Hi guys,
Please help me out. I'm about to pull my hair out!!
I installed Kies and the USB drivers, but everytime I try to USB tether, Windows 7 fails to install the driver. I tried uninstalling the Samsung drivers on the computer where it won't work, but it still won't install.
The weird thing is that I plugged in the phone into another computer also running win 7 and that computer easily found the right driver and installed it. Didn't need to install Samsung drivers.
What happens is the driver is downloaded, tries to install, then gives me an error. I attached an image of the error I get. Any advice would be appreciated!
There's a program called driver magician that allows you to take and save a driver off one computer and restore it in another.
If you don't go that route you can always leave the phone plugged in and open hardware manager. Then delete your phone. When it asked choose to delete the driver with it.
Then try it again.

Thanks. That didn't work, but I figured it out!
For anyone who has a similar problem with installing a driver, open up setupapi.dev.log in notepad which is located in c:\windows\inf -- it's kind of a labyrinth to navigate, but I found that I was missing a file which it was looking for. I then found that file on another computer, put it into c:\windows\inf and it worked. There were two missing files actually, usb8023x.sys and rndismpx.sys. Took me all day but finally got USB tethering working.
Unfortunately wifi tethering doesn't work (no internet connection) -- anyone get that?
Nice work.
Never had issues with wifi tethering. Have you made any changes to your phone? Root, rom, ect?

I'm on stock ROM but I did root it to delete the tetheringmanager apk
When I was on stock I did that too with no issues. Try downloading a tethering app from the market like barnacle and see if that makes a difference.

Im so saaad! i think its all my fault.. i copied everything from my galaxy s2 storage over to my new xperia s.. and now it doesnt recognize the phone so i can transfer files..
what should i do ? please help!
btw the phone is just awesome! wauw!
I would also like to know how to properly mount the storage to a PC so that it is recognised as a Mass Storage Device rather than a MTP connection..?
Its so annoying not being able to see thumbnails of the pictures/videos you are trying to access..its also annoying that the PC has to spend time on downloading the files before playing rather than streaming straight from the storage.
Anyone have any ideas? plz..
Rather than starting a new thread I just used this one..thx in advance
When you connect the phone, on notification bar should say Internal storage connected. When you go to My Computer you should see Other section, where new device come up, called... Xperia S. Double click on it, so it goes to Internal storage. Again, double click and... you can see internal content. Hope it helps.
Same thing happened to me.... Today onwards time n again seeing a mtp driver failed issue when connecting to my win7 laptop. It wad working fine earlier. When I switch off n restart the device,it installs driver correctly and autoplay option comes up to open the xperia s device. However when I click on open folder, I dont see any folders in my xperia s phone. Hence no file transfer is possible. How can I get my phone working again?
I tried to do pc system restore... Since it was working yesterday...but that didnt solve the issue either. Any ideas?

Do you use different USB ports? Try to stick to only one. I still have XP and mine is always working, so this is definitely PC and windows issue.
I have a Win7 64bit Home Premium edition VAIO.
when I first got the phone, I could use it to connect to PC Companion. It would also show up as a storage device automatically, and using the same I had copied over music and pictures.
However, after 2 days of use, I noticed, my phone was no longer being identified as a device. Also, it gets a Code 10 - Device cannot be started error when I look into the driver details.
I tried to reinstall the MTP driver, but it never gets installed successfully. It always gives a driver failed to install error.code 10.
I can still connect my WD hard disk and other usb devices.
I saw somewhere in the Forum someone had described that I needed to uninstall and reinstall WMP to make this work. Didnt work
I downloaded the Windows DEK to ensure that all the drivers gets reinstalled, that didnt help either.
I also restored my laptop back to factory setting......still no luck with the fresh install.
So, here I am with a phone where I cant connect the device to move in OR out music/pictures etc.
The problems are:
1) MTP driver gives an error while installation. I tried to manually select the MTP USB driver and isntall it. That didnt work either.
2) When I connect SEUS, with the phone restarted by holding the volume button SEUS identifies the phone and shows me that there are no updates. Not sure if SEUS can be used for exploring the phone. Most probably NO.
3) PC companion tries to find the phone. It says it may take few minutes to identify the phone if it has lots of files. After that the operation fails suggesting that PC companion could not find the phone.
I restarted both the phone and my device several times......did not work.
I uninstalled the MTP and USB drivers and restarted and got them reinstalled........didn't work either.
Any idea on what needs to be done?
I have tried all the ports and a different USB cable as well.
I even tried changing settings of the usb port as described in the below link..
Nothing worked
Is it possible to get the Sony specific drivers from somewhere?
Hi has this problem been solved. I have two computers, the win 7 one installed fine but it refuses to work on the xp one.
any help?

I've got the same problem, but you can still use MyPhoneExplorer from
.fjsoft.at
to access your phones data. please also read the forum, because it needs an app on your phone too.
fjsoft.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11454
Also I've called with the xperia help line about a driver pack, but there aren't any lose available, exept what is in SEUS or PC Companion, but they don't work for me.
Can also some tell me if SEUS also will provide the new firmware 6.0.A.3.67? because SEUS tells me that my phone is uptodate, but I still have 6.0.A.3.62.
Install the latest version of media player, that worked for me.
Try connecting phone in Debug mode. On first time MTP driver installation will fail too but after that disconnect phone, disable Debug mode in phone and connect. Now it should working.
If will not working then go to Device manager on your PC, find "Mobile devices", select something with MTP in name, right click and choose "Uninstall". Disconnect phone, connect again and now it should working.
Worked for me!
Hurray! I fixed it on my computer WinXP sp3. I did everything with MTP bla bla winmedia11 even dev kit MTP = No fix.
go to Settings-> apps-> handle apps-> all-> MtpApp <open it.
Clear data and cache. (restart phone if you want)
plug the phone in USB and wait.. the scanner/camera thing comes up.
Right click on This computer (my computer?) chose "Handle" -> device manager -> scanners and printers-> right click on the "phone" -> settings -> device driver-> update.
Chose let windows search for XXX and voila MTP device driver found and installing.
(I'm using Swedish interface so the names of step might be wrong )
I can confirm that delete data / cache on MTP App indeed solved the problem. Thanks
Hi xda,
I am glad to be here and to know this site, almost for masters! (which I am not)
Guys, I just want to know if anyone have or had my same issue with the bluetooth when I connect my HTC HD2 to my PC for listening the music, same like in the car.
No matter which ROM I installed, T-Mobile 3.14, Custom or any stock I can't connect via Stereo Audio to my pc.
I can transfer files, I can navigate into my HD2 via bluetooth BUT when I try to connect via Stereo Audio it fail, please see the attachment.
I also can't use audio via Hands-free, practically I do everything but without Stereo Audio.
I already installed update for my bluetooth on my PC.
I try to fix this problem all month and I realized the problem are the drivers on my phone (or ViceVersa ), because if I use Android with my HTC HD2 it works.
I use most of the time WM 6.5 and I want to connect to my car stereo or PC via bluetooth to listening the music but I have this problem.
Nothing helped me jet and I do not find any fix of any kind so my question is if there is any fix for this problem?
Please help, I appriciate if some one can help me.
Thankx.
..no solution? :crying:
No fix at all? Why?
:crying:
Uhaaa, Uhaaa, uhaaaaaa :crying:
Will look at this when I got a free moment as I use to connect my HD2 via BT to a USB BT dongle on work notebook which worked via a headset profile ... Will test when I got time & report findings if seems relevant to your stereo audio issue ...

oh, Mister B, I start to like you!
This issue was wrote some where and few people know about it but nobody said how to fix this.
I used my old HTC Diamond 2 via bluetooth to listening music on my laptop with speakers but somehow with HD2 it is impossible, and supposed to be "newer" than diamond.
I can connect stereo audio with my HD2 after run Android, so basicly this issue is some driver or something like that in my ROM.
To be sure I also tried Stock ROM and 3 different ROM and All of them have this issue. I just don't know where to look.
I can live with this but I can't believe there is no fix for this, that's why I can't slipping in the night!
Let me know.
Cheers.
I just want to say this, I use all the time Windows Mobile 6.5 and sometime Android, so I will be glad if this issue will be solved on my WM6.5......
Problem with HD2 BT was mainly due to change of BT stack manufacturer thus a few new driver issues that never really got worked out fully.
Once I got some time free & am at my work PC I will run through it & see what results I get.
I'm on WM6.5.3 as in signature ...
Well I put work on hold & had a play, works fine for me on 6.5.3 & windows 7 Notebook with built in BT module.
I got same initial issue as you with 1 driver error, I tried correcting from device manger by checking windows update with no result & then manually searched whole of C:\ drive for driver with no result.
I then looked in folder with our HD2 files (company using over 20 HD2s at present) & found Bluetooth driver zip file.
unzipped them to desktop & went back into device manager & manually searched driver, got disc option & choose inf file on desktop & it installed fine.
reconnected bluetooth between HD2 & Notebook via bluetooth options on HD2 & selected stereo audio & then tested by selecting some music to play on my HD2 ...
Result was some rather loud music blasting out of the notebooks rather good Altec Lansing speakers & my Boss fully aware of my poor work ethics :-S
Couple of screen shots below & the bluetooth driver files in a zip archive.
May take a bit of messing around to get driver installed or perhaps deleting any current Bluetooth partnership & starting new but result should be worth it
Picture shows ActiveSync connected which it was via WMDC at time, I also tested again just via BT Stereo Audio & no activesync & all working as should so far :-S

Sorry but this time I am unlacky.
I did like you said. First of all I uninstalled all bluetooth drivers and devices from my lap. I rebooted and the pc compleated the reinstall of basic bluetooth option with no error. So I put on desktop the zip file which you give me and I extract the driver to a folder. I connected the phone via bluetooth and like all the time I got the error of the peripherial drive missing. So via Device Manager I finded the Bluetooth Peripherial Device and I manually selected to Update the driver, Browse my computer, Let me pick up...., Have a disk, Install from disk, and I browse to the folder where I extract the driver from your zip and I can't install it. See the attachment.
I got Windows 7 with WMDC, my bluetooth hardware on laptop is Broadcom, my HD2 rum WM 6.5.
I don't know what is going on with this stuff.....
PS: I hope you do not risk your position at work to have fun with this stuff....
Windows 7 32 bit or 64 ?
I would perhaps update your WMDC if not the last build ...
Maybe check for specific drivers for your broadcomm BT from manufacturer website ...
Also checking way you try installing driver as error looks like it unable to find the .cat file rather than a compatibility issue ...
It does work so you can have some hope but perhaps some BT stacks have more issues !
Works on 3 Notebooks I tested so far: HPdv2535, Lenovo thinkpad & ideapad s205 ...
* Still have a job so no worries

Windows 7 32bit,
the WMDC is update already and work fine,
the manufacturer Broadcom webside do not update or fix the driver for my hardware Broadcom, I allredy did and I downloaded the app to update the Broadcom hardware and the app saing "We can't update your hardware" I said WHAT? F..k you! I read about this somewhere and the responsibility is the manufacturer of my laptop, SONY, so for all of them there is not any issue with this hardware bluetooth, and I think they are right.
.cat file is not on the list because when I serching for the driver, the only one which the hardware need is .inf, .inf is linked to .cat, if this link in your driver, which you give me, is broken or lost, I can't do anything about it. I got only this two files, .inf & .cat.
What I think, like I said few post before, is not the problem of my laptop (Sony Vaio FW21M) but is with the drivers into the HD2, because when I use Android no problem at all. If my laptop was the problem I will never connect anything via stereo audio via bluetooth.
Also you do not mentioned which ROM you using on you HD2, is not the same as mine so there will be the difference. The difference is into the ROMs.
Probably this issue have to be forced via registry or via .cab with some fix or driver but no luck at all at the moment and I can't believe is just ME.
PS: Thanks for help me anyway! I allredy clicked on thanks for you!
..and please, if you find something for my case, please, let me know ASAP!
My ROM is as in signature & is quite an old one.
Only 2 files should be in that driver update so that fine but fact you got error message that not found during install attempt could indicate an error on manual install technique perhaps.
Your HD2 ROM could have some influence on it but your initial one missing driver durring initial BT pairing is same as I seen on all HD2 WM6.5 I used & once driver install on PC/Notebook you good to go ... If I find anything new I will post it ASAP
If you find the fix post it as will be interested ...

Well, my is much older, CRACING WM 6.5 OS 21889,
Ok, so this error during the installation is weird? or is a manual installation techniques isssue :angel:, so it's me.
Can you, pleasee, explain to me step by step how to do the update of the driver from your zip, pleasee...
I want try again, I can't give up! Perhaps I did something wrong.
I unzipped the 2 files direct to desktop but you may want to try putting them directly in root of C:\
Then in Device Manager selected the BT missiing driver item with error icon then: Update driver > browse my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk (button) > Browse (button) & search & select the inf file & proceed through prompts as needed to install.
The cat file must be in same directory as inf.
May be worth pausing any Anti-Virus software to eliminate it from possible cause of issue, Norton being one that causes huge amount of issues .
If still have issues consider downloading latest W7 bluetooth driver package from your laptop manufacturer & reinstall & do same for WMDC.
You could also look at this thread perhaps as may help :-S

I did all what you said and all the same, my anti-virus is fine and the file still in the folder and also I put them in C:\,
Always the same error.
Few weeks ago I also saw the forum about this issue and I try to follow the instruction from the webside, same which you give me, but like many I do not have "Microsoft Corporation" on the list of drivers with "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support". (and I do not have AMD, but Intel)
And there is no highest update of WMDC 6.1, still all the same last version.
My drivers of my laptop much udated than now can't be.
Ok, I give up, this stupid Scientists and Engineers made Hi-End stuff whit issues and no solution for it.
We can't do nothing about it.
Problem solved!
If any one had and have right now this problem and need a solution this is the right place!!
I find the solution, was the Mobile Radio 2.15.xx.xx_x.
Yes, I solved the problem after months of pain and tests.
I downgrade the radio to 2.08.50.05 and all working now, from first play, even Android, amazing.
Thanks for all the support.
For some weird reason I am unable to access files via Android File Transfer with usb cable. I never had any such problems with any other android device before. I just flashed S6 rom and still have same problem. Did anyone else face this? Any solution? Thanks.
/S
I'm having the same problem on my MacBook, but not my iMac. Both are on Yosemite 10.10.3. I have USB debugging enabled and all that, and still can't get Android File Transfer to work. I've toggled it to get it to reauthorize this mac, but still no luck. I'm going to have to play with the MacBook. On the iMac, I did have to complete remove Android File Transfer and all of it's preference files, reboot, reinstall AFT, and reauthorize the mac to get it working. I'm thinking since I have more users on my MacBook, that may have something to do with it, so I need to dig in both user files. I'll report back
Also, I can't use ADB. I'm getting that the device is offline on both macs.
i am having same issue with.
installed smart transfer and still same issue
Hi.
LeEco 2 Max (4/32).
ROM: ResurrectionRemix-MM6.0.1TeaMSpaiN-LeMax2
Rooted.
USB connecting is working (works transferring photos [PTP], works battery loading).
But I can't add other files (music etc.) from computer to LeEco.
I checked on other laptop: works fine. So problem is in my laptop (Asus), maybe with drivers.
What should I install to fix it?
"AdbDriverInstaller" doesn't see the device also (in every mode).
Do You have any ideas?
It isn't important problem, you don't need to fix it.
Not important for You, important for me. That is why I am reading about this, right? Not for fun.
Problem is important: I can't copy music or audiobooks on device.
If You can't or don't want to help, don't help. Easy.
Did you already solve the problems? there should be an option to update the Android drivers by plugging the device several times in. That's at lest how I've installed my Le Max 2 for the mtp process. After those drivers have been installed automatically, my laptop recognized the phone withoit a problem
No, I didn't.
You're right it should be automatically (like on my other machine).
But here I have problem. On Huawei Ascend P6 I knew I should install HiSuite and for few hours everything will be OK.
But not here.
Maybe do You know something like HiSuite for Huawei but for LeEco?
I don't know if it would help, but when you connect the phone to the laptop, go to device manager and uninstall the driver found for the device, then unplug and plug again. The driver should come automatically, at least in theory, and hopefully the good one.
I need to say that I've had an issue similar to your long time ago and it was due to windows. After reinstalling windows again, the problem was solved. I know now nobody does this, but at that time, this is what helped.

The same thing is happening to me...
I plug the mobile to a pc (windows 10, windows 7 and kali linux) by usb and it's only capable of charging; neither MTP, nor ADB, nor OTG...
Heyyo @zaroc, is that with TWRP or a ROM? Please provide which versions they are
