Hello,
Im trying to flash my phone but having a issue
So i have added the insecure kernel but when i try and do the next part (Run S2 Root) i get the following error
Device is not connected! Please connect the USB cables and try again
Im running the following
S2 Root 1.5.1
Android Version 2.3.6
Kernel Version I9100XWKJ2
Anyone able to help its annoying the hell out of me have tried different USB ports get the same issue
Make sure samsung drivers are installed, try different USB ports, check USB debugging in settings.
If it doesnt work again, try it with a different computer if possible.
Ok when i turn off USB debugging on the phone the PC will connect to it. When it is on it wont?

If its on, then leave it. I meant check that the USB debugging is on.
Where about do i check that?

Phone menu / settings / applications / development
And also make sure kies is not running on PC same time a Odin. Also ensure PC task manager has no kies processes

That needs to be on, so the problem is elsewhere. Did you install samsung drivers, if you did, have you tried different USB ports?
I have downloaded the drivers and still not working
Still cant get it to work

Morning all.
As of yesterday, my S2 won't connect to any pc in mass storage mode.
At first it connected as it should, but after about 5 minutes - before I'd transferred anything - I got a message that windows couldn't recognise the device/driver installation unsuccessful.
Since then I get this message immediately, have tried 4 different pcs.
Would seem the USB drivers are FUBAR somehow, but MTP via Kies works, as does Odin.
I've tried a full factory reset/reinstall, previous backups - stock and custom - removed, reinstalled and updated Kies, cleaned the USB port on the phone - nothing doing. Have tried stock kernels, Siyah, Nimphetamine - nothing. Currently on XWKL1, custom ROM (krinyo's SlimROM) with Siyah 2.6.3+
Also tried uninstalling various USB ports on my home pc, but stopped when I discovered it was the same on all pcs.
It's not the end of the world - I have bluetooth and my microSD - but it's a PITA and I'm out of ideas.
Many thanks for any help/suggestions.
Have you cheched if USB Debugging is enabled or not?

Tried changing the usb cable?
From another post
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

Getting a Service Mode FC when I enter that code in the keypad.
Will try it with an older backup.
Edit - tried it with a backup of CheckROM , 2.3.6. No FC, PDA already selected. Tried 5c above, still no good - unknown device on pc..

No. Can't see that there's a problem there if Kies and Odin connect OK.

Bugger me, it was the cable....
Bought a new S2 yesterday - nice to have a backup, and the Nexus is meh - and tried the new cable on old S2, everything fine. Old cable on new S2, no good for USB but fine for Kies and Odin as mentioned before.
No idea why it should be like this, but sh*t happens. Easiest solution is often the best!
same problem happened to me too
I have the exact same problem, tried everything like OP, even new cable still same issue...any ideas?

Thanks buddy, that was very helpful
Ever since Kies got updated (a week ago), i cannot connect my Galaxy S2, and therefore cannot update my firmware through it. Every time i connect my S2 it just says Connecting... and stays like that. The funny thing though is, if i have a lock on my phone, it will detect the phone and tell me to unlock it. After I unlock it, it does the same thing again.. Connecting...
Any help?
No personal experience but try to reinstall Kies
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Tried, but it didnt work. Tried installing it on other PC, also doesn't work. Kies detects Galaxy S and S Plus, but cannot detect S2. Before the update though, it didnt have any trouble. I even tried with the older version, but that wont work too...

Do a factory reset, restart your Pc and launch Kies first then connect your mobile to ur pc .
This doesn't work either... Any other suggestions?
And yes USB debugging is turned off. I tried turning it on and off but it DOESNT make the phone connect to Kies.

Hmm. Ok, try entering *#7284# into the dialer. This will bring up a service menu. USB should have PDA selected. If it doesn't, select PDA. If it does, change it to Modem, then back to PDA. After that, try your USB connection again.

Does the port work at all? Will the phone charge?
If so, can you plug the phone into your computer via USB and start an ADB shell?
Yes yes the port is fully operational and i managed to connect the phone to Kies finally with just removing the SD card. Still not sure why it wouldnt connect with it...
Common Kies problem answers .
One use the SGS2 USB cable
Two connect only to a mainboard USB port .

yes it is installed. the thing is that I would expect the PC to at least recognize the device and ask for drivers even if the drivers wasn't installed
Try another USB cable(If you can) try another USB port(Just for test)

did that already and even tested the original cable with the Wife's HTC. The cable is fine.
Maybe tried to switch on Another mod not MTP.
Or try to enable USB debugging in Developer options

Hi,
It happened with me too, and there is nothing wrong with the device, its fine.
My friend told me this,
update your Kies software to the latest version, then close the Kies. i mean the kies application should not be running.
Then connect the device and wait for sometime, till the message appears -- MTP connected.
Then open the Kies application, and let the Kies to identify the device.
If it says some error, like device not recognized, then there is an option to debug the connectivity.
Try that option too.
It'll connect surely, but you should be patient.
I think, its the problem with Kies software. I use it only to update the Android firmware. But now, I'm on Custom ROM, so this Kies is no more required for me.
Regards,
Hereticnine.

Lets assume I wanna simply connect it as mass storage. shouldn't the device be idetified ? I mean it's as if the PC OS doesn't recognize it at all
As if it wasn't even attached to the PC.
EDIT: It doesn't recognize the device on debugging mod either

Correct. Even without Samsung USB drivers installed your PC (I guess running Windows) should show a reaction. At least the PC should report an unknown device.
Maybe you should try installing the drivers manually? Not sure if it's gonna help but might as well try, right?
If that doesn't work either maybe you should try contacting the one you got the phone from. Maybe there's something wrong with the particular device.

OK, one last option. Can a Faulty ROM instillation cause the device not to connect to my PC?
Other than that I guess I should get a replacement for my device.
Thanks for your assistance guys

Even if you have the correct drivers installed, some bad drivers might be picking the device up, overriding the good drivers. If you open up device manager, what shows up when you plug in the phone?

Nothing shows up!, that's the thing, the device seems to be recognizing the PC. it makes a sound when i connect it to the pc and the icon of usb connection shows up right on the notificacion bar, but on the pc doesn't make anything.
I installed the official drivers from samsung and Kies Too.

Snappea is an app for both windows and your android via which you can connect to your pc
1. First download and install Snappea (Google it "SnapPea" since i cannot post outside links)
2. When installed, it will ask some basic info and after connecting your phone, it will automatically download its android version
3. I guess thats all.... Youll understand its use via the tutorial (pretty much easy)
4. ENJOY!....enjoy transferring your files via pc and android........

What makes a sound when you connect it to the PC? Does the PC itself make a sound? And you did as I suggested and had Device Manager open when you plugged it in - did it refresh at all?

the device makes a sound means it connected to USB only. it can be computer or charger.
did you try uninstalling usb drivers in device manager.
right click and update driver
then select have a disk..

i can't remember the rest of the part.
then it will recognize

Oh then Idk i've never looked into it.
I'm having the same problem with my i777 model.
I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers, I updated the drivers, I tried debugging mode and I've tried "Mass Storage" mode.
Mass Storage mode was the only one that seemed to work for me, when I tried debug mode it would constantly connect and disconnect.
When I try without being in any of those modes, my phone will connect. My computer will recognize and then randomly my phone or computer wont be able to see each other anymore. Like my phone will disconnect from MTP-initialization (but still charge like it's plugged in)...I'm really interested in rooting my phone, but I don't want to since I can't connect my phone correctly. I don't want a $200+ phone becoming a brick and I can't replace it very cheap (anytime soon at least).
Here's phone info if it helps any..?
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-i777
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

Hmmm...I just tried something. My phone says it's not in MTP, but my PC can read it and open it up.
All I did was turn off my phone, then I plugged it in, then turned it back on and it's doing good so far...might give it a shot, I dunno how well it's really working or nothing though.
|-----EDIT------|
Now it's in MTP Application and synchronizing, I'm just trying to back up my phone with Keis so if I do decide to Root, I can back everything back up.

Does your phone used to connect properly beforethe problem, if the answer is yes,
Then you should reinstall ROM as it may be corrupted, i also had same problem but after re flashing ROM through Odin it was fine.
