Hello guys.
I have had a problem with my Samsung S4 mini.
When I connect it to the PC it just loads, it does not give me access to the internal memory.
I have tried to update the drivers but it does not appear in the device manager, I also have ADB devices active, I already used the command # * 0808 # and I activated the option but without success. Is there another alternative?
I want to go into recovery mode but I do not have any recovery manager.
I try with differents cable's and PC.

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.

Hello, before rooting it, you need to install Samsung KIES, because it conains the drivers for the mobile.
1. Install KIES
2. Install SOC
3. unmount your SD card
4. Plug your phone to pc, wait until the computer recognise your phone
5. Run SOC and click root button
6. follow the SOC instruction
7. Done.

Hey guys, I cannot put my galaxy mini to recovery mode or download mode. I tried everything on the world exists also the main method to push and hold home+power button but nothin happens. I set compatibility mode on win XP and started SOC as admin but also nothing could be done. I saw somewhere that some guy posted a tutorial for fixing recovery and download mode bug but its for galaxy i9000 so I dont want to do experiments with mini. My phone is locked to T-mobile Croatia, and running latest firmware gingerbread v2.3.6. Please help!
Hi,
I have rooted my phone with rootbox rom and i cannot seem to connect to pc using usb cable,I have tried everything (replacing cable,installed another rom liquidsmooth,updating drivers,troubleshooting with kies) nothing seems to work no matter what i do the windows still shows mtp driver installation failed.I would be very thankful if someone could help me out here,..Oh yeah and i am able to connect it to pc from recovery by mounting usb storage but not in normal mode
I had this issue with 3 different phones of my own. I ultimately had to remove the Samsung drivers and reinstall them. Do a google search for captivate drivers, you should find an xda post on this somewhere.

1. Change the USB cable.
2. Try connecting on another USB port on your PC.
3. What is the ROM version (hope both s4 minis were having same ROMs, when u tried). What is the version of Kies installed? Or you have Kies installed at all?
4. When you connect the phone, does your OS (if it's Windows) give a sound indication.
5. Be specific, is there no indication or does it show in your device manager as a "?"
Could he anything from a bad flash, bad cable, bad computer or bad port

I use the same cable and the same pc for rom installing(it is work normally), but it doesn't apear in my computer.
I had dame problem with my S3 which I bought from ebay. It turned out it was an imported assembled phone, without Samsung official warranty. I had to return the phone as the build was showing as modified and boot image was unofficial.

Maybe just install Samsung Kies, this will install also USB drivers.

You can use Odin to flash firmwares, Odin works fine.
But your storage (both sdcard) don't appear on the computer.
Is this right?

There might be two kinds of common to samsung phones issues
1 - phone connected not through genius cable - use one that came in box with device
2 - phone is not in mtp mode - in this case dial in STOCK dialer *#0808# , in appeared box select mtp+adb or if not works ptp+adb
There is also some rare occasions of not detecting device on WindowsXP but usually it is not the case

I know its an old topic, but might be useful to someone.
I had the same issue with my i9192. Restarts did not help. But battery removal did.
Hello
I upgraded to windows10 and now both my tablet (Note 10.1 2014) on lollipop and phone (note 3) on 4.4.2 does not connect to my laptop at all.
I've tried everything. There is no more options choice under storage menu anymore either on tablet or phone.
I've installed koush universal drivers, then tried samsung updated drivers. Nothing.
The drivers dont show up anywhere, when I connect either device via usb, nothing happens. Windows does not look for any drivers.
I also have samsung kies installed, and that also does not connect to either device.
Please Please help, as this is very important for my work.
thanks
