Ok, I've just upgraded to windows 7. I was pretty psyched about the whole thing, and my computer seems like a whole new machine, coming from XP 32 bit.
So one thing I'm attempting to get adb to work with my phone. Heres my first problem - right off the bat, my computer doesnt recognize my phone as anything but an unknown device. YES I'VE TRIED DEBUGGING, DISK DRIVE, ETC., but nothing works.
I go to device manager, all I see is unknown device. Ok fine. I download the adb files that allow you to download the Android 2.1 thing and usb drivers. Still nothing works. I go to device manager, try to update the drivers for said "unkown device" and i get a message "the drivers are the newest up to date" or something. I try downloading the 64-bit HTC Hero drivers, same thing. I download and install HTC Sync, same thing.
I get this message when I plug the phone in...
"USB Device not recognized
One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
So my question is, how do i get my computer to recognize my phone, even as storage device??

try uninstalling htc sync and using a different usb port. does that work?
And to address how to get it to recognize as a drive, when you plug it in you should be presented with options where you can make it a disk drive. Or pull down your notification bar and change the type.

On the phone yes, I can select a different type. On my computer, I just get that unknown device message.
And out of the blue I just tried a different USB port, and now it works as a storage device.
Did you restart the computer after installing the drivers? Sometimes mine gets a little goofy like that.

i had that issue with one of my usb ports too. i think sometimes a bank of usb ports are used as basically a usb hub, and the evo doesn't like that, from what i understand.
Reboot comp, reboot EVO. Connect 'em, and then go into Device Manager, uninstall the "unknown device" (EVO), and then have it scan for new devices. Now, when it says scanning for drivers (or something to that effect) look for an advanced or "skip checking Windows Update for drivers" option. Then navigate to the ADB drivers in the Android SDK and tell it to use those. Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on, and EVO's set for "Charging Only".
If that still doesn't work, then there's an incompatibility with your computer's USB controller and Win7.

If your computer is old enough, incompatibility is a possibility. See if there's other ports you can use, like on a different side of the case. Also, what brand computer?

stop! lol its fine. it works. i guess i should have stated that i've been on these forums for quite a while, and have flashed and rooted a few different phones using this computer, but with xp.
i just switched to windows 7, and of course lost all my drivers, and everything I had saved would have to be switched to 64-bit. I just couldnt get anything to work, but it seems to work now.
and I dont know what brand necessarily this computer is. i built it. I do have a dell keyboard though.
Hi.
Have Boostmobile Epic that came unrooted.
Downloaded drivers and phone shows in device manager under com ports.
Tried 11 USB cables then saw a video from qbking and bought a blackberry to use its cable making it 12 cables, none work.
Tried 2 computers with Vista and Win 7 x64.
Epic won't communicate with either comp with debugging on or off.
As i said in topic, one click root won't work. Says Phone is not connected.
I also cannot sideload content onto SD card because it does not show in My Computer.
It has been flashed to boost so i assume it has communicated with a PC in the past.
What can i do to fix this?
Reboot pc and phone then try again. If that doesn't work then uninstall drivers from pc then install again. Reboot pc after install after reboot plug in epic then wait for it to finish installing drivers then reboot both again then use odin.
You can also connect the phone with usb debugging on, then go into device manager on the computer and look for "other" or samsung android in USB section. Click on that and select update drivers and let windows update search and install drivers...it takes awhile.
just did the uninstall drivers then reboot both thing.
Driver installation shows device ready to use as...
SAMSUNG USB Composite Device
SAMSUNG Mobile Modem #2
SAMSUNG Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM) (COM5)
All ready to use.
But Still not showing in my computer for file transfer or working in usb debugging mode for root.

Try the update driver choice in device manager. The CDC driver is missing. I think it loads 5 drivers if I remember correctly with USB on...yeah the mass storage driver is missing too. Let Windows update find them all.

Hi, thanks for help.
Just tried uninstalling everything and letting windows find drivers. Windows found a different driver package from S3 studio or something but I still get no mass storage or root.
I've read you can root and install roms without a computer Guess that will have to be my route.
As far as mass storage goes... It's annoying but I pulled the back off and put SD card directly into computer
You are sliding down the pulldown on your epic screen and pushing mount sd card for mass storage right?

Yeah, the robot pic turns from green to orange but it never actually connects to either computer.
Going to my brothers house soon to check his 2 computers, he says his Thunderbolt will only work on one.

Some computers are finicky and will only work on the USB port used to install the drivers. Odin only works on the left side of my laptop and mass storage works on the right...go figure!
The fact that the phone thinks it connects and the computer probably makes the connection noise shows there is still a driver problem. Did you reboot the computer and phone after the full driver installation?
Yes I restarted both several times while installing/uninstalling
Drivers... I have just accepted that I need to remove the card to sideload content.
On a side note, I am now afraid to root my phone and change the roms because I'm on boostmobile and will be unable to connect phone to a computer to fix if something goes wrong.

after you install drivers, reboot, then plug in your phone w debugging on, it should install a bunch of drivers, then take forever on modem, unplug and replug the usb from the phone really fast, this should trip it up into moving to the next device... there should be at least two or three more. If you have GB loaded for some reason the RNDIS drivers are wonky. Make sure you use a USB port on your motherboard, not on a PCI, not on a front port... the drivers are acting weird lately, like they changed em up a bit... idunno... but once you get a setup, dont mess with it! Hope somethin helps... Its almost guaranteed the drivers, unless the Boost is the issue, idunno...
ive had that same problem ever sense ive got the phone, what if you havent given up there is another way for you to connect to your computer. It is very simple and fast it is how i connect now and it works every time.
1. Have computer on and Phone off
2. Boot your phone into ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 (Power/camera/volume down)(it must be this version of clockwork)
3. Go to mounts and storage
4. On the bottom of the menu you must click mount usb storage.
5. Plug your phone into the computer and your computer should recognize your phone now.
Also if your on Vista / Win7 you should run the command line (cmd) or the bat file to root with admin rights: Right click cmd or the run.bat and select run as administrator and that hould help.

hey guys.
just got a SGS3 for the wife and one for myself, coming from a long time with HTC Evos.
i'm having an embarassing situation...I don't see how to transfer files from or to the phone. I plug it in via usb, drivers installed automatically, computer told me the device was ready to be used...and nothing else. nothing popped up on the phone, nothing on my computer. the phones came with no software and Samsung's website does not list any drivers or software to download...
the phones are stock for now until I get a chance to root them this week or next weekend. in the meantime, what is the way a normal user is supposed to transfer files to/from this phone?!
I'm on Windows 7 on both the laptop and the PC, both have the same situation. with both phones...both fully stock but also updated with the latest software.
thanks for the help!

Weird...
it should pop up as a media device.
Plug it in and pull down the notification bar and touch where it says "touch for other USB options"
and make sure Media Device (MTP) is checked.
if it doesn pop up then either the drivers arent installed, or their not installed correctly.
or the cable is bad, or the USB port is bad.
or the devil is messing with you

make sure you have automatic updating on in windows, at least for the drivers. this is why i hate MTP, its such a pain in the ass. i sure hope someone gets mass storage mode goin in these soon. Make sure theres no unknown devices listed in the devices manager. then grab and install the drivers from here(although you shouldnt need them for mtp to work) http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SPH-L710MBBSPR#
downloading now...when I plug it in, the cell phone makes a little noise. but no prompts come up under my notifications.
on the PC I found it the phone shows up under Devices & Printers, but there is no way to interact with it other than to see it's drivers and that they all apparently are up to date and functioning correctly...
ahhhhhh

Does it show as a plain looking generic box or does it look like an MP3 player in devices and printers?
Generic box under an "Unspecified" category. Even after reinstalling the drivers...same situation. I can't double click to open the phone and there is no prompt on my phone.

This is crazy. I curse Samsung for this mtp ****t I swear. Under portable devices. Device name should be SPH-L710--thats what ur looking for. Will probly also be listed under modems as Samsung mobile usb modem. And in the usb devices as Samsung mobile usb composite device.another thought If you didn't already, turn on usb debugging and let it install those drivers as well. Has helped me in the past. Maybe even switchin it to download mode just so windows can see it in all modes and maybe wake the hell up.
i had usb debugging on originally, turned it off. no difference.
I went and bought a new memory card reader that supports SDXC cards, so now I can at least remove my memory card and transfer files...but still doesn't help me. I want to use that extra internal space I didn't have on my Evo 3D to add more music still to my phone...so I need to connect it to the PC somehow!

it blows my mind that its not working. what version of win 7 do you have? x86 or x64?
we have a laptop and a desktop, both running Windows 7 x64. we also have two of those Galaxy S3 phones. I'm running Go Launcher, my wife using the stock Wiz launcher. I have tried in different USB ports in both laptop and desktop, using different usb cables, and with both phones. with and without adb debugging enabled. same situation.
the phone shows up as a modem under device manager. under SAMSUNG Android Phone there is only SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface listed, nothing specific to this phone. I have tried changing the drivers around to different built-in samsung drivers and drivers from when I had the Galaxy Tab, nothing. I downloaded the latest drivers as they were linked above, nothing.
there are no pop-ups on either phone and nothing on the computer beyond the noise of something being plugged in...
w.t.f.
OK. Don't think its the issue but have run into this before with a Samsung phone or two. Reboot the computer and hold down f8 as its booting. When the advance menu comes up, hit *disable driver signature enforcement*. Like I said I don't think that's it but that has caused problems for me before (thanks microsoft) on x64 bit windows and a Samsung android phone so might as well rule it out.
O yeah, and just to make sure, you dont have kies installed right?
I do have Kies installed. someone now suggested I try using it to connect my phone. I open Kies, connect my phone, it says Connecting...and never goes anywhere. I did the connection troubleshooting thing, it took a while, said it was complete, plugged the phone back in, same situation.
jeez this is really stupid.
i disabled the driver enforcement option. nothing.
I rooted the phone now. installed that easy UMS apk and set the phone to MTP mode. now I have a Samsung MTP device on my device manager but none of the drivers work with it. windows couldn't find a driver, and i've tried 6 drivers manually and they all say they can't start the device.
anything else I can do now that i'm rooted?

kies is the devil
its actually the opposite. You DO NOT want it installed. Uninstall kies completely. Idk how I forgot about mentioning kies.nothing but problems. Nix it and I bet this headache ends. And if u take that advice, have the phone unpluged during then removal . I would also recommend reinstalling the Samsung drivers I linked to yesterday. Then plug the phone in and I would bet smooth sail in from there
will try. now the phone shows up the "connected as media device" notice when I plug it in, and the PC sees it as an MTP device...but still not letting me use it. lets hope uninstalling KIES helps.

Sounds like progress. I think uninstling kies will do the trick
well I uninstalled Kies, told it to uninstall any and all drivers for mobile phones. cleaned my registry. restarted my computer, installed the drivers fresh, plugged in the phone and it seems to work. for the first time it shows as a mtp device!
thanks a million. let's hope it works to transfer files.
Hey guys,
I've been wary to flash the ROM of my Nexus 7, as it actually boots into the normal OS and does everything fine.
The basic problem is that I can't transfer anything to and from the device over USB. USB debugging is on and I have tried PTP and MTP.
One of the solutions I have been looking at is bad drivers on Windows' part, and that is where I am currently blocked. If USB debugging is off, Windows refuses to acknowledge my tablet's existence. If debugging is on, some drivers from Microsoft automatically install and the tablet is labeled as "unknown device".
My USB controller is up to date with the correct drivers provided by ASUS for my motherboard (ASUS Z87-A). I recently re-installed Windows 7 to put it on a larger SSD, and with this same motherboard, it now does not detect correctly.
If I try to uninstall the "unkown device" it simply disappears until I unplug and replug in the tablet. If I try to manually direct it to the correct drivers, it tells me that the USB drivers are incompatible with my device. The USB drivers are the ones downloaded directly from Google.
I can still access the fastloader.
If you need more information, just let me know.

When you first got the device, did you go straight into fastboot without booting it and plugging it in while in Android? Does that question even make sense?

To the first quick-fix, the ADB drivers are installed, but they are not the drivers that are utilized when the Nexus 7 is plugged in. Like I said, it instantly installs some generic Microsoft drivers, and refuses to recognize the ABD drivers are compatible for the device.
As such I can't even begin with option 2.

With the device plugged in, go into device manager and find the device, uninstall that device, and make sure you check the box to uninstall the drivers from the system, then leaving the N7 plugged in to the PC, reboot the N7, as it comes up it should redetect, it's important to leave the device plugged in while it is rebooting.

You may want to make sure you are not using a hub or USB 3.0 port for this btw.
Put the device into in MTP mode with debugging on, unplug the device, then download these, unzip them somewhere, right click on the unknown device associated with your Nexux 7, click Update driver software, click "Browse my computer", navigate to where you saved the unzipped contents, and select usb_driver folder, let it do its thing, reboot your PC. Plug the device back in, preferably into a different USB port then what you have been using, it should then show up as a Google ADB driver (or similar), you can test it with the command: adb devices see if that works, if not, leave the device plugged in, and reboot the device.
Let me know if that works or not, and I will continue in a new post.

Ok, plugged directly into a USB 2.0 port at the back of my motherboard. Recognized as Unknown Device when plugged in, disappears completely when unplugged.
So, here's exactly what I did: Plugged in device -> clicked on "Update Driver software" -> unplugged device -> Browse my computer for driver software -> directed to correct location -> replies: "The best driver software for your device is already installed", and it is not using the ADB drivers.
Going into "Driver Details" tells me that there are no drivers that have been installed.

Don't unplug the device, do like this, put it in MTP/debug on, leave it plugged in, "Update Driver software" -> Browse my computer for driver software -> direct to correct location.
I know my method works, I've done it to that laptop, my htpc, and my gaming rig flawlessly.
You may have to use a tool to remove all instances of those drivers and reboot, Wugs toolkit has the app, let me see if I can find the direct download for the app or you can just download and install Wugs Toolkit.
Here is the app, but I'd still recommend you install Wugs NRT, as the kit has a walk-through telling you which device IDs to look for to remove. Here is the actual tool wugs uses: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html, but again, unless you know which ones to remove, you're better off using Wugs tool kit device drivers walkthrough built into NRT.

You may have to use a tool to remove all instances of those drivers and reboot, Wugs toolkit has the app, let me see if I can find the direct download for the app or you can just download and install Wugs Toolkit.
Here is the app, but I'd still recommend you install ], as the kit has a walk-through telling you which device IDs to look for to remove. Here is the actual tool wugs uses: , but again, unless you know which ones to remove, you're better off using Wugs tool kit device drivers walkthrough built into NRT.

Well, NRT is precisely where I started this whole thing.
Here is a picture detailing where the Nexus 7 is connected, and for reference, ALL the USB ports on my case, be it at the front or from the motherboard, are controlled by a hub: imgur.com/pP5ZbMv
Every other device's location is described as "Location 0" except for the Nexus 7 when it's connected.
Unfortunately at this point I'm probably just going to use Dropbox to transfer files when I need to.

I guess something is trashed in your system, maybe using a previous motherboard driver would work, dunno, sorry it didn't work out.

Well thank you very much anyway. I'm sorry I couldn't have been more clear initially.

No problem, maybe you'll work on it again and you'll figure it out. Also, you can use airdroid for transfer of files, I hear it works really well.

As regards the attaching of files, you have to have a minimum number of posts to be able to do that.
As regards the USB, be a little more specific like what you are trying to do, which ROM you are running, whether you are rooted, what happens when you connect the phone to PC etc which will enable the members to help you.
There could be several reasons for this, but lets start with the basics.
Have you tried a different cable?
Have you selected File Transfer (MTP) from usb options?

I get a windows sound like its connecting then in the bottom right where the time is next to that is a root sign then I get a pop up saying exactly.....The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. Recommendation.. Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, your device may not be working properly. When I go to the Device Manager/Control Panel it doesnt do anything. I've tried to add adb to the path but maybe added it to wrong path now it won't come on. If there is a work around maybe to re-add to right path. Device Manager was fine before I added adb and added path as per internet search. Device Manager before would say something like error 39. I've tried MTP that doesn't get it to open up either.

I cant even root for the life of me now, Im on 8.0, I'm trying to just root the phone and to start the computer has to recognize it I understand but it won't, with my Oneplus 2 was fine,(I'm thinking maybe phone doesnt have the drivers built in to the file system, you know when you plug in and turn on MTP it shows the drivers app for Windows?) the only thing it errors plugging in.

On my son's pc running windows 10, I didn't have any issues connecting my OP3 to it and viewing files, nor did I have to install any drivers, same for Windows 7.
Hook phone to pc via usb cable.
Pull down notification bar and select "File Transfer" from usb options or go to Settings and search USB and select USB Preferences > File Transfer.
Browse phone from Window's file manager.
If still having issues, you can try and install Oneplus USB drivers, reboot pc and see if the phone can be recognized.

For some reason it's working now don't know what the problem was or even if it was something I did. Either way it's fixed.

If you are running Win 10, you will have to disable driver signing before the correct drivers are installed. May be that was your issue.
