Whenever I connect my Galaxy S II I get a "mobile MTP device" driver downloading box that NEVER gets the driver and when I go to USB mass storage my computer doesn't pick up the Galaxy at all. I can't access things and its doing my head in. I've tried various techniques described on various blogs to no effect. Please anyone...

Hi all,
I can't connect my phone's mass storage to my computer. There's is no 'USB utilities' in the 'Wireless and Network' menu. Which is strange because I swear I've used it before. I'm currently running on DarkyROM JVQ 10.2.2 (I had to download the zip file directly onto my phone). The 'USB settings' menu contains 'Samsung Kies', 'Media player' and 'Mass storage'. Changing to any of the options and connecting the cable does nothing. When connected the computer does not recognise the device and the driver isn't installed. I've tried installing Kies, and also installing Samsung's Mobile Phone drivers but nothing seems to work.
I've spent a few hours crawling forums, I've tried pretty much everything that people have said. I've factory reset everything, even got a new ROM (hence running 10.2.2 instead of 10.1) and did some weird hash number thing in my dialer to open up some menu.
I've posted this in the Android Q&A section rather than the SGS Q&A as this seems to be a problem with the OS, rather than the phone itself.
What could be the problem?
Hello All,
I got my new Galaxy S II yesterday and it came with ICS. I am trying to connect the phone on to the PC as Mass Storage - but as soon as I connect my phone, my PC (Which runs on XP) says "USB Device not recognized". I tried USB Debugging, enabling Mass storage under Settings->More->USB utilities etc. Nothing works. I even tried with a different cable - no luck. Can anyone help me to fix this issue? Thanks a lot.

USB mass storage was removed by default in the ICS upgrade. Now the S2 uses MTP, similar to the Galaxy Nexus. Windows 7, Ubuntu & OS X can read it, but XP doesn't have MTP functionality built in. I guess it can be enabled though, don't know how. In any case, USB mass storage is still accessible, follow the link.

Wrong, user Cool_fury knows too
I am having a problem plugging my Note2 into multiple PCs - USB2 and USB3 ports both tried, multiple pcs and laptops tried.
All running Windows 7 (Pro or Enterprise). The N2 is bone stock, no root yet.
It makes the sound like it sees the USB, but fails installing all of the drivers, and never brings up the window to explore the SD contents.
I have tried multiple drivers - the S3 driver that some said would be no issue does not work. Different carrier versions do not work.
Last I checked, there was no verizon version driver available.
Here is my process.
I plug it in.
It says Connected as Installer
I pull the window down, choose MTP.
It tries to install different drivers
Never completes in Windows, says failed.
I have tried with debugging checked and without.
I have tried aftermarket cables (namebrand and off-brand) as well as OEM cables from the S2, S3 and Note2.
I've removed hidden USB devices and plugged it into multiple different USB ports to try and get it to work.
Any ideas guys? Are you guys plugging your Note 2's in and are able to browse the internal storage no prob through windows ? If so, how?
nothing?
Simmilar USB connecting issues
My Note 2 does connect as a MTP media device with "directories" Card & Phone, via win7
But I want to connect the sd card as a standard usb mappable drive just like every other phone I ever had.
It seem Android used to allow this but now may not. Or I haven't found the magic setting.
I had a similar issue after I flashed the rooted image, I had to disable USB debugging in developer options, restart the phone and laptop to get it to connect as MTP
After going through a ton of hoops to get this thing rooted, then ****ing flashed, I (naturally) run into another infuriating issue that is USB drivers don't seem to work, I hear the USB connected sound on windows when I plug it in but nothing appears, connecting as a Camera (PTP) seems to "work" but I can only see some(?) of my files and nothing can be copied to the phone. I have no SD Card, only the internal memory, so mass storage is not an option either. It shows up in Device Manager as "Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface" under "Android Device"
Things I've tried:
-Rebooting the PC(Many times)
-Rebooting the phone(Many times)
-Powering off the phone, taking out the battery and leaving it for 5 mins then powering on again
-Reinstalling Samsung Kies and Samsung USB drivers(infinite times)
-Factory resetting the phone and skipping all account prompts at startup then connecting the phone(seems to work for some people)
-Connecting with USB debugging off
-Connecting with USB debugging on
-Changing the USB Port.
Please help, I'm just about sick of this phone and it's countless issues, can't believe how hard it is to customize.
EDIT: Wrong forum, sorry. Please delete.
Hello,
I recently installed the EHNDROIX V 14.11.15 in my Samsung galaxy s2 i9100 and I have to say It is a hell of a good rom, which I am very satisfied with, though there is 1 issue I can't cope with... My PC just wouldn't install the MTP and Mass storage drivers (tried with USB debugging unticked too) - it says that the SW coudn't be found, then I googled it, checked on the Samsung web page and I just can't find the needed drivers
could you please give me some advice, where could I possibly find them
thanks a lot in advance
