Standalone Drivers!

To be completely honest, when I was new to this phone, I had a heck of a hard time finding the USB driver. I know you are supposed to install Kies, but that's a pretty big download. This 19.6 MB installer is found in the Kies files, I just decided to upload this for the sake of people who don't have the drivers yet.
Please inform me if this has already been posted/does not work.
I have NOT tested this, it should work though.

[scratches head] kies doesn't support the infuse (other than the drivers of coarse), installing kies is silly. The drivers are on the Samsung website under product support exactly where you'd expect them to be.

Kies supports my infuse...

Yea true don't get support with kies but until I installed it I never could get my phone to find what it needed to on the computer. It really is important if u end up having issues connecting and finding your phone

That's because kies installs drivers, but again the logical place to look for drivers is the Samsung product support section and they are there. Its amazing the simple things this while forum seems to ignore.

Which kies functions are supported with the infuse? Can you update firmware? Can you install Samsung apps? Edit contacts? Sync media? I never tried it but as fast as I know only galaxy s phones a supported and the infuse on att is not labeled as a galaxy s. I've heard it doesn't work but I have Linux on my computer and never use windows unless I have to. I have no reason to use kies or USB drivers.

so kies works on infuse now? that would be really helpful if they had an app, because my usb driver is broken and i cant update my phone.
any help?

yes, kies supports the infuse now. and is the only proper way to upgrade to official gingerbread from att.

thats a little stupid idea to say the least...
what about people that dont have a computer, or like me their USB connection on their infuse is not working(im not the only one)?
i cant find any drivers for my infuse or ways to download the update that im pretty sure would fix my phone...they've really left me deserted and want me to pay a fee to have my phones OS reinstalled

on the infuse, gingerbread required a new bootloader which required a computer. you should have drivers loaded with kies, if not you can get them from samsung. you may have to go select the proper driver in device manager. i know it conflicts if you install adb.

GT-P5113 and Kies

Hello,
First post, sorry if this has been asked before. I have a GT-P5113 with ICS 4.04 Rooted with Weltwon's great post and instructions. My question is I did not try to connect via Kies until I rooted it and now I can't get the MTP driver to start under Windows’ 7 64bit, 32bit and Windows XP 32bit SP3, should I have connected it to Kies before rooting? Also I see some people have reset data to factory and was able to get Kies working, can you do this reset after rooting and should I reset from ICS or CWM? Last question after rooting the unit it installed the Samsung recovery back I am ok with this, having this will OTA work? I did use Triangle away and reset the counter to 0
Thanks for your help. GREAT website with GREAT knowledgeable people on it, keep up the good work.

Just upgraded to the latest version of Kies and I continue not being able to connect my GT-P6800 to Kies...it just hangs there "Connecting" forever
My Ace Duo connects fine...the 7.7?...Nothing...not in MTP or PTP USB/PC connection modes.

What OS are you running on computer? Check Device Manager. Installed Samsung USB drivers? Connecting directly to computer and not via a hub? Try a different USB cord. Some just won't work.

It's the one provided with the device. It used to work. It still does, as Windows recognizes the tab as an MTP device.
I've now left it a long, LONG time trying to connect. After several minutes I got a pop-up window with: "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Make sure that your device is supported and try again"
What the....!?!?!?

If you've installed a ROM from a different country, a custom ROM, or rooted your device, KIES will not recognize it. Actually, it is possible that KIES won't recognize the device if the binary counter is above zero (or, if you've ever installed anything through Odin).

I did install the Austrian P6800XXLQ2 P6800OXALQ2 firmware with Odin and have also rooted the device.
Rooting must not be the cause, since Kies connected fine with stock HC and the device already rooted.
What's the "binary counter"?
Is there any way around this? I would like to have Kies centralizing my contacts and backups.

Does your CSC match the installed frimware?
Had to change the CSC from TEN to ATO after installing ATO firmware in order for Kies to work properly

Well, I downloaded a zip file named "P6800XXLQ2_P6800OXALQ2_ATO". It uncompressed into "P6800OXALQ2_P6800XXLQ2_HOME.tar" and "SS_DL.dll".
I installed using Odin. I can only believe the CSC is the ATO one.
How do I check this?

Binary Counter is Samsung's internal method of tracking how many times a ROM (or other alteration I believe) was made to the device. Some say a method of tracking for warranty purposes. Chainfire has an app (TriangleAway) that resets the binary counter on Google Play but unsure if it is supported for the 7.7. Have it on my 10.1 Note.

Please, tell me how to change the CSC?!
I've been trying it for a long time without success... I flashed the ATO ROM (P6800XXLQ2) to my Hong Kong vendor code device. But this ROM doesn't contain special CSC folder, so, I couldn't change it with the dedicated CSC Change app. I even thought that I should go back to honeycomb and change the code on that ROM but I didn't find a proper ATO ROM among the HC ones on Samfirmware. So, what to do?

Thought: I love Android because of the versatility and the superior support given by a knowledgeable, generous community of developers.
...but I am starting to wonder if the efficiency of those developers coupled with the said versatility isn't resulting in such a gargantuan number of combinations that they are actually killing any chance of effective support, as our own incarnation of Android is always slightly but irremediably different from the next one.

It worked for me but make sure you back up your data because it will wave your data.

Interesting post. I gave up months ago trying to connect my 7.7 to Kies on my computer. Getting the same message as the OP. And.. I am running stock honeycomb from VZ. No rooting, roms, etc.

Hi bud, don't you think you were asking for a solution as Kies was unable to detect your device after updating to the latest firmware ?

No.
I asked for help regarding Kies not being able to recognize my 7.7 on another thread on the same subject...funnily enough, one where the OP specifically asked for a solution and that was (...and still is...) filled under "Galaxy Tab 7.7 General" without being subject to this aggressive moderating zeal...go figure...
This thread of mine merely stated the fact (not question) that it still does not connect under the newest Kies incarnation.
Although generous posters advanced with possible solutions, that was not the intent.
The reason I prefer international forums to Portuguese ones is because my countrymen have a tendency to turn into little arrogant dictators when the slightest modicum of power is entrusted to them (...especially under the cover of anonymity...)
Please don't fall into the same trap.

[Q] Brand New GT-P3113

Looking to root and install a custom rom/kernel. I have came across many different ways of rooting and flashing roms, and I was looking for the least dangerous way to root and flash ClockWorkMod and CM10.1. I also was looking for a way to flash back to a "stock version" that is compatible with my warranty, because I don't want the $50 that I spent on the "2-year extended warranty" to be a waste. I have only ever rooted one device before(Boost Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Prevail), I have CWM and CM7 on it. I also read that the IR functionality of the P3113 is not working on CM10.1, is that the only feature that isn't working? I un-installed Kies from my Win7 PC because it wouldn't connect with my P3113 and i kept getting "Hardware ID Missing" errors. When I un-installed Kies it also un-installed my USB drivers. I re-installed them and now the P3113 shows up as a "portable media device" in Windows Explorer. Is that connection sufficient enough for Odin to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :good:

Download the stock firmware from samfirmware.com and install it with ODIN prior to returning it.

That's what you'll see from a normal boot. You'll have to boot into download mode for ODIN to work. There's no reason the drivers with Kies wouldn't work, however. Note that there's a checkbox when you uninstall Kies to leave the drivers installed. That's what you should have done.

Vancouver, Canada. I'm getting the same thing. Came from Galaxy Note 1, was told my Kies didn't support this device (note 3) and I needed to download Kies 3. Then I get that message you quoted.

So kies 2.6 doesn't work with Note 3 at all? I tried and couldn't get it working. Kies 3 works, but it seems to be missing the podcast options. It's the only reason I'd like to use Kies since downloading podcasts on my phone uses up a lot of data.
