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] Cant get vibrant CM7 to connect to pc.

I have been trying all day to connect my Vibrant to my pc. I have downloaded the Samsung drivers but still no good. I know i need the nexus s drivers, I think i have found them and i installed them.
I am running CM7 I want to go back to stock so i can send to t-mobile. I got all the files I need to Odin flash back to stock. I just cant get into download mode because I cant connect to my PC. Can anyone point my to the right nexus s drivers or something. I have searched google many times and searched these and the nexus s forums. The ones i installed I found at

Thanks in advanced.
Sincerely,
The real Mr.Bauer
The Nexus S driver that ur supposed to install for CM7 can only be downloaded from the android SDK. u downloaded the actual nexus s drivers bundle, which have nothing to do with our vibrant, whether running CM7 or not.
The nexus s drivers (installed thru the SDK) allow our phone to be recognized by adb because it upgrades the drivers to be compatible with gingerbread
Assuming u have the SDK intalled, just open up the SDKmanager and update the USB driver.

I tried that i did this

I got revision 4 downloaded but i cant install it when i plug my " Android powered phone" in it does not see it in device manager.
I am using my brothers lg g2x cord to do all this i read somewhere that some people could not get it to work with other cords like a "4g cord".
Hmm I think we just found the problem lol. I've noticed a few people mention that other USB chords wont work for the vibrant. I never really had any trouble with any blackberry chords, but I've had two seperate LG chords that refuse to cooperate with the vibrant. One of them wouldn't even charge in my car.
I'd suggest to try using ur stock cable to connect it to the pc. That might just do the trick.

fix for USB connection problem for Vibrant with CM7
Thank you maoten,
The link you posted solved my problem.
I had the same problem after installing CM7; couldn't connect using ADB.
What I did was:
1. Downloaded the zip from the link you gave and unzipped into a local folder on my disk
2. Connected my Vibrant to the computer.
3. Right Clicked the Vibrant with the question mark in device manger > update drivers > selected the folder with the downloaded drivers.
4. Next... Next etc.
5. reconnected the Vibrant and now it is recognized as Android Phone / Android Composite ADB Interface.
6. (I also killed the ADB server by "adb kill-server" but I am not sure it's a must).

USB problem

Hello, I'm trying to connect my s5830 to my PC; Phone and computer beep like they are working, but it keeps giving me a "USB device Not Recognized" message. (it does charge by the way)
As per my previous research, this is what i've tried so far:
- On other computers, windows 7 and xp, same message.
- replaced usb cable, same message.
- factory wipe, same thing.
- cache wipe, wont run(?) - maybe this is a clue?
Its running on stock 2.2.1 firmware with no mods, not even extra apps. I actually have another s5830 (from a friend) and it works fine when i connect it to my home computer (windows 7) or my laptop (windows xp)
Any ideas of how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
Delete your drivers, reinstall kies and reconnect.
XDA ♥
Just tried that, no luck,thanks for the advice.

Delete the usb driver, uninstall kies then restart your pc.
After restart, dont plug your phone to the pc yet. Install kies.
After installing kies, plug your phone and let kies detect it.

No luck...maybe something is wrong with the phone itself?

Just CONNECT to another USB port.
If its not helping and like I see you have same problem with other PC-s too, then I think its your phone HARDWARE problem. Bring it to SAMSUNG service.
CHEERS!
Thanks, im going to take it tomorrow to see about getting it fixed.

I'm facing the similar problem too. Kies on my pc couldn't detect my SGA. N there's no "usb connection" n " usb debugging" icon appear on my SGA. What actually is the problem?
I had this problem after upgrading kies the solution was inside kies under tools there is a install driver option kies then loaded what I presume are newer drivers and it worked
i tried install driver for a few times. the problems remain unsolved! i connect my SGA to pc, the only thing it can do is charging...

My seem irrelevent... but you may want to check your permissions for USB... may be the USB permission has been turned off.
Try using any externel drive see if it works.

Just enable USB-Tethering on your phone. After some time you should be able to find a device named 'SAMSUNG Mobile USB Remote NDIS Network Device' in the device manager of your PC. You should then be able to use the phones data connection from your PC.
Thanks again for some reason just says Android Samsung then I got kies n it found it then when I teather blue screen even more problems now n kies don't even connect at least my mobiles running smooth

for those with litening rom or anyone else, when I try to tether my telstra internet from my mobile on my pc i get the message that there has been a problem installing the device, and when i look at device manager is says:
"SAMSUNG Mobile USB Remote NDIS Network Device #2" it has a yellow exclamation point symbol next to it and says "device cannot start"
anyone know how to fix this issue?
is it just simply a matter of trying to find a driver?
I don't think the error you get is related to the ROM but I might be wrong. I have attached two screenshots of my USB driver, maybe this helps.
I do not have Kies installed as I don't use it. I use only the USB drivers provided by SamHaLeKe which you can find here.
thanks,fxrb I will update try that and update kies aswell

Usb unrecognised

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

[Q] Not able to connect my SG2 with computer

I had been successfully connecting my SG2 (SGH-i777) with computer until few days back..now all of a sudden my phone is not getting connected in mtp mode to the computer..every time I try to connect, windows 7 fails to connect to the phone..even Kies is not able to connect to it..don't know whats the problem..my config is as below:
Kies : 2.3.1.12044_18
Phone model number : GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: I777UCKH7
Phone kernel version: 3.0.15 [email protected] -GT5464 #76
Build number : Phone-Bricker
Phone Carrier: ATT
Windows 7
Can somebody please help me out here..
Thanks in advance
I would ask this question in the thread for the rom that you're running . However, a simple fix might be on uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them.

I dont have permissions to post questions on that thread..so asked here.. :-|
I tried uninstalling the drivers by going in the device manager and uninstalling from there..but it is still not working properly
U installed kies on the computer not just the phone right

@OP:
Did you get it to work? I am having the same issue.. I'm running Shostock2..
I never had any issues but then again its much easier on windows 7 than older windows versions. Here's what I do.
A) connect computer to phone without USB debugging enabled. Let it do whatever it wants to do.
B) disconnect and enable USB debugging. Reconnect. Let it do its thing.
C) disconnect. Reboot into recovery. Connect. Let it do its thing. Disconnect.
D) boot onto android operating system, connect (with USB debugging enabled) and it should give an option on status bar to chose what ya wanna do. That of course is like first time set up type thing. Just what works for me.

Thanks a lot for the reply mate..
In step C..I rebooted in recovery mode and connected to computer..then computer said..Samsung Android ADB Interface is ready to use.
In D..Computer says MTP USB device : Installing driver software..but after some time it is still failing
I'm sorry yer having such a hard time man obviously you've rebooted the comp right? Also depending on what ROM yer on it may have u go into Settings to change something to allow u to access USB mass storage.

I can't tell if you're serious. In OP's other thread, you discouraged handholding. *is genuinely confused
To OP: I would try once more for a clean install of USB drivers. So from Control Panel -> uninstall a program (that's for Win7, something similar for other versions) -> uninstall SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones. Also uninstall any versions of Kies/Kies Mini, etc.
Reboot computer.
Download Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones, v.1.4.8.0 or later, though 1.4.8.0 seems to work for most people. If you can't find it, PM me with an e-mail and I'll e-mail it to you (too big to add to this post, if someone has a place they can host it let me know). Install it, let it do its thing.
Reboot computer again.
Plug in phone and leave it be. Let it do its thing. It may take awhile, but be patient, it *should* eventually install all necessary drivers and get everything working again.
If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.
Two different questions. This problem is one that I believe is unique to his phone / PC. The other thread isn't.

Did this happen after a new rom flash? If so I'd reflash and do a factory wipe/reset
