So I got my tab today. But Win 7 x64 (i have 3 machines with x64 and none with x86 at home) doesnt recognize the device.
There are no drivers in the manager and nothing happens when i choose Kies on the galaxys usb connection menu.
Kies does see that the device is in storage mode, but if i change it to kies connect windows doesnt even give me the plug and play sound. Nothing.
EDIT:
The trouble was the non-stock launcher
Heres what to do if youre having troubles:
1. download Home Switcher from Market and set it to Touchwiz launcher
2. connect to Kies (im using 1.5.3.10092_58_8)
Proceed to root and enjoy!
I have the same problem but your solution does not work for me.
Well that's weird, I have a notebook with Windows 7 x64 and apparently the latest official version of Kies, haven't had a single problem for the Galaxy Tab to be recognized...
I'm not sure which version number I have: I have downloaded Kies on samsung.de, then after the installation I was prompted that an update was available, so I have installed the update of Kies.
Then I have connected the Tab to my computer in Kies mode, the drivers have automatically installed, and Kies recognized my device directly...
Same problem
running on vista 32 the phone isnt didectable trying to unistall the usb drivers and install another recommended one then will sea
Didn't work for me either. Also, btw. Kies is complete crap and does really intrusive stuff. Tmobile garbage apps permanently installed on the device, etc. I don't think I'll ever really understand what the product people think at these companies.
Rant over.
Anybody working on a root that's a little more direct?
Weird. Kies kept saying it didn't recognize the device, but the root app appears to have worked. Need to try an actual root thing to see if its for real.
Whoops. spoke too soon. Didn't actually root.
So just to be sure. It is ok to use Win7 x64 for Kies general use and more importantly to do any future software upgrades?
Its just that win7 is not a supported OS.

I've been using it just fine with Win7 x64 for the last six months or so, for my Galaxy S devices, give or take the usual Kies bull**** that will happen on any OS.
Thanks. I see they just released new software which supports Win7.

Fixed! - Cannot install MTP USB driver
I had a problem when I plugged in my SGT in Kies mode for the first time the MTP driver failed to install and gave an error. Then Kies could not see the Tab.
Fixed it by uninstalling Kies, upgrading Windows Media player to latest version then re-installing Kies.
Read it in a forum somewhere and it worked first time.
Hope it helps someone else
In Ontario Canada with a Bell Galaxy Tab
And... none of the above solutions have worked for me... any other suggestions?
GREAT!!!with this trick finally i can connect my tab to the notebook!!thanks a lot...
I tried to unistall kies,reinstall kies,uninstall driver, reinstall driver, .........
but never Kies recognized my SGT.
But finally I've solved in this way:
- Disable usb debug mode
- Set usb to kies mode
- Lock the screen <-- very important step.If I don't do this, kies doesn't recognize my Tab
- Connect Tab via USB to my Win7 64Bit
- Start Kies
For reference:
I've a SGT rooted and latest version of Kies (2.xxxx).
Hope it helps someone else

How do you set it to kies mode?
Simply, on SGT, go to Settings Menu
tap on wireless --> Usb and then select Kies.
thanks @limonxda, but your suggestion didn't work for me. KIES still doesn't recognize my Tab.
Does anyone have any more suggestions?
I have a verizon GTAB and they seem to have removed the KIES Mode from the selection.
I guess they want us to use their VCast software only.
I ended up fpashing my tab with roto fw and now it connects to kies just fine.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to say thanks for your posting here. I was having trouble getting Kies to recognise my Galaxy Tab. However, after switching back to the Samsung Launcher from LauncherPro, it has recognised my Tab and is installing some large firmware update (hopefully Gingerbread!).
Of course, it would be nice if it told me more specifically what it was updating....
EDIT: Scratch that. An hour of firmware updating and I still seem to be running 2.2. Or specifically, the cryptic firmware version from Kies is:
PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5 (CPW)
Hey everyone, Please help. I just got my Samsung captivate 3 days ago. I went into rogers to ask how to download kies etc. So he told me to plug it in my computer and Kies will automatically pop up. So i went home and tried that. Well i plugged it in, nothing showed up, not even a folder where i could put my music in. So i tried downloading kies from the samsung website, did that, plugged my phone in and nothing happened. the kies said it didnt have a device plugged in. Am i doing something wrong, please help. I have no idea how this phone works and i cant find a manual anywhere.!!
thanks!
Did you try installing the Samsung drivers? (Although I thought it was in the Kies itself..)
64 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re
32 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?0b45zo7o75rc5d5
Try uninstalling Kies and install one of these according to your computer.
All make sure you are using the usb port in the back of the computer with the original cord that came with the phone
Captivate
Cog 2.2
Also, the latest version of Kies will not work with the US captivate - I have no idea if that is affecting your Rogers phone.
Why do you want Kies? What problem are you trying to solve? Do you just want to move pictures and music to your phone? If so the drivers listed above should do the trick.
I'm very sorry for creating a thread like this one, I do not want to be annoying.
This last week, Rogers change my Acer Liquid E for a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate for very bad customer experience.
Since my Acer Liquid E was on Froyo, my Captivate is on Eclair and i'd like to update it.
Samsung Galaxy S Captivate : SGH-i896 (Rogers Canada)
Everything I've found didn't work at all.
I'm Using Kies 1.5.3.10113_29
USB Driver are installed (Samsung)
Proper USB Cable and I follow the instruction step by step on both rogers and samsung website.
Here's go the problem:
(Sorry for my bad english, I'm used to speak french)
When I start Kies, my phone is trying to be detected by Kies but it endless. It said : Connecting the device, please wait. This last step never end (2 hours waiting in front of the computer).
I've been factory reset my phone, reinstalling usb driver and kies and I don't know what to do. I'd like to know if there's someone that could help me ? I've been searching for two days for a miracle, this forum seems to be most competent way to get a result.
I'll be very happy if there's someone that could help me.
Thank you!
Marc
P.S: In my computer Windows, my computer show my mobile name by SGH-i896 and i can acces to by phone like it was mass storage mode.

Have you checked your USB settings? Go into settings -> applications -> development -> make sure USB debugging is turned off. Then go back to applications -> USB settings -> select Kies (Firmware update). I haven't used Kies at all but in theory this should fix your problem.
Yes I did, is there an other way to update me phone ?
My kies would always do this too. I was able to fix by going into control panel, then device manager and deleting the device named something like "samsung android composite device" (phone has to be connected to see this). Then unplug the phone and reconnect and it would install the drivers again.
I had to do this fairly often, but it always worked. hopefully it might work for you.

This my works, but i'de like to know what driver were you using when he asked you to install it the second time ? I'm using the driver for SGH-I897, i didn't find anything for the SGH-I896
i had a lot of problems with kies doing the update to froyo 2.2 too...
first check if your usb settings are going to Kies mode and not mass storage mode. you can check my going to settings > applications > USB settings > Kies (firmware update)
if you are a rogers customer then try to bring it to a Rogers Plus store and ask them to update it for you, might have to try a few stores before you find a someone that can help.
if you want to do the update yourself then you can try this.
i first had to install an older version of kies, the latest one from samsung website would not detect my phone at all. the version i used is Kies_1.5.3.10092_2_1.exe, you can download it here http://dls.scione-music.de/KIES/
another problem i had was that during the update kies was not able to put my phone in download mode so i would get an error and the firmware update would close. what i had to do was manually put it in download mode before i get the error. so before the error pops up you have to power off your phone and disconnect the usb then while the phone is off hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb. This will put you into download mode and then kies will finish the update.
The problem has been solved by switching my windows vista to windows 7! ! I finnaly managed to convince my girlfriend to switch his ****ty pc operating system to 7. Thank you for everything all xda user.

I am on rogers froyo 2.2. There are some other ways than kies. You can flash the stock rom here (cwm or odin): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905042
or flash any one of these custom roms based on it:

If you are new and don't know how to flash, then read a lot before trying (try stickies in the android dev section and general section).
Edit: didn't see above post. Looks like you got it solved.

Freudian slip?
my samsung galaxy s is not recognized by my computer no matter what i do!
don't know why, i've done some research, no results.
i've installed Kies, which i assume already installs the drivers, but when i connect, the computer shows no sign of connection (it says that i need to update drivers in device manager??) i tried different USB ports, toggled USB debugging on/off, NOTHING WORKS
the reason i want my computer to recognize the galaxy is because i want to update it to android 2.3.5 via odin. but when i enter download mode, the computer doesn't recognize it. when i'm in the system, the computer STILL doesn't recognize it...???
please somebody help, it's rooted, running a different MIUI version (not the ones in xda dev section), i'm not sure where i got it from, but it's called an ENG_MIUI?
CM7 (and subsequently MIUI) is built from the Nexus S source code, so find the proprer drivers for it. "CM7 drivers" should be a sufficient google search. Also, Kies sometimes interferes while using the other drivers. If you run into any problems, uninstall Kies.

To get your phone recognized you need nexus s drivers. But that won't help you get it recognized by kies.
You need stock firmware on your phone to get it updated through kies.

I have same problem previously. But it solved after I do this: while Kies open, select Tools then press Install driver.
thanks guys, but how would i go about doing that? the directions i found don't make any sense?

Just to clarify, this won't help you. Samsung uses Samsung drivers. Since you do not currently have Samsung firmware on your phone, this won't do you any good. As previously stated by two very informative posters, you will need the Nexus S drivers to recognize your phone.
And, also as previously stated by just an absolutely wonderfully helpful poster, if you do a simple google search you'll find exactly what you need. Try either Nexus S Driver, CM7 Driver, Nexus S CM7 Driver, or really anything else similar. You could also check the CM7 Wiki, as I'm sure there would be a link for them there. And finally, if you simply search XDA Developers, I'm sure you'd find plenty of posts with what you need.
Hopefully that helps.
thanks
now my computer can see it when it's in android, but why does it STILL not see my Galaxy S in download mode???
do i need another set of drivers? (it said driver not found)
BTW THANKS GUYS!!! sorry if i'm being annoying

anybody??
Well did you install the Nexus S drivers yet?

yes, the nexus s drivers are installed, but i STILL can't connect through download mode...
try different computer, install samsung driver then connect your phone

Well, it seems to be a driver issue!
Try these (32-bit windows) but make sure that you are having a fresh win7 installed just in any case that your reg got corrupted with drivers (Ime ).
Still not working,then try on another pc..!

Well, CM7 drivers won't help SGS to get recognized on PC on DLD mode, you need another set of drivers and not those Nexus S's. I had the above ones installed on my PC (Google's your Best friend ) .
I had to install the drivers manually,
Right click on computer, click manage -> device something -> find your device in the list, select to update driver, search manually and enter the path to your android sdk and search.
Worked like a charm to me

hi
i had same problem, but computer recognize the device as "unknown device"
in all modes, developed, storage etc...
i am close to think thats is problem of internal usb driver of the rom
want to downgrade from de device, whitout usb, but i dont know how do it, because i am not root, and its no possible in 2.3.4 whituot usb.
thanks
I had a lot of similar issues with my I9000, too.
Tried everything on ROM and driver side also on different computers.
Finally it turned out that my Micro USB connector was corroded.
I have around 30 people in our company that have the same phone, and 5 of them had similar issues. I guess it's a common problem with this device.
I took a toothpick and cleaned the contact of the connector by sliding it up and down for a couple of million times. This also did the trick for my colleagues.
I think it's at least worth to try it.
Good luck
i try to clean the contact, but still cant connect to the computer.
I wonder if a method of degrading the system with a signed rom from the recovery, without using the USB cable or ODIN.
i have a same problem. Any new solution?

Hey folks,
Shortly before throwing this peace of **** (SM-J105H/DS, Android 5.1.1, Kernel-Version 3.10.65-8738110, Build LMY47V.J105HXWU0APL2, Android-Safetypatch 1st July 2016) away, after pissing & ****ting on it a few times, and sending this ****ed up phone back to the assholes from Samsung, maybe you can help me somehow:
it is IMPOSSIBLE to connect this ****phone in ANY WAY by USB to my computer (Windows 10 64-bit)...!!!!!!!
- I've tried ALL USB ports, I've also installed new drivers like suggested here: (please google "Samsung J1 Mini Galaxy USB drivers")
- I've installed this ********ed program KIES3 which tells me that my phone is not compatible with this crappy software (I've started KiES3 as admin),
- I've also installed Smart FUUCK Switch, which also(!!!) tells me that my phone is not compatible to this ****ed up program (although Android 5.1.1. is installed on it).
If I stick this piece of **** into my computer it installs some drivers, but it does NOT install any MTP/PTP drivers which are obviously necessary to enter the phone as a memory stick.
WTF?!?!?!?!
Please help.
sure the cable is OK?
try different pc?
give it to a pro?
if still trouble
then:
pee&poo on it and send it back to Korea !
