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.

Hey,
I just rooted my Milestone and installed the latest CM7 ice & Fire, got the google apps and all that stuff done and the final problem I cannot solve is this:
It does not connect to the Motorola Phone Portal thingy, it says that it cant install the MTP USB Device which means I cannot connect to the portal to import my backup of contacts (MotoContacts.bak).
How can I solve this? I need to either fix the access to portal or something that can read out all the stuff from .bak...
Thank you,
Martin
set up your gmail account...
enable sync...
we have contact(s)
Uh, no
None of my previously on-sim-card and then attached-to-gmail/facebook contacts are there
Well it can't be that hard to get it to work.
Maybe you can try and re install the motorola PC software
Hey,
thanks for taking your time with this!
I have tried reinstalling the usb drivers with the portal numerous times and no luck since everytime i connect the phone it starts doing its own installing drivers thing which fails. I can connect to the MediaSuite but that cant handle the contacts.
I searched this and found the following quotes but no solution:

Edit: and another bug I found is in the camera app, if I select AAC for audio when recording video it Force Closes, and 12kbps for audio is just to low, so its kind of a major bug that needs to be fixed if possible, hope you can fix it
Forma portale and sync you have to reinstall portal.apk;
AAC bug corrected thx to kabaldan

I rebooted it already its just i can't switch to different modes... sometimes i can but rarely and it keeps say MTP USB Device driver install unsuccessful(something like that) and after i take the usb out the icon stays there, and also after i take the usb out and pug it in it says usb device unknown/not working.... usb is also not charging
This is giving me a major headache right now. I've plugged the phone into the computer via USB to transfer some files, like I do every now and then, but now I can't because it doesn't show up as a drive anymore, and on the phone, the options seem to have changed.
This used to work perfectly fine before. I can only narrow it down to the recent official OTA upgrade to Android 4.2.2. I need mass storage mode for a few things, e.g. my music player on Windows (Media Monkey) syncs with the phone, but now of course it won't recognize it anymore.
What is going on?
- Windows 7 64bit
- Android 4.2.2 stock official OTA un-rooted, un-everything, vanilla
- HTC Sense 5.0
Thanks guys.

It doesnt get mounted as a drive (and never did), it shows up as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device. Open "Computer" on Windows and at the bottom it will show "MTP Devices", under that there will be your phone.
If it's not, then maybe you need to update HTC drivers, and check your "Device Manager" if the phone shows up correctly under "Android USB Device"
Thanks for the insight - you put me on the right track, and I got it to work now.
It showed up in the device manager, but with an error like you suggested. Unplugging the phone or switching USB debugging on and off hadn't helped (tried that a dozen times before I posted). When I checked the device manager, asking Windows to update the driver via web didn't work out either.
So I unplugged, rebooted both the phone and Windows, and plugged in again. After that, it installed some driver automatically - it worked this time, and now it works again as before. It shows in Explorer / xplorer2 / MediaMonkey as a portable device and I can use it like a drive and drag&drop files. That's what I meant by "drive", thanks for clearing that up ha.
Thank you!
I instale the Android 10 (lineage.. and Gapps) on my S8+ . All ok ,Thanks to the developer . The only problem is with Android Auto and the usb connection in Lineage software... maybe authorities usb choice is not to file tranfer...
In S8+ with original samsung os "android 9" the application android auto with same version as above function very well.
I think the problem is the way that lineage manage the usb connection with Android Auto!!!
When Android Auto strat in the infotainment the phone usb force (goes) to "without file transfer" and the connection stops
Please help
Hello Realme X2 Pro owners,
I am lately facing an issue where I tried to transfer a movie to the phone through USB and the progress bar proceeds only for some time and then stops. The file is not transferred. However small files like the subtitle files and other pics are copied over. I have tried the usual steps
restarting phone and PC
changing the USB type to file transfer from the drag down
toggling the various options in developer mode for file transfer and pic transfer
enabled and disabled USB debugging.
I had tried to unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom last month; however as the new update does not allow the fastboot option it did not allow the deep check app to run completely. AM not sure if this has anything to do with it. I am still on the STOCK Realme 1.0 March update.
EDIT: Miraculously it now works. Nothing changed, nothing done.
So glad to hear that. Next time, maybe you can try a third-party program like Coolmuster Android Assistant to help you do that. Such program can help you add videos to your phone via USB cable easily. Hope this will be your help.
