It works, though not made for the Captivate. Here's how to get it:
First, you will need to get .NET 4 Framework from Microsoft and install that. You will need to restart your computer after installing, so be prepared.
Go to samsungapps.com or it should be the first search link when searching for Samsung Kies using Google.
It will tell you that it's not available for the US.
Click the "Applications" tab in the upper right part of the screen.
Click "See all Countries"
Click on "Europe" then select "United Kingdom" (I did this just to make sure that whatever follows would be in English, but it may not matter)
At the bottom-center there will be a link "Download Kies" Save or Run the .exe
During installation, it will ask you what language you want. You can choose US at that point.
Phone wouldn't connect at first. I closed the program, disconnected the USB cable, then reconnected the USB cable and Windows started installing drivers. After that, I reopened Kies, selected Samsung Kies on the phone when prompted for USB connection type, and it started establishing connection with the phone. It will then show the phone's model number and your wireless phone number.
If you're having trouble after the drivers are installed, just make sure that the "MTP Application" with USB connector symbol is displayed on the phones screen. It Kies should recognize the phone and connect automatically after that.
It has a few useful features, but isn't the best phone assisting software I've used.
Thanks for this. I just wish I had it before I spent so much time getting my Outlook contacts on my phone.
I installed and ran the program before connecting my phone. When I did connect, it recognized it right away.
What kind of system did you do this on? I tried it a couple of days ago, but my 64 bit Win 7 system had no love for the Samsung MTP USB drivers.
XP, sp3
Someone posted on another topic that they had to update the .NET framework and some other stuff to get it to work on 7.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I tried doing it on xp sp3 as well and it always says connecting device and it won't ever connect. Tried to re-install and all that updated everything and still wont work
Why do I need Kies? (innocent tone) All I've needed is mass storage option..
After installing Kies I kept having problems with Win7 64 bit until I plugged the USB cable directly into one of the motherboard ports. Once I did that things started working correctly.
I'm using Windows 7 Starter on my netbook. It's true, you have to get .NET 4 Framework, and I'll add that to the original post.
No one NEEDS Kies, but it is nice to have if you want to back up your contacts and convert videos to play on the phone.

I've found this only connects if you're using the TouchWiz launcher.

Tried that too. The Kies Recovery Mode attempts to install the drivers and the Samsung Android USB Composite Device does install but the CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) driver fails.
Any idea what that "other stuff" is that might be needed?
Tnx
this is great... but for whatever reason, when transfering music, i can't get playlists to transfer, nor some album art...
oh and i'm using it on win 7 pro x64... you do need the .net 4 framework and it will only connect while using TouchWiz :-\

I'm on Win 7 64 bit , amazing guy , you're the best
Wow thnx a lot! finally its working for me and i have a windows 7 x64.
Can't connect.
My phone is rooted and all drivers installed fine except the MTP driver won't install.
I can choose mass storage and mount but when I choose Kies option on the phone it just goes crazy and keeps flashing MTP on the phone.
Someone posted somewhere that you need to do a factory reset but I really don't want to do that cause it will wipe all my apps and stuff.
Any other ideas?
You need to connect the usb cable with it already set to the Kies option.
My phone connects to Win7 x86 when it is in development mode and Kies registers that fact but complains that it cannot be in that mode. So I switch the mode off in the phone but now when I plug the phone in it does not even get recognized. Nothing, not even trying to install driver or a new USB device found.
What am I doing wrong?
Net 4 is installed and so are the Sammy usb drivers.
What's the point of Kies?
Hi,
I have HTC Tilt 2 and I have contacts with photos on that. Also all the photos are in sync with outlook. When I used Kies to sync my contacts it did not bring any photo? What should I do? I have more than 300 contacts..
Samsung, this is pathetic!
Wasted 2 hours of my life dealing with your stupidity.
heres the solution (problem was launcher pro):
1. grab the homeswitcher from market
2. set touchwiz crap as default.
3. reboot phone.
from then on, kies acts normally, phone gets detected normally etc etc etc.
thanks for wasting my time samsung.
edit: even after this i had probs, seems i need to reboot phone everytime i need to connect it. on first connect after fresh reboot it seems to work. goodluck. (very very very poor software as expected from samsung)
edit2: this is a bug fest! who coded this samsung? some student? jesus this soft is so bad it kills all the experience. what a piece of junk. barely works. flaky. buggy. samsung, fire your software team asap. they suck. only a true amateur can output this kind of garbage. this is below badly coded visualbasic garbage.
Seems to me you need to take your unhappy self and learn how to code. Then apply for a Job at Samsung claiming you can put their programmers to shame. IF you aren't gonna do anything about it, other than complain, you need to just STFU or get another phone.

My phone has been working fine, up till last night. All of a sudden when I plug it into USB I get an error that there was a device malfunction. In dev man there's a Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume that windows says cannot start properly, and a unknown device under USB.
I've system restored, I've power drained, I've tried on 3 pc's. Same thing. All pc's are running windows 7 64 bit.
Any ideas?
Maybe reinstalling the samsung drivers from the website. Maybe a driver got corrupted. Other than that I don't know. Bring the phone back get a new one faulty device.
Tried reinstalling drivers. Problem is I can't even reflash because I can't get the phone recognized to use the stock rom.....
if you are getting the same result on multiple PC's then the odds favor that your phone is the problem, and not the computer or drivers.
Have you tried different USB modes?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Trying the reset, we'll see. I'm desperate now. Yes, I've tried Kies and mass storage. I don't even need to select one though. (I have it set to ask) I get the error as soon as I hook it up..
Update: Reset didn't do it.
The Same thing happened to me, i tried Factory Reset but it did not work.
Good luck, I'm about at the point of giving up. I'm trying my work PC tomorrow and if it doesn't work, I'm off to the ATT store.
I called ATT cust Care, the lady did not understand what the problem was and said that i should contact Samsung rather than calling ATT to resolve the issue.

thats some good troubleshooting right there
Driver issues, I had the same problem with windows 7. Use that usb view program and disable the htc drivers and samsung something usb bla bla drivers. Then replug and use the notifications to mount the sd card. It's hit or miss for me too.
Downloaded USBdeview?? Seems to be what you're talking about. Disabled, all samsung devices, there were 2. Plugged phone in. (I know longer get the mount options) soon as I hit mass storage on the phone though it throws the same error.
Then uninstalled the two devices, same thing. So I uninstalled ALL non HID devices, same thing. Gives me the error, throws an unknown device in dev manager, if I try to update/reinstall the driver it tells me the best one is already installed. Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling from add/remove. Same thing.
I'm thinking this is something with the device, not windows. It seems like the OS is somehow corrupted and not allowing windows to see it/load it.??? Sounds weird but 3 computers and 2 days solid of trying to fix this have gotten me no where.
Are you guys using Win7 x64 or 32?
I've had nothing but trouble with x64 and the samsung drivers. I can get the device to mount as a mass storage device if I uninstall all of samsung's drivers, and I have never been able to get the phone running in debugging mode (drivers always fail, adb shows nothing is connected). I can't even get the drivers working properly under WinXP 32bit running in vmware on my Win7 x64 computer.
The drivers work perfectly fine on my laptop running 32bit Vista, though. Installed the drivers, plugged in the phone, everything runs great.
Have not tested with a linux livecd, but I suspect it will also work fine.
I've only tried on 64 bit so far. I do have an Ubuntu box I could try it on I guess. Let's see....
Well... Nothing. I can't figure out how to get it to work in Ubuntu. Not sure it will. Honestly I just installed it and have yet to spend any time with it.
I use Win7 64 bit, tried it on Win XP but still have the same issue.
I'm wondering if it's the cable now. If I turn the phone off, then plug it in, as soon as the battery icon pops up I get the message. Nothing in DM though.
32 bit, used samsung drivers from their site, all the ones from here. As long as I get a connect once in a while I'm fine. I use my method which works for me. Oh well nothings perfect.
I grew up with rabbit ears and 4 head VCR's with bad tracking.
Yeah, unfortunatey I can't even get it to work once in a while......

It says you need to have a developer unlocked phone and also have chevron.
Either a developer account, OR Chevron. Chevron only works on the older OS, and not the newer.
A $99 investment for a developer account is a small price to pay to load any application you want onto the phone (including c++ code to get to that Bluetooth radio!). You even get a nice little XAP deployment tool.

well you try it? and how is it working?
Has anyone got this to work? My Arrive is developer unlocked but I can't get the driver to show up in Device Manager on Windows 7 64bit. It seems to connect to my laptop but then no internet connection on the laptop from my arrive.
Thanks for any help,

Same here. has anyone got this to work?
I can't make it work.
Anyone have any new info on tethering the Sprint HTC Arrive?
I spent about 3 hrs on this today. Sprint arrive developer unlocked tried on my windows xp 32bit. It appears the drivers dont want to take. It says not recognized or something along those lines. Its a fairly common problem on the other thread but i have some ideas hopefully ill get to try in the upcoming days.
I have had some success. If you read the dfrouter thread than you are familiar with the process. 2 drivers must be installed on the pc first for it to work. I have the usb modem driver installed after messing around with the file. If i can get the other driver to go i believe ill be able to tether.
This modified driver is running on windows xp and appears to be ready. If anyone has a xp 32bit pc and please pm and we'll see if the driver works for you as well.
If I get the other driver to go ill tether and upload everything.
progress
I spent a few hours on trying to get the vcom driver working last night to no avail.
-on my first attempt i was able to get the driver to be recognized by the pc as the htc diagnostic tool but at the last screen it always said failed.
-on my second attempt i was able to get the driver installed but i dont think it was done properly because it was not recognized as the htc diagnostic tool.
I pm'd a few members on here so we'll see if one of them comes to the rescue, otherwise i'll try again this weekend.
after i get the xp drivers working i believe the windows 7 drivers will be easier.
To get the usbmodem driver to work i only had to change the device id to match the arrive's. the vcom doesnt appear to be that easy, df wrote that it has to be installed as its some kind of qualcom security check.
The weird thing was that i got the 6xx error that others reported when dialing out but it would only dial out in "zune mode" and not "router mode". I dont know if that is because of the vcom driver or not but that behavior was not mentioned at all in the other thread.
Driver?
I posted this in the "Update" thread, too....but figured it was relevant to this discussion....
So, I got the update a couple of days ago, daughter yesterday, wife this morning. I've got two more Arrives to go.
One thing I noticed was that when the phone was put into update mode, my Win7 gave the "found new hardware" dialog and I have a HTC 9#### (I don't remember the number but it was something like 96300 or so -- and a quick google the other day revealed it to be the right model number) driver show up when I clicked on the details. When I plug it in now, it just goes to Zune software again and I can't see the number.....but a driver got loaded.
Did MS push a driver or did whatever flashing mode cause Win7 to recognize it? This might go alonEg with the tethering work being carried out......
EDIT: 93100. Looked through history.
Thats good to know. ive yet to update but i seen it was available so i will do so tomorrow.
Does this driver remain when shown under device manager with the phone plugged in? I will upload the xp 32 htc usb modem driver tomorrow to this post. perhaps this driver can help.
After getting the update, when I plug in the phone, it shows up as "Windows Phone USB" (or was it USB Windows Phone) and not as the 91300. It only showed up in that mode when the phone screen was in a different mode....so, I guess similar to the HTC USB Modem driver screen shot shown above.
EDIT: Found a picture of what the screen looked like when the "New Hardware" was found.... http://www.wp7connect.com/tag/ssl/
success
I'll be updating this afternoon
Here's both the vcom and usbmodem drivers
I was able to get it to work after wahwka helped me
They should install 1st time when you manually force the drivers
here's the thread which I found very useful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
Now here's what's really interesting
The modem ONLY dials out in "Zune Mode" not "Router Mode" which is the opposite of what everyone says on that thread.
So it would seem the dfrouter app is not needed at all on the arrive.
Like the modem can be used right out the box if the PC had drivers.
More people need to test what I've found.
I have not been able to connect yet I get error 692 but it may be just a setting is wrong as people have posted in that thread.
I will get working on some windows 7 drivers and see what happens on that PC
I believe the pc I have at my disposal is windows 7 64 so thats what I'll get working on next.
ALSO this app may be dangerous if you're only chevron unlocked read the thread
theres a possibility you may not be able to sync with zune.
I'm developer unlocked so I don't worry about this.
The developer took a lot of heat for this program and he was only trying to help the community so read first.
Id recommend making a backup first. Ill post the win 7 32 bit drivers here tomorrow. I'm still getting error 692 on this [email protected] computer too. I'm begining to wonder if something needs to be changed/tweaked in the phone program to get it to work. Ive just started learning silverlight so maybe ill ask dfvn.
Windows 7 32 Drivers attached.
I'll begin working on windows 7 64 next.
W7 64 Drivers
Windows 7 64 Drivers
This one seemed to be a b&%$h to install
Here's how I got them to install
I plug in the phone via usb
A bubble appears in the bottom right corner saying windows update is looking for drivers
click it
when the next window pops up click the cancel installing drivers
(These steps have to be done quickly or drivers will install and you will have 2 devices portable device HTC T7575 and windows usb device)
If done quick enough you will have two unknown devices _MI01 and _MI00
Force the drivers to install as previously written and ignore the MS warnings and they will install.
From here I notice the same things in all 3 PC setups
The drivers only appear to install in "Zune Mode"
In "Router Mode" I can only get one device to show up
"HTC" MI_00 and MI_01
If I uninstall, click usb sync, htc modem, no matter what I do I cannot get 2 unknown devices unless its in "Zune Mode"
--This needs to be tested by others--
If others come up with the same results
Then this tells us 2 things
1. Our phone or the way it interacts with dfrouter is different than the other wp7 phones that dfrouter works on
2. There is a chance that the htc arrive can be used as a modem without dfrouter and anybody will be able to use it as a modem
Has anyone called Sprint to see when they will offer tethering?
I have been using the APN "internet.com"
If this is not right it could be the reason I have'nt been able to connect
because the modem does appear to dial out
I might be wrong, but I think the APN is supposed to be blank for CDMA carriers. I can't post links but Google "tcp_apn_etc_for_sprint" and see the pinstack thread.
I have already been having problems with my Arrive's EVDO modem getting stuck in "null state" (kills all wireless data until RTN wipe) so I will probably wait for a more stable tethering solution.
For what it's worth I am running WinXP 32bit and using the attached drivers when playing around in QPST/QXDM and in USB Storage Mode. Hope some of this helps you!
Ok, I am MAD. This is unsolvable. I can't figure it out.
When I plug the Transformer into the PC, the PC won't detect it. It did a couple of days ago. I plugged it in to move some files over. It showed up as a drive before, but not anymore. The TF is brand new from Christmas, and it actually worked just fine Christmas day (I was able to transfer over some photos).
Two things happened between then and now that I can think of:
1. I used a System Restore to go back a few days because of a bluescreen issue that is unrelated and that I solved. It only went back literally one day, though.
2. I tried to delete some of the stock apps installed on the transformer. Not through root trickery or whatnot (I'm not even rooted or modified in any way). Just by going to the app market and trying to remove some crap (of course I couldn't).
I plug it in. Windows says "detecting driver," then it says it failed. USB debug mode is on. So I went into device manager. It shows up as "MTP Device" or maybe just "MTP," and Device manager gives it a question mark. So I went to Asus's site, downloaded the USB drivers, and installed those. No go. So I turned off Debug mode. No go. If I have debug mode on and plug it in and go to Windows Update, it shows an update for "Asus MTP Device" or something like that. I do the update and it gives me an error, saying the device is not connected. It is.
I've even installed the stupid Asus Sync Suite. It decided I wanted like five different startup programs. Revo Uninstaller made quick work of them, stupid bloatware.
So I've made no progress. Not sure why I could do it before, but I can't anymore. One thing that was weird when it WAS working was that my computer didn't get USB 2.0 transfer speeds from the device. Music copied agonizingly slow and my PC told me that "this device can perform faster if plugged into USB 2.0," even though all my ports are 2.0.
Currently, all that happens when I plug it in is Device Manager shows "MTP Device." HOWEVER, something interesting. When it's plugged in, the "safely remove hardware" icon shows up in the tray. If I click it, I see "Eee Pad Transformer." So the PC DOES detect the device, it just can't access its storage.
I'm on a Win7 PC that I built. I'm totally updated. The Eeepad is totally updated.
Oh, one last thing... I *might* have gone into the filesystem explorer app that came preinstalled to the device. I noticed that there were some folders from apps that I had installed but then uninstalled, and that bugged me, because if I uninstall a program I don't want that folder laying around. So I deleted some. But none were preinstalled apps. Things like Angry Birds, apps that I installed.
I read some thread in my google searches about something like UMDF or whatever. I tried that, but it seemed to only work for people with Vista or XP. The exe wouldn't even run on my system.
if anyone can figure this out, they'd have my eternal thanks.
You guys are awesome,
wontstoptalkng
ps,
I read through this thread a bajillion times:
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ormer-manual-usb-drivers-sync-software-2.html
I tried the method used in post 12, which is what worked for the OP. It didn't work for me, either because that method doesn't work on Win7 or it doesn't work on a 64bit os.

Does anyone know why the Found New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up every time I connect my Tipo with USB?
~~~~
Windows XP is always looking for some other driver and I have no idea where to get it.
* I am running Service Pack 3.
* I am using a standard MicroUSB cable that works fine with other phones; nothing fancy.
* I have tried various things I won't bore you with. I am looking for a real solution now.
I have never been this frustrated for drivers before.
Device Manager
Device manager's Other Devices heading simply shows Android underneath it, with an exclamation mark next to it. Obviously can't find the driver for something in the phone.
I would have thought Sony PC Companion would fix the driver issue, but that seems to logical; it doesn't.
Yet the phone works fine in PC Companion (detected perfectly).
Yet still this Found New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up every time I connect it.
I have seen other references to this on Google but haven't been able to find a real solution.
Help?
I found out the problem:
It only happens when USB debugging is enabled on the phone.
Weird thing is I tried the Android SDK drivers and it would still be looking for something it can't find.
I turned USB debugging off and all is good again.
But that's still annoying when it's enabled.
If anyone has any other insights, I'm all ears.
finally rooted
OK, just writing this down in case it helps someone.
Because I almost got admitted to the insane asylum figuring how to root my Sony Tipo Dual.
Say you want to root your phone and you don't know what's going on with drivers, like I didn't above.
And say PC Companion is not helping at all, like happened to me above.
PC Companion will detect the phone but the annoying Found New Hardware thing would always come up when you had USB debugging enabled in the phone.
And say you don't know a thing about ADB drivers or where to get them, like I didn't above. And say you literally spent days trying different drivers from the net and from the Android SDK, none of which worked for the rooting task, all the while trying to root the phone with various versions of Bin4ry's tool on and off over the last few months.
And say you've gone through hundreds of searches to find the answer to basic questions about rooting and all you've done so far is unlocked the bootloader, like I already did. Which in itself needed some extra help due to poor instructions.
The fix
Well, what I did was this, and I'm still not sure which one triggered the fix...that's how dazed and confused and surprised I am.
I installed Sony Update Service (free download on their website).
This did't seem to fix my "Found New Hardware" pain. At least not yet. PC Companion would still detect the phone normally and outside of this I would get no action with Bin4ry's rooting tool.
Then I disconnected my phone from the PC. This time I tried to uninstall some stuff.
I uninstalled PC Companion. Rebooting after uninstallation.
Then I reinstalled PC Companion with no phone connected. Rebooting after installation.
Then I connected the phone while PC Companion was running. Traditionally I'd close PC Companion down entirely before running Bin4ry's rooting tool and I'd get nowhere.
This time I started Bin4ry's rooting batch file (version 18) while PC Companion was running. Now it was working! So PC Companion needs to be running when I do this? I thought I would just get the driver loaded automagically and I'd be on my way. But apparently it needs to be running?
My god, some new green text that never showed up before while using Bin4ry's batch file!
My god, a message on my phone to respond to, coming from Bin4ry's rooting tool!
The rooting process was working!
Just like that. The phone was rooted. Just a bit past midnight.
I was on the edge of insanity wondering how to root the thing and then it all happened.
Last night was spent grabbing an app to help me delete so many services (nearly all Google apps/services deleted, and Facebook, and Sony's fluff, etc) from the phone. The phone is finally being cleansed of corporate spyware and I can finally run apps that only work on rooted phones like Droidwall and others I've yet to try.
What a great feeling!
Hooray. I finally rooted the thing.
Hope it helps someone.
