[Q] unable to get kies working on w7 64, tried everything how can I flash firmware?

Hi all,
I am unable to get Kies to recognise my galaxy s (when in Kies mode) or windows for that matter. I've tried installing the samsung usb drivers etc using the latest version of kies, still doesn't work.
What options do I have now in terms of firmware flashing? (I'm not installing 32bit xp just to flash my phone)
Cheers

if you search the forums you will find your answer, which will be along the line sof using Odin, very easy to use, so good luck and enjoy.

win7-64bit and kies connection semi-working method
I've tried almost all methods mentioned on different forums...but since i'm unwilling to mess to much around i've opted for this way:
using latest kies 1.5.3. 80something... on win7 64 bit..
remove the lockpattern from the phone if yo uhave it enabled
install kies...remove the kies autostart option and the kies trayagent
do the repair drivers and reboot
ones the bios screen is done..have the phone unlocked and connect to pc/laptop
wait and wait some more after login to windows..
one most occasions windows will finally tell you it have a new device ready for you...then open kies and life is good.. at least until like in my case the laptop goes into powersave mode and the connections are broken and I have to do the reboot step again
the firmware update from jf__ something to jm__ something was a hassle...but after a few attempts to run it the darn thing finally worked..
hope this helps

thanks for the help b, tried it but didn't work
I think the official word from samsung is that kies does not support windows 7 64.
Seriously regret ever getting this phone.

i am with win7 x64, fine here
using odin to flash rom is dam easy job.

Kies updated to _82 today.

the _82 update fixed closing the firmware updater for me that was in the last 2 builds on win7 x64 , it promptly closes having not used up more than 33mb ram when I click cancel or close after checking for new firmware, previously it billowed up to over 1300mb use and really flawed my system until it, kies and the connection manager were terminated fully.

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:

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 had exactly the same.. stop using Kies and go for Odin!

ok Tried on my wifes pc today, and the same thing happens. i can see kies is downloading, and preparing, the phone turns on with a little green guy, and now stock at 0%. the pc isn´t frozen, and taskman tells my both kies and firmware update is running.
How long does it normaly take to update the phone. im at over 1 h. now and nothing had happend.
About odin, is future update through kies still possible.
Remember my old wave phone, after manualy update , kies then complaind about not been able to update to my phone, cause wrong firm installed.

Yes but what does it care? Kies is known as a bad flashing tool. Odin is much better.. If you are using Win7 x64 you can forget using Kies properly. I suggest you just backup your numbers using kies and then start using Odin.

Odin is much better. Kies bricks phones.

When I first updated my phone through Kies it took about 15-20 minutes, if you want to update your phone using Stock Rom (that is the ROM you're trying to update throgh kies - you have to take note of the number and letters before updates) i advice you too to use Odin.

Ok ill give odin a go.
Does odin clear all settings and apps installed, like MultiLoader did when flashing my wave.
I know about falshing the right firmware, it was a ***** to get my hands on Danish firm to the old wave, hope i more luck finding the latest in danish for the Galaxy.
Right now im very very happy that i flushed that sammy wave the galaxy is so much faster and fun to use.
thanks for replying. Odin it is.

A friend just managed to update his SGS+ via Kies after 12 or something hours of failed attempts (he did try everything from drivers to USB port and cable)
The official update stopped mid-download at a random percentage every time.
His PC was running Win7 x64 and on his final attempt he used another computer with Win XP that did the trick.
The good thing after this adventure of his was that all the apps, messages and settings were kept.

wonder if a virtual xp inside win7 32bit , would do the job.

Quite risky in my opinion, as USB has to be connected through virtualization layers. This might work without any issues but could cause severe problems as well.
I personally tried to connect with KIES from a Win XP vm running on Win7 x64 natively (with vmware Workstation) and it did not work properly.
Tried it several times and with various boots and settings.
But I may have been too impatient, on my netbook KIES also needed several attempts to get connected to the phone.
In the end, I flashed with Odin, that worked right at the first attempt.

If you have Windows 7 on 32 bits you can update via Kies.I updated my phone without any problems when I was using stock ROM.I now just use it for backup.

Windows 7 32 bit never faced this type of problem but yups my friend bricked his phone while updating through kies so be careful also

solved: Drivers problem

Hello everybody, I have a problem with my i9000 and my laptop, I today i dicided to format my laptop and install win 7, it's not the first time I've done it, but this time I haven't been able to successfully install the drivers to connect the laptop and the phone.
I believe that I try it all, download keys, download samsung driver for mobile phones x86, x64, windows update, tried to find the driver using the system32 folder from another pc where the i9000 is properly detected, and noting seems to work.
The only thing i haven't tried is to change the rom, but if the phone was correctly recognised by the laptop yesterday, this shouldn't be the problem, but currently i'm using SuperNexus 2.0 rom.
If any one have any ideia of what to do next i'm willing to try it out.
Best regards to everyone

Solved, i don't know why, but when i enable the usb tethering, it instaled all the drivers correctly.

[usb device not recognized] samsung galaxy s plus i9001 (complete guide)

Hi everybody,
I finally fixed my phone. It took 1 and a half month to fix my Galaxy S PLUS (I9001). I thought I should share my experience. May be it can help others who are facing same issue.
It all started in end of November. I wasn’t happy with Android 2.3.5. I decided to flash a CUSTOM ROM. First I flashed CM9. It was great. So I decided to flash newer than this one. It was CM10.1 and I was happy with it but there was a problem, Wi-Fi wasn’t working! I was new with Custom ROMS. So I didn’t know that flashing a new Kernel can fix it. So I tried CM12.1. and Yeheee! Everything was working and I was happy to run Android 5 on my S PLUS.
Two days later, my brother was playing CUT THE ROPE HD on my phone. He noticed that game is not running smoothly. So he reset the phone from “Backup and Restore” and it was it!
Phone restarted and it was in boot-loop of TWRP. I tried hundred times to make it work but no progress. I checked YouTube and other forums. The only solution mentioned was, put phone in Download Mode and flash CWMR using ODIN. I already installed Samsung Drivers in my Computer. So there was no need to do it again. I put my phone in Download Mode, Started Odin and when I plugged the cable in my phone. It showed “USB DEVICE IS NOT RECOGNIZED”
I changed THREE USB CABLES, TWO PHONE BATTERIES, THREE ODINs, FOUR SAMSUNG DRIVERS and TWO PCs to make it work but nothing!
I Googled the issue, tried many other things like cleaning window temp files, cleaning drivers, removing battery when connecting to ODIN and constantly pressing volume keys when connecting to ODIN in Download Mode. Nothing worked. Some said it is issue of cable, some said it is phone connector interface problem. clean it with something. I tried that too!
After spending ONE MONTH doing this and that, I give up and went to a phone repairing shop. He said, it is not connecting. I don’t know how to make it work again.
No more hope and phone was in my drawer. After fifteen days I tried all that again but no. but two days ago. I was given an assignment from my University. That was a C++ assignment. My DEVC++ software wasn’t working properly on my WIN 10 EDU (64BIT). I found that, it only works on Win 7 and earlier. So I installed a fresh WIN7 ULTIMATE 32BIT on my second Hard Drive. i installed DevC++ and it worked smoothly. I finished my assignment and my mind clicked that I can try my phone on this OS!
I installed:
MOBOGENIE 3.3.7_10002 (it was for my other phone, not for S PLUS of course!)
Ccleaner506 (Only Cleaned TEMP, registry Untouched)
Samsung Drivers v1.5.53.0
Pray To Allah
Opened ODIN_Multi_Downloader_v4.43
Put my phone in Download Mode and Connected the Cable and IT CONNECTED AND DETECTED BY ODIN SUCCESSFULLY!!!!
Everything was same as before: ODIN, Samsung Drivers, Mobogenie, Phone Battery and Ccleaner but two things were different.
OS: WIN 7 ULT 32BIT (NOW), WIN 10 EDU 64BIT (BEFORE)
USB CABLE:NOKIA ORIGINAL CABLE (NOW)SAMSUNG ORIGINAL CABLE (BEFORE)
The steps I did was, after connecting the phone, I selected “AriesVE.ops” in Select OPS option of ODIN then I checked on “ONE PACKEGE” in ODIN and selected “recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-ariesve.tar.md5” by clicking One Package button in ODIN. Then I clicked on START
After some second my phone was ALIVE AGAIN! All files were as they were and it was running CM12.1
Now it is working like before and I am happy to have it back. The reason of describing every single step is that I don’t know what exactly is the reason to make it work! The 32bit WIN7 OS or NOKIA USB CABLE! Or both. So, if you are facing the same problem. Try like I did. I hope it will help you!
