please help me :- after our long wait for 2.2 to become avail for my galaxy s i was over the moon when i was 'allowed' to upgrade but to my horror when downloading to the phone windows vista decided it didn't recognize my device and terminated connection.
ive tried a few things since to try to rectify , i've deleted then reinstalled kies , kies was also telling me to go into recovery mode which my unit doesn't do , the phone & pc communicate fine to upload & download reg media etc it just seems that when digging android is doing his thing on my screen the pc decides NO!!!!!.
Also after each attempt to upgrade the phone seems to be un-affected and will boot & work without any problems.
As i said before please help as i bought android rather than sellout to you know who and all my 'i' mates are laughing.........
i'm desperate guys please help or point me in the right direction.

It might be your antivirus or any other program using/ connected to your phone other than kies.
You can do few possible things, of I can think of
1. Turn off your antivirus during upgrade
2. use another USB cable
3. restart the mobile
4. check if you can copy/ paste files from/ to mobile/ computer
5. If yes, you should be able to upgrade through Kies
6. Sometimes Samsung server is down
If it doesnot help, let me know
many thanks I will try this asap
well ive tried the anti-virus & firewall thing with no effect,is there a coinsidence that my model doesn't have 3 button reset and this problem? unfortunately im not pc savy enough to know where the files are on the pc to copy n paste. i did try a diferent cable & after each attempt to ugrade & device not recognized the phone will only start after ive whipped the battery out ...........................so once again any help would be great , thanks.

Dear I am not sure what wrong there, as you said 3 Button combo is not working, I would suggest to enable it 1st from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810686
Once it is working, you will be able to flash/ install any firmware
maybe If you open Kies as Administrator, it might solve your problem or 1st repair the windows using windows CD and then open kies as Admin and try the same process. I hope you understand I am just guessing what might be the problem with your PC

i tried that before, but funny thing is, i does not even have com.seesmic folder on my internal sd card>android>data> . i set show hidden files from tools>folder options.
welcome to the world of Samsung!!
ok guyz i found out the solution. all you need to download microsoft remote desktop connection manager and its started to working again. i hope if someone have same problem as me, can solve it.
solution for me was click ontop left corner of kies, and choose restore/reinstall phone drivers. I highly doubt the suggest fix above.

nah it works for me. i do not know what was the connection between two of them. but i think damn windows cant detect the phone cause of that. you can try also. ..............
but one problem still there. no matter how many times i connect to kies, every time after i disconnect my internet sd and phone storage are unavailable. so i need to go to about phone>usb settings>mass storage mode to fix this every time..................
well you guys want to know what worked for me?
So I heard that the official 2.2 was out, and so just like a lot of you, I tried upgrading my SGS using KIES...
I had firmware 2.1 on my phone and KIES couldn't / wouldn't recognize my SGS... just like the OP, it always stayed on "connecting device please wait bla bla bla" ... so I just went to samfirmware.com or whatever it's called .. and I downloaded the latest firmware 2.2 for my device, which was the I9000XWJPA, and flashed it on my SGS, after that I tried to connect with KIES again, and KIES finally recognized my SGS.. so I flashed the old firmware back onto my SGS(Eclair 2.1) because I wanted to use an official 2.2 firmware, so I was on 2.1 again and I tried to connect my SGS on KIES, and again it got stuck on "connecting device please bla bla bla" ... so I just decided to use the 2.2 firmware I9000XWJPA from samfirmware.com ...
and just now I've tried connecting my SGS on KIES and guess what? KIES recognizes my phone -_-
So long story short:
On firmware 2.1: KIES doesn't recognize my phone
On firmware 2.2: KIES does recognize my phone
all I have to say to that is:
Whatever Samsung!! KIES is one F*[k€d up program you've got there!! I'm not dissatisfied with my SGS or anything, but I do think this will be my last phone from Samsung...
Sigh, I hate Kies, it never works. Just installed it now and my S3 won't connect. Hangs. I rebooted device/phone followed connection settings.. no dice. Phone says connected, but Kies hangs as soon as the phone says connected. It gets unlocked if you hit disconnect on the phone... these guys really can't do software. I miss Nokia software.
Anyways.. uninstalled it.. and now I came across this thread.. should have tried reinstalling the phone drivers.. fudge. Oh well. I'll just do a OTA update of my firmware when the servers are less slammed.
Before you wipe any data or factory reset etc, you may want to try the following.
I know there are many solutions offered around the internet for this horrendous problem - if you are one of those poor people, like me, that get the constant trying to connect message, the MTP error message or if kies can read your phone and you get the 'can't update device' error - then hopefully this solution will help.
I myself have tried everything for many, many months. Downloading the new Kies software, uninstalling, reinstalling it, getting the latest USB drivers (both manually and using Kies), phoning Samsung, going to their Service Centre - all to no avail.
My phone was originally on Orange and I unlocked it to O2. This solution worked for me. And, best of all, you don't have to reboot, factory reset or wipe any data! Joy!
All you need to do is download a very simple utility software developed by one of the wonderful guys over on AndroidForums (I'm unable to post link, due to being a new member, but head over to Android Forums and search 'solution/tutorial galaxy s i9000 mtp application crashing html (will show thread title in bold, click on this) then scroll down a little way and look for the FileSearcherforKiesFix.zip file.
Once you have this utility, connect your SGS to computer via the usb cable, using mass storage mode. Run the utility and find the drive on the computer for the phone - it will search for files with characters of 16 or more. Once you find any go into the computer, find corresponding drive for the phone on the computer and delete this file. Run the application again to double check.
Now I will say that it is a good idea to take out any external memory cards before you run the utility and just have the phone drive to search.
Once you've done this, put phone back into kies mode and run Kies. If it doesn't connect up, do the above again; put phone into mass storage mode and run utility again. Sometimes files show up again after disconnecting and re-connecting. I found a total of four files, that's all! Make sure you definately delete them.
When you have done this, connect to Kies, again in Kies mode, and your phone should be recognised. You will then get offered any firmware updates.
Good luck - hope this works for you. Let me know.
So simple (took me 6 months to find this too!).
I will finish by saying that although my firmware updated, it was to a more recent 2.1 eclair version, as it seems apparently, Orange have not 'officially' released 2.2 for their phones as yet; have heard end of January!! What???!!
So patience patience patience!!
Good luck people.
Any questions please ask.
i have tride this for many times but still not working. i want to smash my phone
Hi,
I have a problem connecting my phone to Samsung KIES. My phone is Galaxy S I9000 running Android 2.2. My PC is runnning windows 7 x64 and the latest KIES version 2.0.0.11032_12. When I connect my phone to PC, phone's screen shows that it is ready to connect with KIES. PC founds the divice as a memory card. But when I turn on KIES it only shows 'Connecting...' but it never really connects. Moreover, when phone is in DOWNLOAD mode even ODIN cannot connect.
Maybe someone had a similar problem or has an idea how it could be solved. It would be very helpful.

Believe me I did. I have tried solutions that i have found in this forum and what i have found in Google. However, nothing helped. There are many different cases in this situation and I hope that I have missed something or at least some one could tell me is this my PC's problem or phone's
kies is a buggy program & this shows more on win7 x64 which is very particular about the driver behavior, I just lost phone connection & now cant get it to connect.
+1 I have a quad-core running W7x64 and Kies takes about 30 seconds just to load. It's so ridiculously slow and has only ever detected my phone twice.
Hopefully you can find a 32-bit laptop or PC to use temporarily.
As an aside... a VM such as XP Mode may help as you could install XP 32-bit and connect the USB through to the VM guest? Unsure if this would help so may be useless advice
The latest Kies loads and finds phone on my X64 but did not before .
Clear your USB drivers .

I just want to know how to get into this "PC Studio" mode Kies mentions everytime I start it up. Its really ticking me off cuz I want to get the latest firmware on there but I can't seem to figure out how....
Download latest Kies from Samsung .
Connect phone using Kies mode selected on phone .
Connection fails its worth setting phone to USB mass storage mode and let the drivers install .
Tools Firmware upgrade . PC Studio nothing to do with firmware upgrade its an older version of Kies type software .
Android 2.2 next upgrade was 2.2.1 but not all network phone providers have updated to 2.2.1 as most are waiting for the release of 2.3 .So dont go looking for 2.3 its not on the servers .

have you tried killing all samsung/kies processes in the taskmanager (ctrl+shift+esc) that could help
If your phone is only not recognized in download mode, try this solution:
http://arvindgaba.com/computer/sams...o-install-for-samsung-galaxy-s-kies-resolved/
It worked for me when my Windows 7 x64 suddenly wouldn't recognize mine. Something gets screwed by a Windows update in some cases (one which specifically supplies Samsung drivers).
Thanks

Thanks, I have this problem for 40 days (I spend many, many time looking for the solution), sometimes my SGS connect (I need to reeboot 1 to 3 times or more) and connect. When is connected I disconnect and try again and the same problem the PC dont recognize de SGS, but now I connect then disconnect, connect again and work. I hope that this solution work always. I hope, up to now work. I was looking for a solution all days, I saw this alternative, but it was difficult to do, but with the link all was very simple and the most important it work for me. Sorry for my english, and Thanks again I dont try in download mode, but i have an alternative to go to download if the SGS is connected. Carlos
But when I reboot the SGS the problem appears again I will continue with this issue. I dont know I am lost.
I own a Galaxy S GT-i9000( bought at SFR)
When I connect it to computer I get the prompt that tells to choose between Storage, Kies...
But whatever I choose the computer tells me USB Device not recognised.
Now I was stupid enough to do the following:
I managed to root using Z4root by copying the APK file on external sd .
I got rom manager and updated my recovery.
I updated using the CM10-unofficial rom that is in the development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775169
The Mobile Network was not working so I did the following
I restored the nand that i did in recovery and now the phone is frozen on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)
Now I can go to Download mode but I can't go to recovery mode.
Let me remind you that my USB data connection is not working. So even though I enter into the Download mode I am not able to use Odin. If you know somthing that I am not doing, let me know.
So now I am looking for a solution that would permit me to flash without USB or allow me to go to recovery mode. Or a tutorial on how to change the usb port myself.
Thanks in advance.

You can try using Mobile Odin.
Also, you can try Heimdall method: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-flashing-to-original-rom-using-heimdall.126/
Hey
have you tried to connect it in Download mode??
Need more solutions
Thanks again to all of you that have answered me so fast.
Well I just finished trying all that you suggested.
unfortunately am still at the same point. Whatever I do, whatever drivers am putting in, cleaning inside the USB port with methylated spirit... Not getting Odin or Kies to detect it.
I read somewhere that when the data connection works, I should see the device named Samsung Device even before installing the drivers, but all I am getting is Unknown device. I still went ahead uninstalling and installing the drivers you provided and there is no successful outcome so far.
I still have faith. I have a little knowledge in electronics. I can open my phone and get to the usb port. My problem is I don't get any tutorial on how to replace the usb port. The thing is the connections are very tiny. I can also do with a bypass way that could make me install a 2nd usb port temporarily just long enough to flash the phone.
Or a hardware solution if I have to remove and flash a specific IC in a certain manner.
Thank you in advance.

hi there,
after doing alot of stuff to your phone that wasnt nessacary i'm not surprised it doesnt work er sorry . the only thing i can think of is the following whenever i have a problem with windows i go to linux, which is faster , much more efficient . so i suggest that you install linux ( ubuntu the best ) and try using odin with the linux version, it often detects things that windows doesnt see. other than that sorry cant think of anything else .
see ya
Trying it

Anything Else?
Does anyone have something else to suggest or I should consider my phone dead?
Look like a quite number of people are having this same issue and haven't got over it.
I just hang on and appeal to all of you cos I know XDA is the best place where I can get a solution.
Lemme know any suggestion... even the ones you are not sure can help. Am willing to do anything.
