Extract Galaxy S device drivers?

Does anyone know if the Galaxy S is supposed to transfer drivers when attached to a machine via usb? I've tried installing samsung usb drivers/multiple kies versions on both xp and windows 7 x86 machines however I've not once got the device installed. The first machine I tried it on did register the device Samsung_android had been attached however after factory resting it now appears as 'unkown. If it does install drivers, would it be possible to retrieve them from the galaxy s source? Would flashing the phone with a custom rom include the device drivers?
I would really appreciate any suggestions, I love the device but I've been trying to resolve this issue since I bought the phone

By default it uses Kies when you connect it via USB, go into options - About Phone - USB Settings and choose "ask me what to do" then you can choose MTP to mount it as a USB drive, choose it as a modem, etc. You need to go into the slide-down notifications menu and click on MTP mode then. For Mac's you need to enable USB debugging as well.

Thanks for your reply however I've tried connecting using each of the connection options. I am given the option to mount the internal SD card and lists 'MTP conneced' but the machine it's connected to still lists 'unkown device' within dev manager. I've also tried enabling USB debugging but even adb doesn't list the galaxy s.
Regardless of the device setting windows still displays 'device not recognized'. I've looked at the drivers within samsung\usb_driver but the folders are listed by development alias so its hard to determine which driver is for the i9000 I read on a forum that someone had this problem and Samsung replaced the drivers on the galaxy, I'm not sure if that's true or it was some other fix but if the galaxy does provide the machine with drivers maybe I can extract them and install directly to the machine

I don't have access to the NAND as I have not rooted it, but if you want I can do a directory listing of the internal SD and you can see what you are missing. I can then copy the files for you.

I like this community already, thanks mate but you don't have to go to the trouble. I returned the device to vodafone for a replacement. The replacement connected first time and I can now access the device without any problems
No doubt others will have this issues so...
Galaxy S "unknown Device" - If you have tried
Installing Samsung USB drivers for your operating system (There are both x86(32bit) and x64(64bit) versions of these drivers for windows.
Setting the Galaxy S to MTP on usb connect (Settings>About Phone>USB settings
Resetting your Galaxy S to factory settings (Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset)
Enabling usb debugging (Settings>Application>Development)
Formatting your internal SD card (Settings>SD Card..) Unmount before and re mount after formatting
Installing various versions of keis bloatware
and your Galaxy S is still listed as "unknown device" within windows device manager. Try taking it back to the store and asking for a replacement, this was the only step which worked for me and it worked first time Remember to explain all the steps you've taken and if you have to, ask for a demonstration of the device successfully connecting before you accept that there isn't an issue.

No worries, glad you are sorted now.

[Q] Why is HTC Incredible only showing up as Mass Storage

I have tried several different guides to get my HTC Incredible to show up as an Android Device but all I ever get is Mass Storage.
I have edited the .inf driver file and went through several reboots.
I want to use adb while the device is booted up, I just got an invite to the App Inventor.
The guide they posted there was:
flexjunk com/2010/05/01/installing-htc-incredible-android-sd-drivers/
My phone is:
rooted: unrevoked3 (Fantastic job guys!)
s-off: unrevoked forever (WOW)
These entries are added in Device Manager when I connect my phone:
(2) HTC Android Phone USB Device (Disk Drives)
(1) HTC Android Phone USB Device (DVD/CD-ROM drives)
(2) Generic volume (Storage volumes)
(1) USB Mass Storage Device (Universal Serial Bus controllers)
I know that the answer has to be simple, but I am at a dead end. Can anyone help?

Did you turn USB Debugging on in the Applications menu?

Yes.
I can use my G1 with App Inventor. I don't know if the drivers are related or not.

I'm having the same issues!!

If I remember correctly you need to install HTC sync on your CP. Or maybe use USB Deview.

I have no idea what I did but it is working now. I made no other changes to my PC. I had installed HTC Sync last week and got no changes. I spend the weekend with my phone plugged up to my laptop, running a fresh install of Fedora, and I go back to the PC today and get it listed in ADB Devices. I really wish this post could be more informative to people who are experiencing the same problem but I can not duplicate the error.

[Q] Still Can't connect to Win7 PC (driver issues?)

Hi there.
I picked up a refurbed Incredible 2 (running 2.3.4) and am trying to get it to connect to PC so I can move files across between the PC and either internal memory and/or microSD cards. I'm having no luck on Windows 7.
I changed the Default Connection Type from Charge Only to Media Sync / Disk Drive / HTC Sync (after installing the HTC Sync software - NOT the HTC Sync Manager, which apparently only supports the newer phones) to no avail. I've tried them all, and they all have the same issue. I've done this both with and without USB debugging checked, and with "Unknown Sources" ("allow installation of non-Market apps") checked. I've also tried uninstalling Sync, installing Sync Manager, trying again (no change), and then reversing it (uninstalling Manager, and reinstalling Sync) - again, no change. Sync does not see the phone while connected and in "HTC Sync" mode via the Default Connection Type (or anything else).
When I plug the phone in to the PC the PC shows a "USB Device not recognized" and sometimes I will get a "Driver did not install successfully" message. Device Manager is showing one Unknown Device with a "!" issue under the USB controllers category I'm assuming is the problem. There is also nothing showing up under the Disk Drives category in my Device Manager other than my hard disk, even though some of the guides I'm looking at say I should have something related to the phone in there.
I've tried connecting it with 2 different USB cables, just in case the one that came with it was not fully functional. I've used the second cable for data transfer in the past, so it should work. No difference.
I've restarted several times, with and without the microSD card installed. I've tried unmounting and remounting the card as well, no difference.
Am I missing some kind of Win7 drivers for the Incredible 2 that are not installed automatically and/or with the HTC Sync install? I've seen some references and links to HTC drivers that are apparently not on the HTC site, but I am very leery of downloading an .EXE from a random website and just installing it to see if it works. I'd think if this was necessary, it would be on the HTC site.
Anyone know what gives here? I can't think of anything else to try.
Am I a complete newb here, or is this potentially an issue with the refurb'ed phone?
Thank you very much for any assistance!

I use the driver linked on the revolutionary.io site (http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe) and I have never had an issue.

update
Hi there.
I attempted this, but still no change. Do you know where this installs the drivers to, so I might try to manually point the Device Manager "Unknown Device" to them?
When I try to update the driver via Device Manager, however, it is telling me the following:
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
'Unknown Device'
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)"
Thank you for any further assistance or ideas.

Doesn't matter where you place them but you'll need to go to control panel/system/device manager find the device with the issue and select update driver.... Then it should be recognized

OP - do you have any other USB device drivers for other smartphone(s) installed on your PC? If so, uninstall all of them and reboot it clean.
Assumed that you are running VZW stock software - phone isn't rooted ?
Is your HTC Installer running this version - 3.0.0.007 - that's mine (have it running on W7 Pro and Ultimate on desktop & 2 laptop, no problems for me - I also have it running Win 8.
Uninstall HTC Installer & reboot - without connecting the phone. Turn off firewall & antivirus on your PC temporary, reconnect the phone & follow the prompts to reinstall HTC drivers. Once it's done, disconnect the phone & power down the computer.
Restart the PC and then reconnect the DI2 to it, hopefully - it will recognize the phone and allow you to connect & recognize the mSD card for data transfer, etc.
Please post any specific error messages as you see them. Good luck.

A common cause of "unrecognized USB device" is a bad cable. Try another. Or, try a different USB port on your PC.

[Q] Problem with the charging port

Hi all ! I am new here (sorry for my english by the way)
I tried to find something about my problem on many forums but I can't find anything ! I tought hère was the best place to find an answer to my question
I have an HTC one m8 with the Skydragon Lollipop ! I have this since like 2 months... My charging dock was perfect, but since abouth a month, I can charge my phone, but if I plug my HTC in the computer, the computer don't see it... The only way to sync things in my cellphone is to put my phone on Recovery mode !!
Do you know why ? Is there a way to fix this ?
Thanks

Try revoking the USB debugging authorizations* and accepting it again when the PC asked. Make sure the drivers are up to date as well(On the PC) , you might also want to try the generic drivers for Android device. Uninstall HTC drivers and HTC Sync, go to device manager and select Android MTP drivers. You could also try a different port, maybe it's a USB 3.0 issue, try a different cable if you have one(just in case).
* You can revoke USB debugging authorizations inside the developer options.
If you can access device through recovery then it can't necessarily be a usb port issue, seeing as it sees it there.

Thank you so much for the help !!

Cracked Zenfone 2 Screen, Want to Wipe NO ADB

I cracked the screen on my Zenfone 2 and before I send for RMA, I would like to wipe passwords and sensitive content. I've installed the Intel Android driver as explained in this forum, and attempted to connect via ABD to no avail. I'm not sure if I enabled USB debugging before the drop.
It still shows as a MTP in the device manager, whereas my rooted HTC M7vzw lists as an android device and is able to be seen by ABD. So, I'm trying to tshoot if it's an issue with the driver, or simply that I didn't enable the USB debugging.
I've searched the forum and found similar threads, but haven't found anything the directly addresses this problem. If there has been a link would be appreciated or any suggestions.
I'm running win8.1 and have the latest stock firmware installed on the phone. I've also tried multiple USB ports and cables.
Please help me not to buy another phone,
- Thanks

If the screen is still visible, I would use a USB mouse (using the OTG adapter) to enable USB debugging just in case it wasn't enabled. And if a popups appears when plugging in debugging mode, I guess your only choice is to use a bluetooth mouse to be able to check whatever dialog may appear at the same time you use the USB port to plug it to your PC

there are lot of ways,[if u get the 1st way below]
1. get an usb or wireless mouse,connect and do a factory reset
2. directly goto droidboot and use recovery,factory reset
3. connect to PC with fastboot mode and open cmd ,type
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
think these 3 ways are easiest
