you can try to enable your adb connection before connecting to your pc, that solved it for me
you'll find it in your developer options!

Samsung Kies 2.3.3.12085_7_5 work with Windows 8 9200...:good:
I'm using windows 8 x64, I had no trouble installing the drivers.. I just put the phone in download mode and connected the usb cable and the drivers were automatically installed.

Hello all.
I too have Windows 8 RTM 9200 x64.
Kies 2.3.3.12085_7 INSTALLS fine, and the app RUNS fine.
Also, when I put the phone in download mode, Win8 DOES automatically find a device, but....
1. Kies can never find the phone (obviously not when in download, I mean in normal mode). Just keeps telling me to turn off debugging (which is not on!). Tells me: "Reconnect the device in Samsumg Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies. Check USB settings."
2. Odin 1.85, 1.87 and 3.04 can never see the phone in download mode. Just nothing as if not connected.
For you guys who have it working in Win8, can you confirm that Kies can actually SEE the phone (running the app is the easy bit!), and that if you go into download mode, that Odin can see the device?
I can pass things thru on a virtual USB port to a Virtual Machine of Win7, but cant never actually get any functional use in (host) Win8.
Thanks.
EDIT: I downloaded Kies from Samsung page and it seems to be very slightly newer than mine, now version 2.3.3.12085_7_5. NOW, Odin CAN see the device in download mode which is what I really wanted for flashing purposes. Kies itself now no longer instantly complains about the USB setting, but iinstead just spins its wheel and never connects. But Kies stinks and never use it anyway, so not too fussed. Really just wanted Odin so that's cool.
Downloaded THIS Kies: http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
Can you extract the USB Driver msi from the instllation and upload it here? Thanks!\
Edit:
Found it!
http://www.mediafire.com/?4y1a2opm8o3ihfx
Now my Note is back under my Windows 8 64x RTM!
Interesting!
Your mediafire download LOOKS like the same version that my Kies installed, but when I installed your version over my pre-existing one, now Kies can see my phone!
Excellent!
Thanks!
Hope this all helps someone else too.
I ran Windows 8 for exactly 2 days. I ain't gonna touch that with a 10ft pole ever again. Went back to Win7.
Lemme just tell ya: Windows 8 sucks big time. It's so bad it both sucks and blows at the same time.

Using a 4 year old Dell Latitude XT2 that originally came with Vista on it with a fresh install of Windows 8. Love the device. Multi touch screen works right away and all features work great. Having a blast with Windows 8. Just need the right hardware and it is a perfect operating system. Best of both worlds, tablet and laptop.
There's no need to install Kies to use the phone as mass storage.
Only if you want to flash things though Odin.
I'm using Windows 8 Pro 64bits and I can confirm this. :good:
Windows update Will do the job.
Connect the phone and then search on Windows update.

Try another usb cable? Check and see what the phone is showing up as under the control panel. Just saying that it doesn't work makes us resort to random guessing. Did you try the P.S. section of the guide?
Give us something to work with...

Not sure if you're still having a problem here, but I resolved this issue by using another computer that had Windows 7, not Windows 8. Once I plugged the phone into my Windows 7 computer I didn't even need the driver as it automatically knew what it was.
Hope this helps.

[Q] The problem of connecting the device with android.

Hello,
When I plug mk888 (android tv box) or Milestone 2 to my computer looking for drivers. Not so alone it is pointing. Installs however, there is code 10 Under windows 8 turned off checking the compatibility of the controller. I still have the same problem. I downloaded the drivers rockusb and the computer does not want to "accept". The same thing I have with drivers for motorola. The strange thing is that on another computer with Windows Vista I have the same problem.
I checked the original cable motorola and samsung.
Connected it without the debug mode (SD mode) and it worked.
But when I turn these modes I can not get it to install the drivers: (
I do not know what's going on.
Milestone has CyanogenMod 9
MK888 is an android 4.2.2
My computer has Windows 8 x64 with all updates
Win 8?

Thank you for the quick reply.
I found a similar movie before. I did it, but Dalen does not work. It shows that supposedly has recorded but did not work, and shows error code 10
The devices manager I have this:
Class for rockusb devices:
Rockusb Devices (with a black exclamation mark).
Similarly for motorola adb.
any news ideas ?

It seems to me that after some research the problem is with your driver the device manager cant start the device im not a genius but you should try to update the driver via google or update your windows if you havent already =D

When you connect your phone to the PC, can you choose file transfer mode, on the phone? If you can, what happens when you choose "Trasnfer files (MTP)" ?

Did you check device manager (control panel) for the drivers? Maybe you need to install them manually. And if you are using Windows 10 "N" version, then you need to install media feature pack for windows 10, because without it, windows 10 won't recognize devices in MTP mode, here is the link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48231 . I had that problem when i installed Windows 10 N on a new laptop. Also, maybe, you will need to disable signature driver enforcement to insall the drivers. You can find all the information regarding the drivers on the internet. I'm leaving now, i won't be here until tommorow, so i can't help you more at this moment.
This too don't work. BUT I FIND SOLUTION for this.

Well, it told you the actually the same. "Check the drivers in device manager". Anyway, you are welcome. Good that you found a way to fix you problem.
Hey,
I'm in the same situation. I checked my driver, it's well installed (MTP). I'm running on win 8.1.
Redmi is showing but there is nothing inside, no folder. My PC tells me "Device may be locked or not ready, check if the mobile is unlocked".
I only unlocked Dev privileges and USB unlock.
What am I missing?
cheers in advance.
EDIT: OK, just needed to change the mode from the Redmi. USB Charge to USB File Transfert (from the top of the screen)
