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....
THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED!
Hi, I am using JPO version of Germany (DBT) for I9000 international. When I connect device to computer, update notification appears for 2.2.1. However, when I click on update after skipping or non-skipping backup, device disconnects and notification appears that device not connected. Then, clicking on OK update process ends but my galaxy s is connected to KIES. I tried numerous times and I am waiting for someone who overcame this problem.
full error message: Firmware update stopped because GT-I9000 has been disconnected. Please check the connection and try again.
I tried those:
Updating KIES
Hard reset device
Uninstall & reinstall KIES
Open KIES as admin
Open KIES in compatibility mode
Restart phone
I also tried Win7 32 bit,XP and XP virtual PC

have you tried it on another computer?
If that does not work you can always download the version you need and flash it yourself through odin. As long as it's a stock rom it shouldn't even compromise your warranty
EDIT:
But first try the other computer, if it does not work on any other machine you can also suspect faulty hardware and just send it to samsung / bring it to your carrier. I think they will investigate and update it for you.

I managed to understand problem thanks to you but I can not figure out a solution. You are correct that my phone connects and synchronizes great normally but it does not connect to KIES in download mode.
maybe kies does not recognize in download mode...so u can choose alternative of flashin with odin..its easy and fast =)

I am afraid that I had a bad experince with Odin. My phone connected to Odin. When I clicked start, nothing happened. After half and hour I unplugged, I saw a phone, a cable and a computer on screen. After that, I updated to Froyo using KIES, that is why I am not a fan of ODIN

Hi to all,
I hope people here can help me solve my gt problem connecting with my pc (win7), I already download this Samsung_P1000_USB_Drivers and install to my computer, still Kies cannot detect my tab.
Some say you don't need any driver if you're using Win7 but why I encounter this problem.
Some say you need to turn off the USB Debugging before you connect your tab from your pc but still I encounter this problem.
Some say install the driver from Kies built-in driver but still encountering this problem.
My GT O/S still stock, its still intact since I out my GT from the box.
Please share me your experience if you encounter this problem and how you solve it, I can't flash any rom because my pc can't detect my tab at all.
Thank You and Regards to all.

Guys need your help regarding my problem.
Try to uninstall the drivers. You can do that with many uninstaller programs or you can use system restore. Go to settings and set galaxy tab connectivity to samsing kies. Connect your galaxy tab (make sure to disable debugging mode). Windows will install drivers which might take a few minutes. As for odin try to go to downloas mode by holding volume down and power button. If you get a yellow shade with com#. Your tab is recognised and connected.
Hope it helps!
Same issue with Kies not detecting SGT
I'm new to the forum, and a new SGT owner, so my knowledge is limited. I have been researching these forums along with some help from the unlockr.com. Kies would not detect my tab. I downloaded the Samsung New PC Studio, and was able to have my drivers downloaded through this software. My tab is now rooted. I still don't know what else to do with the rooted tab at this point, but I'm still researching.

Hi dxwilliams40,
What Samsung New PC Studio version you have?
Can you give me the url where you get this software?
Also, can you give me the procedure on how you get the driver using this Samsung New PC Studio?
TIA.

Hi DarkPal,
I uninstalled all samsung drivers and kies but still gt is not detected by win7.
I tried also download mode by holding both power and down volume button and odin 1.3 and odin 1.7 not detect my gt.
Any more idea?
TIA.

Yes, it goes to recharge mode, this is the only thing I can only use between my gt and my computer is to recharge.
To all XDA member's who have this problem before and solve it, please share it to me, I can't move from here I have a good device but I can't maximize the use of it.
Regards to all,
Yes as a matter of fact i have more ideas. Press on menu button while on home screen, go to settings then wireless network and then choose usb settings. Choose ask on connection, if your tab is set on kies. If its set on mass storage set on kies, we all know windows installs no drivers for mass storage. Also try connecting tab on other computer and see if it connects preferrably with other OS. Sorry to disagree still doesnt seem worrying because i faced problem with a samsung mp3 player which used to give me hell with connecting using mtp (media transfer protocol). If it connects to other computers download mtp protocol from microsoft website manually. I will dig it up for you if you report that its working on other computers. Also will dig drivers from my own W7 machine 64 bit to see if it helps.
EDIT did a quick search online. Connect your galaxy tab in kies mode WHIlLE installing kies. Seemed to help many android galaxy S users.

Hi DarkPal,
I do 1 by 1 your advice but in the ended it's still the same, I installed MTP from your link but my PC can't detect my GT.
I attached my GT from our 2 laptops both Win7 but they can't detect also my GT.
Hope you have more plan
TIA
Still more plans. I have phd with samsung devices not connecting to many windows pcs (dunno if faulty drivers submitted to microsoft by samsung or issue in an end user enviroment. Anyway few question: is your galaxy in usb debugging mode? Tap menu then choose settings applications development. Make sure USB is not in debugging mode.
EDIT: is the usb charging fine? Is there any USB detections on tab screen. I read reports of faulty usb cables. If you have another SGT cable try it and see if it connects.
If uave the luxury connect other mtp devices like ipod or ipad or othe media players. This will sure exclude a pc or OS problem.
EDIT2 Here is a guide i followed back in mp3 days:
Go to samsung support site and download latest samsung kies (must be latest) and uninstaller package.
If u still have kies uninstall it with this package. If not run it anyway to remove any residual files. A cleaner program will clean as well.
Reboot your pc and your SGT.
Install samsung kies (make sure you run it as an administrator whether setup or program launch).
Now in your galaxy tab make sure usb settings is set to kies.
Fire up kies and connect your galaxy tab.
If there is no signs of connections. Access device manager and look for any imprperly connected device (would show as a yellow exclamation mark or saying unknown device). Reinstall kies USB driver. Disconnect tab and reconnect.
Few important notes:
Connect tab directly to the pc not via usb hub or similar apparatus (tab takes power from pc as well as data).
Update your windows media player to latest version (i know its bloated and hogs system resources but it has latest mtp repositories).
Always execute command as an adminstrator. Whether launching or installing.
I had the same problem long time ago. I solved changing the USB port. Befor I used the front case one...the I switch the port in one of the back case and it was working without any issue. Try this. I hope it help!

Hi Again;
Debugging mode is off when I tested all your instruction on my sgt.
I uninstall Kies restart, download from samsung Kies 2.0.0.11014_49 and install it again, restart, test sgt fail again.
Win7 detect my sgt when you put on usb.
My sgt can recharge on my win7.
iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4, Blackberry 9780, iPad Wifi+3g all working with the same usb I use for sgt.
I hope you still have option that we can test
it look like you having problem with the data cable..... do you have another cable to try!
Well 2 options. A trick I never understood by Samsung support. Remove the Cable from PC while on keys wait 30 seconds and repeat procedure 3 times. Hopefully it will detect.
Also Cable could be the culprit as Ironically All SGT don't have exact same cables. You have to make sure you buy exact stock cable if you need a replacement. Ebay cables fail almost always even if it does the charge function.
you said w7 detects SGT when you put on USB. What type of detection Care to elaborate?

" USB Device Not Recognized " error occur when you put sgt on my computer.
And the removal of USB cable doesn't work also.
This is the original cable came from sgt box, it's new like 3 months only, anyway I will try to buy another cable and I hope this will work.
But anything you want me to try much appreciated, dunno where I can find original sgt cable, specially you mention buying online we don't know if genuine from samsung.
tnx man.
If device shows in device manager with yellow excalmation mark right click and uninstall unplug and try to plug the device again. And I Think i found a solution as odd as it seems first remove all usb devices connected to your pc ,flash drives, phones, pdas etc . You can even uninstall it by removing these devices from the device manager to uninstall these drives completely so they can be identified newly. Here is the weird part shutdown i mean pull the plug on computer wait 5 minutes to restart. A cold boot forces computer to reidentify usb ports. Reconnect and see if it works.
Also update your pc motherboard controllers from your pc driver site if w7 doesnt natively identify it.

Still not giving up on you my friend. Try to put the tab in download mode (power and vol rocker down). Reboot computer and in device manager uninstall it. Disconnect the cable and reconnect it.
I have a final solution for you it involves installing heimdal usb drivers to your computer
Hello xda users,
I need HELP !
I have a galaxy tab P1000
currently froyo 2.2
wanted to upgrade to GB
Tried the Odin way from another link on this site (MANUAL updation for galaxy tab(p1000) into 2.3.3 gingerbread ), it failed and the Tab got soft bricked,
somehow managed to unbrick it, now its back to its original fw, but it keeps restarting in a loop until i switchd the damn thing off completely
I have tried to go in download mode to flash but odin doesnt recognise it , tried differnt computers too, no use.
I have gone in recovery mode, hard reset, wipe cache , still when i switch it on, it goes in a reboot loop.
tried to use heimdall. cant get sucess as i might not understand how to use it properly
Please help.
Sincere thanks to you if you can help me get my tab up and running., if not in GB atleast back in froyo.
(PS- i im not worried about my data , and i have not backed up the rom etc before doing any of these)
Try to reinstall or install a usb driver from samsung
tried that before , didnt work
anyway now i managed to get it detected on ODIN and flashed it to GB
Libon
Yeah, happened to me too, nearly had a sh*t my pants when Odin didn't recognise my Tab.
I would recommend -
charge the Tab fully using wall adapter (4 hrs+)
plug it in with Odin open and using USB cable
don't expect Odin to recognise the Tab immediately
check back after 5 mins or so (I don't know, does Odin refresh?)
I was able to restore my Tab from the PC - ! - Marvin screen.
I don't want to go back there again though!
yea dude.. same here
i kept it on charge for a couple of hours and then tried.. bam it conencts..

My Galaxy tab also doesn't connect to usb after cache wiped humber os flash
Thanks in advance guys!..
Earlier I was using Cyanogen mode 10 Custom ROM but has few issues like recognize SD card.
later I flashed to Humber OS caused real problem.
It was clock work recovery installed but my tab tab boots stays on screen humber OS.
It goes to recovery mode, and also to some unknown recovery mode.
Either the way not recognized by computer. I tried all options like heimtal an Odin. No help.
Friends any help, would be highly appreciated.
BUMP
Any solution to this given the fact that usb drivers have been installed?
Are you sure it is recognised by the computer before trying Odin or Heimdall?

4 Reasons Why Odin is Not Detecting Your Android Device:
Reason 1: No drivers installed for your phone
Most of the time Odin is not able to detect your phone, simply because you haven’t installed the drivers for your phone. Normally windows would automatically download the respective drivers for your phone from the internet and install it. But in case it isn’t able to do so, you need to download the drivers from your phone manufacturer’s website.
Reason 2: Inferior quality or damaged USB cable
Odin is very sensitive to low quality or damaged USB cables, which is a major reason why odin will detect your android phone in file transfer mode but fail to detect it in download mode. You might have a genuine USB cable that came with your Android phone but with time its quality will depreciate, which is why you might have to get a new USB cable.
Reason 3: Odin is corrupted
This happened once with a reader on my blog, we tried everything to solve his problem, but in the end using a different version of Odin worked out for him.
Reason 4: USB port is defective
Defective USB ports can also be a reason for Odin not detecting your Android phone. This was a problem faced by one of my readers and plugging the USB cable in another USB port worked out for him.
#######################################################################
and I need install cwm recovery on a twrp recovery and just do that with this app:
ROM Manager
if you want do same job; you can download it from google play easily!
and install recovery,rom or restore backup with it.

reason 1: my phone is samsung and it's detected by ODIN, kies and I transfer files from and to my computer without problems. also tried reinstalling just in case but nothing, so I guess this is not the answer for my problem
reason 2: tried with original cable, but as I didn't use the tablet for a long time I also thought it could be the cable, so I asked a friend of mine if he could lend me one cable, but that didn't work. pity. :/
reason 3: tried 3 different versions of ODIN, and in every version my phone (mentioned above) is detected. shame. :S
reason 4: tried the 3 different USB ports in my laptop. two 2.0 USB ports and one 3.0 USB port, so again I doubt this is the reason of my problem.
extra reason: ~~~ maybe it's the OS version ~~~ // this laptop came with windows 8 preinstalled. nothing. then, I updated to win 8.1. again nothing. now I'm running windows 10 and the same, nothing is detected neither by ODIN nor the computer. also tried in 4 different computers running win xp, win 7 and other with win 8.1.
btw, thank you anyway for your apportation; this may help other people, but unfortunately, it's not my case, so can anybody else join me to think about a new reason and a way to solve it? thank you very much :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have continued researching and found a software. it didn't work for me, but maybe it works for other people.
-first, you have to make sure you have java installed on your computer.
-second, extract the oneclick.rar file on an easy-access directory.
-third, put your tab on download mode (while charging icon when tab is turned off, press power + volume down until a yellow triangle appears).
-fourth, click start unsoft-brick and let the magic begin! 8)
note: if a warning error pops up, trust the software and click on resolution center and follow the instructions of one of the three "alternative ways".

How did you did it im having the same error???
i did the same thing with my tab exactly like yours plzzzz help me recover it
Hi, my phone is on bootloop , and i cant access recovery at all,
but i CAN get to Download mode, so wanted to reflash it again, but as i dont have a computer that has the appropriate drivers, i cant find it when plugged in?
Anything i could do?
Any chance that your USB is broken?
try Downloading Samsung Kies again.
there is a proggram which is just like Odin, i'll try to remmember it's name.
search the forums for samsung galaxy drivers the package (exe) was posted in december i think
both flashing programs are Odin and Heimdal
Odin requires the Samsung drivers and Heimdal comes with its own drivers.
