[Q] Failed to connect to Kies

I am using Kies 2.5.0.12094_28 on Windows 7. When I inserted my Note 2 LTE into usb port, a message popped up in lower right corner saying
Hardware ID Missing
Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device.
For assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer.
The Kies shown Connecting status and Connected devices: GT-N7105 but the update sign was rotating. It took ages not to complete the connection.
Is there any way to fix it?

Double klick on Kies icon
1. Connect your Note and doubleklick on Kies-Icon on your PC.
2. If doesn't work unplug the phone, uninstall Kies - restart - and reinstall.
plug in and if necesarry double click the kies icon.

Thanks for your advice. Tried it without success. Kies worked correctly with SGS2 but not SGN2 and now it won't work with both. Very disappointed!!

I uninstalled the software and re-installed it again and the Hardware ID Missing issue has gone and the drive was installed successfully. The Kies automatically launched when I plugged in N2. However it stuck in the Connecting status for ages. I clicked Troubleshoot connection error button. After unplugged N2, I clicked Start button but Kies 2.0 connection error troubleshooting did not start as indicated. It seems the Kies has lots of bug with N2.

Kies won't recognize the phone

Hello everybody.
I've bought a new Galaxy Note 2 today, and I want to transfer the contacts from my iPhone to the Galaxy Note 2. I know I need to use it through Kies, but it won't recognize it! What should I do??

First try another usb port, then reboot the pc and try again. If all fails completely uninstall Kies, reinstall it and try again.

i have same problem, kies doesnt recognise my device.

thx. it worked, but then it won't recognize the phone again...
need to uninstall it, again. this is frustrating...

I had the same problem, Samsung are still in denial! it happens to my GS3 as well. (windows 7)
A workaround is: uninstall Kies and all previous settings. (Uninstall USB driver if it isn't automatically uninstalled. )
Restart the PC, ( then check everything has uninstalled)
Download and install the latest Kies. Run the setup and (it always works with the first sync.)
But when prompted to update firmware components click cancel - Keys will prompt you to every time you connect, click cancel ( if I update it stops working )

did you try installing samsung drivers?

I have a friend he has a gt-n7100 it's a nee but kies says firmware is unsupported what can he do?

I'm running Windows 8 and after installing Kies for the first time on this laptop, it didn't find my Note 2, had to reinstall Kies and after a new reboot it finally found my phone and after that it hasn't caused any problems, it find the phone every single time when I connect it to my laptop.
Remember that you can also try right-click on the Kies icon and try run it as "Administrator" and see if that helps.

I have the same version of Kies and I'm not having any troubles. Try (re-)installing samsung device drivers and/or Kies.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 totally bricked

Hello, it all started when i wanted to correct a soft-bricked Galaxy Tab 3. In the beginning, it was possible for me to enter download mode. I downloaded the correct samsung drivers, odin v3.07 and the official Greek firmware. I tried several times to unbrick the device but i was getting a failure in odin. After several tries i got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error. I then downloaded Kies and was getting a connection loop. Tried again with odin but i mess things totally because now my device is not even recognized as a device. I changed a cable, i pulled off the battery, changed usb port, rebooted my PC but still... when in "firmware upgrade" error, the device is not recognized AT ALL. I also tried the firmware upgrade method in Kies, by providing a model name and a serial number but i get an error that says my model does not support initializing. Is there a possible way to make the device work or am i "lucky" enough...?
Thanks in advance.

phone password on GT-S8500 and no connection to Kies / Multiloader

Hello, I have got a S8500 from flee market with a phone password. I can get into download mode but neither Kies or Multiloader (2.65) can get a connection to the phone. Kies recognizes that there is a phone but keeps trying to connect without success. Multiloader does not find anything when I hit port search.
I tried different USB-cables, repair Driver with Kies, connect the phone before or after starting Kies or Multiloader, killed the Kies processes before using Multiloader etc.
Is there any method left I could try?

Sorry, found the solution: I had to start Multiloader as administrator. ?
Yesterday I tried the whole day, today just a few minutes. Now I have a working S8500 with bada2.0 and I will try bandroid later
