Help Kies will not connect

[Premo da Rula]

I'm having trouble getting kies to recognize mt phone. I plug it in and it keeps askin me to connect a device. Do I need to have USB debugging checked? This is driving me nuts cause it was working.

Soooooo....... obviously noone else is having this problem.

Hi Premo. Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Kies. Rebooting your computer and phone?

 

[Premo da Rula]

Yeah Ive tried all those even installed on another laptop. I'm stumped . It worked a couple of months ago.

Yup, its happening to my Galaxy s2....SAME EXACT THING!!! Hoping to find a solution..

I've seen it happening a lot lately with people with different Samsung phones. Maybe its a Samsung problem.

I dont know but it was working when the ICS update came out and a couple of months after. When I tried it this weekend nothin. I'm thinkin I need it so I can flash CWM seein as my pc needs to recognize my phone. Right????

I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 so I'm not 100% sure how you flash CWM on yours. Check the stickies in the All Things Root section. I assume you would use Odin and yes, your PC would need to see your phone but not necessarily Kies. Odin would have to see it. If Odin sees your phone, you would see a yellow rectangle with a com number like this:

Have you tried Kies with USB debugging checked?

 

[Premo da Rula]

Yes I tried usb debugging checked on and I read the instructions and even you tubed them.

Try using a different USB cable. It may sound pointless but I switched cables and it worked fine. I has the same problem yesterday.

I used Kies and it worked fine, albeit slow. Is it an issue of patience? I mean, it might have been a full minute before it recognized my phone. Data transfer and all that was slow, but it did work.

You should check out this]site, seems to be working in mine (for updating OS on phone), not sure if KIES will work properly afterwards...
