Ok, so i'm working the overnight shift at work and I was trying to find a way to connext my Vib to my laptop and be able to send and receive my text messages through my PC while I watch a movie (on the companies dime of course)anyway, i've used PDAnet before and never had a problem with it but now for some reason it said I had to reinstall the PC client. so I was doing this and it seemed to be installing ok but then i got some retarded error message and just gave up trying. now i'm connecting my phone to my pc and I can access the SD card but it won't recognize ADB. i have debugging on and Its still not recognizing the device. droid explorer doesn't recognize it and neither does kies. i tried downloading the drivers from the Samsung website and when i tried installing them I get an error message that I have to uninstall the drivers then try again. can anyone help? idk what happened?>?

I had same thing. In my case few times unplug the cable and plug back in helped. Weird but true. You can check if you can make connection via wi-fi ( kies wi-fi in phone settings) i was able to do it from very beginning before i got kies via cable sorted out.
Make sure your phone is unlocked when you plug it in. I spent a bit of time trying to get it talking initially including rebooting my phone, the PC, the phone & the PC. Turned out unnlocking the phone did the trick.
in settings/applications/development, make sure the USB debugging box is unticked.
I've tried those things too.
My notebook notice my sgs2 thats no problem, the problem is my notebook doesn't install the
Samsung_android and cdc serial driver. Those 2 fail.
Wierd thing is that it can connect as mass storage.
make sure you have no apps running! and USB debugging isn't ticked.
go onto stock TW launcher [will not work with launcher pro Etc AFAIK].
open task manager, clear all running apps and clear Ram. then open Kies and when loaded connect USB.
that's how i get it to work for me anyway

That's what i tried to. But thats not the problem. Problem is that my laptop doesn't installs the cdc serial driver.

I've also tried that, it didn't work..
I've discovered what the problem is...
My browcli.dll file is corrupted and thats why it can't install the drivers correctly.
I had this exact problem, so I followed some advice I found on the web somewhere
1) uninstall kies
2) re-install kies but choose english US, as they seem to have missed out the CDC drivers for other languages!

STEPS TO USING KIES with a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SII, eye eye, anything you want to call it on Windows 7 vista or XP
1.Ensure your USB Debugging feature is not checked (when some stores copy your contacts from one fone to another, they check this box. USBD will F up your KIES.)
2. Stop your antivirus from your stock app manager.
3. Kies running on cuomputer, and phone at a home screen, plug it in.
voila.
If you have been using multiple phones over usb, or trying to root phones etc, i suggest you recover you delete any trace of usb or phone drivers on your machine, and repair your windows install. then try again.
This is how I fixed it for my scenario:
My Scenario:
few days back my SGS2 stopped recognizing apps installed on SD Card and I keep on getting "Force Close" error for installed (3rd party) apps on phone. I installed Kies on PC to backup my data before rooting my device, but Kies 2.0 was unable to read my phone. That's why i came here..
My Fix:
I uninstalled all downloaded (3rd party) apps and that fixed the issue. In all I removed more than 20 apps, that were installed on phone.
RCA:
I believe some 3rd party app or apps were messing up with my phone, my sdcard, my Kies. Anyways I am planning to root the device so my sole intention is to take back up of my data (pics, vids to be specific)
Suggestion:
1. Try connecting to Kies, after removing SD Card. It will narrow down if prob is with SDCard or SDCard data
2. Try uninstalling apps 1 by 1, to see which one is the culprit.
I had the same problem of Kies unable to connect to my phone. I could charge the phone, see it in the devices, connect through mass storage mode. Kies would even detect the phone when plugged in, tried to connect and would hang. I tried the usual steps (updated Kies, verified USB debugging is off, terminated all apps on the phone), but nothing worked.
I just rooted my phone and was concerned that something might have gone wrong in the process, resulting in the connection error, though every thing seemed to be normal. Out of desperation, I tried the diagnose connection problems button in Kies and Kies reinstalled the driver, tried connecting and rebooted the system. I tried again and this time it took much longer to install, but worked.
I suggest rebooting the system, before reinstalling Kies, as it worked after the reboot.
AHHHHHHH this is driving me nuts! I just ditched by beloved (and now very slow) cappy for a new gt9100. Great. I'm runninw Windows 7 and I can't get it to automatically install the appropriate USB drivers - the process keeps failing. So i tried to find them online and install them manually but I can't seem to find them ANYWHERE. I can transfer files to and from my phone via usb when the phone is in "mass storage" mode, other than that, as I can't find or install the right drivers i cant use samsung kies or sideload wonder etc etc. Someone please help!

Please be more specific.
What error message is given when you try to install Kies?
Do you have an administrator account?
Which stepst did you exactly take to get the drivers installed?
1. Ok. Kies is installed fine though it will not connect to my phone via usb cable - it keeps telling me to put the phone into 'kies mode" and keeps doing so even when it is.
2. Also, when i connect the phone to the 'sideload wonder machine' it will not install apps on my phone and tells me "error: device not found" and before that it tels me to make sure i have installed the correct drivers.
3. Every time i plug my phone in via usb and its not in the mass storage mode windows automatically (re)installs (even thought it has done this on every previous occasion) the 'appropriate' drivers. Sometimes windows informs me that this has occured successfully, though next time I plug my phone it it starts the process all over again and tells me the installation ahs failed.
I do have administrator privelages and I've tried searching everywhere for the correct driveers to install but cant find any....I swear it was so much easier trying to find drivers and complete installations on my captivate.
Yeah, Kies is horrible and the driver installation can be a pain. But that windows tries to install them again and again is strange, I never heard of that problem before.
Sorry mate, but *I* don't know what's going on. Hopefully somebody else can be of more assistance. Sorry!
Go into settings/applications/development and untick usb debug mode.
Your phone is now in kies mode and upon inserting your usb lead it should say mtp connection instead of usb. Hope this helps

Moving to Q&A
Ok so im trying to connect the phone USB but it gives me only options like im connecting a camera photo and scan in windows lol? how do u access the phone so that you can transfer files i dont understand, never had a problem connecting a phone this way before.
I had this problem too.
I'm using XP and I had to install a driver for windows called MTP I think it was.
Once I restarted it worked. Make sure it is in MTP mode when plugged in via USB.
Probably worth trying
EDIT: Just realised I think what actually fixed it was installing the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones (I installed 1.4.8.0 which I think was the latest)
Google it and download should do the trick
Thanks that did the trick installing USB drivers, i found them from here if anyone else has the same problem.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy GT I9100.
When I connect it to my computer I get a popup that an unrecognized usb was connected.
I tried downloading Kies but that didn't help either.
I think that my driver of Samsung got deleted somehow..and I have no idea how to install it on my computer.
Thanks in advance...
See the guide mentioned in my sig (vv)...from there, download samsung usb drivers (its there under pre-requisites) and install them...
{Don't do anything else from that guide, its not for your phone}
Also check whether android debugging is checked or not...
Installing kies should have installed the drivers, but this ^ you can try and see if it works...
Typed using a small touchscreen
I installed it and i still get the popup when i connect my device to my computer that an unrecognized usb was connected
You tried the built in windows troubleshooter? [I know its no good, coz if kies and usb drivers don't do the trick, I frankly don't think this will either...]
I could tell you to wipe data, but even that would be like shooting an arrow in the dark...
Typed using a small touchscreen
Yea I tried that already =\
Maby it's something with the hardware?
I doubt, but wouldn't rule out the possibility...
Try connecting to a different pc (which has latest kies installed)...
If that doesn't work, take it to service center...(I assume you haven't yet rooted/flashed anything)
Typed using a small touchscreen
I tried connecting it to another computer(without kies though so i'll install kies there)
that's the thing, i tried rooting it and i couldn't due to the fact that my computer didn't recognize my device.
thanks for the help btw...

Same problem. Ive done everything (reinstall, USB debugging on/off, used the Unarchiver trick, etc) and it still doesnt recognize. There's also a problem with my network, it allows me to send texts but when people respond theyre sent to my Iphone 4s that I switched from. When I connect my Note it first says as installer and then goes to media device. And when it is installer a disc pops on on my desktop call My Verizon? I have a mac, 10.8 btw.
I also apologize if I am highjacking but I did not want to make another thread with essentially the same problems.

Yea same thing is happening to me. I have a mac and Win7 and both are not detecting it. This is getting so frustrating.
Cant get it connected to my computer either so stupid
Extremely. And now my swiftkey swype on samsung keyboard is not working.
Ok uninstall all samsung stuff you have. go to "device installation settings" in windows 7 and hit never install new drivers. Download the older 1.5.6 samsung drivers and it should work. I atleast got it to show up on my computer

Has anyone found any resolve to this yet?
Install Kies 3. After a while it will let you know that the connection failed. Leave the device connected and go to the menu bar and select tools, reinstall device drivers. It will reinstall and it should work fine from there.
