After half an hour trying I have just found a working solution how to connect your SGS in Kies. Here is the deal:
Start Kies, put phone's USB settings in Kies mode. Connect your phone to the PC. Wait until MTP App show "Connected". Go to your PC's Device manager, find Portable Devices and select Disable on GT-I9000. Do not wait for the disabling process to be completed, just disconnect the USB cable. Now connect the USB cable again, wait the MTP App on the phone to show you the message "Connected" and choose Enable on GT-I9000 in Device Manager. After a few seconds your phone should be ready in Kies
I tried this both on x86 and x64 Windows 7 and it works for me.
I hope this will help! And I hope there isn't another thread with this solution. If there is - I'm sorry
i cant wait to get home and try this... another 10h to go
but if this helps ur a geniues

Will put this in the FAQ if we have some confirmations for its effectiveness
when i first bought my phone it worked with kies, but after flashing it to a different firmware there was nothing i could do to get it to connect. i had deleted drivers, re-installed, etc etc but nothing worked. what ended up working was putting the phone in download mode, plugging in the usb to both phone and pc, then putting the phone into recovery mode, and as soon as the recovery menu popped up my device was recognized and the correct drivers were reinstalled and all was fine again

If you still have this problem, please try my method and tell me if it works
I had issues and I also tried this method. But it didn't help
Last thing I tried was to format the internal SD. That did the trick for me....
The biggest problem with getting the phone to connect to Kies is two fold:
1) MTP application will ONLY launch from the home screen (touchwiz screen). NOT from any app. drawer / launcher screen
2) If USB mode on the phone is set to Ask on Connection, MTP won't launch due to the USB app. being open (see 1) above)
If you set USB to Kies mode and then ensure you are on the home screen of the phone with nothing else running, Kies WILL connect
Also remember the 16+ size extension bug.
So a full wipe on ur I internal sd card is a good solution just make sure u back it up tour hdd
I also did a "Driver recovery" from Kies and it worked after that. Although MTP driver failed to install for me in this case.
Make sure to update to the latest version of Kies ( Now 1.5.1.0074.45 ) as this version seems far more reliable when connecting the phone
I recently discovered that the culprit of Kies continuously trying to connect to phone was caused by wrong MTP driver selected.
Under WinXP
After phone connected in Kies Mode..Go to Device Manager/Portable device..
If you see a device labeled as "MTP xxx or Portable device.." ,wrong MTP driver or older driver has been used..For my case, a Microsoft 2004 MTP driver was selected.
To fix it.
1) Do a manual driver update..for my case ,i let the driver wizard to search automatically..this round, another newer Microsoft driver was found..in fact 2 of them.. after installing the drivers(Microsoft 2006 MTP driver,2 are listed..). .Now Device Manager/Portable device listed "GT-i9000" ,Kies immediately found my phone.
Driver name that worked are "wpdusb.sys" and "wudfrd.sys" found under \windows\System32\drivers\..

You must not understand English. The entire reason I posted a comment was to share how I overcame this issue, so that would mean I no longer have this issue
Probable Fix for Kies
Friends,
I have also faced the same problem (while connecting my SGS via Kies MTP was crashing). It used to work earlier so I started to remove Applications and data in the reverse order of Installation. After I removed "Dolphin Browser HD" and all saved bookmarks it started working.
This may be a probable solution if you also have Installed Dolphin Browser.

India.
2 different issues.
MTP crashing on phone is independent from Kies on PC cant detect phone.
i couldnt use kies either but i wasnt worried as i hardly have free time now..
this was a simple fix and now it workes perfectly for me.
sorry about the late replay.
thanks
I'm glad that it works for you
try this
try #9 on

You might be interested in my little APK (SGS Toolbox). I first created it to have it read the product code from the nv_data file to allow you to check whether it has been modified after a firmware update. But now I added some extra options, of which one is the option to check whether there are new firmware updates available in KIES by issuing the same request KIES does when checking for new firmware. This way you don't have to connect your phone to your computer all the time to check for new updates in KIES. Note: It sends JM1 as the current firmware version to find the latest. I might send the actual phone's firmware version once I figured out how to find it. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778244
Thanks, I'll give it a try
Deleted. Wrong thread.
Ive been trying to root my phone using cf root but when i put my phone into download mode and connect it to the pc odin doesnt recognise it. However, when i reboot my galaxy s one of the bars at the top of odin turns yellow and in the message box it says "Added!!". Ive tried this on 2 different pc's and its still not working.
When i first connected the usb cable to the pc, a message came up saying if i wanted to install the software from a cd, but i dont have one so i couldnt. Then it said that the software couldnt be installed properly. How do i install it properly?

Download the drivers from my signature & install them, make sure you haven't connected the phone while doing so. Restart windows, connect the phone. Windows will install the required drivers, & you are ready to go.
Do i install from setup.exe. Its asking for a password.
Ive extracted it all but i cannot set up.
My windows is 32bit. Can someone please tell me where i can the samsung usb 32 bit drivers please?
Ive managed to get the 32 bit drivers and it says that samsung usb modem and the samsung usb android composite device are ready to use. However, it says that no driver was found for the ethernet controller.

I tried it on 4 diferent PC's, with diferent windows, with latest software and drivers. Any idea what to do? And how can i find SEUS to instal it? I know that there is similar treads but not for this phone. Bad english, sorry.

hi everyone
I'm facing the same problem, my computer can't identify x2 when I connect it "windows 7 ultimate 32 bit"
it gave me unknown device when I opened the device manager and windows update can't find the device drivers.
what should I do to let it recognize my device in order to complete the update
by the way , my phone is not usable now , it is just hang on windows logo when I switch it on and removing the battery the only way to switch it off
I really need your help guys, I have been trying SEUS for more than week
I have here an sch-i800 that wont turn on... Someone tried to update it with odin and obviously failed... Anyway the only sign of life I get is when I hook up to pc it tries to install the drivers for boot loader I am assuming and fails. I have been looking around for solutions but find nothing. If youre gonna scold me for not googling dont because I have. Just wondering if someone knows something that google doesnt. I can see the tablet in device manager as SEC_S5PC110_TEST_B_D_DRIVER. Please any help would be appreciated.
does your computer have the samsung usb drivers installed?
have you tried booting into download mode and use odin to flash the correct firmware needed by your device?
As hinirang said, the device drivers could be an issue - I found that installing Samsung Kies automatically installs the appropriate device drivers. A good idea would be to kill the Kies process before connecting via Odin, though.
Try re-installing the driver as they might be corrupted but behaving as they are all right!!
Hi,
I tried flashing the new v11 firmware via Odin. Unfortunately, i didnt work (i come from v10). Now i get that error message , that i´d have to use Smart Switch soft on PC to do an emergency recovery. Unfortunately it seems to find it (some usb plug in sounds appears in windows) but the device can´t be found. Whats the take here ?
The USB drivers seem to be installed fine. Thanks in advantage!
