[Q] Darkys 9.3 and Kies? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
its me again .
I have a simple question maybe anyone knows bout it.
First of all, like always i searched like ****.
I have the darkyS v9.3 and a speedmodkernel.
Now i tried to get my Samsung i9000, work with Kies 2.0.
But in the uper Corner, its just trying to get Connection, i let it search about 10min now.
When i do it on with just USB its connecting imediately.
Thx 4 sa HelP.

Kies is **** mate so don't worry about it. Kies connects for me on Darkys 9.3 rom

Kies its a known problem and i never found an actual workaround bar a different computer .
However its no loss as you can do everything without Kies and the only reason for Kies is the genuine firmware update route and you have locked yourself out of that with non genuine rom anyway .

[q] why cant my laptop see my sgs after i have successfully flashed darky's 5,2 rom?

WHY CANT MY LAPTOP SEE MY GALAXY S AFTER I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED DARKY'S 5,2 ROM??
I have successfully flashed Darky's 5.2 Gingerbread themed ROM. However my computer cannot see my device anymore. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
If you read up on jpu then you'd know that it breaks kies. Its the rom itself not darkys or anyone's fault. Just use external mount. Forget kies ever existed.

i was aware that Kies wouldnt work but I wasnt clear that my pc wouldnt detect my SGS as a device when it was plugged in. Please excuse my question if it is a little basic but apart from just plugged my phone into my laptop (which i have done alreadyo what do you mean by 'Just use external mount'? How do I do this?
Thanking you in advance

Samsung Galaxy S, how do i Root ?

Hi Guys,
I was recommended to you by a good friend of mine. I recently pyrchased a Samsung Galaxy S mobile phone, and i must say what a great phone, i had had it for a couple of days and want to root it it currently runs 2.1 eclair is it ? and was given a file to download that contains 2 files one telling you how to root and other with root file which is ( z4root.1.3.0.apk ) now ihave already conected usb cable and have done this so far -
Gone into applications and checked unknown sources box!
Then gone into development and checked the usb debugging box!
now where it tells me to put root file into memory card via usb ! now this is where we get stuck dont know how to put root file into memory card and it should go into into internal memory not external ??
just need help and advice on what to do next so i can root my mob and know that i am in the right place for this advice .
Thanking you all in advance.

You can use Z4root for rooting 2.1 & 2.2 only.
For rooting 2.2.1 and above you must need a computer. Re-install the USB drivers and check it again.
hi thanks for that mine is 2.1 so why is my mob showing up on lappy when i connect with usb cable ?
Why you're still on Eclair 2.1? Very Strange......
I'd say first update it to 2.2.1 of your region. There is a hell of performance/speed difference in 2.2.1 & 2.1.
Why do you want to root it?
i still dont know why my lappy not seeing my mob when connected to each other ?
You need to download samsung kies this will install the drivers for your laptop to recognise your device. If i were you I would not root at all incase anything happens to your device. Download kies, update your phone and then do A LOT of reading about root.

Yep kies can be downloaded from samsung website. Or google it which will get you to the direct samsung download website somehow. When you install Kies it will install the drivers, then you can connect your phone by USB to the PC.
Yes, on 2.1. it is a bit slow (what you describe as "freeze"). If you upgrade the firmware with Kies to 2.2.1 it will be faster so you really should do that.
Why not root a phone? That's easy to answer as all the guides say here in the forums:
you should only root if:
- you know what rooting is and what it's for
- if you actually really need root (most apps won't)
why should you not root:
- "it sounds like it's something I need but I have no idea why"
- rooting requires flashing (depending on ROM) and that can "bricK" your phone (one way or the other), forcing you to get a Jig (in one of the better results) or send it in for repair (in the very worst case ever)
- rooting a phone can potentially damage your phone (by user error or by malicious apps, just think of what that dude did to jailbreaked iphones in the Netherlands once).
I'm a total Linux noob but I claim to know the difference between a limited user account and a super user (as it is similar in Windows).
So I know I have access to the system files on the phone and I know I could mess up my whole phone and break it if I mess around with these files.
Personally, I did not root my phone until I really had needs for that (such as Titanium backup). As said, many apps won't even need root access.
Anyways, do what I did: start reading those guides, they might be long, some not so newbie friendly and there are quite too many duplicates (kind of) but they contain a lot that is good to know before trying some more advanced stuff. This really saved my phone on the very first flashing already! Do some selective reading.
Should you really have needs for rooting after all that reading and only want to root but no other changes (yet) I suggest using CF-Root by Chainfire as that is a stock kernel (part of a ROM), so basically it just adds root and that's it (needs to be flashed so better read those guides).

@NasrulBond
Charlie is noob to all this and you asking why wouldnt he FLASH something to his phone that he isnt even able to connect to laptop ??????

I noticed on your first post you checked the debugging, go to settings applications development and uncheck debugging then open kies then connect phone with usb, kies should then install the drivers and it should tell you there is a firmware update which will hopefully give you 2.2.1, then you can disconnect phone, close kies, go back into development and check debugging, connect phone to pc and on phone pull down the information bar and select to copy files to your pc, then you can see your phone as a external drive. Hope this helps and works

[Q] I am the only one who is pissed off ????

I upgrade my i9000 with KIES to froyo.dxjpe and since this i cant use my internet trough wifi anymore :-(
I try all the tips what i found already: change to fix IP, reset my router, whipe the mobile, change the security on my router, try another router, try another wifi net and and and .... i think i run truogh all what i found ..... no way :-(
If i switch the wifi on, i get a connection, become a valid IP, can open the router page, can ping the mobile from the router but if i try to open any web page or market it says network problem ....
Anyone have any idea ????
No, i will not use odin or something else, im fare away from any worst case help :-(

since you will not use odin, why not just send back to warranty? doh.
I will not send it back, because it was working before very perfect, it is more or less full installed with all what I need and to send it back (here where I am) let me in the worst case 4 weeks without mobile ..... ;-(

A back up data and factory reset .
B update firmware again via Kies
C was your phone lagfixed or rooted or non standard rom on before upgrade .
D service centre your only choice if you do not want to go down other routes .
jje
A: I did already
B: Kies say im on the newest software (froyo.dxjpe)
C: nothing at all
D: ....... im affraid this is the last way .... its one day by car from me - one way .....
Thank you !!
[QUOTE=olsig;
B: Kies say im on the newest software (froyo.dxjpe)
Then it is the newest software that has been uploaded by the network supplier of your phone /
No reinstall/fix firmware on Kies ???
What i would do is delete any WiFi access points on the phone .
Set router with no security and no password .
Turn wifi on on phone and find router connect .
jje
I got a similar problem. At rebot if I first turn on the bluetooth the wi-fi wont work. If I first turn on the wi-fi, the bluetooth wont work. I am on Simply Honey 3.1.
What the hell do you have against using ODIN? Unless you have a power outage or rip the phone out too quick there won't be an issue. If you want to make it even safer use heimdall.

And lots of people already "bricked" their phone by using Odin/Heimdall, including myself (but had a jig luckily). Not blaming the software, it seems to be caused by the USB connection for most people (and I wasn't aware I should NOT use an USB hub as those stickies did not mention it). With Kies it should somewhat safer, never had any issues with it. And why not use it if it's installed already anyway and if he only wants to upgrade to the latest official firmware.
So in case he is just another-messed-up-my-phone guy after flashing he's stuck without help.
As recommended before, delete the wifi settings and set it up again on the phone, maybe that does the trick.
Also, check if you are able to browse a website by browsing its IP instead of its url. Almost sounds like a DNS problem but could be anything really.
KIES IS SAFER ????
how many times have we seen thread about bricked devices after OFFICIAL updates.
bricks caused by ODIN is down to user error !! not the porgram itself, people with no knowledge cause bricked phone.
There would be no point of an android phone if ODIN wasnt made, no custom ROMs, No 3 button fix, No kernel, No nothing. it would be like having an iPhone.
ODIN is 100% safe if you know what your doing.
'ODIN is 100% safe if you know what your doing'
I have used Odin to flash 3 button fix but tend not to use it because I know I dont really know what Im doing :-D
last but not least the service center somehow.
I have the same reason to leave my fingers away from ODIN or Heimdal .... its maybe easy if you know what you do ... i dont know it .... then its maybe not so easy :-( And if i see here how many story's about bricked mobiles .... its better i dont do it. What i said the next service center is one day by car from here ... :-(
But thanks for all ideas !!!
It makes me only sad to go the official way with KIES and then come in trouble like this .... All was working perfect before. The only change was this KIES update ...
There's one thing that doesn't involve Odin but might help:
- get root priviledges on your phone (read about this if you're not familiar with it's effects on your device)
- download SpoofFW from market (lets your phone lie to Kies that it's still 2.1)
- re-apply update via Kies
Thanks myrddral !
I will check out how too root it and try your idea .... I will post my experiences .... Lets hope the best
Hi myrddral,
I root my mobile now with SuperOneClick - i download the app SpoofFW but it says dont use it if the three button function is not working on your mobile .... its not working with my :-(( im a little bit scared now ..... Do u think its okay to try it ????
Have you ever check back your APNs after that? Cause sometime after flashing the new FW it will mess up a little bit your APNs. Check it with your line provider to make sure they match!
Yes everything is still and always working before and after the last update. except the wifi not more :-(
Gm, isn't flashing your phone through odin, heimdall or whatever could be dangerous only if you are flashing the bootloader? If you have the normal 3-button recovery, I mean.
I dont have the three button recovery .... but it seems a "living" mystery ....i just try my wifi again, OPERA and Market say still no connection or network error but i receive e-mails by wifi .... ?!?!?!?! I send my self a mail in google mail by laptop it arrive on the mobile and i answer it on the mobile and i can see it in the laptop too ..... ?!?!?!

Phone not detecting kies mode..

My i9003 doesnt ever go into kies mode ( pc suite ) even when I select it. it jst exits back to home screen... this started happening after i purchased my memory card...
Ive tried dismounting it and then plugging in, reinstalling kies, trying other computers... nothing... i dont want to format my phone... any fix for my problem?
When i plug in phone and select kies mode... phone goes into standby mode(home screen) and kies keeps on connecting/searching.... it NEVER connects...
help!
Why do you use Kies btw? No one uses Kies unless for drivers.
Also if your that hesitant. You should be more informative and write down your firmware, Or else you won't get much support
dude just selecet kies as default in usb connection mode under connectivity in settings.and then connect to ur pc.it will work.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
Reinstall your phone drivers, go to tools -> install drivers
incase your using a different Launcher like, adw, launcher pro etc then try switching back to the default launcher and then try connecting through kies, i had the same problem

[Q] Kies not converting spb to vcf

Since the phone is rooted i cant restore using kies.. i read on the forum you could save as vcf and then import on the phone, the problem is when i select so, it just doesnt save.. Even after i press Save...
I have alot of contacts... arround 300.. is there any other solution?
Cheers.
Having the exact same problem, Kies doesn't save anything at all, no matter what file type.
New version has a problem
hey guys, I have been pulling my hair out due to this problem by Kies. A quick fix for me was to download an older version that worked from here "http://tinyurl.com/mzebs74". 2.5.x worked. Good luck to all who have gotten mad over this problem

Thanks guys, I've used the software edition "Samsung Kies 2.5.2.13021_10" and it really worked. If you're using Windows 8, run the program in compatibility mode since some older versions don't support that.
