Hi,
I had earlier opened a thread regarding this issue. But that was having more than one query and was misleading.
I need to install Froyo JP6 (the official one - no custom ROMs). Currently I'm having JF3.
Kies is not working for me (The MTP application in the mobile opens up, but gets restarted while getting connected to kies, so kies is not recognizing my mobile).
How shall I install JP6 without Kies?
Is it possible to install from mobile itself? (like installing apk file?)
nandihno had told me to install using odin. But i couldn't find it in dev section. Can anybody provide me the link for odin foryo JP6?
Thanks in advance!
Install latest version of Kies - 1.5.3.10093_82.
You can go in setting and Upgrage..
Once the latest version is installed, go into Program Files - Samsung
Delete USD Drivers directory here.
Now go in Program Files - Samsung - Kies - USB Driver
Install the drivers from here.
Once the installation is complete, go to settings in SGS (Galaxy) and unmount Internal SD card.
Connect SGS using USB Key and wait till system detects your SGS.
Once it is done you can use Kies to upgrade to Froyo... However as of today Froyo is not out for India... though there are work around to fool Kies and still download, though I will suggest to wait...
thanks I will try this as well. Well this also work with my issue? I tried to upgrade my firmware using kies, but it failed because of some file missing. I installed kites again, and now it detects my phone when I connect it, but it never seems to make the connection
It just says that it is trying to connect and this goes on forever.
So now I cannot repair my firmware using kies. Can this solution help with that as well?

Same problem here. It detects my phone. But freezes in "connecting your device".
@shurdus - when this is happening (connecting ur device), did you notice your phone restarting the MTP application.
I mean, the MTP application will be displaying "installing kies" but after some time, it disappears and appears again in a fraction of a second..
I have to try the solution said by satyawali.
Another doubt - unmounting internal SD card will affect the data?

I have a similar problem. I just downloaded the newest version of Kies, but can't get Windows/Kies to recognize my phone. I unchecked "Automatically start monitoring for device..." and "Start Kies automatically..." in the Settings box, and I did the Driver Recovery and rebooted, all recommended in another thread. Still nothing. All I get is some very quick flashing of MTP Application and my home screen opening and closing. Then Windows (Win 7, 32 bit) tells me it couldn't do something and to contact the device manufacturer.
Have you found a solution?

I haven't found the solution yet.
I guess the only solution is to format the SD card and then try. But I'm not willing to do that So no froyo for me... If only there was an OTA or froyo installer it'd be great
1. Uninstall KIES
2. Uninstall "SAMSUNG USB Driver For Mobile Phones".
3. Reboot your PC
4. Brows to "Program Files" (windows 32bit) or "Program Files (x86)"(windows 64bit) and remove the folder "Samsung".
5. Run "regedit" from Command Prompt and look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and delete the "Samsung" folder.
6. Right click your C-drive and choose "Properties", click "Disk Cleanup" and check "Temporary Files" and hit "OK".
7. Install KIES and reboot your PC.
8. When booted, don't start KIES yet, just connect the phone and let windows install the drivers for it, unplug the device when done, start KIES and connect the phone.
That should work out for you..
^ thanks. gonna try it now. Will let u know
@[Ramad] - even this didn't work.
The problem is in the phone - i can clearly see it. I guess, a factory reset will do it. Is there any backup software that can backup including the application data/caches ?
isn't there a download link for the new and original Froyo? there are too many pages and it's quite hard to find what you want (I've found Froyo but not the original one, I think, and I've found plenty of advices for kies but I don't want to do all that unistall-delete traces-install again, when there's a simpler way with odin)
Kies problem is related to the ammound of MP3's on your SGS!
Because MTP is a MP3 player connection protocol it's using some MTP Windows media player driver to connect. If you have all MP3 on an external SD card, just remove it and Kies will work fine. Otherwise remove or rename your MP3s to make it work.
Seriously this worked for me, credits to a user of some forum (can't find the post).
Force close all d launchers before connecting d phone to kies its very necessary step hope it will work
It's unbelievable... the best Android phone has the crappiest PC companion. Seems everyone has exactly the same problem with kies.
As far as I've read it's related to files with longer names stored inside the internal memory. Come on! The old Palm Hotsync didn't suffer from such stupid things!
I think we should start a global petition for Samsung to fix that. My wife has a 10 bucks nokia that has a far leaner/better/functional PC companion.
@nagash1979 - by saying remove it - u mean "all mp3/flac and media" in the external card?
@ srajoria - did that. In fact. uninstalled laucnher pro and then tried. no use.
@c3p9 - i don't think its a deal breaker for this phone. As there are alternatives for kies (like es file explorer for wireless transmission of files). But if only there was an OTA update, then no need of kies at all
@nagash1979 - i couldn't find any windows media player application running in the background. thanks anyway....
Finally I got the solution for the KIES problem.
I had recently downloaded winamp beta from android market. And when connected the phone in usb storage mode when winamp was open in PC and phone, my phone was detected as mass storage. And when I opened Kies, it also detected my phone (finally!), but asked me to connect to kies mode. I removed the cable and connected again in kies mode. And it worked like a charm! WOW!
But it's not working everytime!
Edit: The Mass Storage worked 4/10 times. Kies worked only once out of 10 tries. Everytime a alert message to turn off the SD card is popping up which is very irritating. Dunno how to fix that....
Atleast I was able to connect my phone with the PC using USB Mass Storage mode after a very long time - took the backup of all camera files
If you have latest version of Kies installed and drivers working and experiancing MTP crashing issue on phone then it is long file name issue.
To solve this, connect your phone in media mode and mount the card on system. Use attached utility and search long file names on phone and delete them.
Now connect Kies you should not get MTP issues.....
However this does mean this crappy software (Kies) will still detect your phone...
Try to use Antroid Manager will be satiafied. I have uaed it works fine over Wifi.

This is becoming the hardest way to root apparently -_-
I`m trying to get z4root on to my Galaxy S Captivate from Rogers (SGH-I896) running 2.2
I`ve downloaded the apk file and placed it on my desktop, when trying to copy the file to my phone I get this error message.
(I tried to post a picture here but apparently I need to post 8 times?*fail)
It says an unexpected error is preventing the operation.
Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect.
clicking try again just prompts the message again.
Phone is connected in USB mass storage mode.
USB debugging is on.
It appears the app is no longer available in the market so is this the only way to get it on my phone?
I've literally tried downloading the apk 5 different times from different places and they all give the same message when I try to copy, also tried copying the file pretty much everywhere possible on the phone. any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. make sure you turn on the debugging mode;
2. connect your phone using usb cable;
3. i used one click root to root the captivate, search that one in the forums;
4. follow the instruction of that root app;
Hey guys,
For some reason, my Windows 7 32bit laptop is not recognizing the Galaxy tab at all when in download mode. I have installed kies (which incidentally also doesn't recognize the tab), and installed the individual drivers, but cannot get my computer to even see the Tab.
When the Tab is in normal mode (debugging turned off), I can mount the Tab as a drive and it has no problems.
Has anybody else run into this issue? The Tab is not showing up in the device manager at all. I do have root, and my end desire is to connect with Heimdall, and continue to get the error message "Failed to detect compatible device."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Seth
Download and install drivers for your tab. Samsung website should have them, if not they shouldn't be too hard to find.
drivers
Hi,
Already tried that. Kies doesn't recognize the device at all (with USB debugging active and not active both), and the Device Manager doesn't show anything either. When I plug the tab in, it recognizes that it is connected, but mounting the SD card as a drive doesn't do anything either.
The worst part about it is that I'm not sure that I can even revert to stock without being able to get Heimdall working. I've searched a ton, and it seems to be the key to just about everything. Any other ideas?
Seth
have you tried to install the drivers that come with Heimdall? I've had to force install those a couple times to get my Tab recognized in download mode.
Heimdall drivers
pvtjoker42,
Can you explain a little about what you mean? I am running Heimdall 1.1.1 have done the following:
1. Browse from the main folder to the "Drivers" folder and run zadig as an Administrator.
2. Click on "Options" and select "List all devices"
3. Click on the dropdown menu and search for anything that might be related to Samsung Galaxy Tab or Android of which there are none.
Is there a different way to force the install of the Heimdall drivers that I'm unaware of?
Thanks for your help,
Seth
when you drop down the list of devices what all is listed? I've had it show up as just a serial device before, with no mention of samsung/tab/galaxy etc..
Devices
Cisco VT Camera II (Interface 0)
Cisco Microphone (VT Camera II) (Interface 2)
USB Receiver (Interface 0)
USB Receiver (Interface 1)
USB-Serial Controller D
Fingerprint Sensor
Optical Drive Controller
TOSHIBA Web Camera (Interface 0)
USB Multimedia Audio Device (Interface 0)
USB Multimedia Audio Device (Interface 3)
Those same entries can be found in Device Manager>Universal Serial Bus controllers even on first boot if the Tab is not connected. Even after connecting the Tab, this list does not change.
Thanks again for your help!
Seth
have you tried uninstalling everything related to the tab? Kies, the specific drivers etc, then trying the Heimdall drivers?
So all the devices listed above are there when the Tab isn't even plugged in? Odd.. I would have suggested trying it for the USB-Serial Controller D, but if it's there without the Tab plugged in it sound like a different system device.
Don't suppose you have access to a different pc to try it on? see if it even notices the Tab being plugged in and tries to install drivers..
Yeah, I have other computers to try. Tried plugging it in yesterday to a different computer (same brand and model) with no change. Computer didn't recognize the device at all and/or try to install drivers.
Usually when an unknown device is plugged into a computer, the computer registers that it's there - the Device Manager shows an "Unknown Device" somewhere in the list, but this isn't the case with this device. Not sure what happened, but it appears as though I goofed up the USB somehow in the rooting process or the port itself went bad.
I'll try other computers and write back.
Thanks again,
Seth
I've tried three different computers with the same outcome. They do not register the device at all, and I cannot mount the SD card to the computer. I'm definitely at a bit of a loss at this point. Without USB, I'm not sure how else to make this happen. Ideas?
Seth
Just to double check with hemidall ur opening the drivers folder and running zadig.exe in there going to options>list all devices
Yes, that is correct. I'm opening the Heimdall 1.1.1 folder, opening the drivers folder, and running zadig. Nothing pops up at all and nothing shows up in the device manager.
I cannot mount the SD card to my computer, but the Tab recognizes it when I plug it into the computer's USB port. That's as far as I can get, however, as the computer does not see the Tab at all.
Have you tried 'fix permisions' in recovery mode - usually under the advanced option?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
There is no "Fix permissions" in this recovery mode. Tried to fix permissions from cwr (which only went through 2 lines), but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Still force closes Gallery when I try to mount the SD card. Also force closes gallery when I try to open gallery.
This is very strange. It continues to tell me that there is an update available. I might go ahead and take it to see if it takes me back to stock. I would be okay with this as long as I had USB connectivity again and could root.
Any other thoughts?
Seth
P.S. Tried to take the update, but it gets about 1/3 of the way through the install and fails.
Any other ideas on how to flash without Heimdall?
Seth, what about trying Odin3 and its drivers?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I'll look around and find Odin3 and give it a shot. I'm concerned that because my computer doesn't recognize it as a connected USB device, that no program will see it either. That said, it's worth the shot and I appreciate the suggestion.
Do you know whether I can use the same files for Odin that I would use with Heimdall? Do they need to be packaged differently?
Thanks in advance,
Seth
If you have GSM based tab you can try flashing Team Overcome's Kratos ROM (I had no issues with download mode following their excellent ROM flashing instruction here http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64 ) which involves download mode + using Odin, which displayed that it's connected to a tab through a serial port emulation. At least you can confirm if your tab's download mode is working. I'm using Win 7 Home Premium 64 btw.
I downloaded Odin 3, but without knowing if I am able to flash a package designed for Heimdall, I'm not sure what Odin 3 would tell me. Thoughts? Can I use Odin3 to transfer one of the Heimdall-specific ROMs to the Tab?
I had this same problem some weeks back. I had to use the drivers that came with Heimdall, and most importantly, in order to get it to recognize in download mode, I had to install them while in download mode and plugged in.
Hi everybody I`d appreciate a lot if you provide me with any sort of help. The problem is following: while I was flashing a new rom my phone went out of power. After reboot I received a continuous loop of boot screen=>install screen=>reboot. In recovery mode when I try to choose the rom`s zip file I have no options. It says "No files found". I tried to mount sdcard and as far as I can see there was no failures. However, mounting emmc results in error. Equally, I tried to connect via Odin, but it does not recognize the device. Please,help me to get at least to the flashing point.

just mount phone under USB storage and copy the ROM files to the SD card that can be read by your phone and Flash the ROM from that location in CWM . To fix USB connections problems, read this
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
Thank you for the quick answer. I tried to mount it under USB storage however my computer did not recognize the phone. Following your advice I started to check the connection. The main obstacle was indeed in that Odin was not able to recognize the device under Windows 8.1. After installation of Samsung USB Driver v.1.5.25.0-retail I managed to re-flash my device smoothly.

Hello,
I cannot connect with android file transfer for Mac and My Note 5- It says try restarting or reconnecting. ANybody else get it to work? I have it set to MTP and I have restarted; it never works. I chatted with Samsung and they said to install smart switch which will install the drivers, when I did this I got a note saying AFT would likely not work and it did not. So I cannot transfer anything...
Help
thanks,
There is a arrow beside name of device pointing down. Click that and then double click the file. Opens up for you to transfer. Way better than AFT ever was
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
download and use an app called AirDroid
Sounds promising. Please explain in more detail. Where are you looking to see the name and down arrow? What app do you wind up using?

I have the same exact problem.
Neither T-mobile, nor Google nor Samsung could help. (That wasted hours of cell phone time!) I did get the Software Data Cable app to work with Filezilla, but WiFi xfer is way way too slow, as I needed to xfer 36 Gb of data.
Final solution was to use my wife's Windows PC. Our Note5s mount there as hard drives, giving full and fast access. Why, oh why, can't a Mac do that?!??

Hi,
I got it AFT to work on my MAC. I had to uninstall KIES first, Install AFT and reboot my MAC.
After that I was able to use AFT (MTP on the phone) to transfer files from my device.
Here is my config
Device: SM-N920T
BUILD: N920TUVU2COJ5
OSX: 10.11.1
AFT: 1.0.50.2266
Alternatively you can use ADB from the ADT and pull files via USB... but that is a lot more work
From terminal: adb pull /sdcard/<path to file>/ /path/to download/
Hope that helps someone.
Thanks,
Matt

From what I have experienced, its either Smart Switch or AFT. You have got to choose any one. I kept Samsung Smart Switch... maybe because I was tired of using AFT all these years and wanted a change. And from what I have seen, Mac doesn't need drivers. Its only for Windows.

If it's ok, you can try some other Samsung mobile manager tool. It allows you transfer files from all kinds of Samsung mobile phones to computer for sharing or backup just via USB connecting cord. Hope it works.

Can you give the link to Samsung Mobile Manager Tool? I am not finding anything on Google with that name.
It does not work if Kies or Smart Switch is installed. You need to properly uninstall them first. I use Android File Transfer without a problem.
