back to win from osx, and I have a quick question
Are there drivers I need to install on my win 7sp1 machine, so that when I plug my phone into my computer, my phone will show up as a device, and allow me to browse the files on my internal and external cards?
On my osx, I never had to install drivers, and, if memory serves me correct, there are drivers you need on a win 7 machine, in order to browse the phone, and to transfer stuff via USB..
thanks, and let the ball busting begin!
Yes there are USB drivers for windows 7. They can be downloaded from the stickied thread on rooting. Unix and Linux require very few if any third party drivers. Just one more aspect of Unix that Apple takes credit for.

one question; do you have to be on a touchwiz rom for the mtp driver to initialize?
I downloaded a driver, installed it, and it didnt find the device properly; I tried a different cable, it found the device, started to auto download a driver, started to install it, then got the red X, saying MTP driver did not initialize..
I am using an AOSP rom, and I dont think MTP is included in them...
thanks again!
For stock Touch Wiz you DON'T need to install any drivers yourself on windows 7 for the MTP to function. Those drivers are built in to windows 7 and will install when you plug your phone in and you have it set to function as an MTP device. I would bet that vista and XP are the same. Now drivers are needed for other functions but not for the transferring of files by USB.
If you are having issues then either your drivers on your pc are corrupt or your ROM does not support MTP the way that the stock ROM does.
Thanks; turns out all I had to do was download Samsung Kies, and that installed what it needed to make it work perfectly!

No guarantees, but have you tried downloading the android sdk and choosing to install the usb drivers?

On this one i think i installed all them the issue here is that when i plug my phone it let me know that new hardware has been found then it starts with the installation some will install but i think there is one or two the just sit searching but nothing happens and then i try to closed out but it freezes up on me and when i turn off debugging then it closes out but if i try to install them with debugging off nothing comes up.
another thing i used my phone with acomputer runnig windows 7 and it worked so im guessing its a prblem with xp
I think pdanet has the drivers when you install it if you don't know how to manually add them.

I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me...
When you plug your phone in via a usb cable, you will see a Verizon Mobile drive pop up on under "My Computer"
If you open it, there is a folder in there called DRV. There is a file called something like WM_driver installer. I installed that.
Then I go to my phone chose to connect as a disk drive (I have mine set to charge only by default).
Then I click on my removable disk and I can see my phone's data then.

Not that I'm aware of. Try getting in touch with Samsung and asking them. The only other alternative is to do a before and after snapshot of your registry and see what gets installed when you install the drivers using Kies.
USB drivers application in the Kies program folder in win 7 just copy it .

I have installed Samsung USB Drivers manually and also tried Kies to install the newest drivers, but my Samsung Galaxy S3 still isn't recognized by my computer. What can I do?
EDIT: It only works sometimes, so when I plug it out and in like 10 times, maybe I'm lucky and it will connect once.

I have the same problem. My VSGS3 works with my W8 laptop but not my W7 desktop (at all). The only thing I can assume that it would be is MTP issues with Truecrypt (my desktop is encrypted). I cannot get it to work at all.
take a look at this thread...

Really???? S3 Not Recognized?
Maybe I missed something in this thread but is this really the case??? The S3 cannot be recognized as a USB storage device by Windows? I accidentally left my SD card out and now have videos I need to transfer to PC, but cannot via email or any other means I can find. Anybody have a solution? I have installed the Samsung drivers but still not recognized . . . HELP!!!

You can use MTP mode to copy the files to the computer.
The device will appear with a phone-logo in 'My Computer'
Just plug Samsung USB cable into USB port on a PC with the Samsung USB drivers installed and cut and paste as many GB as you want .SD Phone or EXT SD card via Windows Explorer as normal .

This problem is quite depressing Has a restore fixed it for anyone?
I use mac OSX and after searching for a month or so, I couldnt find a solution to connect via USB. So now I use 'Air Droid' app from Play Store. Its pretty good and simple!! Plus, you can do alot more stuff like send or read SMS from PC.. Dont need to connect via USB anymore
I found that installing that rootkit installed the drivers to connect via USB - didnt root it just installed it for the drivers. THANKS!
I am having the same problem.
My Galaxy S3 charges when connected to computer via USB.
But is not detected in USB Debugging or regular mode.

You must know what windows you use, 32 bit or 64 bit? Download Kies through Samsung website, make sure got right software.

If you are using x64 Windows 7 this will EXE file can be found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver\SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
back this up and then you can remove KIES. This is all you need to have your phone connected without ever really needing KIES.
Or you can use the driver provided by the TOOLKIT that MSKIP has designed (thanks - love it).
Cheers,

Have you tried a different computer or perhaps just a different USB port?
If it still doesn't work you can try using some form of wifi access to send files between your computer and prime. ES Files Explorer can see most windows shared drives.

Try a different USB port on your computer and try rebooting the PC. Otherwise you can try uninstalling the drivers from device manager.

Hmm...I'm not sure to be honest. I've only plugged mine into a computer once just to root it. I didn't even check to see if I could access it's memory. I have Win7 x64 home premium. You can try the thread in Dev about drivers and see if those will install.

I run windows 7 64 and when plugged into the USB port, I open the "Computer" windows explorer window, and my prime is listed at the bottom under "Other" I believe.
However I did have a problem when I first got it, but it wasn't from the prime. I had had trouble a while with my iphone connecting to USB and not opening my photos because of an MTP driver. Had a similar problem when I got my prime, googled it and found a solution on how to fix it for people with other USB devices, and I tried it, and my prime showed up and I decided to check my iphone and the only other USB device I had trouble with, and all of my device to USB problems were solved by fixing that MTP error message.

Try this:
With the prime connected to the PC usb, in Win7 goto control panel, administrator tools, computer management, drive manager. This will show all disk drives and their drive letters. The prime should be there but it might be conflicting with one of your other drive letters, change the primes drive letter to z and try to access z drive with file manager. Good luck.
I am having problems using Galaxy S3 i9300 4.1.1 with Windows 8 RTM x64.
I have installed Kies latest (2.5.0.12094_28). And i can see device is connected and i can even take backups. But when i am trying to send mp3 files it is giving an error "File Transfer from PC to 'GT-I9300' has been interrupted"
Also when the device is connected to PC via USB, i can see the contents in Windows Explorer but if i try to delete something, or upload a document there it says i dont have permisson.
With the same phone and PC, in Windows7 or XP there is no problem.
I have tried severel options like, "USB Debugging Mode", reinstall drivers, remove ghost drivers etc.
It just never worked for Windows8.
Any ideas or solutions?
I can tell you only: get used to it...nobody likes windows 8 and most likely even big companies will most likely slack doing drivers, even those who doesnt will yake their yime to make win8 drivers-dont get me wrong, i love win8, im running it since consumer preview

I mess about with stuff saved on my microSD card and phone very regularly with both my Windows 8 notebook (Release Preview) and tablet (RTM), connected by USB. My notebook has the Kies software installed, whereas the tablet doesn't. I don't have the problems you speak of.
On my notebook's Device Manager, with my phone plugged in, I have a category 'SAMSUNG Android Phone' with 'SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface' beneath it. Do you have that? My version of the driver is 2.9.503.726, dated 27/07/2012. On a side note, I also have the category 'Modems' with 'SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem' beneath it.
Have you tried uninstalling the drivers, and letting Windows install suitable drivers for you?
