[Q] Firmware Update Problem and Kies Problem

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.

[Q] Flashed CM, problem updating driver?

Hi all
I have successfully flashed Cyanogen nightly on my phone. However, when I connect it to my PC, it doesn't give me an option to transfer files to and from my phone to my computer. All I see is the USB debugging on my notification bar. I have tried this advice from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13636060&postcount=1465
I have also installed the drivers from LG. When I use the support tool to update it, it says that they cannot find a connection between the phone and my computer. Would that possibly be an issue?
Thanks!
EDIT UPDATE: When I follow the instruction from the link above, I get an error saying "Windows found driver for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it.
LGE Android Composite USB Device
This device cannot start.(Code 10)
I hope I can get some help! Thanks again!

I'm gonna be home in a minute if you want me to upload the LG driver exe I used and know works I can.

Yeah, that would be great. Let me know when you can.

I really hope it works for you *fingers crossed*

Unfortunately that didn't work either.
What's weird is that when I connect my phone to my computer, that icon that lets you know that the USB is connected doesn't show up at all. The icon where you can select to copy files to/from your computer.
I've tried many things but haven't fixed this problem yet.

I really hope someone else can help sorry

Yeah, thanks for your help.

Have you tried restarting both the phone and the pc?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yes I sure have. Any other suggestions?

When I try to update the LG drivers via the software support tool it gets stuck on checking the connection with the phone and tells me to unplug the battery, restart the phone, and try again. When I do that, I get the same problem.

I'm still working on this same issue. Today I used the ROM for recovery linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
It worked and I was able to transfer files to my internal SD with the stock ROM. I then flashed CM7 once again but had the same problem. I then used the CM Nexus GB by Faux123 and once again had the same problem. When I plug in my USB, debugging icon shows up but the USB transfer doesn't show at all.
I find it weird that it worked with the stock ROM but not with either of CM7 or CM Nexus.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

[Q] Connecting to Kies???

Hi all.
Anybody been able to connect the N8000 to Samsung Kies? All drivers are installed, the N8000 is recognized as such by Windows, drives are mounted. Latest Kies from Samsng: 2.3.3.12085_7.
BUT: Kies stays on "Connecting..." forever and ever and ever... until it finally gives up and goes back to ask to connect a device.
Anybody experienced the same and found out what to do to fix it?

From memory if any samsung phone or tab that has USB Debugging enabled will do this. Disable it and try again.

Thanks for the hint, well appreciated! USB debugging is off. I had tried with it on, too, as other threads said that's an issue. Both without success.
I sometimes get a message from Kies that it was unable to retrieve device information...

Just click on "Solve connection problems", wait (sometimes for "hours"), restart PC and connect again. Mostly it´s a problem with the drivers when KIES has updated something.
I have this problem with one PC literally every time I connect and with my two Sony laptops never ................

Tried that, too, without success.
However, I finally found what's the problem. For whatever reason, CSC wasn't set, which Kies apparently insists on. Setting CSC rsolved the problem, Kies working fine now
Thanks again to all who helped! :good:

I had the same problem. For me it helped to completely uninstall Kies and any Kies related Software like Samsung drivers via controlpanel. Then i installed Kies again and i installed the driver package from somewhere in xda(sorry don't know the link anymore) then i connected my phone and waited for Windows to search the drivers. This could take some time.
Sorry for my bad english, i hope you will understand me

[Q] brick ??!

Hi everyone,
I have currently some big issue with my GT-N8010.
My custom rom wasn't running very well so I decided to reset my tablet and go back to a new fresh installation.
I downloaded the latest firmware of the tablet on sammobile and started to update it with Odin PC, but in the middle of the transfert I got an error and now my tablet is stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.".
I have no idea how to fix it! And I can't go back to download mode anymore. On top of that, my tablet seems not to be recognize by my computer (I tried to install Kies and the samsung usb driver several times but it keeps saying that's the driver is not ok)...
Can someone help me please ?
Thank you in advance!

What custom rom did you had ? 4.4.2 or 4.1.2 ?

It was a 4.1.2 (HD Revolution) and I tried to flash with odin the N8010XXUCMK2_N8010XSACNA2_XSA

First uninstall kies and all usb drivers. Restart your computer.
If you can get in download mode (power+volume down then volume up when asked) :
Install some drivers from the sticky topics here on xda. Download the firmware again from another location if possible. Use a different usb port.
If you can't get in download mode, you have to try with kies. I never had success whit it, and i really need it. But it says that n8010 does not support initializing or something like that. Maybe someone else can help with kies.

I don't know where it comes from...
I tried everything, uninstall/reinstall Kies/Usb driver, put a VM with Win7 (As I am under Windows 8.1), put Win7 in dual boot to maybe fix the compatibility issue but nothing seems to work! And of course I don't have any other computer to use...
That's maybe the reason the tablet get broken as I used to use Odin on another PC and I didn't check if the usb driver was installed on this one??
I just know that Odin recognized my tablet so I was able to launch the installation of the new firmware.
I feel really bad...Hope the tablet is not definitly dead!

Faulty USB cable perhaps ?

Ok so I went to a Samsung store and they told me that I have to send my tablet to the repair center in the country where I bought the device.
It's a big issue for me as I am now living in Australia and my tablet has been bought in France.
On top of that the guy from Samsung explained me that now it's normal if my tablet is not any longer recognize by my computer...
I heard about JTAG, I don't have any idea about the subject but may it fix my problem?
Does someone know how samsung is able to fix the tablet, so I may fix it myself instead of sending to them...?
