hello everyone. First time posting here. Im having a terrible time unlocking my bootloader on my tablet following sonys instructions. I get all the way to the part where sony has you download their usb inf replacement file for android sdk. I replace the file, go into fastboot mode on my tablet. the device shows up with the yellow exclamation in device manager but it wont let me update the drivers. I have also attempted to update the drivers through flashtool. nothing seems to work for me and Im at the end of my rope. it just keeps saying that windows cannot find driver software for my device. anyone have any tips or something that can get this working for me? im running android 4.2.2 with firmware 10.3.1.c.0.136 on the sgp311 wifi model. developer mode is enabled as is usb debugging. any help with this would be tremendous.
Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1?

windows 7
Strange... It might sound silly, but sometimes people forget it: Did you rebooted after installing the drivers from flashtool?

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?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
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

hey everyone, so ive have went thru all the threads i can find, done alot of research and have come up short. seems like alot of the users with the Verizon I605 Samsung Note 2 have the same problem, not connecting to their PC's.
-ive restarted both my note 2 and my PC numerous times.
-ive installed/uninstalled/re-installed the official Samsung website device drivers
-tried other USB ports
-tried up to 4 different USB/Mini USB cords
-made sure USB debugging was switched on
-Tried Samsung Kies, come to find out it doesn't support the I605 Note 2
-called Verizon and Samsung directly and both actually offered me a position as a tech after i told them all the things i did to figure it out, because it was way more then they could handle.
i know it has connected before, as i have done it once or twice a few weeks back but now it wont connect, drivers fail to install, and nothing else works. i have also tried every other method mentioned in the other threads. nothing has worked.
is there any fix for this? was it cause by the latest update?
im running 4.1.2/ VRAMC3
and im using Windows 7
please anyone lmk if there is a fix for this. ive exhausted all avenues known to me. thanks in advance.
Happened to me too, it's USB port in your computer. If you have any other computer or laptop try using that.
You can also try wireless connection for file transfer.

Hope you found your answer. If not have this moved. This was posted in the sprint version of the note 2 forums.

The appropriate forum would probably be more helpful.
Plus, are you getting any error messages? I've had issues with connecting the Sprint GN2. If I install the Samsung Drivers, I get a "Missing Hardware ID" error. I just found it's better not to install drivers. Let Windows install what drivers it can. Not all the drivers will install and will get an error message about device not successfully installed. But enough install that the GN2 will connect so you can move files around for MTP. See a thread I did back in December, linky
Also, you can try out SG Flash Drive Enabler. I've tried it out. It works pretty well. It has quirks, but does allow you to use your SDHC card as a flash drive. You have to use the MTP to access the phone's storage.
oh man...*face palm* sorry about posting in the wrong forum guys, i was about to crash and i didn't even realize. my mad.
MODS: please move this to the correct Forum section at your earliest convenience, thanks :silly:
i have found that airdroid does work for wifi file transfers for such things as pictures, music...etc. but im wanting to root my note 2 and it needs a direct line from the phone to the pc to work.
ill check out those links posted up and see what how it goes. but we still need a fix for this. kinda lame only (well most) the verizon SN2 is having this problem.

You may want to use ToolKit. I believe it's setup for AT&T tool. Uninstall KIES and all the samsung driver on the your PC. Choose to have ToolKit install the drivers. It should get your enough connection for ADB to work and be able to root and install a custom recovery. I had to use it a couple days ago to get a custom recovery back on the GN2 and I was getting the Missing Hardware ID error and still worked.

Ive done that very process. Uninstalled kies and installed the toolkit drives. Some reason it would sort of connect but then disconnect. Never stayed on and wasnt able to be picked up as connected on the Odin program.

I had a problem in windows 7 where it would connet to Windows update and try to get drivers for everything once they were connected. I turned off windows looking at windows update for drivers, uninstalled the driver for the phone, then installed Samsung's drivers. my phone showed up in windows again. now im able to get to both sd cards.. did you try that?

where did you go on windows 7 to turn off the above mentioned? the middle part confuses me a bit. so your saying you turned off the windows feature to look for driver updates when the phone is connected via USB?
if you dont mind, please walk me thru your process. thanks in advance.

thank you so much for the link. but still no dice. i uninstalled the drivers i had before, did your method, and then downloaded the drivers again from the toolkit. i still dont get a serial number in the toolkit showing the drivers are good to go, and the phone still doesn't connect.

Kies was un-installed per instuctions on the toolbox. i guess i could try and re-install it and retry everything.
EDIT: just remembered that Kies dosnt support the Verizon Note 2....lame sauce.

i am going to try to download a older driver that was working before and see if that works. its linked near the bottom of the above posted link in one of the replies. ill come back with results.
ok so i downloaded the samsung drivers version 1.4.6.0 and followed the directions on the link i provided above. the drivers installed successfully, but the CASUAL(R515b) No You Verizon! program doesn't seem to see the phone connected to the computer. and just continually loops. sigh...this is getting to get stupid. such a simple task yet its not connecting.
EDIT: the drivers SAY they have installed successfully, but the computer still doesn't recognize the phone is connected. even reads on the phone that the software wasnt found to connect to the computers, and the CASUAL program also tells me that the phone isnt connected....sigh...seriously....WTF.
When you install your driver's on your pc you need to restart your pc...have you tryed that?

While Kies does not officially support the VZW Note 2 it is the only way me and my friends can get our PCs to see our Note 2s, that's the only reason I ask and it is usually par for course. Its what's suggested in these cases if it isn't already installed. It can hurt to give it a shot and see if it helps anything, if not you can just uninstall it again.
Also check out the OP in this thread:

Hi there,
I have problems with Flashtool version 0.9.13.0 (Latest) , so i tried to plug my phone with Fastboot mode / Flashboot mode and Windows says : "USB Device not recognized"
NOTE: I am using Windows 8.1
I tried going into advanced boot mode and i disabled that driver thing , installed drivers,still nope.
I tried front USB ports and rear USB ports (2.0 USB PORTS)
Still Windows don't recognize phone.
I Bricked phone and now i am frustrated that i cannot access flashtool and flash kernel. (I KNOW HOW TO UNBRICK IT)
Can anyone help , before flashtool worked like charm,and now i don't know why it won't work.
I am downloading Windows 7 and i will try it with Virtualbox , sure it will work but this is not solution.
NOTE: In 0.9.11.0v Flashtool on Win8 it worked.
NOTE: I searched on google but everything leads to that driver thing.

I am having trouble getting my windows 8.1 pc to recognize my Droid DNA. I installed android SDK, installed HTC Sync then removed it it so I would still have the drivers. I have tried universal drivers and another tool I found on the thread but to no avail anybody who knows how to get the device recognized on windows 8.1 and knows how to root the phone could answer. Help would be appreciated. I have went through the process on other htc phones but this one is a little complicated.

I have been trying to do that for 3 months with no luck. Ther are 2 or 3 threads here that talk about 8.1 not seeing your phone. I don't think there is a fix until HTC releases updated windows drivers. I use Linux to fastboot my DNA. Sorry I did not have better news
