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.

Ok, decided for the first time to try out Kies in an attempt to see if Froyo was available for me.
Well ffs, after 1hr I am for throwing the phone out of the nearest available window.
I am not a complete fool btw, as I previously owned windows phones and was a weekly flasher on XDA (in a rom sense and not a naked sense).
I have tried both methods described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758212
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758429
Neither work for me.
Kies just keeps trying to connect, but with no joy.
I am running the latest version of Kies, and am lost as to how to proceed.
Are there any other working methods to get this piece of s**t working?
All advice is welcome.
Are you running any sort of launcher like awd or Pro? If so you must disable it before you connect.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
running launcher pro, however disabled it and was running TW whilst trying to connect to Kies (as per instructions).
set it to use TW (as you have done) then in Settings> About Phone> USB settings...select Kies
reboot the phone, wait for it to complete boot up. Have Kies started on the pc then plug the usb in
That should do it
Thanks for the replies, I tried this to the step and in Kies it just says:
Connecting the Device, please wait, and the bar keeps cycling back and forward.
Tbh, this is all I have ever got. *sigh*
Are you sure there is no application running in background blocking internal nor external sd card? Check all tasks, nothing should use sd cards, while trying to connect to Kies.

Hi Guys,
I had the same issue and I connected the usb cable to another usb port.
That pretty much solved it.
beside that I did disable LP+
Hope that helps

This is what works for me (on Windows 7 32-bit):
1. Select Kies USB mode on the phone, disable USB debugging
2. Exit all apps and stay on the TWLauncher Home Screen
3. Connect phone to the PC
4. Open Control Panel > Hardware > Device Manager and check if the 'GT-I9000' appears in the list under 'Portable Devices' without an error icon (that exclamation mark thingy)
5. If 'GT-I9000' does not appear AT ALL, try another USB port. Also see step 7.
6. If 'GT-I9000' appears but with an exclamation mark in Device Manager, right-click > uninstall > refresh. You might need to do this more than once.
7. If instead of 'GT-I9000', you see 'MTP Device', do an 'Update Driver' process and in the wizard manually select location as '\Windows\Inf'
8. Once GT-I9000 does appear correctly in Device Manager, start Kies - it should work.
PS: I don't have a Windows machine around right now, so apologies in advance if I got some of the nomenclature wrong in the above steps.
Why are u using kies. If u want to upgrade just use Odin like everyone else. Kies is a piece of **** that gives ppl brain tumors and murders puppies like itunes
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
It sounds like you have the long file name extension problem. Basically, there are files on your sd card with extensions longer then three characters and this is what prevents Kies from initialising.
Mount your sd cards as mass storage and do a search for *.* This should expose the offending files. Delete them and recollect to the PC with Kies.
Tried all of the above with no luck :-(
Phone shows up as GT-I9000 fine with no errors, removed external sd card, and unmounted internal sd card, etc, etc.
How do I use Odin? Does it invalidate my warranty? Sick of this Kies sh1t.
Here's what I did:
1. Uninstall kies
2. Clean up registry using ccleaner or similar registry cleaner (kies doesn't clean up after itself ) and remove all kies registry junk
3. Reinstall kies
4. Reconnect your g
Hopefully it should work for you because it did for me.
Goodluck

Also tried removing Kies, cleaning and reinstalling and allowing it to update. Still doesn't connect to my phone! What a piece of crap software! Is Froyo out yet on o2 uk or do I still have some time to figure this crap out?

Hi Guys,
I have read all the threads and fixed for Kies but i am still stuck in a tricky situation. So far i have removed all files with extension greater than 16. Then formatted SD card to be sure.
Driver Recovery done through Kies, then rebooted the phone and connected it but still no go. Also i don't have any lagfix or different HomeScreen installed. It used to connect fine earlier but one fine day it just stopped working.
OS : Windows 7 64bit
Kies : Latest version 1.5.3.10103_100
The MTP Application on phone shows connected but the KIES keeps on connecting to the phone

The exact same thing keeps happening to me too. I just take the cable out and reconnect it immediately. Seems to work for me.

^^ Doesn't work for me
If i remove the cable and try to connect again then i get those MTP crashes. After that i have to remove drivers and restart the phone.
I have exact same problem.I fixed MTP loop issue,phone seems to be connected but kies still search for device. If i unmount internal sd,phone is stuck in mtp loop again. Odin is probably the only option,but dont want to lost garantee.

I am in the same boat
As last resort i will try wiping off all the data if nobody can come up with a solution for this.
I have also tried that (wipe,format SD) but without success...
Sent from my GT-I9000
Two things:
First, make sure your USB settings are set to Samsung Kies and not to "Ask on Connection" or anything else...
Second, I plug in my phone... wait for the PC to detect it, THEN launch Kies... don't open Kies until your PC detects the phone (you can verify by seeing if it shows up in File Explorer)
There is a bug with the MTP Application on our phones... going to be posting a thread about it shortly.
^^ Thanx for the help...
But this tip also didn't work out for me
My PC detected the phone just fine, but when i open KIES it never changes from the Connecting status
I've tried these tips:
-let Windows (7 32b) download all drivers
-reinstall Kies (5 times)
-manually install MTP drivers
-delete all files longer 16 characters (on both SDs)
-WIPE Phone and format both SDs
-Reinstall Kies drivers (automatically in left upper menu bar)
-connect usb and choose other connection like "mass storage" (after that kies recognize connection what is strangest thing)
-try 3 versions of KIES
...still same result.
Yup I know how all of you are feeling, I have the same problems too.
KIES really is nothing but a pain in the @SS!!
Just to add to the fixes that i have tried.
- Changed com port from 9 to 12 of GT-I9000 Device - Didn't Help
- Tried Connecting from 4 different USB Ports - Didn't help
Version of MTP Drives for windows 7 64-bit is (6.1.7600.16385) 6/21/2006 , can someone please confirm if this is the latest thing ? Also for those using windows 64-bit, if KIES is working then what is the driver version and date ?
Just loaded windows once again. Installed Kies and then updated Kies to the latest version. The version for use drivers it shows is 1.3.950.0. Before re installing windows I had 1.3.450.0 which I had downloaded from xda. Do you have winamp installed. Try removing it. I had a problem with it.

try this fix.
1)remove any external memory card
2)on your phone, navigate to the DCIM folder, and there should be a thumbnail folder.
3)delete all the thumbnail. files. they should have a white background.
4)connect to kies
@hennes : thanx for the suggestion m8 , we have already tried that ( its the 16 char limit thingy) .
Today i am going to reinstall my Windows 7- 64bit. If it doesn't work this time then i am going to abuse the chimps @ samsung FB page.

@Abhishek...I had the exact same problem.
I tried this method and it worked:
1. Go to Device manager.
2. You'll most probably see a problematic device --> GT-I9000.
3. Uninstall drivers for that device while your phone is connected to the PC.
4. Disconnect your phone and reconnect it in Kies mode.
5. Let windows search for the drivers and install them.
Once the installation completes successfully, your phone will be detected by Kies.
In case windows is unable to find the updated drivers, try installing them manually.
Hope this helps...
Abhisnek: I deside to put FroYo to my device trough odin and it works great.Im running on Doc FroYo right now.Result in quadrant are more than 200 points higer and it fixed many issues. If your phone have recovery than i recomend you do that too.I dont need kies any more.

Hi everyone,
I have an AT&T Captivate SGH-i897 (2nd hand) and i can't mount the phone to my laptop (winXP 32bit). When i plug in the cable to the phone and then the PC i get the "device not recognized".I've donwloaded the Samsung drivers from the xda wiki page and extracted them and tried to update the driveres via Device Mng ,but didn't work.Also dl'ed the Samsung drivers 5.0.x instaled ,and still nothing.USB Debugging is on...
So to recap,my top can't recognize the phone('s internal sd card) so plz help ???????
Try this, go into usb settings and choose "mass storage"

I would also recommend trying to fully uninstall all the drivers that associated on your pc with your phone (samsung or otherwise), and then reinstall the drivers before you plug in your phone. Then try to reconnect.
Just covering the basics. Assuming your phone is working correctly.
You have tried multiple USB ports on your computer, particularly those on the back if it's a desktop.
You have installed correct drivers (x86 or x64)
" for the correct operating system.
You have uninstalled the drivers before trying to reinstall.
You've tried to get Windows/ Mac to find them online (assuming you're using versions of OS that support doing that)
You've first tried Kies mini before full version, uninstalling in between. (Kies full version isn't supported for US, there are workarounds, but that's a different discussion)
On the phone you tell the phone to connect 'USB storage' (from the pull down menu after connected or in the settings)
I too am having problems with USB connectivity on a notebook with Win7/64. The usual failure mode is Windows not recognizing the USB device. I have followed ZBigT's basics, step by step and still cannot connect.
FWIW, my registry is awash with Samsung entries, some of which cannot be deleted.
I've even tried the AIO Toolbox application (to install the 64 bit drivers) to no avail.
Any other tips?

FWIW, I also have a Win7/64 desktop with the usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 installed and that works fine; can connect see "drives", use ODIN, adb commands etc.
It just the notebook, which I would like to be able to use to connect, especially when I travel, which has issues.

Check in program files for a Samsung folder. There may be remnants from old drivers that need to be manually deleted.

Thanks for sticking with this. I was able to connect. I as focused on the Registry remnants, but your advice to clear out the Samsung folder in Programs worked. Thank you.
Additional comments: I am now running the Dlev ROM, it's OK, but when I plugged in the USB cable, just to the phone, it launched the Alarm Clock app! So I deleted that.
Then on the first of my four USB ports I got a USB driver failure to install, then the Windows Unrecognized USB device on ports 2 & 3. On port 4 it worked. (This is a Lennovo/Thinkpad notebook.)
I used the usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 package as that also worked on my desktop.
Thank you very much.
I just upgraded to JB 4.1.2 and notice that the phone will no longer automatically mount the sdcards in Windows 7 Explorer. I got used to simply connecting a USB cable and "GT-N7000" would appear in the list of drives in Explorer. Could this be someting to do with the ROM itself? The stock one for my phone is not available yet to compare.
Does anyone know of an app that will do this that works on this ROM? I've tried several but none of them seem to do what they claim.
I know I can use an apps such as MyPhoneExplorer (phone client) and PC app but this involves as many buttone and key presses as doing it natively on the phone.

I believe this is a bug with the leaked JB, ive seen several similar issues regarding charging / mounting / storage, Basically everything that requires USB.
I too suffer from this occasionally but im a ubuntu user.
Have you tried multi-mount - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rafoid.multimountsdcard.widget&hl=en
Thats the paid version ^^ there is a lite (free) version which does the job, It also has option for auto mount when usb is connected.
Thank you. Yes, I tried MultiMount but couldn't get it to work. Spent a fruitless hour fiddling around with it. Would have been happy to buy the paid app if it had.
Basically, all I'm looking for is to automate the "USB Connected/Turn on USB storage" function of JB when I plug in a USB cable. It works fine right now but too many things to swipe and click on to get there.
Do you use MTP or Mass Storage ? If you go to settings > more > usb utilities, It should have option to change.
If you use MTP it will will automatically mount when connected, With mass storage you must manually mount it.
Alternatively just quick search google for android auto mount
There's a ton of apps / tricks to do this, Not sure if they work on JB yet but worth a try, Ive never used anything like that so i cannot confirm which ones work and which dont.
