Has it ever connected before or is this the first time you're trying? If it has, what was the status of the phone at that time? Rooted, rom, etc...

It has connected before.
At that time, see signature.

delete the usb driver that pops up in your computer's "device manager" and reinstall it.
Or try a different usb port.

none of that worked, thx though

You can always use Dropbox as a way to drop files in your Dropbox on your computer and then load them from the Dropbox all on your phone.

Did you try Settings/wireless and networks/USB utilities/hit button and follow prompts.

Well if push comes to shove, I'd recommend grabbing Wifi File Transfer Pro from the market. I'll link it below. I never connect my phone anymore via cable to do any type of data transfer. The paid version allows multiple file transfers at once, the free version is one file at a time.
You simply need to be able to pull up a webpage and type in the IP address it generates for ya - easy peasy.

If my phone is plugged in, it tell me to unplug it. If its unplugged, it tells me to plug it in. I keep getting this cycle.
Maybe thats exactly what supposed to happen, but I dont know lol.

Yes sounds correct.
Go to USB utilities. Hit button. Wait for prompt to plug phone in. (Have the other end of the USB cable plugged in to the computer already) once prompted, plug in phone. Wait a few seconds(sometimes longer). Another prompt should come up asking if you want to connect USB storage.
Sometimes it takes a few tries. And take your time cause it doesn't respond as quick as it should for the final prompt.
Good luck

I would download and install KIES then download drivers for the SGS2 from there. I was having ADB issues this morning and installing KIES alleviated that, so it would most likely fix your USB issues.

Just turn on USB Debugging in settings -> application -> development to use your phone in mass storage mode. Why MTP does not work for you I have no idea, but try to install Kies.
EDIT: Do you have Siyah kernel installed by any chance? Old versions had this problem.

Ok I just tried this. I get the prompt to plug my phone in, do that. I get no prompt after this. I have a button that says Connect storage to PC, when I press it it says USB is Connected, remove the cable. This cycle repeats over and over. Im still getting the unrecognized device on my PC.
Thanks
