There is definately a bug with the phone. I personally and from what I can see several other people are having exactly the same issue. We just need to shout at samsung, lots of upset/unhappy customers screaming as loudly as they can will get things fixed. Louder you shout, better it will be!
Solved
In order for Phone to be recognized by Kies it needs to be connected to the PC in "Kies Mode" and not in "Mass Storage Mode" or any other mode.
As soon as you switch to Kies mode your phone will get recognized by KIES and the relevant drivers will be installed.

Did you read the original post? The problem is, with me as well, that Kies starts working if you select mass storage mode and then gives you an error. However Kies does absolutely nothing when you select Kies mode on the Samsung Galaxy S.
yuppss.....you seem to have the same problem too....hmmmm...any solution from anybody????
The software isn't compatible with our phones yet. I think it isn't even compatible with Android. After numerous fails on trying to connect with USB, I tried to connect with Kies through Bluetooth. I had the option to choose between Windows Mobile and Symbian.
I think we just have to be patient and wait for a new version of Kies. In the meanwhile you can exchange files by choosing to connect through USB and pick the option to connect as Mass Storage. In the notification bar press to connect it to the computer, so it reads your SD card(s).
Strange... I've never had a single problem connecting to KIES. It always sees the phone, always connects and I can do everything (which isn't that much really, but ok). Are you sure you have the latest version installed?
Hi there.. are you the one that I invited from GSM-Arena?
Welcome to xda-developers!
That happened to me before, the only thing I did is to set my SGS' USB Mode to "Kies"
then on the Kies on my PC i just selected the "Driver Recovery" & wait for it to do it's thing... I think it'll ask for a restart...
& before you plug your SGS to your PC, start Kies first... (right click the task bar Icon -> Start Kies)

It is just a minor bug..
Kies won't detect the SGS in Kies Mode --
IF.. your USB Settings is set as "Ask on Connection" and you select "Samsung Kies" when it pops up...
so what I do is to specifically set the USB Settings to "Samsung Keis" before I plug the USB to my PC & make sure that Samung Kies is "Started" on your PC..
...
anyways... Samsung apparently admitted that there's a bug with keis and they're already on it.. I've read that in some threads here.. can't remember where..
Kies Firmware upgrade
I tried to install Kies in my Windows 7 PC and I can see Kies reading and firmware version and tells me there is an upgrade available and after I clicked on the button to go ahead with the update - I see the progress bar downloading the binary (as it says while it is still downloading 'downloading binary files') it takes atleast around 5 mins and once done it asks me to click on 'next' button to continue - when done - there is silence for around 10 seconds and then i see the message in the progress bar in PC that says 'upgrade has started and dont disconnect the phone' followed by my phones screen showing the android logo doing a road work telling upgrade in progress..but just in 5 seconds more - the PC message says, -
in one instance it said - disconnecting device and lost connection
another instance - i got the message 'failed to convert the binary to upgrade mode, try later'
another time - I got the message that said 'RAPI.dll' missing in your computer please install and try again'
Then went for rescue towards my winXP laptop runnivng SP3 -
I could install Kies properly and no problem connecting the device after a few tries it could see my phone then clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available - i went ahead to do the upgrade as usual by clicking on the accept conditions and after downloading - device got disconnected and shortly i get a message telling 'failed to convert to upgrade more try later'
In many other instance with my windows xp - PC cant detect my phone - I even tried to reinstall driver from the Kies menu - still no luck.
This morning I tried the same in my office PC running windows XP - everything went well as usual but finally when the upgrade process started I end up with the same message 'failed to convert to upgrade more try later'.
During this happens I see the screen change in my phone that freezes telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect while the PC says failed to upgrade do you want to stop upgrading and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' - getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.
I have another question since I saw somebody mention that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.
somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.
thanks
Simple solution is to type MMC in your run on Windows and select the disk management as the add-on. Scroll down and see the drive where your phone is plugged in(recognize by the size) and assign it a drive letter as an option when you right click....problem solved. This works for USB drives that are not recogzed as well.
I have contacted samsung and although their recommendation wasn't pleasant it did work. Unmount and format the internal sd card. You will lose photos and media from the phone including any app media, but won't lose your contacts or apps.
I went from zero kies sync to a working system. I have also found out that the system can work well after doing the driver recovery and switching the phone on and off while its plugged into the pc while you are running kies.

can anyone comment on the above please - i am desperate on the upgrade but it stops me and says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode' what does that mean. thanks
Are you guys using an alternate launcher such as launcher pro, because kies doesn't seem to work with other launchers. If you are indeed using launcher pro, you must use the home switcher app from the market to temporarily switch to default launcher, restart the phone and connect to kies. When you are done, use the same app to switch back.

You can always do a manual update by flashing your phone to a newer firmware containing the updates - If you ask me, its easier than battling with Kies. There is a good FAQ here: (http)://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
Guide and European and Asian firmwares can be found here: (http)://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm
HF and feel free to ask if you get any problems.
New Kies released today update through the Kies program. Might solve a few of your problems.

Sorry for the possible errors in the writing, but as I have a basic english, I used google translator, and he sometimes modifies a little the text. Let's go to the point.
Guys, is the following. I changed the ROM of my android (LG Optimus L3) to CM9, but its bugs were bothering me, and then I decided to change. In that exchange,I ended up installing a ROM worse, she was not stable, full of errors, and then decided to return to the original ROM. Was in exchange ROM process that started the problem.I was trying to install the firmware V10D, and the KDZ was reporting error, but the tutorial I used said that this was normal error information and that I do not disconnects the phone from the computer until "FINISHED" appears on the KDZ, but I stubbornly and much IDIOT in subject withdraw before the hour and then tried the process again (I THINK THIS BROUGHT ALL THAT PROBLEM).
In another attempt appeared the same error message in KDZ but I wanted to wait and let the process going on the computer and went to the kitchen (I say this just to you know out that might have appeared some warning, but I did not see) when I returned the phone was off, I saw that the KDZ had the phrase "finished" then disconnected the phone, he was ready already "broken" tried and tried but he did not call, I connected the phone to the computer again but no signal, remove battery, I tried to get into "emergency mode", tried the hard reset but it just did not work. Will the process badly done by me blew the motherboard? HELP ME, PLEASE.

It is my first post, and I don't understand to much as people here. I write because I have a problem with my Gionee. My phone was root and with 4.4.2 oficial kit kat ROM (upgrade by recovery). I could have mismanipulated the phone and when I switch it on it appears an error (com.android.systemui), and can't boot. I can't use recovery mode and I tried to do a reset by fast boot, but the phone is not recognised by de computer.
I've tried to repair it using GNQC too, but it appears this message : "The phone ver is different from SW ver". And If I try the emergency download It appear some fails related with "COM port" .
I spent almost all my money in this phone and I'm too worried. Anyone can help me?
Hi all. If anyone could help me out I"d greatly appreciate your time and any advice.
So I got this tablet from my brother, working and all, but Google FRP was on it and he couldn't remember the credentials from when he first set it up. "No worries," I proclaimed like some advanced Android tech, lol, "I'll get it running" First thing, I downloaded the "stock.img" firmware from the only other ONN tablet page. Then SPFLASH tools. Then I plugged in the tablet; holy crap theres instant connection (this is better than ODIN haha). I immediately click the Download tab, load the scatter file, the stock directory, etc and hit "Download" after only a couple of minutes, SUCCESS.
So it reboots.
Oh, wait wait, I did nothing to format the tablet and so I'm just back at FRP.
Back to fastboot.
Open SPFlash Tools and goto format, formal all except bootloader, Start. Now though, as I'm waiting, I look over and my niece is pressing buttons on it, nothing seemed to have happened tho on my PC except I noticed moments before, likely when my niece started pressing buttons out of my view, that the little red bar that normally shows progress turned completely red and filled from 0 to 100 in a split second. I left the device and PC alone, only to get a notification after just a couple of minutes reading:
"ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
[EMI] ENABLE DRAM FAILED!
[HINT]:
Please check your load which matches to your target which is to be downloaded"
**I'm noticing that my PC, for whatever reason, is bouncing between seeing the device as USB Serial COM5 and "MK6***" So when the device bounces is when the connection seems to be losing. I'd be happy to share my output for format if this makes sense to anyone.
The only thing is, I cannot get any screen whatsoever to show up on this tablet. I've tried holding down power, power+vol down, power+vol up+vol down, for up to 30 seconds and yet nothing comes up. It's almost like I don't have a bootloader or anything anymore as the device just kind of seems stuck. Even if I try using the DOWNLOAD tab, I still get the message as above. If I try to do READBACK I get a slightly different message. The READBACK will start and the red bar doesn't fill up instantly but after a couple of minutes I get:
"ERROR : S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (1013)
[COM] FAILED TO OPEN COM PORT
[HINT]:
1.retry a new COM port (tried switching to another USB with no success);
2.retry a new cable;
3.retry a new device;
4.restart the computer and try again.
Am I missing drivers? I communicate with my MOTO on this laptop just fine because of the google usb_driver, but maybe I'm missing a driver? Or maybe the device is bricked in just a tiny instant of someone tapping a button?
Any help would be much appreciate. Thanks a lot!
