make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer and then try going into the settings and in the top section that is wireless and networks press more, then USB utilities, and press connect storage to PC and then plug your phone into the computer. had about the same problem and came across that.

You can also try going into your device settings on your pc (samsung/modem) and resetting the driver it seems to get "stuck" sometimes.

+1 to this... its the new way to connect

I put this on my sd card (by taking the card out of the phone) and putting it in a card reader. I flashed the file from the stock recovery and this gave me custom recovery. Then I restored my previous backup. I was having the same issue and FB21 has too many bugs. I went back to gingerbread but kept fb21 modem.

You can actually get MTP working quite simply...

To use USB MTP you have to unmount SD Card first then plug in.

[Q] USB not recognised

Hi all,
I've read a lot of forums on what seems to be a pretty common issue, however, with each attempt at a fix the answer is still elusive.
the problem i'm experiencing is that when I connect my (unrooted) Galaxy S2 to my pc (running windows 7) the USB device is not recognised. The phone says that it is connected (USB Connect MTP-Connected), however, when I try to access my phone via Kies or explorer it is not there. I also get an error message saying that the 'device is not recognised'.
I've taken the following actions:
- Reinstalled a fresh version of Kies
- Reinstalled samsung drivers (once prompted by Kies)
- Tried at least 3 USB cables including the original Samsung cable
- As per one of the blogs i read, i switched to USB debugging on and then off as there was no effect
- I've tried turning on bluetooth, then connecting the USB device (also a 'fix' i've seen on another forum)
- I've restarted my phone a number of times
- Connected via different USB ports
- Restarted my PC
Could anyone please help me.
Thanks,
Rob

Uninstall all drivers, and Kies.
Restart the computer.
No go to device Manager under Human Interface Device/Universal Serial Bus controllers and see if there is that little yellow triangle there. If so click and uninstall any device with the aforementioned icon.
Now reset again.
Go to the Samsung website and download the drivers for the phone. Restart the computer yet again. Almost done.
Now attach your phone and it should be identified.
Go ahead and install Samsung Kies and you should be ok. I hope all this works.

I had a very similar issue with my last SII. One day it just simply would not be recognized by many computers using various USB cords including the OEM one. Windows always said something along the lines of " USB device not recognized, a device connected to this computer has malfunctioned." The computer would pick it up bit was listed as an unknown device in the device manager. Turns out it was a hardware failure so I had so get a warranty replacement

Not very helpful answers... you may have sorted this out already but...
One solution found on other threads that worked for me was this:
uninstall Kies
key in the dialer *#7284#
it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
Only change the USB setting.
Select PDA, if it already selected, select MODEM, don't hit "back", try reconnect, wait for windows to respond.
Unplug, then select PDA, try reconnect.

Try changing your usb cable. If that still doesnt help, try it on another pc. If still not, then send it to samsung for repair.

[SOLVED] Phone Not Recognized by Computer

Hello everyone. My E4GT is unable to connect my computer after I install the drivers. I tried reinstalling them, used different usb ports, and different cables to find out that it still wouldn't work. The weird think is when I connect my phone to another computer after installing the drivers, it works. I'm hoping that someone knows of a fix to this.
OS: Windows XP SP3 32-bit
Edit: I solved this problem. What the problem was that I was missing usb.inf in WINDOWS/INF . To get this file, I got it from the other computer. At the time of me doing this, my only goal was to fix my webcam because I was getting an error about a missing .inf file.

Is your computer a "company" computer? Friend of mine had the same issue due to security settings on the laptop.

Try downloading the kies , sp?, program for your PC, it installs Samsung drivers and may solve the issue

SP3 means Service Pack 3.
Kies did not solve my issue. Thanks for your help so far.

Looks like you tried different USB cables (hopefully NEW ones), and different ports too. Along with Kies.
Try going into device manager (check show hidden devices too!) and uninstall ANY Samsung drivers or software you have installed. And reboot.
Download and install the latest drivers for the Epic 4GT [ http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe ]
Reboot your system. Then try to connect again.
If you have some type of Antivirus/Antispyware application you may also want to try and temporarily disable it too. I've seen this happen before.

I'm pretty sure it is not my antivirus because the other computer has the exact same antivirus. Also, in Device Manager, I enabled hidden devices and I do not see any drivers that seem like they have to do with Samsung.

Cool, but did you uninstall, reboot and then reinstall? And did you also disable the AV just in case?

Uninstalling Kies right now. I will post after I reboot my computer.

I rebooted my computer, installed the drivers, and it still did not work. It's like my computer does not know how to use the drivers for my phone.

Wow not sure what else to try. If you've tried removing all drivers and re-installing them, using brand new USB cable(s), using different USB ports and disabling AV software and if it does connect and show up on other PCs yet it still wont show on one PC, then something is amiss with that machine.
When you're connecting your device you do have it on too right? I'm sure you do but just checking.
Did you install any ROM on this device already? There are some international versions that if installed on this device disable the USB port.
And does it show up on other machines just not this one?
If it shows up on other machines than it there is something amok with that PC.
If it doesn't then..
One last thing you might want to attempt is to download sfhub's One-click FF18 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 download the 'reset data' and extract the exe.
Make sure you phone is off and NOT attached to the PC.
Run the One-click application.
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode
Then Attach your phone via USB to the PC and see if it shows up on a COM Port (anyone is OK).
IF it does you can then at least flash the stock rooted FF18 and get the device to probably work correctly next time you plug it in after of course the entire Odin/Update finishes and your phone restarts.
Just reaching here but hope that helps.

This shows up on other computers but not this one. I did install CM9 onto my phone, but when I was on stock, this problem was still happening. This is most likely something with this PC. Thanks for you help.

Well then that's it. PC is the issue it won't show. Something is pooped.
Good luck.

Just to be clear, when someone says, 'try different usb ports' make sure you only use the ports on the motherboard and not the ones on the front of the case or door.
It's the difference between powered and un powered.
That one the threw me for a loop on my win7 when I usually use my laptop with xp.

Having problems with connecting phone to computer

Whenever I connect my phone to the computer to put music on it i get a error message saying "Hardware Id Missing Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device." Is there any way to fix this?

I believe, if you are on Windows, you can search for and download the Samsung drivers for your phone. You will have to choose 32 or 64 bit. Then it should show up as an extra storage device under the my computer program

Download kies, it will install the Samsung drivers. After installation connect your phone and let it connect. It'll take about 5 minutes then you'll be good to go.

Question about Kindle SD card

I tried finding the answer to my question on XDA & google, but sadly I couldn't find it.
When I plug up my cell phone, I click "Turn on USB storage" to transfer tiles to and from my phones SD card.
But with the Kindle, I can't do that. When I plug it up, it says "Connected as Media Device" & "Connected to low power charger".
When I go into 'My Compute' the Kindle is nowhere to be found, but my flash drive & phone display there as normal.
When I right click on My Computer, go into properties, click hardware, & click device manager, I see the Kindle there, along with Android Composite ADB Interface. So it appears that my computer detects it, but can't display the SD card content or even detects the SD card inside the Kindle... I've tried uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling the drivers, disabling them, enabling them, updating them, tried different USB cords & even did several factory resets but still nothing. Can anyone tell me whats going on and how to fix it?
Also, not sure if this matters, but I DO NOT have the USB cord that came with the Kindle Fire.
-Thanks

Bump
Really need to know why this isn't displaying .

Dunno. Honestly, I never could get the kindle to connect properly on the stock os (except with adb)
Have you tried pushing the files that way?
