Hey all,
I've searched through forums for an answer but nothing has been of help yet. I've been unable to connect my tablet with my pc for a while. I tried reinstalling the drivers, using another pc, even I updated to official R5 via recovery, thinking it would solve the problem. However not only it didn't solve it, I'm also stuck now without root. Strange enough, the pc recognizes the tablet when on recovery, but nothing happens during normal startup, no popups or anything. And I couldn't root it while on recovery. So what would you advice? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

What Operating system and did you install the drivers?

I'm currently using Windows 7 64bit and reinstalled the drivers several times. The other pc I tried connecting to is Windows 7 32bit.

Strange, is the tablet on MTP mode while connected to the PC?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Strangely, there isn't even an option to set it to MTP. There are no USB options at all.

I had this problem too. I could not enable debugging it would always default back to unchecked. A factory reset actually worked for this issue.
Tried drivers etc.
Was annoyed that was only option left. But it worked.

Hi,
Thanks for this andyabc. Helped me a lot.
On my windows 7 64bit PC the tablet all the time showed up as MTP device, but did not work at all. (ADB is working all the time) I could not get the drivers to work. MTP is a M$ invention, it is supposed to work out of the box since Vista.
Funny enough it did work on other PC's, so I assumed it's a problem with my PC. I was just so annoyed that there is no way to change this to any other setting not even PTP, just to copy my pictures at least. I have the same Android version on my Mobilephone, since the setting was on another spot on my phone, I simply assumed there is no way to set it on the sony tablet.
I've been working to solve this for almost 3 weeks by now
Then I saw your post.
First I changed it to PTP. Dis- and re-connected USB, and voila at least PTP worked. Then I changed this back to MTP and OH-MY-GOD-WAS-I-SUPRIZED to see that MTP NOW also works !
MAN THANKS, A LOT !!!
Thats what I do

I have noticed that some ROM's will enable debugging, I personally run a MAC. But you may want to check those settings to see if its enabled/disabled. But if your charging on it you should be good. Have you tried to odin back to stock and seeing if that helps?
Other thing: do you have the samsung drivers installed on your PC? even if you don't you should still see the external storage just not the internal.

What rom are you using? If you are running one of the test CM7 builds you have to download the Google drivers from the Android SDK.
Does your phone show up when you mount it as external memory? Did you install the drivers and kies as an administrator?
exact same scenario!
I am having the exact same issues as the OP! Except that i have the unbranded gt-i9000. My galaxy s is completely stock, no custom firmware or launchers. Heck, after the last factory reset, not even any apps!
I have tried every suggestion on every search i could do. I have 4 computers with xp sp3, win7 sp1, ubuntu 10.04.1, and mac os x 10.5.8. Nothing is working on any of them. I've even tried different usb cables, just to rule that out.
Could it be a samsung hardware issue?
Hello, I'm trying to connect my s5830 to my PC; Phone and computer beep like they are working, but it keeps giving me a "USB device Not Recognized" message. (it does charge by the way)
As per my previous research, this is what i've tried so far:
- On other computers, windows 7 and xp, same message.
- replaced usb cable, same message.
- factory wipe, same thing.
- cache wipe, wont run(?) - maybe this is a clue?
Its running on stock 2.2.1 firmware with no mods, not even extra apps. I actually have another s5830 (from a friend) and it works fine when i connect it to my home computer (windows 7) or my laptop (windows xp)
Any ideas of how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
Delete your drivers, reinstall kies and reconnect.

Just tried that, no luck,thanks for the advice.

Delete the usb driver, uninstall kies then restart your pc.
After restart, dont plug your phone to the pc yet. Install kies.
After installing kies, plug your phone and let kies detect it.

No luck...maybe something is wrong with the phone itself?

Just CONNECT to another USB port.
If its not helping and like I see you have same problem with other PC-s too, then I think its your phone HARDWARE problem. Bring it to SAMSUNG service.
CHEERS!
Thanks, im going to take it tomorrow to see about getting it fixed.

I'm facing the similar problem too. Kies on my pc couldn't detect my SGA. N there's no "usb connection" n " usb debugging" icon appear on my SGA. What actually is the problem?
I had this problem after upgrading kies the solution was inside kies under tools there is a install driver option kies then loaded what I presume are newer drivers and it worked
i tried install driver for a few times. the problems remain unsolved! i connect my SGA to pc, the only thing it can do is charging...

My seem irrelevent... but you may want to check your permissions for USB... may be the USB permission has been turned off.
Try using any externel drive see if it works.

So, trying to install the driver exe file from Samsung's website and it won't work. Keeps saying that it failed to install drivers. And, if I have the phone as USB Debugging enabled, it'll pop up with 2 out of 4 that says it failed to install.
My roommate was able to install the .exe file on his Windows 8 beta laptop (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit) without a problem. And, the phone installed fine on his laptop as well. For me, no.
If USB Debugging is not enabled, then yeah, the phone is fine. But, since I want to root this thing, it won't accept the drivers. And, nowhere on Google, searching or Samsung's website provides me any answers whatsoever.
I've done:
Going through regedit and deleting all things Samsung related
Deleted every Samsung folder on my hard drive
Rebooted the computer
Uninstalled the drivers
Reinstalled multiple times
Downloading and installing Kies (did not install any drivers, still failed)
I've done everything I can possibly think of. Couldn't find any answers on here, either. And, doesn't help that the search function is broken.
So, anyone have any idea on how to fix this? And, please do not say "Reinstall Windows" because that's just ridiculous and I shouldn't have to do that for a simple phone driver install. I had my Epic 4G before and that all went smoothly.
Go do something in control panel and uninstall the samsung drivers that you already have on your comp
Then try installing
But I reccomend reinstalling windows

I had the same issue with mine on xp. Uninstalled my et4g drivers and installed the gs3 drivers. After a restart, the pc finally recognized my phone as a mass storage.

And, I'm not reinstalling Windows all over again just for this phone, as I also said. But, it doesn't matter, I already got it rooted through the roommate's laptop.
EDIT: I managed to get it to work. My other half had similar problems with device drivers so just had to have me remove the phone from USB, uninstall driver and then plug the phone back in. And, it actually worked.
For the past few months I've been having problems with my Wifi/3G Tab 10.1 in that it can't be recognised at all by my laptop or my spare laptop in any Explorer-type program or Explorer itself.
I've tried everything that I can think of to fix the problem and just when I thought I'd fixed the problem in that the USB Hardware eject icon is showing up for when you want to remove it safely, the drives aren't showing up now in Explorer or Q-Dir at all!
Frankly, this is bloody pissing me off especially as I need access to the device to recover some files from it, so how can I fix this problem (I can't wait to buy a Transformer Pad Infinity or its next version as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 must be one of the few Samsung devices that I don't like!) as it's got some ebooks and other files that I forgot to transfer to my laptop before I screwed up by deleting certain folders by mistake.
If you have toggled usb debugging with no results the its most likely a driver issue on your computer. An easy work around for now would be to install Airdroid to be able to transfer files off wirelessly.
As for the driver issues what exactly is "everything"? Have you made sure to completely uninstall all Android device drivers? If so how did you do so?
I would recommend using something like usbdeview to uninstall all Samsung and other android devices, then I would reboot and attempt installing again with USB debugging off.

When I previously uninstalled the device drivers, I did so via the device driver option (my OS being Windows 7) available via the Control Panel.
I'll try your advice as well concerning Airdroid and usbdeview.
Don't get me wrong, I love Android as a OS, but when it comes to viewing partitions via a computer, it's just as much a pain in the ass as it is to view an iOS device.
EDIT: I downloaded and am using usbdeview right now and it's saying that the Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device (in this case, my Galaxy Tab 10.1) is connected properly but has no drive letter at all.
Uninstall it using that program with the tablet disconnected, reboot the PC, verify that the tablet is not in USB debug mode and then reconnect it.
Failing all this, repeat the process but prior to reconnecting do a clean install of kies.
By the way, your frustration is understood but its not like the grass is always greener on the other side. I have a nexus 7 that has MTP broken right now due to the latest 4.2 update.

I followed your instructions and it didn't work the first time even though I used usbdeview to uninstall the drivers.
I then reinstalled Kies after rebooting and even though the drivers were installed properly, the device still doesn't show up in Explorer or Q-Dir at all like before.
I am at a loss as to how to help you further. If the tablet is running fine and USB doesn't work with or without USB debugging enabled then it is either a cable issue, port issue or driver issue.

I guess I'll just have to wait until I can get my other laptop fixed to see if I can recover the files from the tablet via Recuva.
In any case, thanks for your help in the meantime as it's most appreciated!
Hello, usually don't have much issues with this sort of thing as I have decent experience with this.
I'm stuck on this particular issue though as my phone is in a constant boot loop. I was planning on just reflashing a ROM on to the device, but in the bootloader or recovery my pc will not detect the device at all so I am unable to run fastboot or adb commands on it. I have tried this on 3 pc's(2 Windows 8.1 and 1 Windows 7).
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Windows 8 & 8.1 will not work. I used the DNA toolkit on a Windows XP laptop to get my phone out of the bootloop (when you were using the Windows 7 computer, were you using the USB 2.0 port? It's been mentioned in many posts that USB 3.0 will not work). Don't use the drivers from HTC SYNC, the proper drivers are here on XDA (just Google it).
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA running KICKDROID Sense 6/4.4.2 ROM via Tapatalk
Yes it was on USB 2.0. Drivers won't do me any good if device manager won't even detect the device is plugged in to begin with. That is the issue is I have no way to flash a new ROM because I can't even get device manager to pickup that the device is plugged in on any computer.
Until I switched to a Windows XP computer, my phone wasn't recognized either, no matter how often I updated the drivers.
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA running KICKDROID Sense 6/4.4.2 ROM via Tapatalk
You can't update the drivers for a device though until it detects there is a device there. There shouldn't be any issue with Windows 7 being able to detect a DNA.
I never had an issue with this until now and now I'm just stuck in either a boot loop or going into recovery.
I would be willing to to try XP for the fun of it when I get an opportunity, but don't feel it is necessary.
If I do a factory reset from CWM Recovery I can get into Cyanogenmod and go through the initial setup steps. After that it sits at a black screen, but I can drag the notification drawer down and get into the settings. Only have a minute or two before it reboots back into a boot loop.
Surely there has to be some way to fix this...
I managed to get it to stay on. Here is what I did to transfer a new ROM over. Since all I could access on the phone was the settings I changed a locksceen slider to the Play Store and installed AirDroid. I then transferred the file over through AirDroid.
I am about to flash it now. If this installs fine and clears up the boot loop issue then I guess that issue is fixed, but that still doesn't solve the problem with my device not connecting to the PC through USB.
Okay I managed to finally get a new ROM to flash over after some issues with the ROM zip itself. It flashed and said updating apps 77/77 and restarted and its been sitting at the boot logo for 10 minutes.
Still never got it to detect USB connection on PC either.
I don't have a single clue what to do now. Am I just out of luck at this point?
Okay I know I have flooded this with messages, but I have Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 on there and it seems to be working fine. I can reboot and it goes back into Android without a boot loop from what I can tell.
USB still does not work even within Android though. Is there an issue with the hardware itself? It charges fine.

Is MTP checked or USB debugging enabled? If not you need to check them both
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium HD app
Yes both of them are checked.
Have you tried downloading pdanet that will reinstall adb asking with other drivers
Sent from my HTC6600LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes I have. Still should allow normal file transfer without it and also at the very least device manager should detect it. I think I am just out of luck on this. At least it can still charge.
On the Win 7 machine, are you sure that USB port is good? Sorry no one asked that simple question.
Also, have you tried cleaning your micro USB port?

Yes, like I said other devices work fine on PC and also have tried it on 4 different computers. I also cleaned the port.
