[Q] kies never recognises galaxy s

am i the only one having trouble with this piece of sh*t software?
dont get me wrong i love this phone but i can never connect to kien
i've tried everything but nothing seems to work. when i connect the phone via usb cable it sees it i select kies and the software seaches for the phone but it just hangs on connecting and u can see the bar moving from left to right but it never seems to connect.
they've developed a great phone but its software is a piece of junk. f**k u samsung i should have got an iphone with my upgrade.
im running win7 x64 with the latest kiens software. can anyone help????

1. Download new Kies update. ( go to google and write Samsung Kies and you will see the official site ). After downloading, install it, then click yes to make it new, then it will say, install it again. Do it again. ( choose your official language and country where you live. Open Kies, then close Kies )
2. Go to Setting --> About Phone --> USB settings --> Mass Storage
3. No USB Debugging
4. Connect the USB - mount and then open Kies.

And for God's sake, make sure you're not using a third party launcher.
Cheers,

search on forum... kies is ok, u r not

I've got the latest and greatest Kies, disabled Launcher Pro, Done the 16 digit extension fix and still hangs on connecting. The MTP app starts okay but it Kies just hangs. Also on Win 7 64

I don't know about your Kies but mine doesn't like Mass Storage mode and wants to be connected via the MTP.

have the same issues...
i even went as far as to factory reset and format my sd...
installed kies... upadated to the latest version...
on the device itself it show thats the MTP is 'connected'
but that damn bar keep going back and forth and never connects!!!

although i am sure most of you already know, after getting almost suicidal trying to make kies work on W7x64, i have tried the last resort: deactivated LauncherPro. Miracle, kies works perfect now, every single time... Simply activating LauncherPro again, and the **** comes back: kies never work.

kies sucks so bad... wow...
wtf i just want to fix my 3 button issue :\

Exactly the same here boss. I pulled out so much hair over this I now have twice as much face to wash in the morning!
;o)
BS...

god damned kies i managed to sort it out,
i installed some samsung galaxy s x64bit drivers from some random site and it seems to work everytime now!
hang on lemme try it again just to be sure b4 i post this.....
YES!!!! it connected at first attempt!!!! rofl......
btw thanks guys i didnt know kies didnt recognise launcher pro lol as well.
download cleardefaulthome from android market for quick reversal of both homes.
search for galaxy s x64 drivers on softpedia

thanks man... it works.

[Q] Updating Galaxy S Captivate to Froyo 2.2

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?

[Q] computer can't see Galaxy S

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

hello??
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

still doesn't work???

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

computer could see device in download mode?

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?

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

[Q] Phone not supported in Kies 2.0

I get this error message when connecting via USB that the phone is not supported by Kies 2.0 and the phone is brand new and completely stock. Should I return it?

Can you see the phone in your windows explorer or similar, the phone and SD card storage?
If no, then it is more likely a driver issue. Download and install the S3 Toolkit from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290 and follow the instructions to install the drivers. If all goes well then there is no issue with the phone. Not used Kies but if the drivers install properly then you shoudl be able to see it in Kies.
In all honesty, I would not bother with Kies. The way to go is once you root (if you inted to) is to just do nandroid backups to your microsdcard. That way if anything happens when away from your computer you can easily rectify it.
If you decide not to use Kies then remember to remove it from your computer before using S3 Toolkit as it can cause conflicts.

Kies and the drivers work just fine with my i9300. And I can read and write internal and external. And Odin works perfect...
So why not Kies? Even tried reinstalling and a clean Windows 7 install with only Kies installed. And my i9300 worked just fine on all the others but not my i9305.

Are you saying that the I9305 is picked up by odin and you can see the phone in Windows or are you referring to the 9300?
Have you tried the drivers from S3 Toolkit? I do not have kies here and it is removed from my phone so cannot test it. Actually, what rom are you running? Perhaps the rom has the Kies stuff removed?
Have you enabled USB Debugging?

I'm saying that it all works just not Kies with my I9305. Everything else is working 100% and I've tried USB debugging on and off. Even considered flashing another firmware but can't find a NEE or the TLA my phone came with.

Ah ok, well in that case I cannot see there being an issue with the phone at all. Just a Kies issue somewhere or possibly an issue with the rom but still do not think it justifies getting it replaced as you know the USB interface works.

I've emailed Samsung last night.let's see what they say...
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

Got the phone exchanged and it's working fine now.
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

I got the same problem with a new Samsung Galaxy S III 4G (GT-I9305)... do i have to return it and get another one ?

I had to, mine had an error. But yours might not have the same error, have you tried uninstalling KIES, deleting the Samsung folder in documents and then reinstall?

Yep, i just installed win 7 x64, then installed KIES, did the update, connected the phone to pc via usb cable and i get a driver error message. "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" shows with ! in device manager.
I have uninstalled KIES, cleaned up the PC with ccleaner, installed: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1590.
Reboot PC and phone, no luck.
Then tried to point them manually from C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\USB Drivers and C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers still no luck.
I downloaded KIES from Samsung website under the phone software section and still nothing.

After uninstall delete Samsung folder in documents.
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

I had an i9305 international for 2 weeks and Kies said phone not supported, I sold it due to cell coverage issues in my area. Now I have an i9300 International and again Kies will not work with it. Is there a different version of Kies for international phones? I am in the US.

Did that too.
Disconected every usb device i had plugged in, tried every usb port, and with debugging e/d ... it's driving me nuts.
Can it be a hardware problem ?
When i put it in download mode the pc detects it.
I have stock firmware XXALI5
SOLUTION to my problem:
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 2 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect

Was just about to ask if you had backed the IMEI and forgot to put it back, since I saw your picture and it said Qualcomm and not Samsung.

Tried reinstalling Kies and all, it did not work. Then called Samsung and they said that I need to send the phone to them for a software update. My old firmware was LI5 and the phone is stock.
What I did was, downloaded the latest carrier firmware from samfirmware and flashed it with Odin. Now no more problems with Kies and phone is not stated as modified. Still all original. Firmware now LI9.
Hope that helps
Saved me the hassle sending the phone to Samsung.
