I connected my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from T-Mobile to two different computes (XP and Windows 7) and both wanted drivers. After speaking with Samsung they said I needed to get a new unit because the default image was missing files. We ensured debugging was off and did several factory resets with no love. Windows XP just says Samsung_Android in device manager with an error. Just wondering if others have had this issue? Samsung said I could install their kies software but I dont want to install it on every system I use
Thoughts?

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?
[Solution]
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..

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".

Anyone else been having problems connecting to Kies?

Nope, worked fine for me first time. Make sure when you first install it you select Tools -> Install Driver. This will install the required USB driver on your system. It's not done automatically it seems.
Yes, Windows 7 x64. Worked on laptop no problem. Main PC. Same OS was a no go. Had a look around, it was to do with CDC driver not installing. This is related to the Samsung USB modem. Found separate Samsung USB drivers had been installed and were out of date and taking precedence over the new Kies install. Solution was to delete any thing Samsung related and start again. Voilà CDC installed just fine.
No problem on win 7 x64 with latest Kies .

Windows 7 x64 here too. So what does anything Samsung include? So how do I prevent the out of date drivers taking precedence?

Found the problem, Kies won't work when in debugging mode.
I have been attempting to connect my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to a Windows 7 (64 bit) PC and an OSX (Snow Leopard) Mac Mini to no avail.
I have downloaded every driver I could possibly find, uninstall, restart, install driver, restart and still nothing. I attempted two versions of Kies, even installing the driver through Kies. I have updated the galaxy tab using the August 5th OTA (United States) update but it still refuses to work.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Here try this: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/GT-P7510MAYXAB
It will provide download links for Kies 2.0 and the proper drivers for both mac and pc. Just click on where it says "software" right next to "manuals" on the website.

This is where I have been downloading the software + drivers.
I also tried uninstalling all AntiVirus programs. I also tried seeing if I could push to device in Eclipse, but no-go.
After spending some time with Samsung Customer Service, they decided to let me send it in for repair. They provide the shipping label (UPS), so I guess it's not that bad.
I'm using Win 7 64 bit and I can't seem to connect via Kies either, I've installed version 2 and the usb drivers and when I plug the Tab in via USB it pops up a 'usb debugging' message.
Surely this is just a software issue and shouldn't require the tab to be sent back to Samsung?
Edit:
I've just got it working, disable USB debugging did the trick. Info found here http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1/373613-galaxy-tab-10-1-cant-connect-kies.html
Any way to use Usb mass storage on a Mac? I can adb push, and use kies, but no USB mass storage.
All of a sudden my Galaxy S2 has started giving me the Error: Hardware ID Missing every time I plug it into my PC
It worked perfectly fine until today.
I have rebooted my PC
I have fully removed and reinstalled Kies
I have restarted the Phone (including removing the battery)
I have factory reset the phone
It does not pick up in Kies either
Phone otherwise works perfectly fine
We have 4 Samsung devices here:
My SGS2
My Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi P5110
My Wifes Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3G P5100
My Sons Galaxy Pocket
All pick up fine including in Kies except for my SGS2
Hi, got same problem after updated to new firmware. Kies only detected ext memory but not internal memory. Everything was fine before updated.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
ok flashed the firmware back to the current none rooted firmware for my supplier and that has not changed a thing either.
I seem to recall that kies updated itself this morning so it could be a glitch in that.

im guessing you have a windows pc?
samsung put out a driver update for the computer that caused the error.
only way i found to fix the problem is to do a system restore back a few days before the update.
my update was automatic, im going to see if i can stop that update from happening for now..
ic you can call samsung and make them aware like i did...
You can as well forget about kies altogether and your problem is all gone.
BTW I hate that terrible app called kies

For now i'll leave kies off until they fix it.

It's the fault of outdated Windows Update drivers for our phones.
Correct way of installing drivers if above error is present:
1. Disconnect phone from PC.
2. Uninstall Kies and drivers.
3. Download fresh copy of Kies from Samsung website.
4. Turn off Internet connection on PC <- important! This will force OS to look for drivers on PC first instead of Windows Update.
5. Install Kies, run it.
6. Connect phone to PC and wait for drivers installation.
7. Turn on Internet connection.
8. Done.

Can you be a little more specific in your instructions? The way you've ordered and worded the steps is really vague and does't make much sense, especially since the PC must be connected to the internet to install Kies. I'm also confused as to whether I'm supposed to uninstall the Kies on my phone as well, or leave it be.
EDIT: Retried the installer and everything worked perfectly, just make sure the internet is down before you plug in your device.
If you still have trouble with "Hardware ID Missing" I suggest the following:
1.Install the latest version of Kies.
2.Uninstall only the "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones".
3.Install the slightly older "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones.exe" version 1.5.6.0 from the from the following link:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=170044&t=4&i=1
Thanks a lot for the solution that was really hard to find. Worked for My Samsung Galaxy Note just in time for the new firmware update
Mine worked for a couple days and now is back again.

Just go into device manager plug the phone in and you should see Samsung drivers appear in usb section just uninstall them restart pc and fixed (you might have to connect your phone a couple of times to re install the right driver after reboot)

Are you running Kies along with the Samsung driver suite? Because they don't necessarily play nice together.

i am sorry i am not quite understand what is Samsung driver suite.
I just go to samsung website to get the latest KIES and download Driver 1.4.8.0 and 1.5.6.0 exe
hardware id missing shown after installing the latest KIES with the default driver 1.5.9.0
then i uninstall the driver from control panel and restart my computer
after that i install the driver 1.4.8.0 (or 1.5.6.0) (Oh. sorry I cannot confirm that the driver version right now as I am not @ home, )
then restart the computer again
before running the KIES
i plug my phone first and let the driver installed.
after driver installed , i remove my phone as usb drive
then i run KIES and plug my phone
Hi,
I have litterally looked everywhere before asking and none seem to awnser my issue that I'm having.
I have in the past managed to get my phone to connect on a Win 8.1 Machine, and I managed to root it. I also noticed today that my IMEI is Null/Void. However, when I've come to repair the efs my Phone will not connect anymore. No Drivers are actually installing, when I first plug the phone in I get no automatic driver install from Windows. I have installed the Samsung Mobile Driver V1.5.14.0, and also Kies Version 2. None of this seems to make a difference, I have tried pulling the battery, changed different cables and USB ports but doesn't matter if I reset or anything it won't pick the phone up all it will do is charge the phone.
I checked on USBDeView for the Drivers and even though I have run the Driver install's they do not appear to be installed on the list of drivers I have installed either under "Android,Google or Samsung".
Any help would be fantastic, and then after that I need to fix the Not Registered on Network Error! But one thing at a time!
