[Q] Kies won't connect to phone

Hi Guys,
Just switched over from iPhone 3GS to S2 but am having slight teething problems.
I would like to connect to Kies so I may upload my contacts from outlook on to the S2 but the status is stuck on connecting with a circle spinning next to it on kies.
I uninstalled kies, reinstalled it. Running version 2.0.2.11071_128. Rebooted the pc many times and each time I open kies trying to connect the status is stuck on connecting.
I installed drivers thru kies but to no avail. The pc won't even recognise the phone as a usb storage device and doesn't list it under my computer.
All I get is a window popup which says mtp error ivc or something like that.
Help...
I had that exact same MTP problem with my S8500. Did everything I could do, but none worked. Finally it got solved after installing Win 7 x64/x86. I know that sounds crazy but all I know is that.
Regards.

You don't say what your PC is running.
maybe try a full windows update then re-install Kies ?
I have Win XPon my desktop and Win 7 on my laptop.
I've installed same version of Kies on both of my computers.
XP doesn't recognise MTP device, but Win7 does.
I think maybe it's driver problem. There's Windows Driver Kit on Microsoft's website. I didn't try it, already using Kies on Win7.
Who else have driver issues, maybe could try driver kit and feedback?!
I have the Win XP Pro and Win 7 Home Premium X64.
After I install the Kies, everything works fine.
You may try to uncheck USB Debugging under Settings -> Applications -> Development. I am not sure if it can help you. However, Kies cannot connect to my GS II when I checked USB Debugging.
If you want to import your contacts into your GS II, I recommend you should import them into your gmail. (I do believe that importing contacts into gmail is a better method for the Android users)
I found an article on importing contacts into gmail.
(Sorry that I can't post the outside link here. You may search "Outlook contact to gmail" in Google. The first link should help you.)
After importing the contacts into your gmail, you can sync the contacts between your phone and your gmail.
Hope that I can help you!
On Windows remove MTP driver and reinstall without kies (plug SGS2, wait)
try to connect with debugging USB ON, the OFF (it is working when USB debug , bug )

drivers for windows 8 dp

Hi guys, i'm trying to re-root my phone (had to take it in for service so i had to unroot it and all that jazz), but i can't get a correct adb driver. i searched everywhere and all i could find were drivers for windows 7, but i am running the new windows 8 developer preview and I cant find the drivers for "Motorola ADB Interface"
I installed the android SDK and used the google drivers but it didnt work, and i downloaded and installed the motorola driver database thing, but it doesnt work with the new windows and halfway through it says "Installer does not recognize your version of windows"
does anybody have a .inf or .ini file that i can direct the device manager to that is specifically for the atrix. I cant find anything anywhere or know where i can get one?
thanks
anybody? at all
You are using an as yet unreleased operating system. If you want stuff to work, go back to a previously released version like Windows 7.

Driver Issue Windows 7 and Vibrant

I am running windows 7 pro 64 bit and I have a Samung Galaxy S Vibrant through Bell.
Just wondering if anyone has some insight for me regarding drivers and Windows 7.
I have tried 4 different driver sets, uninstalled between each of them rebooted each time. I still cannot load a driver for my phone.
The phone shows up under hardware with the problem icon and when I try to force it to look at a folder (for example: program files/SAMSUNG/USB drivers/), it still says there is no driver for my phone in that directory or subdirectories.
I have tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit samsung official driver packs, and the XDA driver pack.
Thank you in advance

Well I have solved my issue.
Apparently after updating my phone to ICS, Windows 7 'sees' it as a Nexus S phone instead of a Galaxy S, even though in the device manager it still says GT-I9000.
I used the drivers located on this page:

I am now able to use my phone for development again!

[Q] CyanogenMod 11 -> Eclipse/ADB not detecting YP-G1 device

Howdy.
I recently updated my YP-G1 from CM10 to CM 11 [4.4.2]. I need to use my device for Android app development (and have used it before way back when it was on stock, but haven't used it in a very long time), but am unable to get ADB/Eclipse to detect that there is a device detected. Using the emulator is not an option at this point, as I need to do some work with a real camera.
I've got the Android USB debugging enabled on the device, and the little notification that debugging is enabled comes up when I plug it in.
Things I've tried:
1) Update Eclipse/ADT (complete uninstall + reinstall)
2) Update Google USB Driver (from SDK manager)
3) Update Samsung Kies
4) Google
The only related forum thread that I've located for this situation is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776828, which just implies that Windows should be auto-detecting the device. Windows is not doing that.
I have noticed that the YP-G1 drivers do not show up as installed under Device Manager. Perhaps that is the source of the problem? I have not been able to rectify that situation via Kies, so I am unsure. Kies doesn't even detect that the device is connected!
If it matters, I'm running on Windows 8.
Thanks much.
P.S. -- I'd post in the CM11 thread, but since I just registered, I am not allowed to do so, unfortunately.
Edit: I got mine to work finally. I solved my issue by allowing windows to automatically search windows updates for drivers. After I did that it found them and it worked, so try that.
I too am having this issue and it's really bugging me. I've tried everything I can possibly think of but I cannot get the drivers to install. I'm using windows 7 64 bit and it sees the YP-G1 but it doesn't have the drivers so things like kies and adb won't detect it. Any solution would be very helpful.
Strange...that's what the thread I linked to suggested. I've tried that multiple times to no avail. Perhaps Windows 8 doesn't find it, while 7 does for some reason? I've tried doing searches via both Device Manager and Windows Update.
Could you perhaps upload the driver files it found? You should be able to figure out what/where those are by using Device Manager, then right click the YP-G1 and go to Properties, then the driver tab, then driver details. Maybe they'll work on Windows 8 as well as 7. I might try plugging my device into someone else's computer to see if somehow mine is just acting stupid.
Thanks for your reply!
Edit: I've plugged my device into another computer. You're right -- on Windows 7, it can find the drivers just fine. On Windows 8, it can't. Go figure. Now to figure out where to get those files and/or how to get the device recognized..... (??)

[Guide] Flashing Galaxy Ace with Mac Computers

Background
I recently dug out Galaxy Ace from my desk. Good to know that dust didn't piled up!
So I tried to turn it on, forgetting that I soft-bricked it long before. I saw yellow triangle, in middle of dots connecting PC and a phone.
So just becoming curious, I tried to connect my MacBook Pro and see whether Kies detects it or not. Obviously, it didn't.
Since I had bootcamp that allows me to boot Windows 10 on MacBook Pro, I booted Windows 10 and connected it. Computer showed up with a message "USB Device Not Recognized"
I tried VMWare Player on Windows 10, but it didn't work either.
I thought I had to run to thrift store to get a cheap Windows XP computer (It would not that practical to investigate the money exceeding the price of Galaxy Ace, right? Since any cheap single-core Windows XP computer would do its job to recover my Galaxy Ace, thrift store would be the best choice). But I found the solution.
Instructions
Things You Need:
- Galaxy Ace, obviously
- A computer with any version of macOS supporting newest VirtualBox (linux might work, but never tried personally.)
- VirtualBox and extension pack: Grab it from Here
- USB cable
- Odin Multi Downloader and Cooper.ops: Grab it from Here
- Galaxy Ace Stock ROM: Be careful not to flash S5830i firmware!
- Windows XP (You need to obtain it for yourself, from ebay, old computer's recovery disc, or etc...)
1. Install VitrualBox on macOS. I didn't tried Windows version of VirtualBox, but since Windows 10 showed a message that it failed to recognize USB device and VMWare did not work, it is not likely to work. I will try Windows version of VirtualBox and tell about any updates.
2. Open VirtualBox and install Windows XP. Install guest add-ons and enable drag and drop from host to guest.
3. Install VirtualBox Extension Pack. It will enable the guest system to support USB 2.0, which is essential to support Galaxy Ace download mode.
4. Install Samsung Driver on Virtual Machine. Also, drag and drop Odin and stock ROM, as well as ops file to the virtual machine.
5. Put your Galaxy Ace to download mode and connect it to computer. Click the USB icon on the VirtualBox and select MSM7x27.
6. Run Odin and load ops file. Your Galaxy Ace will show up.
7. Load stock ROM file to odin by clicking either "one package" (In case of one package) or "Boot","Phone", "PDA", "CSC" sections.
8. Click "Start"!
9. Your Galaxy Ace will be restored to Stock ROM.
