Does your phone connect normally via USB to the computer ? completely uninstall and re-install via a fresh download of KIES. Clear your Temp, %Temp% and prefetch folders. Check if the cable is faulty or not. One of these is bound to help you.
I have tried reinstalling keis and done everything i can think of but nothing seems to help. Before the update of kies my phone used to be able to connect via usb like normal ever since the update its all gone to pot

First of all, I must say that KIES is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever seen. It is buggy and you must hope it will work eventually.
I got one successful with my old phone (galaxy 551) after updating via ODIN first to the correct firmware for my country.
But with my current Galaxy S2 I had to go to the repair center who used ODIN to get the right version on my phone.
I now have made KIES work on my windows 7 machine. I had to install the UK version (not the country version) and used the connection problem wizard to reinstall the drivers. Now it says I have the current version of my firmware.
To go back to your problem. It would help if you post which OS you are on and which version of the firmware you have currently installed ?
Also have you USB error detection off in the settings of your Galaxy S2 ?

I have tried all 4 ports on my laptop and the SAMSUNG MTP DRIVER for Kies still fails to install, I have deleted it and reinstalled, manually pointed it to the USB Driver directory and yet it still fails, anyone any ideas?
Did you try rebooting the phone? Kies also didn't recognized mine and a reboot fixed this.
Tried a reboot still no good DRIVER NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED
Millions of posts on this subject a read of them may find a solution .
Laptops do seem more of a problem in this regard .

Kies has an option to install the correct drivers for it on the computer, have you tried that option? I believe its under tools.

Yes, same problem
Right well problem half solved, had to phone Samsung, I had to tick USB Debugging, so ticked that all drivers installed correctly with no errors, I then had to untick and reconnect, so did that, it goes through installing drivers again and once again fails and phone still not detected. Samsung might copy a few things from apple, but the slogan "It just works" doesn't appear to be one of them.
Wasted 3 hours on this, time to admit defeat, is Kies really needed anyway? I can get music etc on the phone fine without it.
You only need Kies for official updates as opposed to stock Samsung updates via XDA .Well before Kies updates also .

Can I not do that on the phone anyway by going to About phone software update?

I would just like to say I got this going, I updated from Vista to Windows 7, plugged in the phone and instantly detected. Don't know what the issue was.

It's obvious isn't it? The issue was Vista.
I had the same problem with Kies under Win7 x64.
Latest Kies, latest USB drives.
What got it to work, was switching back to TwLauncher instead of MXHome I was using at the time.
No idea why the laucher affected the USB interface.

I might give this a shot. I somehow managed to miracle a connection to Kies today, just don't ask me to do it again. Typically it's a no go. Also on Win7 64 bit, laptop.
This was an issue pre and post root. I may just back up my phone the old fashioned way if it continues to be a PITA.
I had this and noticed when i plugged it in, the windows connection sound would play but would play the disconnected sound immediatley when the mtp mode was launched in the phone. A second later the connected sound would play again but kies didn't find the phone.
I got round this by getting kies to start when phone is connected. This remains the only way it will recognise my phone

Hi,
I am trying to update my Galaxy S II to the latest firmware but whenever I try to connect it to Kies the PC does not recognise it.
I have downloaded fresh copy of kies from the Samsung site and also got my phone back to factory settings.
The phones shows MTP Application connected and the bar keeps moving but nothing happens on my PC.
Any advise would be helpful.
Thanks
try manual way with odin ? also, it is more safe with odin.
download the latest official firmware, you can look from sammobile website and flash it with odin.
i dont like to upgrade via kies. its downloading also upgrading at the same time. its too risk. let say, in the middle of process suddenly the electricity is down. there is a chance that the broken process can brick your phone.
Had the same problem and the way round which i found was to open kies first and then connect your device and it works.

Are you running a stock or a custom rom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
and you made a new thread? Because there has never been one about this subject before has there? lol
for some reason when i used kies, it suggested to upgrade to the newest version, so i figured since my phone connected why not.
Now after upgrading my sgs2 will NOT connect to kies....
been reading around for about 45 min, and cant seem to find a fix that works.
Anyone on xda here have the same problems? and anyone find a walk around? or solution
Thanks all, looking to try ics!
reinstall kies and dont forget to disable usb debugging in developer options in settings
tried both, still just sits there trying to connect...
Choice take phone to Samsung service centre .
Or from XDA developers forum flash stock rom via Odin .

Uninstallig kies does not uninstall you samsung drivers. On the PC uninstall kies go into device manager, connect you phone to the PC and uninstall all the samsung drivers. Disconnect the USB cable. Reinstall kies then plug your USB cable back in to the phone and PC. Also try using another USB port, cable or both.

So wait, you don't know what root is?
(⊙＿⊙)
Apparently this phone is the SGH-1777... We've had it wrong this whole time!
Have you tried searching these forums and the official AT&T forums? They might have more info you can use since your phone is stock. That or call their Tech Support.
Good luck!

Like Phalanx7621 suggested, install/re-install drivers and Kies. If you do have Kies installed on your system, remove it. Then go to Samsung's website, download the latest version, and install into your system. That should take care of your computer not recognized your phone problem. For the random restart problem, it may be a defective battery.
HTH.

Make sure you start Kies before you plug the USB to the phone
Call your carrier because if you haven't made any modifications like most of us do then maybe its a problem for them and they might be able to fix it for cheap or get you a new phone since this doesn't sound like its your fault.

Personally I wouldn't be concerned kies isn't really useful, plenty of threads on here about kies messing phones up. There's nothing you can't do yourself without the need of kies. You've already tried everything I can think of. Does kies itself require updating?

nope it does not need an update and i really would like to stay away from odin
Bro don't fear Odin, embrace it. Latest updates sooner, avoid bloatware and no root needed. Never had a problem with it, in fact it saved my phone several times as I'm a flash-a-holic
