I installed the LG PC Suite for Windows. It installed properly and even did an update, however it refuses to connect to my G3. I can see both my internal storage and SD card in Windows Explorer and can access all the files on my phone. I have downloaded and install the required USB drivers, and still no luck.
Has anyone else tried to us LG PC Suite and had better luck than me? What else do I need to do to get this up and running?

All,
I've tried everything and I cannot get my PC's to recognise my GS2.
It's not even constant, sometimes I connect it via USB to the PC and it comes up as unrecongised device, other times it will detect as a camera as GT-i9100 (regardless of it I select MTP)... I've reinstalled Kiers I don't know how many times and have even manually installed the drivers but still no luck.
So I gave up with that as I only want to connect to Odin to get rid of this crap software. So I downloaded the CWM root package onto my SD Card and booted into recovery, went to apply the zip and it says it cannot mount /sdcard as not such directory exists?!?! Now I don't have an external SD Card but the .zip file is located on the internal storage in /sdcard/Downloads.
I have a Mac at home that allowed a connection into Kiers first time to update to stock ICS - should I just abandon this trying to connect to Windows and try and find an alternative to Odin for Mac?
Thanks for any help at all.

but the .zip file is located on the internal storage in /sdcard/Downloads.
NO try copy pasting update zip file on root of SD card then try....
Edit : this rooting methed you can only try on ICS vesrions
Thanks ZACQ8.
I just thought I'd try another USB cable as a last shot, and OMG it started installing the drivers Still failed to install the Mobile MTP Device but it's getting there...
You have to use the same USB port when you connect your SGSII.
I noticed that if I plugged it into another port the phone would come up as unrecognised - this was all tested on a few PCs when the phone was on GB and connecting as an external hard drive.
I haven't tested if the problem still exists with ICS, as it do 'external hard drive'.
Seems like it was the cable all along...
Phone now recognised in Odin and Device Manager.
Pile of crap.
my phone freeze when connect to pc n cant detect my phone how?
Do you have the proper drivers installed on your computer?
Have you ever been able to connect to your computer?
And
Do you have any apps installed on the SDcard?
I've taken pictures with the S3 and it's stored in internal memory, how do I transfer the pictures to my computer without using Samsung Kies?
Connect using usb. You should be able to access both sd cards from my computer.
Card for external, Phone for internal.

ACtually you don't need KIES at all, and in my opinion, you shouldn`t even have it installed.
In order for xcly's suggestion to work (which is the proper method, btw), you need to have the drivers for the phone installed.
There are 2 ways to get that:
1) Uninstall KIES. It will ask you if you want to leave the drivers installed. Do so.
2) If completely uninstallaed KIES & drivers or never installed them, you can install the drivers only package from here:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
With these drivers you'll be able to connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable and use Windows Explorer to copy files to/from the phone easily.
Another much slower choice is to use Bluetooth.
when I plug in my I717 via USB in my desktop, windows sees it as Samsung Android device, but when I go into windows explorer, there's nothing to see (the usb or sd storage isnt listed at all) and I do have mtp usb storage activated on the phone and usb debug. I am running gingerbread touchwiz rom. I can see the phone and transfer files wirelessly with ES file explorer, but I cant access the sd card or the phones internal storage through usb windows explorer connection even though device management shows Samsung android device. Windows Device manager shows the phone with no yellow flags. anyone had this happen and found solution to share? thanks
You can try rebooting the computer, using different usb ports, using a different cable. I don't know if this works on gingerbread but I have used it on jellybean roms before when I've had trouble connecting... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch
Just thought of one other thing. You didn't say anything about Windows loading the device drivers so I gotta ask if you have installed the Samsung drivers?
Really now said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yep..have samsung drivers. also, about the app you linked above, I'd like to try it out but google play says its not compatible with my device (probably because I'm still on gingerbread). anywhere else I can download the apk and try manual install?
I think your problem is that you are connecting via MTP (media transfer protocol). You need to connect via USB mass storage. With your Note not connected to your PC, go into Settings, under Wireless and network look for USB utilities. Follow the phone's instructions for connecting to USB storage to your PC. Wait for the Windows autostart to read the phone storage. (My PC is XP and takes a minute or so.) Then you should see two new drives show on Windows Explorer. One is phone internal storage and the other is the phone's external SD card. Hope this works for you. Good luck!
I believe sonebwood is on the right track on this. I remember when the Note first came out I had to change something to get windows to see the drives. Is there any particular reason you keep the phone on gingerbread? ICS was a lot better and you can update to JB through Kies.
I uninstalled the android 2.3 system and tried tried to install cyanogen mod, but it does not start is always trying to install and I can not do anything with the cellphone. The odin does not recognize the phone to re-install the original android can not even copy it to the internal memory of the phone and install it. What do I do??, i have a Samsung galaxy s plus GT-I9001, with 350 mb RAM??
ps: To install the mod cyanogem I connected the phone to the PC and copied the software to internal memory and installed from the mobile phone, through the hard reset menu.
The problem is not able to connect the mobile phone to the pc in downloading mode because the odin does not recognize neither I can not connect to the phone without software.
grateful for the help
