Here is what i tried doing to fix this...
*Uninstalling then re installing Kies
*Uninstalling then re installing Samsung drivers 1.5.5
*Tried changing ports of connecting usb in PC to phone
*Tried with another phone"S3 MINI" but it asked for "android" driver
*Made Windows search for that driver on Internet but it didn't find it
I don't know what that driver is......maybe can someone send me a link to that driver so i can download it ..Thanks in advance

try to copy to SD Card

but i don't have that thing where i put the Sd card in..

put it on another phone
or
download wifi file transfer pro
you will be able to manage files in your phone form browser
you can upload from pc to phone
or download to pc from the phone

Try updating Samsung kies with the latest driver and see if that helps.

You could try installing the drivers manually so connect your phone to your PC via the USB directly to it, not through a USB connecter hub or any 3rd party connector
Right click on My Computer then click Manage
When the screen pops up on the left click Device Manager
You should find your mobile listed in three places
Expand Portable Devices you should have GT-i9300 listed
Expand Samsung Android Phone there should be an ADB interface option
Expand Universal Serial Bus there should be Samsung USB Composite device
They may not be exactly the same as these but you will recognise them
Right click on each one select Properties > click the Driver TAB > Update Driver
Click on Browse My Computer > Browse to C:\Windows\System32, make sure include Sub Folders is ticked. Once you have done each of the 3 connections unplug the phone, restart your PC then reconnect your phone, see if it works.
If that doesn’t work then follow the above process until you get to Browse My Computer but this time Click
Let me pick from a list and install the drivers listed there In each one you should get a list of driver options that will suit that connection.
Other option you have tried which is to uninstall Kies but when you uninstalled it did you restart your PC then completely delete the Program Folder Kies is put in before re-installing it, also the correct Kies version might help there is Kies and Kies3 but you probably know that.
When you install Kies then connect your phone it should install the drivers automatically but if you have a firewall that could be blocking the installation but not informing you that it is doing this so try turning that off temporarily as well.

AS you can see that happened when i tried to find its driver manually as i also closed firewall , installed kies then restarted ...nothing happened :'(
EDIT:I managed to install the drivers but it gave me that error "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.Samsung Mobile USB compositive, Access is denied."

Can you tell me what is the folder name in System32 which has the drivers so i can change its ownership and make myself admin on it...Maybe that will work then I will be able to upgrade it.

Oh I figured out the problem i have to give permissions to upgrade the driver,which is in system32, but I don't know how to do that...:crying:

Driver fix for nook tablet (for when you follow instructions exactly)

Alright. This is for people who have followed instructions EXACTLY and cannot see "Nook Tablet" when they plug it in with the little /!\ next to it.
First, make sure that it's not loaded as an android device because generic drivers have taken it over.
Next, be sure to check for USB Mass Storage in Universal Serial Bus controllers. This is where some people have difficulties so I took the liberty to snap a picture from my desktop with what you need to uninstall and put a border around it to get my point across.

All you need to do is uninstall those drivers and you should see "Nook Tablet" /!\ when you scan for hardware changes. I know this because I had to do it.
Actually added in the guide for you folks.
Doesn't work for me. Tried it on two systems.
Did you have the drivers for the Nook Color installed previous to installing the drivers for the Nook Tablet? Now about the development environment for ADK.
I have both of those on my system(s).
I think I will create a new VM and do a fresh install there. Thankfully with a USB install you can install Windows 7 64 in about 10 minutes.
I haven't had Nook Color drivers.
Jerry, when I tried this before I too had troubles. I had to do a System Restore to a state previous to my having plugged in my NT. My thinking was along the same line as yours - once you have any semblance of a "normal" Nook installation (even a Color, it seems) you have to find a way to completely back out of that state. Your VM approach should get the job done. Just be sure to do the runmefirst step and check to make sure the .Android stuff is all done before plugging in the NT.
Here's how i fixed this issue on my system. Download Usbview www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Disconnect NT, open Usbview, remove all references to Nook and Android. Reconnect NT...as long as auto mount is off Windows will allow you to install the adb drivers.

in usbdview, do we "disconnect" or "uninstall" or "disable"? I'm going to try this method, if I can't get it all going I just realized I have a dual boot with WinXP on this machine so I will try doing it there.....Thanks to EVERYONE who has contributed to this issue, especially Indirect!!
You need to uninstall the drivers from Usbview.

Good find. I created a separate install and it worked fine.
That worked! In Usbview there were like 10 instances of various android and nook which I uninstalled. Also with Usbview, as soon as I connected the Nook Tablet, I could see which mass storage device it was I had to update the drivers on. Perfect. THanks again to everyone. Now I know I will keep the tablet. It is much better deal than the Kindle Fire which I also tried out.
Sorry, this is probably silly question, but how do I get Windows to recognize my newly rooted nook in explorer? It is connected and the nook says it is ok to move files to pc, but I can't find it in windows.....I'll try rebooting the pc....
OK, I rebooted pc but still not showing up in windows. I opened usbdviewer and there is an entry, actually 3 entries that seem to point to it, in fact one names it, says it is connected, and says it is drive letter u:. hmmmmm. The two other entries are "unknown" and also both "unconnected" and they refer to the same usb port that my nook tablet is plugged into. I suspect that they are the nook and its sd card and should be showing up as drive letters in windows, but they are not. I should be able to figure this out but I can't seem to.
GOT IT. Was in device manager as composite device (I could tell by the port) so I let windows automatically update the drivers and it reverted to a mass storage device and now is showing up in windows. Thank god.
I am trying to root my Nook Tablet, and seem to be stuck because my system is recognizing the preexisting Nook driver. I've used USBDeview to uninstall Android and Nook drivers, and tried (not sure if successfully) to disable automount. But every time I connect tablet, it automounts and installs drivers. So I'm not able to update driver to 'usbdrivers' that will enable me to root the device. I've looked online various places and cannot so far find a solution.
UPDATE: Every time I connect the nook tablet (after uninstalling drivers in USBDeview) win7 (64bit) says 'Installing Device Driver Software' and then installs tablet as 'USB Mass Storage Device' - I assume I need to turn something off to stop this from happening, so I can update the driver manually?

Recheck to make sure that both USB debugging boxes are checked on and that the Auto-Mount is unchecked.
That was my first problem, and those boxes fixed it. Later on, I could install the drivers, but the nook and zergy script would never recognize my nook, so I used another computer that has never had android drivers. (I even used USBDeview to uninstallall android looking drivers.)
Later, I reset the nook to stock and then followed the "Troubleshooting" section at on the article: "How to root the NOOK Tablet, install the Android Market" at lilliputing.com
I was then able to recognize the nook on my original computer.
Good Luck.

where do you set usb debuging and mount onte tablet?
Many Thanks!
Not to sound like a lot of others, but here goes anyways...
This site has helped me out more than a four-year degree in IT has! You all rock. Many thanks to everyone. I now like my new Nook. The B&N interface was way too limited.
I am absolutely a noob, but still learning.

Did you download the apk for the tgps launcher app? When you open it with package manager, click start, then development. Those boxes are on the next screen.
I don't have enough posts to add links, but you can download (directly from your nook) that apk on the main root page under: "here is an app to pull up usb debugging menu"
OMFG! I am going to throw my laptop out the F***ing window!!
Every time I delete the drivers for Mass USB storage and the Nook, Vista just automatically reloads them as soon as I refresh the device list.
If I do not refresh the device list then there are no devices showing to update the drivers for.
If I try to install the drivers manually I get the infamous 'Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date'
If I try to force load the drivers by telling Windows I have a disk and point at the drivers provided it tells me it didn't find an appropriate driver.
6 hours straight - this is killing me!
Anyone?
Ok, I think I know what might be happening here.
There are 2 (yes two) "USB Debugging" settings in the settings on the Nook. I wasn't able to get the "Nook Tablet" to show in Device manager. I FINALLY went back in, and saw the second (well in my case the first) USB Debugging option. Originally, I checked the second USB Debugging option. I went back in, and saw the first one on the menu. Once I checked that I saw the Nook Tablet device in device manager.
Edit - Note of clarification. Yes, these two USB Debugging options are on the same settings screen. If you see one, you'll see the other.

if it were me i would try uninstalling the driver and clicking the box that says to also delete the driver from your computer so it wont auto install back.

Anyone know a plan B for changing the drivers.

My win 7 PC and laptop both refuse to let me change them. Is there any way around this. Have done the usual, delete nook tablet, offered it my driver but Win likes theirs better!!

Hello claudiaa and welcome to the forum, there is a sticky FAQ where you will find a drivers issues section for troubleshoot. I recommend you to read the step by step tutorial.

If you are trying to root your device, you can always try the sd card as well.

I have done the sqlite3, the "install non-market apps" was already set to 1. Then I did ashell but it rejected me for not being rooted.
I searched again and cant find the section on drivers.

Thanks for trying. I had already done three of your suggestions before I started asking for help. The usbdeview was hopeful. I went into Device installation settings and saved "Never install driver software from Windows Update" deinstalled all Nook ref. from both NC and NT. Plugged in the NT and my PC installed the wrong drivers AGAIN within 5 sec. Same with my laptop.
Is there any way to root if I can't get past this problem?

What about deactivate windows update? if no go then your last hope is the sdcard method.
Edit: You don't have SDK installed, don't you?
~ Veronica
I've actually found that not plugging in the nook to your computer and then manually going in and adding a piece of hardware via the wizard tends to work. There should be an option to add an "Android Phone" to your computer. Then you just go through the process of selecting the drivers in c:\ntroot or whatever the file is. It should show up as Android Phone --> ADB device. Then you have to plug in the nook and update the driver for the Android phone and select the drivers in c:\ntroot. After you updated the drivers it should show up as Android Composite ADB Device, I believe.
Also, totally get rid of all the USB Mass Storage and Nook Devices w/ USBDev.
Try that and see if it works. I'm not really sure what I did to get the drivers to work on XP...at that point I was so frustrated that I as just doing things and not paying attention but I'm pretty sure that's how I did it.
No SDK.

I'll try your suggestions as soon as I can tolerate my PC. I'm starting to take it personal when it flips me a message "Windows has determined that you don't know what you're doing".

Claudiaa,
I believe i had the same problem that you are having. When your nook is plugged in go to your "usb mass storage device" drivers (i believe. It's the driver inherited by the drivers labeled "nook tablet"). Uninstall ALL OF THEM, unplug your nook, and reboot your computer. Log back in to the window showing the drivers for your computer, and an un-driver-ed device labeled as nook tablet and should show up with a little yellow /!\ in front of it. Right click on it and follow the driver installation instructions.
Hope it helps
Cheers!

Hi Claudiaa
What I did was use USBDeview to remove all references to USB Mass Storage Device. It seemed a bit extreme at the time but I was at my wits end and there were far fewer tools in Dec 2011. As I recall is took several attempts to pull it off.
Plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief it was!

I'm on Windows XP and the only thing that worked for me was to go into device manager and delete any USB device shown that had a hardware id containing 0x2080 (or something like it -- the Nook's id). With Nook tablet attached I went through all the instances of USB mass storage or USB root hub and deleted anything Nookish
Device Manager > right click on, eg, USB root hub > properties > details > pull down menu Hardware IDs > uninstall any device with 0x2080
Then I reinstalled the drivers from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19513995&postcount=1
And I was able to get ADB access. Not sure if this is similar for Win 7 - there should be a way to stop automatic driver install and direct the installer to your own INF file. Good luck.

Windows 7 after you get rid of all usb mass storage devices run diskpart in run window when you get the prompt enter disable automount after that scrub automount then exit. Check syntax first, it might be automount disable automount scrub. This will stop the automatic instalstion and drive letter assignment. Restart system. When the system is completley restarted and idle pluginnook with usb debug etc enabled make sure you are already in device manager on your laptop. As soon as see book come up right click on it and update driver using your drivers. My W7 would call it an android phone in device manager but it works. You may have to do this several times before you get the drivers to change. Hang in there you can do it. SORRY for spelling fat fingers and first reply
Thanks for all the suggestions, tomorrow I'm going to drag out my old XP and see if it will treat me better. It never met a Nook so it won't be so quick to mess it up.
If that fails, I'll be do what you said.

I've found a way to get ADB working on Windows 8.1. The trick is to use Intel's ADB drivers instead of Google's. We're going to need to manually extract the drivers from the installer because it doesn't recognize Windows 8.1 (ironic).
Bonus: This method of install ADB drivers doesn't require you to reboot without driver signature enforcement (because Intel signs their drivers like a good company should).
1) Download Intel's USB drivers from Intel's website (or my attachment). I don't have enough posts on XDA to be able to post the link but searching "intel usb driver for android devices" on Google has the correct webpage as the first result.
2) Download 7-zip to extract the drivers (if you don't already have it installed)
3) Right-click on the setup exe inside the zip file from Intel's webside and choose "Extract here" in the 7-zip menu. You'll probably get a warning about copying over files etc. just click yes to all.
4) Now open Device Manager and find the "USB Composite Device" that corresponds to the Android device. It may help to enter the "Devices by Connection" view (in the View menu). You'll want to keep expanding the device tree until you find the "USB Composite Device" that is the parent of your ADB device (and possibly the MTP device too). When you find that, right-click and "Update driver software". Click "Browse my computer for driver software" and click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Click the "Have Disk" button and browse to the directory that you extracted the drivers in step 3 then select "android_winusb.inf". You should see a single entry that says "Linux device with multiple configurations". Select that entry and click next.
5) After that installs, you should still see the exclamation mark by your ADB device (or you should see the ADB device with a non-working driver). Now you want to do the same steps as in step 4 except this time you should see 3 options when you select the inf. Click on the "Android ADB Interface" option and hit next.
6) You may need to reboot for ADB to pick up the device (or restart the ADB server)
Hopefully, this works for you guys. I did it successfully with my Ouya and Nexus 7.

I've found a way to get ADB working on Windows 8.1. The trick is to use Intel's ADB drivers instead of Google's. We're going to need to manually extract the drivers from the installer because it doesn't recognize Windows 8.1 (ironic).
Bonus: This method of install ADB drivers doesn't require you to reboot without driver signature enforcement (because Intel signs their drivers like a good company should).
1) Download Intel's USB drivers from Intel's website (or my attachment). I don't have enough posts on XDA to be able to post the link but searching "intel usb driver for android devices" on Google has the correct webpage as the first result.
2) Download 7-zip to extract the drivers (if you don't already have it installed)
3) Right-click on the setup exe inside the zip file from Intel's webside and choose "Extract here" in the 7-zip menu. You'll probably get a warning about copying over files etc. just click yes to all.
4) Now open Device Manager and find the "USB Composite Device" that corresponds to the Android device. It may help to enter the "Devices by Connection" view (in the View menu). You'll want to keep expanding the device tree until you find the "USB Composite Device" that is the parent of your ADB device (and possibly the MTP device too). When you find that, right-click and "Update driver software". Click "Browse my computer for driver software" and click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Click the "Have Disk" button and browse to the directory that you extracted the drivers in step 3 then select "android_winusb.inf". You should see a single entry that says "Linux device with multiple configurations". Select that entry and click next.
5) After that installs, you should still see the exclamation mark by your ADB device (or you should see the ADB device with a non-working driver). Now you want to do the same steps as in step 4 except this time you should see 3 options when you select the inf. Click on the "Android ADB Interface" option and hit next.
6) You may need to reboot for ADB to pick up the device (or restart the ADB server)
Hopefully, this works for you guys. I did it successfully with my Ouya and Nexus 7.

no such icon
I tried all that it it still does not work for me.
Neither intel or any other driver works for me. It Installs it, sure, but Device enumeration still fails.
Running Windows 8.1 if that has any baring on the issue.
Solved problem by connecting into USB3.0. I have motherboard integrated Renesas USB3.0, first I had to update USB3.0 drivers to work Android ADB interface
The same for me, it was only working with my USB3 slot and also with windows booted without driver signature check.

Worked for me with they USB 3.0 port!
I'm having this problem as well. When USB Debugging is turned on adb will recognize my device in Camera (PTP) mode but it will not recognize it when it is plugged in as a Media device (MTP). Unfortunately I do not have any USB 3.0 ports on my machine. This has become very frustrating because I can't retrieve files off of my phone or test my android app anymore :crying: time to use the emulator in the mean time T_T
EDIT: If I put the files I want to transfer into the DCIM folder on my phone they will show up on the computer after I reboot the phone while Camera (PTP) file transfer mode is selected.
Same problem here, since I tried 8.1 preview. Works for adb, but not for fastboot.

Hi,
What drivers do you have?
your problem is not drivers... from my point of view, you simply not understand how to activate Preview for Developers....
did you have Developer account or want Preview for Developers for free?
in case 1. you have Developer account:
- you must install WP SDK 8 and unlock phone with "Windows Phone Developer Registration" tool (available after WP SDK installation)
- on phone you must install Preview for Developers app from Store and activate updates
- check for update
in case 2. you want for free:
- go to http://appstudio.windows.com and sign in with your Microsoft (Live) account which use on phone, allow access and register
- install certificate on phone (you get link on email or open this link in IE on phone http://appstudio.windows.com/Job/GetAet)
- on phone you must install Preview for Developers app from Store and activate updates
- check for update

I have installed the WP 8.1 SDK , Developer Tools, Registration tools etc. I have also installed the ZUne. THe problem i face is that when i open the Windows Phone Developer Registration app so in the window it tries to detect my mobile but it fails due to not support of device. So i tried on Zune. Zune also doesnt recognize my device to transfer data. bro i know each and every step the problem is support of device.
for what you need Zune in WP8??? Zune is sync tool only for WP7... in WP8 is useless and not working...
also you not need WP SDK if you not developer (paying $19 to Microsoft for developer licence)
FIRST AT ALL: please clarify what you want and what you have.
if you not understand what i asking, please simply answer to this questions:
1. you want WP 8.1 update? YES or NO
2. you have DEVELOPER account (paying $19 or student developer)? YES or NO
if answers is 1. YES and 2. NO only what you need to do is case 2. what told you in post 3... and forget/delete Zune and WP SDK...
if answers is 1. YES and 1. YES then use case 1.
Thanks

also if nothing help, try install this (this install all drivers needed) and restart computer:
http://download.fds-ncom.nokia.com/...covery/NokiaSoftwareRecoveryToolInstaller.exe
also you can check official Microsoft help (look in Things to try)

also forgot to tell: if you installed other mobile drivers (like Samsung or similar), is possible this drivers make conflicts and you must remove it before installing Nokia drivers. in most case no problems or conflicts but sometimes this is problem...

Keep in mind that if your phone gets stolen someone could get to your sensitive stuff with it set to file transfer by default. Pictures and documents would be accessible.

I can not change default USB in developer options either. When I attempt to run adb my device is not recognized. When I enable USB tethering the only popup I get on my phone is to turn off debugging. I can not accept connection to PC. I think this is why I am not seeing my Pixel 6 in adb. I have att variant( I know but it was the only one I could get) I will see if it changes next month when I pay it off and unlock.

Do you have the official Google usb driver installed on your PC.
Universal usb drivers will not work on Pixel 6 series.
I do. Android studio doesn't recognize the device either, in fact it crashed Google's Android Studio when I tried to access through it

I also cleaned out all the unnecessary INF my PC and used a open third party app to make sure I didn't have a stray driver in the way.
Just a shot in the dark, but I can't help wondering if people with mysterious USB problems have AMD chipsets in common.

I mention AMD because their USB controllers have problems with some peripherals. It's a documented issue and I had my own USB nightmares with a Ryzen laptop a couple years ago. Kernel panics from bootable USB sticks was one of the problems. Replacing the laptop with its i7 equivalent solved everything.

I got persistent permission USB debugging for my computer and now stays in file transfer.
I went to dev options for default USB I selected USB tethering. USB default still greyed out can't toggle.
Then searched USB preferences in settings. I selected USB controlled by connected device. I immediately got permissions popup allowing me to give permission for USB debugging of my phone. I allowed always from this computer. I then changed to file transfer in USB preferences. Closed settings. Started adb and phone is now recognized with adb devices command.

Select USB tethering dev options
Search USB preferences in settings
Connect to computer
Selected controlled by connected device
Always allowed debugging from this computer in popup
Changed to file transfer in USB preferences.
Phone now recognized in adb with
Adb devices command
Automatically switches when I connect to my computer now
USB default still greyed out and won't toggle in dev options but adb works
I think I found a way around it with my ATT variant. Please let me know. I haven't posted anything anywhere before and may have forgotten a step in my excitement, or not been clear enough. Excuse any errors in terminology, I am new to this.

I'd say good progress as long as you're getting output from adb. fastboot should output too but it's not very useful without an unlocked bootloader.
Your descriptions make sense, I'm just short on suggestions because I'm not familiar with phones locked by AT&T except for the usual carrier barriers. Normally with phones that are carrier unlocked, no USB changes should be needed for file transfer mode other than selecting the option in Settings/Connected devices whenever the phone is connected. And for adb or fastboot only USB debugging needs to be enabled. For my Pixel and all phones before it, I've never had to tamper with USB settings in Dev options aside from enabling debugging to get it all working.
I agree. The bootloader will be unlocked in a couple weeks. Without adb it wouldn't matter if it was unlocked or not.
Now that permission has been given to my computer I don't have to mess with it. Wasn't about USB more about that certificate.
