Moved to Q&A
As maxx247 says it's a driver problem. Give us some more info. When you connect your phone to your computer, can you access the SD card?
If it just says "USB device not recognized" and gives you some Windows error code, try a different USB port. If it's still the same, Google "USB drivers for Samsung" and go to the "developers.samsung" website. That should help.
Most importantly, don't panic.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped.

Please help- I soft bricked, and have read up on the process to fix, that I need to fix via ODIN. I installed ODIN, Kies, Samsung USB drivers (from an XDA thread link that says they are 'KNOWN' to work), have uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. and the problem I'm having is that my computer will not recognize the phone when it's in download mode no matter what I do.
SO frustrating- any advice?? Much appreciated
While device is in download mode unplug USB from computer and plug back in. Also wrong section.

I had the same problem and it was just a matter of doing things in the right order for my computer to recognize my phone in download mode. The rest was easy.
Hi all! The rooting guide of Intratech given here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 DOES NOT WORK! I have an SGS II Kernel version of KE8 (India) and I tried to follow the steps given in the guide, but when I open ODIN and connect my phone in Download mode with my laptop via USB Cable, ODIN is not connecting to the phone. The box meant to turn yellow does NOT change color. Nothing happens at all. Why is this so? I cannot post in the relevant thread because I am a newbie in the forun
Have you installed kies first to get the drivers?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yes, of course, I have the latest version of Kies installed on my laptop and I use it regularly to connect with my SGS II. I kept Kies closed when trying the rooting procedure as mentioned in Intratech's guide. Started phone in download mode. Opened Odin on laptop, then connected phone via USB........the box which is supposed to turn yellow on connection, doesn't light up. Nothing happens at all.

I suggest to you that the overwhelming majority of the people who use the guide will disagree with you and provide evidence to the fact that it does, indeed, work. The fact that it does not work for you suggest that you are doing something wrong or have a problem with your computer.
I would suggest that you ensure that KIES is also closed in the system tray of your computer before opening Odin and connecting the phone. Also ensure that your computer has an internet connection and is able to connect to windows update to download and install drivers. If that doesn't work then change USB port or computer.
By all means, if you find a way that works then feel free to write your own guide. More information is good and maybe others might find your method, if you discover one, easier to follow.
@Intratech: Hi. Thanks for your reply. Ok, so it is not working for me. Can you help?
My laptop is working on Windows 7 Home Premium which is upto date in all respects. My USB port is working fine as I am able to connect my SGS II to Kies through that. Kies was closed when I tried to connect to Odin. Odin version is 1.85. While the phone (in download mode) is connected to the laptop, and Odin is Open, nothing happens. Nothing.

Is kies closed in the system tray as well?
Yes, Kies is closed in system tray also. Fully closed. Odin opens, and I see the Odin screen as per your screen shots, but the box which is supposed to light up yellow, does not.
Are you using the Samsung USB cable or a HTC one?
Samsung USB cable which came with the phone box pack. I can see the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes checked. Nothing else is checked, not even the PDA button. The box saying ID:COM (which is supposed to light up) is blank.
u need to check pda and load the file u want to flash it
then click on start
Look in your program and features list, found in control panel, and see if you have a listing for Samsung USB driver for mobile phones there. If you do then uninstall it and uninstall KIES. Download a new copy of KIES from Samsung and install it. After installing it, make sure you don't have USB debug ticked, connect the phone and leave it until all the drivers install. After that remove the device and lose KIES. Put the tick in USB debugging and connect the phone and leave it so that any needed drivers install. After this put the phone in download mode and connect it, without opening KIES or ODIN, and leave it to download any drivers needed. If it downloads and install any drivers wait for it to finish, once it does then you can go ahead and use Odin normally.
If this doesn't work your PC is at fault, fix it.

How you going to flash without connecting to the device?
Turn USB debugging off on phone .USB connection should be to a motherboard port .
Reboot phone set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode .
Connect cable wait for Windows to load drivers . You should be able to browse phone via Windows explorer if USB drivers are correct .If so remove cable and reboot phone to download mode . Open Odin select files to load connect cable .
That fails then
Rooting guide of intratech does not work! for you your PC or your phone but for everyone else so give up .
jje
@cyberwarfare: Yes, I tried that. The file loaded, I pressed start. Yet nothing happened. I just saw one line notification in the left hand side column of Odin, which read something like "successes: 0/failures: 0". I am speaking from memory here. Nothing really happened even after loading PDA and pressing the Start button.
@Intratech: Yes, both Kies and Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones are there in my program list. I downloaded Kies from their India support site : http://www.samsung.com/in/support/d...1&prd_mdl_cd=GT-I9100LKAINU&srchword=GT-I9100
Worth mentioning here that the USB debug check box was ticked when I tried to Root with Odin.
So basically, you're asking me to uninstall & reinstall Kies and its drivers. Ok, will do. It will take time so will do it when I have a little more time on my hands. Thanks for your help & your time. I appreciate. If you have time, then look at my other post here which says, "7 major issues with SGS II" ...... and help with solving my other issues like that of bluetooth not connecting and phone ringer's erratic behaviour. Thanks a ton.
Mate I haven't used the Indian firmware so I'm not too sure about troubleshooting it. There is an Indian thread in the general forum where you may be able to get more help with the issues you have.
@JJEgan: Thanks for replying. All my USB Ports are on the motherboard itself, worth mentioning that the same USB port works fine when I connect the phone to the laptop. Am able to transfer files to and fro via the same USB port.
"set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode".....how do I do that? Where to find that in phone settings?
I am able to browse the contents/files on the phone very well...so this proves my drivers are fine. So which basically means, that Intratech's rooting guide does not work FOR ME! Happy? This may be a problem specific to the India specific phones....Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE8-CL214845

@Intratech: Thanks mate. I've posted my problem in the India specific thread also.....lets see if someone replies. But the problem is not with the rooting procedure, the problem is that I can't even seem to get started with the procedure as there is no connection between Odin and the phone.
Nah, it's not with the firmware. The other Indians who use it have no issue following the guide.
Please try and reinstall everything as I've stated and see if that work. Also, when you go into download mode what do you see on the screen?
In download mode I see a static warning on the screen which tells me of the risk and tells me I have to press the VOL down button to cancel this, and there is a yellow triangle at the bottom. The screen stays there as I connect the USB cable to the laptop.

You need to read the instructions start off by reading what it says on that screen .Do not read half of the instructions like you are its very dangerous flashing if you cannot read and follow the instructions and i advice you dont flash .
The screen message you are not reading is the sentence above the one you posted .
To install custom rom press Vol Up key .

Right this is your problem, you have not put the phone in download mode as yet. Press volume up at this screen to enter download mode and now you will connect.
Hi, I have a problem connecting to Kies. I have been searching for hours over the internet for a solution but nothing worked.
Until yesterday I was connecting normally to Kies, syncing my mobile and checking for updates. Yesterday Kies gave me a message that there is a new update (for kies software), so I accepted the update and got the latest version (2.0.3.11082_152). Since I did that i couldnt connect my SGS2 to Kies again. It keeps on saying "connecting" on the screen but never ends and never show my SGS2 under "connected devices" .
I already have "debugging mode" unchecked. I used the option to update drivers several times. I tried to download Kies again at least 8 times (both the latest version as well as the original version I previously had), I tried unmounting my SD card, I tried several USB cables, but still getting "connecting" that stays forever.
BTW, I can connect to my PC in USB storage mode.
I have stock Android 2.3.3 with Kernel version JPKH1 (Arabic enabled).
I really appreciate any help from anyone.
I have read in many forums that I need to pick "Kies mode" by going to Settings>Wireless and network> USB settings. Well, on my phone when I go to Settings>Wireless and netwrok I dont have "USB settings" in the list but have "USB utilities" instead. Under "USB utilities" the only option I have is USB mass storage. IS THIS WHAT OTHERS HAVE ON THEIR SGS2s ???
same prob
Anyone, PLEASE....

Off course thats what we all have your other forums are talking nonsense .
Suggestion turn phone OFF turn PC off reboot PC Reboot phone .
Start Kies connect Samsung USB cable .
Wait for Kies to connect .

And make sure you run Kies as Administrator if you are running Win7
I used to have the same issue.
If you are using a 3rd party launcher, try turning that off and returning to touch wiz, as that caused issues for me, also make sure the phone is unlocked.
Failing that, turn the computer off, and plug the phone in, and then boot the computer back up, that might force it to install the drivers.
Same problem with me.i have win xp.but newer kies verson does not support sgs2.one another problem is i accidently uninstalled samsung usb driver for mobile phone.now i connect phone with pc via usb cable,the pc every time says fond new hardware and try to install it but could not sucseed.when i manually install driver,pc every time says "mobile phone has being used,eject the phone and reboot pc then install usb driver".where no phone is conected.why pc says eject phone where no phone is conected? Please help me please.

Saolved: Kies not connecting
Hi. To any who is faing this problem, here is the soultion that worked with me.
After trying everything, from rebooting PC and phone several times, using Kies "Resoultion Connection Eror" to download drivers many times, making sure the USB debugging is turned off from setting, etc,,,,, NOTHING WORKED
So:
1- I disconnected my phone from PC
2- I went to PC Control Panel>System and Maintenance>System>Device Manager
Under "USB Controllers" I didnt find anything with Samsung name. Instead, I found 2 entries under the name "USB Composite Device". Using right click I uninstalled them.
3- I reconnected my phone with Kies closed. As soon as I reconnected my phone, I had a message saying that Samsung Drivers are being added
4- I opened KIES, and Voila... my phone connected and I could see its name under Kies connected devices.
5- Now under Device Manager I can see "Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device"
My interpretation is that although I tried to update the Samsung drivers thru Kies many times, the drivers that already existed for the "USB Composite Device" (which I uninstalled in step 2) were forbidding Samsung drivers to take their place. So when I unistalled the USB Composite Devices everything worked the way ot should.
Hope this could help anyone who faces this problem.
Solved!!
Just go through the trouble shooting procedure which shows up on the screen when Kies is running and your device is not able to connect. It'll download some driver and automatically fix the issue.
Hello everyone
well... first of all i am not new to android , i have tried all the tricks in the book to get my galaxy s 3 connected to my pc , in mass storage mode.. but all my efforts have resulted in failures . i can use the usb teetering but surprisingly i can not get it to mass storage mode..
1)i have installed the required drivers
2)i have also installed kies ( it keeps saying connecting forever)
3) i wipe the cache in recovery and tried but still no luck
4) rebooted the pc many times but no use
5)the usb debugging is unticked
next i m going to root my device and then use a 3rd party sd mount app, but is there any other option you people could suggest me to try ???
Turn off USB Debugging .
Turn off phone .
Install latest Kies .
Reboot computer .
Power on phone and connect using Samsung USB cable to a main board USB port ..
Let windows find the USB drivers .
Then start KIES .
Other choice is to remove all USB drivers from the port you are using .

from everything i have read so far about the phone the S3 doesnt support usb mass storage mode out of the box. but there is an app that you can download from the themes and app section that will let you connect your phone to the pc in mass storage mode.

thanks for your reply friend,
but after researching a lot i found a few solutions...
here is one
install kies, and after installing kies also install this exe (Microsoft_User-Mode_Driver_Framework_Install-v1.0-WinXP)
this solution helped many people connect their devices.. but i still couldnt connect it
then finally i had to use my friends laptop with win 7 .. and it was connected
I am guessing you run quite an old version of XP... on my friends pc, the phone was recognised but I couldn't transfer files,
Mpf mode isn't supported on old xp versions, you gotta get yourself the driver
