This thread implies that European Galaxy Player is stuck on froyo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362386&page=3
Is that still the case for official updates?
I'm in the U.S. but unwittingly purchased a European version from amazon.
I posted a GB stock rom a long while ago for YP-G70 5.0 international. See if this is what you are looking for.
Are you using 5.0 or 4.0?
I'm using 5.0. Are there sound features missing from gingerbread international? I've seen some posts that say the sound quality sucks when upgrading.

You can update your device through kies:

I bought the Galaxy S wifi 5.0 last week with 2.2 Froyo installed and was able to upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread via Kies.
I bought my player about a month ago have used kies several times to load stuff on to the device, and it always tells me mine is upto date. Still have 2.2.2 on it, will check again today, as Samsung have just announced a new version in 4.2 screen size, and it comes already with gb on it. Are there any tricks to get kies to do an update or trick the phone into getting kies to do an update??
i just plugged my yp-g1 (eu) in to kies and it updated in 2.3 it has a update over air like all sensible samsung devices. first u have to change usb to kies in settings though

Hi
I am new to the site and want to upgrade to gingerbread BUT am having problems with both of my kids SGP 5.0.
I cannot get them to connect to kies at all.

Disclaimer: waiving responsibility. These are suggestions that worked for my device.

That said...
First, check if "USB Debugging" has a check by it under Settings->Applications->Development. It should NOT be checked.
Then, in Settings, under Wireless and Network, click on More... (your device might not have this step) and click on USB Settings. Kies should be clicked.
If it still doesn't connect...
[Note: you can drag and drop music, etc. directly into the device is you 1) check Mass Storage under USB Settings and 2) click the "Connect USB to Computer" when it appears (it might be under Notifications)
ASSUMING YOU'RE ON WINDOWS 7 (WinXP/Vista processes are a bit different)
Right-click that icon that looks liek a server with arrows going round and round in your System Tray. See status of drivers. If one failed, then that's your problem.
right-click My Computer and click on Manage
Go to Device Manager, then Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Check the status of the drivers by right-clicking and going into Properties.
If it gives you an option to fix it (or whatever), click it.
Otherwise, you might have to re-install the drivers. To do that, you'll need to uninstall the drivers first while the thing's plugged in. Then unplug and re-plug. It took me three tries for it to "get"
(actually, after this step on my device, I had to go back to properties, whereupon it showed the "fix (or whatever)" option under Properties and Driver Status.)
Good luck.

Make sure you have your usb settings in the phone to Kies or to ask when you plug in. If you are running any launcher other then touch wiz, Kies will not recognize the device. So if you are running a different launcher, clear its defaults and go to the touchwiz home and then plug the USB in.
You probably downloaded the Kies for the I9000, it doesnt work on TMO Vibrant. There is no Kies for USA available for that model yet. Someone suggested to download the Kies from the Canadian Samsung site instead. I believe that Kies for USA will be made available when Froyo is released for the Vibrant.
I downloaded Kies for the USA yesterday and my Vibrant connects fine.

Where did you find this? On the Samsung site just now I get this message when looking for Kies on the US site:
Currently, there is no offiical version of Kies Stateside for the SGH-t959 (Vibrant).
I think he used the UK, or Canadian version but when you install it you select USA.
I used the Kies found @ http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as posted by abhiku in a similar thread. Works perfectly on win 7 64
Could you be more specific? That link redirects to http://www.samsung.com/apps/ which doesn't help much.
oh shiii, looks like they pulled the version i dl/d. thankfully, i store installers of this nature on a backup drive. uploaded to sharebee for ya: http://sharebee.com/8cf24208
Thanks, but that didn't solve the MPT USB driver failing.
what exactly is happening? like when you plug it in is it just saying "failed to install device" or is the pc recognizing it for usb mass storage, but nothing else. Some more details would be very helpful.
I have the home screen on TouchWiz
I plug the phone into the USB port
Several drivers install properly
I get the MTP screen on the phone for a few seconds and then it returns to the home screen. A dialog box on the computer says:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
MTP USB Device XFailed
I have tried 3 versions of Kies and 3 different USB drivers
I tried the I9000 version of kies... I could not figure out how to make it work with the Vibrant.
I dont use Outlook... what are the real benefits? I saw it an sync your music? Is there a basic guide/Q&A for Kies somewhere?
I tried to make it work on a rooted phone and it just fails.
First it wanted me to disable USB debugging, and when I did it failed to connect anyway - the software is a piece of rubbish.
Anyway Samsung states in their FAQ that Vibrant is not supported yet
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa..._ID=314807&PROD_ID=560&PG_ID=-1&PROD_SUB_ID=0
the screen on the phone just flases the mtp showing a usb plug
The version of Kies that I successfully connected the Vibrant to is 1.5.1.10074_2.
Windows did all of the driver downloading for me lol. Here is a screenshot of the SGH-T959 connected.

I get the same. This software is junk. And what I saw of the interface makes it look like it was written in the 90s.
From what I am seeing on the international side, it may be that Froyo is installed using it so I was hoping to get things working in anticipation of that. Plus, it has a movie converter so its pretty simple to convert movies to the right format.
I have tried all 4 ports on my laptop and the SAMSUNG MTP DRIVER for Kies still fails to install, I have deleted it and reinstalled, manually pointed it to the USB Driver directory and yet it still fails, anyone any ideas?
Did you try rebooting the phone? Kies also didn't recognized mine and a reboot fixed this.
Tried a reboot still no good DRIVER NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED
Millions of posts on this subject a read of them may find a solution .
Laptops do seem more of a problem in this regard .

Kies has an option to install the correct drivers for it on the computer, have you tried that option? I believe its under tools.

Yes, same problem
Right well problem half solved, had to phone Samsung, I had to tick USB Debugging, so ticked that all drivers installed correctly with no errors, I then had to untick and reconnect, so did that, it goes through installing drivers again and once again fails and phone still not detected. Samsung might copy a few things from apple, but the slogan "It just works" doesn't appear to be one of them.
Wasted 3 hours on this, time to admit defeat, is Kies really needed anyway? I can get music etc on the phone fine without it.
You only need Kies for official updates as opposed to stock Samsung updates via XDA .Well before Kies updates also .

It's obvious isn't it? The issue was Vista.
I had the same problem with Kies under Win7 x64.
Latest Kies, latest USB drives.
What got it to work, was switching back to TwLauncher instead of MXHome I was using at the time.
No idea why the laucher affected the USB interface.

I might give this a shot. I somehow managed to miracle a connection to Kies today, just don't ask me to do it again. Typically it's a no go. Also on Win7 64 bit, laptop.
This was an issue pre and post root. I may just back up my phone the old fashioned way if it continues to be a PITA.
I had this and noticed when i plugged it in, the windows connection sound would play but would play the disconnected sound immediatley when the mtp mode was launched in the phone. A second later the connected sound would play again but kies didn't find the phone.
I got round this by getting kies to start when phone is connected. This remains the only way it will recognise my phone

I'm new here guys and need help. I have 2 phones: 1.5 years old Vibrant T959 and 3 months old Galaxy S4G T959V. I'm in US.
Vibrant: has been updates from 2.1 to 2.2 using Kies mini w/o any problem couple months ago. Later downloaded Z4Root from Amazon Appstore and try to run zillion times - with debugging yes, with debugging no, restart, taking battery of - application running but nothing happened after it is over. Now dowloaded Kies 2.0 and got message "device does not support Kies 2.0".
Galaxy S4G: runs original 2.2.1. As many times I've tried to connect to Kies mini, it never goes into MTP black/blue (Connected) screen after selecting "connect Kies" - it does when I select "musical player" but I think it is different mode. After installing Kies 2.0 - the same thing - no MTP screen and "device does not support Kies 2.0".
Please help - any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

If you want to connect your device to your PC via USB, you need to install the USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
First make sure you are having the right files to connect to your PC. Try these softwares, this may work for you.
1. Samsung Kies Mini Software for Galaxy S 4G.
2. Samsung Galaxy S 4G USB Drivers.
3. For any other related downloads use this link.
Remember Samsung Kies 2.0.2 Supports only the following devices
Wave(S8500), Wave525(S5250), Wave533(S5330), Wave723(S7230E
I bought my P7510 not too long ago, which already was at HC 3.2. Kies will not recognize this tablet [stock HC 3.2, USB Debugging off] over USB, but does it over Kies-WiFi. I installed the latest version of Kies, and the USB connection starts up in MTP mode, but the Kies device-recognize-spinner keeps on spinning, and will not resolve the 'unknown' device.
The host-system (Win Vista X64) does recognize the tablet fine.
As HC 3.2 no longer supports the USB Kies (= USB data) mode, I would like to know what could be done to fix this, as Kies does not support Firmware update over Wifi-Kies.
I have been able to run the Wifi native update (got 3.2.1 like that), but I would like to be able to get Kies running over USB.
New Version of KIES is available
Been having exactly the same problems with my (never rooted) new in January GT-P7510 since the last firmware/KIES2 upgrade. Have tried all the fixes in XDA and other forums - wasted hours to no effect. Ended up with 15 device entries for 7510 in my Windows 7 (64) Autoplay list.
Try dowloading the latest KIES_2.2.0.12014_18_8.exe released 8 Mar 2012 from Samsung support. First uninstall both the SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones and then Samsung Kies using Control Panel/Programs & Features before you run the new KIES installer.
When KIES finishes installing itself and the USB drivers, fire it up and you'll get KIESPDLR.exe wanting to make changes. If you allow this you'll see the message "There are new components for SAMSUNG KIES.... updates for firmware management ... do you want to upgrade now?" - cancel this as it will not change anything and other posters have said it causes the connection problem.
You're ready to plug in the Tab USB cable now - don't get too excited though there are problems coming. Plug in the 7510 USB cable - preferably in a motherboard USB socket, rather than a hub-based USB socket. The usual storm of device driver installation follows - the first of which always seems to fail - "SAMSUNG USB Mobile Device driver instal failed". Leave KIES to do its thing and you'll get the same error as previously "Cannot start service on this device. Disconnect and reconnect...". Do this and the same thing happens, but this time no new drivers are installed. Stay in KIES and disconnect the 7510 and run the KIES troublshooter under Options - this reinstalls the USB drivers and which manages to get the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device installed OK this time (and adds yet another 7510 device to your Autoplay list as a bonus...). Reconnect the 7510 and you'll be no further forward - same connection problem followed by error and request to restart the PC. Leave the 7510 connected to your PC and restart the PC.
On restart you should arrive at your usual desktop with no new deice driver installation. Go into Control Panel/Devices & Printers and you'll see a GT-P710 device with an exclamation against it - "Device cannot start - Code 10" error. Click on the "Troubleshooting" option and it will offer to reinstall a driver so let it apply this fix. It will fail on the SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device installation however. Now unplug the 7510 and plug it back in again. Yet another attempt to install a device driver follows - this time successful so you should see "GT-P7510 installed - ready to use". Followed by the Windows Autoplay box popping up - just close it as soon as you see it. You'll also see the KIESPLDR requests popping up requesting changes to this computer. Cancel these as before.
Now it gets silly - with the 7510 plugged in (KIES hasn't fired itself up) go into Tab Settings, Wireless and connect via Wi-fi - confirm permission on the PC and KIES will start up - and amazingly - connects via USB! From now on you should be able to disconnect and reconnect the 7510 and get a more or less immediate USB connection.
I apologise for the sheer length of this post, but it's a consequence of SAMSUNG's total ineptitude at writing driver installation scripts - who knows what works, or where or why? Any chance of some decent logging/diagnostics options for your cr*ppy KIES connection process Mr Samsung??
Rant over.
And out.
Good luck!

Seems not using KEIS at all, the answer most give, is a lot easier. Feel free to explain why using it and going through ask this hassle is better though.

Is it worth it? ...hell maybe!
You're right Benzoman - apart from firmware check & update, you don't need KIES at all for straight sync'ing/backup etc, Windows MTP does that just as well directly.
Still, Samsung will be pushing out a lot of firmware/OS updates over the next year. Who knows they might even get KIES and drivers into shape, so I'm sticking with it just now even if it is a b*lls-ache. Anything's better than fruityTunes!
Alas, no

I never had any problems with the installation of the drivers, but followed your (slightly convoluted) method to the letter. In the final part, where USB connection is combined with Wifi-Kies it still takes the Wifi as basis [not USB even both are connected], i.e. no firmware update possible, which was the (only) reason for using Kies. I do not use the SGT for contacts and the such, I have other devices for that... So sadly, this did not work for me.
I will try and try again. And if I ever find a working solution, I will put it here for all to see.

I tried many things suggested here and on other forums on my GT-P7510 (Wi-Fi only). One suggestion made that was claimed to work was a factory reset of the Tablet itself. I connected via USB to my Windows 7 laptop and copied all folders from the Tablet to an external USB hard disk as a backup, then did the factory reset on the Tablet (under Settings - Privacy). After that Samsung Kies could connect via USB.
This means that something on the Tablet itself needs to change to re-enable USB connectivity to the latest version of Kies. (I had been able to connect in the past using the same hardware but on Android 3.1 on the Tablet and on an earlier version of Kies).
The only real benefit I could see from using Kies is if Samsung releases Android 4.0 ICS via Kies before or instead of sending it via Wi-Fi. I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2 via Wi-Fi.
Latest 10.1 ICS Upgrade fixes KIES USB connect - at last!
Just received 276MB ICS upgrade via wi-fi connection (no Kies involved).
Seems the connection problem via USB is now fixed.
Plug in the upgraded 10.1 via USB to PC - will install new device drivers
then it connects via USB with no problems whatsoever.
Hope it fixes yours too.
Good luck.

I agree with you. For the last 2 days I have tried everything. But the thing that worked the first time was factory reset. worked on the very first try.
as of today, jan 6, 2014, nothing works to update my tab through kies or ota.
i followed your instructions to a "t" and there were some differences, which may be why it did not work. the kies version is now different, upon a restart of my windows pc, a program called mecleanup.exe wanted to execute (forget if this is the exact name, but i looked it up, it is a samsung install cleanup program). none of this worked. i tried disabling my antivirus.
i have spent days searching and trying everything i could find, but my p7510 will not connect to my win 7 64 bit pc through kies (but it will connect with kies air wirelessly - no good for updates) and my tab will not update over ota either. i want to update it, root it and maybe flash a good rom asap, i have waited to long!
does anyone have any info, suggestions, solutions? any help will be greatly appreciated.
the tab was purchased about 18 months ago at bestbuy, and i have never rooted it or updated it, i was waiting for a big update -ics. it has android 3.1 now. i also noticed that there is no imei number on it or in it (software) - is this normal? i have not had these problems with my captivate, or rooted galaxy note. (cappy just updated ota to gingerbread 2.3.5) i have not yet tried anythig with my 7 inch tab yet (it's sprint, but i use it wireless only, with flight mode on).
i tried different usb ports, taking everything out of all my usb ports and only connect the tab, reinstall, everything i can think of. my only recourse is a master reset, and i don't know if that is going to work, there seems to be something missing from my tab. ota does nothing, i am signed into my samsung account and my google account. it was having trouble updating apps from the market--or rather with the list of apps that needed updating, it was saying some apps were not installed when they were. the samsung support site is just usless.
thanks for your help...

I apologise for the sheer length of this post, but it's a consequence of SAMSUNG's total ineptitude at writing driver installation scripts - who knows what works, or where or why? Any chance of some decent logging/diagnostics options for your cr*ppy KIES connection process Mr Samsung??
Rant over.
And out.
Good luck!

What do you really need Kies for @OP??? Why dont you just plug it in and allow the PC to see it as a USB device.
Nothing works at all, even when I “just plug it in"! Driveres fail to load or load and do not work. I tried loading older drivers with internet turned off. That was a no go. It lets me see there is a drive on my pc, but will not allow me to see what is on the drive.
Kies air works but does not allow me to move or copy most files to my pc (photos copy but no music and no documents and certainly no apks or any kind of executable)! ). I was thinking of emailing stuff to myself but the main problem is updating my tablet.
I spent one whole useless hour on chat with samsung tech who told me everything I knew and tried already. I explained to him from the start about everything I tried so far, but he still went on to direct me to the samsung support pages with the stuffthat did not work. I should post the transcript of the conversation for sh★ts and giggles.
I just want to be able to update it and root it. Nothing has worked. Why does it not have a removable sd card? Also, now nothing works for my gnote and 7 inch tab. My captivate is just fine with kies mini, so far (knock knock knock on wood).. I remember my p7510 (i think it was that one and not my smaller tab) doing an ota update without my knowledge, and I was mad because everything got changed in some way.
I don't want to master reset till I back it all up. I really wanted to avoid the reset, this should not be happenning, a point in apple's favor here (and I am not an apple fan, i go with android all the way). Samsung needs to take there devs and let them meet to real tab owners/users.
Here is a question − can I email myself an executable/zip file (I know there are size limits) and run it right from gmail on my tab?
sent from my rooted i717 w/stock ics....and i love it!
Here's what I did that works (tablet was running 3.2) stock, PC is win7x64:
1. Disconnect tablet.
2. On PC, uninstall Kies & Samsung USB driver from Programs & Features.
3. On tablet, disable USB Debugging.
4. Download and install latest Kies (was 2.5.2.13021_10 for me).
5. Launch kies, it will not detect anything.
6. Plug in tablet and let drivers etc. install, wait for a prompt from kies saying 'this device is not supported by this version of kies (or similar)'.
7. Press OK.
8. Quit kies and restart it, now it works.
Do the firmware upgrade, and get outta there, that software is some of the worst there is... good luck.
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?

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.
