As the title states: Why does some computer fail to recognize the Universal via USB on bootloader mode?
I recently reformatted my computer, which I usually do once a year. After installing all my apps back and running windows update on my computer, I installed active sync. Performed a normal reset on my computer, attached my Universal and active sync worked.
Here comes the problem: I decided to roll back to my old AKU 2 QTEK ROM. Of course, I know how to use the Ma_Upgrade No ID file. The problem is my computer now fails to recognize my Universal no matter what I do on bootloader mode. To make it worst, I am now stuck at the bootloader mode with my computer not recognizing it. Any suggestions as to why my computer failed to recognize my Universal?
OK, I was able to get the ROM upgrade going again, by removing my SIM Card and 4GB SD Card. I'll post back if I was able to revive my Universal.
So it seems that my computer failed to recognize my Universal because either the SIM Card or SD Card is causing the conflict.
I had the same problem.... I have two computers one with Win Vista (with the same problem) and another with XP sp1. This computer recognize my pda in boot loader, doesn't matter if still SD card and SIM inside....
Sorry for my english and I didn't tell you a solution...
Hi,
i had the same (very annoying) problems but i always was able to get the Universal back into Windows Mobile.
It was very strange because i started the ROM update and than e.g. it did not go in the Bootloader but back in Windows Mobile so i started it again and than it stucked in the Bl. Hardreset and putting the device again into Bl did not help and i was already very annoyed. I tried to plug in and out the USB-cable but it was always telling me SERIAL and not USB and Windows showed this ****ing popup that one device is not recognized or something like that. I tried a trick to let the cable plugged in USB and than reset and it showed me USB but wheter MA_Upgrade (No ID of course) nor mtty were able to find the device. After several trys and resetting and resetting again i was able to bring it into USB but MA_Upgrade did not work.
The only way to bring back the device from the Bl is the method described in XDA-Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen)
The problem is that this method does work only half. I did the steps until the command "set 14 0" and started MA_Upgrade BUT it always told me that the device is not connected, it never worked. I was already frustrated so i did again the reset and what happend? It started back into Windows Mobile!
So what i think that after using the command set 14 0 AND running MA_Upgrade reactivated the start of Windows Mobile. I tried the steps very often because i tried to find a solution for the contacts between WM5 and AKU 3.2 or higher but the only way is to ActiveSync them. This really works and this is for sure the guaranteed way to get (at least my) the Universal back to Windows.
Btw for the people who are to lazy to use the search function:
The damn ROM upgrade does NOT work on Vista until now! Even not with the Windows Mobile Device Connection Center (or how it's called). I tried several steps on the RTM Vista but it never worked. Don't waste your time on it!
So far from my side, i hope these experience will help some people
I Got It To Work!!!
I was so worried. Wheeeeew! Anyway back to normal again. I got it to work.
My observation is: My computer failed to recognize my Universal because I was using Active Sync Version 4.5 Beta 2 to update my Universal. The solution is to completely uninstall active sync using the windows remove program under control panel, and manually deleting the active sync folder from the hard drive. I then installed Active Sync Version 4.1 and all was well again.
So my next question to all the guys/gals who had problems with upgrading their device because the computer FAILED to recognize their Universal via USB is: ARE YOU USING THE BETA VERSION OF ACTIVE SYNC?
Actually when you try to upgrade with SD card inserted - only then you will get this error - I spend so many hours of GOD prays for my Universal - and after that I just remove a SD card and everything is back to normal

What is the size of the SD Card you are using? Because when a 2 GB SD Card is inserted, it works just fine. But I experience the error with my 4 GB SD Card.
Unfortunately, i don't share the same luck with all of you.
I've already take out both SD and SIM and try thousand times with ActiVeSync 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 beta, softreset, hardreset, mtty'ing, but what i got? BIG ZERO.
So my pc always recognise my ppc as "Unknown Device" and there is no, even some slim chance, to get it to work.
Any idea for reviving my uni from black slumber of bootloader screen?
Any help would be appreciated.

use MTTY with "task 28 55aa", "set 14 0", "set 14 9, "set 14 10" and "set 14 20" as described. bootloader screen may be replaced with a blank one, boot it on bootloader mode by "Backlight+Power+Reset"
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Resets
now upgrade as usual, then If you stuck on the bootloader again after upgrading, try to upgrade the bootloader itself

Hi, yes you could be bang on in saying there is a problem with vista, my machine did that as well, I really thought I'd turned the phone into a brick, luckily I've got an xp machine that let me connect with the tools that everybody else is talking about here, the one I used was UNI_ExitBootloader.exe (from this site somewhere) which sends all the codes for you and it only worked from the xp machine, it totally failed on the vista machine.
Tried all suggestions, but no luck
So a failed upgrade has left my Uni stuck in bootloader mode saying "Serial" and "v1.00". When I plug the thing into my Windoze XP machine with Active Sync 4.5 one of three things happens seemingly at random:
1. My mouse stops working
2. It tells me that the USB device is malfunctioning and cannot be recognized
3. Nothing happens
In all cases the Uni still shows the same "Serial" message.
The Uni has no SD or SIM cards in it. I have tried hard resetting it. I've removed and reinstalled Active Sync. I've rebooted this windoze pile of crap about a thousand times.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Saline

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I have already tried the suggestions on that page (that's how I found this thread). As I mentioned above, the device has no similar nor SD in it.
Have you tried to reflash from SD card?
instructions on the link on my sig
Config: MacBook Pro, Leopard, Parallels, XP.
Have downloaded the new official norwegian ROM, start it in XP, get bootloaderscreen on Diamond, then this message on Mac:
"USB device you are trying to connect to the virtual machine is being used by another application. Close that application or unplug the device and plug it again. Then try to connect the device again."
Cant find any programs using USB at all, also tried clen startup.
On P3600 upgrading ROM on this config is no problem.
What do I do wrong?

Did you start up parallels before or after connecting your Diamond to your mac?
I'm on a 20" iMac,
I'm using bootcamp for XP and that works fine. I think your problem is that when you connect a usb device to your mac, Leopard loads it in a certain way. Maybe iSync or Missing Sync detects your device (check for the iSync logo in your toolbar). Try to disable iSync and check if Leopard mounts your MDA as a disk).
I'm not on my mac right now but i will check if i can find the problem when i get home.
New Bootloader solved the problem.
Thanks for answering.

Hi there, I have got a Tytn II flashed with two different builds of Android Roms
(forgot which build, for I temporary flashed back to WM)
My problem was, whenever I connect my Android Tytn II to my laptop with USB under debug mode, Windows just cannot install a driver for it.
I mean, it is detected, but can never find a driver for it, detects as unknown hardware.
I just wonder if its possible for the driver problem be solved or I just have to stick with this?
*If duplicated question with answer that I couldnt search out,
admin please feel free to lock mine and direct me to the right one. thanks

USB for Windows has been buggy for day 1, it works flawlessly under Linux. Unfortunately for Windows, it's very buggy and doesn't like our Kernel.
so, no luck for it under windows, is it? sosad.
two months have passed, maybe someone has sucessfully connected his kaiser to windows 7 through usb ?
have u install tried installing android drivers manually from androidSDK??
Good Evening folks,
I'm posting here after spending the better part of 2 days trying to figure out why this doesn't work.
So, i have the following:
model: GT-N7100
Version: 4.1.1
Build: JRo03C - ALJ1
I run a PC with windows 7 and also have a laptop with windows 8.
Now, initially i only wanted to root my device to install an addblocker on it and get rid of some bloatware. so i went and got samsung note2 toolkit here on XDA. (also tried others)
but no matter how i tried the pc (nor laptop) would see the note 2. it would plug in, it would charge... but windows ignored it otherwise.
i have tried al 8 of my USB ports on the desktop, and all 3 on the laptop. none of them work
3 different USB cables.
re-booted more then times then i can count.
i have manually installed the samsung drivers.
i have tried installing the windows MTP Porting kit
all to no avail.
So before i can even START to root... i need it to to play nice with my machines... anyone have ANY suggestions on what the hell is going on here.
If your main priority is to root then use exynos abuse

hi,
Thanks for that! found the APK file and got it on the phone through email and it's rooted, so my mission is accomplished...
but my problem still persists:
why oh why wont windows just play nice with the phone?
Did you install Kies on your PC? That program needs to be open when you connect your phone and then it will install the needed drivers.

Or install the drivers using the Note Toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
Does it show as an unknown device in windows under device manager?
I'm having the same issue but I have a suspicion that its the USB port on the phone itself as my gnex can use the same cable/USB port and show up as mtp.

My Note 2 N7100 is 'seen' by my windows 8 machine, but it doesnt seem to copy/ paste anything. Pops up with an error. The same happens on a Mac Lion machine. Installed the Android File Transfer app, but the moment I connect my phone, it pops up a message saying please restart your device so that it can be detected. I am tired of transferring individual files over AirDroid Any help?

What's the error message?
Happened to me before, un install kies on your pc reboot, download from Samsung website and install again, should work
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
first of all I forgot to mention that this should've been posted in Q&A section
for the problem try the following steps. after each one of them try connecting again. keep net disconnected while you follow the steps.
if it starts working then stop other wise continue.
1)use a diff comp, but you already did that , use a different cable, you didn't mention it
2)try uninstalling drivers via programs and features.
3)try installing drivers - preferably via mskip's toolkit
if you have windows 7, then directly install it
if you have windows 8, then first disable driver signature enforcement via this guide's last question.
4)try re installing windows. if you don't wanna do that then
open device manager
in view -> show hidden devices
delete each one that says samsung, note ii or note 2, android, google, adb, gt-n7100, n7100
this will ensure that you truly remove drivers
follow step 3) after this.
Hope I helped
All the usual and helpful ideas have been listed and you should definitely work thru those to make sure you are not missing something obvious but critical. I also use Win8 (64) and all was well with my Note2 showing up as an MTP device and wll working then one day, seemingly spontaneously, it suddenly didnt! When I would plug my Note2 in, Windows would give me a USB error telling me it could nto recognise the device! To cut a long story short, I tried my wife's S2 and IT appered fine as an MTP device happily enough, so that ruled out the cable, the port and the computer/OS.
I then tried my Note2 on my laptop, and once again it came up as USB error, so the problem was following the DEVICE around....
After a lot of googling, I tried on thing that fixed it instantly:
On the phone, go into Settings, Security and delete all the "Device Administrators" which in my case was just my Email app. That did delete my email account from my phone (contacts, email etc) but didnt matter as phone is just a dumb client to the mail server so no loss of any real data.
Once removed, I then plugged phone in and BOOM! MTP device happily appeared! I then went back in and just re-added my email account and re-activated Device Administrator when asked. Working ever since.
Not saying this is your problem, but it was an eye opener to me that the Device Administrator could 'lock out' the USB connection of the device....
Hope this helps.

I would also recommend checking your Windows Update log - especially if you have it set to automatic updates. After I installed the drivers off of the Samsung website, Windows Update tried to "Update" my drivers to an older version (I do manual Windows Updates). The first time it asked, I let it, and my phone couldn't connect anymore. Once I stopped that silliness I stopped having problems.
same problem usb not conecting with my pc windows7
all this is my same problem which I facing help me about how to slove this matter

I was having the same problem, but I was using a USB cord that I had from my old phone. Switched to the white one that came with my Note 2 and it started working.
Hi friends, I follow you every day and I love you!
I have a very big problem with my Note 10.1 2014 edition, that I can't solve. When I connect it to the computer (I tried 5 computers with different windows versions) it only charge the battery, but it's not recognised by kies or Odin. In Windows 8.1 it is shown as "unrecognised usb driver", in windows 7 too and it isn't seen at all in windows xp. I tried reinstalling kies, factory reset the tab, but without success. What can I do? I'm thinking about sending it in assistance.
Thank you and excuse me for my bad English!

When you plug in the tablet does it ask you (on the tablet screen) if you want to connect as a media device or charge only? Check your developer settings that you don't have debug mode set.
No, it doesnt ask anything...

Have you confirmed that you are NOT in USB debug mode?
Also make sure drivers are installed on computer. Sometimes it can take a few minutes to install drivers. When I first put mine on computer at work I had to manually install driver's.

Yes, i reinstalled drivers through kies application, but nothing
I have the same issue. I have been searching for a fix. I want to root but PC will not recognize it or pop up with anything, tablet only charges nothing else up on tablet. I have search and searched but nothing. I am also running windows 8.1.
*****
I have now tried a 2nd PC using all USB plugs. Installed Kies nothing, uninstalled and installed only driver still nothing. Clicked version 6 times on build number to get Developer options. I enabled USB debugging.
I am starting to get upset, I just want to Root for a few functions. It shouldn't be this difficult.
Anyone have any thoughts? It could be a simple thing we are over looking.
Change cable
Also try rebooting your PC .
My laptop stops finding USB devices after about 2 weeks.
Solved
I solved selling the tablet for 430$!
For those who are still having the problem, this solution worked for me on Windows 7.
I installed the first "Download" Link from here.
