I'm new here guys and need help. I have 2 phones: 1.5 years old Vibrant T959 and 3 months old Galaxy S4G T959V. I'm in US.
Vibrant: has been updates from 2.1 to 2.2 using Kies mini w/o any problem couple months ago. Later downloaded Z4Root from Amazon Appstore and try to run zillion times - with debugging yes, with debugging no, restart, taking battery of - application running but nothing happened after it is over. Now dowloaded Kies 2.0 and got message "device does not support Kies 2.0".
Galaxy S4G: runs original 2.2.1. As many times I've tried to connect to Kies mini, it never goes into MTP black/blue (Connected) screen after selecting "connect Kies" - it does when I select "musical player" but I think it is different mode. After installing Kies 2.0 - the same thing - no MTP screen and "device does not support Kies 2.0".
Please help - any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

If you want to connect your device to your PC via USB, you need to install the USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
First make sure you are having the right files to connect to your PC. Try these softwares, this may work for you.
1. Samsung Kies Mini Software for Galaxy S 4G.
2. Samsung Galaxy S 4G USB Drivers.
3. For any other related downloads use this link.
Remember Samsung Kies 2.0.2 Supports only the following devices
Wave(S8500), Wave525(S5250), Wave533(S5330), Wave723(S7230E

Attempting to update new Vibrant (Galaxy S) using "Unleash the beast v0.1" - post reboot my XP machine is asking for a "Gadget Serial" driver. I've been looking around for such a beast but not having much success. The phone is displaying a lovely "Do not turn off target!!" error too. Makes me a tad nervous.
Suggestions?
[Solution]
FWIW: This can be fixed by downloading "PC Studio" from Samsung. (This board isn't letting me post the link but you can search on the Samsung main site).
I tried installing that pc studio. Did not work. I have windows vista-64 bit.
Same problem
Hi I'm new in this forum and new to Android also.
I'm having the exact same problem, when I'm trying to flash my phone (AT&T Captivate) back to stock using Odin3 One-Click Downloader my PC is asking me for a Gadget Serial Driver.
I already install ( a few times ) the Phone drivers downloaded from the Samsung site and my PC recognize my phone with no issues. My problem is when I'm in Download mode.
I have a Samsung Captivate rooted with 2.1 update 1 (JH7)
MY PC is running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
I will try the PC Studio from Samsung
Problem solved
Problem solved after installing the Samsung PC Studio. Thanks
It did not fix my problem. Is there another fix? Device manager even says that it is "other device" no drivers.
Try installing Keis mini. i had the same problem and that fixed it.

WTF are Samsung up to? Seriously?
I have a Galaxy S2 and i'm stuck on this Gadget driver issue. So I googled, found this thread and started looking. I've now found:
Kies Lite (Samsung site)
Kies 2.0 (Samsung site)
PC Studio 7.blah.blah... (Some driver download site)
PC Studio 3.blah (Samsung site)
NEW PC Studio 1.blah (Samsung site)
Talk about f*&king confused!
Oh and Kies 2.0 never finishes installing, I suspect its in a look as it sticks on "Evaulating Launch Conditions"...
WTF?
Anyone ANY clues on WHICH is the correct software AND version?
please anybody help us
I tried all of the above but nothing working. I tried on 2 different computers. one with
win7 64bit the other with winxp. both had the same problem. the stupid gadget serial
driver.
Try updating your Samsung drivers to the most recent ones:

I totally got it to work for my Galaxy SII
I remember putting my phone into some sort of usb tethering in the setting
so I just unchecked it and the drivers installed themselves
Settings> Wireless And Network > USB Utilities
and just push the connect to PC button and when you put your phone into Download mode the download wizard should install the drivers
Just so you wont switch..

Gadget Serial
None of that worked for me. Doing the following worked for me. Basically you have to tell your pc what kind of driver this "Gadget Serial" is.
Goto "Device Manager".
Find the "Gadget Serial" device.
Right click and choose select update driver.
select "browse my computer for drivers" and then choose "Let me pick the drivers to install".

Make sure you have your usb settings in the phone to Kies or to ask when you plug in. If you are running any launcher other then touch wiz, Kies will not recognize the device. So if you are running a different launcher, clear its defaults and go to the touchwiz home and then plug the USB in.
You probably downloaded the Kies for the I9000, it doesnt work on TMO Vibrant. There is no Kies for USA available for that model yet. Someone suggested to download the Kies from the Canadian Samsung site instead. I believe that Kies for USA will be made available when Froyo is released for the Vibrant.
I downloaded Kies for the USA yesterday and my Vibrant connects fine.

Where did you find this? On the Samsung site just now I get this message when looking for Kies on the US site:
Currently, there is no offiical version of Kies Stateside for the SGH-t959 (Vibrant).
I think he used the UK, or Canadian version but when you install it you select USA.
I used the Kies found @ http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as posted by abhiku in a similar thread. Works perfectly on win 7 64
Could you be more specific? That link redirects to http://www.samsung.com/apps/ which doesn't help much.
oh shiii, looks like they pulled the version i dl/d. thankfully, i store installers of this nature on a backup drive. uploaded to sharebee for ya: http://sharebee.com/8cf24208
Thanks, but that didn't solve the MPT USB driver failing.
what exactly is happening? like when you plug it in is it just saying "failed to install device" or is the pc recognizing it for usb mass storage, but nothing else. Some more details would be very helpful.
I have the home screen on TouchWiz
I plug the phone into the USB port
Several drivers install properly
I get the MTP screen on the phone for a few seconds and then it returns to the home screen. A dialog box on the computer says:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
MTP USB Device XFailed
I have tried 3 versions of Kies and 3 different USB drivers
I tried the I9000 version of kies... I could not figure out how to make it work with the Vibrant.
I dont use Outlook... what are the real benefits? I saw it an sync your music? Is there a basic guide/Q&A for Kies somewhere?
I tried to make it work on a rooted phone and it just fails.
First it wanted me to disable USB debugging, and when I did it failed to connect anyway - the software is a piece of rubbish.
Anyway Samsung states in their FAQ that Vibrant is not supported yet
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa..._ID=314807&PROD_ID=560&PG_ID=-1&PROD_SUB_ID=0
the screen on the phone just flases the mtp showing a usb plug
The version of Kies that I successfully connected the Vibrant to is 1.5.1.10074_2.
Windows did all of the driver downloading for me lol. Here is a screenshot of the SGH-T959 connected.

I get the same. This software is junk. And what I saw of the interface makes it look like it was written in the 90s.
From what I am seeing on the international side, it may be that Froyo is installed using it so I was hoping to get things working in anticipation of that. Plus, it has a movie converter so its pretty simple to convert movies to the right format.
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.

Won't work on my samsung galaxy s2 (ICS 4.0.3) - windows Xp (sweet)
hello guys. I have two samsung tab 10.1 (4g). My first one updated to 3.2 via kies easily. I have tried on a second tab (same model, using same computer, usb cable etc..), and kies does not detect it. My computer detects it fine (for drag & drop), but kies just says "please disconnect, then reconnect" or something along those lines. I've uninstalled, and used the connection troubleshoot built into kies to no avail. Please help!
This thread implies that European Galaxy Player is stuck on froyo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362386&page=3
Is that still the case for official updates?
I'm in the U.S. but unwittingly purchased a European version from amazon.
I posted a GB stock rom a long while ago for YP-G70 5.0 international. See if this is what you are looking for.
Are you using 5.0 or 4.0?
I'm using 5.0. Are there sound features missing from gingerbread international? I've seen some posts that say the sound quality sucks when upgrading.

You can update your device through kies:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
I bought the Galaxy S wifi 5.0 last week with 2.2 Froyo installed and was able to upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread via Kies.
I bought my player about a month ago have used kies several times to load stuff on to the device, and it always tells me mine is upto date. Still have 2.2.2 on it, will check again today, as Samsung have just announced a new version in 4.2 screen size, and it comes already with gb on it. Are there any tricks to get kies to do an update or trick the phone into getting kies to do an update??
i just plugged my yp-g1 (eu) in to kies and it updated in 2.3 it has a update over air like all sensible samsung devices. first u have to change usb to kies in settings though

Disclaimer: waiving responsibility. These are suggestions that worked for my device.
===
That said...
First, check if "USB Debugging" has a check by it under Settings->Applications->Development. It should NOT be checked.
Then, in Settings, under Wireless and Network, click on More... (your device might not have this step) and click on USB Settings. Kies should be clicked.
If it still doesn't connect...
[Note: you can drag and drop music, etc. directly into the device is you 1) check Mass Storage under USB Settings and 2) click the "Connect USB to Computer" when it appears (it might be under Notifications)
ASSUMING YOU'RE ON WINDOWS 7 (WinXP/Vista processes are a bit different)
Right-click that icon that looks liek a server with arrows going round and round in your System Tray. See status of drivers. If one failed, then that's your problem.
right-click My Computer and click on Manage
Go to Device Manager, then Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Check the status of the drivers by right-clicking and going into Properties.
If it gives you an option to fix it (or whatever), click it.
Otherwise, you might have to re-install the drivers. To do that, you'll need to uninstall the drivers first while the thing's plugged in. Then unplug and re-plug. It took me three tries for it to "get"
(actually, after this step on my device, I had to go back to properties, whereupon it showed the "fix (or whatever)" option under Properties and Driver Status.)
Good luck.
