I just want to be clear on the state of the phone. Does it have any charge left? Can you access the download screen? If you can access the download screen you can just use Odin to flash your original ROM back.
(Hold power button and volume down button at the same time until the phone vibrates. Then let go of the power button but keep holding the volume down until the download screen pops up.)

Any luck? If so I just had a thought.
My phone the I717R (Rogers) in Canada can't use Samsung Kies to restore the phone.
However if your phone is the ATT version and it can enter download mode you should be able to use Samsung Kies to restore to factory settings.
You'll just need to enter firmware upgrade and initialization I'm pretty sure it's called. Then you'll type in the model and serial number found under the battery and Kies will do the rest.

Did you install Samsung KIES first? It should automatically install the driver you need.
Also when you put it in to download mode do it while the phone is unplugged, then plug the phone in.
Let us know what happens, sure we'll figure it out.
I did and it didn't detect it still there's gotta be something I Can do

Try this link.
That's from the Samsung site for the I717 driver only. See if your computer picks up your phone after installing that.
If that doesn't work you may just want to use ODIN. I'll tell you everything you'd need to know to do that just don't have time ATM.
Have you tried another USB port and or cable?

that sucks, sorry to hear that. i would start fresh and uninstall the sammy drivers reboot the comp afterwards, reinstall drivers reboot once again, put the device into download with out firing up odin and see if that will help. I've noticed this device can be a bit finicky when it comes to drivers or maybe we are a few of the unlucky ones lol. I too have been having drivers issues lately regarding mtp and its been driving me nuts.

I am rooted galaxy S2. I have received an alert from ATT saying ICS is available to download. I am not able to connect using Kies. I have tried the following with no luck after reading tons of posts here:
i) checked/unchecked to USB debugging mode.
ii)dialed *#7284#...checked/unchecked usb mode there too, no luck.
iii) updated kies drivers ,still same issue.
ONLY option left is to factory reset my phone. IDK if i am facing this issue because i have rooted phone or something else. If anyone had SUCCESSFULLY upgraded to ICS on there rooted phone, please let me know...
if you are rooted and you have clockworkmod recovery, and you want the stock feel ICS, flash the ROM that I have linked in my signature. Its look is pretty much stock ICS but it is a HELL of a lot more smooth and has features that the stock does not have.
to answer your question, yes, at one point I did update using KIES from a rooted phone. After you have tried to connect, run the connection wizard from the KIES main window after you disconnect the phone.
are you rooted on stock GB 2.3.4, 2.3.6 or rooted and on a custom ROM?
Thanks for prompt response. Sorry for my limited knowledge, i dont know what does Stock and ROM means. I dont remember how i rooted my phone. I just want to get the latest official ICS update.
if you want the latest ics using kies turn phone off, pull battery, you'll need your s/n #and model, then put battery back in, open kies, go to tools, go down to firmware upgrade and initialization, it'll then ask for your s/n and model name, must match,, click ok, before continuing, hold, both volume buttons and plug into computer, it'll then go to download mode, to enter download mode, push volume up button once, you'll then be at the downloading screen, then follow on screen prompts, make sure you have a stable internet connection for your computer

doesn't using that method wipe all user data tied to the system? internal sd data remains but you lose all your setups.
Guess I don't understand. If you are rooted use the app in play store to keep root and use mobile Odin to flash the update. Then you can retain root on a terrible ics

Hi,
I have tried to update my galaxy s2 with Kies but the update fails
Now when i turn on my phone it says "Firmware update encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
How can I replace the original firmware?
It was a Vodafone-it Firmware.
Thanks
check if u can go in Download mode keep pressing volume down + home + power after switching the phone off..

yes it goes in download mode but i don't know what i have to do after that becouse Kies tell me that it doesn't see the phone and askme a code for replace the firmware....
Your phone is perfectly fine so Don't panic. You have to use Odin to flash stock firmware. Ask some other member for help regarding Odin. As I have to go for some work. And specify your phone's model no. Must be on the sticker that is on your phone below the battery..

I restart the phone and now it doesn't work, always black screen and now the download mode doesn't work too...

My Galaxy SIII is dead.. 4 weeks ago It randomly went to the Splash screen about 5 minutes after me using it, for some unknown reason and hasnt worked since, the eBay app kept crashing a few days before and then i updated the app, the next day my phone broke?!?!..
Phone is about 4months old and the screen has a small crack at the bottom (did this a week after i got it and doesn't affect phone) i sent my phone off for repairs but o2 sent it back and said warranty is void because the screen is broke.. So they won't touch it.
I have no knowledge of flash and firmware however after doing a bit of research this last week i've downloaded Odin3 but no flash/firmware to go with!
The phone no longer powers on, it used to just go to the splash screen but freeze, now it wont even do that.
I can open download mode, but when i plug my phone into my laptop although it makes the connection sound, Kie's can't connect it will only attempt to connect (& fail) when it's in download mode too.. I've re-downloaded the samsung usb drivers, but no joy.
When i charge it, the battery loading symbol comes up but again it freezes at this?
I've tried recovery mode but it will only load the splash screen, then thats it, it freezes on that...
Any ideas? Does anyone know the o2 united kingdom flash firmware?

If you can get into download mode make sure to turn off kies, also check the task manager, as it does not play well with odin, or just uninstall kies as odin its better anyway. You can find all firmware on sammobile.com, give it a try.

Thank you for reply.. I've downloaded the o2 firmware and flash and did it step by step via odin with someone talking me through it, but it failed.. The guy who helped me is a dev for verizon and he said that because that wasn't working, my phone is completely bust & i need a new one...
When I turned on my i9300 galaxy III phone last week it prompt me for an upgrade. I installed it and as soon as it booted again, every single app started to issue warnings about stopping. The phone cycles through all of these pop up warnings over and over again and never reaches the home screen.
What I have tried:
Plugged it to PC open Kies - drivers were not installed correctly, Kies didnt connect.
Ran troubleshooting (unplugged phone b4) connected phone again Kies didnt connect.
Restarted the phone in d/l mode --> wipe data/factory reset, this time the drivers were installed correctly but Kies didnt connect again.
Unplugged phone open Odin and it didnt recognize the phone either.
Tried 2 different cables switched USB ports and nothing!!
PC recognizes the phone but it wont let me see content in windows explorer.
Please help me, thanx in advance. :crying:

For ODIN to recognize the device you must first go into Download Mode and you need to shutdown the device first then do this hold home+vol down+then power button)
You don't need root to use ODIN though. If you want to revert to stock see the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 it's pretty straightforward anyway so i guess you won't do something unnecessary.
As you were upgrading legitimately, take it back to vendor or Samsung and get them to sort it

Neither Kies nor Odin recognizes the phone. PC installs drivers correctly and knows when its plugged in but thats about it

Have phone off and hold vol-down and power button together until you see a warning screen then release buttons and then push on the vol-up button to go to download mode.
I think you do not need to push the home button down with the other two..as all the mega 6.3 i know of only need the vol-down + power button to be used..unless the i527 is different and needs the home button with the other two.

good job.... now we can play more with our devices and always come back to kies....
thank you to all for this great message. i was able to connect my i527 to Kies and it got recognized right away. And then Kies asked if I wanted to update the phone. After clicking a few "OK" the update update went on by itself. No need to go into download mode or anything. The process takes roughly 40 minutes and then I just rooted the phone again with Kingo.
A side note: Kies would not start on my Win 7 64 bit computer initially. Searched around and found out it's a common issue, and I just need to repair the .net framework 4.0. After that all is dandy.

Turns out I was entering the IMEI #.
For some reason Metro Put on the receipt that that was the serial #.
The only way to get the true serial # is when you go to the about phone info.
My phone isn't working, so I input the serial to my Galaxy Note.
Got a step closer, but i gto hit back with a message saying that this model is not suported.
So this time I put the model SGH-I527 which my phone was flashed to anyways and I entered the Serial # to my Note and BAM!
I will let you know how it went since right now its still downloading from Samsung servers. :fingers-crossed:
