I downloaded and installed Kies 1.5.3 and all uppdates on Windows 7 (32 bit).
I plugged in my stock Tmobile (not rooted) Vibrant via USB and selected Kies. The Vibrant just sits there with a USB plug graphic taking over the screen and a series of dots going back and forth over the word connected.
On the Kies desktop there is a corresponding "Connecting the Device Box" with a cylon style glyph going back and forth.
Thats the way it stays forever, until I pull the usb cable. The Vibrant goes back to home screen and the Kies desktop connecting graphic goes away.
Did I miss some step?

Sorry but, believe me, I've been dealing with this all week and I have read every post possibly pertaining to this subject, but I can't find a fix.
Went to flash the latest Bionix and PC (Windows XP-32/64-Bit HP) won't recognize my Vibrant. It's the only machine I've ever used with this phone. I plug in and get the USB icon and the Android Debug icon in the menu bar. Pull it down and it says "USB Debugging Connected" & "USB Connected". I can "Connect USB Storage" if I like, and it says "connected", but it's never recognized by the PC no matter what.
I can go into "Media Player" mode and "KIES" and same thing, it's just the USB icon instead of the Green Android. I've changed cords. I've used all the ports, front & back. Flashed back to Nero-5. I've gone into download mode and ODIN doesn't pick it up either.
32-Bit drivers are updated, but I've been doing a lot of install/reinstalls. The last thing I did on this device was flash Bionix-V. A couple weeks later I updated my wife's stock Vibrant via KIES.
What the hell can I do now? Thanks
edit...nevermind, sorry...at least i bumped you!!
Ha! Thanks TS10. And Mounting was certainly part of the problem. I could connect the USB storage and, in fact, it would say “connect” on the phone (“You can now transfer files between your SD card and PC” or something close to that), but it would still not show up on the PC. That’s what was driving me CRAZY.
But get this… Late last night, out of total frustration, I plugged the cable into a USB hub, that was connected to a removable HDD, and suddenly the Vibrant was recognized. I couldn’t believe it. I had plugged directly into that same USB port, on the back of the machine, at least 6x. Why the hell would it connect through a USB hub?!
I have no friggin’ explanation. But I’m running the latest Bionix now! At least I though that until I just check in here.
Today I deleted some programs off my SGS2 that were in the list in the SGS2 General Forum. My phone was able to connect to the PC before that. After I uninstalled the applications on my phone, it no longer tries to talk to my computer. I have reinstalled the drivers, restarted both my computer and phone, and still nothing. I am worried it was something I uninstalled but I doubt it. I was quite careful removing the programs using Titanium Backup and they were completely unrelated in my opinion. I have a feeling it is only coincidental.
Anyhow can you please help me troubleshoot what has happened? Thanks.
Perhaps it wasn't related. I figured out how to do it with USB debugging ticked. I never had to do that before. Originally it would connect automatically with USB debugging unticked. Now it only connects with USB debugging ticked and after I say that it is 'OK' pretty much.
Still, if anyone can shed some light on what I may have uninstalled let me know. Thanks.
may not apply to you since im guessing you tried it both times on the same comp with the same OS. i find that kies hates 64 bit OS. it just wouldn't connect on my desktop running win 7 ultimate 64bit but connects just fine on my laptop running win 7 enterprise 32bit. anyway... i usually have debugging mode on anyway, much easier for me to access the phone and sd card using explorer instead of stupid kies. kies i only use for firmware updates or atleast until i've rooted this thing.
Sorry I should have mentioned that I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks, shabs52. Good to know it could be my OS that is fumbling. I would have to agree as well, Kies stinks. I can't wait until I can get a stock OS without any crapware.
Anyhow it is strange how it worked for awhile and just stopped, but debug mode is better anyway.
Win 7 x64 Kies failed always .
Wiped drive brand new Win 7 x64 install Kies no problems = bad driver install or conflicts on original setup .

I'm having this problem too
Despite my Win7 64bits, Kies always connected automatically, both with SGS2 and my previous SGS. Yesterday my SGS2 started to behave strange: when I plug the USB cable it doesn't recognizes automatically (takes a few seconds), and only starts charging the battery, but the data link is not stablished (Kies won't even recognize there is a device connected). When I remove the USB cable the charging indicator continues to show as if it still was connected (again, for a few seconds). The same with the power cord. Since the symptoms were the same in my notebook (also Win 7 64) I tried it on a Win XP 32 - same thing (different USB cables). This makes me think the problem is with the device itself. Anyone have seen this?
Try deleting the drivers on your pc for samsung usb while the phone is unplugged. Then plug back the phone and windows 7 should automatically search and install the required files...worked for me with w7 64
I already did that, but the problem persists. Today some new symptoms "arrived", which led me to this other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151863). The phone eventually enters car mode, or beeps and shows the charging indicator (even though it's not plugged). Weird. Will take to service tomorrow.
Im having this same problem with my epic touch. Was just wondering if anyone found a way to fix it.
I have a really weird problem. My computer won't recognize my SGS2 is connected to the computer at all. Meaning no notification sound, no device change in device manager, nor any prompt to install a new driver. I've tried in both MTP and Mass Storage. What's even weirder is that it detects the phone in Odin mode and even installs the correct drivers. I've tried just about everything I could think of, such as the following:
-Cleaning the microUSB port with alcohol & new tooth brush
-lifting the microUSB connector slightly
-Using a toothpick to try to pick out any residue in mUSB port.
-Connecting while TWLaucher is set as default
-Using Wireless & Network setting > USB utilities.
-Taking out the sim card and external microSD card and booting & rebooting it.
-Restoring the stock Firmware
-Different wires, including an untouched mUSB wire that came with the phone.
-Different computer that doesn't have Kies or the said drivers installed. (Still didn't make a notification sound or bring up the "new device" prompt)
I just want to make sure I tried everything possible before sending it in for repairs.
EDIT: Oh forgot to mention that I had other problems before getting to this one. About a week ago Car mode would always activate by itself constantly. Even during use. Also the phone would refuse to stay turned off. After booting down, the phone would turn off. However, after some random amount of time, the phone would turn on by itself. During that time, connecting the USB wouldn't keep charging the phone. The phone would go between connected and disconnected randomly. Sometime off and on multiple times with in seconds. Other times would charge for hours and randomly stop charging. I've gotten the phone to charge whenever its connected now by cleaning the port, but the computer still can't recognize it as a device. Also the screen will randomly turn on, plugged in or not, and I have to manually turn it off again. However, if I turn it off right away it seems to lock up. So I have to unlock the phone the press the power button again to lock and turn off the screen. Don't know if this information helps.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try another usb port, sometimes that helps or reinstall the usb drivers in Kies
Ignore, hadn't read all he'd tried.
Bump: Additional information.
Same problem here
I have exactly the same problem!!
My thought is that the USB connector get wet and stopped working properly. As fas as i know, USB connector is composed by 3 cables, one for charging, one for data transfer and another one to detect Car Dock.
It seems that Odin is using Car Dock cable (?¿?¿) instead of Data, so you can use Odin and not Data.
Also that would explain why car mode just kicks in by itself (short circuit between car cable and probably power cable).
I will also sent it to a SAT, since i tried everything via software....
I have the same problem. Try plugging into a mates laptop, see if it works on their one.
I have created a thread on this, check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642998
Really don't understand this!
Mine is showing up sometimes.. :s little hit and miss

All right, I have a lil problem that goes a little some like this...
1) Everytime a try to shut down the phone it reboots automatically!
I've also been having other problems with the phone too! and they are
2) I charge my mobile at night go to work and only, only just last when i get home after 8 - 10 hours, in that time i dont even use it! but when i disconnect it from charging fully, it takes a while to recognise that it has disconnected, displays battery still charging etc, and it makes noises that its connected and disconnected???
3) They unlock screen plays up, you'll try and drag your finger across the screen to make a pattern to unlock and it does complete the pattern or recognise where your finger is, if you wait for a little bit or lock then try again it works??? (GO LOCK installed, along with GO PRO theme!)
4) GO weather doesn't recognise your GPS positioning but the Navigation program does. (this maybe the program i dont know, its just all happening at once that all)
5)Try to connect to Samsung Kies Pc studio to update the firmware and mobile, and i keep getting a message saying 'Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported be Kies. (and this is with the updated Kies program)
6) Now when i turn it off and restarts it's self, it hangs on at shut down flashing between two picture, the battery status picture and saying its overheated, when now it doesn't overheat like it was doing earlier or even get hot at all??? And to get it outta this mode i have to put a charger in it and turn it back on and take it out
What i have done so far:
a) I've uninstalled all the 'GO' apps
b) followed the Samsung Kies instructions and still same problem
c) tried going throught the mobile's options to turn on or off anything to do with USB sharing and bebugging, and keeps telling me that the usb cable is to be disconnected when it is not???
All i can relate this to is when, one time while i was working i put my mobile away in the glove box of the work vehicle, i returned to it at the end of the day and remember my mobile would be flat at this stage, so i was gonna check the time, and i sore the mobile had SOME how went into 'ODIN' mode, NO one ever touched it, nor did i do anything to it to do this, and sore it was trying to download something? I panicked, try to turn it off, and wouldn't turn back on till i got a charger into it.
So now i am thinking this maybe to problem 'ODIN' mode when i forced it to shut down!, but from here this is where i need help? What is first

Ok, wired thing just happened, i was stuffing around, my mobile was connected by usb to the computer charging, and it reached 100% so i disconnected it and was playing through the menus again, trying to disable debugging mode and... it finally disconnected!
So i was able to connected to Kies, checking everything and it was saying that i had the latest updates and firmware, is this true because i've been reading other wise and was wondering, if there is a better update then i've got, cause i've still got all the other same problems!
So what do i do, reinstall, update??? i have no idea!
The problems with the phone restarting and not disconnecting is probably your micro usb connection on the phone. Try cleaning it.

When I plug my AT&T LG Optimus G into my computer, an "LGE Mobile" window pops up, and I have the option to AutoRun. Whether I click it or not, within a few seconds, the drive is unmounted and "Device driver software was not successfully installed" pops up in the taskbar. I've installed the LGUnitedMobileDriver a few times to no avail.
This is happening on both my work iMac running Windows 7 in Boot Camp and at home on my PC with Windows 7. I've gotten it to work before, but I am unable to replicate whatever I did before. I did something like plug it in, change it to Charge Only on the phone, unplug it, plug it back in, set to Media sync, and then it worked. But that's not working now.
Any ideas?
