Problem with KIES
My tablet is not rooted, it have stock rom, haven't changed anything. I have installed latest KIES on my laptop with Win 7 x64. When I try to connect my tablet to PC, I can access it's contains, but if I try to connect to KIES it say: Cannot start service on the device. Please disconnect and reconnect the device. I try that too, but every time it's the same. I have tried to re-install KIES couple of times, but it's always the same story... Anybody have some ideas?

I able to connect in the pass, that was how I get android 3.1 upgraded to 3.2

I had the same issue, then I reinstalled the drivers, REinstalled KIES and there even was some messing around in "services". for WIFI connection thou, but it fixed my connection issue via cable.

When I bought my "8.9 tab wifi only"and plugged it up for the first time i had no problems using kies. It updated to 3.2 the NEVER worked again.Once you install kies it installes your drivers. If you uninstall kies it will ask if you want to keep the drivers or uninstall them."KEEP THE DRIVERS" I don't use kies at all. I use drag-n-drop to transfer files.You may also notice at times when moving files"mostly video" that windows explorer will crash"may just be my p.c." but a way around that is to simply zip the file,move it to your device,unzip from device using a file manager,I use "file manager HD"

Galaxy Tab 8.9 not connecting to Kies
Same problem here, Connected first time to Kies but since updating Kies I have never been able to connect.
Uninstalled and Reinstalled various times, restarting computer but still inop.

kies has many problems in its own software... ur pc can see it very well... samsung released a "Piece of Cr*P" software to just show themselves... Kies isnt really useful for anything rather than updates and syncronizing...
I saw someone posted a quote from samsung about the kies problem, and the only answer was its kies thats messing, not the tablet
I had this problem and I fixed it by reinstalling kies and basically enabling WIFI synk from pc (Kies setup guide) and after that it works from the USB.
(sorry for typos)

I had a similar problem but I ended up downloading the latest version of keis first. I also checked to make sure my computer was up to date with the latest usb drivers. After an update the Samsung keis software recognized my tab and was up and running.

first you should have usb debugging off
second, I tried all sorts of solutions (like uninstall/ install back again for kies or drivers and so on). I think there is a problem with the drivers.
If you plug in your tab, go to device manager and look for unknown devices or so (entries with exclamation marks and so )
I got it installed as samsung composite usb but also got part of the drivers not being correctly installed ( PCI flash memory having exclamation mark)
the only solution I found was to factory reset the tab. I did this and the tab is now recognized by Kies via USB without doing any additional work to the drivers or kies installation
latest kies version as of the post date, Windows 7 professional x64.
I still don't know if it was some wrong setting for an app or the firmware itself had something messed.
by the way, the tab was only 2 weeks old and it didn't connect from the very first time although the tab was just out of the box with no root/CWM recovery. just everything stock with normal apps and it didn't connect.

it happen to my nexus, but when I change to other PC, it working fine.. my 8.93G connecting very good for this moment and hope it will till i sell it..

[Q] Kies problem...

I've just updated to 1.5.3.10093_80 and now Kies doesn't connect to my phone.... It just stays at connecting... What to do?
Mine too, on two different computers.
Ok.. It's working now.. I've reinstalled the drivers.. but now I have another problem... I can't save my contacts on my Pc... it says that my device isn't connected... :| Nice software developed by Samsung...
Sorry... It says that the device is in use...
I also get the message, phone is in use when I want do display my contacts on Kies.(I tried an older version of kies and also the latest)
Is there a solution for that?
Maybe it has something to do with themes, because before I installed the ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA-theme I was able to copy my phone-contacts to my pc via kies.
any suggestions?

So nobody knows how to fix this issue?
have you tried rebooting the PC?
disconect the USB devices first
have you tried rebooting the PC?
disconect the USB devices first
Using Vista 64 I had sucess with:
1. Don't plug your phone to the computer yet.
2. Open Kies, from the settings turn off the options 'automatically start monitoring for device connection when Windows starts' and 'Start Kies automatically when device is connected'. For some reason the MTP installation failed each time Kies was open at the same time.
3. In Kies, click the Kies file menu on top of the application and select Driver recovery. Let it install the drivers, then reboot your computer (I only did this the first time).
4. Once rebooted, Kies shouldn't be running. Then plug your phone to the usb connection and select Samsung Kies mode.
5. Wait for the usb device to be detected and the drivers to be installed. Now the MTP installation shouldn't fail.
6. Start Kies and begin using your phone.
I cant get the firmware to upgrade tho... Kies still sucks.
Yeah Kies is pretty balls.

This site has another interesting fix that worked for me when the uninstalling /reinstalling the drivers didn't work. Its a simple tool that scans your internal and SD card and to show which have too long filenames. You have to manually delete them (usually just thumbnail caches), and then Kies worked fine! Well, worked fine in the sense that it finally detected my device and said I had a firmware update available, and then it crashed when it was downloading
Ok... I understand what you guys said... but my problem isn't that kies wouldn't detect my device... I have no problem with that, my device is detected, but when I hit the save to pc contacts button it says that the device is in use and I can't backup my contacts... :|
Please make sure that Bluetooth AND Sync are both turned OFF. The best way to do this is via the power control widget. Also if you are not using it then change back to the stock TWLauncher for interactions with Kies.

Windows will not connect to P7310

Happy new year all,
I have a 8.9 wifi only 32gb amazon.com version 7310.
I can’t get it to connect to my windows PCs (multiple PCs) ANYMORE…I have the drivers installed, but when I plug it in, windows will ask me for the driver and when it tries to install it I get an error (device not installed properly).
Some history:
I have the usb driver (“GT-p7510_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0-Escape.exe”) installed from the thread: “[GUIDE]Root, Bootloader Mode, ODIN, Recoveries & NANDROID Backup [7300/7310]”
Fresh off the box I hooked the tab up to my windows XP PC using the above driver and my PC recognized it. Also ODIN connected too.
I installed CWM (“Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6_P73xx.zip”) from the above thread and rooted the tab using the root file (“Root.zip”) also from the above thread.
After that I couldn’t get the tab to be recognized from my PCs. But ODIN still works.
BTW, I’ve also tried Samsung Kies but it did not work (couldn’t connect to the tab).
I did a hard reset but I still have the same problem!!!
I need to be able to move files from my PC to the tablet as fast as possible. Wifi works but it is slower than usb 2.0!!!
Any help?
Thank you,
Have you tried uninstalling the drivers, restarting, then installing again? Sometimes Windows is a bit iffy. Also, the drivers from Kies are kinda different and tend to conflict (happened to me once). Another tip I'll give you: certain ROMs tend to hate having USB Debugging set to ON at Settings > Applications > Development. They just won't connect through USB while having that set to ON. I found this behavior on Android 3.1 ROMs, haven't had it in the KJ5 firmware and it's been almost two months with it. Best of lucks solving this!
issue solved by re installing the kies
Thank you for your suggestion.
Re installing kies and the latest kies update solved the issue.

[SOLVED] P7300 can't connect via USB, Windows 7 64

Used to work fine, last time I connected was doing an upgrade about 3 weeks ago to the UCLA modem and kernel and 2.3.6 ROM.
Today I tried to connect via USB to transfer a new book I'd downloaded, and Windows didn't recognize the device. Has the error USB Device not recognized.
It shows on the device in the status area that MTP is installed, and it says on the device that USB is connected.
Tried everything. I have the latest version of Kies, uninstalled and re-installed. Deleted the device, let windows re-install it. The tablet charges fine via the same cable. I've tried different USB ports.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket connects on the same computer, seen by Kies, can transfer USB. Works on the same USB port!
And of course I have USB debugging turned on.
Any thoughts. I am certain it was due to the change of ROM.
Bump........
Hi Harry_fine,
Try it :
- Disable usb debug mode
- Lock the screen <-- very important step.If you don't do this, kies doesn't recognize the Tab*
- Connect Tab via USB to Win7 64Bit
- Start Kies
To get kies to recognize the tab, you need to have the original touchwiz launcher set as the default launcher
I seen this on other post. May be it can help you.
Good luck.

Are you sure you are in correct forum? I have never heard about UCLA modem or 2.3.6 ROM for GT8.9
Latest modem we have is KJ6 and Android version should be 3.2
Sorry, I was confusing this with my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
This is 2.6.36.3 kernel, Android 3.2, which I think is the latest official stock for the Tab. I think I used P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar.md5 for the upgrade.
Didn't work, same problem. Anyone else?
Tried a solution I found online, found some very long file extensions on the SDCARD, removed them, rebooted phone, and now no problem connected as a drive using MTP, and installing driver.
so what's the solution??

On my build I've found that my front usb ports fail when connecting to kies 99% of the time, but back ports are pretty reliable.
I take it you don't have root or cwm? These will affect kies connection. Also if you've frozen any samsung apps, it's likely kies will fail. To be honest, even when I was fully stocked it failed often, buggy as hell.
Another thing to try, put it in usb storage mode, connect in a back port so it loads drivers, disconnect. Then attach in same port in normal mode. Sometimes this can help. If no luck, try kies wifi after having attached in usb storage mode.
Good luck.

Kies is there only on Samsung issued firmware..
Kies will not work on anything that is custom .. be it GB or ICS
Seems this problem has resurfaced. I am on ICS - upgraded via Kies, then rooted.
Now Kies gives me the 'usb debugging' error, regardless of what is set for USB debugging and will not connect.
This is an updated Kies - and it appears there is an updated HK ICS rom out.
Comments?
Thanks

Odin and Samsung usb driver issues

So attempting to root I can not get my tmobile note 4 to be recognized by Odin when I enter downloading mode. I obviously tried installing samsung usb mobile driver, when I did a message window in Japanese with a red x appeared on my win 8.1 desktop. I tried different downloads of driver and even tried samsung site all give same error window. I then installed latest kies and it installed ok and recognized my note. I tried Odin and entered dl mode on note and still Odin doesn't recognize device. I uninstalled and reinstalled kies and driver but no luck. Is there a setting on my phone that's not allowing. I have usb Debug checked. When in dl mode it just says secure download enabled and then says entering udc. I am adb literate but new to odin. Any suggestions ...
Delete everything and start over. My laptop automatically downloads the drivers for me so not sure if your desktop will do the same.
If not, download drivers or just reinstall then and try it out and see if that works for you.
Well my fix was to go to a friend's house and use there pc. Tried everything and my win 8.1 did not like.
Removing or reinstalling Samsung drivers can be tricky. You did the right (easy) thing going to a different computer. Trying to use the same computer for an old and new Samsung device at the same time can easily cause your problem to happen. I found that you can't just switch between different versions of the drivers willy nilly. Perhaps the uninstaller routine doesn't work? Registry issue? Don't know.
If your win 8 pc can be rolled back to before you ever installed kies or a Samsung driver you might be able to get it to work using the correct (new) driver. That said, I'm still using the same driver I installed for my Note 2. Since it worked for the Note 4 and knowing what could happen, I left well enough alone!
