Does ANYONE know how to make Kies work with Windows 7 x64 bit ? Is there a hack ?

Anyone know how to get Kies working with windows 7 x64 bit ?
Please help i need to use it to update and get my 3 button combo working.
Any ideas ?

No hack matey. Simply need to install the 64 BIT drivers. I myself am on Windows 7 64 BIT for the extra RAM recognition. Kinda sucks that 32 BIT can only recognise 1.75GB of RAM. I think I installed them from here:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
It's phone specific, these are the Galaxy S drivers, so make sure you Google 'Your Phone Model, 64 BIT Windows 7 Drivers'. Install these, reboot, connect your phone to PC and launch Kies on your phone. Kies should start on your PC automatic, but sometimes requires a prompt to start. Make sure you use the Samsung Kies connection manager for the first time connecting your phone. These drivers will also work with Odin for flashing your phone, and I believe they will work with ABD although I don't use that.
REF, took the drivers from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929

I have windows 7 x64 and Kies running without any problems...

Its working great fir me. What problems are you facing?

No problems with kies also over here @ x64... just installed kies the way you normally do

Yeah, some people have to install the drivers manually, depends on the RC and Windows Update. Check the drivers post if anyone is having any problems!

trying now - removed kies too and dl the newest version ill let you know if this works
cheers mate

Well basically I installed Kies, and when I connect my phone, from the List i select Kies, and it says on my pc drivers failed to install, and on my phone it just does the MTP screen thingy and it disappears, over and over again.
I can't connect my phone at all. It sucks because I really need use Kies so I can get my 3 button combo working and really mess around with the phone.

Did you install usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

Kies works fine on my Windows 7 64Bit Professional.
​

It's not Kies that is your problem mate.
MTP flashing on the Galaxy S means you have a program on the phone causing the problem. 16 digit file extensions is the issue. You can try unmounting the internal and external memory cards.
You can try formating the internal memory.
You can use a program which is available to search for the 16 digit file extention issues and delete the folders/files it finds.
Make sure you don't have an alternate launcher started as well. Kies doesn't like it.

try uninstalling it than install the version from samsung website
here is the link:

Got it working for him, he said hes going to make a donation to me . Hope so, need to pay for university! Great guy to teach, learns fast, and showed him how to update to JPH 2.2.

I have a problem with kies as well, MTP flashing.
Where can I find this app that removes 16 digit file extensions etc?
From day one I havent been able to connect to kies.

KIES and drivers and Mini Kies .....

It is my understanding there is no official US release for Kies for the Captivate.
I had to uninstal all Samsung drivers and installed Mini Kies which loaded it's own drivers.....so I could update the FW to JH7. However I think I had to use USB bugging mode and now the Kies selection in USB shows as "Kies (FW Upgrade)" (Win 7 (64bit)
Seems to me there are many versions of Drivers and Kies floating around..
Is there a current application of Kies that will work for the US and does it come with drivers as well or do we still have to load drivers separately. IN Kies mode the full Kies program would just make the phone beep and not see it.
Which is why I loaded mini Kies. I want to use Kies but want a working application with proper drivers and able to connect the phone every time. Is there such a thing yet? For WIN 7 64?

I installed Mini-Kies on my Win 7 64 bit machine as well. What I did was start Mini-Kies on the pc and then plug in my Cappy. When the phone asked I selected Kies and my pc installed new drivers. Once these installed correctly Mini-Kies saw my phone and reported no firmware update (I got the ota fine).
Dunno if this will help you. Good luck.

All went well with Mini Kies, I was ws wondering if there is a Regualr Kies available that comes with drivers on the install like Mini kies did. Now that I haemini Kies working I am afraid to load a larger version and mess up any furure Updates (Froyo???LOL)
Mini Kies is the way to go for the latest update for sure.

Kies doesnt recognize Galaxy Tab (SOLVED)

So I got my tab today. But Win 7 x64 (i have 3 machines with x64 and none with x86 at home) doesnt recognize the device.
There are no drivers in the manager and nothing happens when i choose Kies on the galaxys usb connection menu.
Kies does see that the device is in storage mode, but if i change it to kies connect windows doesnt even give me the plug and play sound. Nothing.
EDIT:
The trouble was the non-stock launcher
Heres what to do if youre having troubles:
1. download Home Switcher from Market and set it to Touchwiz launcher
2. connect to Kies (im using 1.5.3.10092_58_8)
Proceed to root and enjoy!

I have the same problem but your solution does not work for me.

Well that's weird, I have a notebook with Windows 7 x64 and apparently the latest official version of Kies, haven't had a single problem for the Galaxy Tab to be recognized...
I'm not sure which version number I have: I have downloaded Kies on samsung.de, then after the installation I was prompted that an update was available, so I have installed the update of Kies.
Then I have connected the Tab to my computer in Kies mode, the drivers have automatically installed, and Kies recognized my device directly...

Same problem
running on vista 32 the phone isnt didectable trying to unistall the usb drivers and install another recommended one then will sea

Didn't work for me either. Also, btw. Kies is complete crap and does really intrusive stuff. Tmobile garbage apps permanently installed on the device, etc. I don't think I'll ever really understand what the product people think at these companies.
Rant over.
Anybody working on a root that's a little more direct?

Weird. Kies kept saying it didn't recognize the device, but the root app appears to have worked. Need to try an actual root thing to see if its for real.

Whoops. spoke too soon. Didn't actually root.

So just to be sure. It is ok to use Win7 x64 for Kies general use and more importantly to do any future software upgrades?
Its just that win7 is not a supported OS.

I've been using it just fine with Win7 x64 for the last six months or so, for my Galaxy S devices, give or take the usual Kies bull**** that will happen on any OS.

Thanks. I see they just released new software which supports Win7.

Fixed! - Cannot install MTP USB driver
I had a problem when I plugged in my SGT in Kies mode for the first time the MTP driver failed to install and gave an error. Then Kies could not see the Tab.
Fixed it by uninstalling Kies, upgrading Windows Media player to latest version then re-installing Kies.
Read it in a forum somewhere and it worked first time.
Hope it helps someone else

In Ontario Canada with a Bell Galaxy Tab
And... none of the above solutions have worked for me... any other suggestions?

GREAT!!!with this trick finally i can connect my tab to the notebook!!thanks a lot...

I tried to unistall kies,reinstall kies,uninstall driver, reinstall driver, .........
but never Kies recognized my SGT.
But finally I've solved in this way:
- Disable usb debug mode
- Set usb to kies mode
- Lock the screen <-- very important step.If I don't do this, kies doesn't recognize my Tab
- Connect Tab via USB to my Win7 64Bit
- Start Kies
For reference:
I've a SGT rooted and latest version of Kies (2.xxxx).
Hope it helps someone else

How do you set it to kies mode?

Simply, on SGT, go to Settings Menu
tap on wireless --> Usb and then select Kies.

thanks @limonxda, but your suggestion didn't work for me. KIES still doesn't recognize my Tab.
Does anyone have any more suggestions?

I have a verizon GTAB and they seem to have removed the KIES Mode from the selection.
I guess they want us to use their VCast software only.

I ended up fpashing my tab with roto fw and now it connects to kies just fine.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to say thanks for your posting here. I was having trouble getting Kies to recognise my Galaxy Tab. However, after switching back to the Samsung Launcher from LauncherPro, it has recognised my Tab and is installing some large firmware update (hopefully Gingerbread!).
Of course, it would be nice if it told me more specifically what it was updating....
EDIT: Scratch that. An hour of firmware updating and I still seem to be running 2.2. Or specifically, the cryptic firmware version from Kies is:
PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5 (CPW)

Why can't KIES connect ? I can't upgrade to Froyo now :(

What are the tips/tricks to get KIES to work ?
I am running eclair. Windows 7 64 bit. I installed the 64 bit drivers etc. Im using TouchWiz. It just says connecting device in Kies but it never does.
On the phone, it just keeps looping ....
Anyone help me out? I will donate to your paypal if you can get Kies working for me.

There is no official support of KIES for Win7 64 bit. It works for some, for less fortunate ones, it doesn't. You can try installing these http://graveyard.hu/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.zip
OR
You can try Samsung PC Studio http://in.samsungmobile.com/support/softwaremanuals/softwareNpsUpdate.do?phone_model=GT-I9000
OR
Weird still, there have been solutions to this where you can update your windows media player 10/11.
OR
if you are adventurous enough, give a try with ODIN and flash any firmware/ROM you wish.
Good luck.

That's the thing, i don't want to be adventurous. I bought this phone straight up and paid over $500 for it and yet I can't update it ? Is this a joke ?
Probably the worst phone / software / customer service ever created. There isn't a phone in history with as much problems as this piece of sh!t.
NO SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS 7 ???????????????
What the FCK is wrong with these people? They thing we are all running windows 98 or something? Stupid fcks.

It works for me and i have done it a couple of times.
First you need to install it with administrator rights.
Put the phone so it go into kies mod automatic.
Use the latest kies.
Reinstall the driver if windows don't se it. You have the options in kies.
If it still don't work download android sdk and follow all info there. There is also drivers you can install with it.
I don't remember but i think it 32-bits. But that's okay.
If you can get adb to work( adb shell) then kies should see it.
Sometime you need to install drivers that windows installs.
Just go to device manager and put your usb cabel in the phone and watch when you see the phone shows up in device manager.
Install the drivers then pull out the cabel. Then install the drivers with kies. Then put the cabel in with kies open.
It should work.......

I had the same issue. Samsung advised that you re-update the drivers (double click the exe file in usb drivers within program files - kies), and this did the trick. Although i have to do this everytime i want to use kies but seeing as i only need it when the updates come i have no issue.
Stupid samsung and their unkown reason for not taking OTA updates.

I had exactly the same.. stop using Kies and go for Odin!

ok Tried on my wifes pc today, and the same thing happens. i can see kies is downloading, and preparing, the phone turns on with a little green guy, and now stock at 0%. the pc isn´t frozen, and taskman tells my both kies and firmware update is running.
How long does it normaly take to update the phone. im at over 1 h. now and nothing had happend.
About odin, is future update through kies still possible.
Remember my old wave phone, after manualy update , kies then complaind about not been able to update to my phone, cause wrong firm installed.

Yes but what does it care? Kies is known as a bad flashing tool. Odin is much better.. If you are using Win7 x64 you can forget using Kies properly. I suggest you just backup your numbers using kies and then start using Odin.

Odin is much better. Kies bricks phones.

When I first updated my phone through Kies it took about 15-20 minutes, if you want to update your phone using Stock Rom (that is the ROM you're trying to update throgh kies - you have to take note of the number and letters before updates) i advice you too to use Odin.

Ok ill give odin a go.
Does odin clear all settings and apps installed, like MultiLoader did when flashing my wave.
I know about falshing the right firmware, it was a ***** to get my hands on Danish firm to the old wave, hope i more luck finding the latest in danish for the Galaxy.
Right now im very very happy that i flushed that sammy wave the galaxy is so much faster and fun to use.
thanks for replying. Odin it is.

A friend just managed to update his SGS+ via Kies after 12 or something hours of failed attempts (he did try everything from drivers to USB port and cable)
The official update stopped mid-download at a random percentage every time.
His PC was running Win7 x64 and on his final attempt he used another computer with Win XP that did the trick.
The good thing after this adventure of his was that all the apps, messages and settings were kept.

wonder if a virtual xp inside win7 32bit , would do the job.

Quite risky in my opinion, as USB has to be connected through virtualization layers. This might work without any issues but could cause severe problems as well.
I personally tried to connect with KIES from a Win XP vm running on Win7 x64 natively (with vmware Workstation) and it did not work properly.
Tried it several times and with various boots and settings.
But I may have been too impatient, on my netbook KIES also needed several attempts to get connected to the phone.
In the end, I flashed with Odin, that worked right at the first attempt.

If you have Windows 7 on 32 bits you can update via Kies.I updated my phone without any problems when I was using stock ROM.I now just use it for backup.

Windows 7 32 bit never faced this type of problem but yups my friend bricked his phone while updating through kies so be careful also
