Has anyone had any issues with Odin? Odin just stopped recognizing my player in download mode. Gives me a com port when in normal mode. I've updated and used several drivers from Kies to others. Not new to flashing with Odin, but I've never had it just stop recognizing a device. Home button is dead and was going to flash stock North American version
Win8
Odinv3 3.04
Updated Samsung Drivers (Kies)
North American version YP-GS1 Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6
Current Kernal: [email protected] #1
Current Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXLD1 (International EU)
I've tried different cables (Note and Note II cables) install reinstall Kies, drivers, Odin. Removed ADB+Fastboot from my rig (thought it could be an issues) and just about every thing listed on this site and other...lol. The only thing I noticed is the driver for the 3.6 in Download mode is just a basic "Samsung USB driver". Also under the Devices and Hardware window the player is listed as "Unspecified" . My Note and Note II in download mode list different drivers but is also listed as "Unspecified". Not sure if that's a possible issue or not. I'm wondering if I got a copy of the drivers that others have while connected via Download Mode I could force those drivers and see if Odin picks up the player.

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..
From July 2012 Kies version

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".

Make sure you have your usb settings in the phone to Kies or to ask when you plug in. If you are running any launcher other then touch wiz, Kies will not recognize the device. So if you are running a different launcher, clear its defaults and go to the touchwiz home and then plug the USB in.
You probably downloaded the Kies for the I9000, it doesnt work on TMO Vibrant. There is no Kies for USA available for that model yet. Someone suggested to download the Kies from the Canadian Samsung site instead. I believe that Kies for USA will be made available when Froyo is released for the Vibrant.
I downloaded Kies for the USA yesterday and my Vibrant connects fine.

Where did you find this? On the Samsung site just now I get this message when looking for Kies on the US site:
Currently, there is no offiical version of Kies Stateside for the SGH-t959 (Vibrant).
I think he used the UK, or Canadian version but when you install it you select USA.
I used the Kies found @ http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as posted by abhiku in a similar thread. Works perfectly on win 7 64
Could you be more specific? That link redirects to http://www.samsung.com/apps/ which doesn't help much.
oh shiii, looks like they pulled the version i dl/d. thankfully, i store installers of this nature on a backup drive. uploaded to sharebee for ya: http://sharebee.com/8cf24208
Thanks, but that didn't solve the MPT USB driver failing.
what exactly is happening? like when you plug it in is it just saying "failed to install device" or is the pc recognizing it for usb mass storage, but nothing else. Some more details would be very helpful.
I have the home screen on TouchWiz
I plug the phone into the USB port
Several drivers install properly
I get the MTP screen on the phone for a few seconds and then it returns to the home screen. A dialog box on the computer says:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
MTP USB Device XFailed
I have tried 3 versions of Kies and 3 different USB drivers
I tried the I9000 version of kies... I could not figure out how to make it work with the Vibrant.
I dont use Outlook... what are the real benefits? I saw it an sync your music? Is there a basic guide/Q&A for Kies somewhere?
I tried to make it work on a rooted phone and it just fails.
First it wanted me to disable USB debugging, and when I did it failed to connect anyway - the software is a piece of rubbish.
Anyway Samsung states in their FAQ that Vibrant is not supported yet
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa..._ID=314807&PROD_ID=560&PG_ID=-1&PROD_SUB_ID=0
the screen on the phone just flases the mtp showing a usb plug
The version of Kies that I successfully connected the Vibrant to is 1.5.1.10074_2.
Windows did all of the driver downloading for me lol. Here is a screenshot of the SGH-T959 connected.

I get the same. This software is junk. And what I saw of the interface makes it look like it was written in the 90s.
From what I am seeing on the international side, it may be that Froyo is installed using it so I was hoping to get things working in anticipation of that. Plus, it has a movie converter so its pretty simple to convert movies to the right format.
i have been having this problem ever since i updated my kies to the latest version 2.3.0.12035_16_4. Now the MTP driver just does not install even after following the following instructions from the link [Solution / Tutorial for Galaxy S i9000] MTP Application crashing
and also other instructions from around the net!
1) tried deleting samsung entirely from my drive including drivers and rebooted and then reinstalled. no hope!
2) tried deleting all files with 16 characters from phone memory and sd card. still no hope!
3) installed all drivers successfully via usb debugging mode and then after that i disabled usb debugging and connected it says MTP driver successfully installed but i have to restart my pc. when i restart it says MTP drivers installing and then it fails!!!!!! kies keeps saying connecting..........
4)also now the autorun does not work when trying to connect to kies. it doesn't show up in the windows explorer. however i can access via usb mode
Same results at home (vista) and work (win 7 pro)!!!
whats happening?????

just yesterday i just tried another solution: i removed my sd card and reconnected and lo & behold kies detected it...mtp drivers were installed and i could backup.
now today morning to check for updates i reconnected it the same way and i get the message"MTP driver failed".
In the device manager it says device failed to start (code 10) for MTP driver.
i have looked around and most of the threads are for galaxy s and this is a last resort. when i wrote the title the suggestions xda gave me are 1st one is for galaxy note, 2nd - 4th suggestions last post was in 2011 and the 5th one is from 2010. i have gone thru all of these.
Any ideas if i have ICS update? This is my first android phone bought it last july. I'm a bit nervous about updating via odin!
any help anyone???
1) Sorry mate, ICS KIES update for your version has not been released yet.
2) you have to try on another PC to check MTP working, most probebly your PC issue not the phone.
3) uninstall Kies, doenload a fresh one from Samsung and install after reboot and try..
thanx for the quick reply mate
2) same situation in all pcs
3) already done that plenty of times...removed drivers etc etc still no hope
July to April - one year not finished go back to the dealer...
Should be some problem with your usb port of the Phone....
I bought the phone with the same version, with both software and hardware waranty,
When will the ICS KIES update for his version be released?
Cable??

I have an AT&T Galaxy S2 and a Galaxy Tab 2. I rooted both using different methods. Now my computer wont install the drivers for them and Kies will no longer see them either. Any ideas?
I don't know much about kies, but I do know it is a tool made for stock firmware, so maybe it detects that the devices are rooted.
As far as your computer installing the drivers, I guess you mean USB driver. Look in add/remove programs dialog for "Samsung USB driver for mobile phones." If present you should be set. If not, you can manually install it by downloading from the Samsung site, or on XDA.
usually when we root a phone kies do not work, but there is other option to transfer files like airdroid an app you can download in play store or you can install a custom ROM like shostock that works great and detect the drives automatically for connect the phone to the computer.
Hi everybody! I tried installing an official firmware without bloatware for my sister's Ace. It entered into bootloop and does not go over the logo of Samsung and Orange. I tried reset factory, delete cache etc., without success. When I tried to install something via Odin, the computer did not recognize it. I have tried on two different Windows with Odin and a Mac with JOdin, without success. It does not work with Kies as well. It seems that the computers don't recognize a mobile plugged, even trying with tdifferent cables, USB ports, Windows and Mac, etc. Any idea/alternative?
Thank you very much!!
There are two cases when my Galaxy Ace was not recognized on my computer.
1. Which version of the odin you tried to use to restore Galaxy Ace?
- Since Galaxy Ace supports "Odin Multi Downloader 4.xx", instead of normally known Odin. There might be confusion between two different versions of the odin, since they look almost identical. However, the way you can find difference is that "Odin Multi Downloader" have "OPS" button that you can load ops file and another have "PIT" button that you can load pit file. Since JODIN have "PIT" button, it is unlikely to work for flashing Galaxy Ace. (And Jodin requires PIT file, not OPS.)
2. Are you using Windows 8 or older?
- This could be an issue you have encounter, since most computers nowadays have Windows 10, 8.1, or 8. I experienced this problem when I tried to flash my Galaxy Ace I dug out from desk. When I connected Galaxy Ace in download mode to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 computer, it said "USB Not Recognized". When I actively used Galaxy Ace back in 2012, I had Windows 7 and was able to flash Galaxy Ace successfully. I posted the solution if you have a Mac Here with VirtualBox. You also may try using computer with Windows 7 or older.
I hope these information were helpful for your successful recovery of Galaxy Ace.
