[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 not connecting to Samsung Kies after PACMAN ROM upgrade

[jbagnal]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2 ROM to PACMAN ROM 4.2.2. Upgrade was successful and

everything is working fine. The backup I had taken in Samsung Kies is now becoming difficult

to put it back to my phone. I tried all possible ways to connect my phone to Samsung Kies but

this is not working. Due to this I am unable to restore my backup to my phone. Whenever I

connect my phone it gets stuck in connecting message and does nothing. It used to work before

the previous ROM.

What I have done till now:
1) Reinstalled samsung Kies several times (without & with phone connected). Downloaded the

latest kies and installed.
2) Manually installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe from kies folder.
3) USB Debugging ON/OFF both way tried - no help. (MTP Enabled always)
4) Removed all phone entries (ADB & other entries) from device manager and reinstalled each

drivers completely - no help
5) Take battery off and restart while kies connected.
6) checked different cable - no help
7) Tried on different laptop - no help
8) Tried connecting Kies with safe mode -




Please can anyone help?

Thanks,
Jas

Welcome to the forums!
I tried connecting mine to Kies, and it didn't after ten minutes. I think it is the fact of custom ROMs, but I may be wrong. For me it's no big loss. The only thing i update Kies for is Samsung Drivers.
Everything else, I have an app that can back up what Kies can.

Hi, the only mistake I did, I took my back up via Kies and now its not able to connect. I think I should have used some other apps to do this. Its definitely the ROM problem.

I learned this after rooting and installing a custom ROM.

Kies does not recognize custom ROM.

Hope this helps
