No. You should install the drivers then your phone should be recognised, follow the root guide in this forum.

tbh the drivers are very temperamental, as I have windows 10 I had to restart the Pc disabling the driver enforcement. I had the same issue as yourself but I uninstalled and reinstalled and fiddled around a bit to get the drivers to work.
Now they are installed with no issues.
I actually used the "SP_Driver_v2.0" .. found HERE
I have also noted that another driver (Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip) is HERE but I think I had issues with that driver (dont know why)
The SP_Driver_v2.0 worked for me .. hope you get it sorted, i know how frustrating it is ;0)
Technically you can perfectly root without PC. But you need to have a custom recovery on your phone. To get the custom recovery, you need to flash it, using a PC.
But once you have the recovery, rooting does not require a PC, just the su binary.
If windows isn't recognizing your device at all, it might be a bad USB cable? I had issues with windows - ended up using linux.
i used SP_Driver_v.2.0 but doesn't work for me for preload, i connect my device and in device managment it is with triangle and it disconnects after 2~3 seconds and goes in offline charging. is there any preload driver for win 10 64 bit that actually works?
Same problem with my P9000.
Unable to get SPFT to see my device.
Tried hours, disabling driver signature, secure boot, many different drivers and SPFT versions.
It's frustrating. Can't update OTA to 20160810 version, FOTA installed firmware from july and tells me it's up to date.
Can i install newest firmware without PC and no custom recovery from device storage?

try installing Kies?
Its ok i got it to work. Went into download mode and plugged into my PC and windows installed some drivers, Odin detected the phone just fine. Then i booted up into android like normal but switched to PTP mode, windows then installed the MTP drivers (though it was already installed) then after that all worked well again
Please help...
Im having the same problem. But nothing seems to work for me. Tried everything possible. Re-installed drivers, connected in download mode, installed Kies, reset to factory setting..ALL TO NO AVAIL. I keep getting 'USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned...' message...
The solution isnt always the same for all users.. Fortunately mine was fixed by a simple driver install. I remember browsing the internet and found out that there is a way to fix it but it requires simple adb commands and the Android SDK.
Well I accidentally erased my OS and now I TWRP can not mount USB storage.
I tried pushing through adb but it said "device not found".
I tried connecting in fastboot usb but windows can not install driver.
I have no ROM on my storage and I'm stuck.
I really need help, please.
First install a working SDK/ADB tool folder (link in my signature)
Then the sideload should work via TWRP, it takes sometime to activate but stay tune it will work.
From there you should be able to recover a ROM

ADB does not work for some reason even though I followed your steps. Windows starts installing drivers and ends up failing.

Which Windows version you have? Is your account an Administrator one? Did you enable USB Debugging on your phone?
Can you can try those drivers?
I have the drivers installed, but I don't know about USB debugging. I did enable it on my previous ROM if that helps but since I cleared all my data, I have nothing in my storage and I also can't access it via TWRP.
I tried your adb steps but it still tells me "device not found".
And I'm on Win7 x64 and using an admin account.
Have you tried this?

Got it all worked out, thanks for the help.
Installed the latest drivers once again, downloaded the SDK files given on HTCDev and it adb pushed the ROM.
Worked like a charm.
Well here's the problem which is quite awkward.
I installed CM9 on my Sony Xperia GO from freexperia project. It worked really great. :good:
the issues is, however, after 3rd time I installed CM9 (I was trying to get CM10 FXP on this device), my PC won't recognize the USB device( i.e. my phone). I am pretty sure I followed all the steps, I wiped the phone after installation everytime. I have MTP (setting>storage>MTP).
I have all the drivers re-installed on my laptop (running on Windows 7). I have tried another USB cable as well. tried all the USB ports.. but I can't make this machine recognize my phone.
and please considering my expertise level, start from level 0.
a big thanks in advance!!

Try with latest flashtool mate. Connect your phone with USB debugging activated and from flashtool go: Devices-> check drivers. Could work.
No, didn't work

Did you try connecting your phone on fastboot mode and install drivers from control panel?
Yes, but there is no prompt for missing drivers

I tried to connect phone in fastboot and flashboot mode, however, there was no notification for missing drivers. Only the blue light on phone turned to red after sometime ( and green for flashboot mode). I had similar problem earlier as well (not the same one), back then the PC used to show that driver was missing for fastboot. I simply used to go to flashtood>Driver folder and used to install the drivers. It worked earlier. Not anymore though.
Could there be possibility that I messed up (during installation somehow) some phone file which accounts for connectivity with the system?
do you or anyone know which files in phone are responsible for such functioning?
USB not responding
Have you tried using a different USB-port on your PC?
Under Windows XP i have to reinstall all drivers when connecting a device to a different USB jack.
sorry for later reply

I think I tried everything. The weird thing is that the same system with same USB with same port sometimes reads the USB driver. but, when I restart the phone in bootloader mode, it doesn't recognize the drivers again. However, this sometimes is very rare, since the last message, perhaps 2 or 3 times.
Could it be possible that there have been any hardware issue?
Hi Guys,
I can't seem to get the USB to connect to windows 8.1..
I don't have a ROM on the device, just TWRP v2.6.3.0 and looking to put on CM11...
Device Manager has:
GT-P7500
PCI Simple Communications Controller
SM Bus Controller
All with exclamation marks. I've tried installing samsung drivers 1.5.27.0, rebooted, but no luck. PC just is not recognising, or more accurately, letting me use the downloaded drivers for this device.
Trying to use adb, but no luck on three pc's, all using win 8.1 (64bit)..
Any help appreciated.

Try a different USB port or another cable. You never know...

if you don't have Rom On your Tab you can't connect your tab to PC
you should flash original (stock) rom with ODIN and then install TWRP and install a custom rom

Thanks. I downloaded P7500XWLP6_P7500 (samsung firmware) and uploaded (downloaded?) to the tablet with odin and it seemed to accept it.
Rebooted the tablet, nothing. I can still go in to twrp, so I'm assuming it's not working correctly either. Should I be flashing with odin using bootloader?

I've been attempting to recover my samsung galaxy A8 from a brick, by flashing the original firmware for 3 days. I successfully got TWRP flashed, and couldn't connect to the phone using MTP, so I ended up using an SD card to transfer the firmware zip. Long story short, I tried to treble it, and it completely bricked, leaving me without TWRP, or anything to boot.
I've put it in download mode, swapped through 10 different USB C cables, and still can't get my PC to recognize it. I've tried two computers, one running arch linux, and the other one through windows 10 and arch linux. Nothing. Whenever I run "lsusb" I can't see the phone. I also can't see it in device manager.

I'm stuck without TWRP, so I can't adb sideload. I did try it back when TWRP did boot, but it still didn't recognize it (I tried lsusb and adb devices)

My phone doesn't boot. I deleted the system partition. It's on a bootloop, and the only thing I can do is access download mode.
I was able to plug it in. I used the sim card remover to try to clean up the port.. I'm seriously an idiot...
