What flavor of windows are you using? Does Windows recognize it? I have Win 7 and had to re-install Kies, updated it, and then ran as administrator in Win XP sp3 compatibility mode. Also, some have found hooking up the phone first, then opening Kies finds the phone, (Windows should see it first then ask what you want to do- click view files/folders and then minimize those windows). Just updated my GF's phone last night doing the above. Also, at certain points Kies may drop the phone, but reconnects and installs. Hope this helps.

Man, ive used odin a couple of times without any problem. I rooted and flashed su on 4.0.4 and then updated to stock jb and rooted using odin. What I meant by rooting is flashing a custom recovery. Yes, after all that I still flashed custom roms, lol, and yes, im now running a modified stock rom thanks to rushing who mixed the best mods and I just forget about tweaking and flashing many zips. Mobile hotspot working stock, priceless.

Nope, you need to flash cwm recovery through Odin then flash superuser.zip to root. Maybe rom manager has the cwm. Then reboot into recovery then flash the zip but I'm not sure. I don't use rom Manager

Was your problem narrowed down to your phone or the pc? I had a similar problem, but it was driver issues. After downloading Kies, it works fine.

Actually there is a way.
Here is how I did it.
Download Rom Manager FREE and Premium.
Flash clockworkmod recovery for GSII Tmobile
Download Superuser from "Download Rom" section and scrolling down to where it says "Superuser"
Install the latest Superuser, and you're done!
It's that easy.
And then to get busybox, you can search the market for busybox installer and install the latest version of it.

oh wow you still didn't get it to work? yeah narrow it down to either the pc or the phone.
his previous phone states that his old t989 connected completely fine to the laptop but after doing an exchange the new one is not detected. He has tried reinstalling and uninstalling the drivers, kies, and removing whatever is installed through usb with usbdeview.
so yeah, i'm stumped also. any of the mentioned method worked for me... soo good luck once again op! lol

well firstly get the tmobile 2.3.6 kernel and flash it ( if you dont and revert to stock you will bootloop) then download the unroot file its in the dev section unzip it then place the tar file on pda and flash but do a factory reset before you flash the process takes about ten minutes.. reboot and well i did another factory reset.. also flash the vl1 radio as well before you flash odin..

Download that zip. (this the newest update released yesterday)
And download odin from http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Then follows these steps:
1) Power off your phone
2) Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
3) Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding with 'Warning' appears.
4) Press Volume UP and start ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
5) Click PDA and locate the MD5 file extracted earlier.
6) Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
7) You phone will reboot when its finished then you can unplug the usb and reboot your phone once again.
Got odin link and modified the steps from KonstantinKeller restore stock thread..so thanks to him and thanks to przekret for making the flashable zip

Your phone will never read "1GB". Due to how android handles memory, some will be reserved for it and not be visible to you. Kinda like what Windows does to your hard drive.

You can also use mobile odin pro and enable everroot. If you maintain root, you can use goomanager from the market to install twrp recovery. Seems like there are a number of ways to do this, I just found this the easiest way.
