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

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
Hi All,
I recently bought a i9000 galaxy s from Turkey, phone doesn't have the market app by default. I want to make the minimum changes to my phone so that I can access the android market. I looked through the previous posts but I am lost. Hopefully someone can point to the right direction.
Here is the version info:
pda i9000jvjh1
phone i9000jxjg2
csc i9000trcji1
Here is what I attempted so far:
- I can access recovery/download modes.
- Rooted the phone. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304)
- Running system/app/Vending.apk gives a parse error.
- Installed the market-enabler app
- Found a vending.apk on another website and copied it to the sd-card, I was able to install it but when I try to download an app it says: "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again." Also when I look at the downloads tap of the market I see that things are stuck at "starting download..".
What should I do next? There is an update to Froyo available on Kies for my device, but I learnt that update doesn't have the market app either.
P.S.: I am on a Mac and have limited access to windows.
Thanks a lot.

Is this the correct section of the forum for this kind of question or should I repost somewhere else? Thanks.
Why dont you flash a whole new firmware, it comes included, you will also be stock and have no unnecessary modifications

I have been working on this issue for the past couple days but couldn't resolve it. It seems like flashing to a new firmware is the way to go. I wondering if flashing would void any warranties? Also how do I decide which firmware to use? I'd appreciate if someone could suggest a firmware. Thanks a lot.

Hey samsunghgt,
Have you found a solution for the market issue? Did you flash a new firmware? If so, whiich one did you flash ? And is it working well?
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 :/
Greetings all
I have spent a couple of evenings searching for an answer in the forum so apologies if I missed it. I have a SGS I9000 which, conveniently, won't enter update mode (3 button approach). Not wishing to make a jig the only way I can update my firmware is, I think, with Kies. Oh dear.
Have DL's Kies 2.0.2.11071_128_2 (most recently, similar problem with earlier versions). When I launch Kies I get an Application Error, Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Different process ID each time.
I am on XP SP3 with .NET 3.5 and all other required resources installed. Any suggestions???
SGS - Great 'phone, Kies - POS!
have you tryed restoring your pc to an earlier date before you had this error or kies installed
I had exactly the same problem after installing the latest version of kies. Restoring windows to an earlier date solved the issue.
i hate driver kies . it create many random issue
I've been wanting to upgrade my Gear to Tizen ever since I heard it was coming out. May 30th comes and goes and it seems that every country in the world except the US received the update via Samsung themselves. Fast-forward a month and a half and I'm getting impatient.
I have a Mac. I downloaded the BTU firmware from SamMobile.com. I tried flashing the update using Heimdall without any luck. I decided to use my mom's PC to try flashing it via Odin (using v3.09, if it's relevant), except because I'm so used to Mac, I didn't think to update her USB drivers. Needless to say, things didn't go smoothly.
Now, I'm stuck with a Gear that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Kies is stupid and won't give a stock recovery unless Kies itself tried installing the upgrade.
So, how do I get my Gear working again? At this point, I'd just like my Gear to be functional again and I appreciate all help anyone can give, though if anyone can help me out with getting the Tizen update as well, that'd be great.
EDIT: Read the rules, did a search. Seems the problem could be that I used a NL1 ROM instead of an NE9. I'll try that again when the file downloads. Now, my bigger question is, do I need to go through any recovery procedures before trying again?
EDIT 2: Looks like the NE9 ROM did the trick. Sorry for wasting anyone's time. That said, all of SamMobile's firmwares for the Gear are NL1, so anyone else looking to update, be sure to find a NE9 ROM.
