You need to have the drivers installed for the phone. When the phone is connected, click on the tools menu (guess that's what it is, at the top bar) and choose update drivers options...let it install and will work then.

Attempting to update new Vibrant (Galaxy S) using "Unleash the beast v0.1" - post reboot my XP machine is asking for a "Gadget Serial" driver. I've been looking around for such a beast but not having much success. The phone is displaying a lovely "Do not turn off target!!" error too. Makes me a tad nervous.
Suggestions?

FWIW: This can be fixed by downloading "PC Studio" from Samsung. (This board isn't letting me post the link but you can search on the Samsung main site).
I tried installing that pc studio. Did not work. I have windows vista-64 bit.
Same problem
Hi I'm new in this forum and new to Android also.
I'm having the exact same problem, when I'm trying to flash my phone (AT&T Captivate) back to stock using Odin3 One-Click Downloader my PC is asking me for a Gadget Serial Driver.
I already install ( a few times ) the Phone drivers downloaded from the Samsung site and my PC recognize my phone with no issues. My problem is when I'm in Download mode.
I have a Samsung Captivate rooted with 2.1 update 1 (JH7)
MY PC is running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
I will try the PC Studio from Samsung
Problem solved
Problem solved after installing the Samsung PC Studio. Thanks
It did not fix my problem. Is there another fix? Device manager even says that it is "other device" no drivers.
Try installing Keis mini. i had the same problem and that fixed it.

WTF are Samsung up to? Seriously?
I have a Galaxy S2 and i'm stuck on this Gadget driver issue. So I googled, found this thread and started looking. I've now found:
Kies Lite (Samsung site)
Kies 2.0 (Samsung site)
PC Studio 7.blah.blah... (Some driver download site)
PC Studio 3.blah (Samsung site)
NEW PC Studio 1.blah (Samsung site)
Talk about f*&king confused!
Oh and Kies 2.0 never finishes installing, I suspect its in a look as it sticks on "Evaulating Launch Conditions"...
WTF?
Anyone ANY clues on WHICH is the correct software AND version?
please anybody help us
I tried all of the above but nothing working. I tried on 2 different computers. one with
win7 64bit the other with winxp. both had the same problem. the stupid gadget serial
driver.
Try updating your Samsung drivers to the most recent ones:

I totally got it to work for my Galaxy SII
I remember putting my phone into some sort of usb tethering in the setting
so I just unchecked it and the drivers installed themselves
Settings> Wireless And Network > USB Utilities
and just push the connect to PC button and when you put your phone into Download mode the download wizard should install the drivers
Just so you wont switch..
From July 2012 Kies version

Gadget Serial
None of that worked for me. Doing the following worked for me. Basically you have to tell your pc what kind of driver this "Gadget Serial" is.
Goto "Device Manager".
Find the "Gadget Serial" device.
Right click and choose select update driver.
select "browse my computer for drivers" and then choose "Let me pick the drivers to install".

Hi guys! A new problem has started today with the latest version of Kies (Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_2). It fails to connect with the phone and shows the error, "cannot start service on this device. Pls disconnect and reconnect the device". What does this mean? Have tried everything. From re-installing Kies to re-installing device drivers using the Connection Error Resolution thing in the Tools menu of Kies. It was connecting fine till yesterday.
My laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium which is fully updated. And my phone is CF Rooted KF3 with Stock Kernel. Does anyone know what's wrong?
Windows is not starting the service Kies .
Go to your Windows services manager and check .

Hi JJ, I opened "Services" in windows, and in the list of Services, there is no service with the name KIES or Samsung Kies. Can you pls give a detailed answer. Thanks in advance.
Point to be noted is that this new version of Kies was working fine till yesterday, only from today it is not connecting the phone. When I un-install and re-install Kies, it connects properly and detects the phone (when connected via USB cable) just ONCE. After that whenever I try to connect the phone Kies is giving the error message. Also note, that I am able to view the contents of the phone normally via Windows.
Does anyone have the answer to this problem??? This problem of Kies not recognizing the phone when connected is being faced by many people. Has Kies stopped recognizing rooted phones???
My newly purchase from carrier also can't connect to pc. (xp )fail to find any driver when connect, namely those cdc serial and android mtp

Does your phone connect normally via USB to the computer ? completely uninstall and re-install via a fresh download of KIES. Clear your Temp, %Temp% and prefetch folders. Check if the cable is faulty or not. One of these is bound to help you.
I have tried reinstalling keis and done everything i can think of but nothing seems to help. Before the update of kies my phone used to be able to connect via usb like normal ever since the update its all gone to pot

First of all, I must say that KIES is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever seen. It is buggy and you must hope it will work eventually.
I got one successful with my old phone (galaxy 551) after updating via ODIN first to the correct firmware for my country.
But with my current Galaxy S2 I had to go to the repair center who used ODIN to get the right version on my phone.
I now have made KIES work on my windows 7 machine. I had to install the UK version (not the country version) and used the connection problem wizard to reinstall the drivers. Now it says I have the current version of my firmware.
To go back to your problem. It would help if you post which OS you are on and which version of the firmware you have currently installed ?
Also have you USB error detection off in the settings of your Galaxy S2 ?
Hi guys pls could someone help me im unable to get my computer to recognize my galaxy sii it just say usb unrecognised it used to recognise it but now it doesnt iv tried every thing any help would be greatly apreciated!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
try installing/updating KIES on your computer. Disable USB debugging from phone settings. then try connecting again. Launch KIES and see if the device is recognized. You havent mentioned if you made any changes on the phone from Stock ROM.
Also check windows update...for any driver downloads
At least you could tell us that you solved your problem

First make sure you have proper drivers installed
install PDAnet and select samung. Now connect your s2
if it still doesnt install the drivers, its the fault in the computer because if it says usb device not recognised, then its his fault
try in the backside usb ports --> worked for me one
or power off your PC and remove the plug and wait for five seconds and then turn it on (im mean power it on )
now you should be able to connect your device
Sorry if this question is already asked, but I searched the forums and could not find it.
But I have a problem/challenge with flashing a bootloader using Odin.
I have the following:
Galaxy Tab P7510, rooted and Galaxy Task13 rom flashed (I did this before I got a Windows 8 OS)
Laptop running Windows 8
Odin 1.85
Installed USB drivers (I think)
I wanted to go to the JellyBean rom. So I looked at the following thread:
[ROM][P75xx][JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly Discussions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202)
I did the following:
- I flashed updated CWM using Mobile Odin
- Then I downloaded the bootloader from the thread.
- I downloaded the USB drivers from the following page: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi
- I tried to install these downloaded drivers, but it gave me some problems with compatibility using windows 8, I got a option to install it using a "compatibility mode". I choose this option and the USB driver seemed to install correctly (I got the installation and could install it without any shown problems/errors).
- I opened Odin3-v1.85
- I powered off the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and connected the USB adapter to the computer but not to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
- I booted the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 into download mode by holding down Vol Down while connecting via USB
(according the instructions from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi)
Here the problem starts, I cant seem to connect the Tab with the USB. At least if I look at the Galaxy Tab I continuously have the message "connect USB cable". If I look at Odin I don't see the ID:COM become blue or green and see don't see the word added (what in my opinion seems to be meaning that the Tab is not connected with my laptop).
I tryed several things to see if that would work, I mean changing the order of how to connect the Tab to the laptop. But I did not have any success.
I remember when rooting and flashing the Tab before, it was very easy to connect the Tab with Oding to the PC/Laptop, but now I don't have any success.
Could it be that there are problems with using Windows 8 (unfortunately I don't have a Windows 7 PC/laptop available to me the coming week).
So the question is if any of you guys that are more handy in these things got any idea what I am doing wrong and more important got any idea how to fix it.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
Thnx in advance.

Upgrade to Windows 7 and you'll be fine.
Does your system see anything when you plug in the tablet? You should at least get some indication that it's recognizing it.
If you bring up the Device Manager (Windows-X key, or Control Panel/Hardware/Device Manager) does the device show up?
(I'm thinking there may be some problem with the cable. I've been burned by that in the past.)
I am just in the progress of indeed installing Windows 7 again.
When I plug in the Tab into this laptop (old one running ubuntu) I dont see anything happening, but the Tab does charge.
So I will wait a few mins again and try it with Windows 7.
Thnx for the reply.
Ok Windows 7 installed and tried again, still no luck.
Still no connection with laptop.
I looked at the device manager and although I don't know where exactly to look I don't see any difference if the Tab is plugged in or not.
As I said, charging seems to be working fine when plugged in the laptop and also when connected to a wall socket.
Hmmm, ok, next step I am gonna buy a new cable and see if this will fix the problem.
Will update when I bought the new cable.
Have you enabled USB Debugging in Developers Options?
Also, did you check MTP in Settings-Storage-menu at top right corner-USB Connection.
Until these are done the laptop will not recognise your tablet at all.

USB Debugging was/is enabled.
Also, did you check MTP in Settings-Storage-menu at top right corner-USB Connection:
Dont know how to do this as I cant find this option, if I go on my Tab to Settings-Storage I dont see this option.
I am not on a stock ROM, but on Task14 Slim ROM.
But when I connect my Tab via usb to my laptop, I get the message in the bottom bar that "USB is connected" and that "MTP is connected". Although I dont see anything happening on my laptop.

If you see "MTP is connected" means the option is already enabled. If autoplay did not work you may not see any action. Open my computer and see if you will find your sdcard mounted as a portable device. Open it.

No I do not see any "extra" device in "my computer" when I connect the Tab.
Windows 8 or Windows 7, you should be able to see the device. I recommend going into device manager and deleting the drivers (the option to delete is in the window after selecting uninstall).
Grab these drivers and try http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/GT-P7510MAYXAB
I use them for my Samsung devices and have no issue ODIN seeing my devices in Win 7 or 8.

I did as you said but also with those drivers no succes.
Then I downloaded drivers from the Thai Samsung support site (KiesSetup), because I am in Thailand.
But this was more of a sync program with USB drivers also implemented.
But here also no succes.
Now I am going to the Mall and see if I can buy a new USB cable and hopefully this will solve my problem.
Thnx for the reply's!
Ok, I got a new cable and I can connect the Tab to the laptop again. I am doing some file transfers now and then I am gonna try to flash the bootloader and after that flash the new CM10.1 ROM. Hmmm could as easily just see for a new Nightly the other one is already 2 a 3 days old.
I just used the USB drivers from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi
Thnx all for the help.
SOLVED
The problem was the cable, I bought a new cable and I just flashed the bootloader with Odin.
This is how I remember it to be working. Easy, simple and fast!!!!
Again everyone thnx for your idea's/help!!!
You can download just the drivers from here.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-I9100LKAXEU-downloads
Choose software and then its the 2nd listing. You wont need to install Kies as well then. I have had no problems using these under Windows 8.

Which option in Odin?
Hey,
Could you tell me which option did you use in Odin to flash the bootloader? Was it the PDA slot or Bootloader slot?
Thanks
