I'm new at this, but I've successfully downloaded Kies(the Samsung PC interface for Galaxy) and installed it. However, it fails to launch. I've downloaded twice and reinstalled, but still doesn't work.
Error message "The Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application"
What's up with that? Anybody can help please?
Think is relies on .net framework is yours installed and upto date?

It needs .net 3.5 installed. I never got it to work on my Windows XP at work, but it works on my windows 7 at home. It's a pain, I seems to have to install the 64bit drivers everytime I need to use.
Oh..how do I get an update of .net framework on my XP? It doesn't prompt for that?
*Facepalm*
Ever heard of windowsupdate.com?
Firmware update
Thanks all...I've managed to install Kies. Now it says there's a firmware my Galaxy needs updating, but as I go down the procedure, it says it cannot update as it needs 1000Mb space...my phone still has 1.6G available..what's happening? In any case, this Kies sucks BIG TIME!!

Hi!
I have a problem... the ActiveSync 4.1 install program says that I need to have the latest service pack installed, but I don't have it... Is there a way to somehow install it without having SP2?
EDIT: This problem is already solved, but I have another one... look at my next post here
I've run AS 4.1 on XP SP1 with no problems. Currently running AS 4.2 beta on XP SP1 again with no issues.
I just ran the install, it did'nt report anything back.
I suggest you update XP with the custom option.
ok, I installed ActiveSync 4.2 by using the Windows 2000 compatibility mode
But now I have another problem It doesn't see my MDA Pro... when I connect my MDA, it's recognized as a Windows Mobile device, but it asks me for some drivers which I don't have. So I don't install any drivers, and AS doesn't see it....
EDIT:
I tried uninstalling AS, and installing AS 4.1, and it still doesn't work. It asks me for a driver, and when I tell him to install it automatically, here's what it says (I have a Polish version of Windows, but I'll try to translate the error message to English):
Can't install hardware
An error occurred when installing this hardware:
Windows Mobile-based Device
An error occurred when installing this device.
There's no required entry in the driver installation file. The reason can be that the INF file was written for Windows 95 or newer system. Contact your hardware vendor.

I had the same problem under Windows 7 64bit. Solved it by installing Windows Mobile Device Center, don't ask me why :-(
Thank you for replies. I have tried to reinstall MDC but that doesn't seemed to help solve the problem...
Still cannot use Kies.. sigh..
Solved
Kies require Windows Mobile Device Center on newer Windows, activesync on older Windows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have just purchased Galaxy S.
Installed Kies on windows 7 64 bit, kies doesn't start/work at all. It remain at splash screen. When open task manager I found the splash process and form1.
It is a big delusion
Samsung make software only for 32bit?? How to sync 232 contacts from iphone without outlook??
Samsung, sigh ..
Regards
Thanks for the hints everyone.
My 'mainstage' problem seemed to have been solve with reinstallation of the latest Kies from samsung which I have just downloaded. That being said, kies open and run fine, but I am back to the same old problem unable to connecting my phone to kies. This software is really a POS.
My system is Window 7 64Bit home professional.
Also just to note, I notice that kies requires .net framework for window xp and vista. To be safe.. and it might be totally unrelated... I enabled the Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1 on window 7 when I reinstalled the new version of kies.
Yes, and do not forget Windows Mobile Device Center on newer Windows, activesync on older Windows.
Regards
Thanks
Last note really.
Today the in a last ditch efforts to connect Kies due to upgrade from JF4 to JG4 over kies, I have finally decided to format my internal SDcard.
Kies was able to connect to my phone after several reboot attempt of my computer and telephone. Upgrading to JG4 seemed to have no problem connecting to Kies so far. However, I have my doubt that after installing several programs the problem will probably pop back up again.
Cheers Everyone

Kies Mainstage Still Not Working
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and using different versions and Kies Mainstage still does not allow Kies to start up.
I've installed Mobile Device Manager and still nothing.
Seems as though Samsung exec's opted for a slick, pretty GUI without consideration to actual functionality!
At this rate, I will never be able to upgrade to froyo 2.2 unless someone writes an install package that works.
frustrated.

I had similar problems running Kies on Win 7 x64. What I did was do a fresh install of the updated Kies version 103_100_2 (from Samsung UK site), ie. uninstall old Kies and remove any lingering directories first. Then Uninstall the Samsung USB drivers installed with Kies. Then install the x64 bit drivers for Samsung mobile devices. Worked a treat.
You can get the x64 bit drivers from Softpedia website
cheers
Having the same problem. It's infuriating.
Kies was working fine until about a month ago and now I cannot open it. Have followed the advice given in this thread but no luck in getting it to start.
Running Windows Vista 32 Bit
mainstage not working
I have vista 32bit
I reinstalled the latest version of kies it still didn't work so I then installed .NET framework 4 and that seems to have solved the problem.
hope this helps for all you vista 32 bit operators that have the mainstage problem.
took me two hours to work out but seemed to correct the problem by downloading the 4.0 version of .netframework.
kies seems to be working now
let me no if this helps

Fix for XP:
I had exactly the same problem on my XP Netbook and solved as follows:
Uninstall Kies
Uninstall Samsung Modem for Mobile Phones
Uninstall Microsoft Silverlight
Uninstall Microsoft Silverlight SDK
Reboot
Install Kies
Hope this helps.
A.
PS Reasoning behind this is if you look at the error log file that the crash produces and is about to send to Microsoft then you see that the exception occurred in XamlParse... Xaml is the xml language used by Silverlight and WPF.
PPS Samsung get your act together and write software that works properly.
PPPS Samsung give us a way to update your phones without having to use the piece of cr*p you call Kies.
Hi everybody!
Completely new to Android so please have a little patience...
I am having a lot of trouble with this piece of c**p software - Kies! I installed it on my XP SP3 laptop without any trouble but when I start it the program tells me that I need to install .NET Framework 2.0? I have already installed 4.0 and removed all previous versions before that so that sounds kinda strange to me... Well okay I uninstall 4.0 and install 2.0 SP1 instead - When I start the program then it tells me that it failed to launch main stage! Okay I uninstall 2.0 and install 3.5 instead just to give it a go... But nope still nothing!
Now I am getting frustrated so I uninstall .NET framework completely and uninstall Kies. Then I install Kies again without Framework and it aparently tries to install it by itself... Only to give me the error that the file "xnet_framework_3.5" is not a Win32 file?! WT*?!! :S
When that didn't work either I tried to install ALL the .NET framework's and Kies again - One by one! So 2.0 + Kies, no result - Uninstall all! Then 3.0 + Kies, no result - Uninstall! ...And so on! I have also tried to have ALL the .NET applications installed at the same time and then install Kies - Still no luck!! :'(
What am I missing here guys? I would really like to use this software since it looks like it has a lot of neat options... But I can't get it to work! Have tried for 3 days now and the only option I see left is a reformat of my hdd... And I don't wanna go down that road

I think the issue is in your machine man.. Try install and sync it in your friends machine..
So now that I upgraded to 8.1, my SGS4 no longer connects to the computer. Under Device Manager I can see the MTP listed with an exclamation mark. The error is:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

Try deleting your preinstalled drivers restart and let windows reinstall them for you.

Well it sure helped me. Thanks willdmo!:good:
Just today I installed Windows 8.1 N pro x64, the "N" versions means it excludes windows media player (I never use that **** anyway).
It's quite ironical that I ended up installing it anyway... damn you microsoft.
The update is called "Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1" < if you search that you'll find the download page, I don't have privilege to post links here.
My problem was just as everyone else's here - my Motorola Razr M XT907 did show up as unrecognized MTP in device manager.
After applying that "pack" and rebooting, it works normally.
F you microsoft.

F*** Microsoft.
Just learned that after installing windows 8.1 and kit Kat.. It will not recognize my phone... I have everything setup properly. Do not manually install
The drivers... It caused my phone to wipe every time I powered off. Which meant having to re flash all over again... Reflashed stock. I'm not sure. But maybe with kit Kat you need nexus 5 drivers...

+1.
I tried latest Samsung usb drivers from XDA post. It doesn't work (erratic bebavior mounting/unmounting drive repeatedely)
Edit: Finally I succeeded in mounting internal SD to PC on windows 8.1. Just to share my own experience:
- I installed Samsung USB drivers v1.5.15.0. (not sure it is very important to get this version rather than the last one 1.5.29.0) and rebooted
- And I changed my data cable (for the same model, but appeared to work better)
- when I plug the 'good' cable it opens immediately the SD card in explorer
- when I replace cable with former one, back to errativ behavior.

Enabling USB Debug Mode solved my problem.
I solved my problem by flashing the latest german 4.3 rom now it works like a charm.
I also had blocked some some unnecessary system apps, which was considered safe to disable - using BootManager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432359
And also some apps samsung apps were greenified
After I had all the system apps re-authorized, and had updated to 4.3, it went smoothly.
I hope this can help someone who just forgot to re-enable some "important" apps

I did see this message when you replied, It was 2am hence the lack of immediate reply.
I did check the Event logs.... then got into a 3 hour fight with .net frameworks and Visual C++ redistributables
The ****ing PC won. Uninstalled and reinstalled .net and the vc++ stuff and tried some other random fixes I saw on various forums but nothing worked so I ended up just flattening my hard drive and starting from scratch.
I think I can trace it back to when I originally installed Windows last year and was using Powershell to disable various "features" and telemetry stuff. I've had ongoing issues with UWP apps and other random software since then and I think it's all related. None of it was a big deal though so I just ignored it.
Luckily it only took about 70 mins to install and configure the OS and all my important applications.
Really wanted to get Dex running and I am happy that it now works, loads better than the Your Phone application imo.
Apologies to anyone who finds this thread in the future hoping that I found an actual fix
