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
Rumble
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.
Hi can somebody help me , how to connect SGS2 to Kies via wifi ? ( not the Kies Air one ) , but there is an option on " wireless and network " setting,it supports synchronization with kies via wifi . thank you in advance. help
So why dont you use the Kies Air there nothing wrong with connecting to computer via this mode...
I may be wrong but I think this is the way you connect using the KA.
The thing is I just want to try it out since we have this function so why not use it ?, I think it's not the same as Kies Air , anyway thank you for your suggestion .
You start Kies, then you go to your phone and start "Kies Wifi", your computer asks you to accept the connection ... that's it.
speaks for itself I think.
I've tried many times before and it's said " No Device " but with kies air no problem , is it just me or anybody having the same issue ?
those two are completely different!
Kies Air gives you access to your phone's internal sdcard letting you copy/move/delete/whatever files via the (!!) webbrowser!
Kies WiFi establishes a connection between the phone and Kies Software on your Computer via WiFi. You start Kies on your computer, start Kies Wifi on your phone, wait until it shows your computer in the list (assuming you are in the same network), click on the computer in the list and then accept the request on your computer. Kies is recognizing the phone and you are connected.
No device means there is no connection. Make sure you are in the same network, otherwise it won't work!
Thank you for your suggestion , but everytime I tried to connect to kies via wifi nothing happened except it just show me only my network name ( see the attachment below ) and yes both devices connected to the same network.
i have the same problem and did not get any solution yet and by the way do u have any wifi problems like u r connected to the wireless network but there is no internet data transfer please any one help
I've had the same problem, scanning for devices and the computer doesn't show up.
Try'd turning wifi off and on, restarting phone and it still didn't work. Computer has no firewall running at all, so its not getting blocked.
Try'd it a day later, it worked again :/
not helpful but just make sure your computer has been restarted recently, just to make sure the 2 (i think) kies process's are running in the background
can anyone upload a copy of kies wifi backup plzzzz
i uninstalled it by accident using titanium backup, from my wife's SII :s
Here is a step by step walkthrough and video http://www.careace.net/2011/05/03/how-to-download-and-use-kies-air/ for the Samsung Captivate; should work similarly for the GS2.

Hi guys! A new problem has started today with the latest version of Kies (Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_2). It fails to connect with the phone and shows the error, "cannot start service on this device. Pls disconnect and reconnect the device". What does this mean? Have tried everything. From re-installing Kies to re-installing device drivers using the Connection Error Resolution thing in the Tools menu of Kies. It was connecting fine till yesterday.
My laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium which is fully updated. And my phone is CF Rooted KF3 with Stock Kernel. Does anyone know what's wrong?
Windows is not starting the service Kies .
Go to your Windows services manager and check .

Hi JJ, I opened "Services" in windows, and in the list of Services, there is no service with the name KIES or Samsung Kies. Can you pls give a detailed answer. Thanks in advance.
Point to be noted is that this new version of Kies was working fine till yesterday, only from today it is not connecting the phone. When I un-install and re-install Kies, it connects properly and detects the phone (when connected via USB cable) just ONCE. After that whenever I try to connect the phone Kies is giving the error message. Also note, that I am able to view the contents of the phone normally via Windows.
Does anyone have the answer to this problem??? This problem of Kies not recognizing the phone when connected is being faced by many people. Has Kies stopped recognizing rooted phones???
My newly purchase from carrier also can't connect to pc. (xp )fail to find any driver when connect, namely those cdc serial and android mtp
I bought my P7510 not too long ago, which already was at HC 3.2. Kies will not recognize this tablet [stock HC 3.2, USB Debugging off] over USB, but does it over Kies-WiFi. I installed the latest version of Kies, and the USB connection starts up in MTP mode, but the Kies device-recognize-spinner keeps on spinning, and will not resolve the 'unknown' device.
The host-system (Win Vista X64) does recognize the tablet fine.
As HC 3.2 no longer supports the USB Kies (= USB data) mode, I would like to know what could be done to fix this, as Kies does not support Firmware update over Wifi-Kies.
I have been able to run the Wifi native update (got 3.2.1 like that), but I would like to be able to get Kies running over USB.
New Version of KIES is available
Been having exactly the same problems with my (never rooted) new in January GT-P7510 since the last firmware/KIES2 upgrade. Have tried all the fixes in XDA and other forums - wasted hours to no effect. Ended up with 15 device entries for 7510 in my Windows 7 (64) Autoplay list.
Try dowloading the latest KIES_2.2.0.12014_18_8.exe released 8 Mar 2012 from Samsung support. First uninstall both the SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones and then Samsung Kies using Control Panel/Programs & Features before you run the new KIES installer.
When KIES finishes installing itself and the USB drivers, fire it up and you'll get KIESPDLR.exe wanting to make changes. If you allow this you'll see the message "There are new components for SAMSUNG KIES.... updates for firmware management ... do you want to upgrade now?" - cancel this as it will not change anything and other posters have said it causes the connection problem.
You're ready to plug in the Tab USB cable now - don't get too excited though there are problems coming. Plug in the 7510 USB cable - preferably in a motherboard USB socket, rather than a hub-based USB socket. The usual storm of device driver installation follows - the first of which always seems to fail - "SAMSUNG USB Mobile Device driver instal failed". Leave KIES to do its thing and you'll get the same error as previously "Cannot start service on this device. Disconnect and reconnect...". Do this and the same thing happens, but this time no new drivers are installed. Stay in KIES and disconnect the 7510 and run the KIES troublshooter under Options - this reinstalls the USB drivers and which manages to get the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device installed OK this time (and adds yet another 7510 device to your Autoplay list as a bonus...). Reconnect the 7510 and you'll be no further forward - same connection problem followed by error and request to restart the PC. Leave the 7510 connected to your PC and restart the PC.
On restart you should arrive at your usual desktop with no new deice driver installation. Go into Control Panel/Devices & Printers and you'll see a GT-P710 device with an exclamation against it - "Device cannot start - Code 10" error. Click on the "Troubleshooting" option and it will offer to reinstall a driver so let it apply this fix. It will fail on the SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device installation however. Now unplug the 7510 and plug it back in again. Yet another attempt to install a device driver follows - this time successful so you should see "GT-P7510 installed - ready to use". Followed by the Windows Autoplay box popping up - just close it as soon as you see it. You'll also see the KIESPLDR requests popping up requesting changes to this computer. Cancel these as before.
Now it gets silly - with the 7510 plugged in (KIES hasn't fired itself up) go into Tab Settings, Wireless and connect via Wi-fi - confirm permission on the PC and KIES will start up - and amazingly - connects via USB! From now on you should be able to disconnect and reconnect the 7510 and get a more or less immediate USB connection.
I apologise for the sheer length of this post, but it's a consequence of SAMSUNG's total ineptitude at writing driver installation scripts - who knows what works, or where or why? Any chance of some decent logging/diagnostics options for your cr*ppy KIES connection process Mr Samsung??
Rant over.
And out.
Good luck!

Seems not using KEIS at all, the answer most give, is a lot easier. Feel free to explain why using it and going through ask this hassle is better though.

Is it worth it? ...hell maybe!
You're right Benzoman - apart from firmware check & update, you don't need KIES at all for straight sync'ing/backup etc, Windows MTP does that just as well directly.
Still, Samsung will be pushing out a lot of firmware/OS updates over the next year. Who knows they might even get KIES and drivers into shape, so I'm sticking with it just now even if it is a b*lls-ache. Anything's better than fruityTunes!
Alas, no

I never had any problems with the installation of the drivers, but followed your (slightly convoluted) method to the letter. In the final part, where USB connection is combined with Wifi-Kies it still takes the Wifi as basis [not USB even both are connected], i.e. no firmware update possible, which was the (only) reason for using Kies. I do not use the SGT for contacts and the such, I have other devices for that... So sadly, this did not work for me.
I will try and try again. And if I ever find a working solution, I will put it here for all to see.
Factory reset of Tablet fixes this

I tried many things suggested here and on other forums on my GT-P7510 (Wi-Fi only). One suggestion made that was claimed to work was a factory reset of the Tablet itself. I connected via USB to my Windows 7 laptop and copied all folders from the Tablet to an external USB hard disk as a backup, then did the factory reset on the Tablet (under Settings - Privacy). After that Samsung Kies could connect via USB.
This means that something on the Tablet itself needs to change to re-enable USB connectivity to the latest version of Kies. (I had been able to connect in the past using the same hardware but on Android 3.1 on the Tablet and on an earlier version of Kies).
The only real benefit I could see from using Kies is if Samsung releases Android 4.0 ICS via Kies before or instead of sending it via Wi-Fi. I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2 via Wi-Fi.
Latest 10.1 ICS Upgrade fixes KIES USB connect - at last!
Just received 276MB ICS upgrade via wi-fi connection (no Kies involved).
Seems the connection problem via USB is now fixed.
Plug in the upgraded 10.1 via USB to PC - will install new device drivers
then it connects via USB with no problems whatsoever.
Hope it fixes yours too.
Good luck.

I agree with you. For the last 2 days I have tried everything. But the thing that worked the first time was factory reset. worked on the very first try.
as of today, jan 6, 2014, nothing works to update my tab through kies or ota.
i followed your instructions to a "t" and there were some differences, which may be why it did not work. the kies version is now different, upon a restart of my windows pc, a program called mecleanup.exe wanted to execute (forget if this is the exact name, but i looked it up, it is a samsung install cleanup program). none of this worked. i tried disabling my antivirus.
i have spent days searching and trying everything i could find, but my p7510 will not connect to my win 7 64 bit pc through kies (but it will connect with kies air wirelessly - no good for updates) and my tab will not update over ota either. i want to update it, root it and maybe flash a good rom asap, i have waited to long!
does anyone have any info, suggestions, solutions? any help will be greatly appreciated.
the tab was purchased about 18 months ago at bestbuy, and i have never rooted it or updated it, i was waiting for a big update -ics. it has android 3.1 now. i also noticed that there is no imei number on it or in it (software) - is this normal? i have not had these problems with my captivate, or rooted galaxy note. (cappy just updated ota to gingerbread 2.3.5) i have not yet tried anythig with my 7 inch tab yet (it's sprint, but i use it wireless only, with flight mode on).
i tried different usb ports, taking everything out of all my usb ports and only connect the tab, reinstall, everything i can think of. my only recourse is a master reset, and i don't know if that is going to work, there seems to be something missing from my tab. ota does nothing, i am signed into my samsung account and my google account. it was having trouble updating apps from the market--or rather with the list of apps that needed updating, it was saying some apps were not installed when they were. the samsung support site is just usless.
thanks for your help...

What do you really need Kies for @OP??? Why dont you just plug it in and allow the PC to see it as a USB device.
Nothing works at all, even when I “just plug it in"! Driveres fail to load or load and do not work. I tried loading older drivers with internet turned off. That was a no go. It lets me see there is a drive on my pc, but will not allow me to see what is on the drive.
Kies air works but does not allow me to move or copy most files to my pc (photos copy but no music and no documents and certainly no apks or any kind of executable)! ). I was thinking of emailing stuff to myself but the main problem is updating my tablet.
I spent one whole useless hour on chat with samsung tech who told me everything I knew and tried already. I explained to him from the start about everything I tried so far, but he still went on to direct me to the samsung support pages with the stuffthat did not work. I should post the transcript of the conversation for sh★ts and giggles.
I just want to be able to update it and root it. Nothing has worked. Why does it not have a removable sd card? Also, now nothing works for my gnote and 7 inch tab. My captivate is just fine with kies mini, so far (knock knock knock on wood).. I remember my p7510 (i think it was that one and not my smaller tab) doing an ota update without my knowledge, and I was mad because everything got changed in some way.
I don't want to master reset till I back it all up. I really wanted to avoid the reset, this should not be happenning, a point in apple's favor here (and I am not an apple fan, i go with android all the way). Samsung needs to take there devs and let them meet to real tab owners/users.
Here is a question − can I email myself an executable/zip file (I know there are size limits) and run it right from gmail on my tab?
sent from my rooted i717 w/stock ics....and i love it!
Here's what I did that works (tablet was running 3.2) stock, PC is win7x64:
1. Disconnect tablet.
2. On PC, uninstall Kies & Samsung USB driver from Programs & Features.
3. On tablet, disable USB Debugging.
4. Download and install latest Kies (was 2.5.2.13021_10 for me).
5. Launch kies, it will not detect anything.
6. Plug in tablet and let drivers etc. install, wait for a prompt from kies saying 'this device is not supported by this version of kies (or similar)'.
7. Press OK.
8. Quit kies and restart it, now it works.
Do the firmware upgrade, and get outta there, that software is some of the worst there is... good luck.
Hey Guys!
I recently tried to connect my Galaxy s2 to Kies over WiFi instead of USB-Cable. It accepts the device and tells on the mobile screen the device has been connected and can be synchronized. But on Kies the connect-button doesnt go away...I know its a very common problem, but i havent found a solution anywhere ;__;
Is help possible? All drivers/firmwares are up to date and i already tried to reinstall Kies.
Its no firewall related problem and ive already checked the ports and shut and firewall down. Kies Air works flawlessly...but i need the outlook sync options >.<
