The problem is with win 8 drivers search, how to connect phone in flash mode with win 8.
Many people have said there is problem but only with win 8 if you can try another PC/laptop which runs win 7/vista/xp

Does ANYONE know how to make Kies work with Windows 7 x64 bit ? Is there a hack ?

Anyone know how to get Kies working with windows 7 x64 bit ?
Please help i need to use it to update and get my 3 button combo working.
Any ideas ?
No hack matey. Simply need to install the 64 BIT drivers. I myself am on Windows 7 64 BIT for the extra RAM recognition. Kinda sucks that 32 BIT can only recognise 1.75GB of RAM. I think I installed them from here:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
It's phone specific, these are the Galaxy S drivers, so make sure you Google 'Your Phone Model, 64 BIT Windows 7 Drivers'. Install these, reboot, connect your phone to PC and launch Kies on your phone. Kies should start on your PC automatic, but sometimes requires a prompt to start. Make sure you use the Samsung Kies connection manager for the first time connecting your phone. These drivers will also work with Odin for flashing your phone, and I believe they will work with ABD although I don't use that.
REF, took the drivers from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
I have windows 7 x64 and Kies running without any problems...
Its working great fir me. What problems are you facing?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No problems with kies also over here @ x64... just installed kies the way you normally do
Yeah, some people have to install the drivers manually, depends on the RC and Windows Update. Check the drivers post if anyone is having any problems!
trying now - removed kies too and dl the newest version ill let you know if this works
cheers mate

Well basically I installed Kies, and when I connect my phone, from the List i select Kies, and it says on my pc drivers failed to install, and on my phone it just does the MTP screen thingy and it disappears, over and over again.
I can't connect my phone at all. It sucks because I really need use Kies so I can get my 3 button combo working and really mess around with the phone.

Did you install usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

Kies works fine on my Windows 7 64Bit Professional.

It's not Kies that is your problem mate.
MTP flashing on the Galaxy S means you have a program on the phone causing the problem. 16 digit file extensions is the issue. You can try unmounting the internal and external memory cards.
You can try formating the internal memory.
You can use a program which is available to search for the 16 digit file extention issues and delete the folders/files it finds.
Make sure you don't have an alternate launcher started as well. Kies doesn't like it.
try uninstalling it than install the version from samsung website
here is the link:

Got it working for him, he said hes going to make a donation to me . Hope so, need to pay for university! Great guy to teach, learns fast, and showed him how to update to JPH 2.2.
I have a problem with kies as well, MTP flashing.
Where can I find this app that removes 16 digit file extensions etc?
From day one I havent been able to connect to kies.

Mtp application error..

Hi all..i got problem with this well known matter - mtp application error when synched with kies in my win7..i'v tried everything but none seems helping..

Plz help,i realy need to upgrade my sgs dtjg4 to froyo..
Thanx..

Hopefully it helps.
Thanx for the link..yes, that is exactly of what happen to my device - mtp application keep flickering n initializing until the screen out..I did erase the long file name..unfortunately the problem still remains there..
On my lappy,says mtp driver doesn't installed correctly..but why my other sgs can connect to kies on it?
Sooo confusing..

Somebody, anybody, please help..i juz want froyo in my hand like others..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'm trying to upgrade my adroid OS to Froyo. When I connect my Samsung Galaxy S to my laptop running Windows 7, it says installing device drivers. After about 5 seconds it says
Device driver software was not successfully installed
MTP USB Device Failed.
Windows 7 is not recognising the phone, but Windows XP recognises it straight away. Has anyone had this problem previously or have any idea what could be preventing 7 from recognising the phone? Annoying to say the least!
Actually,what i've done was just reset the phone to factory setting n evrything came back to normal..what u have to do is
1. download a backup apps from market,backup evrythg (reset will clear the setting n system only..photo, mp3 and apps folder will remain there in sd..)
2. Disable lagfix (if any)
3. then reset the phone to factory setting.
4. Reboot n u can connect your phone to pc as normal again.
This steps take less then 10 minutes (plus 5minutes to restore evrythg) n much2 better than to search the best way to fix the problem..
The case is,something wrong in our phone..should be one of the listed in our 'googles' or no one knows it..so better take this way,n yes,u are going to upgrade it anyway..lol,no harm!!

If there was an issue with the phone, it wouldn't connect to any PC. The fact that Windows XP recognises is straight-away tells me there is an issue with my PC's OS. I am experiencing an odd situation, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 KB976932 has several updates bundled together 200+MB, 1 of the updates 44BM will not configure error 0x800F8026. I'm hoping someone familiar with the Update log in Windows 7 forum can makes some sense of it and come up with a solution! In the meantime I'll percevere.
I dont know if we have the same problem..mine was another galaxy s can connect to my win7 but the other cannot..i used all the methods found in google to solve the problem in my phone..but none of them helping..fed up with that, so i reset my phone..problemo solved
Anyway,hope someone knows can tell it here..

The problem or problems lie with my laptops OS. I did a factory setting restore on my phone, but still getting the error.

[Q] Issues drives Software Update mode

Hi All
I am having issues upgrading my mother in laws lg970 to ICS i have tried multiple drivers/ways
all with same issue when phone reboots in to s/w upgrade mode my computer stops being able to detect it comes up with unknown device. Machine has multiple reboots before/after uninstall/installing drivers
I have tried the tons of guides around the place, tried using LGMobile Support Tool, KDZ & Smartflash all with same issue, Computer detects phone fine when its on, but as soon as i go in to S/W mode no luck. I have tried LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.1_2 & LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1, the LG software downloads LG United Mobile Driver 3.7.2.0
(havin't had this much issue doing any of my samsung phones, or acer tablets)
Anyone got any ideas
Thanks
I also often get this problem.
After searching around, I found this step, it works for me
redgolum said:
After 2 day on this @"#[email protected]# phone, I find a solution work only on widows 7:
With the usb recognition I succed with this protocole,
1) Uninstall the Lg driver
2) Install the driver with B2C
3) Put the phone in S/W mode with the battery windows will say that it's not recognized,
4) Unplug the phone It will stay on S/W mode
5) Reboot Windows 7, and as soon as the desktop finish to load, plug your phone
And miracle it's work. Sometime you need to do it 2,3, or 10 times.

Try from step 3 first. If it doesn't work, repeat from step 1
If it still doesn't work, do this first, then repeat above prosess
*note (base on my experience):
- step 5, I plug it when the shortcut in desktop appear
- works in windows 7 and windows 8

AW: [Q] Issues drives Software Update mode
If you use only the original LG driver it will only work with a 32bit Windows. To make it work with a 64bit Windows you need to use a extra SW. I think it's call something like enabler, you find it here somewhere.

you have to boot into safe mode and install the drivers that way.
It may not be called safe mode in win 8, but its something like that
RE: Xperia T wont stay in fastboot mode?
I have the same problem has anyone figured it out yet i cant do it in safe mode
had the same issue, but with me the problem was w8, if you are on window 8 you need to disable driver verification or something like that, i recomend, doing it on a windows 7 pc
I have windows 7 but did not work, can using a laptop affect the driver installation?
No, I use a win 7 laptop

That's bull****. You only put the Sus in cm, not the whole windows. You simply can not upgrade the phone using w 8.1.

Hello,
I was able to update my phone using SEUS under Windows 8.1 x64, up to date.
I started SEUS using :
- "Solve compatibility problem" right click menu
- "Solve problem" (2nd option)
- "Application started previously under older OS"
- Selecting Windows 7 compatibility mode.
The Xperia SP re-apperared in the device list, and I was able to go through the whole update process.
Hope it will help other people to pass that frustrating moment :highfive:
