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.

good to know.
Installed the tmobile samsung galaxy SII USB drivers , I am using windows vista and it does not recognize the phone. I tried another vista computer it still can not recognize it. I tried an XP computer, it still can not recognize the phone.
How do I fix this?
Tried using the USB utilities under settings --> wireless and network
Still no luck
any suggestions will be appreciated

since you install the drivers into multiple computers and tested them all... it might be your phone.
First can you give more detail on what happens when you plug your phone in? Does your computer make any sounds or searches anything?
ALSO Try installing kies.
if that doesn't work either... looks like you need a warranty exchange
Try using an oem Samsung usb to micro usb cable. I had this problem with my Samsung Galaxy Epic a while back. Everytime I used a generic cable lying around my computer would not recognize my phone. When I used a Samsung cable it worked. Your computer should automatically identify your phone using the right cable. If not re-install them and don't forget to restart your computer before attempting to connect to your computer again. Good luck.
I've had this problem too.
Initially I had kies installed and had to launch the program to access the two 'mounted' removable drives.
I assume the drives mount, but you can't access the drives?
If that's the case, look on the phone and pull down the status bar and check to see if it sees the USB connection. Select that, and allow it to connect as USB storage.
thanks guys for all the quick response.
The problem seem to fix itself. After removing and attaching the USB cable a number of times, the PC suddenly recognized the phone.
I don't know what fixed it.
Now, I can proceed to root my phone!

you probably didn't give it enough time for the pc to actually install the needed components.. it takes a good 5-10 mins for everything to finish installing
I'm faced with the same problem. Only different is, as soon as it shows connect to usb from the notification bar if goes away. I tried the usb tool in wireless but still wont work. I tried the samsung cable as well
know it sounds dumb, but have you rebooted lately? mine wouldnt recognize the sd card when plugged into comp....rebooted....all is well
I have no option for usb data transfer. Just MTP and PTP. When trying to drag and drop I get "Calculating the time required to copy the files". It copies nothing.
Airdroid, wifi explorer, kies doesnt transfer a damn thing.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
Make sure that your drivers have been installed properly, first off (I think this is a big problem for a lot of ppl). And on the phone, in Settings > Storage > Menu > Computer Connection > "Media device (MTP)" is checked. (I also believe unchecking "USB Debugging" in Developer options can help, too).
If your drivers are set up, you should get a prompt (assuming you're on Windows 7) to "open folder and view files" and you'll get an Explorer window. Just drag/drop files on the device.
You can also use a WiFi FTP transfer app (I wanna say AirDroid is a popular one?). Some prefer it this way.
How can you tell if the drivers have been installed properly?
I can drag and drop one file at a time but nothing more

Sounds like a possible issue with your setup. I just recently re-installed a fresh 32bit Windows 7 install on my MacBookPro, and without any driver tweaking or anything I was able to connect and drag/drop files back and forth.
I do have issues with my desktop and plan on wiping it.

MTP can be finnicky but there's no technical reason why it can't work just fine (as I said it works perfectly for me and others here).
Have you tried something like AirDroid (linked above)? Or if you're just sitting on WiFi you can always just upload to DropBox (Google Drive) and download on the phone/PC.
airdroid hasnt worked for me. I'm not positive but I think there are certain files that won't transfer via cloud.

Should be able to transfer anything. Don't see any restrictions to it.
Is your Kies properly Installed?
Hi,
If your Samsung Kies was properly installed (means took quite time for installing Driver for Samsung devices). Your phone should be detected once connected via USB cable. Some devices may have different situations. Exp. file transfer in SamsungGalaxyTab10.1 will not display exact time for file transfer Window. Once device connected via USB cable, and Your device's Name Pops Up in your window, means it's successful. Transfer shd not be problem.
Sometimes, Phone may not the cause, perhaps ur Pc/laptop might limited capability for Kies Support.
If your case is different, perhaps you can uninstalled and reinstalled it in control panel. Uninstalling Kies will not remove ur Phone's Driver data. Hope this Helps.
Sincerely,
whitefang
**** takes forever to transfer via usb. is this a known issue on the nexus or just me? I have never had a phone with issues in transfering data. I'll give a clous service a try again. I appreciate your help

It's a known "issue" that people have really funky PC setups and have issues installing drivers. It's not inherently a technological problem with MTP or the Galaxy Nexus. As I said before, it's just a bit more finnicky than USB Mass Storage (UMS), which is used on most other phones.
I'll keep referring to the fact that on a bare Windows 7 install, with no previously installed drivers, I was able to plug in my Galaxy Nexus, auto-install drivers, and xfer files back/forth without a hiccup... that'll give you an idea for where the problem lies

Like martonikaj said, you should be able to transfer everything wirelessly. It's probably your fastest bet.
I either do that, or use ADB. While it's not as fast, I find it to be more stable than MTP (but that could be just me).
I assume download files as a zip and then open them on the pc? I assume all I would have to transfer would be titanium backup since it contains all app and system data. I know some of my questions might seem silly but i want to make sure i dont loose any data.
I've tried downloading the samsung drivers on 3 different pc with 3 different operating systems and cant get the drivers to properly load. I'm a little upset with Samsung at the moment. I never had a problem wit HTC or Moto phones.
you can use Alt Mounter app on mac & windows
go to goole & search it
then download AltMounter.apk & install it to your phone
then download altmounter for windows & install it to your pc
after that run altmounter in your pc & also run altmounter in your phone
after that plug the usb cable . the phone storage shows up in a window
this is verys simple & i like it
you can use it if you have problems with MTP
I'll give it a shot, thanks!
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

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.

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.

I have installed the Samsung usb drivers several times. Even tried the latest drivers. My computer can see the phone just fine until I put it into Download Mode and connect the usb cable. Then it sees nothing!
I have a dual boot Win 7 64 bit system, and I have installed the drivers on both partitions with the same results. I've rebooted the computer and the phone many times as well, but it does not work.

simple MTP is working well?
What is MTP? Does that mean mount the phone?
I can connect the phone to my computer anytime and see it just fine. I see the internal storage and also the SD card.
MTP - Media Transfer Protocol
That standard Phone to PC mode you can select after plugging it in.
Do you have USB debugging selected in the developer options menu?
Yes debugging is on. And I can normally transfer files. I've copied tons of music and a few movies.
I've found that these phones just don't get along well with some computers, and their usb connectivity is very inconsistent between phones. I have 2 GS3's and a Note 2. One my home laptop, one of the GS3's works fine, while the other will rarely even be recognized unless I swap the plug to another port a few times. After it's recognized, it frequently stalls on file transfers, and it crashed trying to update to JB. The Note 2 always is recognized, but similarly, large file transfers fail.
All three of these phones work flawlessly when connected to my work computer, using the same cable. I had a Focus that behaved similarly, so I think it's a Samsung issue. I've never had this problem with other brands.

By download mode I assume you are trying to flash something in ODIN, correct ? If yes, then make sure you are using the USB the phone came with. If you are not seeing a COM reading on ODIN, try a different USB port on the PC/Laptop. I know my USB 3.0 port always gives me problems with connectivity to bootloaders and such. Attached is a pic of what the phone looks like in download mode and what ODIN should show when it recognizes the phone. Hope this helps.

I finally did get it to work on a different computer. Yes, I was trying to root using the Toolkit, and when it got to ODIN it could not see the phone when it booted into download mode.
When the Toolkit did boot it into Download mode though, it did not show that small text in the upper/left corner on the phone screen. I could only get that text when I booted manually into Download mode. I'm not sure what the difference is....
So far, I have it rooted and am going to try and flash the NOTEorious Prime ROM. It says to backup my APNs first, which I did with APN Backup & Restore app. But it cannot restore them in JB 4.1. I read somewhere to tell Titanium Backup to make APN B&R a 'System App', which I did, but that still will not restore APNs. So, now I am wondering that if I installed the NOTEorious Prime ROM, will that 'let me' restore APNs? Or since it is JB it won't still..
Thanks for the reply BTW..
May be you can use the old fashioned way. ..use a pen and paper to write the apn and details somewhere and if you lose them on the rom. ..you can enter them manually

I still find MTP a less than optimal solution, coming from HTC devices which are recognized as external drives when connected.
Guys, Please remember that MTP is only applicable when the device is switched on. This is for internal "Virtual SdCard" and external Sd Card.
Download mode opens up the other storage on the device, "mmcblk0p*" for flashing reasons with Odin.
