How do you properly disconnect the phone and reconnect it to update using SE PC companion?
I can't get the hang out it and I already damaged my sd card [that I had to reformat after] while disconnecting improperly. Someone please walk me through the update steps properly.
turn off
turn off the phone and power on again.
If its not updating, repairing or transferring you can safely disconnect by pulling microusb cable
Connect x10 to computer so pc companion recognizes it. Follow steps. To enter flash mode just disconnect cable from computer and turn off x10. After 5 sec hold back key and reconnect usb cable to computer.
Mind takin some.snapshot of the app? Or a little video? So.maybe developers know what they have to handle whit thanks I didn't try it I dont know if I should lollol

you know when you have to disconnect usb from phone and pc; close phone for 5 seconds, turn on then reconnect usb--- the part I have a problem is when you have to press back and connect the usb--> it doesn't work
tell me the proper technique.

It detects the phone but only for 5 seconds, and 6th second it detects the phone again. but only for 5 seconds... did i totally screwed up? do i have now only a 400€ brick? please help!
Run seus again.
Try charging it first. Or use SE update service rather than pc companion.

maybe a battery boot?? take out battery plug usb in run seus then put battery back in let it find it.
cant run seus because computer doest recognize it for long enough. also already tried charging and nothing
i dont know your setup did you have xrecovery, if so boot up on sony ericsson screen tap the left arrow button the back button repeatedly, if you have it and backed it up it should allow you to recover.
here is the problem...i didnt make any backup :S
**** happens damn :O
My phone will charge only, the computer will not make a sound as if its connected. I have used usb view and device manager the computer just doesn't see it. I also can't see it under the command prompt (adb Devices). Rebooted it many times tried the connect pc changing that making sure its on always ask, I reset it back to default. I am using the factory usb as well as tried a few others along with using multiple computers to rule out a computer and usb problem.
Can anyone help
Make sure you are not paying so much attention to your computer and more to the phone. Depending on what ROM you are running if you connect it to the computer the phone will show a USB connected but you have to press a button to finish the connection (on the phone) it is usually a swipe down from task bar look for it, that is how it is on the ROM I am running A05PTH3ORY. Make sure to thank me if this help you.
This may not apply if the PC doesn't see it at all, but you can give it a shot.
Put your phone into Internet Pass Through mode. After 30 seconds (or more, not less), put it back into Disk Drive mode.

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.

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.

hi all
when i connect my gs2 to the pc (with the usb cable) it automatically connects and writes "mtp connected" and then "usb connected" without pressing anything.
then everything works just fine:
on the pc (in "my computer") i can see and go to "My Computer\GT-I9100" where
i can see 2 directories "Card" and "Phone" and i can copy and paste and delete files.
however when i want to disconnect the device i dont have any "eject" option:
1. no usb icon in system tray where i can right click and eject.
2. no way to eject using right click on the "My Computer\GT-I9100" icon
the only thing i can do is simply pool the usb out and i dont think its healthy.
any Thoughts ?
thanks
When MTP mode is on, just press the home button. Or go settings>applications>development >USB debugging and make sure it's ticked, this will ensure it doesn't go to MTP mode every time you connect it to a computer.

1) Hmm... when should i press the home button to eject my phone ? i tried pressing it while its locked and also when its unlocked, nothing happened.
2) what difference does it make if i have it set in usb debugging mode or not?
As you can see, i am really noob at this, sorry.
Thanks for Your reply
there is no eject button as the phone does not anything
the drivers on the computer that do all work when you you plug in the phone and display the phone menus. If you don't do anything, it will charge your phone.
when the battery is full, you will just disconnect it as you would with the charger.
It will not hurt the phone as the phone is designed to have the cable weither it is for charging or computer to be pulled out when the job is done.
so i just pull the usb cable and thats it ? nothing weird will happen ?
the eject option is on the windows explorer

nothing will happen, I have charged and transfered files with my computer.
Ok so here's the problem, when I plug in the USB cable I don't get any drives mounted on my Windows 7 PC. It worked when I got it on release day, I have no idea what the issue is now. I'm running stock everything.
When I go to USB Mass Storage in the settings and hit Connect to storage PC it says "USB is connected remove the cable." When I remove the cable it does nothing obviously.
When I hit the button without a USB cable it says "Connect USB cable to use mass storage." Plug in the cable, does nothing.
Any idea?
Reboot the phone you idiot!

You can can also use Kies or another wifi file transfer app to remove the need for cables if you have a wifi set up.
I had to read the thread twice because i couldn't figure out why you didn't lay into the jerk that called you an idiot. Then I saw that you were the jerk. Very funny.
Another option is Airdroid in the Market. Lets you connect without cables.
Glad you got it sorted out. Reboot the phone and\or the PC usually fixes a lot of issues.
What you have to do is press connect as usb storage then plug the phone in. You can't have the phone plugged in and press the button to enable it.

Hey it's my old thread! Anyway I did it that way and any other way you could think of trying to get it to work. Then I remembered the second rule of troubleshooting (first being make sure its plugged in) reboot! And it worked fine after that.
Then for a chuckle I had to go mock myself.
