Hey guys I've read on internet that you can root(xperia arc) the phone without unlocking the bootloader using Gingerbreak. Is that real? And if you root without unlocking bootloader, will you void anymore the warranty?

when i plug in the USB to my phone i only get the option to mount SD. I've tried looking for a USB mode under settings to ask what mode i need but can't find any options under settings.

so when my phone is connected to my pc i just get an error message from Kies saying phone not recognised.

any tips?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Switch phone OFF .

Run Kies as admin

Start Kies when Kies loads connect USB cable Kies should now show on phone . Kies will then find phone .

That fails close Kies connect phone in USB mass storage mode let PC find drivers disconnect and fire Kies up again .

Im not sure if what you said also aplies for my problem: I have Windows XP.

Yesterday I connected my SGS2 to my mother's laptop which runs Windows 7 and all, worked pretty good.

Today, I have been trying for about 5 hours to connect my phone to my PC. It runs Windows XP. I am now at the point that I start Kies (tried Dutch, then UK, now US version of Kies) and I plug in phone.

It says 'connecting' and doesn't stop. I have waited for 10 minutes and nothing. The device is in 'MTF mode' or something. On my moms Windows 7 laptop the computer starting doing things (installing drivers or something?) and that name quickly changed a few times, after which it worked with Kies. On my PC, nothing.

I have installed drivers trough Kies itself. I have searched till the edge of internetz.

I give up. Somebody please help me.

PS: I always have problems like this. Thats why I dont touch my PC so often. Everything that can be done in 20 minutes goes wrong with me and it takes me hours. Computers hate me.

:(

Edit: I tried what is told here and it doesn't work -_-

Edit 2:... Im giving up. After trying all day (Sunday is boring anyway) to update my phone via Kies I give up. I will remain forever at the same software. If Kies ever decides to stop ignoring my phone, he can call me.
[Galaxy S II General] Ahlin:
I have the exact same problem... I've Googled around and tried tons different suggestions, but none of them seems to work.... I'm going crazy!!!

Please update thread if any one of you find a solution! :)
[Galaxy S II General] rsibweza:
Had the same problem too. Have you tried removing the dubug mode for usb and try to connext to kies?. Worked for me
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Another victim of the dark side of Kies haha.. We need to gather more people and plan an attack on Kies.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Off course. If I have the debug mode (usb connection) on Kies will say I have to switch to Kies PC Suite mode.

On the other hand, USB storage works. When I try to connect to Kies it says connecting for a long time and nothing happens or it stops.

One thing I have noticed is when I turned my sound on it was like the connection between my phone and the PC kept going on and off once in a while. I have really no idea what is going on, but since I have spend almost an entire Sunday trying to make it work and havnt succeded I believe its not a standard problem (and I am no idiot, nor am I a l33t haxor)

Anyway, I will just wait. I mean that update isnt THAT important, it just bugs me I cant make it work lol

Oh, and I have tried different USB ports, just in case that one was broken.
[Galaxy S II General] Zakir.Umar:
I am also having problems, with Kies via WiFi. It connects and everything, even displays the content on my phone on my laptop screen in the Kies window, however when i click upload (a photo for example) the documents box and folders inside display all silver and when i open a folder with photos inside, no photos appear.

I am rooted on KE7. Funnily, it worked this morning...so i don't know what's happened since then:confused:

I am a newbie, so please be a bit simple in your reply.

Thanks

Nothing new yet guys? I really want to be able to flash and root my phone now!!
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Just a question, but are you using the touchwiz launcher? Or have you installed a third party launchet(adw/launcherpro/etc)?

Kies will only connect to touchwiz/samsung launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] HCTerrorist:
I too have the exact same problem with my SGSII (i9100).

Kies tries to connect, only to result in a "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0".

I tried using diffirent USB-ports, reinstalling Kies (latest version ofc.) and reinstalling drivers.

USB-debugging is off ofcourse. I also tried different languages (Dutch and English UK), I'm using stock TW 4.0 and i haven't rooted my phone.

I can drag&drop files from my PC onto my phone with simple copy/paste.

Strange that Windows (7 x64) does recognise my phone.

I can not however get Kies to recognise/connect to it.
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Connects fine using Launcher Pro.
[Galaxy S II General] jimbiye:
Just before Updating to KE7 I wasn't able to connect to Kies (it had never happened to me before).

I completely uninstalled Kies, then re-downloaded the install file from Samsung UK.

After I reinstalled Kies, phone connected just fine and I was able to update the firmware.

Not sure if that will resolve the problem for everyone, but it did work for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Ahlin:
I was actually using Launcher Pro, but swapped back to Touchwiz, and killed ALL background processes. It didn't work either. I also tried to switch USB-port, but no! Nothing seems to work.

Open to any suggestions! :)
[Galaxy S II General] ghiri:
Hello. I also have problems connecting through kies. My computer can't install CDC serial drivers. I don't have a clue why do I need CDC serial. My big problem is that I can't get the drivers working so Odin can't recognize my phone.

When I install it the first time I choose another location than the real one. I tried to reinstall again but the installer doesn't ask me again the location but just the language. Do you think the location could be a problem for the installing of the drivers? Thank you very much. I hope we can find a solution cause it's frustrating to have such a wonderful phone and the worst customer support. I remember that I had the same problems with Galaxy S. I need it one week to find the solution. Damn u Samsung!
[Galaxy S II General] artesea:
At first I had USB Debugging on and ADW as the launcher.

By turning of Debugging and switching to stock launcher I was able to get the MTP driver installed and had the USB cable image thing on the phone whilst plugged in. However I still couldn't get part the CDC driver.

Running out the door this morning, I removed Kies on my Win7 machine and reinstalled, and also installed Kies on my rubbish XP netbook.

Didn't have time to check the Win7 box, but the XP netbook has got Kies talking to my When I get home I'll see if making sure that debugging is off at the start and stock launcher is set before plugging it back in to Win7.
[Galaxy S II General] scarecrow2012:
I had a similar problem with Kies, but after a hard reset Kies works again. Dont think Ill use it anyway but it was good to get it working again just in case.
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
How weird, neither my tab nor s2 will connect with kies if using a third party launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] Ahlin:
It would be okay with me if it didn't work with Kies, but what's bothering me is that it won't work with Odin either! :(
[Galaxy S II General] HCTerrorist:
Still impossible to get my sgs2 recognised by Kies.

But does anyone know the following:

Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check for update

When i pick check for update it searches and says: no update available.

Is this another way update your firmware, or is it meant for something else?

Thx in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
Same problems with Kies here. It just stays on 'connecting'. Strange thing is, it worked for a short time, but after that, I never got it to work again...
[Galaxy S II General] andrej.marinic:
kies is one of the worst programs ever. alone the fact that it states a dual-core processor as a requirement let's you think twice before actually using it.

odin should be your best friend from now on.
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
Wow it's amazing! I've got it working again (Win7 64)!!!

My problem was, like many others, within kies, it just stayed on connecting. Nothing else happened. Now I got it working again.

This is what I did...

1) First I removed the Samsung Kies USB Drivers (start, control panel, programs and features)

2) After removing the Samsung Kies Drivers, I removed Samsung Kies.

3) After I removed Samsung Kies I shut down my computer, and after that rebooted it again (I know a simple reboot should do the trick, but I thought, better safe then sorry)

4) Downloaded the latest version of Samsung Kies from the Samsung website

5) Installed Samsung Kies with administrator rights (right click, run as administrator)

6) After installation I started Samsung Kies with administrator rights.

7) After Samsung Kies started, I connected the phone with the provided usb cable (make shure USB Debugging is of!)

8) Now windows will automaticly install the needed drivers (be patiënt it may take some time) Also make shure your phone screen won't go off, or that the phone is locked.

9) Now it should be working again. First I saw a message windows found a external hard drive and not long after that Samung Kies saw my phone.

Well I hope this will work also for you guys.
[Galaxy S II General] Ahlin:
I need to test this right away! :D
[Galaxy S II General] HCTerrorist:
Did everything exactly as described, and everything went just the way u described it, except the bold part :D

Kies simply will not connect to my device as it states my device is not supported.
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
Yeah well, that's also an other problem compared to the one I had. Mine simply stayed on "connecting" I didn't get an error like yours.
[Galaxy S II General] artesea:
Removed drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled, plugged in with screen prodded to stop it timing out. CDC Serial fails everytime.

Managed to get Kies working on the WinXP Netbook, but it refused to install the latest firmware as there was limited space on the harddrive (wanted a minimum of 3gb!), however I just switched to ODIN once the drivers were working.
[Galaxy S II General] artesea:
Turns out, removing drivers from Device Manager, uninstalling Samsung Kies, turning off PC, turning it back on, running the Kies installer via Administrator mode, waiting, turning off USB debugging on phone, making TwLauncher default, setting screen timeout to 10 minutes, go back to Kies installer, say no to running now, run Kies from desktop via Administrator mode finally got the drivers installed.
[Galaxy S II General] troed:
There must be something special with the original micro-USB cable delivered with the SGS II

Whenever I charge my SGS II with my Hama-Charger and connect it to the SGS II with the original cable it immediately shows the screen: "connecting to Kies" which does not happen using a standard USB-cable.

So methinks that some connection probs with Kies might origin from using not the provided micro-USB-cable .......................
[Galaxy S II General] novaci:
I doubt it. My SGSII connects to Kies with everything but the included cable!
[Galaxy S II General] Noxys:
Strange enough, I solved my Kies connection problem by pushing the volume rocker up (it was on silent).

I also had to change the auto lock time to 10 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

Hi there!

I actually managed to sync the phone with my dads computer without any trouble, so the problem most be somewhere in my computer. I began having these problems around may 21:st, and I removed every programs and drivers I installed that day, and the day before that. Because before that, I could connect to Kies, but then for some strange reason everything went wrong.... I will continue searching for some driver or software that might disturb Kies in some way....

AAAGHH.... This is so fu***** annoying....

Have you tried using windows restore point just in case when you have removed the apps etc from those two days it has left something behind. It might be worth a shot to go further back in time .
[Galaxy S II General] PeteRyde:
I noticed that if the cdc serial driver fails to install correctly, Kies will just keep saying connecting but not connect. I installed the Galaxy S drivers from Softpedia and it then worked.
[Galaxy S II General] Jayman007:
I have exactly this problem as well and it's been an issue since the day I took the gs2 out of the box. Kies try's to connect and sees my phone as does the computer and then "Unsupported device alert. This device is not supported by Keis 2.0 Make sure that your device is supported and try again"

I tried everything including different computers and ALWAYS get the exact same result. I stopped trying for a couple months until today and when I started keis I saw that it wanted to update so I let it. Still same issue. I have uninstalled and re downloaded the keis software from Samsung and no matter what I do I get "unsupported device".

I definitely get past the connection phase but keis does not like my gs2.. I might add that I have a i9000t but I have yet to see anyone else with a t complain of this issue. I have searched high and low for a solution but none can be found.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S II General] Livespiritster:
is it necessary to check debug mode ?
[Galaxy S II General] Jayman007:
I get the update prompt when i start kies and have tried with all version and always get the same result. How is it kies doesn't recognize my gs2 as a supported phone?
[Galaxy S II General] adddi17:
Guys,

I had the same problem more than once. The most frustrating point was after a revert to stock 2.3.6 after stock 4.0.3 and, with full wipe & clear cache, sometimes I could connect, sometimes I couldn't. Somehow it managed to connect so I was happy and left it as it was.

A few minutes ago I wasn't able to connect to Kies without doing anything in particular (I have GO Launcher, by the way), thus I found myself on this thread :)

How I managed to make it work?

After (unsuccessfully) trying to connect it over cable, I tried connecting over WiFi and I got a message informing me that Kies for USB is already opened (I don't remember the actual message) and I kept receiving this message even after "Clear memory".

So, I just restarted the phone (I long pressed the power button until the screen turned off and on, with the S logo) and it worked like a charm after that!

Hopefully this will work for you too, guys.

Cheers.

***Need help*** with broken/ cracked screen on my vibrant. Anyone here know how to replace and where to buy a screen. Touchscreen still works fine, but I have 2 vertical cracks down the phone and 2 across horizontally. Please help.

Vibrant ROOTED and on TOXIC CRACK :-)
[Vibrant Accessories] yalkowni:

also there is a youtube video on how to do it
[Vibrant Accessories] fatihaky:
I also cracked mine some time ago. The kits sold on ebay is fine. It includes amoled+gorilla glass, because amoled is so thin that it is impossible to sell it independently. There are several videos on youtube. It is not a hard replacement, I'm sure you can do it yourself. Just disassemble it and after removing mainboard, you remove data bus of the screen, then connect the new screen's data bus. Mine works perfect
[Vibrant Accessories] nazcalito:
I replaced my broken screen but it is not easy. The youtube videos make it look easier than it is. Besides a 2 mm phillips and a pry tool, you will need tweezers, strong reading glasses, something like rubber cement because the screen is really just glued in there, good lighting, and a lot of patience. I have worked on laptops and this is harder.

Once you figure out that the front bezel isn't designed to hold the screen in, it becomes a bit less frustrating but it took me about three hours and lots of scraping of little pieces of broken screen glass out of the front bezel frame. It's back together but I must have gotten the microphone in backwards because it doesn't work, or maybe a wire pulled off the mic. The supplemental menu button in the lower left hand corner does not work either. .
[Vibrant Accessories] SirBalto:
Do yourself a favor and buy a new phone, the AMOLED+Gorilla glass is like 75% of the total cost. Gorilla glass is cheap about $25 but it is extremly hard to replace. at least it is very difficult to remove without inflicting any damage to the phone or the AMOLED. If you go for it. you can use heat to soften the adhesive but be careful that AMOLED is extremly fragile on its own and the touch screen can get easily burned.
[Vibrant Accessories] nazcalito:
After looking on Global Direct, it seems the eBay screen replacement kits don't include everything you need. The phone originally uses die cut adhesive stickers instead of glue to keep the screen in. Screens can be had for $100-$120, less than the phone, but the lower button - mic assembly flex-pcb seems prone to being screwed up 'cause my lower left button and mic won't work now. My screen was pretty well crumbled especially around the lower buttons and perhaps it was just unavoidable that I damaged the lower button mic pcb trying to scrape the glass off.. A new pcb costs around $40 and that is getting up to the price of the phone. Still, being able to successfully disassemble the phone and know how it works could be useful. Some people might be clever enough to upgrade stock parts like putting in a better mic, arctic-silver-epoxying a thin sheet heatsink to the cpu to aid in ocing, etc. The new screen did not break and looks pristine, though, it's just that I f**ked up something else putting it in.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tolis77:
Hi all,

I was trying to install a new Rom Dronix 0.4. Upon entering the bootloader I accidentaly somehow no idea how,deleted clockwork mod recovery that was on there and now just can't get into bootloader mode or even get my phone to start up past the 1st screen.I've tried volume up +green button and power button to try to get in,volume down + end call red button and power button no go.The only thing it goes into is if I hold the volume down button + call green button and power which takes me to the firmware update but just flashes and says unpack failed.The other thing is that if press the red and green buttons for calls and the power button it brings the screen to a purplish colour but does nothing as well.I've tried to get the computer to recognize the phone but it won't even after installing the usb drivers with windows xp and windows 7.Atm there is no ROM on the phone after deleting it,cache and dalvik cache. It's just empty with not even a bootloader to try and boot into, only hardware is available now.

I'm at a loss as to what and any help if trying to get it back and running would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
