If it connected before you didnt need to install the drivers. Uninstall them reboot PC, plug in phone wait for drivers to auto install (open folder to view files will pop up) unplug phone open odin put phone in download mode reconnect to PC and wait til COM port in odin turns yellow, click PDA slot in odin select .tar file, click start wait for PASS! Profit

Download Kies and see if it recognizes your phone. If it does, then the drivers you installed are incorrect or incompatible.

Without trying to sound snarky or anything, do yourself a favour and throw Kies in the bin.
Either use mass storage mode to copy media over manually, or use MTP mode with WMP to sync.
Good idea but remember samsung don't do ota upgrades and so kies becomes important...me too having the same issue
Thanks every body i found thr solution
I have to format the internal sdcard the conected in storage position
After dawnlod the driver descounect then conect in kies position

Did you try setting phone to the PTP mode which is like a camera just to transfer files? You could rename a tar to jpg

Are you using the factory cable? I was using a cheap Micousb and it wouldnt work. Pulled out the original plugged it in and connected to Kies instantly.

It should automatically prompt you to view internal and external sd cards on your pc. Are you rooted?

i have this problem on XP sometimes too, even with the drivers installed.
Try changing it from MTP to PTP. Let the computer find it again, then switch it back to MTP. Works for me every time

hi chrisram... it doesnt prompt me for anything. i installed the snapdragon toolkit. i got xp and when i go into windows explorer, i see files on the phone, but not on the sd card. i tried also to install samsung driver 1.4.6.0 and i get a "MTP was not installed" error. and on the phone i get a pop up saying that i need windows media player 10 or higher, which i have installed.
and to answer your question, i am not rooted. DO I HAVE TO BE ROOTED TO VIEW FILES ON THE SD CARD ON MY PC VIA USB? please help because i'm on the verge on stomping on this galaxy s3. thanks,
You don't need root to view files in your phone. Did you put an SD card in there?

hi cristianram.. i get an error that says: "there was a problem installing this hardware.. MTP. An error occurred during installation of the device. A service installation section in this INF is invalid."
i'm really tired of this phone.. i really feel like breaking it or throwing it away now.
Or like I already said.. Just use airdroid.

i seriously dont want to use airdroid.. i need to move heavy files and i dont want to spend years by my PC waiting for my phone to finish transferring files over the air.. i want to be able to see my sd card via usb.
thanks for the encouragement.. i know i'll get a solution with your help..
Fair enough. What if you do install windows media player 11 and see what that does?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Um the sdcard can only write at about say max 80Mbps sustained. WLAN will be fast enough at 40.. what is USB2.0?
Anyways if you are putting lots of files, leave them on external, and don't have to worry about copying again. No good reason to have then on sdcard vs external.
You can just copy to ext then use any file mgr program to copy it using the phone.

I use N so it's 100mbps and fast enough to not notice any difference. I'm guessing your problem is that XP is old as F. A simple solution is to just plug the sd card into your computer. But as it was pointed out the sd card is slower than wifi so it really doesn't matter.
Oh and I'd just like to point out you could have moved the files 10000 times by now. With airdroid you can move around the house while files are transferring. So you can relax and still use the phone instead of being tethered to the computer. And if you have splashtop you'd never even have to touch your PC.
Put Linux on a flash drive and use that?

Phone Detection

Everytime I plug in my phone I get this message about hardware ID not recognized. I have to reinstall usb drivers each time this happens..Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I running the synergy rom. Computer is Win7
it's a Windows issue. Samsung or Microsoft have the wrong drivers on Microsoft's servers.
You can try installing the KIES drivers for windows from Samsung's site. Personally, I just don't install Samsung drivers. Windows will install enough drivers that you can access the phone and SD card. You just won't have access for ADB. Here's a thread I did on it explaining the process: XDA linky

However it transfers god awfully slow and if the file is a ccertain size or will say it stopped copying.
For instance when I copy over Isi and cso format files, For the PSP emulator.
Which means I have to take out the SD card inserted into a card reader then put it into my computer then transfer the files and then put it back into my phone which is a nuisance

I don't doubt what you're saying. If you checked out the thread, it was a limited solution. But for most, it was good enough to move files back and forth fine. May not be the fastest, but it was faster than the plug and plug the USB cord, or uninstall and reinstall the Samssung or other drivers.
I've tried most of what other suggested, install previous samsung drivers while disconnected from the internet, installing KIES drivers through Samsungs site, and so forth. Some worked better, but all eventually failed fairly quickly; I think I got two days with the KIES drivers.
The biggest problem with the solution is the lack of ADB. Being able to use ADB with the GN2 may not be used often by some, but it's a life saver when used.
