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)
Hey so I've been using Villainrom happily for a while now but recently tried out cyanogenmod which worked fine except for no USB mount. I figured it was just the rom and went back to Villainrom, USB working fine again.
With ICS themes being available to checkrom and batista roms, I gave them a go and found that USB Mount doesn't work on these either
I'm back on Villainrom 3.0 now after downloading PC drivers from google, samsung, and just about every source mentioned on XDA + search engines plus installing Kies and (almost considered going back to stock everything with Odin) no luck. The error message is USB Device malfunctioned in a big balloon message on the trey.
The phone will charge but not recognize a USB device being attached for mounting, tried turning debugging on and off, and starting USB from wifi.
Not a big deal as I can mount USB Now on VillainRom. But I'm super curious as to why none of the other roms are working for me
I have the original USB cable as well as another third party one. For some reason my laptop responds better to the third party one so I've always used that, tried both but no results.
Specs:
Windows 7 64 samsung laptop
Samsung Galaxy S2
Baseband: 19100XXKI1
Kernel: [email protected] #20
Build: VillainRom 3.0
Phone made in Korea, imported to New Zealand, currently operating in Korea
Any suggestions appreciated
XXKI1 is my baseband... could that be the problem?
Cool, if anyone comes here looking for help with Samsung MTP Device not working, uninstall ALL of your USB drivers and reboot. solved
i have been having this problem ever since i updated my kies to the latest version 2.3.0.12035_16_4. Now the MTP driver just does not install even after following the following instructions from the link [Solution / Tutorial for Galaxy S i9000] MTP Application crashing
and also other instructions from around the net!
1) tried deleting samsung entirely from my drive including drivers and rebooted and then reinstalled. no hope!
2) tried deleting all files with 16 characters from phone memory and sd card. still no hope!
3) installed all drivers successfully via usb debugging mode and then after that i disabled usb debugging and connected it says MTP driver successfully installed but i have to restart my pc. when i restart it says MTP drivers installing and then it fails!!!!!! kies keeps saying connecting..........
4)also now the autorun does not work when trying to connect to kies. it doesn't show up in the windows explorer. however i can access via usb mode
Same results at home (vista) and work (win 7 pro)!!!
whats happening?????
I'm in Qatar my phone details are as follows
Model: GT-I9100
PDA: I9100JPKJ2
Phone: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100OJPKJ1
Android Version: 2.3.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2-CL655700 [email protected] #2
just yesterday i just tried another solution: i removed my sd card and reconnected and lo & behold kies detected it...mtp drivers were installed and i could backup.
now today morning to check for updates i reconnected it the same way and i get the message"MTP driver failed".
In the device manager it says device failed to start (code 10) for MTP driver.
i have looked around and most of the threads are for galaxy s and this is a last resort. when i wrote the title the suggestions xda gave me are 1st one is for galaxy note, 2nd - 4th suggestions last post was in 2011 and the 5th one is from 2010. i have gone thru all of these.
Any ideas if i have ICS update? This is my first android phone bought it last july. I'm a bit nervous about updating via odin!
any help anyone???
1) Sorry mate, ICS KIES update for your version has not been released yet.
2) you have to try on another PC to check MTP working, most probebly your PC issue not the phone.
3) uninstall Kies, doenload a fresh one from Samsung and install after reboot and try..
thanx for the quick reply mate
2) same situation in all pcs
3) already done that plenty of times...removed drivers etc etc still no hope
July to April - one year not finished go back to the dealer...
Should be some problem with your usb port of the Phone....
I bought the phone with the same version, with both software and hardware waranty,
When will the ICS KIES update for his version be released?
Cable??

So the problems I have.
It all started when i decided that I want to return the phone to a full stock condition, as I have just bought it (not rooted, hacked etc.)
Checking a few videos on youtube I got the Idea and recommended files youtube(dot)com / watch?v=bz9gw-ZRbY4
When I entered the download mode I have encountered a problem, the PC doesn't recognize the phone when it is in Download mode. I have tried downloading drivers and changing USB ports + the cable is brand new. When ever the mobile device isn't in download mode it is recognized and I am able to transfer and review files that are on my phone.
So here I'm looking for help at you guys. How do I fix this issue and do I have the right video to follow?
Please, keep in mind I'm a Novice (I don't understand many terms and abbreviations).
If any of you would like to look in to my problem I'd be grateful.

So as you said I checked the thread it was not new to me. I have the drivers already, but I just installed them again and still there is no connection in download mode. As I said, if the device is not in download mode I can do what ever I want, but once it enters the download mode ... poof (like there is nothing connected to the PC). I had all the others steps completed too, but yet it doesn't work. When I change the USB port windows says "Failed to install" - Gadget Serial.
I had Kies air connected once and in my PC processes there is no Kies of any kind. Even before I enter the download mode I used App Killer to shut down all apps at least for a moment.
Right now My phone is in download mode and this is the status:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-i9100
Custom binary download: YES (1 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
And this is its state every time when it's in download mode.
I had a similar problem but when i wanted to flash it said failed to install or something like that in odin, but then i just changed my USB port to other one and it worked, so i think that the USB i was using was getting impulses of electrisity and turned of at a time so the odin couldn't connect to a phone so he just gave an error (correct me if im wrong).
So for your problem i think you should delete the previous drivers you installed and every driver you installed for your phone and don't delete anything else just your phone drivers. Here: Uninstall Guide
or Here:Uninstall Guide
After the uninstall reboot your PC and install drivers from here, and look for your bit version of your windows (32bit, 64bit) Drivers For windows
And the reboot again, then try and report back here.
Hope it helps!
Cheers

Thank you for your help, but I just realised that I am not running Kies on my PC. I installed Kies and here we go! The phone was recognized in download mode
Hello all, I am currently having a issue with my GS3 after accidentally installing the 4.3 update to my phone last night. I have been telling it no for the past 5 months, and last night I just hit the wrong thing. So this morning I came onto the forums to see about rooting the phone finally only to see that it can no longer connect to my PC. I also tried it on my laptop, only to find the same thing. The phone no longer even shows up in the device manger. However it is still accepting a charge from the USB port.
Phone Specs:
Model Number: SCH-I535
Andorid Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: I535VRUCML1
Kernel Version: 3.0.31
[email protected] #1
Wed Dec 11 01:109:13 KST 2013
Build Number: JSS15J.535VRUCML1
Hardware Version I535.10
I have tried searching around on google, and have done the following things, uninstalled the Samsung Drivers, and then ran drivercleanup and re-installed the drivers. Tried various USB ports/other known working USB cables. Reset the phone back to factory defaults, and cleared the cache. I also tried turning DM Mode on via the ##366633# menu. I uninstalled my USB controller just for giggles, but have gotten no where. Both computers are running Windows 7 X64, and neither of them see the phone in the device manager. I also booted the phone up and tried using the download mode to see if Windows would detect it, however it did not. If anyone has any thoughts that would be truly fantastic. I don't care to copy data to and from my computer via airdroid or any of the other file sharing apps, I just would have liked to have rooted the phone ect .
-Thanks
Matt.
