Hi, people!
I am a newbie here. Bu i urgently need your help.
I got myself a P1i off Ebay. l love the phone very much. But i think i messed it up or something like that. I have done a reset and did not know that some applications will be wiped. Up to here, no big deal. Then i wanted to reinstall a new firmware; then comes the problem. MY PHONE CAN'T CONNECT to my PC. (Or it does) But the PC says Not recognized USB device. Is it the same for my 2 PC and 2 Laptops (Xp and Vista). As a result, SEUS doesn't work. I have already tried everything i knew could help.
Arrghhh!!! What should i do?
Help Please!!!!!!!!!!

I use WinXP SP2 in my PC,and the connection is very amazing.
Don't you forgot to install the PC Suite to ur PC?It contains driver for Windows to recognize ur P1i.
Further more the PC Suite for P1i is very easy to use,and thru it you can do a lot things with ur P1i.

Can you connect your phone to SE Suite using BT? If it isn't working, you may have a problem with some registry entry. Try uninstalling PC Suite, clean up all registry entries and re-install the app.
Are you connecting the cable properly at both ends (PC and phone)? The P1i's cable connector at the bottom of the phone is known to be a bit moody. Check if the green LED indicator at the bottom of the phone lights up.
Try using a different USB port to see if that helps.
Do you have a firewall running on your system (Windows, CrapAfee, Norton, Kaspersky etc.)? You might want to check if they're blocking the connection.

Thx for replying,
my XP and Vista are SP3. Yes i have installed PC Suite for XP and for Vista.
Yes, i can connect to the PC thru BT (doesn't always work though). No, the green light under doesn't lighten up when i connect thru USB. I only hear the connection sound and the USB icon in the phone's screen showing the successful connection. Yet, no connection thru PC Suite nor SEUS.
I tried the thing with the firewall to not avail. i have connected the cables as they should be.
Can it be that the SP3 is the problem?

SEUS has its own drivers and doesn't need PCSuite to work. If you are having problems install the latest version of SEUS and follow the instructions to update the firmware on your P1. After the update you may have better luck connecting with PCSuite.

When you connect the usb are you selecting "phone" or "file transfer mode" on the phone? (done by tapping the usb icon on the taskbar). It must be in "phone mode" for SEUS or PC Suite to pick it up.
Other than that all i can suggest is to download the latest PC Suite from the SE site.
Let us know how it goes...

I once had a problem with mRouter not installing with PC Suite due to some leftovers of previous installation. PC Suite will not see your phone if mRouter is not seeing your device...and as makbil said, if you just want to use SEUS, you don't need PC Suite ... MPE 1.7 is better option, though you still need mRouter for MPE to connect with your phone...

Thank you all for your eagerness to help!
I've tried (without success) all the options you have suggested. Uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled newest version, restarted, changed cables and ports (both on my PCs & Notebooks). The drivers doesn't just load. Tried to update by searching automatically in the Net; No success.
Meanwhile, my gears recognize and synchronize our K800i (2 of them). I tried also with SEUS alone. It says to off the phone, extract and reinsert the battery, and to plug the cable while holding C; and that is it. After a while it says to start the process again. (Meaning it had no contact with the P1i).
Once plugged, i always choose phone mode. (Anyway file transfer mode doesn't also work). But i can still connect using BT.
I went out to one of my dude running XP, and there, his gear also says: " Unrecognized device". Now i am tired (slept too little) and going crazy
If that can help, here are some more SCs
