Hi everyone,
My dad has recently got a Galaxy Ace and I've been trying to update the firmware from Froyo to Gingerbread with Kies. the problem is I can find no option in the settings to set the USB connection mode to "PC Suite". I've looked through every sub-menu and can't find anything, nor is the instruction manual any help. The phone will only connect in mass-storage...
Any ideas? and thanks in advance!
Rob
Try connecting phone to the PC without doing anything else.

Is the USB debugging mode enabled?
Menu - Settings - Applications - Development - USB Debugging..
It should work then..!
Thank you both!
I tried a combination of both and it works!

Ok, It got solved yesterday this way:
You do not need to reinstall drivers on PC.
You do not need to reinstall ROM or anything on your phone.
You do not need *# special codes.
You do not need a new cable or change USB port or change your phone for a new one.
It seems to me that somehow (probably for debugging, connecting and disconnecting several times) the phone locks itself in a state where it is unable to connect again through USB although it charges.
So how did I solve it? I executed this actions several times even in different order some times: disabled debugging, disconnected cable, restarted phone, connected cable, (still not recognizing), tryed to USB Theter (even when the option was disabled), reenable debugging.
Out of nothing i noticed the USB icon was there again in my phone and i was able to debug copy files etc again.
I tried disconnecting and conneceting again and it kept working correctly.
I hope this helps someone else with the same problem and probably someone fixes the bug on the OS.
Cheers!
As per the title, device manager doesn't change when I plug the phone in, tried two different computers and two different cables, flashed the stock firmware back, and still nothing.
It charges when I plug it in and SOMETIMES brings up the MTP-Initialization logo thing, but never gets any further.
Is my GS2 goosed yet again?
Edit: Tried on my PS3 as well and still charges, but won't ask to mount the SD card or anything, so I'm back to my trusty HTC HD2, wondering whether I should sell the GS2 once it's repaired and get a Galaxy Nexus...
Hah, another HD2 veteran, it's like everyone from the HD2 forum is now here... even the devs. Anyway, may be a stupid question, but are you always trying with the same USB cable?
Disable usb debug mode
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Tried two different cables as stated in my OP, and it doesn't matter whether USB Debugging is on or off. I'm taking it back to the service centre after work today, and I'm probably going to sell it after.
I've had the camera go.
I've had it not vibrating at all.
I've had problems with spots on the camera lens.
I think I'm going to put some money to the sale of it, and get a Galaxy Nexus, hopefully the built quality will be at least a little better...
Solution is in the phone
Dear All
Following are my observations and possible steps to
1. When the phone is upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and above (mine is 2.3.6) Kies stops recognizing the phones and USB connection / Serial port connections etc get reset on the phone
2. Even if proper drivers are there on the laptop (mine is Windows 7 64bit) they are not recognized
3. Device Manager shows "unknown device"
4. Updating the driver also does not result in any help
5. solution lies in the phone
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect (thanks to napi1 @ androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/447145-sgs2-kies-not-syncing-os-2-3-5-a.html#post3484588)
6. The Laptop will start recognizing the required drivers and install them
also
Phone is not recognized by laptop when it is in USB debug mode, MyPhoneExplorer does not recognize when it is not in Debug mode
Hope this helps

Thank you !!!
Unbelievable! Thank you soo Much!
Helps also on Mac 10.6.8
Thanks a lot mate..I was afraid that i'll have to take it to service center. This helped me.
thanks people!...even i had upgraded to 2.3.6 and usb mode just wouldnt work....
this solved that problem though..
Fantastic tip!
It worked! Now my S2 can be detected by the PC.
Thanks a million!
Doing a factory reset after backing up data will solve the problems.
Still Hasn't worked for me. I'm getting no USB function other than Charge. Its working as if the USB isn't plugged in at all.
Is there anyway of reinstalling the MTP application on the phone? When i find it through App manager its showing with no size and no options inside (clear data or clear cache)
Kies isn't working as far as the phone is concerned there is no USB connection at all.
I know ICS is coming within a few days for GS2 owners, will this clear the problem???
So frustrating.
Thanks in advance if anybody can help

same with mine. mine still doesnt work with the dialer *#7284# and with debugging off or on. ive unistalled and reinstalled the driver serveral times and nothing and this has happened to me on my hero and my sgs2 dozens of times, its so annoying =[. at one point i manged to get all but the usb storage drivers installed. what else can i do ???
Same problem
Same problem here, tried everything (to my knowledge). Someone told me it had to do with the battery overheating because I had use the charger from another phone. For about 2 days my phone would go on vibrate randomly and started the connection process (like a usb cable was connected). It could do that non stop for a few hours. Now that Im back to my original charger, it stoped, but still can't connect to my pc.
I tried on 3 diff PCs with diff version of windows...
I've tried everythin, debug mode on/off, reinstalled Kies, drivers, did factory reset, but nothing.. when i try to connect my SGSII to Kies, it writes "Current connection mode not supported by Kies".. I'm on Lite'ning rom v2.2..
If you're running a custom rom, why would you want to use Kies ? It's awful. There are so many other apps that have the same functionality as Kies (tho granted not one app that does everything Kies does) that work perfectly with custom roms.
Only reason to use Kies would be if you went back to stock because you wanted official ICS OTA or similar IMHO.
I did a backup with Kies, now my all contacts, sms, videos, music, calendar are in this f***in' backup file.. :| I have an awfull headache Or i can do a restore with another app, will it be compatible with Kies's backup file?
same problem. USB connection to PC will only charge. Recently updated to 2.3.6.
Tricky one.
----------EDIT---------
it worked ok after rebooting my PC. Must just be general crapiness.

This worked for me
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.

Hi all, Hope someone can save me from going insane.
I rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and installed CM9 without any problems. Now I decided to try out another rom, but when I connect data cable to my pc via usb, nothing happens.I have checked in device manager and there is a Samsung Android ADB Interface listed. I went to update drivers and it says they are up to date!!
Tried with USB bugging enabled and disabled.
I just dont understand how I am able to instal a rom one day and not the next!!
My pc is on windows 7
Tablet is running,
Android version 4.0.3
Cyanogenmod 9.0.0-RCO-p4wifi-KANG
Turn of usb debugging
Go to Settings>Storage
you'll see the settings icon in the top right corner (three dots)
click that and select Media device (MTP)
That should do the trick!
Fantastic, worked like a treat, it now connects....thank you so much really appreciate your help
hi iam on stock unrooted 2.3.4, and i downloaded the all the drivers and verified them on my device manager, but when i connect to Kies it gives a error saying "reconnect the device in samsung kies(PC studio mode) current connection not connected by Kies"?. i had a Infuse and it gave a option to go into kies mode, but i cannot find it on my S2. any help would be appreciated thanks.
