Hi,
Does somebody know where I can get the drivers in title!!
I have a brand new SGS2 and would like to root the thing. But it's a bit more tricky the my old SGS
In my device manager win7 x64 - I get warning on "CDC serial & SAMSUNG Android"
I have Kies and Android SDK installed and it will still not find the drivers.
Thanks in advance.
have you plugged in the phone while kies is running mine wouldnt install the drivers till i did that.
Its the same for me on one of my computers. It was all done correctly, but no drivers are found. Ive tried repeatedly and have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies but it makes no difference.
Go to Kies directory in Program Files you will find a directory something like "USB Driver"
inside of it there's USB Driver for Galaxy S II, install it.
Problem solved.

maybe this will help someone as well. I had the same problems as you above with these driver not installing. So what i did was the following
installed samsung kies V.2.2.2.11044 with the tel hooked up to the usb and the computer. I did not have USB debugging on in the : settings/applications/usb debug (unchecked)
then I let kies start did not find the drives, so I unhooked the tel. ( galaxy s2) and I enable USB debugging, plugged it in again, started kies and it found all rivers.. NOTE.. it found all drivers but I do not use kies other then to get the drives, I use Odin 1.8.5 which after this , Odin worked just fine.. so you can still upgrade, just without using this Samsung Kies. which sucks anyway
best
This worked for me:
Install kies and open it, connect you phone and let windows attempt to install drivers, then click tools drop down menu and click 'install driver', kies will then download the drivers for the phone.
kies v. 2.0.1.11053_99
Kies -> Tools -> Install driver
XD
it worked!

i did this, then i get a Windows 7 popup on the bottom right saying installing drivers, but it fails and both CDC Serial and SAMSUNG_Android have a red X beside them. so frustrating
Kies
I have tried all of the suggestions above except turning on USB debugging. None have worked.
different attempts give me different messages
Installing drivers does nothing.
Sometimes plug in says missing MTP
Sometimes plug in says missing CDC
Sometimes device recognized completely.
All cases, first plug in while kies is running causes kies' "devicemanager.exe" to crash followed by infinite connecting loop.
Any ideas PLEASE PM let me know
Manually install drivers but instead of choosing Samsung MTP drivers choose Mass Storage Drivers.
Update Driver >> Install from PC >> First Browse to the Program Files/Samsung/usb drivers folder then >> I want to choose from PC >> Choose Mass Storag e Driver.
Worked for me just now.
not working
I have tried all solutions from this thread. Still have the CDC error in my device manager on the PC.

Anyone can help me?
Thank you!

Great fix, worked for me. Thank you
I Solved the issue this way::
Issue: Samsung Galaxy SII didn't find driver after kies update.
Solution: Uninstall the old kies completely + Samsung USB Driver..... which is installed.
Delete the files completely from program files to make sure we get everything new during next install... U may need to use a safe mode boot sometimes for a full delete.
Download latest kies from samsung.com to get an original fresh one.
Then do the install.. Plug in phone...
Hi all,
I have the build 2.1.0.11095_121 and I can get my sg2 to be recognised anymore.
I have tried uninstalling and debug and off. No joy.
Does this mean I won't be able to root or load apps on from eclipse?
Any ideas to fix arggghh?
I have tried all above solutions but this what helped me was go to Kies directory -> USB Driver and start setup All problems gone and Kies is running now.
Always the simplest solution is the hardest to find

Go to my 4shard, link in my sig, drivers are in there. (4icon) (its been updated to the newest one as of December 2011)
Thanks Veyka, your file on 4share did the job.
AHHHHHHH this is driving me nuts! I just ditched by beloved (and now very slow) cappy for a new gt9100. Great. I'm runninw Windows 7 and I can't get it to automatically install the appropriate USB drivers - the process keeps failing. So i tried to find them online and install them manually but I can't seem to find them ANYWHERE. I can transfer files to and from my phone via usb when the phone is in "mass storage" mode, other than that, as I can't find or install the right drivers i cant use samsung kies or sideload wonder etc etc. Someone please help!

Please be more specific.
What error message is given when you try to install Kies?
Do you have an administrator account?
Which stepst did you exactly take to get the drivers installed?
1. Ok. Kies is installed fine though it will not connect to my phone via usb cable - it keeps telling me to put the phone into 'kies mode" and keeps doing so even when it is.
2. Also, when i connect the phone to the 'sideload wonder machine' it will not install apps on my phone and tells me "error: device not found" and before that it tels me to make sure i have installed the correct drivers.
3. Every time i plug my phone in via usb and its not in the mass storage mode windows automatically (re)installs (even thought it has done this on every previous occasion) the 'appropriate' drivers. Sometimes windows informs me that this has occured successfully, though next time I plug my phone it it starts the process all over again and tells me the installation ahs failed.
I do have administrator privelages and I've tried searching everywhere for the correct driveers to install but cant find any....I swear it was so much easier trying to find drivers and complete installations on my captivate.
Yeah, Kies is horrible and the driver installation can be a pain. But that windows tries to install them again and again is strange, I never heard of that problem before.
Sorry mate, but *I* don't know what's going on. Hopefully somebody else can be of more assistance. Sorry!
Go into settings/applications/development and untick usb debug mode.
Your phone is now in kies mode and upon inserting your usb lead it should say mtp connection instead of usb. Hope this helps

Hey,
I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but couldn't find the thread. I wanted to install CWM on my phone, and installed i9100xxkp8 to root it later. Now once i installed i9100xxkp8 using Odin, Odin doesn't detect my phone anymore. The laptop I'm using is detecting it fine when the phone is switched on, but as soon as I switch to download mode, it says the USB device is not recognised.
I've a feeling this may be due to samsung MTP drivers in the phone?
Since I can't run Odin, i can't install CWM, and can't get out of this old buggy OS!
anybody has any ideas?
Thanks!

you can try this :

Mobile Odin thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
then you can get out of this buggy ROM, by flashing any custom ROM.
all that or simple put your PC online, every time you flash new ROM, windows install drivers, after that it will work.
that's for windows 7, cant say for other OS.
also try changing cable / usb port of laptop
einstall the samsung drivers and odin will work...

I tried following your advice, it installs CWM, but then can't do anything else, and I get the error
E: can't find /cache/recovery/log
E: can't find /cache/recovery/last_log
Any idea why this is happening to me?

apparently your recovery is not where it should be or erased

Sorry I am on work..........
Did you try to rectify connection problem first as all other suggested....
See I gave you a suggetion and a link to another thread which is working perfect for most of the users and also sticked by Moderator on his sticky thread, please go through that thread to find out wheather such error is reported or not.
please check, there must be a solution for your problem...
I suffered the same problem as you, and fixed it by flashing through ODIN another capable CWM kernel.
In my case, N.E.A.K. kernel.
Hope that helps
Flash a Kernel via Odin, from here
I suggest LPB, LPQ, or LPS. Good luck

Why on earth would he want to flash one of those three if he is on XXKP8?
I have exactly the same problem:
My phone is recognised when switch on normally. When in download mode I get the "USB device is not recognised"
This means I can't use Odin to flash a new anything, as it won't recognise the device when it's in download mode! Is there a problem with the USB drivers on the phone (I have a ROM install crash on me - thank you Keis!) Is there any way to fix them. Is there any other way to get around the problem?
It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?" being used/invoked by the phone in Download mode.
"It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?"
OK, that being the case, time to think logically...
If you have Kies installed on your PC - uninstall it, reboot, re-download it, reinstall it, reboot. If you don't have it installed, download/install it & reboot. Also run Windoze update. When you run Odin, you must run it as admin on the PC you're using. And most importantly, when you do run Odin, check task manager to ensure Kies or any of its processes aren't running in the background. If they are, kill them.
Also, despite you saying it isn't one of these issues, rather than saying 'but I know it's not this ! (even tho I haven't tried/tested for problems around these)' try different USB cables (use the one supplied with the phone if you're not now), different USB ports (must use a powered/mainboard port) and also try different versions of Odin (Google them).
Thanks for the quick response:

-I did this as my first step, Although having Kies active as a process borked my flash (my bad - forgot it was installed - usually just use the Google drivers from the dev kit), it has never prevented Odin from seeing my phone in download mode before.

I have tried a different cable, a different port (all of them) a powered hub etc...
I have previously flashed this phone with my current version of Odin. There is no reason that any of the above should apply to my case (I know logic doesn't always apply, sometimes...China...
Again. Everything worked fine, I flashed the kernels and various ROMs without issue. I had a bad flash (via odin) that hung. On reboot I was able to recover the phone via CWM back to 4.0.3 (ie. the version prior to the failed flash.)
The phone and computer chat happily when the phone in on normally (dev mode and normal). When I boot into Download mode I get the error, hence it would appear that the issue lies with whatever driver is invoked by the phone in download mode - the question is, how do I fix it? To be clear, Odin sees the phone when it is booted normally, but not when in download mode.
I am at a loss, I assume something in the nand was corrupted during the flash - not sure exactly what...
Boy is my face red!
Having tried every combination of cable / usb port I could, I managed to dig out an old dual usb powered cable (takes power from a 2nd usb port to power the device) and it worked! I guess it just wasn't getting enough power from a single usb port. Not sure why my powered usb hub didn't work - guess it's just broken .
Anyway - hope this helps someone else - I know how frustrating I found this whole affair. Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction MistahBungle - saved a lot of heartache!
No probs. Glad you got it working
I am trying to root my SGS3 international via Odin. The problem is that when I connect it to the computer in download mode, nothing happens. The device is not detected and the drivers are not being intalled. Worst of all ID : Com does not turn blue/yellow and the device is not added to Kies.
I have installed Kies, separate driver packs, I have tried different cables, different usb ports (on and off the mainboard of the PC), I have googled the problem for hours and still cannot figure it out.
Any advice?

You might have the same issue as I had.. I flashed a new firmware via Mobile Odin Pro.
Drivers shoudnt be installed when phone is in download mode but when its connected to the computer.. Before or after KIES is installed.
Did it work? Does anything happen at all?

Thank you for your reply.
I thought of that myself. But in order for me to use Mobile Odin Pro, I nedd to get root and in order to get root, I need to use Odin to flash the root files.
Nothing happens at all when the phone is connected to the computer in download mode. If the phone is booted in android, the drivers begin to install and Odin sees the phone (needless to say, I cannot flash while in Android mode). When I reboot in download mode, nothing happens.
have you made sure kies isn't running in the background? You need to kill all kies processes before using Odin or it may interrupt your flash. Aside from that you could uninstall kies and drivers and just try inhaling the drivers on their own? Which Windows version are you using? Xp can be problematic
Any idea whatsoever would be welcome

have seen a few reports of defective cables, but more likely a server problem or port problem, try a Google or search the threads as there have been quite a few posts regarding this matter, unfortunately I haven't got any links to hand

I try to root/recovery my Verizon note2 I605 by following the instruction in post -- "[Jailbreak][Root][Recovery] CASUAL One-Click -- update 17MAR13:Windows/Linux" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348).
After that, I can enter recovery menu and install customize rom. However, the Phone just supports two USB options: MTP and PTP and my PC (the same for another PC) does not recognize the phone anymore even I reinstall phone driver from Sumsung. Neither does CASUAL program recognize the phone.
Can anyone give me a hint about how to deal with this situation? Many Thanks in advance!

Dont use win8, as far as I have heard its not supported.
This has happened to me both times I rooted my Verizon Note 2, what a pain in the ass. What I did to get it to work was to uninstall the samsung drivers then reinstall. This worked the first time but now it is not working on my replacement phone. This has happened before on my girlfriends s3, it pretty much wont recognize any samsung phones. I'm out of ideas, I think the USB installer that casual comes with is screwing up the drivers. I'm on Win7 btw

USB debugging on? Also I would uninstall the drivers and then reinstall manually..
