Hey Guys, my forum search option is inoperable at the moment but i needed help on an issue that has probably been touched down on at some point. ever since i installed the new ICS update from rogers yesterday kies will no longer see my phone whatever i do, i can still see mY SD card and internal memory drives but can not for the life of me get kies to see my phone, anyone have a solution? ive already tried unchecking and rechecking debugging and stuff
Maybe try uninstalling both Kies and the USB driver and then reinstalling?
What do you need Kies for anyway?

Ya..maybe ICS requires new drivers. Have you let Kies update itself?
yes i did let kies update, and i needed kies to back up my data

Ok my Kies software said it had an update so I downloaded it and now it wont connect to my Captivate. Kies is version 1.5.3.10103_100. It just sits on connecting to device but wont connect?? Do I need to redownload the USB drivers. Windows wants to open the device so did I break something with the download. My phone is not rooted or anything yet.
Mine did the same this morning. Just uninstall kies and reinstall using the original exe you had installed. Worked for me. Just so I am clear, I am talking about kies, not kies mini.
Crap is it posted somewhere here as I dont think I have the old Kies software.
download the usb drivers?

It's not the drivers. I had the same issue. The phone was still connecting to the pc. I could see it and go into it, but kies was not connecting to it. Removing kies and reinstalling the original fixed it for me.
I have it and will upload it, not sure how long it will take.

Yeah this happened to meer also. And I had to go back to the original before the update. They might do froyo through keis, but they messed it up with the update. How lame its that?!

Thanks SCIranger that helps, now on to rooting out the ATT evil in my phone
Two problems in one email... Let me say ahead of time I appreciate any help and have looked for solutions before posting
1) Captivate always gives error contacting AT&T server when trying to check for firmware update. I am still on a stock phone with no root. I was able to use this function to upgrade from whatever the phone had when shipped to JH7. Since then always get this error.. Help would be appreciated.
2) Kies program connection. Because I could not check for firmware updates I decided to try Kies. I can not connect except for when I choose Mass Storage mode on my phone's usb and then the Kies software says to choose PC Studio mode. Only Kies mode on my phone is Firmware Update mode. Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve
Try using Kies Mini instead of that version, Mini is just for firmware upgrading.
Also when you use it set your phone to usb debugging mode and ask on connection in the application settings.
Jh7 its the latest update. There's no new froyo out yet.

Thanks for the replies..
I did the debug usb and Kies told me it can not connect to a device with usb debugging on .. again told me to turn on Kies (PC Studio) but I don't have that option on my phone...
Uninstall your Kies software, if your wanting to update to JF7 from JH6
you install this software (Kies Mini- for firmware upgrades only)
Google "Kies mini Samsung captivate".
Click the first link.
i'd post a link but im not permitted to considering I only have 1 post.
MAKE sure you have settings>applications>usb settings>ask on connection
AND
settings>applications>developement>USB debugging enabled.
1) I had this same problem after the JH7 update via OTA. I used the "Software Update" selection and got the proper update. Phone said it updated correctly. After that, whenever I tried to check for update again, it failed to connect to the server. I had some other issues as well (not being able to add a google account). I took it to AT&T but they didnt know how to fix it. I ended up flashing back to stock using odin-one-click and updated it again to JH7. After that, everything worked ok. Seems like during your update, something didnt install right although it told you it did.
2) Make sure you are in the TouchWiz launcher and not any other launchers like LauncherPro. Also, make sure you are on the home screen of the TouchWiz. The only way I can get Kies to recognize my phone is to change the USB settings to Kies (not Ask on connection). 1.5.3.10093_82 is the version of Kies I am using. If you update it to the latest version (1.5.4.10093_100), then it will no longer recognize the samsung captivate at all.
i finally got my captivate to connect to kies mini using the .dll patch from another post and then moved back to the TwLauncher and selected Kies(firmware upgrade).
now its telling me in kies that it can not connect to the model information server
if i cant connect to kies then how will i ever be able to update to froyo?
help will be appreciated.

Don't panic. That happens alot probably because people are slamming the servers looking for an update. Try it on an off time and see if it connects.
Hey guys
I have installed the .net 4 framework and then I installed kies. I keep getting prompted by something called "teruten.com" it keeps asking for permission. If I click yes I get a "service initialli failed right after and the blue kies box stays there and then I get prompted by teruten.com again. If i press no, it just asks me again. Then it kies finally loads and when I connect my phone, I couldn't update it because I had it in mass storage mode. So I disconnected it and put it on kies mode and it didn't recognize the phone. Not even in my computer. Its weird, now I just noticed that my computer wont even recognize the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I kept getting the exact issue when trying to use Kies and finally gave up trying to figure it out. I had all the USB drivers installed correctly and verified but it just wouldn't work. Someone had posted about using Excel to modify the hosts file (if i remember correctly) but that didn't work for me either. I think the bottom line is it's a not for US app at this time. although some have managed to get it to work, it's a crap shoot.
Also when i attempted to get it to work it embedded itself into Outlook 2007. After unistalling Kies I would get an error (can't remember error) in Outlook everytime starting up. Finally had to uninstall and reinstall Outlook to clear that up.

Remove anything Samsung from your computer including drivers.
Download and install Mini Kies. It will reinstall drivers.
Connect phone and see if it's recognized.
STAY AWAY FROM KIES.
Samsung can't give us a phone that works properly and you want to use a software package that isn't designed to work with our phones. That is unless you are not in the US.
If you are trying to use kies to sync your outlook contacts and such you can use kies 1.5.310093_82. You can NOT use it for firmware updates. I used it to sync all my outlook contacts when I first got my captivate. You can find it on the forum. I had uploaded it and so did others. It will try and update to the newer version, don't let it or it will stop working for you.
Here is the download:

Thanks guys.
I just installed Kies 2.0 from here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
And whenever I try to run it I get an error saying the files are corrupt and if it keeps happening then I should reinstall it. I've reinstalled it 3 times, restarting my computer each time and I keep getting that exact same error.
After Googling it a little, a lot of people seem to be having problems with it on Windows 7 64 bit (which is what I'm using) but at the bottom of the page I linked it says it is compatible with it...
Because Kies is not compatible with out devices ATm
Then how come in the dev section all of the odin flash to stock posts say that the easiest way to install drivers for the phone is with Kies?
Is there another way I can install the drivers for it?
it Kies installed on your computer. drivers have been installed. its another thing that kies does not work. but if kies it self installed on your computer then the drivers have been installed.

It's still not working for me. I installed the one linked to from that topic and I get the exact same results.
However, if I go to the Devices and Printers window in Windows 7 when I have my phone in either Kies or Download mode, it shows a yellow triangle next to my phone. When I try to troubleshoot it, it says that drivers aren't installed and it can't find any.
I did that with Kies installed but it still says it can't find any drivers.
It says I dont have proper drivers? I got samsung kies on my computer do I need it on my phone as well? It wont down load onto the phone (maybe because only eu phones have it available?) I need a superoneclick link maybe that has proper drivers! Can some one help me out, I've tried alot of things even broke out the old laptop(I run mac now) it's running xp, if that helps. Could some one help me root this bi**h!!
I really need input it seems i'm not getting any answers on the posts that help others figure it out. I have tried ALOT any help would be great!! anything!!!
no you don't need it on the phone just install kies and connect the phone and make sure debugging mode is enabled

Exactly what he said...
That's because Kies loads the correct drivers for the Infuse.

No need for that..... Just install LATEST version of Samsung Kies and your pc will have the drivers. There are a lot of versions floating around out there and only the newest one has the Infuse drivers.
Once loaded just use super one click again and it should work.
If it's not working, try latest super one click and try again...
And yes, be in debug mode and have it on mass storage device.

Does anyone have a good link to a download, all the ones I find for the newer ones are mirrors to some bs paysites. Also I can't even hook up to kies due to the fact it needs to be in "PC studio" mode I can't find that on my phone also before I would plug in my phone it would say "update firmware(samsung kies)" now its not there and it never updated, is that the problem at all.

Infuse XP Drivers
I have an issue here, my laptop crashed and I lost everything on the drive. I'm trying to find the XP drivers for Infuse. Can someone please point me to a working link for these drivers?
I'm running SuperCM7 on my Infuse and am needing to get BT working so I need to reload it to something different.
