! Why KIES does not WORK - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

This is intended for people which run KIES and device is not seen, neither the message "connecting..." appear on KIES, and MTP application does not start on Samsung galaxy.
If you moved com.android.* and com.sec.android.* into some path which is not /data/data you may have this problem. At least this is what happend to me, after I moved file back MTP start and Kies recognize the device.

never moved anything it simply does not work on Windows 7 32bit.
no magic helped ... no formating internal sd nor anything else ... i've read whole fracking day on the web how to deal with this issue and none of the solution worked.
SGS GT-i9000 ECLAIR.XFJM3 rooted

disabling launcherpro fixed it for me.
im told other launchers cause issues too

Eh, really, problems on Win 7 32bit? Haha that's so strange because it works almost flawlessly on Windows 7 64bit. Perhaps the first time there's better support for 64bit than 32bit.

Yes, you MUST run TWlauncher (standard launcher in Touchwiz) and if you got Windows 7, you might wanna download some third party drivers.
I'm on Windows 7 64bit and I downloaded the win7 x64 samsung galaxy s drivers form softpedia.

well the mtp driver doesnt install on my 64 bit computer.

It works on windows 7 32 and 64 bit just fine
No third party drivers and no magic. It's all down to individual system config otherwise it would be the same for everybody.
Incidentally, there is an update out for Kies taking it to version 1.5.1.10074_45

Works fine for W7 32bit flawlessly to. Also for me on 2.2 it works under launcher pro as well, added bonus of not having to use home switcher (or the like) every time I connect the phone

It works fine on my copy of Windows 7 64bit, but I have to switch to touchwiz, and go to driver recovery in the kies menu.

I use XP at home and at work.
From home with JP6 and Kies 1.5.3.10093_82 I can connect fine using a cheap USB cable and with phone having Samsung Kies as default running LauncherPro.
At work Kies cannot connect to the phone... it just says connecting, please wait.... all the time, its wierd...
I guess I have to remove all the USB hubs on the work computer.... Will install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit at work soon so... maybe ill just wait until then...

Kies not working with LauncherPro. You have to create a shortcut to MTP Application, when you connected the phone and selected Kies need to start with this shortcut.
This is the only way to connect Kies with LauncherPro.
Somewhere I read about this, LaucherPro not recognised like TW.
Hope this helps.

The only way I have ever ever gotten kies was following these steps:
1. Completely close kies
2. Connect your phone
3. Open up device manager, find I9000 (should be under portable devices), right-click and disable (if device manager lags after you click disable then unplug the phone)
4. Replugin the phone and wait for it to say connected on the phone's screen
5. Re-enable I9000 in device manager
6. Fire up Kies and it should connect
These steps have worked every time for me
ps: I'm on Windows 7 x64

Not tested but seems to be approved

I'm on linux so i never used kies. Jusi odin all the way and i have nothing to complain about

This issue has become rediculous. Samsung fail so much with this usb ****. I run Win 7 32 bit and kies previously worked and even when it occassionally wouldn't I used odin.
Now unfortunately the phone just isn't recognised even after various driver and spftware reinstallations and registry deletions etc... etc... etc....

WMDC on Windows 7 RC1

WMDC was working fine for me until I upgraded to RC1 of Windows 7. It did tell me as I upgraded that WMDC wasn't compatible. The only thing I have installed which isn't in fact. Windows own mobile device centre is the only thing not compatible that I had!?!?!?
Anyway, I guess I'll try a reinstall, but does anyone know how I can get it WMDC working again?
(I'm using Dutty's 3.3 and W7 RC1 64bit)
Hi. Now I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate RC Evaulation copy. Build 7100 and everything is working fine. Even rom upgrades working with no poroblem.
hey guys - I'm using RC1 too but the 64-bit - never tried to use it to flash my device though (dual boot with XP)
its the last piece of the puzzle I need in order to migrate completely to W7 and wave goodbye to WinXP.
can you both confirm which versions you are using please? and if 64-bit did you have to install the vista 64-bit driver found on these forums or did it work 'straight out of the box'?
thanks
I have 32-bit version of Windows 7 RC. I just connect mine HTC TOUCH HD to PC and Windows install the drivers and Windows Mobile Device Center install automaticly. Now everything is working. cheers
As I said, I have 64 bit and WMDC wont even start for me
I have Win 7 RC1 64bits, and Duttys HD V2,4
You need to uncheck Enable faster data sync in Settings/Connections/USB to PC..
That dit the trick for me...
Hi! I have 2 notebooks, one with win7 rc1-32bits, the other with win7 rc1-64 bits. I connect my Touch HD on both, succesfully.
Htc Touch HD Aka Blackstone
Windows 7 RC (Build7100)
Everything works GREAT!!!
Flashing, synchronizing!
Must be your config
Windows 7 RC x64 here, can flash without problems, after downgrading HTC-USB drivers to active sync drivers
Windows 7 here X6. Everything works perfect
I'm using Windows 7 RC1 64BIT without any problem.
Have you upgraded from Windows 7 Beta to the RC?
Than you must uninstal WMDC before. After the upgradeprocess reinstall WMCD again.

You shouldn't need to disable faster data connections. The reason that this method works is that it detects a new device and installs new drivers.
There are a few things to do, I am not sure which in particular does it, but I'vbe upgraded Windows 7 many times and some combination has always worked.
Reinstall WMDC 7.1
Manage partnerships and delete them all.
When you plug in your phone go to device manager, find your phone (if faster data connections is shown, it will be listed as a portable device and a Lan connection)
click "uninstall" on these items, and delete drivers if this option is available.
unplug phone. Wait
Plug it back in.
Let it install drivers
If this still doesn't work. Click on the devices (network connection and portable device) selelct "upgrade drivers" on each, searching the internet.

To be honest, now it works I'm not going to mess with it unless I have to. Will it be a slower transfer to the HD?
Hi all,
I had similar trouble with Windows 7 RC, however I followed the instructions posted at: http://capitalhead.com/articles/ena...synchronization-on-windows-7-x64-and-x86.aspx and that did the trick.
If I'm not mistaken, Windows 7 is supposed to download WMDC automatically, however it never did that for me. Hope it helps someone else.

w7-64bit RC1 here....
WMDC works fine (stock install) - use it both at home and at work, and i flash by renaming and copying rom image to SDcard\blacimg.nhb
Unistall
Try to uninstall WMDC and download and install another one from the internet! It work for me and i had the same problem...
W7 and Blackstone here. Flashing Syncing ... works great.
I know this thread is old but I am having this problem and none of the suggestions I have found out on the internet have solved it. I am basically having the same issue as most people in this thread have had but the REAL problem is that Windows Mobile Device Center will NOT install no matter what I try. I run the setup for it and it looks fine until it gets to 1 second left on the progress bar. Then it sits...and sits...and sits...until finally the bar rolls backward and the installation quits. No error messages, no nothing and no WMDC. I am running Win7RC x64. I will never get syncing working if I can't get WMDC actually installed in the first place. I did look in the event log and it seems there is an error related to VSS every time I attempt an install on this app. Anyone have any ideas?

Windows 8 - USB Debugging Crash

If I enable USB debugging on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and connect the phone to my Windows 8 machine, the PC crashes.
Has anyone else successfully connected to a win8 pc while in debug mode?
I have problems like this on my win8 too.
Windows 8, while it is in RTM mode, there is still a lot of work to be done on it. I would not recommend upgrading your desktop or notebook, unless you have a touch screen. Win8 is awful in my opinion, with some cool features.

Sadly as an IT admin I don't have the luxury of "Skipping" OS's and must learn them whether I like them or not. I will test this out and get back to you OP.
Thanks. I don't mean for this to turn into the pros/cons of win8, I was curious if others had seen the same behavior.
The system looks like it tries searching for a compatible driver and crashes with a "Bad_Pool_Header" error.
For me windows 8 installed the correct drivers by itself all i had to do is enable it in device manager
Both of my Dell workstations crashed, but my Lenovo ThinkPad didn't. Appears to be hardware/driver related. I'll keep digging.
I also have the same problem and error. Any solutions?
had that problem only once, now it works fine

I resolved the blue screens by installing Samsung Kies which installs the USB drivers for the Galaxy Nexus. Afterwards Windows 8 (Pro RTM 64bit) correctly installs all drivers when using USB Debugging mode, no more blue screens.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace II GT S7500, Windows 8 and Kies

Hi I have that stuffs what in the title, and have connection problems also
I have 64 bit Win8 Pro so I have media stuffs and all what Kies need. I installed Kies, restarted the machine and try to connect phone. Connected the USB Kies still write to me Connect some device.... In windows device manager have an Unrecognized Android Phone, so I think driver sucks. Try to connection problem wizard in Kies, doesn't help. If I run as an admin don't help to me....
Have some way to manually install that driver in win device manager?
Under win7 64 problem few weeks ago I can use my phone with Kies, but with win8 I can't.
I hope we can figure something out guys!
loool samsung support want to make me do it factory reset I said lol, this device work under win7 with Kies but nothing happened since yesterday, I found a way to manually instal driver, but just write me connecting for a half hour, and I so bored and disconnect the phone. Please anyone help me out!
Same problem
Im having the same problem. My pc doesnt recognize the phone(with kies installed and the latest updates from microsoft and samsung)(with drivers ofc). I have contacted with samsung support center and they say that so far they cant guarantee that kies will work fine for all the devices in windows 8. I ve never had windows 7 so i dont know about a problem there. I ve upgraded from Windows XP(which Kies was working exellent) to Windows 8 and now im facing these problems. Hope to fix soon
Samsung galaxy ace, gt-s5830, 2.3.6
Windows 8 Pro 32-bit
Win7 drivers "SHOULD" work with Win8... but anyways, did you try uninstalling ALL drivers of your phone and removing cached drivers from your system? Then do a fresh install of drivers try offline first. It doesn't work, remove everything and try if windows itself can find the driver for you. But usuallly the phone itself would make the PC install the drivers the phone needs.

Galaxy Ace 2 is I8160 not S7500

Windows doesn't "see" note 2.

Good Evening folks,
I'm posting here after spending the better part of 2 days trying to figure out why this doesn't work.
So, i have the following:
model: GT-N7100
Version: 4.1.1
Build: JRo03C - ALJ1
I run a PC with windows 7 and also have a laptop with windows 8.
Now, initially i only wanted to root my device to install an addblocker on it and get rid of some bloatware. so i went and got samsung note2 toolkit here on XDA. (also tried others)
but no matter how i tried the pc (nor laptop) would see the note 2. it would plug in, it would charge... but windows ignored it otherwise.
i have tried al 8 of my USB ports on the desktop, and all 3 on the laptop. none of them work
3 different USB cables.
re-booted more then times then i can count.
i have manually installed the samsung drivers.
i have tried installing the windows MTP Porting kit
all to no avail.
So before i can even START to root... i need it to to play nice with my machines... anyone have ANY suggestions on what the hell is going on here.
If your main priority is to root then use exynos abuse

Did you install Kies on your PC? That program needs to be open when you connect your phone and then it will install the needed drivers.

Installed the Android File Transfer app, but the moment I connect my phone, it pops up a message saying please restart your device so that it can be detected. I am tired of transferring individual files over AirDroid Any help?

What's the error message?
Happened to me before, un install kies on your pc reboot, download from Samsung website and install again, should work
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
first of all I forgot to mention that this should've been posted in Q&A section
for the problem try the following steps. after each one of them try connecting again. keep net disconnected while you follow the steps.
if it starts working then stop other wise continue.
1)use a diff comp, but you already did that , use a different cable, you didn't mention it
2)try uninstalling drivers via programs and features.
3)try installing drivers - preferably via mskip's toolkit
if you have windows 7, then directly install it
if you have windows 8, then first disable driver signature enforcement via this guide's last question.
4)try re installing windows. if you don't wanna do that then
open device manager
in view -> show hidden devices
delete each one that says samsung, note ii or note 2, android, google, adb, gt-n7100, n7100
this will ensure that you truly remove drivers
follow step 3) after this.
Hope I helped
All the usual and helpful ideas have been listed and you should definitely work thru those to make sure you are not missing something obvious but critical. I also use Win8 (64) and all was well with my Note2 showing up as an MTP device and wll working then one day, seemingly spontaneously, it suddenly didnt! When I would plug my Note2 in, Windows would give me a USB error telling me it could nto recognise the device! To cut a long story short, I tried my wife's S2 and IT appered fine as an MTP device happily enough, so that ruled out the cable, the port and the computer/OS.
I then tried my Note2 on my laptop, and once again it came up as USB error, so the problem was following the DEVICE around....
After a lot of googling, I tried on thing that fixed it instantly:
On the phone, go into Settings, Security and delete all the "Device Administrators" which in my case was just my Email app. That did delete my email account from my phone (contacts, email etc) but didnt matter as phone is just a dumb client to the mail server so no loss of any real data.
Once removed, I then plugged phone in and BOOM! MTP device happily appeared! I then went back in and just re-added my email account and re-activated Device Administrator when asked. Working ever since.
Not saying this is your problem, but it was an eye opener to me that the Device Administrator could 'lock out' the USB connection of the device....
Hope this helps.

I would also recommend checking your Windows Update log - especially if you have it set to automatic updates. After I installed the drivers off of the Samsung website, Windows Update tried to "Update" my drivers to an older version (I do manual Windows Updates). The first time it asked, I let it, and my phone couldn't connect anymore. Once I stopped that silliness I stopped having problems.

[q] tablet not recognized by all computers!!!

Hi friends, I follow you every day and I love you!
I have a very big problem with my Note 10.1 2014 edition, that I can't solve. When I connect it to the computer (I tried 5 computers with different windows versions) it only charge the battery, but it's not recognised by kies or Odin. In Windows 8.1 it is shown as "unrecognised usb driver", in windows 7 too and it isn't seen at all in windows xp. I tried reinstalling kies, factory reset the tab, but without success. What can I do? I'm thinking about sending it in assistance.
Thank you and excuse me for my bad English!

When you plug in the tablet does it ask you (on the tablet screen) if you want to connect as a media device or charge only? Check your developer settings that you don't have debug mode set.
No, it doesnt ask anything...

Have you confirmed that you are NOT in USB debug mode?
Also make sure drivers are installed on computer. Sometimes it can take a few minutes to install drivers. When I first put mine on computer at work I had to manually install driver's.

Yes, i reinstalled drivers through kies application, but nothing
I have the same issue. I have been searching for a fix. I want to root but PC will not recognize it or pop up with anything, tablet only charges nothing else up on tablet. I have search and searched but nothing. I am also running windows 8.1.
*****
I have now tried a 2nd PC using all USB plugs. Installed Kies nothing, uninstalled and installed only driver still nothing. Clicked version 6 times on build number to get Developer options. I enabled USB debugging.
I am starting to get upset, I just want to Root for a few functions. It shouldn't be this difficult.
Anyone have any thoughts? It could be a simple thing we are over looking.
Change cable
Also try rebooting your PC .
My laptop stops finding USB devices after about 2 weeks.
Solved
I solved selling the tablet for 430$!
For those who are still having the problem, this solution worked for me on Windows 7.
I installed the first "Download" Link from here.
