Rooted my phone exactly how the guide told me to, and now my phone wont communicate with my computer, i cant put files, music or anything else on my phone. It wont communicate with kies, kies air, doubletwist, and doesn't let me explore files. Any help would be great. And i tried searching and couldnt find the thread, could someone link me the thread to do a full system restart on my phone in case i need to return it?
Here's the thread from Entropy on restoring back to stock, either rooted or unrooted.

As to your issue, so even if you attempt to connect via an IP address, it doesn't work? Have you tried the 'Wifi File Transfer' app in the Marketplace by chance?
I did try Wifi File Transfer app and it did the same thing as kies air and doubletwist wifi sync, and just said there was a network error.
I restored it back to factory default and everything is working fine now, ill try another method of rooting it and see if there is a difference.
My brother (Spring S II) and I (AT&T S II) are experiencing the same issues. However on my mac they connect fine. What gives?

Hey, whenever I connect my phone to my laptop I don't get any options for what I want to do. I went into the setting to try and connect manually but I can't seem to do it.
My phone charges when I connect it to my laptop but nothing else.
The problems started after I flashed Cronos Droid 1.7.1. I also lost the market app when I flashed Cronos 1.7.1.
I have tried re-flashing the ROM but that didn't work, I have also tried doing a nandroid backup but for some reason all of my backups were gone. I think there might be something wrong with my SD card but I don't know how to check.
Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix this?
try downloading dual mount SD widget (needs rooted phone).
This might alllow you to mount your phone to your laptop.
If this doesnt work, try connecting your phone to another computer and see what happens.
Hope this helps
Searched and did not find this in the Vibrant forum.
My Vibrant suddenly will not mount. I have it set to MASS STORAGE as it always has been, and now it won't bring up the USB notification on the phone and I get a USB Device not recognized error in Windows XP and Windows 7.
The phone is NOT rooted. I flashed JI2 with ODIN. I know it worked after that because I copied back my music movies and games back to the Vibrant from pc's running XP and 7.
Any ideas?
I had that happen to me, too, after I had soft-bricked my phone and then tried to use Odin to recover. I ended up getting the phone back through Clockwork Recovery, but by then it had stopped being recognized in Windows. Try re-installing the drivers (available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929). That fixed the problem for me.
Tried those, don't work for me. Not sure what the heck is going on. Finally get the phone working nicely with the JI2 update and now this...sheesh.
Any other suggestions?? I confirmed that it's not a driver issue, I tried my coworkers vibrant on my PC and his and it mounts fine. When I connect mine, same old error. I even did a factory reset, same results.
I have the exact same problem.. my vibrant soft bricked, so I reflashed stock rom with ODIN and it seemed to be fine.. then after a while it just stopped being recognized on my computer. Tried both on mine and my husband's. It's not the drivers, I've installed and reinstalled. There doesn't seem to be any fix for this??
sorry to bump an old thread but was there ever a solution for this?

I don't know if it's the drivers. I think it has something to do with Odin. I softbricked my vibrant twice and had to use Eugene's Froyo that won't brick then back to 2.1 and finally a custom rom. I think somewhere in there something happened...
I havent used odin lately . It was working fine then it just stoped working . I got the drives to show up but it window say "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it" .
Couple of things you can try:
1) Try setting the USB mode to Samsung Kies. Somehow, mass storage never worked for me, but Kies mode works just fine.
2) Try installing ES File Explorer from the market. With that you can get into a home network while on WiFi, thus allowing you to transfer data between your computer and phone using your WiFi network, thereby eliminating the need for cables.
So far I've done a few things and i still get "USB device not recognized" .
Here's what I've done .
1) reinstalled drivers
2) formatted internal and external
3) restored to a previous nandroid

Is it recognized in any other computer ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Mine is not recognized by any computer, by odin or kies at all. This happened after I flashed a rom using odin fixing a soft brick. I don't know if it is a hardware problem or not, I have flashed to different roms using rom manager and usb is still not being recognized.

So after searching the vast horizons of XDA I haven't found an answer that really helped me. Nor have I found someone with this distinct issue. I have an unlocked Samsung Vibrant. I have not rooted it. I updated to J16 with that P.O.S. Kies Mini a few months ago. I hadn't noticed this problem until the last month or so but I haven't had time to sit down and curse at my computer long enough or offer supplications to Google until now. I've just been using Awesome Drop to get what few files I wanted onto my phone. I've had enough of that now. And...I also want to update it to Froyo but I can't do that if I can't get my computer to see my phone. I'm running a Toshiba Satellite A205 with Windows Vista 32bit.
I have checked the drivers and as far as I can tell, I'm using the right ones. I downloaded Kies Mini again today (I deleted it after I was finished with J16 because I wanted it as far away from me as possible) and it seemed to say something about downloading drivers as well. I tried plugging in my phone. Nothing new. So, I went in search of drivers again. I have searched and tried a few different ones but nothing has solved my problem.
The phone charges fine from my laptop. It hooks up immediately and charges without a problem. Unfortunately, my phone seems to regard the PC as a complex wall-wart. Debugging on/off, USB Settings on Mass Storage, Kies, or Ask on connection, it doesn't matter. It doesn't give me the option to "mount" as it has in the past. It doesn't do anything except charge. I've seen some people say it's a problem with their cables (I've only got one at the moment) but since my phone charges fine, how can it be a problem with the cable?
Only thing I hadn't tried was a factory reset. So, I sucked it up and tried that. Nope. No change. At this point I'm wondering if it's a hardware problem, not a software problem.
I'm out of ideas. Anybody else?
Well you can always root it, install ROM manager from the market, install clockwork recovery, download the ROM you want to install in flashable .zip format from your phone and flash away. A new ROM might fix your USB issue.
If you don't want to root it, see if you can get into download mode, and flash a new ROM using Odin. I would check with a different cable first, just to be sure that's not the problem though. It might save you some headaches.
If it was me, I would just root it and load a custom 2.2 ROM. I would also get Titanium Backup from the market and backup my apps and would do a nandroid backup from recovery before flashing anything new just to be on the safe side.
There's some good info on how to do most of that in this sticky post.

Hi can somebody help me , how to connect SGS2 to Kies via wifi ? ( not the Kies Air one ) , but there is an option on " wireless and network " setting,it supports synchronization with kies via wifi . thank you in advance. help
So why dont you use the Kies Air there nothing wrong with connecting to computer via this mode...
I may be wrong but I think this is the way you connect using the KA.
The thing is I just want to try it out since we have this function so why not use it ?, I think it's not the same as Kies Air , anyway thank you for your suggestion .
You start Kies, then you go to your phone and start "Kies Wifi", your computer asks you to accept the connection ... that's it.
speaks for itself I think.
I've tried many times before and it's said " No Device " but with kies air no problem , is it just me or anybody having the same issue ?
those two are completely different!
Kies Air gives you access to your phone's internal sdcard letting you copy/move/delete/whatever files via the (!!) webbrowser!
Kies WiFi establishes a connection between the phone and Kies Software on your Computer via WiFi. You start Kies on your computer, start Kies Wifi on your phone, wait until it shows your computer in the list (assuming you are in the same network), click on the computer in the list and then accept the request on your computer. Kies is recognizing the phone and you are connected.
No device means there is no connection. Make sure you are in the same network, otherwise it won't work!
Thank you for your suggestion , but everytime I tried to connect to kies via wifi nothing happened except it just show me only my network name ( see the attachment below ) and yes both devices connected to the same network.
i have the same problem and did not get any solution yet and by the way do u have any wifi problems like u r connected to the wireless network but there is no internet data transfer please any one help
I've had the same problem, scanning for devices and the computer doesn't show up.
Try'd turning wifi off and on, restarting phone and it still didn't work. Computer has no firewall running at all, so its not getting blocked.
Try'd it a day later, it worked again :/
not helpful but just make sure your computer has been restarted recently, just to make sure the 2 (i think) kies process's are running in the background
can anyone upload a copy of kies wifi backup plzzzz
i uninstalled it by accident using titanium backup, from my wife's SII :s
Here is a step by step walkthrough and video http://www.careace.net/2011/05/03/how-to-download-and-use-kies-air/ for the Samsung Captivate; should work similarly for the GS2.

Ok basically I used to use Omega v29 with Siyah Kernel as I was impatient for JB on my unbranded phone, and I’d heard good things about Omega.
Then I9300XXDLJ4 leaked and I decided to return to stock, so I did the following steps…
Mega wiped via recovery (twice just to be sure)
Wiped Dalvik/factory reset/cache
Flashed LJ4 via Odin
Wiped again after flashing
Then I noticed my CSC was set to ‘KOR’ so I downloaded an app from the play store to change it back to ‘BTU’, connected to Kies and it found the phone just fine.
Then I rooted my phone using CF-Root 6.4
Flashed Extended power menu for LJ4
It then gave an error message when I connected the device to Kies, it wouldn’t even let me access the phone via Kies let alone check for software updates. Sorry I don’t have the error message to hand but it gave me the option to report the error and it seemed to say that it wasn’t able to verify the device name contained in the Kies folder on my HD (i.e XXDLJ4 etc)
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies and it still gave the same error.
I then downloaded Triangle away and rest my counter, after doing a further factory reset/format and when I connected my phone to Kies it connected just fine and said i had the latest firmware. However this morning when I connected to Kies (after freezing/disabling apps in TB, installing Busybox and turning Traingle away off from start up using All In One toolbox) it gave me the same error message.
Not sure what else to try, my phone wont even connect to Kies (to backup contacts etc) and I know there are other methods I can use to backup/update but I’d prefer Kies still to work as I know it has worked previously, any ideas at all on what I can do get it to work again? I've searched high and low for a solution but most of the replies seem to suggest doing things i've already tried.
Thanks
You do know that Google backs up contacts, apps, settings and wifi passwords right??

I know there is that feature on the phone but i have ive had it turned off for as long as i can remember as i did all my backing up via Kies & TB.
If i can't get Kies to work though then i may have to go down this route, does it completely restore contacts with pictures etc when you back them up?
Yeah....backs up everything....kies sucks in my opinion

I may go down the Nadroid backup/TB/backup contacts to sdcard route, although thats not really the point, Kies was has worked before when rooted and now it doesnt so i'd still like to fix it.
