For those who can't connect with Kies

After half an hour trying I have just found a working solution how to connect your SGS in Kies. Here is the deal:
Start Kies, put phone's USB settings in Kies mode. Connect your phone to the PC. Wait until MTP App show "Connected". Go to your PC's Device manager, find Portable Devices and select Disable on GT-I9000. Do not wait for the disabling process to be completed, just disconnect the USB cable. Now connect the USB cable again, wait the MTP App on the phone to show you the message "Connected" and choose Enable on GT-I9000 in Device Manager. After a few seconds your phone should be ready in Kies
I tried this both on x86 and x64 Windows 7 and it works for me.
I hope this will help! And I hope there isn't another thread with this solution. If there is - I'm sorry

i cant wait to get home and try this... another 10h to go
but if this helps ur a geniues

Will put this in the FAQ if we have some confirmations for its effectiveness

when i first bought my phone it worked with kies, but after flashing it to a different firmware there was nothing i could do to get it to connect. i had deleted drivers, re-installed, etc etc but nothing worked. what ended up working was putting the phone in download mode, plugging in the usb to both phone and pc, then putting the phone into recovery mode, and as soon as the recovery menu popped up my device was recognized and the correct drivers were reinstalled and all was fine again

If you still have this problem, please try my method and tell me if it works

I had issues and I also tried this method. But it didn't help
Last thing I tried was to format the internal SD. That did the trick for me....

The biggest problem with getting the phone to connect to Kies is two fold:
1) MTP application will ONLY launch from the home screen (touchwiz screen). NOT from any app. drawer / launcher screen
2) If USB mode on the phone is set to Ask on Connection, MTP won't launch due to the USB app. being open (see 1) above)
If you set USB to Kies mode and then ensure you are on the home screen of the phone with nothing else running, Kies WILL connect

Also remember the 16+ size extension bug.
So a full wipe on ur I internal sd card is a good solution just make sure u back it up tour hdd

I also did a "Driver recovery" from Kies and it worked after that. Although MTP driver failed to install for me in this case.

Make sure to update to the latest version of Kies ( Now 1.5.1.0074.45 ) as this version seems far more reliable when connecting the phone

I recently discovered that the culprit of Kies continuously trying to connect to phone was caused by wrong MTP driver selected.
Under WinXP
After phone connected in Kies Mode..Go to Device Manager/Portable device..
If you see a device labeled as "MTP xxx or Portable device.." ,wrong MTP driver or older driver has been used..For my case, a Microsoft 2004 MTP driver was selected.
To fix it.
1) Do a manual driver update..for my case ,i let the driver wizard to search automatically..this round, another newer Microsoft driver was found..in fact 2 of them.. after installing the drivers(Microsoft 2006 MTP driver,2 are listed..). .Now Device Manager/Portable device listed "GT-i9000" ,Kies immediately found my phone.
Driver name that worked are "wpdusb.sys" and "wudfrd.sys" found under \windows\System32\drivers\..

You must not understand English. The entire reason I posted a comment was to share how I overcame this issue, so that would mean I no longer have this issue

Probable Fix for Kies
Friends,
I have also faced the same problem (while connecting my SGS via Kies MTP was crashing). It used to work earlier so I started to remove Applications and data in the reverse order of Installation. After I removed "Dolphin Browser HD" and all saved bookmarks it started working.
This may be a probable solution if you also have Installed Dolphin Browser.

2 different issues.
MTP crashing on phone is independent from Kies on PC cant detect phone.

i couldnt use kies either but i wasnt worried as i hardly have free time now..
this was a simple fix and now it workes perfectly for me.
sorry about the late replay.
thanks

I'm glad that it works for you

You might be interested in my little APK (SGS Toolbox). I first created it to have it read the product code from the nv_data file to allow you to check whether it has been modified after a firmware update. But now I added some extra options, of which one is the option to check whether there are new firmware updates available in KIES by issuing the same request KIES does when checking for new firmware. This way you don't have to connect your phone to your computer all the time to check for new updates in KIES. Note: It sends JM1 as the current firmware version to find the latest. I might send the actual phone's firmware version once I figured out how to find it. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778244

Thanks, I'll give it a try

"USB not recognised", Odin download mode problem

Hey. Im brand new to this forum and to Android aswell since i came from Iphone. Yea im a noob and sorry if you notice bad english
So i received my SGS2 some days ago and after researching about root/custom roms and stuff, I decided to start with rootin my SGS2. i download Odin3 1.85 and superoneclick, i also liked litening rom v1.1 and downloaded that too.
So i turn on "USB debugging" and turn off the phone to enter "download mode" and when i try to connect to Odin, nothing shows up. And Windows bar tells me that usb is not recognised. But... flash drive/transferring files and connecting to Kies works just fine. Please help me, ive been sitting over 24 hours with this issue and ive restarted/uninstalled installed pretty much everything over and over again (kies/drivers/device) not windows though. Why wont Windows/odin recognise it in download mode???
And if possible, is there a way around to install litening rom??

Thats weird man....very very unlikely to happen...
Just tell us step by step with screen shots if possible then it becomes very easy for us to find where u r doing it wrong...ok ?

Turn off USB debugging .
reboot phone and PC .
jje

While being in download mode on the phone, the pc/odin is not recognising anything
but everything works fine and recognises when i transfer files or use Kies
/tried uploading screenshots but the forum wudnt allow it since im a noob lol)

This is driver issue.Try to find on kies an option to install the drivers again(i am not in front of my pc).Of course phone on and untick usb debugging

This is a driver problem. The Gadget Driver fails to get installed properly.
Make sure Windows Update are set to automatically find drivers for your devices.
I myself faced this problem. To rectify it I'd to try the same thing on a different machine and it worked flawlessly there.
The problem you're facing is that the Service Mode drivers are not getting installed, hence Odin is unable to recognize it.
Other possible fixes include, trying on different USB Ports, downloading Samsung PC Studio.

Thx for the replies everyone. Yea i figured its a driver issue, ill try the suggested actions incl samsung pc studio installing, and if its still not working i guess my last resort is using another pc or reinstalling windows on my own pc

In kies, i think in the tools menu, there is a install drivers option. This will fix the problem im sure. Not sure about pc studio having the same.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

fyi, i reinstalled windows and updated everything and the driver connection issue is solved now. I should have done this from the beginning instead of freaking out for several midnight hours lol thx for the help everyone, hopefully the rooting and flashing process should happen painless now

if anyone has this problem too,
i had the same problem and for me closing kies helped.

USB Connecion with PC does''t detect phone (Posting again for help)
I am trying to connect my Grand 2 [SM-G7102] with my pc, but unfortunately, its not detecting my phone. And I don't even have a clue whether it happened because of me or not..
I've already tried several steps to solve my prob but none of them worked.
Like-
1. Rebooting the phone, clearing cache n dalvik cache. (Didn't worked)
2. Uninstalled all its drivers from computer and reinstalling latest one's. (Tried old and new versions, none worked)
3. Installed Kies3 to check its discoverable or not. (Tries to discover but says not recognized)
4. Changing modes from mtp to ptp to adb. (Useless)
5. Cleaning off the pins and using its original data cable. (Switched several cables)
After these steps what I found out is that after fresh installed drivers it attempts to install its own driver which takes too long but after installing it does not get detected in my computer but rather it shows up in device manager with name "SAMSUNG_Android".
I know it cant be rom issue or anything like that, but also I believe its not pin broken issue as it is charging plus when i uninstalled all its drivers the device tries to reinstall its own driver taking 5 minutes but in end it shows "Installing SAMSUNG_Android" and closes.
So please help me out and suggest something .
Thanks in advance .

Sometime it may happens if you change your kernel

Reformat computer or try different computer

Assuming, you have no problem with your USB port, USB cable, installed latest LG USB Driver 4.0.4, running Windows 7 or 10...
We need more detailed info from your part to tackle this problem. Are you running on stock rom, kitkat or lollipop? Are your rooted and do you have TWRP recovery?
Then, you need to disable "USB debugging" from the "Developer options" menu. Then replug your USB cable and you can now select MTP instead of charging only mode. Good luck.

i have fought the no mtp problem and everytime i lost. if you try new things they just dont work. what has worked was to reformat computer then it will work..

I had the same problem with my G2. Unknown usb device, and the error was: "unable to get device descriptor" or something similar. Tried all software solution without success, so i have started to looking for hardware defect. I've changed the usb module, but no success. So, as a last chance, tried another mainboard. And "tadaaaa"... That was the problem. So, start to look for a working g2 with cracked screen, as i did.

Updating Yotaphone 2 YD201 ME Build

Dear all, I'm new here and just got my yotaphone 2 today, bought it locally from UAE, i beleive that the build ME refers to Middle East, got an android version of 4.4.3 YD201 model.
I thought that YD201 models are OTA updatable versions but seems not
Please can you guide me in a simple way how to update to lollipop? Noting that I've never flashed or done this before
Thank you so much..

You can follow this guide fully but you don't need to flash HK first, so you just flash RU 5.0.0 firmware directly.

Thank you so much.. Totally appreciate that.. But I don't know if it really matters as the tools relates to YD206 while I have YD201.. Should I proceed ?

By the tools do you mean YotaphoneFlasher? It works on both 201 and 206 since it's from official.

Thank you again.. OK I'm all set everything is ready but the only thing that's keeping me is drivers installation... Somehow the Google drive coming with the flasher is not being installed. I tried all ways possible, I.e. right click on the INF file and install but I get error message, and also tried to install it from device manager but couldn't. Can you please help with this? Thanks again
Btw I'm using Windows 7

Would you mind to post the srceenshot so I know your problem?

my dear friend, i managed to update the driver, thanks to you, but it seems that when i power off the phone and enter the "downloading " mode on the phone screen then connect it to the computer it seems the phone is not being connected.. i used the flasher chosed option 1 "flash the cellphone" then i get the message "waiting for device" on the flasher..
i had a screenshot just to show that i have done everything i should (i guess) .. i.e. copied the firmware.. etc,,,
mindyou, i think the problem is that when i conncet the phone to usb it goes under other devices/Android which is not being recognized..
you are the best and thank you for your help again and again!

Weird. Do you've already install both drivers and restart your computer?
If yes, how about try to plug another usb port?

I got both ADB and Qualm drivers installed.. but nothing happening! I tried the 3 usb ports already..
I don't know how to solve this.. I think I need to try it on another computer .. maybe it'll work out!

Your driver not properly install. Try reboot pc, enable usb debugging at phone, plug in usb. See if there is any changes at device manager.
There is yellow triangle. So it mean.. Oh.. Oo..
If stilk not ok. Plug out usb from pc. At device manager, unsinstall both yellow triangle. Plug in back usb. So it will detect device and windows trying to install it.

If you have Windows 10 you have to disable signature driver verification, entering in the advanced boot menu of windows. After that the .inf driver will install.

I got the update at last and it's working beautifully smooth I downloaded universal driver from adbdriver.com and it worked perfectly. Thank you all guys for your help and efforts
