Help Samsung Galaxy S not recognised by Kies software on my Windows 7 64 bit PC

[onearmgeek]

As a reminder, you need to go to Settings > Applications > USB settings > Choose Samsung Kies. Then, plug in your USB cord.

I'm running it on Windows 7 32bit (laptop) and 64bit (home), both work. Be a little patient and let it install/configure itself.

I hope this helps.

I have tried on XP 32bit and Windows 7 64 bit systems and all I can do is connect in 'mass storage' no luck with Kies at all.
I'm not really concerned about this but will I need Kies to update to Froyo?

 

[onearmgeek]

Another thing to check is the version.

Kies_1.5.1.10074_2_6.exe
I can verify that this version works with Windows 7 32-bit & 64-bit.

Download the latest Samsung Kies Version 1.5.1 (Release Date 18, August 2010)

It doesn't work for me - still won't connect via Kies. Win7 64. It was working when I had some samsung USB driver for mobiles installed but I deleted that because I thought it was screwing up my attempts to update the phone to the JM1 firmware - this is another problem I'm having with this phone, as far as I'm aware there is a new JM1 firmware which is meant to fix the lag issue and improve the gps/wi-fi; when I had the dam thing working with Kies (using the samsung mobile driver) it just kept telling me my firmware was the latest one - It's running on JF3 at the moment. It's an unbranded unlocked handset.

I haven't done any of the internal sd card wipe stuff etc but I really don't want to because I have all my contacts and accounts set up on it now.

I'm starting to hate this phone - the Kies software is beyond crap and it seems I can upgrade the phone to fix some of the issues it has (only I can't because when I try to it tells me I have the latest version).

This is beyond a joke Samsung.

Hi,
Having all the above problems. I cannot clear my SD card, it has lots of stuff I need. I cannot believe that this blerdy phone has been released without Samsung realising that a lots of people run Windows 7 64. Just sold my iPhone, I wish I had kept it now and got rid of this useless junk.

My feelings exactly. I'm longing to have my iPhone 3G back after the carry on I've had with this.

Got a tip from a youtube flick to turn off any app launcher running. i'm running Launcher Pro, and when turning that off and connecting my Galaxy S to usb, selecting Kies Mode, and violla!!! Kies recognized my phone. I'm running Kies 1.5.1.10074_45.

I tried to connect my Galaxy S with Kies software open on my laptop. I get an error message saying device not supported. Anyone know how to get it to work?

Hi

After two days trying connect my 2 PCs (w7 64 and WXP SP2, both system on Mac bootcamp) unexpectetdly a problem was sold on WXP. My i9000 from Hungary (factory neverlocked), so i download a Kies from samsung.hu - this desigion i was told in my local samsung service (in Russia) Also it was old version (1/5/1) it synchro well, not as newest 1/5/4 wich i tried before.

It is difficult to say If may desigion is universal. In addition I have done: 1) reject to autoupdate kies 1.5.1 to 1.5.4 - the system ask about updating when to start 2) as was written higher some post I unmount and erase external SD and unmount (not erase) internal SD, then reboot phone before connection to usb

I understand, that post is about W7 64 - but I think the general way to desigion is using old kies. I recomend to combinate different ways to solve synchro problem not depending on operation system. Shame on Samsung for such trouble making syncronization for 600 USD gadget.



I hope the post will be usefull

The traditional computer solution seems to work for me - switch the phone off and then back on again.
let it run through it's start-up process which includes scanning the Internal memory
connect via usb cable et voila!

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and I absolutely love it. However I hate Kies. I have been having issues with connecting the phone via USB. After installing Kies, the first time the phone successfully connected and I was able to transfer some music to the phone.

However when I tried to connect the phone a second time I got an error on the phone that the MTP application had crashed and I was forced to close it. After which the phone's screen would flash between the home screen and the MTP application, similar to the following video on Youtube:
YouTube - Samsung Galaxy S PC connecting problem with Samsung Kies

I contacted Samsung support on this issue. They immediately responded back and said that if I was running Windows XP and Media Player 11, I needed to follow some steps to remove Media Player 11. I have attached the instructions to this post

Unfortunately for me I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I responded back with this information and they confirmed that the only work around is to format the internal SD memory card before connecting to the PC. They are working on a firmware update to resolve this issue.

So to connect I have had to do the following:

1. Go to Settings and select the SD Memory option
2. Unmount the internal SD card
3. Format the internal SD card
4. Connect the phone to the PC

Hope this helps people

Your info sucks, I basically deleted everything on my sd card and it still doesnt work so i lost all my saved stuff. thanks

This is what it was, thanks a lot man. All of the people posting useless info like deleting your memory card are plain brainless.

I don't know if this will help any of you guys having trouble with kies, but whilst trying to help another member get kies installed on his vista PC, the following errors came up. see pics

Error 1. o2007pia.msi
2007 Microsoft Office System Update: Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies.

Error 2. vstor30.exe.
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System.

Error 3.
as error 2 but a service pack.

You also need to have Microsoft.Net framework installed and .Net framework service pack 1.

I have checked my PC running Windows 7 and these are all installed and I don't have any problems with kies

Hope it helps

HI All

thought i would share this:

two things you need to do: first disconnect your phone, go into settings and sd storage settings then dismount the internal SD and then format it - yes thats right format it

then you need to mount it back and do a factory reset

once this is complete, keep your phone disconnected return to the kies software. in the top left click the logo and there is an option that says "driver recovery" - click this - and then close kies

reconnect the phone and it all works (well it did for me)

What a ****ing champion you are....i was messing about wiuth this phone for the last two days trying to get it to work and then stumbled on your post...and low and behold the bloody thing works...thanks brother...can you offer any suggestions as to why this method solved the problem?

I had tried connecting several times and nothing....phone would not be rcognized...i think the key in this is clicking the kies logo for the driver update.

Anyways thanks again bud

 

[kindofblue]

I have found that if I have Kies running when I plug in the phone is just says connecting but never does. SO I plug in the phone, let it connect as a USB device and then run Kies... all good.

I've run into the same problem and your solution worked (at least on my XP Pro PC). Thanks! I spent ~4 hrs off and on trying to figure this out.

The bigger issue for me now is how buggy Kies is. Does anyone have an alternative for downloading their mp3s onto the phone? Thanks in advance for suggestions

 

[bu995]

YES....

I downloaded the newest version of Kies and voila - I could connect

 

[mikedt]

This is what it was, thanks a lot man. All of the people posting useless info like deleting your memory card are plain brainless.

This is why we backup all of our important, priceless and cherished documents, photos, musics and videos.

Backup, backup, backup !!

Hi

I basically had the same problem, its caused by drivers not working properly for W7 64bit. There is a work around, but it will require you to get a memory card, at least this solves it for me. This is what I did.

1. Connected phone = no result, computer does not recognize unit.
2. Inserted micro SDHC card.
3. Connect phone.
4. Mount SD card through notifications menu.
5. At this point my computer finds the phone, drivers load etc.
6. Dismount card.
7. Unplug phone.
8. Plug in phone, choose KIES from menu (set USB connection to ask in settings)
9. Kies should now find phone.

If along the way, Kies does not find your phone again, follow steps 3-9 again.

If you don't want to get a SD-card you will have to wait until Samsung decides to update Kies to include WIndows 7 64-bit.

This doesn't work. It still forces the computer to try to install the drivers when you select samsh!t kies. The computer tries and tries without success.

Have u tried removing all un-need usb devices and pluging the phone into a different usb port incase all com ports are used up. Also running with minimal apps runing incase of a conflict.

Hello,

Im not sure why or how this worked, but it did for me. I had no real trouble running kies on my laptop which is on xp, but i could not connect my vibrant on my work computer which is running windows 7. I tried a lot of the solutions listed online and nothing worked...except this:

Re: KIES will not work with my Vibrant - T-Mobile Community (last reply on this page)

For some reason this worked, and it installed some drivers that were apparently missing, and now kies is recognizing my phone no problem, and my computer is also reading my phone as a usb device ala mass storage.

I hope this works for others (and keeps working for me)

For me the solution was extremely simple to implement and crazily frustrating to find. I run LauncherPro and iHome (fab animations) as alternative launchers on my Galaxy S. Until I switched the launcher back to TouchWiz, Kies would not talk to my phone, When I did switch back the phone connected right away and it's been like that ever since. So if you are using an 'option' launcher, THAT'S your problem!

 

[lane87]

"in a nutshell, Kies seems to have a MEMORY MANAGEMENT PROBLEM. If you Un Mount and pull the SD card (probably don't have to PULL it ...) Kies will work fine."

Two weeks it took for me to get Kies working reliably and syncing with outlook. Using win7 64 bit. Finally, I just had to unmount (and more importantly...LEAVE IT UNMOUNTED) and then connect usb in Kies mode. Tethering is even working. If I want acces to the sd card for file transfers I usb connect in mass storage mode and not use kies. I hope this helps others.

I had the same problems as you guys have.

To solve the problem, I crated backup of all my files, concatcs etc.

To solve the problems do those few steps:

1. Backup all your content, contacts, files etc
2. Disconnect you phone from PC
3. Uninstall the Kies
4. Format your phone
5. Install the Kies again
6. Restart your phone
7. Finaly, connect your phone to Kies, all problems should be solved now.
