I bought a Galaxy S II GT-I9100G two weeks back from Malaysia and it was running on Android ver. 2.3.5. But three days back I saw a 2.3.6 update available and updated my phone using the update option available in the phone. But now when I connect phone to PC via USB it shows unknown device and Windows cant find the driver suitable for it. And so I can't transfer files to or from my PC. Could anyone please help me out here?

My PC is running on Win7 x64.

Worked for me:

  1. Unplug the USB cable

  2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.

  3. Plug the USB cable.

Note:

  • Repair USB connection for any Samsung Android phone

Try installing Kies (check the "Software" subtab under "Downloads"). It should install the drivers automatically but if not it has a menu option to install them.

"Just make sure you use a USB port on the back of your computer. Front ones can be less than perfect as there is cables, noise etc." This fixed my USB connectivity and transfer problems.

    the OP's problem started with updating to 2.3.6 only. This is obviously not hardware (USB) related. – ce4 Aug 21 '12 at 21:45
