[Q] mtp device drivers question - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok last week i had to reflash via odin to stock due to ryanza oclf getting screwed up when i was trying to disable it. now when i plug my phone into my computer inkies mode it starts trying to install drivers.
i get this message:
Samsung Android USB Composite Device - Ready to use
Samsung Android USB modem - Ready to use
MTP Device - searching precofigured driver folders
and it just keeps trying too search until it asks me about manually finding the drivers. is there a way to fix this, because kies mini will not recognize my phone now?

bump, someone must know.

[Q] USB Device Not Recognized

So I was hoping some of you guys could help me out.
Recently my Vibrant started to give me trouble with my computer. But it's only my vibrant with my computer. I can connect to any other computer no problem. Any other device is easily recognized by my computer except the vibrant.
It started after using PDANET's tethering app. I was at one point tethering all the time putting my phone in usb debugging mode and running pdanet on my computer. Then I also started using the bluetooth tethering. Once I finally got internet at my new place i stopped using the tethering option. But then I realized when i tried to get files off my phone my computer wouldnt recognized my phone anymore.
The error I get is
USB Device Not Recognized.
One of the usb devices on this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognized it.
Usb Root Hub Unknown device.
Try Reconnecting the device if windows still does not recognized it replace the device.
In the device manager the properties of the "unknown device" says
Status: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I've tried the solution posted under here
USB Fix - Win7 x64 - USB Device not Recognized
and I've used both drivers from Samsung Kies and here
[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S
(Sorry can't post links apparently)
When I try to update the driver manually for the unknown device it says that it has already selected the best driver for the device. So i don't know if it really updated it.
Any Suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!

I have the same problem on my PC. I would plug in the phone and my mouse would stop working. No tethering app installed or anything.
Anyway, I just tried the ports on the back of the PC and those worked. Try a port closer to the MB
I've tried all my ports. It's still not recognized.
Check the cable and power source. Be sure cable is with good quality. I hade the same issue. I fixed it with original HTC cable and back panel USB from my deskop computer. Front USB of desktop computers often are not enough to power that consumption.
After updating to Froyo it started working again. Thanks though. I still have no clue what caused it.
Bumping to confirm, I found this thread after getting the same error. I had tried several of the USB ports on my computer but after reading this tried the 2 I hadn't yet, they both worked. Not sure why only those work now, but they do work.
Hope this helps someone.
I have a bricked galaxy s which doesn't do anything. Windows 7 reconizes an unknown device and it's not possible to install the samsung driver. Windows says that it allready has the right driver.
I can't seems to reincarnate my galaxy s. Only this small sign of live in windows 7.
It happened when I was flashing 2.3.5 and the connection went down just seconds after the start of flashing so I guess the bootloaders are corrupt.
Anyone any idea how to solve this one?
Vibrant UnBrickable Mod
The same thing is happening to my Vibrant. Tried Rooting and installing various ROMs and it is still "Not Recognized". Tried all ports on all PCs (4) and Laptops (1) and non of them work. espy1988, how did you upgrade to Froyo 2.2 if you could not connect to PC and Kies? This used to work without an issue.
Thanks

have u tried Odin back to stock using Odin or hemidal ?
I have the same problem now. I have had my Vibrant for over a year never with an issue. I have Odined it back to JFD dozens of times but now it will not recognize the usb device.
I have GB bootloaders, but never a problem before. When changing Roms I usually Odin back to JFD first and start clean.
My problem started with the phone getting stuck in landscape mode. I was running a 2.3.4 GB rom Sensation. I reflashed a few times but whenever a restored anything from Titanium it would revert back to landscape only. I decided to go back to a 2.2 rom and plugged in the phone to Odin and it was not recognized, also not as a mass storage device, no go. I used Samba to copy a 2.2 rom, Trigger, to the phone and flashed from there. The phone is good now except the computer still won't recognize it. I can use Samba to access the SDCard but I hate not being able to use Odin if things go south. Tried all usb ports and a new cable, no go. Really wierd.
Looking for suggestions......
If you're still under warranty claim it & send it.
Had same problem. There is no fix short of replacing USB port.
I found my problem. It was dirty/corroded usb port. I carefully cleaned it out (took a few times) and it's all functioning again. I also cleaned the contacts on my original usb cord and it is working again also.
I'm just now having this problem for the first time. I've tried all USB ports and cleaning the port on the phone with no luck so far. Can someone point me to the unbrickable mod mentioned early in this thread?

Have you tried installing the installing/re-installing the Samsung drivers (LINK), using another USB cable, or even another computer? I just want to make sure you've tried it all before attempting to do a hardware mod.
Anyhow, you can find a link to the unbrickable mod and other hardware mods in the "Official XDA Vibrant Bible Thread", under the "MODS/SCRIPTS" section (LINK).
Mine is the cable btw. My wife has a GSII and I was able to use her cable.

Make sure in windows update settings, search and auto download drivers is on. If that doesn't work, download and install google adb driver. You can google 'adb drivers' and find sources to download them. This should work. Please let me know if this help. if it doesn't, I can walk u thru downloading and installing samsung drivers manually.
I willl try the adb driver. Ill get back asap. But I did dl the specific Vibrant driver from Samsung support page. No luck there

Still nothing. Could it be a damaged usb?

What exactly are you trying to do?
- If ur just trying to root & flash you really don't need to connect to PC.
As far as the connect to PC issue. It could be a damaged USB port but unlikely. How is the setup of ur "USB settings"
- Mass storage(should be picked)
- Also toggle the USB debugging setting as well that might help. Good luck!

[Q] AGHHHH driver failure!!

AHHHHHHH this is driving me nuts! I just ditched by beloved (and now very slow) cappy for a new gt9100. Great. I'm runninw Windows 7 and I can't get it to automatically install the appropriate USB drivers - the process keeps failing. So i tried to find them online and install them manually but I can't seem to find them ANYWHERE. I can transfer files to and from my phone via usb when the phone is in "mass storage" mode, other than that, as I can't find or install the right drivers i cant use samsung kies or sideload wonder etc etc. Someone please help!

Please be more specific.
What error message is given when you try to install Kies?
Do you have an administrator account?
Which stepst did you exactly take to get the drivers installed?
1. Ok. Kies is installed fine though it will not connect to my phone via usb cable - it keeps telling me to put the phone into 'kies mode" and keeps doing so even when it is.
2. Also, when i connect the phone to the 'sideload wonder machine' it will not install apps on my phone and tells me "error: device not found" and before that it tels me to make sure i have installed the correct drivers.
3. Every time i plug my phone in via usb and its not in the mass storage mode windows automatically (re)installs (even thought it has done this on every previous occasion) the 'appropriate' drivers. Sometimes windows informs me that this has occured successfully, though next time I plug my phone it it starts the process all over again and tells me the installation ahs failed.
I do have administrator privelages and I've tried searching everywhere for the correct driveers to install but cant find any....I swear it was so much easier trying to find drivers and complete installations on my captivate.
Yeah, Kies is horrible and the driver installation can be a pain. But that windows tries to install them again and again is strange, I never heard of that problem before.
Sorry mate, but *I* don't know what's going on. Hopefully somebody else can be of more assistance. Sorry!
Go into settings/applications/development and untick usb debug mode.
Your phone is now in kies mode and upon inserting your usb lead it should say mtp connection instead of usb. Hope this helps

I have tried everything please help

Computer wont recognize my device anymore. I have downloaded every set of drivers from this forum, from the samsung website, I even tried downloading kies but it wouldnt recognize it either.
It worked before I did the following and now it doesnt.
First I rooted my phone with route 66 everything was going fine until I made the huge mistake (not knowing) and downloaded rom manager so that I could do a nandroid backup. Well as we all know now, you cant do that. So I got the deadly uellow verizon triangle saying unauthorized software bring it to the store. So I went through the xda forums and found the one that told me how to fix it. I used odin with the alternate restore and got it back up and running. So I wanted to go back and use adams one click unlock and root. I got everything downloaded and ready. I put my phone in developer mode and plugged it in. It starts trying to find the drivers and then it flips from debugger mode to media mode everytime. It starts seeing it as everything but a samsung phone. It says found camera and even cd rom but not the phone. I have read through everything and tried everything I could think of but I am at a loss. PLEASE HELP

Turn off your phone, connect to your computer with the USB cord and turn back on your phone. It should start the drivers and connect to your device.

I tried that, it is still not seeing it like it is supposed to. I was able to get Odin to recognize it so that I could flash the rooted stock again but I can't get Casual Jailbreak to work. I'm not sure if it is because the drivers or not but I am guessing it has something to do with it. Every time I plug it in, it starts searching for drivers and then always switches from usb debugging mode to media mode. The checkmark is still in usb debugging but I don't think it actually is. You can watch it go from device as installer to media.
Are you using the driver install app (zadig i think its called) to install the heimdall driver on top of "gadget serial". Looking at your other post it seems like a driver issue. One thing ive noticed is, if odin can see the device then heimdalll cant and vice/versa. So if odin can see it you have the wrong driver, if you are infact installing the heimdall driver my second question is, does windows xp x64 use driver sig enforcement like win7 x64 does? if so you probably need to disable it. Just throwing my $0.02 out there.
Are you using the official USB cable? I had an aftermarket cable that had worked for months, then decided to quit working. It works with other devices just not the Note2. Changed to my original cable and all is well.

Also try plugging it in to the PC and not through a hub/keyboard/monitor port

If it sees the device in the dumb verizon cd mode thing and ptp than it can see adb. Its not the cable. however i would try setting the usb debugging first than set it to camera mode. adb should still be able to pick it up
Thank you everyone for your help, I finally got the drivers working and the bootloader unlocked

How? Fixing to unlock my spanking new note also. I had the drivers issues late last night. When installing drivers through the Z app I never could get it to install Samsung usb drivers nor did I see serial gadget option. Running Windows Vista 64bit. I know I have Java.

[Q] Found Software Not Supported By Verizon

I know I am not the only person asking for help with this.... But as far as I've read I am the only person unable to fix it... I have download drivers, Kies, Odin, The Stock File. I have tried every method to recover my device without success. Why is Odin not locating my device when in Downloading mode even when all of the drivers are installed? I have attempted to fix this now on two computers.... I am loosing my mind. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
What os is your computers running?

USB debugging needs to be turned on for Odin to see phone.
"Software Not Supported By Verizon"
Normally appears when you first boot phone
When
You do not have phone unlocked while installing custom software.

I think you may be mistaken here. Download mode is seperate from the ROM if this was the case then many people would be screwed if they forgot to have debug on. Because at this point he can't get into the system to turn it in.
OP we need more info of what happening. Does your phone download drivers? Any errors? Does it beep or anything to say is hooked up.
Try this first. Make sure you're using the original cord, make sure you're plugged in at the back of computer not front, un install drivers and start over. Make sure you reboot after you reinstall the drivers. I've personally always let Windows find the drivers automatically and never had a problem.
