hey guys, i had to recently un-install activesync and then i re-installed it. however, now my computer, (windows xp) will detect my phone, and give me that screen asking me to install the drivers. i let it automatically install, and it gives me an error message saying it couldnt find the drivers. so i guess the problem isnt with activesync, but with the computer not being able to detect the phone... what gives?? thanks
omar
i had the problem but i had the att disk so that solved my problem but i believe as long as you have ativesync the computer should automatically recogonize your phone as a windows mobile device ...

Hey All.
I am on vacation, and just brougth a new notebook (lovely Medion Akoya), and i want to sync with my diamond. However, i downloaded the active sync from the ms homepage, and i get the "Unrecognized device" error all the time.
Yes, i tried to use different cables, yes i tried to deactivate the advanced network, however, i doesnt seem to recognize it at all.
Even if i do a softreset + volume down, i just get the SPL1-40 screen, but eventhou my phone is plugged in the USB, it doesnt say that, only "serial" when i disconnect.
I've been searching this forum the entire day, and i cant seem to find a solution. So, i kindly ask the gurus help me
Diamond running 0.95 bePe and pc running xp sp3.
Kind regards, Heien.
Try to flash a stock ROM and check if you run into the same problem.
In order to sync, you must be running the handset normally, don't enter bootloader mode.
Did the system prompt you for drivers the first time you connected it to the PC? Activesync 4.5 provides the rndis drivers.
the problem is, i cant even flash my device, i tried to flash it, but i get a connection error with the tool.
I know about the bootloadermode, and that i am not able to sync in that state, but i just wanted my pc/diamond to recognize the connection between them. The system did not prompt me for drivers, it just went straigth to unrecognized device. i even tried to point the the driverupdate tool to the drivers folder with the rndis drivers in the as folder.
-i also tried to hardreset my device.
Try doing the same on a fresh stock XP install, without firewall or anything similar.
We need to figure out if it's a problem with the handset itself or your OS/PC.
Try another USB port (DON'T use hubs).
Enter bootloader mode. When you connect it to the USB, it should at least toggle from serial to usb.
If that's the case, at least your USb is working well.
I finally got my unlock code from tmobile today. The code worked fine but now im still unable to register the phone, stuck at the sign up or create screen. For the life of me i cannot get the drivers to install, windows keeps telling me it has the latest installed. The first time i plugged the phone in, i did not even know about USB debugging so i cant even use that at this point. How do i get windows to quit saying it has the latest drivers installed and use my own? ive tried just about everything. I even tried using a XP laptop and it automatically used its own drivers. I need to activate the wifi to continue registering this phone but without these drivers im stuck. Please advise!
anyone? ive tried this <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> and it does nothing on the phone or pc. The pc refuses to accept the drivers. It keeps on installing its own drivers.
me too...where did u get that from....wat is that supposed to do?
Just manually delete the drivers then install the drivers you want. This happened to me 2.
i went to device manager, choose the device. Uninstall the drivers, restarted the pc and plug the G1 in and still no go. Vista did the same thing, installed its own drivers. Did it on my dad's XP laptop as well and did the same thing. I can't turn on USB debugging if i can't get pass the Registration screen!
Choose UPDATE DRIVER, then specifically point it to the driver. Not just to the folder expanded folder, point it directly to the appropriate driver itself. Pick the right architecture folder (such as AMD64). I cannot emphasize enough not to let Windows search for an appropriate driver. You need to point it to the folder that contains the right .inf file.
i downloaded the usb drivers from off this site and i did what u said and it still gives me the same junk! damnit!!
you say you are stuck at the registration screen - do you not have a skip registration button, allowing you to get into the main OS. or, if you press menu can you not enter APN settings? that will allow you to register successfully
Ok then,
What rom are you using?
What version?
What radio?
What SPL?
What SDK?
You know, the basics.
I've just updated to 1.5.3.10093_80 and now Kies doesn't connect to my phone.... It just stays at connecting... What to do?
Mine too, on two different computers.
Ok.. It's working now.. I've reinstalled the drivers.. but now I have another problem... I can't save my contacts on my Pc... it says that my device isn't connected... :| Nice software developed by Samsung...
Sorry... It says that the device is in use...
I also get the message, phone is in use when I want do display my contacts on Kies.(I tried an older version of kies and also the latest)
Is there a solution for that?
Maybe it has something to do with themes, because before I installed the ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA-theme I was able to copy my phone-contacts to my pc via kies.
any suggestions?

So nobody knows how to fix this issue?
have you tried rebooting the PC?
disconect the USB devices first

Using Vista 64 I had sucess with:
1. Don't plug your phone to the computer yet.
2. Open Kies, from the settings turn off the options 'automatically start monitoring for device connection when Windows starts' and 'Start Kies automatically when device is connected'. For some reason the MTP installation failed each time Kies was open at the same time.
3. In Kies, click the Kies file menu on top of the application and select Driver recovery. Let it install the drivers, then reboot your computer (I only did this the first time).
4. Once rebooted, Kies shouldn't be running. Then plug your phone to the usb connection and select Samsung Kies mode.
5. Wait for the usb device to be detected and the drivers to be installed. Now the MTP installation shouldn't fail.
6. Start Kies and begin using your phone.
I cant get the firmware to upgrade tho... Kies still sucks.
Yeah Kies is pretty balls.

This site has another interesting fix that worked for me when the uninstalling /reinstalling the drivers didn't work. Its a simple tool that scans your internal and SD card and to show which have too long filenames. You have to manually delete them (usually just thumbnail caches), and then Kies worked fine! Well, worked fine in the sense that it finally detected my device and said I had a firmware update available, and then it crashed when it was downloading
Ok... I understand what you guys said... but my problem isn't that kies wouldn't detect my device... I have no problem with that, my device is detected, but when I hit the save to pc contacts button it says that the device is in use and I can't backup my contacts... :|
Please make sure that Bluetooth AND Sync are both turned OFF. The best way to do this is via the power control widget. Also if you are not using it then change back to the stock TWLauncher for interactions with Kies.

Hello
I have Froyo 2.2 I9000JXJPB
I used to be able to connect to PC but not any more. Im using Windows 7 64
I even tried and restored my laptop for factory condition and wiped out my galaxy.
Sometime when I connect the phone with the usb cable and PC would say unrecognized peripheral device and most of the times nothing happenes
it does not help if USB debug is checked or not
I even tried different usb ports in the laptop but nothing work
its driving me crazy
need help please
ok, put the phone in download mode and then connect it, try a USB port that connects direct to the motherboard, usually at the back of the tower.
also if that fails, try to uninstall kies and then re install it, that will re install the drivers.
then post back with the result.
EDIT: just realised your on a laptop not pc

Before postig my question I tired uninstalling and reinstalling kies. also tried driver reinstall option from kies
I downloaded the driver separately tried installing several times but it did not help...
Installation always endup with a message Device driver was not successfully installed
Unknown device device unplugged
Unindentified device device unplugged
If i recall correctly my problems maybe was with the last update with kies
if you go into computer > device manager and then select on the 'unidentified driver' you can select uninstall.
then start the process again, and also try installing it for the 2nd time with a different port.
Hey guys !
For some days my One just won't be recognized by my computer anymore. I neither changed anything on my computer nor on the smartphone. It's currently running ARHD 7.2 and my computer is on windows 7 Pro x64.
I already tried reinstalling HTC Sync Manager, completely removing the drivers using the device manager and I even tried installing several standalone drivers provided in the forums here at xda. Switching USB ports and USB-Debugging didn't improve anything, too.
Windows explorer just shows the HTC Sync Manager install disc but not the MTP Device, the driver install wizard says everytime i plug the phone in that the installation of an HTC MTP Device wasn't successful.
Also in the device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark on the device entry and it says that the device doesn't work correctly because Windows couldn't load the required drivers for the device. (Error code 31) (Free translation from german )
HTC Sync Manager even shows that there is an HTC One connected but i can't sync it and it doesnt show the device capacity.
The weird thing is that also the One X of my girlfriend isnt recognized by the computer, but on her computer running windows 8 x64, both devices are working correctly.
Thanks in advance
Have you turned on usb debugging
Tried both with and without usb-debugging on, but didn't change anything
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191279
Turn on usb debugging and change the cable that can work here is the link for drivers if it don't work
Even with the drivers from this thread, another cable and usb debugging on, it just doesnt work.
Strangely the phone is recognized at myphoneexplorer and I also can copy data from there, but I don't see my phone in windows explorer

One more thing make sure your phone is open and not locked that can help as well

Sounds like you have another driver in the system that is being used and not letting the computer load the HTC driver you need to copy stuff. Not to bad to fix.
Plug the phone into the computer.
First get to device manager. Control Panel/System/Device manager (right side)
Find the device the ONE is listed as should be toward the bottom under USB might have a yellow triangle on it. Right click on this device and go to uninstall. Make sure to select to delete everything (little check box) and after it finishes restart the computer. Unplug the phone and then install the HTC drivers linked above. Plug phone in and pray. If it doesn't work after that try another reset and if still nothing let us know.
I prayed like hell and still it doesn't work
Although I uninstalled the old drivers correctly, restarted my system and installed the new htc drivers, it still tries to install another driver when plugging in my phone.
USB Debug is turned on, and my antivir is deactivated, I'm really running out of ideas what to do next....

try it on a different pc see if its your phone or your pc
On another computer both phones work without any problems. That is whats so strange about it, just on this computer it doesn't work. Unfortunately this is an important computer and I cant restore it...
