What's your current setup? Are you rooted? What ROM are u running? Kernel? You might need to restore the file u deleted. Also, make sure Samsung drivers are installed on ur laptop, try using a different USB cable, different USB ports, etc.

Try holding the home button and hit task manager, from there try to see if you can get to the market or even a web browser and you need to download a new launcher like launcherpro or another helauncher

Make KIES work on OSX Mountain Lion

Ok so this definitely worked for me (Finally!), so I wrote down the exact steps I took so you can try it on your machine. I haven't installed anything different on my iMac like drivers for Samsung or whatnot, but I did have a functioning KIES prior to Mountain Lion update. I uninstalled KIES since receiving Mountain Lion since it stopped working for me.
- Download the latest version of Samsung Kies: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
- Open the downloaded DMG
- Once you have the .Kies20mac_S8173.pkg file window with the "Uninstall.app", right click on the KIES20mac_S8173.pkg and open using "The Unarchiver" and extract to a folder (I created a KIES folder on my desktop)
- From here you will see a file called "contents.pkg", Right click and select "Show Package Contents"
- Double click "Payload", it will create a file called "Payload-1", (at least it did for me)
- double click "Payload-1" and it will create another file called "Payload-1-1"(the payload part seems to have just duplicated so you may only need to do this once. But keep opening until you see the Applications Folder)
- In "Payload-1-1" you'll find the Applications folder, within the Applications folder you'll see the "Kies.app".
- Transfer the Kies.App to the Applications folder and then run Kies.
Should work fine and should also detect your Galaxy S 3.
HOWEVER
If you already have KIES installed but doesn't detect your phone or keeps prompting for update, try this:
1) Open the Kies menu and select Preferences
2) Click on the Update tab at the end
3) Uncheck the 'Notify when updates are available'
4) Close and restart Kies.
5) Now try connecting your device.
Or try uninstalling your current installation of KIES and try following the steps I listed above.
FYI, I am running a rooted stock ROM for Rogers with Kalagas Theme installed.
I hope this works for you too

I got it installed, but Kies refuses to detect my phone. I reinstalled drivers and still nothing. It says "connecting" but never connects.

I had this at first but I tried a different USB port and it eventually detected my phone. I also tried toggling Camera >< MTP
I also found that using a JellyBean ROM it has a harder time detecting, I oft have to reconnect my USB a couple of times.

I thought this had been confirmed to only work if you ALREADY had Kies installed before upgrading to ML?
I tried and it doesn't work on a new install.

WHat I did was install the latest Kies for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it worked perfectly fine for me, no modifications needed.

Link?

Cool now we just need a tutorial on getting kies to run on windows!

New Kies came out yesterday. the non working version found and update. It installs on Mountain Lion and works.

Cant update with Kies (Stuck at 99%) [SOLVED]

Hi, I got a update to my Note 16hrs ago, it failed to download OTA because I was not properly connected to my Wifi.
After that I downloaded Kies and connected my phone there and got a message that I had new updates to download, but when I press ok and the download starts (preparing to update) but gets stuck at 99%.
I have tried this several times now (first time ~12hrs ago) and I have rebooted both the computer and the note several times between and even re-installed kies without any luck.
If I search for updates in the phone it says that there are not any. I am waiting for the ~38mb big upload with MultiView.
Does anyone of you maybe know what is wrong? Thanks!

Make sure that you have logged in with a Samsung account on your phone.

Go to settings then press add account. Make a Samsung account. Then try the OTA again.
If not, un install kies and go to to the directory that it installed in before. Delete that whole kies directory (there might be leftover files) then reboot your computer. Install kies again and give it a shot.

I un-installed Kies, deleted the entire Samsung folder, rebooted and installed it again, but still no luck.
Do you think that there is some kind of queue for the OTA update, since I got it once but could not download it because of the wifi and now I cant find it?

Possible. Another possibility is an error. The only way to confirm is to factory reset and try to ota again.

I finally fixed it. What I did was to deactivate my firewall and my anti-virus program and it worked. It must have been stopped by those somehow.
Thanks anyways for all the help!

Did you uninstall Kies and the drivers? Kies can be a problem. Also, do you have sdk tools installed? It comes with drivers that work for sure. Let me find the link for drivers for you, it should work. What version of windows are you both running?

Are you guys making sure you are running the application as admin during install? Also make sure you are not sandboxing the install (ie certain virus scans, firewalls, and such). Some of them will sandbox by default which can cause problems.

Broken LCD/Digitizer, Need Data Off of Device

Hey guys. SO, I recently dropped my Note II. The screen shattered, but was entirely responsive to touch input and functioned normally (besides shards of glass splintering into my fingers haha) I kept telling myself I would get it fixed "soon" and before I did, it dropped again. This time the screen was not displaying properly and no longer responded to touch except on the notification bar. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone. The screen is no longer lighting up or displaying anything but the phone still boots up as I can hear the startup sounds and flood of incoming text messages.
I previously rooted my phone, left the stock rom on....
Now my intent is to adb into the phone via laptop and usb. and making a "clockwork recovery style image" and then hopefully use an emulator to run the image to extract my data from it. Looking for any guidance or suggestions to get my data back from the device.
Any suggestions xda'ers?

This was looking like a good candidate, but I do not have any screen functionality on the device. If I had CWM instead of TWRP I might be able to guess at the volume buttons and hope I can flash the zip blindly.
Do you need to enable Terminal Emulator su on the device before connecting with adb?

How do you mean Kies? I have never used the app.

Not the app. Install it on your computer. I have known quite a few that have used the pc version of kies to pull data from their phones with no screen. I havent done it myself as I havent had the need yet. But goodluck.

I thought the kies app was just to do it over wifi?

You can connect a usb mouse + HDMI TV.

So I can push the Kies apk to my phone like installing any app using adb. Then I install Kies on my laptop and plug in my phone and then follow the prompts on screen on my laptop?

You download and install the pc version. You make sure the drivers are installed on your pc. You connect ypur phone to the computer through usb. You go through the menu on your pc to find a backup menu. You backup and pull what you need. No need for an app on the phone.

Kies was able to successfully backup my contacts for me. But how am I able to import them to a new phone. I expected the exported file to be in .vcf format. Well hoped, I expected this to happen. Also is there any desktop apps you are aware of to read the current text messages on the phone? Or rather, is their a GN2 emulator that can run using CWM recovery images to boot from? I would like to extract my bookmarks from my 3rd party browser and a couple other information from 3rd party apps.

I would like to recover my notes from noteeverything, encrypted database stored in internal memory of device. Bookmarks from Naked Browser, Bookmarks from Stock browser. My S Notes. All of my apps, their apks. I would like to also browse around my device and make sure I am not forgetting anything. If I knew of an emulator than ran CWM images that would suit all of my needs.

So I am not sure if it is just marketing, but would any/all hdmi mhl adapters work?

They mention compatibility with certain phones on each adapter.

Well in the meantime I have something that should help. And be useful when you get a replacement phone. Assuming you can boot the device into download mode, flash THIS in the PDA slot of odin. It will then automatically boot to TWRP recovery and do a nandroid backup of data. This will backup EVERYTHING in /data. You can then pull the backup to a pc via adb or windows explorer and extract what you want from it using 7zip. This will not only guarantee that you don't miss anything but as an added bonus you can just restore the nandroid to your new phone when you get it.
As for anything on internal storage, your best bet is hooking up to adb (preferably in recovery to avoid permission issues) and running adb pull /data/media/ or browsing the phone via windows explorer
EDIT: I noticed in your other thread that you aren't too skilled in the adb department. If need be I have a second copy of what I posted above with one addition. It will automatically copy the backup to your external sdcard after it's created. Let me know if you'd rather have that one instead.

It its on the internal memory I can browse it via windows explorer. But don't I also need the /system folder as well as data?
I wouldn't mind buying the adapter, it is only $5, where as a new screen is $190 + install. I am still unsure how I go about using a mouse on my device through the mhl adapter?
EDIT:
I notice that it is thru Bluetooth that you allow the device to have a mouse and keyboard. Hmm. I would not be able to force the pairing of a bluetooth keyboard/mouse would I? Without any device on-screen interaction...?
Also I was thinking I could use this toolkit to make a nandroid.
