Kies application

Hi guys, does anybody have problem connecting to samsung kies app? My kies does not recognize my galaxy s when trying by cable or bluetooth,and when connecting by bluetooth I only can choose between win mobile or symbian device.
Anybody could suggest advice? It'd be very thankfull.
Cheers

I hade problems even installing that useless program. Samsung must be ashamed for that "thing". Just dont use it.

Oh I see.
So what is the way of updating official firmware? I realize it's a noob question.

I'm a noob here too
I have learned through reading other posts though so here it is:
You don't need to have Kies recognise your phone to install firmware. You just need to have the drivers for your phone installed. Easiest way to do that is install Kies. It will automaticaly install the drivers. Whether Kies recognises your phone is irrelevant.
You basicaly can find all you need to flash official firmware at h t t p ://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm. There are also instructions on how to do it in the page. I also think there is a thread here with instructions but you will have to search for that yourself
Before you do anything I would suggest reading h t t p ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596&highlight=big+faq
One other thing is that I have not been able to make flashing with Odin work on my Win7 laptop. Thank god I still have WinXP SP3 on my desktop.
And sorry for the web pages not being linked. Noob users like me can't post links

So far no problem connecting for me. I am. Using win 7 ultimate.

Firstly the firmware on Samsung Firmware website is leaked firmware and is not official releases. So some of the firmware can be at a stage less then optimal. Just making sure you have all the facts.
Secondly you might be able to resolve your Kies problem by downloading the latest Kies, installing, connecting to your phone. If no luck then remove your SD card and try again. If no good then format your internal SD drive and try again ensuring you have backed up your data first to the SD card.
This has been found to resolve most Kies issues and enabled people to reconnect with Kies.
Wish you luck with it.

I just tried to install the latest version of Kies at work, wow was that worse than my original Kies install (the version just prior).
I got the same message I read about "no internet connection, try to connect again" or whatever, but I just blew through it and hit retry every time it popped up (probably about 35 times for just 84KB). So, anyways, I'm at 84KB out of 81KB (yes, you read that correct) and this method no longer worked, I had already disabled my firewall because I read something about that a while ago, but that didn't help here. So, giving up I hit "no", well Kies worked fine after that and my phone connected to it...
the install...sucked...tho...

I too had trouble using the latest Kies, just refused to see the phone connected, but I could use mass storage mode with no trouble...
Fix for me was to stop Launcher Pro and re set TWLauncher as default Home, then connect phone to PC and slect Kies mode, this worked a treat and Kies detected my phone straight away?
So If you are using a third party Home app, try using the TWLauncher as default Before connecting to PC...?

I had a lot of problems with Kies before. But after lates upgrade (2-3 days ago) i have 10 on 10 with success. I am on Win 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows XP pro SP3 at work.

I took of adw and kies worked fine for me.

The latest Kies is available as an executable download on the Samsung Firmware Website you only had to download this and install mate.
At least you have a working Kies now.

Yeah I installed kies just yesterday and it took for ages to install it.i I'll try the stuff you guys advised, thank you so much for all the help. I'll let know if i was successful.

Hi All!
I've a strange problem connecting to Kies. When i connect the phone and select kies modus the mtp program tries to initialize and crashes. This happens in a loop and this happens even, when i connect it to plain linux (my windows runs in a VM). ATM i m using Samset 1.9c but it happens with stockjm5, too. any ideas?

Just posted up on the themes and apps page, but basically with windows 7 64 Bit it is terrible, hardly ever connects.
On my 32 bit desktop I can at least connect most of the time, but your constantly having to pull in and out the usb cable.
It crashes, syncing with outlook is buggy and clunky...
This really lets the whole galaxy experience down for me, love the device to bits, but connecting to the PC is a pain

I tried everything
nothing seem to work for me
are there other ways to update the phone? like OTA?

Have you installed the most recent version of Kies.?
Have you removed the SD card form the Galaxy S?
Have you formated your internal SD drive on the Galaxy ensuring you have a backup of your data.?
These steps all seem to fix most problems with Kies. Has for me, has for a lot of people.
Also Kies does not like Debug mode nor does it like Mass storage device so ensure these are off on the phone.

Hey guys.. Kies only work with the default launcher... I don't know why, but the MTP application don't work if you have other launcher (like ADW.Launcher). Try to come back to the original and be sure that you are at home before connect the phone in order to get the MTP Application windows on focus...

deleting ADW and restarted the phone and the pc that was the only way... whats the last firmware? I havent had a firmware update yet:S

Hi
I have no problems connecting to Kies, if i reboot the the phone and then connect.

You don't need to delete ADW... only switch to default launcher..

Kies wont connect to tab.

I have searched and tried a few things I found but with no luck. Makes me think the driver is screwed up. I have the US/Sprint tab if that makes any difference. I keep getting the Error Kies cannot connect and needs to be in PC Studio mode. Thx for any help.

make sure you havent enabled usb debugging mode and left it on

Some times restarting the tab fixes the kies connection problem.

FWIW, I wasted the better part of yesterday trying to get Kies to connect with no luck. Some of the remedies I tried were a utility to locate long file names on the Tab and installing a UK version of Kies.
I believe the general consensus is that for many of us, Kies is a POS. Since I can't get it to connect, I seem to be stymied in my attempt to regain root access until another fix comes along.

Have you used adb? Or odin? I have flashed 5 tabs and never used the kies program.

Have not tried those. Is there a link on how to use? I really want to get my Root back.

"Have you used adb? Or odin? I have flashed 5 tabs and never used the kies program."
Haven't tried adb, although I used it when I originally rooted my MotoDroid. However, I don't recall seeing anything for using it on the SGT.
I have a Sprint Tab, so I thought odin would not work on it.

Please note that the US version of the Tab are not currently supported by the full version of Kies. You can only use the mini version of Kies with the tabs to do firmware upgrades only. Also of note, I can connect and get Kies-mini to recognize my T-Mobile tab, but no firmware upgrades have been made available.

I reset my device to factory settings - so definitely not rooted any more.
Kies is able to detect the device and suggest the firmware upgrade - only to crash thereafter.
In fact I am able to do everything else - sync, browse etc.

can be something wrong with the pc?i can't understand why is happening this

Fairly common problem with multiple posts on the subject probably even a FAQ .
Seems to be many different reasons why Kies fails for some .
jje

i am running an orange romania SIM,the phone was not bought from them, do you think they could help me with the update?

Which version of Kies are you using? Try getting the latest version and run Kies as Administrator.

yeah same problem with me , My phone is i9003 newly purchased and i installed kies new version, I connected my phone it showing new upgrade and i accept that ... it says downloading please wait, once everything done it shows me error
my os is windows 7 64 bit
kies version is 2.0011014_49

i tried all kind of stuff,runding in admin,latest version,compatibility mide tc, nothing works... i really don't get it...

Phone supplier or service centre is where i would go .

i found the "solution".kies has some compatibility issues with win7,i tried it on a PC that was runing xp and worked great,thx everyone for help

MSM8960 Driver Installation Error

Hi there,
I've just downloaded the latest Note 3 leaked software build which I've been anticipatedly waiting for and I've hit a brick wall. I have Kies installed and when the phone is powered on the computer recognises it and can interact with it however when I turn my phone into Download Mode my computer says
MSM8960 Driver couldn't be installed?
Help
I APOLOGISE, WINDOWS UPDATE SETTINGS WERE BLOCKING DRIVER INSTALLATION. PLEASE DELETE.

I Have the same issue with my Galaxy Note 3 on Windows 8.1 using Samsung Kies version 3
I just uninstalled Kies 3 and installed latest 2 version available form samsung.com/kies and it solved the problem.

Hi there, I am sorry, but how did you un-block win driver installation?
I updated Kies3 to the latest release...
I went into system, Windows Updates, change settings, and then ticket all the update boxes...
Now I don't see the error anymore, Kies can see and work on my SM-N9005 Note 3 but Odin stil won't see it!
Any ideas how to fix this?

Forget that... the problem went away by itself after a few reboot of Win7.
It's solved. Thanks

You need to turn off the USB-Debugging option in the Developer-tools/options. After turn off this function the Windows Update found 2 Drivers and install them. After this my Odin v.3.10.6 become cennection to com4 Usb-connector where my S5 was pluckt in.
that way it workt by my galaxy s5

S4 I9506 pc not detecting RNDIS+DM+MODEM for QPST

Hi guys!
I am attempting to use QPST manager to backup my EFS prior to root access because I'm paranoid about modifying without efs backup.
I believe the cause of the problem is that I have downloaded the I9506 new zealand 5.0.1 rom and installed it over the australia 4.4.2 rom, the reason being because USB connection was working before I updated to lollipop. My mum also has a recently purchased I9506 running 4.4.2 which connects to my pc without a problem. I have the latest samsung drivers and even installed kies, which doesn't even recognise my phone and says to install smart switch.
How can I get my pc to connect to the phone with RNDIS+DM+MODEM enabled?
Also, is there any way to get kies to recognise my S4?
Edit: Not sure how or if this may help but in the service mode app accessible from the dialer (*#9090#) my phone says DIAG CONFIG NOT SUPPORTED. How can this be fixed to be supported?
Thanks!
