Well I have had my share of frustration with connecting my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate to Kies i896 Rogers Mobile.
The other day, I found out there was an android update (2.3.3) for my phone so I tried to connect to Kies to get it. I was previously on 2.2 Froyo. Well.. That didnt work.
So I uninstalled the newest version of kies that I had and reinstalled an older version I had (Kies_2.0.0.11032_12_9) and it connected and worked perfectly fine.... but......
I could not update my firmware because I needed the newest version of Kies in order to download the firmware, but the newest version of Kies was the only version that didn't work so I was in a vicious circle of frustration.
I then called Samsung Technical Support and they walked me through of bunch of steps I had already known about and done and it didn't do anything. At the end, the guy on the phone said he didn't know what else to do.
I then unrooted my phone, rebooted my phone, and kies connected to it right away so I updated my firmware.
So this may be the solution some of you are looking for. It worked for me. I was going to unroot my phone before the update anyways, but I wanted to see if I could even connect to Kies first.
Give it a try. Plus if anyone knows how to root 2.3.3 please let me know. nothing is working for me.
Thanks
