download kies to ubuntu

Hi ubuntu,
I need to download kies to use with my samsung phone. It worked well with windows. Will it work with ubuntu please?

Re: download kies to ubuntu

as far as i know Samsung Kies is not available for Linux / Ubuntu.

You can try two diferent ways.

1 run it from Wine, wine is a program to run windows programs over Linux .
2 Install Virtual Box and use a virtual Windows machine to run Kies.

Re: download kies to ubuntu

If all you want to do is transfer files to and from your phone then:

and then run gmtp from the dash. It’s a great graphical android file transfer program and works well with my Samsung Tablet and my Nexus 4 phone.

Thank you Jvano. Where do I download wine please?

Re: download kies to ubuntu

You can install Wine from the Ubuntu Software Centre or from the terminal:

Re: download kies to ubuntu

Thank you timgood, I will try this at the weekend

Re: download kies to ubuntu

Doesn’t the phone show up as usb storage? Mine does but only with the proper Samsung cable.

Re: download kies to ubuntu

You don’t need to download anything to use Kies in a Linux machine.
Your computer and mobile must be in the same wifi network.
Open kies in your mobile. It will present you an URL number, something like http://192.168.0.95:8080
Type this in the adress area of your browser.
That’s it.
Go on. Be happy.

Re: download kies to ubuntu

Thank you Alberto, i will try when I get home. this network is too slow. Xmas blessings to you as well

Re: download kies to ubuntu

This looked like a perfect solution but it hasn’t worked for me, so maybe I’m missing something?

I typed http://192.168.1.4:8080/ into my SeaMonkey browser on 12.04 and it gave me

Now I couldn’t open or install kies on my android because it appears to be sw that can only be installed in a mac or winwoes, but I was able to determine
that my android’s IP was 192.168.1.4 by interrogating my wifi router.

So my question is what exactly do I have to install in my android to allow me to gain access to its files via wifi?

Does the kies installed in a mac or win device somehow access an android differently to how my Seamonkey does via wifi?

How to Connect the Samsung Galaxy Android to Linux or OpenBSD

Samsung Galaxy USB Storage

The Samsung Galaxy series certainly should be compatible with Linux. After all, they run the Android operating system, which is based on Linux. The About phone screen even shows the base Linux kernel version. This page shows how I’ve connected my SGH-T989, the T-Mobile version, running CyanogenMod, based on Android and the Linux kernel.

However, if you download the manual (11.0 MB), you see nothing about using it with computers running Linux, BSD, OS X, or any other Unix-based operating system.

Be aware that Android and therefore CyanogenMod dropped support for USB mass storage starting with Android v3.0. It used to be as easy to use as a USB thumb drive, now it takes a little work to set things up to work with the PTP/MTP protocols. The alternative is to unmount the MicroSD card, remove it from the phone and place it in a reader.

How to use the Samsung Galaxy S2 with Linux

You will need the mtpfs program, which will probably be in a package with the same name. See my page on software package management for details on how to figure out which package you need to add and how to go about that. You may want to look at the mtpfs web page for further details.

Start by selecting the MTP protocol for connecting your phone:
| Storage | | Media device (MTP)

You see me making that change below.

Connect the phone. Something like the following will appear in the Linux machine’s kernel ring buffer:

Mount it. Be patient, the mtpfs command may take about 40 seconds:

This is mounted with FUSE so root cannot read it. This gets a little strange:

Meanwhile you have access to the file systems on the phone, the internal storage and that on the SD card. Timestamps are also strange on the FUSE file system, everything’s time stamp is -1, or one second before the UNIX epoch began in 1970.

When you’re done, unmount it:

Another thing to consider: enable SSH service on your phone and connect to your phone over SSH over 802.11 wireless.

How to use the Samsung Galaxy S2 with OpenBSD

Install the libmtp , libid3tag , and flac packages:

Download and build gmtp using gmake .

Connect the phone. Something like the following will appear in the kernel ring buffer:

Run gmtp and click the Connect button. Again, expect this to take 40 seconds or so. You will get a pop-up window asking if you want to connect to the SD card or internal storage. Select one, click OK, and browse away.

CyanogenMod File Permission Mystery

My camera app stores images in /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera/ , which is the removeable Micro SD card. I have connected in over SSH using SSHDroid. Look at this strange result, I have never encountered files of mode 0075 before:

The odd mode comes from how it’s mounted, notice the fmask= and dmask= options setting the umask for this VFAT file system:

The mode is persistent, chmod 644 * runs with no error and a return value of 0, but it has no effect.

So, the dmask and fmask options are why directories and files get these strange permission masks. My real question is why those strange permissions are needed.

Update: a later version of Cyanogenmod fixed this.

WARNING:

Content below this point is now of historical interest only. Android and therefore CyanogenMod dropped support for USB mass storage starting with Android v3.0. Use the PTP/MTP protocols as described above, or simply unmount the MicroSD card and place it in a reader.

Here is how to use the Samsung Galaxy S2 with Linux or OpenBSD. The steps are exactly the same, except for the device name used in one mount command.

How did I get these screenshots? I explain how to do that here.

Start by tapping the Home button at the bottom of the display, to go to the home screen. That’s what you see at left below.

Tap the Menu button at the left side at the bottom of the display. That’s on the frame outside the display, it doesn’t appear in these screenshots!

This will bring up the main menu. At right you see how that has come up from the bottom of the home screen.

Tap the Settings button at the bottom right of the main menu.

The Settings menu will appear, as seen at right. Notice that is it taller than what fits on the screen, you can swipe the screen upward to expose the lower choices.

However, you want to tap the More. button near the top.

Within the Wireless and networks menu, tap USB utilities.

The display at right will appear. Tap the button Connect storage to PC.

A screen similar to the one seen at right will appear. This is actually a screenshot from the earlier Android 2.* or Gingerbread. One change in Android 4.* or Ice Cream Sandwich is that you cannot capture a screenshot at this point.

This may seem a little mysterious as there appears to be nothing to do but cancel. What this means is that it is time to connect the USB cable. When you do, the display will change very slightly, as the screen seen here dims. You no longer see the little Android mascot at this stage.

The operating system on the computer detects the device, and the dmesg command will display the end of the kernel ring buffer.

If your Syslog configuration file sends type kern messages of level info or higher to a log file, you might do something like the following in another command prompt before plugging in the cable. This way you will see the new kernel messages as they occur:

$ tail -f /var/log/messages

My main desktop system runs Linux and it has a number of disks, sdg and sdh are the next two disk devices available. Below is the kernel message output caused by plugging the cable into the computer:

]# dmesg

[64543.871889] sd 18:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable disk

My laptop runs OpenBSD, which has much less kernel chatter. It has just one disk, sd0 , so the new devices will be sd1 and sd2 :

]# dmesg
[. much output appears . ]
umass0 at uhub0 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 «Android Android» rev 2.00/4.00 addr 2

umodem0: data interface 2, has no CM over data, has no break
umodem0: status change notification available
ucom0 at umodem0

The first disk device will be the phone’s built-in memory, the second will also be there if you have installed a MicroSD memory card. They appear to be disks with VFAT file systems:

]# file /dev/sd[gh]
/dev/sdg: block special
/dev/sdh: block special
[root@linux

]# file -s /dev/sd[gh]
/dev/sdg: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x58, OEM-ID «android «, sectors/cluster 64, reserved sectors 60, heads 4, sectors 23607296 (volumes 32 MB) , FAT (32 bit), sectors/FAT 3797, reserved3 0x800000, serial number 0x32386133, unlabeled

]# file /dev/sd[12]i
/dev/sd1i: block special
/dev/sd2i: block special
[root@openbsd

]# file -s /dev/sd[12]i
/dev/sd1i: x86 boot sector
/dev/sd2i: x86 boot sector

Both devices have a VFAT32 file system and can be mounted. This would be done with something like these commands:

Some enormously long file names have been truncated in the below output.

Pictures taken with the phone’s camera app are stored as:
DCIM/Camera/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.jpg

Screenshots are stored as:
Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.png
On Android 2.* they were instead stored as:
ScreenCapture/SCYYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.png

Music files are stored as:
media/filename.mp3
or, optionally, as:
media/subdirectory/filename.mp3

Samsung’s Kies software does not understand subdirectories of the media directory. You can create them when the phone is mounted as a Linux storage device and put MP3 files into them, and the phone will find the files without any trouble. However, it does not organize the music by those subdirectories. If you have used the Artist and Album MP3 ID3 tags, Samsung’s Music application will present those groupings to you.

Если до сих пор (на LOR-е вижу написано о попытке запуска в январе этого года) не работает, то почему? В Samsung-е программисты криворукие, начальство Samsung-а слишком жадное (в сговоре с Микрософтом) или авторы Вайна ещё не дотянули свою программу до нужного уровня?(там-же на LOR-е был совет запускать в виртуалбоксе, да мне такой вариант не нравится)Добавлено позже Я никогда не видел работающую Samsung Kies, потому слабо представляю чем она полезна в том виде, в каком она написана. Но вот Samsung официально утверждает на своих сайтах, что с её помощью возможно менять прошивку аппаратов Samsung — вот это меня интересует.Ну конечно же не из «мусоро-Окон» — насквозь нашпигованых подозрительной по большей части мусорной корявой тормозной в силу неоптимальности проприетарщиной.Для чего нужен Linux написано в Интернетах, писать по тысячному разу некогда и лень, тем более, что тут другая тема.Добавлено позже 11:58 Satan Claus, «неоптимальности» это «не оптимально» — КАК МИНИМУМ программы в проприетарной системе могут иметь повторяющийся код в сравнении с соседями по памяти, чем заполняют память скорее, чем в открытой ОС, где одной библиотекой могут пользоваться несколько программ. Ответил по вашей просьбе. Теперь моя просьба: не засоряйте ветку оффтопиками. Линукс или Виндовс — покажет история. Совершенно нет времени и желания с вами браниться по пустякам. Вы живёте в одной системе, я в другой. Мой вопрос был вызван вполне бытовым поводом, причём если вчитаетесь в вводные, негатива к Окнам там не было. Вы начинали негатив, я вам ответил.

>»неоптимальности» это «не оптимально» — КАК МИНИМУМ программы в проприетарной >системе могут иметь повторяющийся код в сравнении с соседями по памятиВы имеете полное право придерживаться своей версии.

>Я никогда не видел работающую Samsung Kies, потому слабо представляю чем она >полезна в том виде, в каком она написана. Но вот Samsung официально утверждает на >своих сайтах, что с её помощью возможно менять прошивку аппаратов Samsung — вот >это меня интересует.Для особо одаренных, повторяю еще раз и медленно: KIES отличается свойством тормозить, работать непредсказуемо, и даже убивать телефоны при прошивке. Существует утилита, предназначенная для сервис-центров Самсунг, под названием Odin, которая на порядки стабильнее и быстрее; прошивка с ее помощью очень проста, возможности — гораздо шире, чем в говнокиесе — можно прошить отдельно ядро, отдельно — модем, отдельно — бутлоадер и т.п. Есть еще и Mobile Odin, который позволяет прошиваться прямо с телефона.>Ну конечно же не из «мусоро-Окон» — насквозь нашпигованых подозрительной по >большей части мусорной корявой тормозной в силу неоптимальности >проприетарщиной.Подскажите, гражданин с лозунгами — а KIES — не является «тормозной в силу неоптимальности проприетарщиной»? Что-то не пойму я вас. Виндовс — «тормозная проприетарщина» — по-вашему, это плохо. KIES — «тормозная проприетарщина» — по-вашему, это хорошо, и вы ее даже хотите установить. Как понимать? Двойные стандарты?Кстати — как понять словосочетание: «в силу НЕОПТИМАЛЬНОСТИ»? KIES неоптимален? Ну, в принципе, я это и утверждал — для прошивки эту программу использовать неоптимально. Хотя, если вы под словом «неоптимальности» имели в виду слово: «неоптимизированности» — то это только ваши проблемы и ваша неграмотность.В принципе, и для вас, несчастных красноглазых рыцарей консоли, написали что-то подобное Odin’у — Heimdall. Но пользоваться им лично я бы не рискнул, как и подавляющим количеством линупсоедного говнософта.

Он и под Windows еле работает.А зачем он нужен? Какая в нем необходимость? Лично я не вижу никакой. Нормальные люди (не линупсоеды) прошиваются Odin’ом или Mobile Odin’ом. Нормальные люди (не линупсоеды) бекапят контакты с помощью синхронизации с Google-аккаунтом. Так зачем нужен KIES?Впрочем, нет необходимости и в вашем говнолинупсе, где нихрена не работает.
