For those who can't connect with Kies

celeronix · Sep 5, 2010

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

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.

2 different issues.
MTP crashing on phone is independent from Kies on PC cant detect phone.

onbacardi · Sep 8, 2010

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.

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://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778244
