From my earlier post at Samsung GSII tread about my problem with installing the driver... QUOTE I think I figured out what's wrong with my I9100G. It seems that the drivers installed from Samsung has incompatible hardware ID with my phone after the firmware update to 2.3.6 DZKJ2. The drivers (7 Unknown Devices, 1 Comnone Suspend) identified by Driver Manager on my phone right now have the following Hardware ID:
USB\VID_1519
but the most of the INF files on the USB Driver folder have the following address for Hardware ID:
USB\VID_04E8
I guess this is why there is a problem when installing the driver. Does anyone else has the same problem with mine when connecting the I9100G to computer via USB using the latest Samsung firmware (DZKJ2)? EDIT: It seems that my computer have no problem recognize the phone though when it's on Download Mode, kinda weird. I guess it's more of the firmware problem than anything else...

QUOTE(fuzore @ Nov 12 2011, 03:59 PM) have u try installing myphoneexplorer on ur pc it works just like kies does but easier, i'm using this apps to replace kies for everyday backup on phonebook and sms also file transfer... Thanks for the suggestion, but still didn't solve my problem, as my computer still can't recognize and install the proper drivers for my phone via USB, although I think I shouldn't have problem rooting using the second method. BTW, just curious, but will rooting solve the USB problem? Based on what I learned about rooting, I doubt it, but I wish to know others' opinions about this.  |

QUOTE(I9100G @ Nov 12 2011, 04:42 PM) Tried your method earlier, but the result is still the same. I checked with the device manager, and all of those devices said that the problem is that "There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.", even though I have installed the USB drivers inside my laptop. BTW, my phone's firmware is GINGERBREAD.DZKJ2, the one I downloaded using wifi via software update on my phone. |

QUOTE(I9100G @ Nov 12 2011, 05:06 PM) I think you should google how to repair samsung driver installation. If you install KIES, there's a troubleshooting button which will basically repair and reinstall your driver. Maybe that will help Oh, I tried that button before, which also didn't solve the problem. However, like I have mentioned previously, my laptop recognize my phone just fine when my phone is in download mode, so I highly suspect there's some sort of bug with Samsung's firmware. Well, guess if I want to root my phone, I have to do it the old fashioned way then. |

QUOTE(I9100G @ Nov 12 2011, 05:29 PM) Probably you should try to use other PC first I did try on my father's laptop, which has XP instead of Vista (my laptop). I installed Kies on his laptop, and plugged in the USB, with the same result as with my laptop (can't detect the right drivers to install). Again, I deeply suspect the firmware is the culprit here, cuz there is a user who posted here previously that have no such problem until the upgrade to DZKJ2. |

QUOTE(I9100G @ Nov 12 2011, 05:45 PM) Hmm... Too bad... you would loose the latest firmware. If you manage to save your files/data somewhere/somehow, you can always do a Factory Reset to clear up EVERYTHING, then you can dial *2767*3855#. Warning, you'll loose EVERYTHING, including data inside the internal sd. I'm not too keen with this method, since I have not backup any of my data yet, and I don't like to use Factory Reset if there is an alternative. I think another method would be installing the driver manually, but with 8 drivers to install, and no reference points, it can be daunting. If there are people who are willing to check the corresponding drivers (can be found by clicking Driver Details under the Driver tab) for the Physical Device Object names (can be found on the pull-down list on Details tab) below, it would help us greatly in solving this problem.

Just wondering, if I do factory reset, what data will get deleted? Will the apps that come originally with my phone (ie Kies Air, Polaris Office) still inside my phone after the reset?
