I'm trying to get kies over wifi (NOT the browser based kies air) working on my SGS3. It detected my computer fine the first time I connected, however it stopped working and will no longer detect the computer. I've followed the directions in the program and went as far as to disable windows firewall after it stopped working, but no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know there's other software that can do this (along with kies air) but I like that it has the ability to connect automatically when I'm in range of my router and would much rather just get kies working.
oh, and it detects it fine when connecting via usb and I'm updated to the latest version of kies
Alright, I managed to get it working. If any one else has this problem, try installing allshare through and go through the initial setup wizard. Make sure you have allshare cast enabled on your phone so it can detect it. After I got it set up with allshare it started working fine with kies, even without allshare open.

I tried to have this done and the settings it told me to check on my PC matches their instructions. But for some reason my phone does not detect my pc with Kies running. I would like to get connected via wifi but I can't. Any ideas on what is going on?
Saw there was an update for kies install it and now its not working correctly. It wont tell me my current firmware version like it always has, none of the options are saved. its like it forgets my phone every time i unplug it. anyone else having issues with vs. 2.5.0.12094_27.
Also when i hit firmware upgrade and initialization it says my phone does not support initializing.

It's fine on my end. Received a replacement phone from T-Mo and updated Kies, then used Kies to update to LH2
I began having problems with Kies after the most recent update. It took me awhile to solve the problem.
Everytime I would connect my phone to the PC via USB, the PC would see it just fine. Kies would also say it was connecting to my "SGH-T999", but after a few seconds of trying to connect, I would get an error of, "Unable to connect to SGH-T999. Failed to retrieve device information." I would then be unable to sync my phone.
Reboots of phone and PC would not fix the problem.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Kies several times, trying all sorts of combinations of uninstalling drivers and deleting temp files. When I did this, I could connect and sync for one time, and one time only, and then would get the same error message.
Finally, I uninstalled Kies, selecting options to uninstall USB drivers and temp files. I then also deleted the Samsung folders in My Documents, as well as in both Program Files and Program Files (x86) (I have Win 7 Ultimate x64 installed).
I reinstalled Kies and allowed it to install USB drivers as well. The phone then connected to Kies and synced fine.
I've noticed after uninstalling and reinstalling that Windows Update says there is an important update for my Samsung MTP device for a May 2012 update. I have decided not to install this due to concerns over driver conflicts, as my current set up is working just fine.
I'm glad I was able to solve this short of a factory wipe.
I had that problem and unistalled usb drivers and and reinstalled older version usb drivers
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I got that Windows update as well though that was the reason it was not working maybe ill try to uninstall that

Hi, So I have the sg3 T999V with Wind and I updated to jelly bean via kies today.
So I did lose root and cmw
but I used the root66 way of rooting it after the upgrade and it worked.
However, after the upgrade I encounter the MTP device not working problem.
I first unchecked usb debugging mode and it worked for a brief moment but then proceeded to not being recognized by my computer again
I have windows 7 32bit
So this is what I tried:
1) regedit described on this forum - did not work, and there was no upperfilters under EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A
2) reinstall kies,driver under my computer-manager, and kies troubleshooting - always returned with MTP not installed correctly
3) factory reset one where I signed into google account right away when prompt and another left it till later, the instance where i signed in later worked until i restored system-app data with titanium backup
4) Tried all the ports on my laptop- non of which worked
5) made sure I used the usb cable that came with the phone
So I am out of ideas and having tried most of the methods suggested on the forum I don't have a next step
the reset worked well till I backed up with titanium so perhaps it is a system setting that is preventing the mtp?
Please help I use my sg3 as a music player for my long commutes and losing the MTP function would be major. :crying:

I have this issue on and off with my S3. It tells me my Device ID is missing. What I do is the following:
1. Download the S3 Toolkit software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 and extract
2. Go to the directory you put the toolkit in and look for the drivers folder. There are two (maybe 3) files there. The USB drivers, and an application. Right click on the application, and run as administrator.
3. Make sure phone is NOT plugged in
4. Look for all Samsung related files. You may have USB component, USB modem, CAC Driver, MTP Driver, ADB driver, And a T999 Driver. highlight and click the recycle bin next to teh X on the menu bar.
5. Plug phone in, and let it recognize the components again.
6. After it is complete, it may work, or you may have to plug it in one more time for it to recognize T999 or MTP again.
7. If it doesn't work, start again, sometimes it takes a few times.
I do notice that with the Universal Naked drivers I don't have any issues, but then I can't connect to Kies. Also curious to see if your Device ID is also missing, this is the first column in the application you are running. Mine are, which I think is part of the problem, but not sure why they vanished, or how to get them back.
I don't have a solution for your windoze problem
but if I understand correctly, you need to transfer files from pc to phone
you have wifi?
both pc and phone using same wifi?
on pc.. open sharing to LAN
get ES File Explorer (or similar) from the play store
in ES, switch from Local to LAN shares
tap New.. then Scan ... your pc should show
tap it and hold, edit login parameters as necessary
tada ... now you can move files from pc to sdcard or ext sd card, no prob .. Local to LAN or vice versa
tip: I opened the 5GHz band on My dual band router and have My SGS3 connect on that band ... this achieves speeds up to 150Mbps between pc and phone instead of usual max of 65Mbps on 2.4GHz band
another file transfer method ... Dropbox
drop files on pc into Dropbox, pick them up in the Dropbox app.. or vice versa
however this will use your internet .. and whatever your monthly limit is ... twice!
once to transfer from pc/phone to Dropbox server... second time back from Dropbox server to phone/pc
the first method using wifi LAN doesn't use your internet, not limit, at all
Hello,
I am trying to flash philz touch in order to get MultiTool but my phone does not connect to Kies and does not show up on Odin. When I connect my phone using USB then it just get charged nothing else. Though the phone works well with Kies on Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
I tried re-installing drivers but still no luck.
Any suggestions?
Ok, problem fixed! Driver was the problem, I updated those through device manager and now everything is working.
Hi,
I'm having some issues where the MTP driver fails to load. Tried all the obvious stuff and did a lot of reading of forums and stuff but can't find a fix. Could anyone help me to fix it please?
Here's what hardware I have and what I've tried so far:
Tab Pro 8.4 16gb wifi UK model, rooted.
Connected via cable to Dell XPS 17, latest USB drivers installed, win 7 x64.
First of all, I enabled USB debugging and windows installed drivers for all except MTP.
Tried installing the Samsung driver package, same problem. Uninstalled at present.
Installed kies, didn't work, wouldn't even connect to the device. Uninstalled.
Followed the instructions on the wiki but the suite software installs the driver succesfully but then windows won't accept the driver. Tried the workarounds in the wiki but still no luck.
Tried rebooting the tablet and leaving the cable connected.
Tried wiping the cache.
Tried restarting both the tablet and laptop after reinstalling software and drivers, still no luck.
Found several workarounds on my travels, one was a command line for windows to add to usergroup ( it's on the laptop downstairs, will add it to the post tomorrow).
One post said to change a registry entry...really? Tried that, and another registry trick, but still no.
Using the same laptop, I had similar problems trying to flash a custom rom onto an s4, but the CM installer worked first time. I've done a fresh install of win 7 since then.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please? Is there any kind of workaround? Running out of ideas!
Thanks
Fixed this, well, kind of. Here's a quick rundown of what I did, for people like me who are struggling with connection problems.
I thought I had tried everything, was going to dump the whole thing and then remembered that I'd fixed some previous USB problems (sound card) by doing a clean boot.
First, remove Kies.
The only other thing that is required are the samsung mobile drivers from their website. I tried with and without and this would only work with them installed.
Restart your tablet, make sure MTP is selected.
You can find out how to do a clean boot for you version of windows here.
Leave your device connected via USB cable. Once you have clean booted into windows, windows will attempt to install the drivers from windows update, let it do this. It can take a minute or two to complete. You should then see a green tick in the notification area rather than the dreaded red cross.
If, for some reason, the driver doesn't install first time, you can unplug and then plug back in the USB cable and this should do the trick.
What I did find, is that the connection wasn't consistent, I could restart either my laptop or tablet and then it wouldn't connect, so I'd have to go through the above process again to get it to connect.
Doing this allowed me to flash the Clockworkmod recovery with odin 3.09, but for whatever reason, I was still unable to use the recommended Eimdall suite to flash cyanogenmod.
In the end, I downloaded the CM11 zip file to my tablet (via http) and then used ES file manager to move it to the SDCard root and then clockworkmod picked it up from there.
Also, once CM was installed, there were no connection problems at all, as far as I can see.
Hopefully this will help others in the same predicament.
