Need to do the following if kies is not recognizing your device if connected through USB
- Press the following key in the dialer *#7284#
- it has 4 option
- UART (MODEM/PDA) , USB (MODEM/PDA)
- For USB. select the PDA. if already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting and then press back. try reconnect.
- Then could update the kies to its latest version and then upgrade the firmware twice to actually upgrade it on my SGS2.
