I have installed Windows 8 Release Preview (64 bit) on my PC. I installed Kies (v2.3.2.1) so that I could upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gingerbread to ICS. Kies installs OK and runs OK and detects my phone OK. I am told that there is a firmware update for my phone and when I proceed to downloads the firmware then... nothing. It just hangs. Kies dies (but does not close although it freezes). I have tried separately downloading the latest Samsung drivers (v1.5.4.0) and installed these too -- but the same things happens.
Is this a common problem? Or is it my PC? Is there a workaround? Cheers.

Forget trying to use Kies to update, from what i gather it can cause more problems that what it solves.
I'd suggest reaing this to upgrade to KE7:

The guide is easy to follow and download links for the files are good.
Only thing id add is make sure you are using a good usb port to connect with not a hub in a hub in a hub job
or press right mouse button on kies account
and choose run as administrator
and allow kies in the firewall
Tryed that still misses up like
AV off Firewall off run as Admin .
jje
Tryed and turned off avg and still dint work
have the same issue as u mate
solution for me was to install kies on another xp machine/virtual xp
and update thru there.
that is of course you have another xp machine

Why would you have an update is the first question .
Second is has your phone provider updated the firmware .

I was made aware that there has been two firmware updates released in the last two weeks from Samsung address certain issues reading battery life and such and these updates can only be applied via connecting to Kies.
As this is not an offical update to Android I did not think that such updates where pushed out by the carriers?
My S2 was bought sim fee but I am using it on the O2 network.
Thanks
I live in the UK and have a factory unlocked SGS2. I plugged my handset in this morning and was immediately offered the KE7 update. I have installed it, but haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet. I have run Quadrant several times and it consistently scores 3,500+.
im using windows 7 64 bit and have used kies before its extreemly buggy ... can updates be done over the air like they can on htc (fota) ??
im hoping the new version of kies i installed this morning works with 64 bit as my new s2 arrives tomorrow ....
thanks
chris
how much time does it take for the upgrade process to complete?
my phone is connected to the pc and kies is showing Preparing firmware upgrade components, since the past 1 hour!!!! does that take so long?

Hi
I'm new to android.
I'm currently using an unlocked SGSII. The details are below
Android Version
2.3.3
Baseband Version
I9100JCKE1
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7-I910XWKE7-CL215725
[email protected] #2
Build Number
GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
From what I understand KE7 is the latest firmware. Im currently on version 2.3.3 and would like to update to 2.3.5 or higher.
I'm using Kies on a 64 bit Windows 7 and everytime I've connected my phone to Kies for the 2 months I've had it, there are no updates available.
Is there any way Kies will detect an update if I switch to an XP or even a Linux machine
Thanks
how can i root my galaxy s ll from bell mobility, i looked at cf-root and if im correct you have to download the matching kernal in that post that matches your device. thanks for your help
my kernal
2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789

flash this kernel through ODIN.

samsung kies is not working on windows 8 and keeps crashing, will this be an issue? because i thought i have to run my phone in kies once before i use odin so it installs all the needed drivers correctly .
definitely need your phone to be detected first, so yeah... KIES must be installed on the machine you're doing this on.
I had to use an old PC laptop before KIES beta came out for my mac.
*ahhh the sacrifices we have to do to flash ROMs...*

Just flash a stock rom through Odin, it does the same job as kies only faster, you can find a stock rom here.
After flashing my phone a few times with different roms my pc running windows 7 64x gave me an error message when my phone was connected saying hardware I'd missing windows could not detect the device plugged in sometimes it works other times it doesnt. It this something to do with kies? Or have I acualy wiped something from the phone by accident I flash over 30 roms n never had an issue with any. Except ressurection remix jelly bean witch the wifi wouldn't turn on but apart from that all good. Any tips?

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I'm having the same problem, and none of the solutions mentioned works for me.
The problem only occurs when the phone is connected to my machine running Windows 7 64-bit. It doesn't happen on another computer running 32-bit Windows 7.
I assume the problems lies with the 64-bit drivers.

Probably, although i don't have these problems.
Try this:
Uninstall Samsung drivers, reboot pc then reinstall Samsung drivers in compatibility mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.
To do that would I just uninstall Kies, reboot, and then reinstall Kies using Windows XP Compatibility mode?
Sounds like its completely nothing to do with Samsung/Kies. The problem lies within Windows update I believe.

I had already tried that before I posted here - several times in fact. It was the "compatibility mode" you mentioned that I was interested in trying. How do I do that? Is that just a matter of reinstalling Kies in Windows XP compatibility mode?
Yes. Install it in compatibility mode for Vista but Xp.
I know you have tried my steps before but just follow it. Replace install kies with install kies in compatibility mode

Just to update this, I followed the procedure you suggested and reinstalled Kies in Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) Compatibility Mode. After rebooting the same problem happened again.
I then uninstalled Kies and repeated everything again, this time installing and running in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Compatibility Mode.
That seemed better at first, but now I'm getting the "Hardware Id Missing" balloon come up again and Kies cannot see the phone.
Thanks for your help, but I'm still looking for a solution to this problem if anybody has one.

I had the same problem I think it's the 64 bit system and samsung's new update of drivers something that help me was
1. When you plug in your device on your phone screen it has a usb symbol at the top pull down the notification bar
2. Press Connected as media device (mtp)
3. Change from media device (mpt) to camera (ptp)
4 . It should work now
Anybody successfully install the latest KIES on their Win7 64 bit machine?
I saw another thread 2 years ago, but it has no solution to it...
Does anybody have a workaround or a way to get it install?
Mine failed when it try to register nkwab.dll, i think it was trying to use the 32bit regsrv32.exe to register the 64bit stuff... but can't really force the installer to do anything...
Tried to update to the latest 64bit java.
Tried to clean the registry.
Tried an older version of KIES.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Which version are you tying to Install ?
I have Successfully Installed Samsung Kies v2.5.3.13052_10 (on Win8 64bit & Win7 64bit) without any problem.
I think the Latest version is 2.60.13064_2
Not tried that one yet
Uninstall your Current version of Java & Kies
Reboot your System
Just download and Install Latest version of Java
Java 7 Update 25 (64bit) from LINK
Then Reboot your system
And then Download Latest Version Of Kies From LINK
And Install it..
Thats all...

I was trying the latest version on Samsung website.
But anyhow, F that $hit. I tried everything. I end up just installing the Samsung driver package myself, then hook it up with Odin. Kies is a total fail. Wasted me a day on it.
This is what I've tried and done before:
Uninstall and install Kies
Uninstall and install Java (64 bit)
Ran CCleaner
Reboot, and deleted the Samsung folder
Ran CCleaner again
Tried a couple of different version of Kies
Bottomline, Kies doesn't work with 64bits Windows 7, judging by the error message, Kies was trying to run the 32bit regsvr32.exe to register some dll, but it should've ran the 64bit version of regsvr32.exe under Windows/system instead.
I got my stuff working now, go here:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/361286-...or-mobile-phones-15270-win-87xp-adb-fastboot/
Get the driver pack (you may want to google the latest driver pack instead)
Install the driver pack
Run Odin
:good:
That's a bit jumping to conclusions ? Just because it doesent work on your pc - you simply call that Kies doesent work on Win7x64 ? That's weird because i have it installed - and never had any issues with it ?

I had an older version of Kies Mini installed before for my old phone that worked too, and that was 2 years ago. But the new one doesn't work, in fact if you google it, tons of people are having issues with Windows 7 and 64 bit, and yet Samsung doesn't do anything to fix it. Is not my PC's issue because Kies installer was trying to register its dll and failed. The error message was saying that the application (Kies) was performing wrong operation. Like i explained before, I suspect Kies installer is calling the wrong command to register its dll.
Anyhow, Kies is not needed now. I never liked Kies anyway, especially the new one, it looks like iTune...
I don't have any problems with Kies and Win 7 64 bit as well. Currently running 2.60.13064_2 version.
In fact I have Kies installed on my PC December last year without any issues. It is weird that some of people do have installation or stability problems with it when others don't. It's gotta be something not 100% kosher with the application.
Use of Kies on XDA should receive a lifetime ban .
