I have a Samsung Epic and i rooted it to put the wifi tethering. Everything had worked fine and i decided to try some rom's out and try to upgrade to 2.2 before my provider decided to senf my the download. Anyways i tried to do some stuff with odin in that regaurd and it would never work. I came to find out that it was not reconizing my device on the computer. I have had the phone hooked up before after rooted and it worked fine and i was able to see my sd card and do everything. For some reason no computer will reconize my phone. It installs only three drivers and reconizes all of them, but they are named different then before. It seems that something has happened to the internal program of the phone were it is not sending the correct driver look up to the computer. I dont get the ADB interface driver install to even pop up and try to install. I took my buddys epic and hooked it up to the same computer and it did the proper driver recognition and installed fine as well as the adb driver. I mounted his sd card and it worked fine. I plugged my phone in to same computer it did a totally different 3 driver download all sucessfull put they had different driver names and there was no ADB driver reconized or attempted to install. The proper drivers are already on the computer and every epic will connect just fine except mine. I have done a factory reset and data wipe as well as my sd card wipe and it still does not connect to my computer. The drivers that keep installing when my phone is hooked up is modem cdma technology driver and usb device. Who ever has an epic will know that when you first plugged your phone in you got the name of the drivers as they were trying to install well for some reason mine now say ( unreconized device ) on the three drivers and then downloads them from microsoft and all say sucessfull. Unfortunately sucessfull is not the correct word cause without that adb interface driver loading i cannot mount my SD card. I have tried this on 4 computers with different operating systems and none will see the phone they all load these three wierd never seen driver descriptions and none enable the sd card to be mounted. I dont know what to do i cant take the phone back to sprint to have the factory origianl program put back on it with the correct drivers cause the phone is still rooted. Factory reset did not un root it and i cant connect the computeer to my phone to unroot it. Any advise would be great. thanks

Mods, if this belongs elsewhere, feel free to move it.
I read many many threads about people's problems with adb on the vibrant and while there were no individual threads that matched exactly, little pieces from many helped me in my situation; in case someone else experiences what I had, this is what I did to fix it.
Environment:
Win7 Professional N x64
Vibrant (SGH-T959:2.1-update1/ECLAIR/UVJI) (this was the leaked ROM mid Sept)
Samsung x64 drivers from TGA_Gunnman's thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929)
USB Debugging enabled
Problem:
I was able to get all the components of the phone recognized in device mgr & I was able to mount both the internal SD and my 8gb external SD cards, read & write to them with ease; I was even able to flash the leaked ROM via ODIN. I was NOT able to get adb to connect to my device.
C:\vibrant\adb devices
List of devices attached
T9596f3efa91 offline
I tried in recovery mode, no dice.
I had tried Droid Explorer, it was unable to find my device as well.
I had read somewhere that it was a driver problem, although dev mgr wasn't complaining and everything else appeared to be working just fine. One person noted they were able to use the Samsung Moment drivers from JuneFabric's website. I tried to install those drivers and was met with an error during the installation that said windows was unable to locate the file. Uninstalling, rebooting, reinstall (as many times as I had...) had no effect.
I grabbed USBDeview (thanks to masr1979's post in forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735534&highlight=masr1979) and uninstalled every android related driver. Rebooted and when prompted for the drivers, tried the moment drivers only to face the same "unable to locate file" error. I got fed up and tried going back to the drivers from TGA_Gunnman's thread which brought
me back to the start. Atleast I was able to mount my sd cards.
Solution:
Not satisifed with this, I went to Samsung's website and found drivers for XP/Vista... i can't for the life of me re-navigate to that download page, but I have uploaded the drivers here.
After running USBDeview to nuke everythign samsung/android related (again) and rebooting, I plugged my phone back in - pointed it to the extracted folder for the attached drivers, ignored the "unsigned drivers!" error for all three devices and re-tested DroidExplorer. SUCCESS! Droid Explorer found my phone and adb (console) also shows my device attached! Everything is golden.
Summary
Random-assed drivers found on Samsung's site for XP/Vista (attached) matched what my Vibrant wanted on Win7x64 in order to get data and debugging connectivity.
Thanks

Hello! I just rooted my Eris yesterday and when I plug my phone into my computer it doesn’t come up on my phone and ask me how I want to dock it (it is checked to ask on the phone itself) . When I first plugged it in and it tried to install the drivers it failed. Over at developer.android.com where I got and installed SDK it said to use pda.net to install drivers, which I did. So now my computer recognizes the phone and I can push apps over however the phone still will not give me the option to mount as a drive. Is there anyway I can make it mount so I can browse files in file explorer. Thank you in advance.
i'm assuming you are on a Windows PC...
firstly, are you able to mount as storage in Recovery?
also, not sure about the pdanet method (never used it)... but i know that if you install HTC Sync it should work fine (link below).

Sorry, yes. Windows Vista 32bit
To be honest, I'm not sure what I did but it works now. I plugged it into my laptop to charge and it wanted to mount with no problems. I Just tried it on my PC and it also worked. Even worked with the same usb cord I used last night so that rules out a cord problem
Thanks though. I didn't even think about trying it in recovery mode. If it happens again I will see where that gets me
Ever since i installed and used kies to connect to my device via usb (somehow i got a samsung driver before that, that connected my device perfectly) it has been absolutely useless. i'm sure i'm doing something wrong with kies, but i am so frustrated with it i just want to abandon it all together.
I just flashed CM7
at the moment i'm trying drivers I got here ( http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDo...i777-USB-Driver-for-AT-T-Download-135411.html ) But when i connect my device and open up explorer... explorer just looks like its trying to scan/search something (With progress bar over the filepath bar at the top) but I can never get into the device, it ends up crashing a bunch of crap on my PC, i get frustrated and just rip my device off the USB. this happened with the driver above and kies. i tried both.
Debugging usb is off.
ALL i want to do is connect my phone to my PC like a normal USB stick.
**EDIT** SORRY. wrong section. didnt realize till after. feel free to delete.
1) uninstall any samsung drivers you already have on your PC
2) reboot
3) install this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11721024/_P...vers/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
4) reboot
5) profit!
You dont need Kies - I dont have it and it works just fine.
Never used Kies in my life.
Also, this belongs in General until the Q&A section is created.

Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones... is this to be used for all Galaxy S II variants including Sprint and T-Mobile? Is it just a generic driver for all of their devices?

I believe it will work for any of the Samsung devices including sprint, tmobile, at&t SGS1 and SGS2
It's true that i had only but problems with kies, however if i use it with the WiFi it works fantastically...
And since most of the time I'm too lazy to plug my phone, i actually enjoy kies
I must be missing something, because when I plug the phone into Windows XP or Server 2008 R2, it mounts two drives, the internal storage and the MicroSDHC, as an E: and F: drive. No drivers needed.

you already have the drivers installed. Its impossible for anything to work without drivers.

The Samsung mobile drivers will allow you to eject/dismount (on the PC) the device all at once, without needing to do each volume one at a time.
I've never used Kies before. I really avoided it though. I also don't think I use the Samsung USB drivers, but instead the Google ones (Nexus S ones?). I didn't install any drivers since upgrading from my Captivate (CM7) so I assume I'm still using those. They've worked fine for Odin, mounting, etc. I'm also on CM7 again in my GS2 too.
Thread moved to General..not a Dev thread, but no need to delete either. Carry on.
Im so saaad! i think its all my fault.. i copied everything from my galaxy s2 storage over to my new xperia s.. and now it doesnt recognize the phone so i can transfer files..
what should i do ? please help!
btw the phone is just awesome! wauw!
I would also like to know how to properly mount the storage to a PC so that it is recognised as a Mass Storage Device rather than a MTP connection..?
Its so annoying not being able to see thumbnails of the pictures/videos you are trying to access..its also annoying that the PC has to spend time on downloading the files before playing rather than streaming straight from the storage.
Anyone have any ideas? plz..
Rather than starting a new thread I just used this one..thx in advance
When you connect the phone, on notification bar should say Internal storage connected. When you go to My Computer you should see Other section, where new device come up, called... Xperia S. Double click on it, so it goes to Internal storage. Again, double click and... you can see internal content. Hope it helps.
Same thing happened to me.... Today onwards time n again seeing a mtp driver failed issue when connecting to my win7 laptop. It wad working fine earlier. When I switch off n restart the device,it installs driver correctly and autoplay option comes up to open the xperia s device. However when I click on open folder, I dont see any folders in my xperia s phone. Hence no file transfer is possible. How can I get my phone working again?
I tried to do pc system restore... Since it was working yesterday...but that didnt solve the issue either. Any ideas?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Do you use different USB ports? Try to stick to only one. I still have XP and mine is always working, so this is definitely PC and windows issue.
I have a Win7 64bit Home Premium edition VAIO.
when I first got the phone, I could use it to connect to PC Companion. It would also show up as a storage device automatically, and using the same I had copied over music and pictures.
However, after 2 days of use, I noticed, my phone was no longer being identified as a device. Also, it gets a Code 10 - Device cannot be started error when I look into the driver details.
I tried to reinstall the MTP driver, but it never gets installed successfully. It always gives a driver failed to install error.code 10.
I can still connect my WD hard disk and other usb devices.
I saw somewhere in the Forum someone had described that I needed to uninstall and reinstall WMP to make this work. Didnt work
I downloaded the Windows DEK to ensure that all the drivers gets reinstalled, that didnt help either.
I also restored my laptop back to factory setting......still no luck with the fresh install.
So, here I am with a phone where I cant connect the device to move in OR out music/pictures etc.
The problems are:
1) MTP driver gives an error while installation. I tried to manually select the MTP USB driver and isntall it. That didnt work either.
2) When I connect SEUS, with the phone restarted by holding the volume button SEUS identifies the phone and shows me that there are no updates. Not sure if SEUS can be used for exploring the phone. Most probably NO.
3) PC companion tries to find the phone. It says it may take few minutes to identify the phone if it has lots of files. After that the operation fails suggesting that PC companion could not find the phone.
I restarted both the phone and my device several times......did not work.
I uninstalled the MTP and USB drivers and restarted and got them reinstalled........didn't work either.
Any idea on what needs to be done?
I have tried all the ports and a different USB cable as well.
I even tried changing settings of the usb port as described in the below link..
Nothing worked
Is it possible to get the Sony specific drivers from somewhere?
Hi has this problem been solved. I have two computers, the win 7 one installed fine but it refuses to work on the xp one.
any help?

I've got the same problem, but you can still use MyPhoneExplorer from
.fjsoft.at
to access your phones data. please also read the forum, because it needs an app on your phone too.
fjsoft.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11454
Also I've called with the xperia help line about a driver pack, but there aren't any lose available, exept what is in SEUS or PC Companion, but they don't work for me.
Can also some tell me if SEUS also will provide the new firmware 6.0.A.3.67? because SEUS tells me that my phone is uptodate, but I still have 6.0.A.3.62.
Install the latest version of media player, that worked for me.
Try connecting phone in Debug mode. On first time MTP driver installation will fail too but after that disconnect phone, disable Debug mode in phone and connect. Now it should working.
If will not working then go to Device manager on your PC, find "Mobile devices", select something with MTP in name, right click and choose "Uninstall". Disconnect phone, connect again and now it should working.
Worked for me!
Hurray! I fixed it on my computer WinXP sp3. I did everything with MTP bla bla winmedia11 even dev kit MTP = No fix.
go to Settings-> apps-> handle apps-> all-> MtpApp <open it.
Clear data and cache. (restart phone if you want)
plug the phone in USB and wait.. the scanner/camera thing comes up.
Right click on This computer (my computer?) chose "Handle" -> device manager -> scanners and printers-> right click on the "phone" -> settings -> device driver-> update.
Chose let windows search for XXX and voila MTP device driver found and installing.
(I'm using Swedish interface so the names of step might be wrong )
I can confirm that delete data / cache on MTP App indeed solved the problem. Thanks
Anyone else having a problem with tablet not showing up on computer after ICS. Updated the tablet with Allinone version 4 without any problem but now i need to shift some pictures onto the computer. When i plug in the tablet nothing happens on either the pc or the tablet. Ive used 2 different cables and used 2 different computers but nothing shows up. Debug is on. As far as im aware this has only happened after the ICS rooted update.
I thought that by transferring the pictures over to the sd card would at least sort that out but now i read and tried that external card is being read as "read only". So cant transfer the pictures to sd card and computer not recognising the tablet, now what?
Any advise?

Your computer not recognizing your tablet sounds like an ADB driver problem, so you may have to reinstall the drivers. Condi's AIO Tweaks and Mods submenu items 12 and 11 will solve your problems with sdcard and sdcard2 write permissions and USB Mass Storage support so your computer can access your tablet's memory. Searching the forum about these problems will provide you with additional information on how to deal with them as they have been discussed several times.
Thanks for the reply. Its been so long since i initially setup the tablet. Correct me if I am wrong but when the tablet is connected to the computer the tablet should show up as sony s tablet, is that when the drivers need to be installed. Ive a shocking memory. Im starting to panic as ive documents that I have done in collage. Without the sd card transfering data to extenal in knackered.
So, if I plug the tablet in and NOTHING shows up either on tablet or pc, does that mean that the drivers need to be reinstalled?

Reinstalling the drivers is what other people have had to do to solve the problem you seem to have. For example, read this thread: ADB Issues after ICS update?
Thanks for your time and effort. I have seen this post when i was searchings for answers. Problem is that NOTHING happens when i plug the sony into the computer. Tablet does not acknowledge that debugging is available through the usb even though it is ticked on the tablet. The computer shows nothing either as the tablet has not got into communicating through usb. So to uninstall the drivers will be impossible until the pc recognises the tablet.

The computer is probably not recognizing or listing the tablet because the device drivers are borked. In Microsoft Windows, you can uninstall unlisted (unrecognized) devices by going into Device Manager, selecting "View" from the standard menu, selecting "Show hidden devices" (which should cause unlisted/unrecognized device names to be listed), then right-clicking on the device's name and selecting "Uninstall". After uninstalling the device, select "Action" from the standard menu, then select "Scan for hardware changes" to cause the computer to detect the tablet and prompt you to install the device drivers.
