alright so my normal computer broke, so now i am using a ****ty lenovo ideapad
s10. i tried connecting usb, downloading drivers from samsung.com and here, and still no luck. I can mount the usb storage from my phone but im having trouble with download mode, the computer doesnt recognize it, and therefore ODIN doesnt. Right now im gunna flash all thru my phone but i would really like to get it working on the computer, any help ?
windows xp btw
One thing you can try that worked for me on a couple of machines that wouldn't recognize dl mode is the following. Download the 64 bit drivers, can be found through the vibrant bible, and unzip the folder, should come in .zip format. Then put your phone into dl mode, plug it into your computer, and let it detect the devices and not load the drivers. Once its recognized the unknown device, access your windows device manager manager, right click on the unknown device, choose update driver, do not let windows auto detect it, rather, manually install the driver by selecting "install from a specific location", then "include this location in the search" and use the browse button to navigate to the driver folder you unzipped. Let it do its thing and should then be recognized in dl mode.
Ok hopefully this helps someone. After flashing the amazing AOKP ROM (literally best ROM I've ever flashed...Holy stable batman) I noticed that on Win7 x86 or x64 that USB file transfer to/from SD card worked fine...as did Odin but Windows could not find a driver for my phone anymore. This creeped me out because this meant adb would not be able to connect. Running the adb devices command would not show anything.
I tried 3 different Win 7 machines and a WinXP machine all of them used to work but now they didn't I read the FAQ, I goggle searched xda and droid forums and tried everything, cables, switching USB ports, phone settings, dev settings, new usb drivers but, I could no longer get adb to connect.
So I started looking closely at the Samsung USB drivers I have on my machines which worked fine on stock ROMs, and a few other custom ROMs (not blaming AOKP no disrespect) and I found that the hardware id for my device changed and the device string wasn't referenced in any of the USB drivers files. So I forced the correct driver to install and it worked! So if that is all you need to know cool, if you some of you need the steps here they are:
I'm assuming you already have Samsung USB drivers and adb from the SDK installed (if not there's tons of info on this site to get both)
I'm also assuming you installed the USB drivers so they are in the default location, if you extracted a zip file or something you will need the path to the USB drivers
Last assumption... I tried 3 different versions of Samsung USB drivers and for each one the ssadadb2.inf that has the ADB driver was in the USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury folder...If you don't find it there do a search in the USB Drivers folder and reference that location for step 13
Click Start button, then right-click Computer, then click Manage
Click Device Manager
Expand Other devices, you should see SCH-I500 with the yellow exclaimation point
Right-click it then click Update Driver Software
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of drivers
Scroll up, highlight Show All Devices, click Next
Click Have Disk
Click Browse
Browse to C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury
Double-click ssadadb2.inf, click Open, Click OK
Highlight SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface, click Next
You will get an "Update Driver Warning" saying cannot verify compatibility with your hardware, click Yes
You should see Windows has successfully updated your driver software, click Close
Back in device manager under ADB Interface you should see the driver name you just added....the entry under Other devices should be gone
Connect your data USB cable (not a charging only cable...if you can't tell the difference just be sure you used this cable for data before)
Open a cmd prompt (start>run>cmd enter if you didn't know)
browse to where you installed adb and type "adb devices"
You should see your device and a serial number again....back in business
Like I said no disrespect to AOKP I rock my B31 (soon to be 32) Pink Unicorn proudly This hopefully applies to anyone who had a hardware id change from any ROM.
Im running on cm9.1. First time I plugged my phone in to my laptop, it said unable "android" driver unable to install. Im able to access the sd cards from windows though.
I opened device manager to try to update/install the driver. nothing has worked so far. I tried to install it from the android sdk and it didnt work. I installed the official samsung usb driver and kies and they didnt work.
what else can i try??
or should this really be a priblem??
Maybe you can flash another rom.
For example,you can try CM10.1 or samsung official rom.
I'm using cm10.1 and it doesn't have your problem.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
well, I like to hold out on cm10.1 until the stable release which might not even happen at all for the s2.
any other solution you can think of??
how's the cm10.1 nightlies anyway?? good enough for everyday use?
Never mind I fixed it. I followed this instruction I found:
Connect phone
Run USBDeview as Administrator
Sort by Serial Number
Select all devices with Serial Number starting HT
Uninstall selected devices
Disconnect/reconnect phone
Windows will try, and fail, to install device, ignore that and...
Install driver via Device Manager:
Open Device Manager (Start->My Computer, right click->Manage->Device Manager)
Under Other, you should see a device with a yellow warning called ADB or Android Phone; right click -> Update driver software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Select Show all devices, click Next
Click Have disk...
Browse to android sdk install directory and find the usb_driver directory (mine is in extras\google)
Select android_winusb.inf and click OK
Select Android Composite ADB Interface and click Next
When the Update Driver Warning appears click Yes
So I have a Samsung Vibrant(just got it recently) and I'm having problems when i connect it to the computer. It gives me an USB device not recognized on my windows 8 computer. I have spent all morning searching and reinstalling drivers and trying my old pc and new cables and i found out that my old windows 7 computer with 4GB of ram and an overloaded hard drive will detect my device the problem there is it not my main computer and i dont want to have to connect all the vga cables boot it up connect mouse and ect to use this computer just to be able to copy files, and do other things from my computer to my phone I dont know why my main computer dell inspiron windows 8 will not work when it was a couple of days ago when i had a problem with conectivity and had to flash back to stock but now it wont connect. could someone help me? Here's a list of things i've tried
installing kies
installing adb again
aoi tool and then drivers
a bunch of diffrent drivers found on the fourms
diffrent usb cable
i would like to be able to do it on my main computer but its not working if someone could help that would be great
also please dont hate on me for having windows 8 jk i dont care :good:
I'd have to say that your drivers are all scrambled. Look up "android SDK" here on xda and install that for a bigger variety of drivers. Or just download Google's USB driver and manually install it through device manager which always works for me. Windows 8 is new and very complicated.

Android SDK is installed in the main drive right? local disk c?
You have to click the folder (usb_driver) and then click update.
In the android sdk folder there should be and exe file called SDK manager. There you will be able to download all the drivers for your current android version also the latest Google drivers and SDK tools etc.
I was stuck on this process for a long time because it allways works different for everybody. Just keep me posted on what you do I'm more than glad to help.

So what exactly happens when you click update? What does it say?
Is your PC up to date? (update wise)
Do you have the the drivers for the phone itself like samsung drivers?
And did you try rebooting your PC after installing your drivers? <-- that is important. You should always reboot after install or uninstalling drivers otherwise you'll end up scrambling them.
From the pictures it shows you have the drivers but I'd also try going deeper than usb_driver, try clicking on i386 or amd64.

OK make sure there are no HTC drivers on your PC. When you hook up your phone does USB storage work or anything like that?
Check those out and then I want you to go to Google, download pdanet latest version via pc (dont install yet) and go to the play store and install on your phone turn on USB debugging and the install non market apps and hook your phone up to the computer. Then install pdanet via PC and see if that works. HTC drivers get in the way of Samsung's BTW.

I want you to uninstall all your Samsung drivers(not android SDK) under control panel/uninstall programs. If you see something like Samsung kies definitely uninstall it. Reboot your computer and follow this guide for windows 8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
After this if it doesn't work I'd recommend pulling out your old computer for android modding lol. I'll still look up some threads for your problem. Let me know what's going on after that. Make sure when you follow that guide your phone can not be plugged in the computer. And when you plug your phone into the computer after everything is done and after you reboot your computer for the second time, USB debugging has to be off and when phone is done unplug and turn back on USB debugging and plug back in and wait for that. Adb should work.
[Edit] you can also try running your drivers in windows 7 compatibility. Sorry I couldn't help much.

I think I know what the problem is. Make sure you uninstall all the previous drivers, then have the correct drivers ready.
What you have to do is to disable driver signature enforcement.
Step 1. Go to the right bottom corner of the desktop and wait for the side menu to appear. When it's there click on the gear icon with the title "Settings".
Step 2. Now click on the entry "More PC Settings", then click on the entry "General".
Step 3"Restart now" (under "Advanced start up ") and click it.
Step 4. Now click "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced Options" and after that click "Windows Start up Settings".
Step 5. Click on "Restart" and wait, then on the next screen press F7.
You will now reboot, and try now to install the drivers (by manually selecting the folder in device manager).
I'm not sure what is the correct drivers for you.
But try this. It's still worth a shot.

didnt make a difrence still getting error i think its something with my system so i guess without a full diagonostic it wont work
Hey guys.
I have Samsung galaxy ace 5839i (stock for 5830i) and I am using it for a few years, but this problem came for the first time.
Always, when I try to connect my mobile to pc using cable, it just won't connect, it won't even show me the notification of connecting.
Before this problem, I connected it to fedora linux and it was succesful, but now? It won't show me that USB sign even in windows.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
@LiQuDiAk, basically s5839i and s5830 i are identical in many areas ,, few questions though,, did you root your device or you are on android 2.3.6 stock version / kernel 2.6.35.7 ?
when you are in your windows device manager ( while you are connected , do you see any exclamation / question marks in front of the corresponding driver), you can always uninstall your old driver, reboot , then try compiled driver in attachment , and reboot to take proper effect in your registry (tested on win xp/7 -32bit) . Also check your device settings>Application>Development > USB Debugging and make sure the option is checked. now lets check your debugging mode through ADB command and see if your device is being recognized. download platform zip attachment, unzip it and put the folder someplace like your desktop. Now open your command prompt (cmd) through whatever means you are comfortable and change directory (cd) to the unzip folder or simply open your folder and drag/drop adb.exe into your CMD to be in the right place very fast. Then type "adb devices" without quotation marks and report for more troubleshooting .Assuming your Samsung cable is not faulty of course.
@ehsanotaku Yes i did root my phone on pheonix fire rom. No i do not see any. And debugging is checked, that was my first guess why it was causing this. I was checking, whether my device is recognized in linux (only available OS in present) and it was NOT, but the cable is not faulty, because it was charging my phone... but i will do recognize process on windows, hope it will get better. But thanks so far!
so, the driver didnt help, but the adb devices got me something long which i do not completely understand (i am a girl and not IT) so...

off topic though, gender discrimination is prejudice,, sorry if you are offended . Learning from each other despite your gender,does not undermine your knowledge EVER mate You might find it hard to believe, but I am quite novice in android stuff myself ( learning a great deal from some female members though ).
Back to topic at hand now,,,So let Perfectly Clear take away the time-consuming tasks and fix some stuff ..1. so you can not access your sdcard's content from either systems,, even if you try some live bootable Ubuntu disk/flash into your system and boot it up,, you can't access the mount drive content , right?
2. screenshot of your device manger while you are connected always help mate
3. those long streams of numbers and words is supposed to be your device name , it means your device is communicating with your pc ( /sdcard/ should not be corrupted). You can push (copy ) some vital files to your device with following command :
again same path >> put some file into your desktop (drag/drop to cmd)
i.e: "adb push C:\Users\ehsanotaku\Desktop\test.txt /sdcard/"
back to your device and check root of your files with whatever file explorer you got to approve the theory
4. forgot to ask , just to be on the safe side your device is not in boot loop process, stuck on samsung splash screen or something like that, right?
okay, thanks!
1. I cannot access it trough USB to mobile way, but from SD card adapter, yeah I can (it is just the weird feeling, when you always have to put out your sd and do it that way, i would like to sort this out)
2. http://s1.postimg.org/nkta50u3x/Untitleddas.png I suppose the unknown device is my phone.
3. Just a question, my phone is not connected, i cannot access it and this doesn't help
4. Nope, it is working, i can access everything, just this connecting problem i have. anything else is running smoothly.
Let's say any of this will work, do you think flashing a stock rom will help? I am not sure, if this is problem of rom or not, so...
And maybe i wasn't clear (my bad if not) but when i plug the cable in my device and pc, pc will make this sound of new device found, but it wont show me anything, so my phone. It will charge, but it wont connect, it is behaving like it is on a charger and not connected to the phone.
@LiQuDiAk, Hasty actions are done in a hurry, sometimes without the necessary care or thought. Now let's not leap to any conclusion about your Android custom Rom and flashing back to stock. lets focus on your first most obvious problems,which is driver related.
You didn't declare your flavor of windows: i.e: Windows x86 based-PC;professional 7
Not so sure of your OS Name/Version and System Type, search "system information" in your search box.
Your task manger depicted ACPI x64 ( 64-bit system, no wonder previous 32-bit compatible didn't work out for you ).
Symptoms observed so far:
1. USB cable only charges ( remember your USB cable data line might be the culprit. Just in case of only charging,checking with another set recommended. Your USB port might be problem, some dirt or faulty data line, checking with another USP port doesn't heart though.
2. Windows recognizes something more (like in your case, struggling to find proper corresponding driver), but cannot see it as a Samsung android device (cannot allocate the installed USB drivers to the device).
-If you got Kies (Samsung proprietary software) installed on your PC, delete it with a descent uninstaller program such as CCleaner free version .Kies might cause driver conflict , use it as only last resort , if all drivers failed to communicate with s5830i device.
-Also Uninstall your previous given driver same way, now restart , back to system and grab set of universal Samsung Drivers from attachment .
3.Can't see your "USB connected" in Android notification bar, so you cant click on it and mount your storage data part while you are connected to your PC.
-Normally, when you plug in your Android device, Windows will recognize it as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device and quietly mount it.
However, if you’ve ever attempted to unlock your device such as to install a new ROM or root it, then such miss behaviors might be expected occasionally .
Before i go for more troubleshooting , please provide a full screenshot from your "About Phone" page in your settings . I am quite curious about this phoenix Rom you have mentioned though . I am quite familiar with at least dozen of discontinued/ported projects, but never heard of such ported Rom from other models into s5830i .
Couple of solutions :
Navigate to your settings,Storage and touch the upper-right corner for the “USB computer connection” options, if you have this part available.
make sure “Media device (MTP)” is selected. ( if you have USB Utilities section or whatever added section in your custom settings go there . Selecting that will do the trick. If it does not, then you likely have a driver problem.
Open your device manager, Right click on your unrecognized device in question,choose update driver software, choose Browse my computer,find it through given x64 drivers in your package ,Restart. ( After a successful installation, restart your PC, you must have something like the picture in attachment ) .
Problem was not resolved, Uncheck your debugging option,power off your phone. Now hold Volume(+) + Home + Power for a couple of seconds simultaneously to get to your Samsung Recovery or your Clockwork Recovery, choose Reboot( might be some process/service in your background, which interfere with your Auto USB connected feature of your device. See if the problem is being resolved .
Problems have been persisting, we might need to format your SD card, but before that, insert it into your card reader, in your file explorer window choose Tools>Folder options>select view tab> tick your select hidden file.folders. Now copy all of your SD card's contents into some folder, safe inside your PC.
We can format your card through your clockwork mod recovery console, or some partition tools such as free mini partition wizard,,
problem still persist? let me know
Hey
After some rest with this, my mobile got it solved (dunno why, just once tried to do it and it works.)
So, thank you very much with your answers!!!!
And about that screenshots, I will PM you
But, really, thanks a lot, mate!!!!
