Does anyone know if the Galaxy S is supposed to transfer drivers when attached to a machine via usb? I've tried installing samsung usb drivers/multiple kies versions on both xp and windows 7 x86 machines however I've not once got the device installed. The first machine I tried it on did register the device Samsung_android had been attached however after factory resting it now appears as 'unkown. If it does install drivers, would it be possible to retrieve them from the galaxy s source? Would flashing the phone with a custom rom include the device drivers?
I would really appreciate any suggestions, I love the device but I've been trying to resolve this issue since I bought the phone
By default it uses Kies when you connect it via USB, go into options - About Phone - USB Settings and choose "ask me what to do" then you can choose MTP to mount it as a USB drive, choose it as a modem, etc. You need to go into the slide-down notifications menu and click on MTP mode then. For Mac's you need to enable USB debugging as well.
Thanks for your reply however I've tried connecting using each of the connection options. I am given the option to mount the internal SD card and lists 'MTP conneced' but the machine it's connected to still lists 'unkown device' within dev manager. I've also tried enabling USB debugging but even adb doesn't list the galaxy s.
Regardless of the device setting windows still displays 'device not recognized'. I've looked at the drivers within samsung\usb_driver but the folders are listed by development alias so its hard to determine which driver is for the i9000 I read on a forum that someone had this problem and Samsung replaced the drivers on the galaxy, I'm not sure if that's true or it was some other fix but if the galaxy does provide the machine with drivers maybe I can extract them and install directly to the machine
I don't have access to the NAND as I have not rooted it, but if you want I can do a directory listing of the internal SD and you can see what you are missing. I can then copy the files for you.

I like this community already, thanks mate but you don't have to go to the trouble. I returned the device to vodafone for a replacement. The replacement connected first time and I can now access the device without any problems
No doubt others will have this issues so...
Galaxy S "unknown Device" - If you have tried
Installing Samsung USB drivers for your operating system (There are both x86(32bit) and x64(64bit) versions of these drivers for windows.
Setting the Galaxy S to MTP on usb connect (Settings>About Phone>USB settings
Resetting your Galaxy S to factory settings (Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset)
Enabling usb debugging (Settings>Application>Development)
Formatting your internal SD card (Settings>SD Card..) Unmount before and re mount after formatting
Installing various versions of keis bloatware
and your Galaxy S is still listed as "unknown device" within windows device manager. Try taking it back to the store and asking for a replacement, this was the only step which worked for me and it worked first time Remember to explain all the steps you've taken and if you have to, ask for a demonstration of the device successfully connecting before you accept that there isn't an issue.
No worries, glad you are sorted now.

So I recently reformatted my computer and returned my phone back to stock. I now cannot ADB to it, I'm running Windows 7 64bit.
I've downloaded and installed the Java JDK, Android SDK, Samsung Drivers (32bit and 64bit) also tried drivers directly from Samsungs site.
Under device manager it shows they are installed correctly, my phone is in debugging mode as well. I don't have anything in my device manager that shows I'm missing a driver for any device.
One thing I have noticed... is in device manager I seem to remember seeing an "ADB..... something" or another.... I don't show that, but I do see my device listed, just not ADB in front of it.
Another odd thing is when I try to mount my SD card, windows doesn't pop up with a removable disk drive.
I'm going crazy... any suggestions?

When you say mount your SD card, I assume you mean from within your phone? In which case, your phone is not recognizing properly, and your SD card won't mount when the phone is connected by usb, correct?
Well, you claim that the software is set up properly on the computer and the phone so it should be ready to interface... Here's a few suggestions I can give from this point:
1. Try all your computer's usb ports
2. Uninstall and reinstall all Samsung software and Device Manager Drivers
3. Try a new usb cable
4. Try a different computer (to determine if the problem lies within the phone)
4-1. If a different computer has no luck, boot into download mode (1 + power) and try reflashing your phone if possible
Odin did the trick! Thank you good sir!
I have no option for usb data transfer. Just MTP and PTP. When trying to drag and drop I get "Calculating the time required to copy the files". It copies nothing.
Airdroid, wifi explorer, kies doesnt transfer a damn thing.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
Make sure that your drivers have been installed properly, first off (I think this is a big problem for a lot of ppl). And on the phone, in Settings > Storage > Menu > Computer Connection > "Media device (MTP)" is checked. (I also believe unchecking "USB Debugging" in Developer options can help, too).
If your drivers are set up, you should get a prompt (assuming you're on Windows 7) to "open folder and view files" and you'll get an Explorer window. Just drag/drop files on the device.
You can also use a WiFi FTP transfer app (I wanna say AirDroid is a popular one?). Some prefer it this way.
How can you tell if the drivers have been installed properly?
I can drag and drop one file at a time but nothing more

Sounds like a possible issue with your setup. I just recently re-installed a fresh 32bit Windows 7 install on my MacBookPro, and without any driver tweaking or anything I was able to connect and drag/drop files back and forth.
I do have issues with my desktop and plan on wiping it.

MTP can be finnicky but there's no technical reason why it can't work just fine (as I said it works perfectly for me and others here).
Have you tried something like AirDroid (linked above)? Or if you're just sitting on WiFi you can always just upload to DropBox (Google Drive) and download on the phone/PC.
airdroid hasnt worked for me. I'm not positive but I think there are certain files that won't transfer via cloud.

Should be able to transfer anything. Don't see any restrictions to it.
Is your Kies properly Installed?
Hi,
If your Samsung Kies was properly installed (means took quite time for installing Driver for Samsung devices). Your phone should be detected once connected via USB cable. Some devices may have different situations. Exp. file transfer in SamsungGalaxyTab10.1 will not display exact time for file transfer Window. Once device connected via USB cable, and Your device's Name Pops Up in your window, means it's successful. Transfer shd not be problem.
Sometimes, Phone may not the cause, perhaps ur Pc/laptop might limited capability for Kies Support.
If your case is different, perhaps you can uninstalled and reinstalled it in control panel. Uninstalling Kies will not remove ur Phone's Driver data. Hope this Helps.
Sincerely,
whitefang
**** takes forever to transfer via usb. is this a known issue on the nexus or just me? I have never had a phone with issues in transfering data. I'll give a clous service a try again. I appreciate your help

It's a known "issue" that people have really funky PC setups and have issues installing drivers. It's not inherently a technological problem with MTP or the Galaxy Nexus. As I said before, it's just a bit more finnicky than USB Mass Storage (UMS), which is used on most other phones.
I'll keep referring to the fact that on a bare Windows 7 install, with no previously installed drivers, I was able to plug in my Galaxy Nexus, auto-install drivers, and xfer files back/forth without a hiccup... that'll give you an idea for where the problem lies

Like martonikaj said, you should be able to transfer everything wirelessly. It's probably your fastest bet.
I either do that, or use ADB. While it's not as fast, I find it to be more stable than MTP (but that could be just me).
I assume download files as a zip and then open them on the pc? I assume all I would have to transfer would be titanium backup since it contains all app and system data. I know some of my questions might seem silly but i want to make sure i dont loose any data.
I've tried downloading the samsung drivers on 3 different pc with 3 different operating systems and cant get the drivers to properly load. I'm a little upset with Samsung at the moment. I never had a problem wit HTC or Moto phones.
you can use Alt Mounter app on mac & windows
go to goole & search it
then download AltMounter.apk & install it to your phone
then download altmounter for windows & install it to your pc
after that run altmounter in your pc & also run altmounter in your phone
after that plug the usb cable . the phone storage shows up in a window
this is verys simple & i like it
you can use it if you have problems with MTP
I'll give it a shot, thanks!
Hi all...I am new to XDA forum, but have been browsing in the trove of information to help with my problem. At the end I am resorting to posting a new thread to hopefully help me in resolving this problem or provide a good explanation why it does not work.
Problem: I am trying to use the USB cable to transfer files to my SD Card. (I am not sure what reason, but someone has informed me that either Samsung's proprietary software Kies does NOT work, you can only transfer using Samsung KIES Air...which is painfully slow.)
Now here is my situation:
1. I have a Bell Canada - Samsung Galaxy Note-2
2. The Phone has been unlocked and rooted (using Odin)
GOAL:
- I don't care if I need to transfer files to the SD card, and then sort the files out afterwards on the phone.
- Primary goal is to allow me to transfer files (music, mp3, etc.) via USB cable.
Your help is greatly appreciated...in providing some sort of clear cut instructions or directions.
Thank you in advance.

I know you didn't ask for this, but could you possibly use Airdroid? It has always been reliable for me and honestly it's my best solution for myself because we don't actually have UMS anymore, sigh.
Airdroid Vs. Kies Air
Thanks for the response and recommendation.
So is Airdroid? better or the same as Kies Air?

I've never used Kies so I can't say!
But basically, you download the app from google play and go to web.airdroid.com and you type in the code that you see in the app. From there you can read your phone's text messages and transfer files and do other things via your wifi connection. File transfer on my (good) wifi network is fairly fast (about the same as using a usb cord) and it's good for me because I personally use Ubuntu and Chrome OS, so the USB storage options don't work or don't work well.
usb driver
All you need is go to samsung website and install the usb driver. You should have an option to do this during the kies installation too.

Just in case, make sure that MTP is checked in USB computer connection.
*Settings>Storage> Menu button>USB computer connection> check Media device (MTP)*
I know it may seem obvious to some but it does get overlooked sometimes.

In regards to the downloading the 'Samsung Driver' I have already attempted that, and with no luck of cooperating. Under 'device Manager' in Window 7. The listed device when I plug-in the phone is "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with an exclamation mark. I have been trying to try the driver files so I can 'direct' the appropriate drivers file. But no luck locating it. The Samsung Kies installation mention that it has installed, but no luck.
MTP Option:
In regards to the MTP, I do not have that option available on my phone, the only thing avaliable is through the 'Developer option -> Checking/Unchecking USB debugging'
Please Help! :crying:
I have download the driver form the Samsung.com website.
Now, It doesn't technically allow to choose my specific phone model, with my carrier (BELL), so I went with the closest ATT.
I have located the folder with the USB driver, and force window to look through it.
But still windows says it cannot find the correct driver for my device....this is getting frustrating.

That is odd. Do you have a Storage category under System Settings? It should show you available space on internal and sd storage. What happens when you hit the menu button? (button to the left of the home button)
When you connect your USB cable, do you get a notification that says "Connected as a media device"?
Heres what you do.
Make sure you have current samsung usb drivers. Redownload just for fks sake.
Yeah idk wtf ms prob is but its got issues with samsung phones.
So ok drivers gtg?
Plug in phone
Wait for annoying pop up.
Leave phone pluged in and on restart computer.
You should get the all clear but first it may give you the cant recognize drivers thing give it a min should work.

Basically just keep going back and forth witj mtp and mount you should kick it in.
And you may need to restart computer.
Sgs3 easy wotks pretty good for me.

I'm sorry. That is my bad. It looks like those options are not available on the stock rom. I thought they were. The option is there on CM.
It looks like it is probably a driver issue. If your computer is not recognizing your device when it is plugged in, it could also be a bad USB cable. If you can try a different cable, see if something different happens when you plug in your phone.
Worst comes to worst, you may just have get a card reader and connect your sd card to your computer that way.
1. Is cable good? It may be sending incomplete signal. The fault could be your device's usb port or cable or pc usb port.
1a. test device with another known working usb cable
1b. test cable with another known working device
2. Is PC port good?
2a. Plug a different, known working USB device into port, do other devices work?
2b. Plug device into another usb port on PC, not into usb hub or front usb ports.
2c. Does it successfully connect for transfer with another PC?
3. Is driver good?
(This is most likely your problem, but a bad usb device, cable, or port can make it more difficult to troubleshoot. )
3a. Re-download driver. BUT BEFORE YOU DO...
use a different browser to download or delete your browser's cache. (Attempting to redownload may just be grabbing the already known poor copy.)
3b. Run Windows Update after driver is installed.
If still having problems.
Search for, download, and run the portable program usbdeview. Attached USB devices will be highlighted. See if it shows up to the system and what it is being recognized as.
It sounds like either a bad driver install or conflicting program/setting.
Turn off antivirus temporarily to rule that out.

Hi there.
I picked up a refurbed Incredible 2 (running 2.3.4) and am trying to get it to connect to PC so I can move files across between the PC and either internal memory and/or microSD cards. I'm having no luck on Windows 7.
I changed the Default Connection Type from Charge Only to Media Sync / Disk Drive / HTC Sync (after installing the HTC Sync software - NOT the HTC Sync Manager, which apparently only supports the newer phones) to no avail. I've tried them all, and they all have the same issue. I've done this both with and without USB debugging checked, and with "Unknown Sources" ("allow installation of non-Market apps") checked. I've also tried uninstalling Sync, installing Sync Manager, trying again (no change), and then reversing it (uninstalling Manager, and reinstalling Sync) - again, no change. Sync does not see the phone while connected and in "HTC Sync" mode via the Default Connection Type (or anything else).
When I plug the phone in to the PC the PC shows a "USB Device not recognized" and sometimes I will get a "Driver did not install successfully" message. Device Manager is showing one Unknown Device with a "!" issue under the USB controllers category I'm assuming is the problem. There is also nothing showing up under the Disk Drives category in my Device Manager other than my hard disk, even though some of the guides I'm looking at say I should have something related to the phone in there.
I've tried connecting it with 2 different USB cables, just in case the one that came with it was not fully functional. I've used the second cable for data transfer in the past, so it should work. No difference.
I've restarted several times, with and without the microSD card installed. I've tried unmounting and remounting the card as well, no difference.
Am I missing some kind of Win7 drivers for the Incredible 2 that are not installed automatically and/or with the HTC Sync install? I've seen some references and links to HTC drivers that are apparently not on the HTC site, but I am very leery of downloading an .EXE from a random website and just installing it to see if it works. I'd think if this was necessary, it would be on the HTC site.
Anyone know what gives here? I can't think of anything else to try.
Am I a complete newb here, or is this potentially an issue with the refurb'ed phone?
Thank you very much for any assistance!
I use the driver linked on the revolutionary.io site (http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe) and I have never had an issue.

Hi there.
I attempted this, but still no change. Do you know where this installs the drivers to, so I might try to manually point the Device Manager "Unknown Device" to them?
When I try to update the driver via Device Manager, however, it is telling me the following:
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
'Unknown Device'
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)"
Thank you for any further assistance or ideas.
Doesn't matter where you place them but you'll need to go to control panel/system/device manager find the device with the issue and select update driver.... Then it should be recognized

OP - do you have any other USB device drivers for other smartphone(s) installed on your PC? If so, uninstall all of them and reboot it clean.
Assumed that you are running VZW stock software - phone isn't rooted ?
Is your HTC Installer running this version - 3.0.0.007 - that's mine (have it running on W7 Pro and Ultimate on desktop & 2 laptop, no problems for me - I also have it running Win 8.
Uninstall HTC Installer & reboot - without connecting the phone. Turn off firewall & antivirus on your PC temporary, reconnect the phone & follow the prompts to reinstall HTC drivers. Once it's done, disconnect the phone & power down the computer.
Restart the PC and then reconnect the DI2 to it, hopefully - it will recognize the phone and allow you to connect & recognize the mSD card for data transfer, etc.
Please post any specific error messages as you see them. Good luck.
A common cause of "unrecognized USB device" is a bad cable. Try another. Or, try a different USB port on your PC.

Driver instal with WinXP
I went around with this problem after both my Win7 laptop and WinXP desktop both recognized my N7 2013 the first time I connected to them. I had no problem dragging and dropping files.
I had then returned the tab back to BB for a exchange for another. This time after setting up the tab and setting the MTP file toggle and USB settings correctly......The Win7 laptop worked find and recognized the N7 just like it did on the first tab. But now the WinXP desktop did not work and only saw the N7 as a ABD device.
You may already have the correct drivers (if not those are available here in several posts). You just have to direct windows driver update to the correct place for the MTP driver. Here is how i did it.
1. Open up the Device Manager on your PC and locate the Android device it sees. Select the update driver option and you get to the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" screen.
2. In this window it asks "Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?" Select the 3rd option ' No, not at this time"
3. In the next window "This wizard helps you install software for...." Select the 2nd option "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
4. In the "Please choose your search and installation options" window... go down to the bottom and select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" option.
5. Now finally the window we need..... "Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware" The "show compatible hardware" button should be selected...if not check that box. You should see 2 choices in the "Model" area..... Google Nexus ADB Interface" and what we need to select " MTP Device" click on the MTP Device and hit next......it should install and your Nexus 7 should then show up properly.
Hope this works for all that have had a hard time as I did....I just found it odd after getting a replacement N7 my XP desktop did not recognize it as it did to the original one I used the day prior.

Google Nexus ADB Interface" and what we need to select " MTP Device" click on the MTP Device and hit next......it should install and your Nexus 7 should then show up properly.
Hope this works for all that have had a hard time as I did....I just found it odd after getting a replacement N7 my XP desktop did not recognize it as it did to the original one I used the day prior.

If nothing else here has helped you solve this issue, check my thread, it should be of some help to you...
I'm having an issue where I can connect to my laptop in debug mode, but I'm not able to connect in the MTP mode with debug turned off. I expected to be able to mount the device storage in either mode.
Is that correct? If so, any ideas? I do notice I can't seem to get the MTP driver to stay in device manager.
