Samsung Galaxy S2 - Kies cannot connect S2

After spending hours of searching solution to fix this annoying issue, I come to this solution work for me.
I seldom download driver files from unknown source and this method looks good for me.

1) Unplug USB cable
2) Dial *#7284#
3) A PhoneUtil will launch and you will "UART" and "USB"
4) Although the "USB" shown "PDA" is selected, Please select "MODEM" and then select "PDA" mode again.
5) Plug the USB cable without exit PhoneUtil.
6) Samsung Kies software will launch and the device drivers will be installed.

7) After a while, the proper drivers will be installed and you will need to restart you computer.

8) Please note that I have upgrade the Kies to latest version and also the S2 to firmware 2.3.6.

How to blog using BB

Dear LG,
If you see carefully on the picture in my previous post. Then you know I am actually using email to blog. You just need to login to your blogger and go to "settings". Under settings, you will find "email & mobile". You just need to key in the secret word and note down the email address.
Whatever email you send to this secret email address will be automatically post to your blog. So don't let ppl know your email wo then it becomes disaster for you. Haha.
I believe any phone can blog this way as long as you have email capability.
Are you using digi or celcom? If you use celcom then you try to use mobile blogger. Let me know whether ok or not.
