[Q] Can't Install Drivers

Hello everyone. Yesterday I was trying to Odin the stock EL26 but my computer would not recognize my phone. I decided to uninstall and reinstall drivers, since my computer was not automatically installing them. However, when I try reinstalling, the Installer always freezes up. I've removed all traces of the Drivers on my computer that I know of, but I always still end up getting this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I proceed with the install anyways, and around 5 seconds after it starts installing, the window freezes up with this:
Anyone know how I can get the drivers on my computer?
Also, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. My computer is known to have USB problems where it doesn't detect everything either.

Where did you get the drivers? I got mine from sfhubs thread and no issues. Did you restart your comp after uninstall?

Used sfhubs (the same one I first used to install the drivers when I got my phone) and that didn't work so I downloaded them directly from Samsung, which also didn't work. And yes, I restarted :/

Already did haha. The ADB Driver installs, but the main phone one always fails

Yes, 64 bit Windows 7 can be a *****.
Just out of curiosity have you tried creating a new windows profile and running everything from there?
Also, open device manager to see the progress of it initializing your drivers when you plug the phone in. I noticed it takes a while sometimes in Win7 64 bit to initialize all the adb drivers. You think it's done but it's still loading.

I don't remember exactly what I had to do but remember having a problem with this initially. Downloaded an alternate set of drivers from Samsung's site if I remember correctly and it worked. Haven't had issues since and I use this every time I push a new TAR through ODIN.
In this case device manager is your friend. Install the driver package first, turn USB debugging on and then plug into PC. That's the only other thing that I can recall on this issue. Hope this helps!

Had similar issues with my Asus G73, Kies was the problem, sometimes would not recognize phone, got worst and then laptop stop recognizing phone altogether. After several d/l attempts had to totally delete Kies and drivers and did a disc clean up on laptop, after was able to install drives , so far so good. No Kies installed, just drivers.

[Q] Need Help, PC not recognizing ET4G

I updated my wife's ET4G to ICS using sfhub's one click Odin method. The update has been terrible with the battery draining in about 3 hours. Android OS is running at about 90% and I can't figure out why. I am trying to downgrade back to EL29 and both are laptops are not recognizing the phone. This morning, it did make the connections and the drivers installed on my phone but it's still not recognizing USB storage. Anyone experience this and have a solution?

Anyone? Bump

ICS stock uses MTP instead of USB storage, also if you're using sfhub One-Click just put the phone in download mode and go at it with Odin.

As rovar said. You can just use sfhub's one click EL29 to go back to stock.
However, you can also use sfhub's Autoroot package to enable USB Mode in the extra options to change from MTP to USB storage mode.
A for battery there MUST be something running that is killing your battery. I've done more than a few stock rooted ff18's and though the battery consumption isn't as good as on gingerbread it's still nut that bad. Look for things that are synching continually. Or 4g and other network services that are 'continually' searching. Those will kill battery.
I've gotten over 12 hours with Agat's mildly themed ROM (and his kernels) with a few hours of screen time. With Blazer ROM I get even better!

Thanks. I was trying to use the one-click but while in download mode, i'd plug in phone and would get nothing in Odin. Gonna try again when I get home. Also will try to enable USB Storage too. Thanks!

6% left of battery, granted I've debloated it for the most part but have a few wifi dependant applications running. Reflashed yesterday so the phone is still setting on itself.

Try a different cable. Sometimes the cable gets borked.

Verify that you are using the right one click odin:

As someone mentioned get a GOOD usb cable - I've seen this cause many problems and waste tons of time; for me especially.
Make sure you grab the Samsung drivers from one of sfhub's posts (where you downloaded the One-click)
Make sure the phone is charged at least 50% before you start. Turn it off and let it charge for a while.
With you phone NOT connected to the PC start the One-click.
Then
Put your phone into download mode - Power on + Volume Down until first screen. Then click the Volume Up to confirm and go into Download mode.
Then attache you phone to the PC and it should show up on a COM port.
Then click start and your done with that part.
To change the storage mode from MTP to USB use sfhub's 'Autoroot' package. There is a section in options to do this. Read his posts thoroughly they are very well written and precise.
Good luck.

Can not connect phone to Win 7 pc

I rooted my phone and am on Modded I317_N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow Control rom, Now when I connect my phone to my PC it would pop up the following message

I don't think this happened because of my root or the Rom. Can't remember when It happened.
Do I received a phone with a defective USB port? It charges fine though. Should I go exchange it, and how many day do I have to do this?

Did you try to install anything like adb or android SDK or anything like that? Try completely uninstalling the driver, re foot the system, reinstall the driver, without plugging the phone in restart again and then plug it in and try again.

^^^THANKS!!!
I uninstalled the Android driver, rebooted, ran windows update, and rebooted. Plugged in my phone and all is normal again.

D/C > check USB debugging in setting > reconnect. Does the trick everytime for me

Samsungs website has the driver you need

I've usually got to turn off usb debugging and switch the connection type on the phone to camera mode from media which can be done from the notification menu when connected.

I still cant get it to work with Windows 7 64bit, I've uninstalled rebooted, installed, rebooted, connected phone, MTP installs then after a reboot I get Hardware ID missing. Very frustrating.

Could really use some ideas here, once I get it installed and the computer acknowledges (sees) the Note I can't copy files to it. Whenever I try Windows Explorer just crashes and restarts, every time. Getting very frustrated, Kies doesn't even work right what an abortion it is to begin with. I cant be taking my battery cover off every time I want to add media to my phone.
Any ideas?

I get the same thing, if I disconnect and reconnect the usb to the phone it eventually connects , but reinstalls the drivers every time. Sometimes I have to reconnect 8 or 10 times. Tried different cables as well.

tab 3 10.1 gt-p5210 only charging when is turned off and data not working

Hi, i have a tab 3 gt-p5210 of my girlfriend that has this weird problem, if i plug it when its turned on it wont charge or connect to a computer, its only charging when its turned off, and i cant connect it to my pc neither in normal or download mode, it says windows has detected an error with the device and couldnt recongnized...
i thought it was a usb problem and i replaced it(its a cable and its easy and cheap) but the problem its still there... i think it might be a software problem, but i cant change the firmware in any way because i cant connect it to kies or odin, anyone had this problem? i dont know what else to do
sorry for my english

Have you tried a factory reset (backup any apps, photos, music, etc first).

I did that when i replaced the usb cable, but still didnt worked

If you can copy files to the SD or Ext SD, then you might try rooting it. Then you could try a different ROM. I rooted mine following this thread but you would need to use Odin.
There are some threads in the General section about rooting without Odin...you might check those.
And you might uninstall/reinstall Samsung drivers on your PC to see if you can get a connection after that. You might have a bad USB port (not the cable, but the part in your Tab)

Can't connect to PC...

Anyone else have to jump through some kind of hoops to connect to PC? I can't get my PC to see the Mix 2 at all, for file transfer or anything.

Did you install the drivers? I remember doing that when I first connected.

Also,when connecting your Mix 2 to your PC via USB Cable,check the notification/pull-down bar & look for the USB menu ,select Transfer Files or Transfer Photos (PTP).
It may take a few tries when 1st using the Mix 2 (or any new phone) but,afterwards,your PC should have no problem "seeing" your phone.

Good suggestions, I had checked already. Thing is, the PC doesn't see it at all so no way to assign a driver. In other words, there is no device in device manager without a driver. As for the USB options, tried bouncing that around and no change for any of the options with and without USB debug enabled.
My S8+ is seen fine, but it is like the Mix 2 isn't even plugged in from the PC side. I even reinstalled Android Studio a d tried all again to no avail.
Only thing I can think of is to try to USB cable that it came with but that is at home and I am at the office. Damn I hate when phones don't have SD slot, grrr.

Thanks, may try that though from what I am seeing it won't work as Windows can't see the phone even as unrecognized hardware so no application would be able to either. Will try factory cable first, I think.

Sure enough, works with different cable.

Great,keep us posted w/your results. :good:

Hello, anyone. I have the same issue... different cables tested and drivers installed. I only see : "mi mix 2" on the PC but I cannot access storage and it is not recognized by Mi Suite ....

Sorry to say, i have same problem, it is not driver issue, it is just the phone with usb cannot be recognized as a plugged in devices, but i can see charging....
sorry to come with old posts, but this really sucks, maybe the chipset in the mix 2 or mix 2(s) is malfunction.

i got a related problem. i cannot "see" my phone in the windows explorer. but i installed drivers and can eject my Mi Mix 2s. but in the xiami suite it states: no device connected
