Ok, what you need to do is copy and paste the download link into a new tab in your browser. This should automatically give you a download dialog box (no need to browse a website). Download the app, its 90 megabytes and when it is done downloading, run it. Follow the on screen prompts.

This DOES work, I know, I did it on three different machines, all running Vista, XP, and Win7.

Alternatively, you can browse to where Kies is installed (C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\Kies) and look for a file called KiesVersion.txt. Open this in Notepad and you will see one line at the top. Copy and paste the version number REPLACING whatever version is showing:

2.3.2.12064_9

(So you should have just one line showing the version number above).

Save and exit.

Note, if you choose the KiesVersion.txt method, Kies will not update correctly which is why I strongly recommend doing the first method first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
Thanks man. Your method worked for me!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
Yeah, I did all that. I downloaded the installer and clicked on it. It started installing, then asked me if I wanted to uninstall the old version of Kies. I said yes, and it started uninstalling.

And... that's as far as I can get. After that, it loops back and keeps asking me if I want to uninstall the old version of Kies.

I'll try this -- thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Maybe try uninstalling the version you have before you install the one I posted. Might be a version problem (my version that I had installed might be newer/older than yours).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TopDogg1:
Thx...i finally got it working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike21pr:
FINALLY!!!!!! Thank you so much! Downloading the newest version you posted finally got rid of the infinite updating issue plaguing me.

BTW I uninstalled the old version first before installing the new one since im seeing issues with replacing also

29% about 40 mins way to slow to download.

Edit: Received a timeout error damn!!!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] whittakerh:
Thank you for the debugging tip! This worked when I used it regularly. However, as soon as I went into download mode, it started the infinite connecting again! Any idea what is up with that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
My phone still won't connect
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NickNaylor:
Thanks, OP - finally able to get the ICS update. This whole process was a complete cluster****. Samsung should work on that.

Edit: Guess I spoke too soon. Kies was able to recognize my Note and began the update process (i.e., asked me if I wanted to update, had to agree to whatever, etc.), but after it downloads the firmware and begins "preparing firmware upgrade components" to install the upgrade it loses the connection with the phone and restarts the whole process again. Kies doesn't say anything about losing the connection - the box that shows the status of the update just closes and Kies doesn't register any connected devices (though it starts the "connecting" process again a few seconds later. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Use the link I provided in the original post to download the updated version and stick it in a folder you can find.

Completely UNINSTALL Kies.

Unplug your Note from the PC.

Reboot your PC.

Reinstall Kies using the new version you downloaded.

After installing, reboot your PC.

After your PC has rebooted, go through the process of installing the Note drivers as I described in the original post (see below). Once you reach the step of putting the phone in USB debugging mode and have plugged it into your PC, wait until AFTER Windows has told you the drivers have been correctly installed. If Windows gives you an error that the drivers did NOT install correctly, reboot and try again. You need to pay attention to the icon in the system tray, click on it to see whether it is currently installing, whether it successfully installed, or whether it failed if you arent seeing the icon animation.

MAKE SURE to watch the icon near the clock, do NOT change the USB mode on the phone until AFTER windows has told you it has installed the driver for that mode.

AFTER you have enabled USB Debugging and plugged it into your PC, wait until AFTER Windows says that it successfully installed the driver, then, WITHOUT unplugging your phone, launch Kies and proceed to update your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stkit:
Thanks for all of these suggestions. This makes complete sense but I'm still having a problem (Windows Vista 64):

- I uninstalled using Kies Uninstall tool

- I searched out and deleted all other Kies related files, including program data stored under the user profile

- I rebooted my PC

But... when I try to install Kies from the new .exe file, it goes back to the loop: uninstall / install / uninstall.

Is there something more that needs to be done to "uninstall Kies" completely? e.g. modify a registry?

PS about the "loop" it goes like this:

10 Pop up: Before you install the new version, you need to uninstall the old version of Kies

20 Me: OK

30 (it then uninstalls - allegedly)

40 Pop up: You will now install the new version.

50 Me: OK

60 goto 10

UPDATE (7/17):

I used a registry cleaning utility to wipe out Kies related keys in the registry. I was then able to install the new, downloaded version of Kies and successfully updated my phone. So... I assume the loop was caused by Kies not being able to properly uninstall itself. (Or... it could have just been me...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
There is a possibility of user account control getting in the way. Forgot to mention that before you run the installer, you need to right click on the exe and select the compatibility tab and then select 'run this program as administrator'. For whatever reason, some machines I have noticed that Windows doesnt always automatically detect when a program needs to be run as admin and it needs to in order to access everything it needs to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
Why arent people flashing ICS the way everyone else has been for months? Seems like its causing more problems than anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cubbump1:
Newer Version of Kies!

This worked great to finally upgrade my Kies to Version 9.7, however there is a newer version 2.3.2.12064.10 available so when trying to update it once again goes into the loop. Any idea as to where to find this newer version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mpflanzer:
I found this direct link at the German Samung website: downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110512115717796/Kies_2.3.2.12064_10_1.exe (Grrr...I am not allowed to post a working link since I am a new user. Sorry for that.).

Worked for me, but I had to remove the old version on my own before installing the latest version with this installer. Otherwise it got stuck in the infinite uninstall loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kvarug01:
Wow, thank you so much! This was driving me nuts, I suffered from a stupid boot loop and had to go back to stock. Another issue is really the last thing I needed, thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maestrobarako:
i encountered this before, what i did was just restart my pc, let windows installed the driver, when it was installed the connecting loop was gone..if that wont work, try to restar all over again until such time windows will install your phone..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
Like, if you unlocked, and if you wanted to keep stock asus rom (not sure why) you could have just fastboot flashed (or booted, actually no need to flash a recovery if its just for rooting purposes) twrp/cwm and from recovery flash a su.zip. That easy, once unlocked.

I have a lot of m3u files that link to a website to play. On windows I just use windows media player but I haven't been able to find one that works with Android.

The text inside the m3u file is something like this:

Thanks for any leads you may have.
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
You have playlists that link to an external source so I take it you do not own any of the mp3's associated with them? Why not just use one of the thousands of streaming sources available that work, Slacker Radio came as stock on the phone. Then there's Rhapsody, LastFM or iHeart Radio. Maybe one of them could import your m3u playlists. Last FM would be my best bet but its not free.

I have used a free market app called "just playlists" with limited success. It seems it likes to choose when it will and will not work for itself, though...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notronic:
Hey,

I need some help please...

How can I find out the apk specific bootclasspath of my Device.

The main path for deodexing all /system/framework files can I find with typing $BOOTCLASSPATH in the adb Shell.

But what can I type in the adb shell to become the correct bootclasspath for apks from the /system/app folder? (for example SystemUI.apk?)

Big Thx
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
The same BOOTCLASSPATH to deodex SystemUI is used but you also need to append :/system/framework/minimode.jar

("Missing BOOTCLASSPATH files" talks a bit about it: http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notronic:
Hey great :laugh:

Now it´s deodexing fine ^^

Thx for the link...

But it´s not possible to find out the apk specific path easier?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
Somebody may know a better way, but I ended up grabbing a ROM that was already deodexed, extracting its /system/framework folder and running apktool on each jar (having Bash installed helps) so that I could then use VoidTools' Everything to quickly search that folder for a class so that I could see what jar contains it

(Personally I hope to be seeing https://github.com/yyjdelete/brut.apktool.smali/commit/343df2f456f38c305ee7d6742f6601d9bde09715 in a baksmali build sometime soon)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notronic:
Will, nice script. You use an automatic tool with smali integration? I use always the manual method for deodexing :(

No, I'm still doing it manually, sorry. And I then have to ODEX back since I run stock :\

Hey I need help by Deodexing SecPhone.apk

the first time so I did "adb shell ls /system/framework | grep -i vtmanager" (no results for "siso" and "vt" is too small) which returned libvtmanagerjar

then

so I did "adb shell ls /system/framework | grep -i secmediarecorder" (sec/android is too generic) which returned secmediarecorder

Hello All,

I've been looking for a way to install the S3 weather Widget onto my Note I717. I'm currently using UCLF6 (official ICS) rooted, but I cant find anything. A CWM zip would be awesome. I tried extracting the apk file from a custom rom and pasting it into my /App folder but it would crash when I tried pasting the file. Any help or info would be awesome!

Thanks in Advance!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tremulant1:
Thanks for the replys, I would really like to stay on the stock Rom (Not use Goldie) but I would like to use the S3 Widget. I did find a post that flashed the S3 touchwiz but it wasn't for the Note I believe it was for the SGS2. Not sure if it would work, I guess I could Nandroid backup and reflash it and see if it works.....when I attempt it i'll let you all know. If I could extract the S3 touchwiz and widgets from a custom rom like "objection" or "Goldie" I would..but I just dont know how. As I said before I extracted the Weather/Clock Widget from the custom objection rom and placed it in the /system/app folder and rebooted but it didn't show up in the Widget selection....if theres a step i'm missing i'd gladly listen to suggestions. Maybe adding a file to the /lib folder or something? I'm willing to try anything. Thanks again for your responses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsp0704:
I took Asus weather widget realized from the hybrid rom and use it on pretty much every other rom. The way I did it is download zip and extract it. Go to /system/app/ and look for the widget apk. Copy and paste it to /system/app/ and set permission to rw-r--r-- and check the drawer for the widget. I don't know if that helps or not.

If so, can someone give me a link to one that works? thanks!

[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Came from MIUI v4 and did a factory reset, then flashed 154_5, then 198_7 and OCR-root successfully. Then failed to get unlocked!

Realized I don't have Android Recovery anymore, just a yellow triangle when Vol-Dn+Pwr and selecting Recovery. Does stock recovery get re-installed when going back to stock with 154_5 sbf?

I've done this whole procedure a few times but am by no means an expert. How can I get stock recovery back functional?

THANKS for any help!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Doballa:

Does anyone know how to get recovery back to be functional?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Once on the screen with the yellow triangle push vol up and down for options.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Ok, sorry. I have done that. Used that small menu to wipe system and cache. That allowed me to reboot the phone. However, I still don't have stock recovery. Unless that is stock recovery and only a custom recovery provides more options. Strange that it would give the error message though ....

Do you know?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
That is the stock recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Thanks!

And I thought it something to do with me not getting root. I went back from MIUI v4 by factory reset, 154_5, 198_7, rooted successfully with OCR, flashed derpunlock.sbf, but moto-fastboot oem unlock just returned <searching device>.

Flashed derpunlock.sbf again, checked drivers, no success.

Do you know what it could be. I'm ready to start over!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
no need to OEM unlock again. you only need to OEM unlock once after that just flash deprunlock and youll be unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Cool, didn't realize that. I thought factory reset and flashing 154_4 fully returns the phone to stock. So I take it from here I can just move on with installing CWM and then flashing MIUI and other Roms, right?! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Yes as long as when you power on your phone on the m logo screen it should say unlocked right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
It sure does! You have been most helpful, thank you!

In the meantime I successfully installed Jokersax's recovery, tomorrow I'll install MIUI 2.7.6. I AM STOKED!! :highfive:

For those who give a rat's ass...

After various searches within the GSIII threads, I cannot find a solution to Facebook, (web, not the app), freezing and hanging. No matter what I click on in Facebook Mobile, the browser hangs and I eventually get a message stating that "Internet is not responding", with the "WAIT" or "FORCE CLOSE" option. Now this might just be a Facebook issue with the GSIII because not only do I have a Skyrocket in which this is not an issue, but I did a warranty exchange today at AT&T, (for other reasons not relevant to this post), and I still have the same issue. Mind you, this is only on Facebook as far as I can tell at this point.
