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.......
**Using my own JPU kernel, z4mod, 339MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
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.

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?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
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.
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.
Hi all,
I am unable to get Kies to recognise my galaxy s (when in Kies mode) or windows for that matter. I've tried installing the samsung usb drivers etc using the latest version of kies, still doesn't work.
What options do I have now in terms of firmware flashing? (I'm not installing 32bit xp just to flash my phone)
Cheers
if you search the forums you will find your answer, which will be along the line sof using Odin, very easy to use, so good luck and enjoy.
win7-64bit and kies connection semi-working method
I've tried almost all methods mentioned on different forums...but since i'm unwilling to mess to much around i've opted for this way:
using latest kies 1.5.3. 80something... on win7 64 bit..
remove the lockpattern from the phone if yo uhave it enabled
install kies...remove the kies autostart option and the kies trayagent
do the repair drivers and reboot
ones the bios screen is done..have the phone unlocked and connect to pc/laptop
wait and wait some more after login to windows..
one most occasions windows will finally tell you it have a new device ready for you...then open kies and life is good.. at least until like in my case the laptop goes into powersave mode and the connections are broken and I have to do the reboot step again
the firmware update from jf__ something to jm__ something was a hassle...but after a few attempts to run it the darn thing finally worked..
hope this helps
thanks for the help b, tried it but didn't work
I think the official word from samsung is that kies does not support windows 7 64.
Seriously regret ever getting this phone.

i am with win7 x64, fine here
using odin to flash rom is dam easy job.
Kies updated to _82 today.
the _82 update fixed closing the firmware updater for me that was in the last 2 builds on win7 x64 , it promptly closes having not used up more than 33mb ram when I click cancel or close after checking for new firmware, previously it billowed up to over 1300mb use and really flawed my system until it, kies and the connection manager were terminated fully.
http://www.samsung.de/de/support/detail.aspx?aguid=47e29085-4dff-4b5c-b8ab-dd9b9c8b70f8&dl=software
try the new PC Studio software for SGS
download link and detailed info on SGS wiki, click my link
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)
Hello ppls.
I've read some similar threads about this problem, tried some solutions, didn't worked and they didin't really had my situation.
So lets begin. My phone isn't recognized by my computer of anysort. When i plug the device i get this error: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) .Tried solutions for the error with no succes.
I run Windows 7 64 bit,4gb Ram, Intel Quad Core 2,2 Ghz. I downloaded the drivers for the device from samsung, bummer when i manually try to update the drivers and set the path to where the drivers are it says The device is already up to date,even with online search.
What i've tried so far:
1. Tried in normal condition with KIES. Debugging off.
2. Debuggind on. Same
3. Different PC with windows 7 32 bits, same error, same solutions that don't work
4. Updating .Net framework
5. Installing a program that automaticly detects drivers. It didnt even see it.
6. Checking the cable for corrosion or anything else faulty. Cleaned it even.
7. Yelling are the stupid phone !!
Thank you.

Have you tried with a different USB cable?
No because i connected succesfully my friends galaxy fit with it, so the cable is not the problem.
thry manualy installing galaxy s drivers on pc?
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
Try different drivers.
Make sure you're using a Samsung wrong with the Samsung drivers.
Use a different PC.
Keep trying!
I gave up...I tried everything.Spent hours of searching forums and applying solution, nothing works... Tried On 3 different pc's. 1 with win 7 64bit, and the rest win 7 32 bit. I can't manually install the drivers either. Says there are already up to date when i set a location for the drivers to detect...I can't even use it as mass storage.

To try using different drivers you would need to uninstall the current driver.
And just to be sure, you didn't flash to CM7/MIUI recently, not realizing Samsung drivers won't recognize your phone anymore, right? Nexus S drivers for those ROMs.
Its on the original ROM i think. Recently bought it second hand, 1 year old.
I couldn't find different drivers...except 32 bit and 64bit, but they all are the same version. Maybe post a link or something. Mine are 1.4.4.

Just for future reference, this site is filled with tutorials on how to do just that. In fact, that is what this site is all about—new ROMs, new ideas, and how to get them onto your device. Look around next time.

Dude i'm not the kinda of guy that doesn't research first. Like i mentioned i tried everything i found with no effect. The thing is, the problem reappeared after a day, with the new rom. Took it back to the service, said its a virus from some apps i installed...Is it possible? Thing is, it worked even after i restored all my apps.
I couldn't change the rom either because neither Odin or Heimdall saw my phone, if that is what you reffered to. If you know how to resoft a phone without the pc recognizing it (not even as a composite USB device in download mode or debugmode) and just Showing in Odin or Heimdall "Unknown Device" and failed at installing ClockworkMod, be my guest and redirect me to the tutorial, or tell me how to do it.
Thx

Throw it against the wall then. You ask us for help, disregard all of it, and then update us on what the service desk told you. If you will only listen to them, then don't ask us, kay? Appreciated.
Hi, there.
Actully, the rahbert's question is not bad. How can i use Mobile Odin if i can't root the device?
Or, how can I root without PC? Is it possible? I have exactly the same problem:
Nexus S (I9020), ICS 4.0.4(stock). When I plug the device: the error is reported(Code 43).
Should I try wipe data/factory reset? I really don't want to do this, because there is another good question: How can I fully backup my data(Titanium and so on) without root access? Can you suggest me something? Thanks.
