You need to make sure that usb debugging is off. That being said, Kies sucks big time. If you want to use Kies try the wireless version seems to be a bit better.

There's a update to Kies available. I went to use it last night & a big update came through ?

Phone not syncing to kies in the 1st place!!
My phone doesn't want to connect to kies, it's written connected on the phone but still gives the connecting to device msg on kies on the PC, kept waiting and waiting, but nothing!
I tried with usb debugging method, the storage medium could be read. But no way with Kies!!!
What's wrong?? Please advice me what to do?

Install latest Kies .
jje

As has been suggested try the wireless version also make sure the phone is connected before you open Kies.
Is there some setting in your phone preventing Kies from connecting.
I've only got my S2 a few days so I'm not really into it yet.
I find that Kies is very very slow in connecting.Seems to take forever but it was quite fast over Bluetooth.

I'm also havin same problem but in my case I cant upgrade firmware via Wifi...
Actually I lost my data cable (though ordered a new one today) but yesterdar a new version of kies came and when connected via wifi ... the upgrade firmware window popped up...
but when I tried upgrading it downloaded some components (Preparing firmware ...) and then on my phone I saw tht its already disconnected n after a few sec an error came up (in kies) saying "FirmwareUpdate has stopped working" .... Interestingly kies application keeps running after this error but disconnected... I've google a lot on this but no luck (I thnk most of d ppl pref to upgrade it via usb and not wifi) ...
Also tried reinstalling kies and "factory reset" phone but no avail.
Plz help as i deadly need this upgrade (as my battery's draining very heavily on wifi.. may be this upgrade improves smthng... )

Had the exact same problem after installing the latest Kies version 2.0.2.
I just disconnected the USB , then did a reboot. It worked.
U could also try reinstalling the drivers. Tools -> Install driver
Since I updated Kies my phone isn't supported for firmware upgrades anymore. I have the DBT german stock Rom whenever I start Kies and connect my phone it's recognized but Kies tells me that it's "not supported for firmware upgrade".
Any ideas or help please?

problem with kies
Had this problem as well,but have now sorted it out..first uninstall kies and and the drivers folder which is separate to keis.. then go to samsung site for sg2, and down load kies from there, when you have reinstalled kies, then plug the usb
lead into your phone and it will reload the drivers, it solved the problem for me. .

Does your phone connect normally via USB to the computer ? completely uninstall and re-install via a fresh download of KIES. Clear your Temp, %Temp% and prefetch folders. Check if the cable is faulty or not. One of these is bound to help you.
I have tried reinstalling keis and done everything i can think of but nothing seems to help. Before the update of kies my phone used to be able to connect via usb like normal ever since the update its all gone to pot

First of all, I must say that KIES is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever seen. It is buggy and you must hope it will work eventually.
I got one successful with my old phone (galaxy 551) after updating via ODIN first to the correct firmware for my country.
But with my current Galaxy S2 I had to go to the repair center who used ODIN to get the right version on my phone.
I now have made KIES work on my windows 7 machine. I had to install the UK version (not the country version) and used the connection problem wizard to reinstall the drivers. Now it says I have the current version of my firmware.
To go back to your problem. It would help if you post which OS you are on and which version of the firmware you have currently installed ?
Also have you USB error detection off in the settings of your Galaxy S2 ?

Software update confirmation issue

Hi,
I´ve just installed stock ICS on my GS2 and whenever I try running the disclaimer for the software update and confirm that I "accept all the terms above" I get a "registering the device" msg for a couple of seconds and then a msg with an exclamation mark saying "software update - processing failed".
Any thoughts?
I have build IML74K, baseband I9100XXKP8, version 4.0.3. Before you ask I am connected to the wifi.
I moved to stock so that I could upgrade to 4.0.4 officially and now I cannot upgrade via phone or KIES (it does detect the phone but it says "your device does not support software upgrading via kies")
ok first u need more space on ur main drive on pc,and wen u faced updating pblm do a factory reset and u moved frm ics to stock and then kies says no update tht means the flashing was not good ,so again flash to stock an c if ur ,pda,modem,csc r all correct...then connect to kies if still facing prblm then install kies drivers in kies for phone....cheeerz
Would you happen to know if there are any 4.0.4 ODIN roms available out there?

[Q] How to update S3

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 white (my brother) which I can't seem to update via Samsung Kies.
I mean I have a Galaxy S3 red (mine) which I updated via kies and I don't know why I can't update this one.
Anyways, the Galaxy which I'm trying to update is on Android 4.0.4 ICS
When I connect the phone to the pc underneath where it says firmware information it's written: PDA:LE4 / PHONE:LE4 / CSC:LE4 (ORA) but yet no update button. I'm trying to update the phone to the latest version
*i've reinstalled kies several times!
anyone know how to resolve this or even better how to update the S3?

Thanks, Zanah F
Wow that’s an odd issue indeed
Hum that is an odd issue… your right when you plug in your phone Kies should read it go online and then download the update…
Make sure you’re computer is connected to the internet.
Check your USB debugging and switch it to the other setting to see if that can trip it into upgrading.
Reboot the phone and computer (if you have not already done so).
Try a different computer? (this shouldn’t effect it though… I don’t believe Kies is phone specific).
If you connect to Wi-Fi and then search for an update does it say that ones available?
Definitely an odd issue and you got me interested.
If you find out what is causing it then certainly come back and let me know.
