Hello everybody,
I've a problem with my NOTE 2.
When I try to connect my NOTE 2 to my PC at work, the PC is not able to recognize it.
I think it's due to the MTP protocole.
I know that with my SGS1, it works.
Do you think that there is a possibilitie to install an app in order to transform the phone in USB Storage as an standard USB Stick? Or a program made by a developper.
It will be very helpfull for me if you find a solution.
If you want more informations, ask me.
Thanks

You need to start your "windows Installer" service before connecting your device
How to:
Make sure Windows is set to auto-update
connect your device with USB
From Device manager(right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage") Uninstall the Drivers
disconnect your USB device
Go to PC->Control Panel->Adminstrative Tools->Services
Start your "windows Installer" service
Connect your device with USB
keep the device connected until windows show Device Install Succefully(it can take a while, up to 10 minutes)
It should work well after that.

i got an S3.. and my computer has xp pro. i had to restore my computer recently from a saved image of my system. before i restored my computer, i was able to connect my S3 to it via USB with no problem. but after i restored it, i'm unable to.
i downloaded and installed the MTP driver, which got my computer to recognize my phone before i restore it. but now its not working and i dont see it listed in Device Manager. whats weird is that when i connect my S3 to my computer, the phone doesnt give any notifications that the phone is connected to USB like it used to before. and it also doesnt give me the 2 options of connecting by either MTP or Camera. all it does is charge my phone. how do i fix this?

Try a different USB cable. I had a similar problem and using another cable fixed it for me.

You also might get the pdanet usb driver and install that in your PC in order to get the usb to recognize an internet access via USB.
You should be able to download the USB driver from PDANet's website.
Just a "maybe" thought. Hope it helps!

Install kies if that doesn't do it then reflash the ROM
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.
Cheers!

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.
Other solution
Download this

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.
You gotta make sure you have the microsoft mtp update installed.
Pia I know.

In regards to your question. Yes It is odd....'Yes" I do have a storage category under System settings. I do see available space on internal and sd storage. BUT Nothing happens when I hit the menu button. Absolutely nothing

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.

Im having problems trying to transfer files from my pc to my tab. my pc wont recognise the tab as an MTP device, but in the usb setting it is checked to connect as MTP. my cable is fine and the usb on my computer is fine, the pc does "see" the tab because it comes up as a connected camera but refuses to connect as media device. anyone know what i should do ?
In lieu of a better answer: Kies air. It sucks but it works and I am unaware of other alternatives.

Are you using a custom ROM? I read that it has been a problem in some builds but is now fixed, so if you are using a CM11 ROM make sure you update it.

Have you checked The USB debugging mode under dev settings?
Hi, I am needing some help. I connect my A5 to my laptop but a pop up from Win10 says that doesn't recognize the usb device. And continue saying that the last usb device connected didn't work correctly and windows didn't recognize it.
I think this happened after installing ADB and some other things like ZX3 to try to unlock my A5 and then uninstalled them, so perhaps I deleted some drivers in the process.
Can you suggest any solution for me to try?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Try connecting your device and then deleting its drivers in the device manager. After that reconnect it and it should show up as normal. Let me know if it helped
No, already tried that. Same message. Thanks!
I tried another usb port on my laptop, and recognize the phone. I don´t know we after some cel phone configurations I lost connection and recognition.
I tried again the first port and touch some items in the developers option, set the MTP protocol and now it seems working.
I stil don´t understand what I have to do to establish a good connection for every time I need it.
Regards.
Hi all. I'm back because I stll have the same problem. Can't connect A5 to laptop. The message says that there is a bad descriptor. It is the 43 error code from window 10. I tried downloading lastest Samsung drivers that comes in an .exe file and installed them. But same error.
Even trying to update the error driver to the lastest samsung usb driver, window says it already has the latest drivers and do not installed them.
Every suggestion from searching in google tried. Don't know what else can I do!!!!
Thanks for your suggestions!!!!!

I was using an old usb type-A cable with a usb type-a to type-c adapter. I tried using the original Samsung cable and it worked!!!!
I can believe this was the problem!!!
Hope I can help another with this! Thanks to all for your support!!!
Hi, I continue finding problems to connect A5 with Laptop. After finding the original problem was the cable, I now use always the original cable.
The problem is that the phone doesn't appear in windows explorer unless I go to developer options and set the USB configuration from RNDIS (Ethernet USB) to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). After that, a pop-up appears asking for permission for data access. I have to agree with the pop up to see the phone in the laptop.
I think I have to change permissions to granted for ever the MTP. Am I right? Where do I have to set it?
Thanks in advance!!!!
New update!! I have just chat with Samsung. The told me to dial *#0808#. That access the USBSettings options. There I changed the default to MTP + ADB.
Now I no longer need to access the development options. It still appears the pop up, asking for permission, but for now I can live with that!!!

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.

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.

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.
