When i go into download mode with my samsung galaxy player 5 US versions rooted with superoneclick, My computer doesn't recognize it and only states its an unknown device. I downloaded the drivers already but still no luck.
Any help will be nice
So you have Kies installed and everything? Also, have you tried a different port? When all else failed, I just booted it up normally, and plugged it in until it told me all drivers were installed successfully, only then could I boot into download mode without issues. Also, is debug enabled? on?

I have tried everything you listed and nothing is working >.<
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies? Also have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers that come from the 5.0 when you first plug it into the usb? I remember when mine did this (it wouldn't even show up as a drive) I had to reinstall the drivers. Also make sure your 5.0 is in usb debugging mode too.

Whenever I plug in my phone to install the drivers so that my phone will be recognized by windows 7 x64, MTP drivers fail to install. If I start Kies, and try to connect it says "Devicemanager.exe has stopped working" and then my SGSII is just stalled in kies as "Connecting".
Any idea how to fix this???
...
I have now tried uninstalling kies and galaxy s2 drivers, reinstalling kies, downloading drivers from within kies, and then connecting the S2 via usb. The second sgsii gets recognized, same message "Devicemanager.exe has stopped working" and the kies "connecting..." loop.
...
No one can help? I want to unlock my SGS2 so I can use it, but I can't unlock it unless I root it, and I can't root it unless kies is working. Kies refuses to work.
...
Send halp soon!
Either Update your Windows and try again or try to connect in Safe Mode and see what happens.
...
I booted into safe mode, plugged it in while running kies. No more error, but still doesn't recognize. Booted back into regular mode, error returns, still no recognition
windows is up to date.
...
Things I have also tried:
reformatting the internal memory.
uninstalling/reinstalling drivers from phone
uninstalling/reinstalling drivers from kies
uninstalling/reinstalling drivers from phone w/ usb debugging on
transfering devicemanager.exe from another computer over my current kies installation.
I am totally stumped...

Try to re-install the Phone drivers (uninstall it first from Control Panel) and try to connect, in Safe Mode.
STOP using Kies and install a custom rom! I never ever installed Kies and my phone is completely up to date.
Use a different pc if you're so desperate. It seems your pc just doesn't like your phone.
Use kies air instead or use your phone as a mass storage device and don't waste your valuable time trying to fix that buggy, heavy and, in my opinion, useless software installed on your computer known as kies.
I had the same problem. I uninstalled Kies then disabled my firewall (Comodo) and reinstalled. Now it works fine.
So when i try to connect my galaxy to the computer nothing happens. i plug it in and it will start to charge but the phone will not have recognized the fact that it is connected to the computer and the computer doesnt even say "unrecognized device" how do i get the phone and omputer to recognize each other?
Did you install drivers for the phone? What operating system are you on?
yes i have. ive tried both osx and windows 7 and i have made sure to download teh drivers for each
Have you tried to connect it in usb debugging mode? (goto settings, applications, devlopment, check debugging mode?
(I dont know of it will help, but it would be the next thing I would try)
And try different usb ports. I have heard before that it can help.
yeah ive tried all of that it and still nothing, the switching usb ports too
Did you restart the computer after you installed drivers?
I would try installing Samsung Kies (from samsung website, GS2 support page). It also installs drivers and fixed a problem I had with connection.
If all these don't work, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. I am sure someone here with more experience will be able to help.
yeah haha ive done all of these unfortunately and still nothing, thank you for you suggestions though
Kies had an update within the hour of New years (Pacific).
I discovered this morning that USB debugging mode MUST BE OFF for Kies to recognize and connect to the phone. I'm currently backing up my device in this mode right now.
"Kies Air" also works well, without having to worry about any USB issues.
"Droid Explorer" connects fine with debugging turned on. I have to wait until backup is complete to see if it works with debugging turned off.
I'm having USB port issues right now, so your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem.Make a back up of your phone
and do a factory reset.
tried installing usb drivers sgain ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
try installing Kies?
Its ok i got it to work. Went into download mode and plugged into my PC and windows installed some drivers, Odin detected the phone just fine. Then i booted up into android like normal but switched to PTP mode, windows then installed the MTP drivers (though it was already installed) then after that all worked well again
Please help...
Im having the same problem. But nothing seems to work for me. Tried everything possible. Re-installed drivers, connected in download mode, installed Kies, reset to factory setting..ALL TO NO AVAIL. I keep getting 'USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned...' message...
The solution isnt always the same for all users.. Fortunately mine was fixed by a simple driver install. I remember browsing the internet and found out that there is a way to fix it but it requires simple adb commands and the Android SDK.
Hi All,
I am having an issue with my S4 that when I plug them into my computer I get USB device not recognized. I have searched the forum for the past 2 days trying all kinds of different solutions the major one was changing my USB/charging port board on my phone.
I need to ODIN my device to an MJ7 image. At first I got the error and did a factory reset through safestrap recover. Still got the error so I did an advance wipe of every option. (Looking back shouldnt have done that) That took away my recovery, but I can get to download mode, but its not detected by my computer to use ODIN with. So I am stuck without a custom recovery without the ability to boot into anything.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Reinstall/uninstall drivers, reinstall/uninstall kies.
2. Changed USB ports on computer.
3. Changed USB cables
4. Changed computers from Win 8 x64 to Win 7 x64.
5. Changed computer to my MACbook using Heimdall.
6. Changed USB charging port board on my phone.
7. Tried everything again. *Still doesnt detect it*
Any ideas that I havent done already, or how to fix? I do have nandroid backup of my ROM, but dont have a custom recovery to flash it.
Cant ODIN back cause its not detected by my computer. Thanks in advance for your help.
Is USB debugging still checked on phone? You must use the USB cable provided with phone...

Thanks for the reply. I cant select USB debug on my phone because my phone does not boot into the main OS, it is stuck at the samsung custom padlock screen. The USB debug option was on when the OS was installed though. My phone will only boot into stock recovery and into download mode. I tried to use the original USB cable provided with the phone as I read this could be the problem, but I tried 4 other ones too and phone still gets detected as "Unknown Device" in device manager, so ODIN cant even see phone in download mode to restore. I have tried to install KIES and the Samsung Mobile phone drivers 1.5.x.x drivers. Just read somewhere where someone had this issue and installed Samsung mobile phone driver v1-4-6-0 so I am trying that now.

Tried Samsung Mobile phone drivers version 1.4.6.0 and still the same outcome "USB device not recognized". I went down to a local electronics store and bought two different brand microUSB data cables. Tried them both along with my original one from samsung, and still the same result. Any other ideas??
Anyone else have any ideas? Thinking of sending it in and having it JTAG'ed back to stock. Can anyone recommend any services? Heard mobiletechvideos is good.

I have been fighting this for awhile now. My phone boots up just fine, and I am able to charge it through USB, but I cannot get Windows to recognize it. I have tried multiple ports, checking and unchecking MTP and PTP in settings, enabling and disabling ADB, and even putting the phone in download mode. LGNPST won't even recognize it in download mode. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Does anybody have a suggestion? I'm currently running CWM 6.0.4.7 and CM 11. Thanks in advance for any help.

Had same problem with my laptop. I installed the correct drivers but still, nothing. Might want to try a different pc to see if the problem is the phone or the pc.
I have a similar problem here at work. We all use Win7 PCs. Mine has the LGOG driver package installed and despite all efforts to install, etc my LGOG only charges. The notice window appears announcing that drivers are being installed, but then it fails.
When I go to my neighbor's pc, that doesn't have the driver package installed the notice window appears, says searching and installing drivers and I can see my phone in explorer. I can't explain but a different pc is a solution.
