After rooting the phone (in this case to leedroid) I have been having trouble with 2 xp machines at work.
Both detect the phone as "unknown device".
Doesnt matter what I select, charge only, sync, disk drive, adb usb debugging.
I have uninstalled / reinstalled htc drivers repeatedly.
Tried just using android sdk drivers.
I have deleted
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\Wdf01000.sys,
2. Remove: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Wdf
3. Remove: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wdf01000
I have also removed anything under Vid_0000&Pid_0000
Everytime I plug it in, windows detects it as unknown device. It wont let me update the drivers.
Help please!
what do you mean it prevents you from manually updating drivers? has it ever worked before? have you tried showing hidden devices via command line then removing the old device manually and then reconnecting it?
yep did all that hidden devices stuff too.
You wont believe this but I saw a post about someone using a thicker usb cable. I recently switched to using a retractable micro usb cable at work. I brought the original htc usb cable into work today, plugged it in xp detected the phone straight away!!!!!
who would have thought a cable was the problem!!?? All that wasted time!
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've searched google/xda and no one seems to address this very clearly.
I was having problems connecting my SGSIII via USB to my computer(s). Yes, I was using the cable that came with the phone. When trying to simply transfer files via USB (MTP or PTP) windows would not recognize the phone and a message saying "usb device has malfunctioned" popped up from the notification area of the taskbar. I had all of the drivers installed. I tried connecting the phone to my laptop (thinkpad) and desktop (homebuilt) computers, which were both win7 64bit. I tried every single USB port of each computer. Sometimes the device would show up in my computer, but I couldn't access any of the files. I was able to get odin to recognize my phone, however, and (foolishly) tried to flash a rom to my phone. Odin would fail every time at a different point in the process. I was stuck with a phone that would not bootup.
Then, I tried a computer (old dell, win XP) at work. I tried to flash the rom with Odin again. On the third attempt it worked! (after changing to a back (instead of the front) USB port) It was a big relief that I didn't brick my phone. Also, with this computer I could connect to my phone via MTP or PTP. I thought, therefore, that the problem was win7. So, I went back, installed win XP on my computer at home. This computer would still not play nice with the phone. (USB device malfunctioned error appeared again.) So, if you're having problems try a different computer. I had to try 3 before I found one that worked.
TL;DR: Try a different computer and different USB ports on that computer before you give up on connecting your phone to a computer via USB.
Finally, I NEVER had these problems with my HTC Hero, or HTC Evo. The phone would connect to ANY computer or ANY USB port. This was true for transferring files and for ADB also. With my S3 I'm transferring files by removing the SD card and connecting that to my computer. Kind of a pain in the ass. Thanks samsung.
The device acts as if it is being charged.
Steps I have taken so far:
-uninstalled T-mo Samsung mobile drivers and reinstalled
-deleted (uninstalled) ALL recognized USB devices via USB deview
-tried to connect without Samsung drivers installed and all USB devices uninstalled
-tried to connect with Samsung drivers installed and all USB devices uninstalled
-tried to connect without Samsung drivers and other devices installed
-tried to connect using safe mode, both with drivers installed and not
---**these are both trying with the current one provided on Samsung's site (1.5.14.0) and with the one found here on XDA from 25apr2013 (1.5.23.0)
-tried to connect using different USB ports
-tried to connect using a different USB port on a different USB controller altogether
The kicker:
Device is recognized instantly... on my laptop.
This means:
-It is not the USB cable I am using (even though I have tried 3 different cables altogether regardless, including the one that came with the phone)
-It is not the device itself
Possible: Windows issue? Last time this happened was long ago when I had gotten a MyTouch 3G Slide. I eventually just reinstalled Windows since I had been meaning to then. I don't want to do it now though because I have too many things installed on here to start a fresh install... but I suppose if nothing else works, that's what I'll have to do.
Before that though, I would love to hear any other suggestions from anyone here.
Some time the fault cud be the cable itself... I had same issue months ago my original samsung UsB cables didn't worked... It olwyz show the msg UsB not recognized... Then I tried with a different UsB cable (i had a Nokia UsB cable) and it worked...
Try it...
Cheers!!!

As stated, I have tried to use two other USB cables aside from just the one that came in the package.
Since all cables work on the laptop, but not this computer, I have pretty much singled it out to be a windows or a driver issue. :\
What are the specs of your desktop and the specs of your laptop? You claim it is a windows issue so I assume your laptop (that recognizes the phone) is not windows? Do you have Kies on the PC? If so, try to uninstall it completely and then install the individual drivers. Also, maybe just try updating Kies. You wouldn't need to install it, just download to your PC should work. As far as that goes, does Kies recognize the phone when plugged in at all? Does ODIN recognize the phone when plugged in? Maybe some of this will help you to find out if it is a driver issue or not. Good luck.

PC is i7 920, 12GB DDR3, Intel x58
Laptop is i5 2430M, 6GB DDR3, Sandy Bridge
Both are Win7 Pro, neither have Kies (I always just downloaded the drivers themselves) but I'm downloading it now to give it a try. As of now, nothing recognizes the phone on PC.
Kies method didn't work either
I did "Troubleshoot connection error", which I guess reinstalled the driver, but it still didn't work.
Getting ready to dig out that Win7 Pro CD at this point... :\

Samsung Kies isn't yet compatible with the sgh-m919. Samsung rep told me soon last night
Have you unlocked developer options yet and checked usb debugging? That might be your problem....

Enabling dev options and USB debugging was the first thing I did once I turned on the phone. Tried it both with and without, still not recognized either way. Still recognized on laptop.
I've also reinstalled windows altogether, since that fixed my issue last time around, but it's no good this time still. Clean install, formatted. No good. Previous steps from first post also taken, still no good. Tried the PDAnet method as well, no good.
At this point I am wondering if it might be an x58 issue, which would really suck, but it's the only thing I can think of given all the steps I have taken.
Okay... so what's the trick on getting Windows 7 x64 to recognize this device in Download Mode?
I have enabled USB Debugging. Tried several different ports on my Maximus V Extreme motherboard. I have tried using the PDANet drivers. Nothing works.Windows will prompt me with the "Device Driver software was not successfully installed" message. Anyone know a trick?
EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT. The last Android device I owned was the Galaxy S2. Now, back then it was understood that one should avoid Kies like the plague. However, in this case, it solved my problem. It installed all necessary drivers and I was able to communicate with ODIN. Cheers.

I might have pinpointed the issue!
I tried Kies again, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated. No go. I did Kies by air and got a connection! So It's gotta be something with the USB.
Although I thought it was weird, I think it might be an x58 issue, I decided to pursue that anyways.
I found out that USB issues are common with x58 (per this forum: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=159610 ) and will be trying a fix located here: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=442244&mpage=1
I'll report back once I try this out. Hopefully it fixes it.
If not, I just ordered another USB 3.0 controller (completely unrelated, it doesn't need to be USB 3.0, just a different controller altogether, but USB 3.0 is backwards compatible anyways. I just needed one for blackmagic) which was PCI-e x1 (still dependent on x58, so it wouldn't have mattered, check diagram on fix link), which I WAS going to install in my PCI-e x1 slot, but that would have not worked! Going to install in a PCI-e x16 and hope for the best.
I'll reply back once I test that out too.
Confirmed x58 and S4/general USB connectivity issues

In case anyone was wondering or stumbles upon this later, I have a few updates.
I got the USB controller today and plugged it into the PCI-e x16 slot, plugged in the S4 and it worked completely fine.
I also contacted EVGA about the issue and will get an RMA, so perhaps it's just a faulty unit. However, this seems rather common (refer to previous linked threads) in x58 chips.
I imagine it has something to do with power distribution with the controller, which is why upping the ICH voltage fixes it for some people. The USB controller is powered via 4pin, not dependent on Southbridge. I guess the S4 has higher voltage(?) requirements for it to be recognized. It seems rather strange since my other devices are still recognized, but well, that's what I managed to come up with.
Cheers.

Here's my craziness.
USB connection was working yesterday. Today, it is not.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the Samsung Windows drivers/Kies
I have even adjusted my southbridge voltage to 1.2V in my BIOS
Still, no joy.
Curiously, when I boot the phone into download/ODIN mode and connect it, ODIN recognizes the connection. Reboot back into normal mode, and no USB connection is recognized. It is not showing up in my Device Manager as an unrecognized device. It just doesn't know it is there (unless phone is in download mode).
UPDATE: Solved. I had installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261013). Reading back over the thread, it provided instructions for re-enabling the USB recognition of the phone. Had to re-enable the developer options and reset USB debugging. Makes sense now.
HI
I'm facing this issue today, I've tried two different laptops, both have Windows 7 x64 installed. I've tried every USB port on the two machines, I've tried with three different cables, I've downloaded and installed every USB driver there is. no use!
I'm out of options here and I can't think where to look further.
any help please?

很想帮你啊 可是英文水平比较拙计
ok so now I'm guessing it is not windows, I tried on another machine with Windows Vista and got the same error.
any thoughts, anyone?
Did a factory reset for the phone
no it works!
don't know why
I just picked up this phone a couple days ago and last night tried to get the USB to work with no luck. I've tried everything I can think of. It does work in PTP mode but not MTP mode. I was able to use odin to on it though, so I was able to root it.
I've tried both in linux and on windows xp. I've never had an issue with any phone on linux and have installed/removed drivers numerous times on XP.
Tried 3 different cables, Factory reset with and without USB installed, tried pretty much everything I could find while googling similar problems (removing old registry entries, installed media player, etc)
I have adb installed on my linux box and even with debugging enabled I can't even get adb to connect to the phone.
Definitely something strange going on. Maybe I'll switch to cm10.1 to see if that makes a difference
I cant get my computer (windows 7) to connect with the phone when the phone is on, and was hoping some one might have found a fix.
This might fix it...

Here's a link with a list of things to try what you may not have tried to fix your problems.
A small number of devices I have worked on have a weird thing, that the first time I plug the cable into the computer, it connects but won't show up on the screen. unplugging the USB cable from the machine for maybe 3 seconds, and reinserting makes the connection work... go figure! :>)
Aloha and Good Luck!

Hi
I would appreciate any input/help on this issue.
I bought the Korean Note 10 + 5g exynos (SM-N976N), specifically for the purposes of being able to root it. I would prefer to use the Magisk approach, because I would like to be able to use Google Pay, amongst others
Try as I might, I cannot get my PC to "see" the android phone. I have engaged developer mode, checked USB debugging, checked the the USB connection as MTP mode, and gone through several cables, going by the advice of "experts" I consulted. I even went as far as returning my original phone and buying a new one, again, on the advice of an "expert" who determined that my original phone was faulty (unlikely, since I had literally taken it out of the box and attempted the rooting before trying to load my multiple software). I am using Windows 10, 64k, with all current Microsoft updates.
I have reloaded the Samsung USB drivers, rebooted both the phone and PC several times, to no avail. When I connect, in download mode, the USB cable between the two devices, I hear the "ping" on the PC, indicating that the two have made contact, but then - nothing. I have established that the cable works fine, by connecting my Note 8 to the PC, where it shows up as a device with two drives (int and SD card)
I have installed Magisk on the 10+, and modified the stock ROM with Magisk, and then copied that over to the PC, as advised by the rooting solution; the problem is that I cannot use Odin to flash that modified ROM because Odin does not recognize any phone attached to it!
Help, Please!!
Could be the Odin version your using
Perhaps, I hadn't thought of that. I am using 3.13.1. Do you have a suggestion about using a more stable/useful one? My only issue with your answer is that it's not just Odin that isn't responding- it's the entire computer - it's as if the phone doesn't exist when connected.
I'm guessing you are using a USB 3.0 port on pc? If you have access to USB 2.0 try that....
Next thing I'd suggest (with note plugged in while in download mode)....go into device manager (right click This PC)
Find device under Modem, open properties Ports tab, Advanced Settings and manually change the port setting to a lower port assignment (preferably between 1 & 5). Reboot pc and just for kicks reset the phone into Download Mode again....Give odin a try now.
Hope one or a combination of these methods help.
