Downloaded latest version of Kies (1.5.3.10093_82) from Samsung mobile site and now phone not recognised! Grrr
No longer have previous versions!
Error in Kies.log reads "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int64' to type 'System.String'."
Any ideas anyone?
if you find one i'll be dying to know - i've tried absolutely everything possible from every single forum I can find and non of them work.
Just noticed link to Kies has been removed

as the title of the topic says i can't get KIES to install in order to upgrade to the latest froyo 2.2. i've searched the forums here at xda and so far haven't found a topic that would relate to the problem i'm having:
when i run the setup for KIES i get the error which is visible in the picture below. i have done some googling and as far as i can understand it the 2057.mst file is some localized language file where the KIES installer gets stuck and doesn't proceed. the funny thing is that the 2057.mst file is in the setup folder as i have circled it in the image below...
i've searched the internet for many hours now and i can't find the solution to the problem, which is mainly the inability to install froyo... i have used odin for previous flashes, however as i understand it the KIES flasher and the froyo firmware it applies isn't the same as the process in odin, therefore i'm desperate to get this thing working... if anyone has any advice or experience with the simillar problem any kind of help would be greatly appreciated
Hi folks, looking for some help here please.
I have a samsung galaxy s on the three network in the UK.
I have not rooted or applied any lag fixes to it at present as i dont want to invalidate the warranty at such an early stage.
The official Froyo update became available via Kies this morning and i tried to update.
The phone connected to Kies alright, it downloaded the binary file OK and then stated it would start instal.
The progress bar did not move but my laptop made the sound when a USB device disconnects, then a second or two later made the same sound which i was taking to mean that the phone had reconnected, however Kies came up with a message that the connection had been terminated and then another message stating there had been an unexpected error and that the upgrade had failed.
It then offered to recover the phone.
Instructions were to remove the cable, remove the battery, start phone in recovery mode and then to reconnect cable. I did all of this but when i reconnect the cable, my phone is not recognised as having connected and nothing else happens.
If i restart phone it works OK on old firmware but if i try upgrading again, Kies gives a message that a previous upgrade failed and i should attempt recovering firmware. I have been at this for hours now with no joy.
I have two options in Kies, either to attempt upgrade again which always ends in error message that unexpected error occured, or to attempt recovery and in this case my phone is not shown as connected. When i start in recovery mode should i select any option or just leave it at the screen that appears.
At this point i really dont want to try any other firmwares or fixes so would really appreciate if anyone has had similar problems being able to throw me a lifeline.
Thanks for any help.
Sorry i cant help you but are you on payg or contract with 3?, im on contract with 3 but kies is not showing any firmware upgrade for me
I have had a three contract since they began, however i bought the samsung galaxy s about a month ago to replace my Nokia N86 as i fancied a change and didnt want to wait almost a year. So basically it is my contracted sim into a bought PAYG phone.
I have been following the posts at blog.three (sorry not able to post full URL) and they reported on Friday that the update would be here soon. Logged in to Kies this morning and it stated an update was due. My head is bursting with this as i have read so many posts and tried so many instals, and reinstals of Kies, i have tried upgrading with Sim card and SD card removed, still no joy. i am beginning to wonder if there is another flaw with the three version of froyo. Good luck anyway.
p.s, asking if i was on PAYG or contract made me think, so i tried putting the PAYG sim card in that i got with the phone, connected to Kies and upgrade still available however same error when trying to upgrade. The rollout may be by region or by banks of phone numbers, so you should get it shortly, although heres hoping it works for you
Thanks for the reply Doc, could you pm me that url pls?
Good luck to you with solving your problem.
Doc, just to let you know you aren't alone - I too have the same problem - tried it on both computers - says the update is available, it starts the download, the knocks the phone into download mode before coming up with an error message. I have tried to put it into recovery mode and it still fails - however I can just restart the phone and the old firmware is still in place.
No lagfix/root etc. Just a bog standard three phone.
Anyone who could help please!!!!!!!!
I'm in Canada, on Bell. using the baseband version i9000UGJL2. Its not rooted or anything.
it started yesterday, but I can't connect to twitter, through apps, or even through the web browser. It will work if I have the phone on Wifi, but it won't work on 3G/HSPA. All other apps and websites work fine.
There's appearantly a new firmware out, but Kies won't let me update to it. I tried using the registry editor to force the update, but when the process starts, it stops and says its not available for my firmware version.
I had to use Kies (older version back around the new year) & the 1.7 reg editor to force update to froyo. Is there anything else I can do with what I've got? Or do I need to look into rooting it? I'm kind of new to all this, so any help would be appreciated. TIA
What new firmware ??
Most likely a Twitter/ your Twitter account /settings problem as its both an app and web problem .
Rooting will not help that's only gaining administrator rights over your phone .

Hi
Just updated my Tab after Kies informed me that there was a new version, but after the update, Kies is bluntly refusing to connect to the tab. Just says 'Connecting...' forever.
I'm guessing that Samsung has stupidly managed to update the firmware in the device to a version that Kies cannot talk to.
Anyone else have this issue. Until I get it resolved there will be no further updates on my GT.
The build no post update is: FROYO.XWJJ3
I've done all the usual things: restart pc, restart tab, reinstall kies, install kies on fresh machine, blah, none of which have helped.
Any idea's?
Interestingly, post update, the only thing that I see thats different is that Samsung has installed 'The Dark Knight' and 'Clash of the Titans' trailers on my tab (now deleted). Those two files make up the lions share of the 'update' that I downloaded. Cheeky blighters. 'Sky News' and Whsmiths 'eBooks' apps have also appears - very very cheeky - enough rubbish on the tab beforehand without Samsung adding more. The new 'Apps' cant be deleted either...

So i heard about the 2.3.3 updated for the tab and i decided to check via kies
And knowing (from my SGS) that i have to update first with the old update to get the latest i decided to do that (the one from January or something)
But when i try i get an Error Saying that Kies could not be administrator permission from the Tab
Is this a known problem?
PS: anyone know how to change the language in Kies? i would prefer it in english because it makes it easier to describe problems
some users over at swedroid have some issues with sgs. no solution yet
Sorry. not allowed to post link
So i changed computers (usually do kies updates on my laptop) and its working fine
currently half way though the firmware update
Unable to update via Kies as well
I am getting the same message. States that I do not have the permission of the P1000 device administrator.
Was trying to update an unlocked Euro P1000, using the newest version of Kies and Windows 7 Premium. Also tried to use my XP to do the same, gets stuck on the screen after hitting the update button, or comes back with an "unknown error."
I hate Kies, but am would rather not root and bootload as I'm selling this in the next month or so.
Think I am moving away from Samsung. Love their hardware (have a Galaxy S and Tab), but hate their support and software updating.
Hello,
I can only suggest you to look at Overcome rom in the developers section.
There is an amizing guide explaining you step by step how to upgrade your tab and at the end you'll have a much better 2.3.3 rom than Samsung stock one.
If you still want only Samsung rom stop the update process when it says to install Overcome and you'll end-up with a very clean rooted stock 2.3.3
best solution seems to be a clean install of Kies. Uninstall, clean registry, download new from samsung, install. Kies must be center of gravity when it comes to bugs :/
