Can't update firmware via kies - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
something went wrong in the update I did to KE7:
after updating, the device showed some console and it was said "update aborted" if i remember right
i then restarted the device and plugged to the computer, and now kies doesn't know what firmware I have.
Is it ok? If not, what should I do?
thanks

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. .

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] Kies no longer sees my phone

As the title says, Kies no longer sees/detects my phone. Did the sammfiles/rooted update to my phone via odin and Kies wouldn't see the phone. Wiped the phone and forced an update via Kies with model number/serial number and afterward Kies still would not detect my phone. Any ideas?
Edited to remove the "task rom" comment. Got my devices mixed up

Have you tried to turn off debugging in the development section?
Yeah. Tried that. It's no biggie tho since I can still force updates if needed. Thanks for the reply.
Removing/Freezing/Uninstalling/Disabling etc... bloatware causes Kies not to work.
Installing CWM also causes Kies not to work. Because, in short, CWM replaced the factory recovery
I find that if I plug my USB cable into different ports on the front of my computer I get different results.. Might be worth a shot to try if you have more than 1 to choose from.
"Device Not Supported by Kies 2.0"
I've a similar problem. I ran Kies yesterday for the first time since the ICS update back in April and it began to update to a new version. After which it says, "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0"?! I've uninstalled and re-installed about 8 times today even the Samsung USB drivers and nothing! What's going on?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

it wouldn't work while i was rooted with gingerbread. i returned to stock and it worked fine. after that i was able to root after update thanks to creepyncrawly from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181 and it works fine now. if you go this route make sure to read the whole thread first. you have to get another kernal before wiping or you can brick your phone. im using siyah-v3.4.3-nonswap by ktoonsez and so far so good. not sure if you have to update to ucle5 for it to work but thats what i did. i havent had a chance to try other roms. hope this helps a little

For me. This is what worked. First go into device manager (on computer obviously)and remove the phone drivers currently installed.Next turn off usb debugging. Then plug your phone in to a different usb port. Let it do it's thing. Unplug, turn on usb debugging, plug back in.Let it do it's thing unplug. Reboot into cwm recovery, plug in. Let it do it's thing. Unplug. Turn off usb debugging. Boot up phone. Plug in. Profit. At least this is what fixed it for me.Good luck. Happy flashing.

[Q] Help - Tried 4.3 update on Sony Bridge for Mac - Now Bricked

So I downloaded bridge for Mac (same as PC Companion), plugged it in and it told me there was a new update to 4.3 (16GB Wifi). Great, I proceeded and followed all directions.
It went right to the end, then I got an update failed message. The Tablet will not turn on now. It simply says "System Update Failed, Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and try again". But no matter what, Bridge doesn't recognize the device because it can't/won't turn on.
I tried to repair it using the same program and that failed. It's stuck being completely off and flashing the message every 1-2 minutes or so. Anyway to get this thing even turned on?
Thanks for the help.

first thing to do would be to check if it shows up via ADB.
google how to install it, check you have the drivers installed, then run adb devices to see if it's connected.
this of course would be how you would do it on win but I'd be surprised if you couldn't run adb on a mac

Samsung S6 Edge to be rooted... but...

Hello there,
I am in the throws of trying to root my S6 edge (want to play using Magisk etc), but something just never happens when I try to do this through Odin.
I have the phone connected, everything seems fine with the file I am trying to use as an image, but nothing happens on the phone end at all. I get Succeeded 0 / Failed 0 as a response in Odin.
I have the drivers from Samsung installed. I even installed Kies. And I think this is where the problem is. I don't think the phone is being recognised. I have debug mode over USB on, but I just think the phone isn't being found by Odin.
Do any of you have some tips for me?

Please be sure that Kies is not running (even not in background) when you run Odin. It won't work then.
In the past I only installed Kies to get the Samsung drivers installed. Afterwards, I immediately uninstalled Kies in order to have no trouble with Odin, and anyway if I've Odin I've no personal need for Kies.

I didn't have Kies installed the first time, and nothing worked. But even with Kies, I still can not get the PC to recognise any device. It is frustrating, because as far as I can see I have done everything right.
No matter what I do, I can not get the S6 to appear in Odin at all.
Further to this, despite having the drivers installed from Samsung, freshly today, the USB fails to be recognised (this is the issue). So I need to work out how to overcome this. Any suggestions?
More precisely, in the Device Manager, under USB, the failed USB states: "Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)".
*Update*
I did a factory reset on the S6 and still, no good. The device doesn't want to connect to any port in any computer with any cable.
