[Q] Phone not supported in Kies 2.0 - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I get this error message when connecting via USB that the phone is not supported by Kies 2.0 and the phone is brand new and completely stock. Should I return it?

Can you see the phone in your windows explorer or similar, the phone and SD card storage?
If no, then it is more likely a driver issue. Download and install the S3 Toolkit from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290 and follow the instructions to install the drivers. If all goes well then there is no issue with the phone. Not used Kies but if the drivers install properly then you shoudl be able to see it in Kies.
In all honesty, I would not bother with Kies. The way to go is once you root (if you inted to) is to just do nandroid backups to your microsdcard. That way if anything happens when away from your computer you can easily rectify it.
If you decide not to use Kies then remember to remove it from your computer before using S3 Toolkit as it can cause conflicts.

Kies and the drivers work just fine with my i9300. And I can read and write internal and external. And Odin works perfect...
So why not Kies? Even tried reinstalling and a clean Windows 7 install with only Kies installed. And my i9300 worked just fine on all the others but not my i9305.

Are you saying that the I9305 is picked up by odin and you can see the phone in Windows or are you referring to the 9300?
Have you tried the drivers from S3 Toolkit? I do not have kies here and it is removed from my phone so cannot test it. Actually, what rom are you running? Perhaps the rom has the Kies stuff removed?
Have you enabled USB Debugging?

I'm saying that it all works just not Kies with my I9305. Everything else is working 100% and I've tried USB debugging on and off. Even considered flashing another firmware but can't find a NEE or the TLA my phone came with.

Ah ok, well in that case I cannot see there being an issue with the phone at all. Just a Kies issue somewhere or possibly an issue with the rom but still do not think it justifies getting it replaced as you know the USB interface works.

I've emailed Samsung last night.let's see what they say...
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

Got the phone exchanged and it's working fine now.
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

I got the same problem with a new Samsung Galaxy S III 4G (GT-I9305)... do i have to return it and get another one ?

I had to, mine had an error. But yours might not have the same error, have you tried uninstalling KIES, deleting the Samsung folder in documents and then reinstall?

Yep, i just installed win 7 x64, then installed KIES, did the update, connected the phone to pc via usb cable and i get a driver error message. "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" shows with ! in device manager.
I have uninstalled KIES, cleaned up the PC with ccleaner, installed: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1590.
Reboot PC and phone, no luck.
Then tried to point them manually from C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\USB Drivers and C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers still no luck.
I downloaded KIES from Samsung website under the phone software section and still nothing.

After uninstall delete Samsung folder in documents.
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

I had an i9305 international for 2 weeks and Kies said phone not supported, I sold it due to cell coverage issues in my area. Now I have an i9300 International and again Kies will not work with it. Is there a different version of Kies for international phones? I am in the US.

Did that too.
Disconected every usb device i had plugged in, tried every usb port, and with debugging e/d ... it's driving me nuts.
Can it be a hardware problem ?
When i put it in download mode the pc detects it.
I have stock firmware XXALI5
SOLUTION to my problem:
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 2 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect

Was just about to ask if you had backed the IMEI and forgot to put it back, since I saw your picture and it said Qualcomm and not Samsung.

Tried reinstalling Kies and all, it did not work. Then called Samsung and they said that I need to send the phone to them for a software update. My old firmware was LI5 and the phone is stock.
What I did was, downloaded the latest carrier firmware from samfirmware and flashed it with Odin. Now no more problems with Kies and phone is not stated as modified. Still all original. Firmware now LI9.
Hope that helps
Saved me the hassle sending the phone to Samsung.

[Q] Going absolutely crazy with Kies, keeps connecting but never actually does.

2 weeks ago I got a galaxy s. Installed Kies and it worked fine. However that sgs broke so I backed up my contacts (via Kies). Yesterday I got a new galaxy s and connected it to my pc (via the Samsung Kies mode) and the Kies software responded. Kies started and says in the top right corner it is connecting ('Connecting device. Please wait.' free translated).
However it doesn't actually get connected I went away for an hour to get some food and when I came back it still says 'Connecting device...'.
Mass Storage and Media Player modes work fine. However I need to connect to Kies via the Samsung Kies mode in order to restore my contacts and to update my firmware. I know there is a lot of information about this on the internet. But I seriously tried everything I found on google, but nothing works. It keeps saying 'Connecting device...'. Can anyone help me?
Please excuse me for my (perhaps) bad English. It isn't my native language.
Kind regards,
me
I had this issue myself yesterday when I updated Kies. For me the problem was the USB drivers installed by the Kies update. After installing the ones at <hxxp://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86-Download-96692.html> and rebooting (yes this step was necessary) Kies was able to successfully connect to the device.
Not sure if that'll help for you; good luck!
V (who really shouldn't still be fecking around with a might-as-well-be-bricked SGS at 2am...)
From your SGS home screen go Menu>Settings>SD card and phone storage
You will see External and Internal SD card, you need to unmount the INTERNAL SD CARD and then format it.
This should allow you to connect with Keis.
Remember if your using any other launcher than the samsung one it won't work! ie no launcher pro
i just dumped KIES all together
i use Android Manager WiFi instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
easy to use, no trouble like KiES
For me the easiest thing to do was simply to shut down Kies completely, making sure it won't reload when connecting the SGS to usb. Then you connect the phone to usb and after the computer finds the phone you can load Kies and it'll succesfully find the SGS. Atleast it works every single time for me.

Well for a starter I am having trouble with my wireless router. And besides that I really need Kies for the importation of my contacts, it seems they are stored in some sort of Kies file.

Nope, doesn't work.
there is an Android Manager for USB version as well if you don't like the WiFi version
Android Manager also handles contacts sync with outlook, files sync with PC, Apps sync install, etc
I believe that his issue is that he has saved his contacts and info to his version of Kies already and he cannot retreive it to try some of these other methods.
Unfortunately I am just a noob myself but I guess if there is a way to save the information to another program or to the computer itself first then I would do that and then try one of these other programs.
Is it possible to somehow retrieve the info from Kies and put it on the computer and then upload it to Android Manager so it can be reinstalled onto the phone?
Hope this question makes sense...
I solved all my problems with Keis, changing de COM PORT
I solved all my problems with Keis, changing de COM PORT to 50.
How I do that ?
In -> Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers
there must be a device called GT-I9000
Right click -> properties -> Select Hardware -> then select -> Samsung Android USB Modem #... -> click button properties -> in the tab General select button "change settings" -> select tab "Advanced"- > then button "Advanced port Settings" -> then choose another PORT.
good luck
Wow, this worked! I changed port number and finally Kies can connect. I have been trying everything for a month! Thank-you!
it worked for me too on port 50
thank you mate
while i was reading this topic i thought.. oh well lets give it one more try. lets try to get Kies working on my windows 7 ultimate 32bit. I have the phone 1,5 month now and i was really giving up on getting Kies working but felt bad about it because rumours say that Froyo will be distributed through Kies so that piece of ****ty software looks actually important in that way xD
anyway. i gave it another shot today
i started with dismounting my internal SD card and re-mount it. yay ! finally windows see's the drivers and the phone !!
step 2: i changed the port of the modem to port 50
step 3: i started running Kies and it worked !!
thanks a lot for the good tip on changing the port
oh and btw: for everybody who had the same problem as i did [ phone wasnt even going into samsung Kies mode..]
DISABLE LAUNCHERPRO !!! with launcherpro running u cant get into download mode

This worked for me as a charm. I think if this doesn`t work for some people, then it might be because they did not kill Kies from the system tray, they just closed it with the [x] at the top. Check the system tray to make sure it is also killed there.
Finally! Worked for me too!
Thanks

On my desktop PC, the phone connects to Kies with no problem. On my laptop, which has the EXACT same Windows 7 (installed from the same disc), it is a no-go. I tried this solution which seems to work for most people. But, after I select "change settings", there is NO Advanced tab, which means I cannot change the advanced Port settings. Help! Thank you!
jimmykahn,
I have the same problem as you, ie there is no Advanced tab after clicking Change Settings.
Very much appreciate if anyone can give guidance as the port change method of connecting with Keis sounds promising.

Step 1 - Swear upon someone you love most that no more Samsung product for you...
Perform following steps and it will work..
Download latest kies from Samsung website
Install it (if already there is a version installed then you can avoid these two steps)
Go to Update option in Kies and update to latest version.
Restart the machine..
Do Driver Recovery in Kies
Connect SGS in Mass Media Mode and download the file from below post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9066027&postcount=17
Run this file and find all long names file from SGS
Delete all of them..
Remove SGS and connect again in Kies mode.
It will connect and detect
If it do not then delete USB driver directory from Program Files - Samsung Folder
Go in Program File - Samgung -Kies - USB Drivers and install it again.
Restart
Connect and check..
Last Step - repeat Step 1
Thanks this is amazing.

[Q] Problem with 2.2 upgrade [SOLVED]

I'm having some problems upgrading my wife's phone. I went to the website with the upgrade instructions, downloaded Kies mini, and installed all of the drivers for the phone. I put the phone in usb debugging mode and plugged it in, but Kies doesn't see the phone. I tried messing around with some settings (i don't remember what I did) and it worked one time. And the one time it did work, it said something like unsupported device and the upgrade phone button was greyed out. I've tried searching everywhere for an answer to no avail. I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Did you use the USB port on the back of the PC?
No, I used one of the ports on the front
What sort of configuration was the phone running before you tried the update. Any customization? Rooted?
no customizations, unrooted
Make sure in the USB setting it of set to Kies (Fireware Update). This is under settings/applications

I did that. when I did switch it to kies, it said I had to turn off debugging mode. After i switched it to kies mode, i turned debugging back on. Should I not have done that?

May I ask why did you put the phone in debugging mode? You don't need to. You should do what Viper 714 suggested. Have you ever used Kies before this attempt at updating the firmware?
Feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to assist you.

I have never used kies before this. I didn't think I needed it. The instructions says debugging mode should be enabled.
Captivate Froyo update crash and how to solve
Note my device is an ATT Samsung Captivate S SGHi897
Kies would crash on the update indicating a conflict AMINIFUS.EXE from the AMINIFUSREQLEV component. Also sometimes, kies would not present the upgrade screen althought KIES sees the device memory/drives.
Here's what fixed it for me.
On the device - go to settings / development turn ON USB debuging and turn ON Allow mock locations.
With KIES running - the Capivate USB screen may not appear when you connect your USB cable. But the upgrade screen KIES will appear and start your upgrade.
IF you have a external SD card - remove prior to the update. I was able to update with my external SD card installed but when the device rebooted the device screen would go to black AFTER the ATT and Capivate splash screens and appear to hang. I removed my external card - rebooted the Capivate and the device was able to work this the initial Froyo set up screens - then the external was fine.
Samsung is aware of this problem and fix is not widely known. I person I spoke with at Samsung only discovered this fix on his previous call.
Good luck everyone. Froyo is finally OH and lastly = ATT will be rolling out an over the air update for those who do not want to go through KIEs.
You should definitely remove your SIM and external SD before flashing any new firmware, as a matter of Due Diligence.
I'd give it a try first with it disabled.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that when the phone is not in debugging mode, the phone says it's connected to kies, but kies says no phone is connected

OK I'll try again when my wife gets home with the phone. would it be a good Idea to uninstall everything and start from the beginning?
I did it with usb debugging on. The important part id make sure your in Touchwiz. Otherwise keis will not see the phone.

did kies automatically see it or did you have do anything after you plugged in your phone?
I suggest using the full KIES application itself opposed to KIESmini.
If you do a quick google search (or even search the forums here) for KIES you will soon come across a download link for the full KIES application.
KIESmini has been known to have issues with 64bit operating systems. So check into that as well.
I run Win7 64bit and I could not get KIESmini to work. It would crash (stopped responding error) every time the device was connected. So I downloaded the full KIES application and the problem was solved... Everything updated fine.

Unless you modify the built in Access database for Kies, it will not recognize the i897 as a supported device.
Back when I used to check for updates with Kies Mini frequently I always had trouble getting the phone to talk to Kies Mini. What I found worked the best is as follows:
1. Restart the PC
2. Restart the Phone
3. Disable Bluetooth on the phone if it is enabled
4. Put the phone in "Kies (Firmware update)" mode in Settings | Applications | USB Settings
5. Plug the phone into a USB port on the computer that is not on a root hub shared by any other devices (especially a keyboard or mouse).
6. Launch Kies Mini
Step 5 is very important because the phone must negotiate a USB 2.0 connection. I found that steps 1 & 2 were almost always necessary, without a clean boot on both devices, I frequently had problems. Step 3 seemed to help, though sometimes I could get the phone to connect to Kies Mini with Bluetooth enabled. I was able to get it to connect in either Kies "Firmware Update" mode, or USB debug mode. The documentation may specify USB debug mode because Bluetooth has to be disabled for USB debug mode.
I think I got it!! I uninstalled everything. Then I just did what everyone said. Used the back of the PC, made sure the phone what kies mode, with debugging, and mock locations, removed sim card and sd card...but then kies kept crashing. Then I found another post somewhere that said to uninstall IE9. I did that and now its finally working! Thanks yall for your help.
anyway I can add solved to the title?

[Q] No connection to Kies since update to JVO

Hello,
since I updated to JVO Firmware i cannot connect to kies anymore.
I need to restore my contacts.
I already tired a few things:
-Unmount SD Card
-Format internal sd card
-Reinstalled Kies and USB drivers
PDA: XXJVO
Phone: XXJVO
CSC: OXAJVO (DBT)
If somebody could help than that would be great.
Thanks
USB must be a mainboard connection .
Remove Kies download latest Kies .
Remove all USB drivers of that port with USBDeview .
Install Kies connect phone mass storage mode and let windows find drivers exit and load Kies .
jje
That should work.. just remember, Kies is garbage and it may take several tries... make sure debuggins off
Nope.
Exactly did it like you said JJEgan.
After I installed Kies I connect the phone in mass storage mode (kies not running), right? (of course before i deleted all usb devices with the program)
Then I disconnect again. Switch to Samsung Kies mode and start Kies right? Then after Kies is runnning I conenct my phone.
The Strange thing is there is this windows sound of "Connected" and "Disconnected". But after this there is no "connected" sound again?!
Annother idea how i can get it fixed? Sorry but Kies is really garbage.
by any chance are you using a custom launched, like launcherpro or awlauncher?
cause if you are kies will never sync with your device. so you will need to use stock launcher ( TWlauncher ) and try to connect again via Kies
if not then im clueless
good luck
I found out that the Problem was FuguRoot!!!
Unfortunately it still does not work by copying the 2 files onto the phone.
Maybe of the version difference. I have XXJVO_XXJVO_OXAJVO and in the other thread it says KVO_JVO_JVO (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010141&page=7)
Unfortunately I cannot post in this thread. Can somebody ask for me for the JVO_JVO_JVO version? Thanks
Hey RorixRebel ,
thanks for your suggestion.
I am not using any extra launcher.
But mabe it is not only the FuguRoot but also something else.
Because my dad can also not connect to Kies and he has NOT the FuguRoot.
First I want to try to copy the correct 2 files to my phone and see if this will fix it.
Thx
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Today I am a little bit quick with writing posts.
It worked after a restart of Kies and my Phone. Haha
Thanks so much for the help.
Now I will try fixing my dads Phone.
Problem Solved
My phone had the fuguroot and missed 2 files that are necessary to connect to Kies (still looking how to undo the fuguroot). If you follow the link above then you can get the 2 missing files from that thread.
My dads phone just had USB Debugging activated. Thats why it didn't work.
Thanks for your help again.

[Q]

Well, my problem is that my phone won't recognize any computer as a computer, but only as a source for battery charging. when i plug it into a computer the battery starts charging but i don't get the USB sign.
the thing is that it used to work. i usually just pluged the phone in and it would work, and suddenly out of the blue it stopped working and i have no idea why. i've done nothing on the computer between the last time it worked and the time it stopped working, i wasn't even using the computer during that time, so it must be something on the phone settings, but i checked it a little and found nothing that looks like the problem, but i rly don't understand much about it..
any ideas?
It sounds like a driver issue.
If you're using a Samsung firmware, reinstall the drivers. This can be done by finding them online, or by installing Kies. If you're using CM7/Miui, Samsung drivers won't work. You'll need to uninstall Kies (or kill the process to make sure it's not running in Task Manager) and then install the Nexus S drivers. Again, a simple search will provide the files you need.
If it's not a driver issue, I really don't know what it could be. But I would definitely try reinstalling the appropriate drivers first.
Go to Settings>Applications>Development and if USB debbugging is flagged,deflag it!

Try to reinstall Kies or one of the steps that I've read here:

Translated:
Make sure you have installed the latest version of Kies (currently 2.0.1).
For owners of Windows Vista / Seven Kies launch in admin mode
Connect your phone to your PC using the default launcher from Samsung (TouchWiz)​​. Alternative launcher may not be recognized by Kies. Close any programs in the background on your phone and PC.
Make sure that in Settings> Wireless and Networking> USB Settings is selected Samsung Kies or Ask the connection.
If you already selected, try to choose any item and then set one of the two mentioned.
Try using another USB port on PC. Not all USB ports may be able to deliver the power needed to power the device.
Restart both the phone and your PC.
Try reinstalling the drivers of the Galaxy. To do this open Kies, go to the Tools menu and then install drivers.
Try using another USB cable.
ok, I tried everything but switching cable coz i know it works...
here's the weird thing: I tried connecting my phone to 3 different computers, 1 worked and the other 2 (including mine) didn't work.
the thing is that the other computer that didn't work and the computer that did work never touched a Samsung before, so basicaly i have no idea what would make one of them work and the other not to work.
I'm really confused.
Try going into device manager and see if there are any devices flagged with '!'
If not, find your samsung device from device manager, and uninstall it and delete all drivers, then reinstall them.
Try that. It may just be a windows issue, I've had similar problems before but not even with a phone, but a flash drive.
well, tonight the computer restarted itself because of some updates, now it seems to magicaly work, even though i restarted it before.
i have no idea y it suddenly started working, but i can only hope it wouldn't happen again.
thank you all, you guys are great!

[Q] Kies and LPY (ICS 4.0.3) USB problems?

I turned off usb debugging, but the mass storage I can't turn off: I have to choose between MTP and PTP.
I upgraded Kies to the latsest version, unfortunately no connection.
I tried Kies via Wifi and it works, fine for me.
BUT I prefer Kies via USB. Is there anybody else with the same problem and can help me?
Neither works for me.
Waiting for solution.

Once you have done as above just pop in your USB cable and click connect.

Were you able to connect to Kies? I can't. I am not talking about USB mass storage mode, but I want to connect PC Kies with my phone and ever since LPY upgrade I can't. I have stock rom, no root and CWM or anything like that. The PC finds the device GT-N7000, and it works fine in explorer, but Kies can not connect to the phone. It stays in connecting and then it says that there was an error connecting to the device.
Anyone else with LPY that can not connect to Kies for PC?

Me the OP
I am also unable to connect to KIES since performing the ICS update ( via mobile Odin ). I tried USB debug on or off and also Wireless and Network settings different combinations... no go...
Waiting for ideas..
I have just updated Kies and apparently is working.
Date of update appears to be today, 14/05/2012, version 2.3.1.12044_18.
I only use kies to make backups and restore them, but this software is somewhat buggy.

I have exactly the same version of Kies and I can not connect to it with USB cable.
I removed my version of Kies (version 2.3.1.12044_18) and restarded my computer.
After this I re-downloaded Kies (version 2.3.1.12044_18) and installed it today.
Unfortunately....
I don't understand that some can connect to Kies and some not. I hope there will be an explanation.

Hopefully it will work with the next ICS update from Samsung, or with the next Kies update.

I hope so, thanks.
I have a solution:
Flash it with [ROM] RocketROM v4.1 - ICS - LPY [Update 06/06] - 15 Toggle / Dark Theme / CRT Off fix + Speedmod kernel
After this I can connect via USB to Kies. Good luck!
I responded to an other thread here which has a similar situation as you have...
anyway, what you should do is completely uninstall kies.. when I say completely, I mean removing it thru the registries (of your computer), folders in Program files or Program files x 86... After removing it, reinstall it again, uncheck and recheck usb debugging in your Phone's settings.
Check if Kies will recognize your phone after... It may take a bit while.. but it will I'm sure, also unplug and re-plug your USB cable to different usb ports on your computer and check which one will automatically connect and detect with your phone.
If your using a PC, it's advisable you plug your phone at the back of your PC (where I think there's a USB port in there), it gives a much stronger signal than the one at the front of your tower or desktop.
Hope this helps...
