bought a New Galaxy Y,
When connected to pc with Samsung Kies get the following error on opening contacts in kies:
sevice 202 cannot start on this device, so I cannot change any contact data with kies.
I tried : other usb cable, other pc, restored factory defaults, but as soon as i connect get same error.
The phone isnt rooted. software is the default software provided with samsung for prepaid telford provider
I have an other galaxy Y, this one connects normaly, so this must be an issue on this phone.
Does anyone have an sugestion on how to solve this ?
Thanks Jan

So u mean u got a network-locked SGY from your carrier and you have another SGY which works normally with KIES ? if , try my troubleshooting instructions.
Troubleshooting Instructions
1.Do Re-Install "Samsung Kies" and "Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones" , you can uninstall this on Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs (For WIN XP,Vista,7) then search for the 2 programs that i've mentioned.
2.If you have another PC/Laptop installed with KIES and USB Drivers for Samsung phones , then try if KIES will recognize your phone on your Another PC/Laptop.
3.Try going to your carrier's store in some malls in your area and ask their help.

Solution to preparing firmwire upgrade components
Hello Everyone,
I'm here to solve this problem which everyone have been facing for upgrading firmwire via Kies. First of all let me tell you that i own a Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) and had this problem and did everything possible to solve it like installing virtual os (xp), trying on original windows xp sp3, modifying services, installing drivers, usb debugging and all sorts of stuff. But in the end i found the solution as i vowed not to go to samsung service centre and not to use odin to root and solve this myself and help others solve it.
If you are stuck with "preparing firmwire upgrade components" screen, just do this to solve it --> TRY WITH Wi-Fi.
As you all know Samsung Kies is one of the worst piece of software ever made, something's wrong with kies with broadband connection. So just connect your phone with wifi in your laptop for internet and usb connection to phone with "usb debugging" turned off. Do not plug in any usb devices like pen drive, wireless mouse nano receiver, etc and make sure wifi has good signal and battery is full before you start.
I'm pretty sure this would solve the problem, and if it does i wouldn't mind getting a donation of 2 dollars at my paypal email [email protected] for me trying to help others and for need. Hope it makes sense. If you need any further help, let me know by email at the address mentioned. Bye.
kies is ****ing ****,after one i delete this"tool",odin is da best one to flash stocks,kies makes me angry.I do not know any people that do not have problems with this program,
My Samsung Galaxy S2X was working fine after the ICS update, but since two days I,m unable to connect the phone to my laptop. It tries to install the software automatically and after a while it give out an error saying that Samsung Mobile MTP Device failed. Earlier, the phone directly gave the option in the notification bar to connect as an USB storage but now it shows up Connected as a Media device.
I've tried every option available, from deleting files with 16 characters to re-installing Kies and the USB drivers. I tried connecting the phone to different computers but the problem still persists.
Another issue after the update was that the Bluetooth transfer rate is very slow with ~30kbps transfer rate which earlier in GB was 3Mbps+.
I'm wondering if its got something to do with the new ICS update or am I the only one with this issue? The device is on stock ICS and is not rooted.
Thanks for any HELP...
EDIT:
Solved the problem by doing a factory reset.

Which system? Windows or android? and what do you mean by "restoring"? Factory settings?
I have been having the same problem for 2 months now. I don't know what's wrong. I have tried EVERYTHING! Nothing works!
I even installed the drivers while the phone is turned off, turned on with debug mode and when battery is taken off while connected: the OMAP4430 drivers: and still it didn't work, lol. I don't know what the hell is wrong with that f***er, lol? It won't give in!
I removed all Kies with all drivers many times, like 6 or 7 times, connected the phone to pc while it's off then turned the pc on, changed cable, usb port, tried different computers, tried this *#7284# thing, etc... The only thing i didn't try is black magic and voodoo! Or maybe i should try hypnosis? Or electric DC shock?
Anyway, if you have found a solution, please let me know

Having Trouble updating to Jellybean via Kies
Hello guys! As my username implies, I've been the owner of a Samsung T989D Heracles for about 8 months or so. I've had so many **** ups when it comes to doing any exploits with my phone and most recently I've had issues upgrading my firmware with Kies. Twice now there's been this notice of this box that appears to say "PC can't recognize my phone" and that was due to my phone being in download mode. Tried unchecking and checking USB debugging resulting in the same **** happening again. Not comfortable with installing Jellybean unofficially because I don't wanna deal with my wireless carrier(the sales people in the store are a bunch of idiots). Any advice or suggestion?

Download mode is used to install packages, Kies put your phone in download mode only if he installs any update, so it means you shouldn't put your phone on download mode to make it recognized by Kies. Did you install the specific drivers for your phone?

A lot of the time this is due to your PC not installing the drivers correctly.. Either that or you should try different USB ports.
Try downloading the newest Odin connecting your phone and put it in download mode. If Odin does not recognize your phone then the drivers got borked up during installation .. And if Odin does see your phone ..then just use that instead.

Hello,
I know you're probably thinking, "omg another note bricked thread". Yes, but I spent many hours of research and couldn't find a thread with my exact problem.
A little background:
I rooted my phone and everything was fine and dandy. I let a friend borrow my phone for a minute and they decided that it would be funny to uninstall google play. I installed the apk from online and had nothing but problems. The app would crash as soon as i started downloading anything. I looked into solutions and did everything from editing the host file to wiping the caches. Nada. The "solutions" just caused other errors. I decided to wipe and reinstall from my backup.
I realized after that because Google Play is a system file, my restore was useless. I decided to wipe everything and reflash the stock firmware with Odin. I downloaded the right one for the verizon model on 5.1.1. Odin sent the file to the device. Just before finishing there was an error and the phone rebooted anyway.
Upon booting the phone now lacked an OS and gave the "use the verizon repair assistant to reinstall the operating system" message. I tried the software (from a friends s5) on 3 different computers and it wouldn't work on any.
I figured, no problem, I will just reflash to stock with Odin again. Only this time my computer no longer recognizes the phone when I put it into download mode. Ive installed and reinstalled the drivers, changed the order of connecting the cables, and when the phone is booted. Nothing works.
The phone can only boot regularly (but lacks an OS) or go to download mode. Recovery doesn't work. Any ideas? Help would greatly be appreciated as the nearest phone repair center is close to 40 miles away
Tl;dr
Phone doesnt have an OS, can boot to download mode, but isn't recognized by computer. The basic troubleshooting steps haven't worked.
Hi urban.. I'm not to technical, but was reading your post. I hit a little confused... Your using the s5 Verizon recovery, not Odin image right

Had a similar experience myself. I also tried using the Verizon update/repair assistant for another device and it did not work. I ultimately ended up borrowing a Note 4, installing the upgrade/repair assitant from that phone onto my pc (enable USB autoplay, then choose to install the software that runs when you connect the phone). The software installed from another Note4 was able to repair my phone without issue.

Interesting. Was your computer unable to recognize the phone as well? How did you borrow another Note 4? I have scoured the internet and haven't been able to find the software online. Would you be able to PM it to me? I would greatly appreciate it as I do not have immediate access to another Note.
ODIN can be finicky with USB cables and ports. Try switching cables and make sure that you're on a USB port that comes straight from the PC and not a hub.
Try uninstalling the Samsung USB driver, reboot the computer then reinstall.
I'm not sure why you were using S5 software when Note 4 is so readily available. I'm not sure that I can recommend using the Marshmallow firmware yet in ODIN. I would use the 5.1.1 version and do the full firmware flash.
what i've done.
Hello Urban415, earlier today my phone decided to take a dump as well gave me that same message with the yellow triangle, i had flashed a bad image (file name : N910VVRU2BPA1_StockRestore.tar.md5) which then gave me that problem.
//-=-=
I went onto Sam Mobile's site, created an account(its free! to download the firmware, it's needed.)
I had to download N910VVRU2BOG5 - 5.0.1 (it took me 2 hours to DL off their site :\ due to free account... but whatevs)
In order to bring my phone back to life also the version of Odin i used was 3.10.6..
My phone was rooted as well and was using N910VVRU2BPA1 - 5.1.1
//-=-=
Hope this helps ! My note 4 Model # : Sm-n910v, bought refurb off ebay.
P.S. Excuse my grammar, punctuation, etc, etc. Also! running Windows 7 x64 and Verizon's assistant didn't work for me either. not even on my windows 8.1 laptop =x!

The S5 software is only the verizon restore assistant because that is the only samsung software I had available to me. I am not using the firmware for that phone on my note. I tried to do the full 5.1.1 firmware flash, but can only do that when my computer recognizes the device.

Glad that you got your device to work. Thanks for the information about the Verizon assistant software. Guess it's not just me.
My problem isn't the firmware and finding it online. My problem is that my computer now refuses to recognize the phone as a usb device. I have tried the usual recommended troubleshooting steps to no avail. Did you have this problem?
I'm reaching about as far as I can go, but: did you try to do a factory reset in recovery? I had that work in freeing up a connection issue in ADB once.
@Urban415 I was googling and found one guy who had a similar issue as you... It was for an older device. But what he did was uninstalled the assistant. Then plugged in his phone and reinstalled the software and it installed the correct drivers... Also I'm not to android savvy, but just a thought. If your using the s5 assistant wouldn't it have to download a note 4 image for it to recognize it. Maybe that's why it's not working. Because it doesn't have the note 4 drivers and image??? Just a thought

Hey, sorry it took so long to get back.
As I recall my phone was not visible to ADB or Kies while it was displaying the Verizon Repair Assistant screen erreor screen. I suspect that in that state, only the Repair Assistant is able to talk to the phone.
I ended up waiting for my wife to get home (she has the same phone as me) and borrowing her phone to install the assistant software. The software recognized my phone, though it took a minute or two, even though Kies couldn't see it. The assistant downloaded the firmware and flashed it. Phone good as new.

I have tried with 2 cords, and am not using a hub. I also already uninstalled, rebooted and installed. Anything else?
The S5 software is only the verizon restore assistant because that is the only samsung software I had available to me. I am not using the firmware for that phone on my note. I tried to do the full 5.1.1 firmware flash, but can only do that when my computer recognizes the device.
Glad that you got your device to work. Thanks for the information about the Verizon assistant software. Guess it's not just me.
My problem isn't the firmware and finding it online. My problem is that my computer now refuses to recognize the phone as a usb device. I have tried the usual recommended troubleshooting steps to no avail. Did you have this problem?

similar thing happened to me but on my 2013 nexus 7. I had to download and use "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and manually (using Commands within windows command-line-interface) restore my device while it was in "fastboot mode". prior to that tried using "WUGsNexus Root ToolKit " which help instruct the user; with screenshots on how to uninstall drivers that might conflict with one another with the use of another program named "USBDeview". that didn't work for me unfortunately . but for i cannot for sure say if its a "Maybe my windows need a refresh/clean slate" or I missed a step.
Thank you to everyone that helped me in this thread. After trying several new cables, uninstalling and re-installing drivers, rebooting, and playing around with software compatibility software, my problem has been solved.
I have now reflashing stock firmware, rooted, and backed up the phone. Cheers!

you must firstly downgrade to 5.1.1 OI2, the otg is not the only way to bypass configuration screen, you can search in youtube, you can also use SideSync, Or the HTTP Methode (youtube)
All that is to activate Debugging Mode In Setting, Than use the adb with some trick

Well, I did enable the USB Debug mode, put the NOTE 4 on download mode and opened ODIN with the proper files to go back to 5.1.1 OI2, after that, I went back to 5.1.1 OI2 then the same message appeared "Samsung account, This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device that confirms that belongs to you." I've watched several videos for 3 days now and tried the methods shown with no luck, I've tried the SideSync, OTG, Modem, Bluetooth, etc. that is getting me going to a dead end. Also there's no support from Samsung nor AT&T since I'm on Cricket Wireless. Is there any way not patched by Samsung that I can use to get back my Note 4? Everything was good until I decided to update to MM and now I'm without phone :/
Never mind, I found a 100% working solution that got my Note 4 SM-N910A back to a working condition as if I just got it from the store. Anyways thanks mate!
A quick update, like I said, I got my phone back and also updated to 6.0.1 MM and has been working really great!

Sure, I can. Do you have your Note 4 locked? or what's the problem with your phone?

There's tons of methods and apk u can sideload . I just put the apk in download folder with pc then used the talk back method and esfile explorer installed through chrome to bypass on galexy prime. U can also use sidesync method or dialer methods . Whatever gets u to a browser really. Good luck youtube and Google are ure friends.
