[Q] How to get kies working again after installing custom rom? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
After installing Alienware rom kies doesn't connect anymore,
i have pushed new kiesair.apk kieswifi.apk and libKiesDataRouter.so
and kies still will not connect to the device.
Im wondering if there are any more files i need, or settings to get kies to work with my current rom? or if i need to set something up?
Thanks,

What do you use kies for? I never use it.

you may need the MtpApplication.apk to get it working.. make sure that the USB debugging is unchecked if you want to use kies...

Thanks for the reply, i tried also pushing a new MtpApplication.apk and its still not working, although it attempts to connect, i get an error message that some service was unable to be started on the device.

possible solution
Hi !
Digging some old thread here, i was stuck with the same problem, how to restore a KIES backup to a non samsung ROM.
As far as I know, there are third party tools that can deal with your problem.
For example, you can try mobiletrans (google that), it can save and restore a lot of stuff from mobile to mobile or from a KIES backup, but it isn't brand specific.

Can anybody provide me nandroid backup of your phone
Coz i hav lost my backup and want to get bck to stock rom
Kdz not working for me
seems no one interested to help
For nandroid backup, you need to have custom recovery up and running. If you have that then, just download one of the custom Roms like void and flash it..

nandroid backups also contain contacts and messages and stuff so people will be relucant to provide you with one. You can try by flashing a basic rom that has no modifications, for example, amber rom which was the first for our phone, and then flash the sapps package from void. If you want to take the phone to warranty services then modify the build.prop to remove the name of "amber rom" and then unroot.
Sometimes phone doesnt get detected by kdz updater in emergency mode...u have to try many times.

There was a Nand backup of official rom floating around in o1 section, a few months back. May be you can search for it.
If somebody takes some pain, it can be done without any private info. A person having a Nand backup of official rom can restore it first. Then one has to do factory reset. And then finally a Nand backup of this factory reset rom.
This last Nand backup then can be uploaded and shared with others. This will not contain any private info.
I will try to do it in a day or too. If somebody else can volunteer to help, he is most welcome.

is it not possible to flash with a 2.2 rom then update with lg pc suite.?
what i mean to say it is that flash with a firmware 2.2 eg. devoid franco then connect to lg pc suite and click update it 'll update because the android version will be 2.2 at that time..
i guess it is possible...
upon updating it will automatically update it to the latest version of the stock ofcourse!!!
no need for all this and this will save you quite a time too..

did you ever used usb tethering to connect to internet? if so ur system will install the lg usb modem driver automatically and kdz will not function properly or it may not recognize ur phone at all.first download LGMobile support tool. please go to device manager and uninstall the usb modem driver (all of them, uninstall nokia/sony Ericson pc suites etc). then uninstall the lg usb driver. restart ur computer. reinstall the lg usb driver using LGMobile support tool (this will give you most updated drivers). now restart and run kdz.this has worked for me.please turn off all kind of pc protection applications like firewalls, antivirus suites, registry protection applications, all kind of browsers and torrent applications etc.

Little question about CM10

Hello Guys ,
i just would like to ask you that if I installed cm 10 can I go back to stock ics
or i can't because downgrade might damage my device.
Thanks & Best Wishes
You can go back anytime you want. Take a Nandroid backup before you flash. Good luck!
And if you don't have nandroid backup you can always download the stock firmware from sammobile .com and flash via Odin
I've done this successfully to fix some issues I was having. :good:

Yes windows explorer and in MY Computer.Also will not connect to Kies.
Just to cover the obvious, did you go into SETTINGS > STORAGE and click the 3 dots at the top right corner of the screen which will show "USB computer connection". Click that and then check the box for "Media device (MTP)". Then try connecting your tablet to the computer.

Are you sure your friend didn't delete the rom after installing it on your device? Installing a rom should not delete the file from your computer since that whole operation takes place on the tablet unless you push it from the computer. Did your friend flash the rom in recovery or do something different?
Re: the Kies issue, this has come up in many threads before. You can try reinstalling Kies to see if its a bad USB driver. Some ppl have said tho that you need to revert to stock in order for Kies to recognize the device...it might take even that. If you're willing to start fresh and flash stock firmware to find out that is a choice you can make

[Q] What's Going On with Multi-Window?

In the commercials and promos it shows apps like Chrome, Gmail, and Youtube working in multiwindow but there's no way to add new apps to the multi window on the Verizon Note II. Is there a way to fix this? Or is a fix coming officially soon?
There are ways if you are rooted. Otherwise, there will probably be an official fix soon.
Probably before the end of the month. AT&T and US Cellular already have the update, maybe even T Mobile as well.
Verizon always sucks at updating their devices.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 unable to turn on wifi.

Hi, my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3.
My device is bought in Singapore.
Its my first time rooting my device.
Ran into a problem that I couldn't turn on my wifi anymore. (tried wifi fixer app and turning airplane mode on and off)
I have successfully rooted my device as verified with the Root Checker App.
I have downloaded all the files from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330598
I should done all steps correctly.
After I have done those steps, I downloaded Simons_JB_Rom_v100_based_on_AMH1.zip
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374899
Transferred it into my phone then I proceeded on installing the Custom ROM.
I've backed up my stuffs through the the recovery.
I have reset my phone to factory settings, wiped the cache partition, wiped Delvik cache.
I did a restart but i did not see any "Yellow exclamation logo".
After all, I proceeded on to install the ROM.
I cant turn on my wifi from now on. I've tried to download the "Wifi Fixer" app but it wont work.
I got a feeling that I have not erased my previous stock ROM but I proceeded on to installing the custom ROM.
Any kind souls out there who can help me or give me some links that I could refer to?
Thank you in advance! :fingers-crossed:

You need to do a complete wipe and install a stock rom and verify if the phone works. If it does then start again with rooting etc. If not return it for a replacement or repair.

Just install the custom Rom over the top of the old one, no need to do factory reset or wipe anything. The custom roms are based on stock anyway.
Try that and see how it goes.

I have same problem like you, and I finally fail back to stock rom of my region. Then get the root access and delete all bloatware.
So any update of your case, maybe we have the same root cause
I know that this thread is very old but I didn't want to make a new topic on something that was similiar to the problem I was having, apoliges if making a new thread was the right thing. I just really need you all's help.
I'm in need of some assistance.
I have my Galaxy Mega on Metro Pcs. Woke up today and decided to root it or at least ( attempt ) to root it myself. I looked up a couple tutorials and eventually did it. BUT, due to me being inexperienced I didn't make a "backup" of anything.
So now, I'm stuck with a Galaxy Mega that seems to be rooted on another platform other than Metro's. I also am unable to use the Wifi feature, and it seems that I can't transfer files via USB - PC
I tried reverting my mistake but I don't think I'm flashing the right thing. Can someone please guide me in the right direction as to flashing this Mega back to the way it was. I don't want to bother with the root anymore, I just want the phone back to the way it was.
I'd really appreciate any help you gentlemen could give me.
