Just a friendly note to the people who are having issues with connecting Samsung GS2 to the latest version of Kies.
I have a Galaxy S2 running on 2.3.3, rooted. Unfortunately I am unable to connect my phone to Samsung's inhouse PC interface program called Kies. After what seemd to be years of searching for a way to connect the damn phone, I was able to make it work, finally.
Here are the methods that I used.
1. Stop using Windows 7 64bit. This OS is currently unsupported.
2. Update to the latest version of KIES and use the driver installation method.
3. Restart the computer many times.
None of those worked, but after reading something on the net about SD cards, here's what I did:
1. Remove the battery.
2. Remove the SD card.
3. Startup GS2.
4. Startup Kies
5. Plug the device to the USB port.
And it worked! What the fuck. Anyway, In case anybody stumbles upon this, I hope it also works for you.
Now I'm having issues with trying to make the Kies backup work.
Oh Samsung, what would we do without you?

Thanks!!!
Work for me too...what the f..k???
worked for me
- clearing the memory

All didn't help, but removing the SD card worked like a charm
thanx buddy ! saved my day.. had been struggling for the last two days to make kies recognize my phone
cheers!
Win7 (64) with Kies 2.3 - finally worked after removing a "Samsung" micro-sd card from a "samsung sgh-i927" connecting to the computer with the "samsung" cable.
Good thing I bought all the bit with the brand-name on them so I could guarantee compatibility :/
removing the uSD card helped Kies connect to the device.
Now, just need to wait for Samsung to release ICS for the i927.
thanks!!this worked like magic..as you rightly said,...wtf!
it worked for me to THANKS
Wow! Been trying to figure this out for ages, thanks!
I'm glad this worked for so many people, but it didn't work for me .
After spending 3 hours trying to get my S2 to connect to the piece of poo that is Kies - I removed the SD card and boom - there it was!
"Thanks" is not enough.....
No idea why this works but it does. Thanks for the help!!
I have searched the internet for the past couple of days and pulled my hair out. Nothing worked. I then came across your post and simply removed my SD card. Upon connecting to Kies it then worked. Perfect!
Thank you so much, REDKINOKO.
I have just purchased my GS2 and realise how frustrating it is to not have something work as it should. Kies is a dissapointment to me. Nevertheless, to all who read this... we need to get it out there to help others in the same position.
The advice, type "REDKINOKO galaxy s2" into google and it will lead people directly to this post.
Well done sir!

To everybody in this post, glad I was able to help. Honestly, I love my GS2, but I hate Kies just as much. I try to avoid using it. Odin can do your firmware updates for you (although it may invalidate some warranties) while the Kies wireless or the direct interface in Windows7, XP lets you transfer files just as easily.
WOW - after trying loads of other stuff this worked THANK YOU SO MUCH amazing!!!
what the f.... It really worked.... :)))))))))))))
Amazing... This has been killing me... Why I didn't Google and find this months ago I just don't know... Thank you so much
IT ACTUALLY WORKED
only removed the Memory card and there you go !!! Shocking but true
Hi !! Thanks for putting it up. I tried for 3 hours straight but finally after seeing your advice i tried removing the battery and it worked.
I had tried reinstalling device driver using Kies thrice, restarting computer, restarting my mobile and some other things but removing the battery made it work.
Thanks again!!!!
This worked. I was unable to update my Samsung Captivate Glide (SGH-I927) from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich until I found this tip. Many thanks.
Samsung needs get better software people.
