I want to root samsung a50 but when I bring the device to download mode to flash odin, Windows does not receive driver even though I have installed the latest samsung driver. Please help me. Thank you.
Latest enormous sun activity could interrupt transmission
But seriously: there is no magic in this
- try another USB cable
- try another USB port - avoid those at the front panel, stick to those connected directly to motherboard
I use laptop and desktop the results is the same, my laptop use windows 10, my desktop use windows 7. I use original cable of Samsung.
On my desktop i try both front panel and usb port on motherboard
Before you do anything turn on your phone and then connect with your computer. Open Samsung Switch and let install/reinstall drivers...

Hi guys, I'm obviously new here, but I did have a look and couldn't seem to find this answer anywhere else.
I'm trying to hook my HTC Desire to my PC, but every time I connect it via USB cable it says that device drivers are not found and that Windows cannot rectify the problem.
I've tried installing HTC Sync, but the PC won't even recognise that there's a phone or mass storage device hooked up, so it just stays at "disconnected".
I've selected the phone to appear as a mass storage device when I plug it int the PC (I even select this on the phone's display as I connect it via USB so the phone realises that it's being plugged into a PC).
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I've struggled with a problem like this before (though, a flash drive, not a phone).
There were two solutions that helped mi on two different occasions.
1) Removing all usb devices from the computer. Shut the computer down, take out the power cord and wait for 20-30 min to settle all capacitors. Then turn it on and plug the devices back in.
2) Put the device in the computer as Mass Storage. Go to device manager and see where is the device. Right click on it (should be unknown or stuff), choose update driver. If it doesn't find anything try updating windows with latest patches and try again.
3) I was solving a non-detectable usb webcam, but removing ALL usb devices from the device manager (Under USB choose device, delete, choose device, delete.) Then click Scan for changes on the top to refresh the devices and install the drivers of the usb root hubs, etc. This would probably fix the problem if the above fails.
---- edit ----
Quick note: if your keyboard/mouse are USB, you could hang without keyboard or mouse until you restart your computer, so keep in mind if you can detect them, delete them last
----/edit -----
If you still can't get it to work, please provide results from another computer (if it works there as mass storage), or better if you have some Linux Live CD you could try there if it gets recognised.
Where you try to plug usb cable into PC - front panel or rear? Because a lot of PCs have an issue with front panel usb. Try rear panel

Thanks to both of you for the swift replies
I actually figured I'd check this short fix before trying the more detailed ones and it seems like it was just a matter of plugging it into the rear usb!
I'm definitely putting this solution to my personal FAQ. Thanks, jankos.
HTC EVO won't mount as a drive
verified that issue was with the front USB port. I plugged my EvO in to a usb hub I had plugged into back usb port and it worked like it was supposed to.
I apologize if this isn't the proper forum.
I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 (The non LTE version) with T-Mobile. I have used the KIES 3 software to backup my phone.
I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (the M919 model) with T-Mobile.
First, I connected the phone to my Win7 64-bit Home Edition pc with the same Galaxy S3 USB cable. It charges, and I hear the "boo-beep" and Windows 7 says it's installing device software and then comes back and says "unknown device" installation failed. In Device Mangler, it shows up under USB controllers, for some reason as "unknown device".
Okay, so I reinstalled the Samsung USB drivers.
No go
I used the actual S4 cable that came with the phone.
No go.
I have done the debug USB mode. No go.
I have verified that the MTP protocol is used (vs. Camera) and that it's set to MTP+ADB
I've switched back and forth to camera vs. MTP
Windows seems to detect the USB signal in that it knows when it's plugged in and when it's not, but it seems to IMMEDIATELY (and I mean very very fast, like under 1 second) "find" it always as a USB controller -> Unknown Device
So, I've tried my laptop. windows 7 64-bit. Same thing.
I had a spare pc around, so I even reformatted the drive and put a fresh copy of windows 7 on it. Same thing.
I've manually installed the Samsung drivers (without KIES). Still no go.
So I guess my questions:
1) Is there some other method to verify USB port is working properly? (like can you connect it to something else and have it work)? I'm assuming it's good since not only does it charge, but it at least is attempted to connect with Windows 7
2) I've got 2 more cables ordered --official Samsung ones--just in case
3) Can you root and unroot a phone without USB? It seems they all require USB drivers, and ODIN to work. I ended up having to manually backup the S3 via GCloud or whatever to get my stuff transferred over.
Oh, I also have an SD card in the phone.
Yes, I tried unmount it, and even removing it, rebooting, etc. Still no go.
I am trying to find an XP machine to see if that works any better.
thank you.
i have posted my problem earlier in this thread below and havent get solution yet

Are you using two different cables in testing or are you just moving the charging cable from the adapter? I found uninstalling the windows usb driver and rebooting to reinstall may help detect the device. Some usb ports dont have 500ma output for charging or change to a different port if available. Changing the connection type on the usb status icon to reset and set the type of connection may trigger the usb driver to connect. I think for the most part your windows driver is failing to initiaize and detect your device. Trouble is getting it to reset cleanly and install properly.
Once the device becomes detected, you can perform the steps to restore your device in order to use a sim card.

Thanks for your response,
About the cable is fine to apply for any gadget, but won't work on my Galaxy Note. I have repaired it at unofficial service center and they said there is no problem with the cable nor the usb port
And still, they don't know yet where the trouble is.
is there any possibilities to fix my Galaxy Note in this case? Thank You

Does it connect in download mode? (maybe also try change MTP etc) Different mode uses different USB drivers etc. Have read sometimes a USB port seems to become disabled in one mode but will work in other.
Make sure your USB driver is good. Are you using the same drivers from some "dodgy" website if so uninstall and just allow Windows to find drivers or get from samsung.
You may be able to enter the USB service menu and change settings by entering *#0808# in dialer then select MTP (or maybe *#7284# & set to PDA)
But connector/power board may have a problem

Turn phone off. Remove battery & SIM (though I think it's probably the battery that does the trick). Reassemble & your USB may be back if it's none of the other things and it's not hardware .......:fingers-crossed:
(If it doesn't work 1st time do it again but only reassemble after a minute or two to be certain all power is drained from caps etc.)
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.
