First of all, Credit goes to Scepterr who ran me through all this.
Secondly, do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for your screwups.
Third, READ and FOLLOW directions. If you skip around and screw up, it's your fault.
Fourth, This is for Windows, not mac.
If ADB is not working for you over a wired connection, it's because your usb driver is out of date. Here's what you do:
go to google's dev site and download the latest sdk that allows you to download the newest driver:
Here
unzip it into a folder and run SDK Manager.exe
wait a moment.
you'll see Choose Packages to Install.
Click cancel
click on Available packages
click on the arrow left of the checkbox for "Third pary Add-ons"
click on the arrow left of the checkbox for "Google Inc. (dl-ssl.google.com)
check the box for Google USB Driver package, revision 4
click Install Selected (bottom right button of the screen)
let it install.
allow it restart ADB
verify installation by clicking on Installed packages
if it's there, then it's installed.
go to your device manager
right click computer
click properties
click Device Manager
find the USB mass storage related to your TP.
You can tell this by removing the tp with device manager on. the one that goes away under Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Plug it back in.
right click that device (usually named USB Mass Storage Device) and uninstall it.
when it's done uninstalling, Right click on your computer name and click Scan for Hardware Change.
let it reinstall it
You're done.
Verify by typing "adb devices" in the command prompt (without ")
if if finds a device with the touchpad plugged in, you're good.
congratulations, you got wired ADB back.
bump. in case some people haven't seen it
Hi,
I've just spent a few hours trying to fix a problem with Kies and Windows 7. I had just used Odin3 and download mode to download a Chainfire kernel onto my GT-I9100, and afterword when I connected my phone Windows 7 would try installing drivers and fail on the MTP driver. I tried a lot of things to fix the problem, the only information I could get on it was an error message "Device Cannot Start (Code 10)".
I had spotted that when connecting my phone in download mode to Odin3 that Windows 7 had detected and installed a driver for "Unknown Device". On a hunch that this driver was causing the issue with connecting after using Odin3 I tried to completely uninstall it.
This is what I did (the first 8 or 9 steps are just to enable Device Manager to show *inactive* device drivers so you can uninstall the Unknown device. I've nicked this these steps from another site since I'm not allowed to link it yet):
1. Go to Control Panel and double click on System. You can also right-click "Computer" on the Start menu (or on the desktop if it's shown there) and choose Properties.
Note: A faster way for opening up the System applet is to press the Windows logo key on your keyboard and then press Pause/Break at the same time.
2. Click on "Advance System Settings" link, and then click on the "Environment Variables" button.
3. In the System Variables section click on the "New" button.
4. In the New System Variable dialog box, under the Variable Name value enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices (just copy the value from here and paste it there) and give it a variable value of 1.
Click Ok.
5. In the Environment Variables window notice how the new variable appeared in the System Variables section. Click Ok.
6. In the System Properties window click Ok.
7. Log off and log on.
8. Open Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager).
9. From the View menu click Show Hidden Devices and searched for Unknown Device under Portable Device and USB Devices.
10. Right click the Unknown Device and select to uninstall, making sure to select complete removal of drivers option.
11. Restart the PC.
12. Start Kies without plugging the phone in.
13. Click on Troubleshooting for USB device and continue until it repairs the drivers.
14. Reboot the PC. Open Kies and plugin the phone again and let it reinstall the drivers.
Hope this sheds some light on this pernicious issue.
Im running on cm9.1. First time I plugged my phone in to my laptop, it said unable "android" driver unable to install. Im able to access the sd cards from windows though.
I opened device manager to try to update/install the driver. nothing has worked so far. I tried to install it from the android sdk and it didnt work. I installed the official samsung usb driver and kies and they didnt work.
what else can i try??
or should this really be a priblem??
Maybe you can flash another rom.
For example,you can try CM10.1 or samsung official rom.
I'm using cm10.1 and it doesn't have your problem.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
well, I like to hold out on cm10.1 until the stable release which might not even happen at all for the s2.
any other solution you can think of??
how's the cm10.1 nightlies anyway?? good enough for everyday use?
Never mind I fixed it. I followed this instruction I found:
Connect phone
Run USBDeview as Administrator
Sort by Serial Number
Select all devices with Serial Number starting HT
Uninstall selected devices
Disconnect/reconnect phone
Windows will try, and fail, to install device, ignore that and...
Install driver via Device Manager:
Open Device Manager (Start->My Computer, right click->Manage->Device Manager)
Under Other, you should see a device with a yellow warning called ADB or Android Phone; right click -> Update driver software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Select Show all devices, click Next
Click Have disk...
Browse to android sdk install directory and find the usb_driver directory (mine is in extras\google)
Select android_winusb.inf and click OK
Select Android Composite ADB Interface and click Next
When the Update Driver Warning appears click Yes
Hey guys.
I have Samsung galaxy ace 5839i (stock for 5830i) and I am using it for a few years, but this problem came for the first time.
Always, when I try to connect my mobile to pc using cable, it just won't connect, it won't even show me the notification of connecting.
Before this problem, I connected it to fedora linux and it was succesful, but now? It won't show me that USB sign even in windows.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
@LiQuDiAk, basically s5839i and s5830 i are identical in many areas ,, few questions though,, did you root your device or you are on android 2.3.6 stock version / kernel 2.6.35.7 ?
when you are in your windows device manager ( while you are connected , do you see any exclamation / question marks in front of the corresponding driver), you can always uninstall your old driver, reboot , then try compiled driver in attachment , and reboot to take proper effect in your registry (tested on win xp/7 -32bit) . Also check your device settings>Application>Development > USB Debugging and make sure the option is checked. now lets check your debugging mode through ADB command and see if your device is being recognized. download platform zip attachment, unzip it and put the folder someplace like your desktop. Now open your command prompt (cmd) through whatever means you are comfortable and change directory (cd) to the unzip folder or simply open your folder and drag/drop adb.exe into your CMD to be in the right place very fast. Then type "adb devices" without quotation marks and report for more troubleshooting .Assuming your Samsung cable is not faulty of course.
@ehsanotaku Yes i did root my phone on pheonix fire rom. No i do not see any. And debugging is checked, that was my first guess why it was causing this. I was checking, whether my device is recognized in linux (only available OS in present) and it was NOT, but the cable is not faulty, because it was charging my phone... but i will do recognize process on windows, hope it will get better. But thanks so far!
so, the driver didnt help, but the adb devices got me something long which i do not completely understand (i am a girl and not IT) so...

off topic though, gender discrimination is prejudice,, sorry if you are offended . Learning from each other despite your gender,does not undermine your knowledge EVER mate You might find it hard to believe, but I am quite novice in android stuff myself ( learning a great deal from some female members though ).
Back to topic at hand now,,,So let Perfectly Clear take away the time-consuming tasks and fix some stuff ..1. so you can not access your sdcard's content from either systems,, even if you try some live bootable Ubuntu disk/flash into your system and boot it up,, you can't access the mount drive content , right?
2. screenshot of your device manger while you are connected always help mate
3. those long streams of numbers and words is supposed to be your device name , it means your device is communicating with your pc ( /sdcard/ should not be corrupted). You can push (copy ) some vital files to your device with following command :
again same path >> put some file into your desktop (drag/drop to cmd)
i.e: "adb push C:\Users\ehsanotaku\Desktop\test.txt /sdcard/"
back to your device and check root of your files with whatever file explorer you got to approve the theory
4. forgot to ask , just to be on the safe side your device is not in boot loop process, stuck on samsung splash screen or something like that, right?
okay, thanks!
1. I cannot access it trough USB to mobile way, but from SD card adapter, yeah I can (it is just the weird feeling, when you always have to put out your sd and do it that way, i would like to sort this out)
2. http://s1.postimg.org/nkta50u3x/Untitleddas.png I suppose the unknown device is my phone.
3. Just a question, my phone is not connected, i cannot access it and this doesn't help
4. Nope, it is working, i can access everything, just this connecting problem i have. anything else is running smoothly.
Let's say any of this will work, do you think flashing a stock rom will help? I am not sure, if this is problem of rom or not, so...
And maybe i wasn't clear (my bad if not) but when i plug the cable in my device and pc, pc will make this sound of new device found, but it wont show me anything, so my phone. It will charge, but it wont connect, it is behaving like it is on a charger and not connected to the phone.
@LiQuDiAk, Hasty actions are done in a hurry, sometimes without the necessary care or thought. Now let's not leap to any conclusion about your Android custom Rom and flashing back to stock. lets focus on your first most obvious problems,which is driver related.
You didn't declare your flavor of windows: i.e: Windows x86 based-PC;professional 7
Not so sure of your OS Name/Version and System Type, search "system information" in your search box.
Your task manger depicted ACPI x64 ( 64-bit system, no wonder previous 32-bit compatible didn't work out for you ).
Symptoms observed so far:
1. USB cable only charges ( remember your USB cable data line might be the culprit. Just in case of only charging,checking with another set recommended. Your USB port might be problem, some dirt or faulty data line, checking with another USP port doesn't heart though.
2. Windows recognizes something more (like in your case, struggling to find proper corresponding driver), but cannot see it as a Samsung android device (cannot allocate the installed USB drivers to the device).
-If you got Kies (Samsung proprietary software) installed on your PC, delete it with a descent uninstaller program such as CCleaner free version .Kies might cause driver conflict , use it as only last resort , if all drivers failed to communicate with s5830i device.
-Also Uninstall your previous given driver same way, now restart , back to system and grab set of universal Samsung Drivers from attachment .
3.Can't see your "USB connected" in Android notification bar, so you cant click on it and mount your storage data part while you are connected to your PC.
-Normally, when you plug in your Android device, Windows will recognize it as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device and quietly mount it.
However, if you’ve ever attempted to unlock your device such as to install a new ROM or root it, then such miss behaviors might be expected occasionally .
Before i go for more troubleshooting , please provide a full screenshot from your "About Phone" page in your settings . I am quite curious about this phoenix Rom you have mentioned though . I am quite familiar with at least dozen of discontinued/ported projects, but never heard of such ported Rom from other models into s5830i .
Couple of solutions :
Navigate to your settings,Storage and touch the upper-right corner for the “USB computer connection” options, if you have this part available.
make sure “Media device (MTP)” is selected. ( if you have USB Utilities section or whatever added section in your custom settings go there . Selecting that will do the trick. If it does not, then you likely have a driver problem.
Open your device manager, Right click on your unrecognized device in question,choose update driver software, choose Browse my computer,find it through given x64 drivers in your package ,Restart. ( After a successful installation, restart your PC, you must have something like the picture in attachment ) .
Problem was not resolved, Uncheck your debugging option,power off your phone. Now hold Volume(+) + Home + Power for a couple of seconds simultaneously to get to your Samsung Recovery or your Clockwork Recovery, choose Reboot( might be some process/service in your background, which interfere with your Auto USB connected feature of your device. See if the problem is being resolved .
Problems have been persisting, we might need to format your SD card, but before that, insert it into your card reader, in your file explorer window choose Tools>Folder options>select view tab> tick your select hidden file.folders. Now copy all of your SD card's contents into some folder, safe inside your PC.
We can format your card through your clockwork mod recovery console, or some partition tools such as free mini partition wizard,,
problem still persist? let me know

Make sure you have your devices drivers installed. Search Google for them. You can most likely find them on XDA. If you can't you can find them on to Manufactured side. Where you can search for example Miracle box and then go to their site and look in their support section and you will for sure Find the drivers. Open device manager back up when you get the drivers. make sure you have your devices drivers installed. Search Google for them. You can most likely find them on SDA. If you can't you can find them on the manufacturer site. Or you can search for example miracle box ending go to their site and look in their support section and you will for sure find the drivers. Open device manager back up when you get the drivers after you've install them make sure that they're correctly installed if you still see in teepee like that right click it and then select the driver manually and scroll down through to you find your manufacturer and if you don't find your manufacturer find any other empty p if you have other device drivers like Samsung HTC excetera and that will work just fine. There you go. Just did this voice to text. So sorry for the chopping sloppiness and what not.
