Hey guys,
Yep. *NOT* connecting to Kies.
I'm in Australia. Bought my SGS2 from HK (PDA ZSKG2, CSC OZSKG2), running Gingerbread 2.3.3 and is currently rooted using Chainfire's Odin dump on these forums. Prior to rooting, i had the same issue.
I have checked via the program, i have the latest kies program downloaded (2.0.2.11071_128) - and I also have installed the USB.exe file (for the propper Samsung SGS2 drivers off the Samfirmware.com website) I also have 2 mini USB cables, they are both genuine Samsung, so worst case scenario, at least 1 of these cables should work...
Aslo as an FYI: I am using a desktop PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit OS (legit) - have not had issues running other USB2 devices o it...
THE PROBLEM:
When i plug in the cable, the phone immediately tried to connect to Kies (on ym SGS1, i had the option of Kies/media player/mass storage) but can't select anymore; when i connect, a pop-up box shows up "I9100" and asks me what program i want to use - i have ano problems with copy/paste/delete/transferring files using this method, the issue is with Kies.
When i open kies manually and plug in the phone+USB cable (or if Kies starts up automatically when cable is plugged in), it jsut gets stuck on "CONNECTING", but the phone itself never actually connects.
I have tried reinstalling the same usb.eve drivers again, restarting PC, the phone, unplug/replug in the cable and it doesn't seem to work...the funny thing, was my riisted SGS1 phone connected ti kies instantly and never had any issues with it. Can anyone lend me a hand or some advice? At the moment, i just want a simple Uuser firendly interface for restoring a tonne of my saved contats in a contacts file logged backed up form my old phone.
Cheers

Mine requires USB debugging disabled before connecting.

As i said, it works without KIes, but wonr work with it.
If i turn on USB debugging, plug in the USB cable, the error "Reconnect the device on Samsung Kies (PS Studio) mode. Current connection mode is not supported by Kies"
Any other ideas?
I might have missed exactly what you'd done, but did you actually try with USB debugging disabled / off?

It should work ! Do u use a custom rom ?
Double check USB Debugging is OFF.
Then check if you have one of those "multi mount" apps active that let you use /sdcard from phone and PC simultaniously - kill it.
Usb debug on or off makes no difference guys. Im using stock firmware, just rooted kernel...and no multi-use apps...or at least I dont think (what kind exactly?)

Im in Mexico and I also bought my Galaxy S 2 in HK and Kies is working perfect on my mac. I don't have my phone rooted so maybe its that.
Not sure if that matters, but normally you install phone drivers from Kies

I had problems connecting with kies too.
Make sure your s2 screen is turned on and unlocked
during the connection period, somehow that affected.things with me.
also reinstall kies, that may help. I think I also removed the samsung device in the device manager to force windows to reinstall the drivers.

Thanks, i'll give thgat a try when i get home. However, i now have a strong hunch i could have a phone with either faulty software or hardware:
When i plug a USB cable into my work PC to simple recharge the phone (exiting any PC Kies attempt by the phone) the stupid device tells me it cannot recharge due to the phone or batteries TEMPERATURE being too high or too low; yet the phone is not warm at all, and the room temperatures are more than optimal for its operating environmement.
Tried unplugging and plugging back in and get the same error, am going to turn the phone off now and attempt to recharge it. Dodgy HK crap....

Some quick suggestions:
* Plug the cable into the usb port in the back of the computer, not the front port or usb hub (unless it's an AC powered hub).
* Make sure you use the Samsung micro-usb cable that came with the phone
* Try with another computer, maybe the PC drivers are messed up. Uninstall them as I mentioned above.
* Try to factory reset the phone
* Change your ROM to an official Samsung one
EDIT: Regarding temperature, there are tools in the market that can show you battery temp. Regarding the message you're getting, it would be useful to show a screenshot. If I remember correctly, Power+Home shortcut will take a screenshot.

Check in windows device manager if there are any devices with question mark icons when you connect your phone.
This usually indicates a driver problem, reinstall PC Companion and/or Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS).

Hi guys had the same problem. At first my PC Companion worked fine but later my laptop would not auto pop up the PC Companion when I attached the phone via USB. PC Companion even refused to open when manually clicked. I traced my steps on everything that I changed on my laptop (programs installed etc). Finally I found that if I switched of the Windowblinds Aero Unlimited, PC Companion started working again. Something in the PC Companion UI clashes with Windowblinds.
do you have all the required drivers installed?
somebody solved the problem? I cannot connect my x10 phone to my laptop as always, this happens since new pc companion arrived to arc and neo ..... please work on that cause its very frustrating
download flashtool, and in the drivers folder, you will find Gordons gate drivers, install it, then plug in your phone to the computer. if not, pull sd card, put it directly into card reader(if you don't have one, you can buy a usb one for like $5CAD) and put a different ROM on it, plug sd card back into phone, then flash via xrecovery, then try to plug it in. I hope it works. submit reply if one method works, so others can try

I've searched the entire net for a solution for this problem, to no avail. There seems to be a confussion of whether this is a hardware or software problem (since the only person who fixed this, did it by replacing the phone!).
This is the problem:
- Every time I connect the sgs2 through USB to my computer (windows 7), it gives this error (USB Device Not recognized). I have the latest kies installed on my computer.
- The USB did work ok when I first got the phone.
- I'm on stock ROM, and the only thing I did was install CWM and do Root (back when the USB was recognized).
- If it is a hardware problem, how come I can still charge the phone through the same USB port ?
- It's not cable related nor computer related (tried different cables and computers)
- Did hard reset, still the same problem.
Update:
Out of desperation I tried to connect the Galaxy s2 to every USB port on my computer. In one of them it suddenly worked and kies synchronized perfectly. But then when I disconnected and connected it again to the same USB port, the same problem happens (USB Device Not Recognized). What the hell is this ??
Its a USB driver problem usually with PC .
Connect phone to a mainboard USB port in mass storage mode with KIES not running . Wait for windows to find drivers .
or settings on phone wrong
USB Debugging OFF Phone set to USB mass storage mode then connect cable .

Thank you very much for your help JJEgan.
Here is what I tried to do:
1. Removed Kies completely from computer.
2. Removed Samasung USB driver for mobile phone.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Tried to connect the phone as mass storage (either through enabling debug mode, or through the mass storage option inside "wirless and networks"). The connection was to a USB socket directly in the motherboard.
Nothing works.
No matter what I do, everytime I try to connect the phone to USB, I get the following alerts:

have you tried turning usb debugging off and on? i recently started having an issue with windows xp not recognizing my device. the issue started after flashing the latest version of ninphetamine kernel. i solved it by restarting both my pc and phone, then reconnecting, but i also read that if you turn usb debugging off and on it will fix it.
Thanks hondaguy, but what you suggest didn't help.
I'm starting to understand that this is a hardware problem. Probably a defective USB port on the Galaxy S2.
for samsung jet gt s8000 i had the same problem i was pulling my hair out for a while but then found some useful info from a site i cant remember...
BTW dunno if this is true for sg2 but theres two types of usb connection going on, qualcomm and samsung.
try these codes maybe work maybe not?
quallcomm usb drive *#782872#
samsung usb drive *#7426872#
key either in ur dialer and then plug usb..
Samsung Galaxy S2 - USB Device not recognized.
Hi Noam23,
Were you able to solve the issue. I am having the same with my Phone. I tried the same steps that you did... Do you think its an issue with the usb port on the phone.
I got the Samsung galaxy s2 and am using windows 7 64bit.
Thanks in advance...
Have the same problem here :-/
Yeah same problem here, started a week or so ago.
USB debugging, different cable, different ports, none of them recognising it.
Kies on the phone reckons it's connected, Kies on the laptop doesn't see that there's a device connected. When you exit Kies on the phone I get the USB not recognised message as per the above and the same code 43 message.
Wifi File Explorer at least allows me to get files on and off the phone without using usb but it would be really great to get 3G tethering back!!
after trying 3 different usb cable and different computer and laptop i use tooth brush to clean usb pin on phone and that solved the problem.
For most of you its driver problems..
Uninstall the drivers on your computers, and connect your phone again. It should then prompt to install the drivers..
Also only connect your phone without the memory card, see what happens.
Tooth Brush Saved My Life
Hey.. Thanks cassiapark, the toothbrush thing worked for me too.. It seems that a few of these tiny threads from my jeans had gone into the port.... Thanks..
Thanks for the pointers folks. Tried them all but no joy yet. A friend pointed out the portable hot spot functionality which at least allows me to tether. Any other ideas gratefully received!
It's not a lost cause - just once it's recognised the phone and loaded the drivers and it worked, briefly. Now back to not connecting unfortunately. Still, good to know it's not dead!

Solved!
OMG!!!
12 hours of intense work and research, 3 different cables, 7 pc, 1 mac with no results.
How did I did it?
The TOOTH BRUSH DID THE TRICK!!! Cleaned up the the USB pin on the phone and that solved the problem. Just make sure that the tooth brush is absolutely dry.
It seems that the conector are too small, so any thing, by little there is can block the pins.
Thank you guys!
having the same problem but the tooth brush didn't do the trick. How do you clean it exactly?
so yea... i was flashing a rom. and it went into a bootloop. so i hooked up to load a stock rom threw odin3. Mid way threw my connection decided it wanted to cut out and now my phone boots and says "firmware upgrade encountered an error." I can still get into the download mode but when i plug it into my computer it either doesnt respond or says can not install driver and names it gadget serial. tried the tooth brush.... battery died.... and now im waiting for it to charge....

Have tried all of these solutions, plus toothbrush, blowing into the phone port and the cord connector, have spent 3 hours trying to solve the issue with a Samsung live chat...nothing. Just a minute ago, I plugged in my phone to the PC, it correctly installed the drivers, Kies recognized the connection, and it starting updating my firmware!!! And then it crapped out and the PC said device not recognized, and Kies didn't recognize the device connection once again...
Anyone???
Not sure how it happened, but my PC doesn't detect my Ace when I plug it into USB. I have tried every possible solution I could find here but no luck: USB debugging ON/OFF, formatted SDCARD, factory reset, etc. I have Kies installed, able to detect other phones (SII, Xperia, etc.) but not this Ace. I have also tried other PCs but no success.
NOTE: I am now on Imaginary V3, and was on BehradGH Cyano-Ace ROM. I have tried restoring to older ROM but didn't fix this problem.
Thanks
Are you using win 7? If so go to start, plug in your ace, go to devices and printers and see if ' samsung cdma' is there. It may have a yellow triangle there. Hit uninstall drivers on right click. Then reboot and on kies "trouble shoot connection" it will install, your drivers and you will be able to mount USB storage from your device (a prompt should appear on your notifications bar)
Please note some (well, most) custom ROMs do not support kies. Don't update through it (kies), it makes a mess of it
Please hit thanks if I helped

And yes, I don't use Kies for updating ROMs, just for making sure I had the right drivers installed.

Actually I was referring to the BehradGH custom ROM. I think the problem might have started when I moved from the stock ROM to the BehradGH ROM few months back, but I was not aware of it until lately.

Well, USB tethering does show as an option in the settings but I can't enable it: it says "no USB device connected"! Does this mean that the ROM does not support tethering?
I forgot to mention that the phone is not detected by the PC even when I'm in the download mode. That's why I couldn't use odin to flash stock firmwares. I assume this has nothing to do with a problem in the current ROM, right?
Yeah, BehardGH is ancient but I bought this phone several months ago as a gift to my dad so he is not after changing ROMs. And I must solve all phone problems! That's why I need your help guys...

Hi everyone.
Finally got my S3 today (I bought one on eBay and got scammed), waiting on paypal to get my money back.
Anyway, I'm trying to use the Galaxy S3 toolkit to root it. My phone build number is IMM76D.I9300BUBLG3.
I have installed the drivers and select Android 4.0.4 (Build IMM76D XXBLG9) as my phone. I then try then to do the all in one root option (3), when in Odin I don't change anything apart from setting the PDA to the file it told me to and then press start.
Nothing happens apart from this showing up in the message box "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
Anyone got any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Hi!
I suggest you use these steps here: http://mobilecon.info/install-clockworkmod-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Also, when you were on odin, did you put your phone on Download Mode?
I hope this helps Cheers!
have you installed kies?
have you installed sdk toolkit?
have you closed the kies processes (are 3)? have you closed your antivirus?
have open odin before plugin the phone?
have you get in download mode: (vol. down)+(home)+(power) then acept the download mode with volume up.?
try using cf-root.
I have a similar problem Odin 3 doesn't recognize my phone when connected in download mode it used to do it but not anymore, I have Kies installed and always make sure it's not running.
However Odin 1.x does recognize it and that's what I've been using to flash and root since Odin 3 stopped working.

Thanks, I just tried these. Window detects my phone when I plug it in to Odin and select the PDA (I have one of the ID:Com light up). Once I turn it off though the ID:COM light goes away - then I go on into download mode my computer doesn't detect a USB device (no sounds or anything). Here I guess is my problem. Also for some reason when my phone turns on and I plug it in for the first time the PC makes a sound detecting a USB device, but then disconnects it - I replug it and it detects fine.

My Odin (The one from the link saywhatt provided) says Odin 3 V1.85, could you possibly send me a link to the one you use, please?
Thanks
^^ That's the version that works for me Odin3-v1.85 the one that comes with the JB leaks is the one that doesn't work

Yes the drivers are installed, can see them in my windows programs control panel V1.5.5.0 and yes I am in download mode.
Thanks, I just tried these. Window detects my phone when I plug it in to Odin and select the PDA (I have one of the ID:Com light up). Once I turn it off though the ID:COM light goes away - then I go on into download mode my computer doesn't detect a USB device (no sounds or anything). Here I guess is my problem. Also for some reason when my phone turns on and I plug it in for the first time the PC makes a sound detecting a USB device, but then disconnects it - I replug it and it detects fine.

from what you are saying it looks like you're plugging in then going to download mode
Instead, set up Odin with the file selected and in place, boot phone into download mode....then plug in

Correct, that is what I've been doing. Tried the method you suggest and the phone still isn't being detected when in download/Odin mode.
I think something is up with the phone anyway, at least the battery. I got it with about 5% battery so I had it on charge all night, the USB cable connected to my iPad AC socket charger (don't see why this should matter) and it only charged about to about 80% over night.

Hmmm, something isn't right there, suggest a new battery, but always flash with at least 50% battery, preferably full charge.have you tried different usb port?
Something is wrong for sure, I emailed the seller about it to see what he says. Not sure how much batteries, will have a look.
Tried multiple USB ports as I've tried on my desktop and laptop. Just trying an older version of the samsung drivers to see if it can be recognised in download mode. ((Didn't work)) .... Weird.
Are you running Odin as administrator, that's worth trying as well if you aren't already
Tried it, going to now try a 3rd computer!
Edit: Didn't work either. On the urge of giving up, not sure what else I can do.
odin with me isnt working at all ii get this messgae at first :

Odin3 v3 isn't very reliable and has been known to cause bricks.
I would stick with Odin3 v1.8

So connecting my Xperia M4 Aqua to PC results in charging only, im unable to browse files or anything. Worked just fine a week ago.
Just for the record, ive tried different USB slots, different PC's, tried USB cable on a different device and it worked fine. Tried toggling USB debugging on and off, tried MTP and MSC connecting, tried restarting device after every change. I have no locker, but ive tried locking the phone and unlocking it before/after connecting it with USB. My phone is rooted. Charging works fine. USB slot in my phone doesnt look damaged or anything. So in short: after i connect my phone to a PC via USB cable, nothing happens except charging, like if no new device was connected.

Software? Might be, could be that i missed any major software update on my phone.
When you connect M4 to PC try to install software from phone to pc. Set phone as installer and try to install PC companion from phone to PC. This was the only way to connect phone to PC for me. Does it help?

Its set as installer. Im trying to set it on and off before restarting device too, then again, my PC doesnt detect it. Is there any way to manually install it from my phone? And for the mention, the first time i connected the phone, PC Companion installed itself without problems, it used to work until a week ago. Ive tried to uninstall it as well. Now theres no Companion installed on my PC, and switching my phone to "Install Software" doesnt do anything.
Ok. One more time. Take phone. Open settings - Xperia connectivity - USB connectivity. Turn on "Install software". Connect phone to PC using USB cable. On the phone press install software. This should connect your phone to PC.
At least this was the way to connect phone to PC for me. If this works, then you'll need to do phone software repair with PC Companion. After repair this issue has gone for good.
Good luck

Thats the part where im getting confused. Where do i press install software? Its already set to "Install Software" inside Xperia connectivity. I must be blind or theres something missing.
There should be message on phone screen ( or in top toolbar)

Hmm there is none
So guys, any ideas?
Your USB slot does not have to look damaged but it can be. I damaged my USB slot when I put knee unfortunately between edge of mobile and usb cable. Charging always worked but when I wanted to transfer files I really had to find some good position for cable. Your situation looks worse. I am lucky boy because I claimed it and tommorow I am getting repaired or new mobile phone. If u did not do anything bad just claim it as me and everything is gonna be ok.
