Sorry if there is already a thread covering this, if there is, please send me a link and I'll go over there. I'm trying to make sure the PC drivers for my Galaxy Megs 6.3 (Metro) is installed. I am currently running OSE Rom and Kies says my phone is not supported. I suspect that's because of the rom, but I have rooted my phone through my PC and am able to transfer files over USB. Can I assume that I have the drivers up to date? is there somewhere I can download and install the drivers Manually?
Did you use it in past ?

hello! i want to root using a method i found on galaxys2root.com and it requires the drivers (obviously ) i am on a mac and kies wont install. does this mean there's no other way of getting the drivers?
you don't need Kies per se. you just need adb drivers. you could download Android SDK and it would have usb drivers. but I advise you install Kies for mac if you haven't tried so. you can find Kies for mac in official Samsung support page for sgs2 under support > download > software. sorry i cant put external link due to post limits.
I recently deleted Kies from my pc as I never used it with my S2.
Now I want to root my S3 and I was wondering do I need to have Kies on my pc so that some driver files are present when rooting?

No, you don't. Just make sure you install the right device drivers.
If ODIN can pick up the phone, then you're fine.
You need the Samsung drivers found on KIES.
As an alternative, you can just download the Samsung driver instal package from Softpedia etc
If you do instal KIES, ensure it is not running (or its process in PC task manager) when using Odin, or you may have issues with Odin.

If Kies was installed when you used your GS2 you should already have the relevant drivers (well I did)
It's recommended to install latest KIES.
Yesterday i got error when i plugged my phone to my notebook but then i installed kies then the driver successfully installed.
Was wondering why I cannot connect my phone to the computer after installing the Rom Unofficial 10.1
The computer saw my phone before the install but not anymore. I have the latest version of Kies just
wondering why the computer doesnt see the phone anylonger. Suggestions?

Does your computer not show it in device manager or does it not show up under Kies?
Had same issue here had to put SD in different phone to put new ROM on it.

This is a couple days old.
However For future reference...
Aosp roms sometimes require the vanilla drivers not the ones for the I717.
Just install the android sdk (WHICH SHOULD BE A STEP DONE BEFORE EVER TOUCHING YOUR PHONE) the drivers are within.
Then when you plug in it should read it as an android debugging device. And a mass storage device.
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.
Hey guys,
After some roms, i got my phone bricked,
After some more work got it back to stock and rooted, and now my computer wont see the USB, tried USB 2 and 3 both not working, different USB entrance's too. the computer will find Note 3 as CDC ACM or CDC NCM or Comneo Suspend, ( windows update is on, Kies installed latest version ), i did try other cables.
I added a photo with Windows driver thingy
This is a Note 3 SM-N900 ( international version )
Could you please help me with this?
Thank you.
First I would ask the obvious, is this checked?
If so, then something is missing from either the drivers you have on your PC ( I would delete and reinstall them ) here is a link http://www.devfiles.co/download/AbRa7wHc/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe Or the OS, I would use your phone and download a new copy of 4.4.2 NC5 copy and paste it to your SD CARD from downloads then flash out of your recovery. Here is the link to SamMobile which has all versions of 4.4.2 NC5 http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N900P&pcode=0 Also since this is an International version you might consider moving your post to SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3. Unless your running it on Sprint then use the SPR version of 4.4.2 NC5 from SamMobile. Here is another link for stock 4.4.2 NC5 by micmars (Thanks ) that you don't have to register to download like at SamMobile but its only the Sprint version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205
