Same thing happened to me the first time ever i tried to update through kies, i can suggest the same thing suggested by outbrood: try using another usb port or another pc.

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

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.
http://www.samsung.de/de/support/detail.aspx?aguid=47e29085-4dff-4b5c-b8ab-dd9b9c8b70f8&dl=software
try the new PC Studio software for SGS
download link and detailed info on SGS wiki, click my link
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.

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)
hi there, i am new here. recently i bought galaxy s. so far its amazing. since yesterday i cant connect to kies with my galaxy. do not know why. when i tried, its suck on connecting to device please wait screen. on my device it is said "Initialising" . after a long time when i disconnected, i cant browse to my internet sd card and phone memory. it is said unavailable at usb and sd storage. but i can connect to pc after a restart and change the usb settings to mass storage mode. i did not face any mtp error like others. and today my kies updated itself autometically. still i am facing the problem. i connected to kies so many times but from yesterday i have this problem. what should i do now? can anybody please help me?

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.
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 .

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 .

Hi, I had the same problem, in another forum someone said start kies on your PC and then plug your usb in, it worked for me.
Just as a disclaimer up front, I haven't worked with Windows in years, I'm a complete Linux user, so don't assume I know anything. I'm not used to messing around with device drivers or searching for software on the web etc. Where Windows is concerned, I'm your 80 year old Grandmother, ok?
Ok, so with the Gingerbread firmware rolling out, I decided it might be time to try and get my Tab working with Kies. I got access to a windows machine, and went to work. Here's what I did (just in case I messed up somewhere):
Connected the Tab to the windows machine via USB, and selected mass storage device.
Windows mentioned something about needing drivers, which seemed weird (isn't the Tab a normal mass data storage device when told to be one?), but after a few seconds it claimed it was ready to use, so I went ahead and mounted it and could see my files in the Windows file browser. So far so good.
I then disconnected the Tab from windows and went looking for Kies. After some short struggle I was able to download and install it.
Next, I connected the Tab again, this time selecting 'Samsung Kies' mode. Nothing happened, neither on the Tab nor on the Windows machine.
Tried again, this time as 'Media Player'. Nothing happened.
Tried again, in Mass Storage Device mode. Kies tries to connect, then tells me to try again in Kies mode. I do so. Nothing happens.
After some googling, I try with the external SD card unmounted, as that seems to be recommended. No difference.
I told Kies to reinstall the device drivers. No difference.
I've rebooted Tab and PC. No difference.
What am I doing wrong? Can someone who uses his Tab with Windows maybe post a step-by-step howto?
I'm interested in this too as I'm having the exact same problem. If I connect as a mass storage device, I get an error that it needs to be in Kies mode. If I connect in Kies mode, Kies sees the device and shows the status as "connecting" but never actually connects. On the Tab, it says that it's connected though. I've tried this on Win XP and Win 7. Same behavior both times.
Interesting, you're already a step ahead on me. I don't get anything in Kies Mode, no connecting, nothing. I've tried on a 64bit Vista system and a 32Bit Win7 system, but no difference. In Kies mode, I don't even get the 'device plug in' sound in windows.
Care to tell me how you got Kies to at least see the Tab in Kies mode? What version of Kies are you using, etc.?
I'm using a rooted GSM (euro) Tab on Swisscom network and Kies V2.0.0.11014_49_2
I think I've cracked it. Firmware update is installing on my Tab as we speak.
What did I do? Seems really simple. I went to the Connections and Network Settings on the Tab, and in USB Connection Settings, I changed it from 'ask on connection' to 'samsung kies'. Upon plugging it in, it told me that it had to disable Bluetooth to enable the USB connection (never seen that screen before), so I allowed that, and windows immediately scrambled for device drivers and Kies show the connecting sign at the top left.
I'll keep you posted on how it went.
UPDATE: The installation process ran through, and Kies instructed me to disconnect and reboot my Tab. I did. However, it nows hangs during the boot sequence, at the stage where the blue 'SAMSUNG' logo is shown. From time to time, the Tab vibrates like it does when an application force closes, but it doesn't seem to finish booting. I fear I may have bricked my Tab. Trying to go through the recovery menu now.
Ok, factory reset from the recovery menu brought it back to life. No Gingerbread as of yet, but the XXJMF version of Froyo.

No, unfortunately not.
Back to the overall question - I had similar problems when I bought my Tab in the tail end of last year (Win7 64bit) and had to do some strange combination of attaching the Tab and starting Kies mode on the device before starting Kies on the PC (and dancing a jig while singing the Jingle Bells, you get the picture)
Today I installed the latest version of Kies and it all seems to just work. Therefore it might be worth updating your Kies version (or perhaps I'm just lucky this time through!)
I take it back, same old problem of never connecting unless I plug in the Tab before I start Kies on the PC, sorry for the noise!
I am having no luck whatsoever. I'm rooted if that makes any difference at all. My process has been going like this:
Plug Tab into computer. Wait until I see the screen that says Kies is connected.
Fire up Kies on my computer. Under Connected devices I see "connecting."
That is as far as I get. I never get further than that and I've tried it on Win7 (64 bit) and XP (32 bit) with the exact same results. I've re-installed the driver twice and rebooted both the Tab and the computer multiple times. Kies tells me it's the latest version so that's not an issue. Supposedly there is a Froyo update out there that fixes the screen orientation issue, but I can't get it. Frustrating. This should not be that hard. The fact that there are this many people all having the same issue just proves how half-baked this software is IMO.
Did you try without the SDcard? Seems Kies doesn't play nicely with external SD.

Seemed to make no difference at all on the Win 7 machine or the XP machine. Goes to connecting and never actually connects. My Tab says it's connected. Kies never does connect on my Win 7 (64 bit) or on XP (32 bit). Frustrating to know that there is an update available that fixes issues I'm having, but I can't get it.
I've just got this problem too.
My solution: set the usb connect type in your tab to "kies" from "ask when connected". It solved my problem.
Sorry for my english.
[edit] Well, I read the whole thread and realised you found the same slution. Nevermind, at least I tried to help.

I tried that, but it didn't work for me.
I have factory reset and unrooted.
Removed the micro-SD card.
Changed to "ask when connected."
Nothing works. Same behavior. Kies says "connecting", but never connects.
I finally got my problem fixed. I had to take a 3rd computer, install Kies, reboot, plug in the Tab, wait for all the drivers to install except for the drive for the MTP device (this wouldn't install). Then I had to have it re-install the drivers, unplug the Tab and reboot it, then plug it in again. The thing finally connected and I was able to sync. Then it displayed a message that the firmware cannot be updated. Not sure if that means cannot be updated at the moment or if that means cannot be updated ever. Seems like a ton of work for nothing.
Update: just noticed that after the mentioned update, all the APN entries were gone. Had to set them up again by hand. No big issue, but annoying. I hadn't noticed until this morning, because I was on Wifi all weekend
I just got my AT&T Galaxy Tab and when I try to connect to Kies I get the message "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0." I checked for updates but it says it is the latest version. Anyone have any ideas?
I know this isn't helpful but KIES is very Flaky. I've never managed to get it working 100%. "Ask for connection type' almost always doesn't work. It's not worth the trouble as it's a completely USELESS app anyway.
For those who don't want to download the ADB drivers separately it's good for that then once the drivers are installed just uninstall and move on

Hi
Just a 'me too' post i'm afraid. I get the GT saying 'connected' in the MTP app, while Kies says 'Connecting....' forever more. Its REALLY anoying.
I am not interested in any non official roms (wasted far too much time on them on my various WinMo phones). I do want to be able to install an official Gingerbread update though.
My tab used to connect to Kies. It stopped connecting right after it installed an update (to FROYO.XYJJ3), and I have never managed to get it to connect since. I think Kies has a bug (one of many!) which means it will not recognise the current rom on my Tab.
I have tried:
- Removing SD card
- USB debug on/off
- USB connection set to Kies/Choose on Connect
- Reset tab to factory default
- Connect tab then start kies
- Start kies then connect tab
- BT On/OFF
- Wifi On/OFF
- Sim card out
- flight mode enabled
- packet data on/off
- Install kies onto 2 other completely fresh PC's Win7X64 and XP
Nothing has worked, says 'Connecting' but never connects. I'm about ready to just ebay the pile of junk and move on!

Been onto Samsung tech, but they are ruddy useless - no help what-so-ever (not that I expected then to be). How Samsung ever expects to compete with apple when their software is even worse than ruddy iTunes I just dont know.

you have to switch to kies mode in the wireless/usb settings. Then before you connect the tab to usb make sure you on your home screen, else Kies mode will never start up. You can start up kies on the pc before or after you connect the tab doesnt matter. If the kies software never starts up at this point, uninstall, make sure the drivers have been uninstalled as well, reboot, reinstall kies. Start kies before you connect the tab as it may have to install updates, then connect the tab in kies mode. Ive used kies mini and regular kies with this method, works. As a side note, the full version of kies will not work with Stock US roms, it will always say phone not supported, so you have to use Kies mini.
Although I don't think i would rely on Kies to do a firmware update....if at all or successfully.
