latest version of kies

First thing to try is test each of the different usb ports on your computer - if you get the same error on each port then my first instinct would be to reinstall the samsung drivers for your computer.
If you try reinstalling the drivers below is a link to the drivers that have worked the best for me.

thanks for your replay. i already have uninstall the drivers and reinstall them with no success, but i will try to test it in other usb port and report later

this is soo bad i have try both of you recomendations and still says usb device not recognize. then it says no driver was install and when i click that it says on the driver part that windows have stop the device for a error code 43.
i have search a lot and i havent find anything close to my problem can anyone else give recomendations on this or tell me if you know something similar to this happend to other users.
ps - i also try on a win xp 32 with the same result

I know a while has gone by but just in case someone else stumbles on this thread with the same problem or in case you're still looking for an answer try dialing *#7284# which takes you to the PhoneUtil. Under USB section click on MODEM and then click on USB. Give it a try, it should work
there is a direct download for the nexus drivers found here : http://androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/ , also suggested in another similar post is to clean the usb port of your phone with alcohol and a fine brush(but remove battery if doing so)

[Q] Strange problem with Kies Mini

I'm having a problem with Kies Mini that I haven't seen discussed here and am hoping someone can help. When I start up the program I get the intro splash screen but after a few seconds the Mini window just whites out. I think the program is still running when this happens, and it even seems to recognize the usb-attached Captivate. But it's impossible to use with the blanked window. If it matters, I run Windows 7 64 bit.
Does anyone have an idea about what's going on? Is there a way to get Kies Mini to work on my PC?
Thanks in advance,
DW
Never saw that, but i can offer some kies mini suggestions:
1. Try connecting phone first and going into Kies mode on phone, after phone says connected, then open Kies mini (this is the only way mine works)
2. Kies Mini seems to dislike the "generic" Samsung drivers - so make sure those are not installed.
3. If you want to start over, uninstall Kies, Kies Mine, and any Samsung drivers in add/remove programs; then reboot and install captivate specifice drivers, then Kies Min
4. Plug phone in and fire up Media Player mode disconnect, then try Mass storage mode - doing these modes helps windows install the correct drivers for all functions
Hopefully some of this will help....

[Q] Usb not Recognised SGS HELP?

I have seen posts on here regarding this error for the sgs althought none of the solutions that have came up are working on my sgs.
i have tried multiple os and every driver you can think of also i have used usb debug mode and altered between what usb port i am using..
My main os is windows 7 64bit the error i get on screen is:
usb device not recognised...so drivers wont install. skip to device manager and then there is and unknown device when i view this windows gives the error :
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
its really starting to destroy my soul...none of the methods previously posted are working..
Please help
You dont mention Kies installed .
Install Kies on phone go to settings and select mass storage mode .
Connect USB cable wait for pc to find phone and install drivers .
jje
yeah sorry kies is installed i tried different versions of that aswell.
There is an install driver option in Kees, try to re-install driver. Be aware that in kies it takes too long to install driver(don't know why), for long time it will show 100% in progress bar but wait until you get driver successfully installed driver message in Kies, it tool more than 10 mins.
Just fixed the similar problem today only, on Windows 7 64 bit, was struggling to but re-installation worked. Earlier I also tried reinstall driver but I thought it stuck on installation so I canceled but not today I gave it full time hence I said wait till you get success message. I didn't connected the device till driver installed.
May be your problem will also get fixed by this, nothing wrong in trying.

waaaaa not recognized

my galaxy tab p1000 not recognized in download mode when im using odin...
can anybody help me iwant to reflash my tab...
Did you try to flash it anyway? Just keep trying. Good idea to be fully charged too.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
boss ill try it a couple times but cant read my device i want to reflash my tab is bricked....uhuhuh
many has done it.
As long as you can go to download mode, you are not bricked.
remember to have it charged for at least 4hrs.
Just connect it to Odin preferably at the same USB port as the one you used before.
Reboot it to download mode while data cable is connected, then try Odin.
Connecting in Download Mode
I had the same problem when i changed laptop. So on my new machine, the PC would not recognize my P1000 in the download mode. I was running win xp.
The problem was that it wasn't able to automatically locate the drivers. No wonder it wasn't. The drivers aren't built in to xp driver cache. So here is what you need to do:
Download Samsun Kies from samsung website. Do a search on google and you'll get to it.
Once downloaded, install Samsung Kies. No need to run it or anything. Once downloaded, plug that tab in download mode to USB of PC, and it will get detected and the drivers will get installed.
I still have KIES installed, but i never used it, i just installed it for the drivers.
Let me know if this helped.

Hi Dude,
Instead of installing Kies on your XP or windonws 7 for only driver, you can install driver using below guide.
Go to Google and search as Galaxy Tab Driver and go...Click Modaco Website & then Download.

Overcome's GB-stock-safe-v5 zip package contains USB drivers too, both 32bit and 64bit.
But the best is of course in linux, just a single line of definition in udev.
same here - SOLVED
I had the same problem (not recognized).. What I did to resolve the problem by:
1. Re-install Samsung USB drivers (got from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981)
2. Set the tab in DL mode and connect to the PC... wait for windows to install drivers.... DONE!
3. Startd Odin_v1.83.. CONNECTED!!! (seen by yellow COM#)
Hope this helps.. HIT THANKS PLS!

[Q] Trouble with Samsung USB Drivers version 1.5.18.0 + KIES

Hello.
I recently tried to root my phone with the S3 Mini Toolkit. I have the GT-I8190 international version.
It said that I needed to Install the device drivers first (which is the v1.5.18.0).
So I did it as instructed in the command prompt. When it finished installing the driver, and I plugged my device as instructed, suddenly came an error message "Samsung Hardware ID is missing error", and my Mini became unrecognized all of a sudden. I couldn't access my device storage.
There was an error message too popped up in my device saying that It cannot find a driver in my PC for my device.
I tried to install KIES afterward, hoping that it can solve the problem. Thing is, it didn't. My device was still not recognized, and KIES couldn't recognize it either (Connecting.....for, like forever).
I then tried to Google the problem, and came by a forum, saying that it was the 1.5 USB Drivers that caused the problem (but the case being talked in the forum is for Galaxy S3). Said that my PC need to uninstall the 1.5 drivers, uninstall KIES, deactivate the automatic device installation by Windows, and install the 1.4 version.
Well, what I can find in the internet is the 1.3 USB Drivers, so I tried the instructions, and installed the version 1.3 USB Drivers, and my PC recognized my device again, and able to access the storage.
(also, the 1.3 drivers made Odin unable to recognize my phone too in download mode).
Does anybody here have ever experienced the same problem as mine? Or did I do something wrong?
I managed to root my Mini, being not recognized by the PC (but registered at the toolkit) in the whole process, and then did the whole uninstalling and re-install the USB drivers so that I can access my storage again.
Because it's rather a painful process if in the future I want to use the toolkit again with the newest drivers.
Note:
- before rooting, I did the latest OTA update.
My current device info is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I8190DXAMA2
Build vnumber JZO54K.I8190DXAMA2
Region Indonesia
Thank you very much
Bumped. Can anybody gives me some enlightenment about this issue? Thanks
