. If I just boot phone up my Win 7 can see it (but not kies). I enable USB debug and Kies says something like "mode is not compatable". Should I untick USB debug and enabler KIES mode under Wireless?
But once I unplug it and plug back I get error 43:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I read and read and read... I'm ready to try odin but I don't know what exact ROM fits my SG... Also lots of stuff is connected to megaupload...
Thanks for any links in advance!

There is an option on Kies to reinstall drivers. I would suggest trying that. But above all, I would advise on rooting the phone and installing a custom ICS rom, like SlimICS. It will add tons of features and make your phone faster while conserving battery life. If you want to transfer files, just plug your phone in, and enable USB Mass Storage mode and you can just drag and drop files like you do with normal flash drives.

Thanks for reply! But here is the strange thing :
If I set USB debugging mode on the phone, my PC sees it with no problem and I see two devices in Device Manager under Portable (and they are identified as Samsung ...) But in this mode Kies doesn't connect - I get message like "unable to connect, switch phone to Kies mode ".
But once I turn debugging off, turn Kies mode on and connect the phone, my PC sees only one device and it's in USB group (in Device Manager). And now I get error 43...
So I think it's not the physical connector (otherwise I would not be able to connect at all) but rather old system - 2.2
I'll try to update it with Odin and let you guys know the result.

Also try different usb port or computer. Make sure to kill all Kies processes when you using Odin.

Thanks for help - still no luck
Guys, thanks for help! I really appreciate it!
I installed SlimICS - phone running nice. But my both computers (XP and Win7) give me errors...
Funny part is - Odin works perfectly and I can see my phone in Device Manager with no problem!
Anyway, it's not REALLY big problem, rather inconvenience.
I don't know if it matters, but I also noticed that my AC charger for LG doesn't charge i9000. Weird? Do they have different pinout?
Thanks again.

It's me again
Just for fun connected the phone to old Toshiba laptop at work with win XP, without installing any Samsung drivers and ... And Toshiba recognized phone and showed me two drives - internal and SD!!!
My home computers still giving me grief... Both systems (xp and wib7) stubbornly don't want to install drivers! They put some Microsoft driver from 2007...
I'll keep fighting (installed Kies several times, just drivers - couple versions...)
