Samsung KIES question re drivers and ODIN - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have previously installed Samsung drivers in my PC. If I now install KIES, would this reinstall the drivers again or is this a separate program ? If KIES is installed , does it always run in the background so might interfere with ODIN if I want to use that instead? Thanks

I780 won't power up after ROM upgrade

Hi,
After using Mirage to update phone using boot, pda and phone, it returned an error that phone wasn't able to switch (COM0).
After installing the usb drivers on my pc, so that the switch can be made, i tried to boot/power up my i780 but won't wont boot/power up.
Please advise..?
Simply repeat the flash procedure. Please be sure to have both ActiveSync and the Samsung Modem drivers installed on XP.
The modem drivers are needed only when flashing the phone part.
are you flashing with a rom that has "boot, pda and phone" on it? if not sure just try to flash it using the "PDA" option.
be sure that you already have the usb drivers installed..

samsung drivers

PLEASE HELP I cannot get the 32 bit drivers to DL on my PC. I'm sure I need the 32 bit drivers. Rooted my phone with them before. Wanted to take it to the next level and install CWM3. What can I do?
If you already had the drivers installed you don't need to reinstall them.
It would not load the driver. Tried to repair it through Wizard Had to Delete and reinstall
Did you try rebooting your computer after removing the drivers then reinstalling?

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.

Note II connection problem with odin

Hello,
i am using Note II GT-N7100 it's not going further samsung logo then restart automatically from the logo.
and i tried hard reset and all other things which i found by forums but nothing work. So i've read about flashing Note II with ODIN then i download ODIN v3.09 and N7100 firmware and trying flashing but my phone is not connecting to ODIN it's not showing anything and even i cannot hear ding sound windows sound when i connect my phone to the USB cable. So what should i do to use my phone again.
my phones odin information showing..
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
AND I'VE TRIED THIS WITHOUT SIM & MEMORY CARD
Enable USB debugging from developer otions, close all Kies in task manager of windows.
Look into windows hardware if there is something like your device marked as unfunctional, or even connected other than media storage (maybe as camera or so)
Update or reinstall USB driver for your device.
my phone is not opening so how can i Enable USB debugging from developer otions
@jaiffable You don't need to enable USB debugging for download mode, as the DL mode works regardless of the settings in OS. It is however needed just once, to install the driver. Check if Kies running in the background and if the crap is installed, kill all its processes with PC task manager.
Try rather Odin 1.85 or 3.04 or 3.07 instead and if the uninstalled drivers are problem, use Heimdall in Linux, it needs no drivers.

Try to run Odin as an administrator. Right click on Odin then run as administrator.

Samsung Tab S t705 Lte Bootloop

Ok so i have a Samsung Tab s t705 lte and its right now in a bootloop. So I rooted it and flashed twrp. Then i flashed xposed framework. Flash successful but it entered a bootloop. I tried uninstaller but it still remained in the bootloop. Then i restored a nandroid backup but it still is in a bootloop. I tried clearing cache and dalvik Cache and wiped data too. Still a bootloop. Now im trying to flash stock samsung rom ( i got it at sammobile) through Odin 3.09. Ive got the appropriate drivers and everything installed. Only problem is i dont know how im supposed to enable USB debugging when im in a bootloop. If you have any solutions..please let me know.
PS- Its not deodexed nor is the bootloader unlocked. Also, im an adb noob so ill need help with the commands.
Thanks in advance!
You dont need to enable usb debugging or adb. Not sure what makes you think that?
Just install the Samsung USB drivers, put your device in download mode, put the stock firmware in the AP slot of ODIN and hit start.

No the point is that I tried installing the drivers but it said installation failed, please connect device to computer to install successfully. And when i connected my device to the computer, since the drivers werent installed it couldnt recog it. and also, i dont really know much about drivers for samsung. i just downloaded smt i found off google called USB DRIVER FOR SAMSUNG auto installer. Im using a HP laptop, with a intel i5 process, windows 7, radeon graphics card. Thanks
Just download drivers from Samsung website all they do is enable your laptop to communicate with the tab......then download a older version of Oden and a rom that matches your device from update.com there you will also find a how to gide.
