Hello,
I have searched everywhere but I can not find a solution to my problem.
A few weeks ago I was able to connect my phone to my computer and Eclipse without issue. All the drivers worked even without Kies ever being installed.
Then I installed Cyanogenmod for my Galaxy S2. Here is the guide I followed.
After that my computer would not recognize any drivers. I uninstalled all drivers related to my phone, I even installed Kies. My computer still won't recognize any drivers.
Please help.
Have you tried the USB Driver for Windows from the Android SDK?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Thanks, I tried it but it didn't help. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers in SDK Manager. I updated SDK Manager and that didn't help either. Nothing seems to work. Kies still will not successfully install the drivers either, even if I use "Run as Administrator"
same 4 me i tried on 2 pc still nothing
Could someone please help. I use my phone for development.
If Cyanogenmod does not work with Eclipse and the Android SDK it should at least be confirmed.
Same problem here: after installation of Cyanogen PC wont recognise Galaxy S2 (even after re-installing drivers/kies; using a different PC; etc.).
I am not blaming anyone here, just wondering whether there is a solution.
Would it help to flash back to stock ROM for instance?
Ok..I have checked xda, but not cyanogen forum. The reason is a differently built Rom, not based on standard Samsung rom. I would post a link, but can't as new user. So flashing back or taking a rom based on Samsung would help.
Thanks for posting Sokarius. I am glad to hear I am not the only one with this problem.
I may back up my phone and give MIUI a try to see if that works. Other wise I may have to revert back to the stock firmware. I will be testing it more over the Holidays.
I can't believe I couldn't find this before. You're post hinted that a Google driver may be needed since CM uses the Google source.
Turns out CM has had a tutorial all along.
I followed it and everything is working now. Eclipse works great. My SGS2 is emulating again.

basically I can't seem too root my gs2, coming from a nexus one i thought it'd be easy
Looks like a driver problem, kies is installed (and not running) but odin connects to a port and then when start is clicked it doesn't progress any further. I presume its a driver problem so was wondering if anyone could link me a set of drivers that are known to work.
might be worth a mention that kies doesn't connect to my phone either,
I found some, but they wouldn't install over what I had, and then when i uninstalled everything and started fresh, they installed and then windows updated over them.
Any help would be greatfull!
i need help, i have tried everywhere and can't find anything and any help would be greatly appreciated
i'm on the road to root my samsung galaxy fascinate and have ran into a laundry list of problems. i have rooted many android phones coming from eclair, froyo, and gingerbread, but seem to be stuck at the slightest of problems when it comes to the fascinate.
i can not install the drivers to the fascinate. i have searched through the web for all the drivers and have tried every possible galaxy driver. the driver simply won't install on my windows 7 prof 64bit machine. i have never ran into this problem before with any other phone. every time i try to install the driver it gets to the very end of the install then pops up with the message "windows was unable to install the driver"
It also gave me the option to view the failed windows installation log, which after many successful steps, at the end the log shows this error:
Action ended 1:26:53: ShowMsiLog. Return value 0.
=== Logging stopped: 12/16/2011 1:26:53 ===
MSI (c) (0C:08) [01:26:53:750]: Product: SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones -- Installation operation failed.
MSI (c) (0C:08) [01:26:53:750]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones. Product Version: 1.3.550.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: SAMSUNG Electronics CO., LTD.. Installation success or error status: 1603.
i have also attached the entire log
the first thing i did was plug in the phone, which windows sensed this and automatically installed a driver, not sure which. after this i unplugged the phone and then checked "usb debugging" for rooting purposes and plugged the phone back into the computer which windows then installed another driver automatically, then following the steps from xda to root the phone, i downloaded the given drivers which is where the problem first occurred and the drivers were unable to download.
I'm simply trying to get root access to the phone and can't do anything with the phone with crappy drivers...i can't even mount usb sd card now to transfer data anymore. the drivers have completely been shot. i desperately need help. please
also what is the absolute easiest way to root the fascinate? is it with one click root or with Odin? Because the fascinate just updated itself from 2.2.2 EH05 to 2.3.5 EH03 and i'm not sure which program supports rooting which version of android. also all other android devices simply give root access to the stock rom, which is great cause i get to keep all my apps, messages, contacts...etc, then simply titanium backup everything and transfer it over to the new rom. is it different with the fascinate? will rooting the device simply flash a completely new rooted rom? therefore loosing everything? if anybody has any answers to any of these questions, please be my hero. thanks
Uninstall everything you previously installed in the way of Samsung drivers (in fact, you could use Windows 7 backup and restore to restore your PC to the state it was in the day before you installed the drivers as they are sometimes hard to uninstall completely). Reboot and simply plug your phone (with USB debugging of course), and let Windows automatically install the drivers for you like it did before you installed the ones linked to on XDA. This time, if your PC recognizes your phone, just keep the drivers you have and don't install the ones linked to. Those drivers from the guide are for those whose PC doesn't automatically install working drivers. From that point, just follow the rest of the guide and skip the install drivers part. You will not have to install any further drivers unless you flash an AOSP ROM, in which case you'll have to follow the instructions in the OP of the ROM thread. I hope this works for you.
Has anyone seen John Connor?
awesome thank you, i will try this out, and if this doesnt work i can always try another pc.
and as to the question of rooting the fascinate, like i said before i've never had a phone that has been wiped when i got root access initially, but it seems that everyone is saying that a rooted rom must be flashed from Odin in order to have root access. In other builds it seem that all is done is busybox and superuser are just pushed to the phone. will the fascinate be wiped when initial root is acquired?

root is not flashed via odin, rather cwm is...then the root file su_2.6.3.1 is flashed via cwm. If you need directions section 5 of my guide in general section has it covered...everything needed is there including the correct recovery and root file.
I will tell you what...the Fascinate is probably the biggest pain in the ass phone...I tried forever to root my friends and couldn't get it done...need to try again I guess, but it was a driver issue as well..ODIN just wouldn't recognize the dam phone
Use Droidstyles guide. Very easy to follow. Also, the USB cable for some reason seams to be a bit finicky at times with this device. Unplug from phone and replug. Sounds odd but trust me, I have done this many times.

I am having a problem too and it's not covered anywhere i've seen to date. I've got an XP and a Win7 box at home. On both, I've tried with no drivers and i've tried with every other driver set I can find and every time I hook the phone up to the machine it pops up saying USB device couldn't be recognized or something. I'm going nuts! I've never had so much difficulty in my life, not even the first time changing ROMs on anything.
Droidstyle- I've seen your guide and unless I missed it doesn't cover this. Have you seen or heard of this and have any ideas at all?
Thanks!
I tried connecting my Samsung S3 to my computer and it doesn't connect. I tried debugging also and it doesn't connect. I uninstalled drivers, installed GS3 Toolkit and nothing is happening. I know there are related posts but those posts are not for i9300 they are for verizion, at&t, etc. What can I do to fix this problem? Can it be something with the ROM? I am running CM10 Paranoid Android.

Download driver.
Download SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface Driver v2.9.503.726
Restart your pc..
If not it should be test a different cable, tries to change usb port
if it is not test a different pc.....
CM10?
Do you happen to be using CM10, nightly? As found this to be the problem, while it worked with stock and even the Omega 26 build of JB, it does not work with CM10 nighties, as no matter what the "MTP USB Device driver" can not and will not install, what is interesting is the exact same driver worked less than 24 hours earlier with omega and did not require a reinstall, so my guess is CM10 has broken this support in the current builds.
What I'd like is a generic MTP driver to see if that works.

I have found the answser to this: After one year of troubleshooting, Done all the steps before like you mentioned and notthing happened too.
So I deciced to back-up my S3 to on a mini SD card. After that I gave the phone a factory reset. The phone reloaded and pushed the software again to the phone. If you make the phone factory default make sure you have a hotspot in the neaberhood so you can connect on to the wi-fi.
Why the phone get its software through Wi-FI or 3G to get its software again and Wi-Fi is faster:cyclops:
After the phone is back to factory default follow the instruction on the phone. It's just like you have the phone new out of the box . When that's its done connect it to your laptop/pc and start KIES or what programming your are using to sync your S3 with your laptop/PC and voila it connects and works and when you managed to set your bacp-up back from your S3 you can even see it back in the KIES program. Well dudes I hope this was help full.

I bought the galaxy S3 (international) 2 weeks ago & I'm very happy with it. been using the omega rom for a week or so, with no complaints, finding it very fast and stable. I only have one problem with it, Kies app won't recognize the device when i connect it to the pc!
no error message or something, it just keeps trying to "connect", the device name don't appear at kies at any stage...
I made a massive search using google, followed every instruction available, but no success! just examples, I enabled USB debugging & connected the device so windows can reinstall drivers, drivers are not windows 7 drivers - made sure of that, tried every usb slot available, even tried a different pc, updated kies & so on.
how do i know the problem comes from omega rom? very simple, I restore the image of the stock rom & no problems there!
I don't have much apps, all the same on both roms: facebook+ messenger, gmail, youtube, whatsup, chrome, waze, skype, cerberus.
other then that, everything is perfect, so i see no reason to ditch omega rom. just hoping i can fix this problem, so it will be 100% perfect .

Bit of a daft question but why do you need kies? You can do everything kies can on the phone.

thats a good question, which i have no answer to .
I don't know, since it's Samsung's official app? but just to be clear, i don't need it at all? if so, problem solved
From experience it generally won't work with custom sw, best bet is to disable kies because all you really need from it is the drivers when you use unofficial sw.
Hi all
I'm stuck and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
When accessing get.cm they introduced met to the CM installer, installed it and downloaded the app on my GT-I9300 running CM10.2 M1 snapshot, changed the USB debugging settings and put USB in camera mode (like the app told me to do), but Windows 7x64 does not recognise the new driver and I cant seem to find one working. I have installed Kies and googled 7 sorts of goo out of it but nothing.
Now I cant check for new CM releases or download anything to test, please help the noob 8D.

U can download Ubuntu live cd and use it to flash roms or download the rom directly to your device (if you've already got cwm).
Everything I've read says you need to get rid of Kies from your system before doing any third party flashing since it can interfere. There is a file posted numberous places around here called Samsung Drivers or something like that which will install your drivers without Kies. I think alternatively you can install Kies, hook up your device in the mode you will be using, make sure drivers are installed, then remove Kies without selecting the remove drivers option and this will accomplish the same thing.
