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

Yes it did solve my issues after battling with kies for all these days to get that official update. Although it just succeeded with the update only via Win7 not from my XP with sp3

well i know this is a little late, but i found the solution.. i tired like five times.. gave me the same problem.. after that i just factory resetted my phone from the privacy settings, erasing everything on my phone. after that i tried, and the upgrade worked... hope this helps.

[GUIDE] Samsung Galaxy S7 Active (G891A) FRP Bypass Method Using Odin

This is the entire process needed to remove FRP protection from your AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Active (G891A). Tested and working on Android 7.0 (2/26/18)​
Summary​ This process involves using a modified version of Odin to flash an unlocked bootloader. With the unlocked bootloader you can gain adb permissions and use adb commands to wipe the files that store the FRP credentials. After wiping the credentials, you will flash your device back to the original stock 7.0 firmware. This does not root your device. This does not trip knox.
Process​The Download is 2GB. It will take a few minutes to download. This is necessary because it contains all the original firmware to return your phone to stock.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 1: Download the files and open the modified Odin.exe
Step 2: Hold the Power, Home, and Volume Down buttons until your phone shows a green screen. Then release those buttons and press the volume up button to place your device in download mode. Once your phone is in download mode, connect it via usb to your computer running Odin. The COM port box in Odin should turn blue indicating a successful connection.
Step 3: In Odin click the AP button and open the file AP_G891A_7.0_eng_boot.tar. Ensure that the checkbox beside the AP button is checked and then click start. Give the program a few minutes to execute. Your phone will reboot when flashing is complete.
Step 4: Once your phone is rebooted, you should now be able to connect to it via ADB. I have created a simple .bat file to automatically do this for you. With your phone running, double click on Step4.bat and allow it to run for a minute or so. Pay attention to the window and ensure that it is making a connection. If the window continues to show "No Devices Found" then you need to repeat steps 2 and 3. If you were successful in running the .bat program then reboot your phone like normal and now you should be able to enter a new email account on the setup screen as if the phone is new. ***DO NOT STOP HERE***
Step 5: Hold the Power, Home, and Volume Down buttons until your phone shows a green screen. Then release those buttons and press the volume up button one to place your device in download mode. Once you are in download mode again, connect your device to the computer if you unplugged it previously. Ensure that Odin detects your device.
Step 6: Now you need to reflash the stock 7.0 firmware. With Odin open and your phone connected, click the BL button in Odin and navigate to the S7 Active Stock Firmware folder in the package you downloaded. In this folder are the stock files that correspond to the buttons in Odin. Put the BL, AP, CP, and CSC files in their respective places and click start. Don't be alarmed if Odin stops responding for a minute or two while loading the files. The AP file is rather large.
Once this finishes and your phone reboots you will have a stock FRP unlocked S7 Active just like it was brand new.
Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk. I broke down the instructions as basic as I could, but you should have general Rom flashing knowledge / experience prior to doing this.

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much.

Phone gets stuck at boot after step 3
Edit : Fixed by flashing stock rom first then flashing the modified bootloader. Working great now with frp removed thanks again

so wait... something like this opens the bootloader to flash custom roms and twrp?
that'll brake knox for sure... but it is possible now? can we take S7/s7 edge roms and teak em to use active button?

Flash stock rom first in step 4 then begin at step 1 again because the modified bootloader isn't compatible with the version of android that's currently on your device

i have a Verizon (well straight talk) smg930vl which im told is factory sim unlocked, planning to use att sim.
you think your process will work for my phone? ( att software on Verizon phone?)and for that matter s7 vs s7 active. or should i use the modded bootloader to get passed frp then flash stock Verizon?

No that is not what this is. You will have to get the unlock code from verizon, even then it will be limited on what it can use on the att network. like no wifi calling or RCS

binary error
Never mind I fixed the binary error. However when I load up all the bl ap cp csc etc, odin gets stuck at file analysis

Hey mate , which stock did You use , and what does the second part meant ?

So, if this unlocks the bootloader, could I flash a custom rom to it now?

This worked like a charm. Thank you so much.
brs

Anyone have any info on how to bypass the FRP on SM-G930T variant, running G930TUVS4BRC1 (latest patch)?
will this work for my particular model and patch?

Work perfectly. Big Thank you!!!!!

Watching the screen for step 4, I keep seeing a message that says no space left on this device and the program keeps running over and over. Ideas?

password
its asking me for a password....

how long should the bat4 take to run?

I got the first 4 steps but when I try to actually flash the rom I get FAIL!(Auth) and on the phone it says "SW REV check fail: [aboot]Fused 3 > binary 2" Is there anyway to fix this? TIA

hi will this work with my s7 active being on oreo or is this only for nougat? G891AUCU3CRD6

Help with invalid IMEI fater rebooting phone?

Hey guys, I'm trying to fix an lg spirit (h440n)
The phone ran out of battery, and later when I charged it and rebooted, I couldn't get any service, and later realized that the IMEI is now invalid and is listen as "unknown" (as well as a couple of other things). Also, for whatever reason the phone takes a much longer time to boot up.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could assist me with restoring the IMEI.
So far I tried doing a factory reset, which didn't help at all (and now for whatever reason the youtube app appears as a generic android icon with the name com.google.android.youtube...etc.)
I do still have the original IMEI cause i saved the box from the phone.
By the way, I'm on android 6.0

Hi,
so I tried doing that, but I keep running into several errors:
1) If I try doing a normal flash using a stock v20b ROM (android 6.0), the flashing software gives me an error saying "Problem with communication between cell phone and PC". It has some instructions on what to do to restart the flashing process, but it still doesn't work for me even if I do them
2) Flashing the v20b ROM with with the CSE flash method, I get an error on the program saying "Required info cannot be found. Contact the system administrator.."
3) Flashing a 10i ROM (android 5) with the CSE method, the flashing process goes to about 9% on the PC, then my phone reboots and for a split second displays an error with all red letters saying "Boot verification Fail!! cause : DIFFERENT_HASH", and after that the phone reboots as normal and the flashing process is once again failed.
I honestly don't understand where the problem is... I hope it's still possible to solve

If the above method doesn't work then try to flash lollipop rom with LG UP software as it is possible that the lg support tool could be having trouble flashing the rom.
Also please post a screenshot of the issue.

Seems like the method you sent me in the link requires for my LG to be rooted, which I don't think I'll be able to do - none of the one click root methods worked cause android 6.0 seems to have fixed the exploit those programs use, and doing it manually might also be troublesome cause I can't get the download mode to work with the phone.(Like I mentioned, the error "Boot verification Fail!! cause : DIFFERENT_HASH"). Sorry, I'm not able to post an image of the error cause I'm still a new user on the forums...
So I think LGUP might be my only hope at this point, but I can't get it to recognize my phone. It just shows up as an unknown device and I can't proceed with the flashing process

Hey guys, I'm trying to fix an lg spirit (h440n)
The phone ran out of battery, and later when I charged it and rebooted, I couldn't get any service, and later realized that the IMEI is now invalid and is listen as "unknown" (as well as a couple of other things). Also, for whatever reason the phone takes a much longer time to boot up.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could assist me with restoring the IMEI.
So far I tried doing a factory reset, which didn't help at all (and now for whatever reason the youtube app appears as a generic android icon with the name com.google.android.youtube...etc.)
I do still have the original IMEI cause i saved the box from the phone.
By the way, I'm on android 6.0

Go to this link:
https://lg-kdz-firmware.com/check-your-firmware.html
Open your phone from the back and remove the battery, then you will find the IMEI, write it on that site that i put a link to and you can find the right firmware for your phone, download it, download lg drivers (search on google for them) and install them, then try flashing with LG Flash Tool 2014, and make settings to be like this:
Select Type: CDMA,
PhoneMode: CS_EMERGENCY
and flash with CSE Flash.
To go in download mode turn off your phone and hold the volume down button while holding enter the usb cable in to the phone but it should previously be connected to the pc, hold volume down button until you sea a screen that shows you that you are in download mode than start the tool from your pc and flash the firmware.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I can't get my phone into download mode, the phone displays an error: "Boot verification Fail!! cause : DIFFERENT_HASH", and just reboots like normal and the flashing process ends up failing... I guess the download mode on my phone is somehow broken, though I can't find any way to fix it

To enter download mode phone must be turned off then press and hold vol. Up button then plug in the usb cable. It is not the volume down button.
If Lg Up recognizes your phone as unknown device that's normal as it has happened to me as well. See if you can enter in download mode with keys, if you can't, just keep your phone booted into rom then start flashing lollipop kdz and your phone should automatically boot into download mode.

On my LG Spirit 4G LTE h440n is the volume down button. The volume up is to go into the bootloader.

In LGUP when my phone shows up as "unknown", I can't do the flashing process cause the program just says "You have to select a known model, please."

And about download mode, I know how to get into it, and it is indeed volume up+usb, but like I said, when I enter download mode it just displays that error message about boot verification failed, and the phone just reboots as normal. I thought maybe I'm not explaining it well enough so instead I filmed a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APlsn5gVvzw&feature=youtu.be

Sorry then as i can't think of anything else. If your phone is still under warranty period you can always send it to service center.

Ahh that's too bad. Well, thank you for your help either way! Sadly, the phone isn't covered by warranty anymore..
I think my best bet is to make the download mode work correctly. I guess I will have to keep searching

I have an LG Spirit 4G (H440n) that lost its IMEI a month ago after shutting down because of a drained battery. After turning it on, the SIM card never got read and the IMEI was unknown. Following a lot of hurdles to reflash a .kdz from download mode I managed to flash a MM firmware and the phone rebooted with its IMEI intact. Then, after a while the phone shut down with a drained battery and the same thing happened. I reflashed and fixed it.
After that... Yeah, the phone shut down after a battery drain and now it doesn't have its IMEI again. Is there any way to restore it and keep there for good without reflashing the whole device from download mode? What could be causing? Should I watch out for the battery forever now?

Wow this really is strange. Just to be clear, this phone I was trying to fix was being used by my dad, not me, and he also said the problems started happening after his battery got drained. Unlike you, however, I never managed to even flash a stock ROM to the phone, cause for me the download mode still doesn't work.
Any LG gurus out there know what's going on with these phones?

I can't post links on threads but i found a video, not sure if it helps or if it works but you got nothing to lose, PM me and i'll send you the link.

[SOLVED] Bricked after an UPDATE or HARD RESET (can not get into recovery mode)

UPDATE: The issue was resolved and here is the [SOLUTION]​first of all lets start with the problem, it doesn't matter if it's just hard reset loop or update loop problem, I actually did both, here's a thing this main issue comes with updates but somehow this time recovery mode was completely destroyed, so there is no escape you can only access fastboot which is a good thing in a way, follow the steps to unbrick your phone.
-if you can access recovery mode just download modified miflashpro and flash downloaded rom using it.
REQUIRMENTS: PC,USB CABLE,INTERNET CONNECTION.
SOLUTION:​1. Install ADB on your PC with all the necessary drivers for your phone
2. Turn off your phone completely, press and hold volume down and power button together to go into fastboot mode
3. once you are in fastboot mode connect usb to phone and open cmd from adb directory and type in: fastboot devices (if device serial number is shown in fastboot mode everything is good so far... if not go to DEVICE MANAGER in your pc and check if driver is installed properly if anything ADB drivers and ANDROID USB drivers will come handy to install them manually)
4. now type in: fastboot continue
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. your device will boot into system if it fails try going into fastboot mode and going with fastboot continue command again try until it boot ups into safe mode
6. eventually it will boot into safe mode system without your files being touched because nor update nor hard reset was completed fully, phone will be in airplane mode.
7. DO NOT TURN ON WIFI OR MOBILE DATA it will crash your phone, if your phone storage is full remove some stuff plus the apps.
8. Turn on USB DEBUGGING,OEM UNLOCK MODE. open file transfers and download apk of MIUI updater from pc to your phone ( LATEST VERSION ) and install it.
9. now DEACTIVATE AIRPLANE MODE and turn on WIFI FROM SETTINGS
10. once you got internet connection wait a little bit for all of the notifications and stuff to pop up be careful, once it's all good go to settings about phone and system update and CHECK FOR UPDATES
11. let your phone download the update it should be around 1.7GB depends honestly let it decrypt and once you are ready click on INSTALL NOW.
12. it will take time to install and reboot will happen many time you might think that it gets stuck at 90.49% but let it finish be patient it happens it just needs time, once everything is done you are good to go
WELCOME TO MIUI 12
SIDE NOTE:
I - MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CHARGED
II - I DID TRY EDL TEST POINTS BUT YOU DO NOT NEED TO OPEN UP YOUR PHONE NOR TO DO IT.
III - BE PATIENT

F
Unless you're willing to do a test point boot, take it to a Xiaomi service center, take a receipt with you or some proof of purchase.
You can try buying an EDL cable and testing your luck, I highly doubt tho since Xiaomi locks it's EDL mode.

got good news I managed to actually get in the system
using fastboot continue command it lags as hell but usb debugging is on
so from the looks of it recovery is gone
I am in phone adb devices are visible
anything that you might suggest ?

it took me three times to do this but it finally managed to do something

I think it's safe mode and this is why it's not crashing yet

anyways phone is on and going well charging but is in airplane mode trying to flash rom using miflash but not working... recovery is most likely gone... any ideas guys what to do?

Update:turning wifi makes it crash
UPDATE II: WHATEVER HAPPENS DO NOT TURN ON WIFI IT WILL CRASH AND KEEP ON CRASHING UNTIL YOU GET LUCKY AND TURN IT OFF YOURSELF
UPDATE THREE: I NEED A WAY TO FLASH RECOVERY WITHOUT FASTBOOT AND BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED

You said your device is locked? If it's unlocked try flashing TWRP, and flashing a different ROM so this doesn't happen again.
Careful of rollback index when trying to flash a MIUI ROM so it doesn't cause a hardbrick.

If i somehow manage to get into recovery even if I will be able to install it I will flash rom and it's over

You can't force flash TWRP. You'll have to wait those days with MI Unlock, that's the only way.
There is this thread about an unofficial method of unlocking, I didn't bother looking tbh since I'm very sure you can't unlock it unofficially, but if you do find something then do it on your own risk.

good news managed to get wifi to work now trying to download update from the phone it's slowly going lets see if it installs safely this time boyz will update

gotta admit was a rough one

Well that's good, I've never heard a Xiaomi update bricking a phone except MI A3 recent Android 11 update. So most likely it will work fine. Make sure you have enough charge in the battery.
Gotta ask, how did you fix it? Did you do a test point?

well it's not over yet my dude,lets see how it's going to update this one hopefully everything will work fine
well I did had to use test points for nothing lmao, plus tweaking with right drivers from device manager and stuff...
well lets hope it works out... it was a nightmare bud

Well I know I'd want a way out of this fast, so if you're still looking for a way to flash another ROM I think Hydra tool can unlock bootloader through EDL mode.
