How can I update my phone if I can't access Keis ?

It's been 2 weeks now -- I've tried everything:
Use TW instead of Launcher Pro (do I have to uninstall launcher pro???)
Uninstall / Reinstall software & drivers
I have done almost everything... nothing works.
When I connect the USB, and I select Keis, the phone just goes black, then pops up the USB picture, goes black, then pops up the USB picture, over and over
I would give $10 paypal to anyone who can get my Keis working.
How else am I gonna be able to update my phone to the new firm ware? to Froyo?
I'm using Bell i9000m
The only thing that works for me is to reboot the phone (holding the power button to untill it restarts) and then after the phone is fully functional/loaded put in the usb and choose kies.. and then mine connects perfectly..
Hope this helps!

Use TWLauncher no need to uninstall LP
Turn OFF Bluetooth and Sync. I find this easiest if I put the power widget on the desktop.
Open Kies and plug in USB
This is how I do it and it works every time.
I've tried everything. I'm dieing over here. If I can't connect to Keis, how the hell am I gonna get an updated firm ware ? or Froyo when it comes out ?
Im screwed.
windows 7 64 bit btw
Backup your internal SD card(put the phone in mass storage mode or something like that)
Remove your external SD card if any.
Unmount your internal SD card and format it.
Reboot and try connecting ti to Kies.
It's really weird, and I don't know why it works, but that's the fix that I've seen around and it worked for me.

Froyo 2.2 will probably be made available for installing via ODIN from here or Samsung-firmwares.com
I don't think KIES is that urgent or important/needed.
Dgovil's method works. Try disabling your launcher first just run stock.if this fails you back up your internal sd, unmount and format note this deletes your sd data

[Q] please help, applications on sd stuck on computing

Hi guys writing on this forum is now my last resort in the hopes may be someone has an idea what the hell is actually going on, my desire hd has been causing problems where when i update any of my apps they get stuck on installing, then i try to wipe the market data and cache but the whole system gets stuck on computing so i cant do anything, when i reboot the phone, the apps go away, all the sd apps dont appear, and the system still says computing for all the apps.....ive tried everything, i noticed when all this was going the android secure folder had some.-2 extensions although they werent duplicates so i moved all apps to internal storage, deleted the android secure folder and moved them all back, so they all had -1 extensions, phone worked fine for about 2 months until yesterday, was updating an app on 3g and it got stuck in the installing phase, computing came back, rebooted phone, no help, shutdown phone and back on again and all the apps were then read, took time to clear the mqrket data and cache, went to root explorer since i had stored it on phone storage, went to mnt, .asec and all the apps had the -1 extension, so now i dont know what to do....
Its a nightmare, cant update and everytime the apps do come back after repeated switching on and off of the phone, everytime i try to update an app it gets stuck on installing and computing comes back.....its wierd cuz ive changed the sd card, moved all apps from phone atorage to sd but the problems still there....right now i cant asses the sd apps, ill try rebooting and see of they come back again....ive backed manually all the android secure folder apps on my computer, ive noticed something wierd, when i move batch of 10 apps from computer to phone they are read fine and come up on the phone, i keep doing this in steps, manually mounting and then unmounting the sd card till all my apps qre transfered to the android secure folder and all are read just fine by the phone, but as soon as i do a reboot they all dissapear again, ive also noticed that when apps are working perfect they are located in the mnt, .asec directory when i view em theough root explorer, but when i the apps are not being read like right now they are located in the mnt, staging, .asec directory
Im sorry guys for the lengthy explanation but wanted to give as much information as possible, i guess what im saying is when i do manage to get my sd apps working by repeated rebooting of phone, everytime i try to update an app it gets stuck on installing and computing comes back so the whole process of reboot starts all over again, as that is the only way i can get the sd apps back....
Any help would be appreciated, thanks for the patience in reading all this, oh when the phone did work fine during the last 2 months, the only way i kept it going was because everytime i updated an app the ext-2 appeared on it, so i had to move it to phone and then back to sd card, i dont know if the -2 ext appearing is normal everytime u update an app but since i had exams going on i had to keep the phone working so i never took a chance of updating an app that was already on the -2 ext, but now i guess none of the apps are and the problems back for some reason...
Please ask questiona if this is gettin a whole lot confusing for some
any ideas
Guessing no one knows what i might be talking about then, any ideas would be helpful guys...

OK the -2 just means there was already an app there when it updated. If you uninstall the app and reinstall it then it will be a -1 app again. From your first post it looks like you have alot of apps on your SD card? What calss is your SD card? Have you tried starting from scratch and reunstalling the apps from the market one by one to see it one app is causing the issue? From the statement about computing I would try a greasy start all together. Full wipe and reinstall the rom. Then your apps one by one. Will it be long? Yeah but its then only way to slim it down and find the issue.
thanks
Thabks zelendel, that really helped, strange that its happening, only some of the apps are giving e this problem, i just unistalled all the -2 and have reinstalled them, ill keep u updated if the problem goes away, im sure its cuz of the -2 s the app stalls and multiple reboots are needed to get them working again...whereas factory reset goes, oh boy thats gona be a long one, lets see how this one goes, ill keep u updated, and thanks again for all the help...

[Q] sd-card apps problem

ive been flashing some cm7 nightlies today and finally got on cm7.2. everything is running well, but it just reboots every time apps are loading from sd card.. normally i can use the phone when sd card isnt inserted, i really dont want to wipe it, is there any way to find out what app(it has to be something, because apps stop loading in the menu at some time, and then phone hangs up) is force closing everything?

Hmm... One of the reasons why a custom MTD Partition is needed. Apps on SD won't function like apps on the the internal memory. I have apps on my SD and rarely see FCs. I would advice you check your card if it is error free. Your phone shouldn't hang.
My apps have always worked perfect from SD ext, its probably a corrupt file on your SD card and could be anything not just an app, hook it up to a pc and do a disk check, see if that helps.

i did a backup with TB, wiped data, reflashed cm7. i wanted to check which programs cause everything to FC, so i installed games first - nothing happened. so i installed rest of the apps, i mean those:
flash player
ak notepad
antutu
camera360
real drums
drums hd
convertpad
dolphin browser
elixir
fancy widgets
gg(its a communicator, i dont think so it would cause the problem)
google sky map
last fm
linpack
messenger
setcpu
sketch free
guitar solo
steam

wifikill
wikidroyd
youtube

[Q] SDcard issue on every JB ROM

i have a big issue for JB ROM, this quote is have same problem with me:
philsfan said:
Wondering if anyone can help...
on JB, stock google apps and system apps won't recognize my SD Card at all, while outside apps have no problem recognizing it...?
for example, stock Gallery app won't bring up my pictures, mxplayer wont show videos, miui file explorer cannot count/read video files, music, and pictures, however Quick Pic has no problem. Root Explorer has no problem, Titanium Backup has no problem...but trying to access music or custom notifications for gmail/sms won't show up in the system apps (gmail, mms, etc).
another thing is when I plug my phone into my computer, none of my old files are there (but like I said they show up just fine with Root Explorer or any other file explorer).
I've tried every JB Rom available for Toro, yes I've tried SuperWipe, I've done it all.
Any ideas, fellas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

#thats some reason why some user not use JB ROM unnofficial
this is 1 of thread disscusion with the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748326
A common reason for media content stored on SD cards not being shown on apps is that the sd card is not being properly scanned, this is supposed to happen everytime the phone starts... but it seems to be a common issue on ICS, even stock roms. I don't remember if JB has same issue.
I used Scan Media, from app market, then after a restart, I could access all my content again.
I've seen ppl recommends Rescan Media as well... you could try those.
It's really weird that you can't access your content when connected through usb to the computer. If you use MTP connection you could try MSC then, see if you can access them.
This is all I can think of, Good luck.

I do!!! I have recently installed this new ROM and I love it! One down of it is the battery life. But I've disabled gogle now services and my battery improved at almost 40% lol It's nice to have it but It's also annoying to charge your phone every four hours. Im retty sure there is a bug continuously running that drains the battery that fast.
NOw going back to the point, the bad problem is that my phone is not recognizing my memory card. Other programs recognize it like file manager and others but every time I go to gallery my phone doesnt recognize the pictures from it. Also the music player doesnt see the music I have on it either. Frustrating :/
I have done so far this:
1. Unmounted and re mounted the memory card using the ROM
2 Unmounted and re mounted the memory card using the ClockworkMod
3. Formatted the memory card many ways and different formats
4. Used a different (blank) memory card with one file
I also read another thread from previous codename ROMs about putting a null file on certain folders? I cant recall it right now, but theres is one thread about it. That did not work as well.
I guess we need to figure out more man. sad cuz I love this ROM

Phone not connecting to my computer anymore... Need to transfer images

So my friend, having made a move to the iPhone 6+, asked me to help her move pictures, etc. from her old phone to her new phone. Unfortunately, I don't know what went wrong and her phone (t989) won't connect to the computer. The notification that it's in USB mode doesn't show, the sd cards (internal and external) aren't being read / even visible on the computer, and it's a stupid phone that I personally want to destroy.
Caveats:
She is on Gingerbread still having never updated her phone. All her pictures are on her internal SD card too. Apps are of course restricted by her OS (but it wouldn't be that hard to find old apps, just time consuming). Google Play Store crashes frequently while downloading apps. She isn't rooted (obviously, I don't blame her since she isn't interested in all that, and the only root method seems to be to use ODIN, but that would wipe her internal clean which I don't want to do.
What I've done:
I've done a hard reset on the phone (shut down, remove battery, insert battery, turn on). Not sure if the seconds matter, but it was a quick take out, put in. Maybe a few seconds, definitely not 30 more. But when the phone turned on, her time went back to 1970 or something.
I've tried to copy the DCIM of the internal onto the external, but she has like 5k pictures and using My Files, it quits the transfer randomly without an indication where it quit or why.
AirDroid, but that gave me invalid package. Could have installed manually, but didn't have that much time and didn't think about it.
Bluetooth on the mac doesn't stay connected to the phone.
My goal:
Figure out how to connect to the computer preferably over USB. I still need to transfer her whatsapp messages too but without it showing up on the computer, I'm stuck. I've downloaded Samsung drivers, I have Samsung Kies installed. I just don't know what is wrong with it.
Any ideas? I've done all this on my laptop, but I told her to come over some day to use my desktop and see if it works on there (I was using a Windows Bootcamp partition on my macbook pro). I tried to connect the phone to OSX as well, but I didn't install Kies, which might be a reason... but the USB connected notification just doesn't want to come.
