Kies says there's a new firmware update

Nevermind! My Samsung Kies was just being incredibly stupid. It isn't a new update at all. Well, that was disappointing. Feel free to delete this useless thread.

Samsung Kies requires update to USB driver (Note 3) and crashes Windows 10

Hi there,
I'm having this problem when I try and update my OS on my Note 3 SM-N900W using Samsung Kies version 3.2.15072_2 on my Windows 10 Machine. Each time is the same - Kies connects fine to the Note 3, and notices there is an update - do I want it - OF COURSE!!! So I select that, and then Kies informs me it needs to update the USB driver before it proceeds - please unplug the phone. Then a message this could take a while. After about 1 minute I get the BSOD and windows apologizes but it received an error - attached - and must restart. EVERY TIME!







Tried manually installing the Samsung USB driver but Kies doesn't care - wants to do it for me. Yes, I granted Kies permission to make changes to the computer.

This also is happening with my Samsung Galaxy TabS 8.4 - since the issue is the same I have only started one thread. I've spent hours searching online - driving me crazy!

Suggestions?
Thanks!

Stuck on KIES recovery screen after wrong firmware flash

Due to a wrong firmware flash on my GT-I9505 LTE my fhone is stuck on the Kies recovery screen(yellow triangel with two screens) I can get into download mode but Odin dont see the phone because USB debugging is off.

When i connect to KIES and choose initialize and firmware upgrade and y type in Model: GT-I9505 +the correct S/N i get the error : CAN'T INITIALIZE.

Someone who has a solution on this?

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode Kies & try again

HI all,

I did the stupid thing of installing CWM on my SGII Plus without wiping everything before, so Odin failed the process and now I'm stuck on this screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode Kies & try again".
The problem is that I can't connect my device to Kies because it stays forever on the "Connection..." phase.
The other problem is that I can enter in download mode on my device, but Odin doesn't see the phone because I haven't its drivers and Kies doesn't download them.

What can I do? I really need help.

Thanks in advance

Kies 3 and debloat

Hey ya'll, quick question for you. So I recently ran the Samsung Debloat zip to get rid of all the unused apps, but after running it Kies can't find my phone. So what does Kies need that gets removed from debloating?
