I don't have the phone yet, but basing it on previous android phones :
Can't u connect, ignore the popup for driver installation.
Select "Mount usb" in notification menu on ur phone.
There is a setting for it somewhere in the Settings to use USB Mass Storage.

and then on the phone you need to select mount drive
optionally, you can hook it up in KIES mode, and then you can drag and drop stuff to it
a loooot easier than Mass storage mode
you don't need to install Kies, only install the drivers

i know exactly how you feel, however, i dont have my sgs yet either to test and tell you, but i remember from the i7500 that this was not possible (at least for windows versions lower than win7) but there is an alternative that maybe could help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653336
this is a samba server for android, just put it on your phone, configure it and push the files onto the phone through wifi network.
My g1 isnt working with win 7.. I connected it but windows doesnt seems recognizing it...i installed android SDK manager, usb drivers from it but nothing happening....
any suggestion???
What isn't working? Are you trying to access sd card or ADB into the phone?
SD card: make sure to enable USB drive mode on you phone.
ADB: Set-up your SDK per numerous guides here on XDA or elsewhere. Download PDAnet to your computer, it will install required drivers (seems to be the best way around it). Make sure to enable USB degugging under development settings on your phone.
Good luck.
yup im tryin to access memory card but win 7 doesnt seem to recognize my fone, nothing happen when i connect my fone through USB...
n ya i enabled USB debugging but it dint work either...\and there is no Mount Option showing in fone either....
So there's nothing in the notifications saying "USB connected, Select to copy files to/from your computer?" Sounds like a bad cable/port/card to be honest.
I recently upgraded to W7 and it detected my phone and installed drivers automatically.
Hello again. I am attempting to root my new dell streak 7, froyo 2.2.2 stock, wifi only device using gingerbreak. I was advised from another thread I posted to download gingerbreak using my computer then transfer the file to my Dell Streak 7, since my device would not download gingerbreak successfully. I have tried to do this but my Dell computer will not recognize my Streak. I am using a stock usb cable. When I plug it in the Windows Device Manager comes up and wants to search for drivers. I have allowed it, not allowed it and even told it not to search anymore. None of this has helped. Then my computer says there was a problem installing my device and it might not work properly. It still won't recognize my device as being plugged in at all, but my Streak does recognize that it has been plugged into the computer. USB debugging is on. All I want to do is get gingerbreak on my device so that I can root it and get rid of all the stock stuff that came with it originally. I have searched similar threads but they didnt have an answer or were not the exact thing I needed. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Your computer could not find the driver for the Streak. You need to go to Dell website and download the driver for you computer operating system. Here is the link:
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=447160
After downloading the driver, unzip it to a directory in your pc. When you connect the Streak to the pc, windows will ask you for the driver. Make sure to enter the directory where you unzip the driver.

This is NOT true - If you're Dell Streak 7 has froyo 2.2.2 stock - it should recognize it automatically - just curious what version windows you're using...
Thanks! I am using win xp sp3. I really hope there is a fix because this is very frustrating. I did however get gingerbreak on the ds7 by dl'ing from the device while it was plugged in to my computer. Although i'm not sure if it is on the sd card or the device itself. It does show up on my device though. But I still need to hook up to computer for music xfer etc.
try dell's sync-up

No problem - for media transfer between your pc and your dell streak 7 - have you tried using Dell's SyncUP? You will need to download from this website to your pc and there should be an app SyncUP on your stock dell streak 7...

Have you tried the driver from Dell's link that I gave you? Yes, the computer should automatically recognize a device, but through my experience, nothing is perfect. That's why Dell posted the driver for people to download in case the computer did not recognize the Streak. In fact, here is Dell's description of this driver:
Set of USB drivers needed so Windows XP or Windows 7 can correctly identify the Streak & device when it is connected to a PC

/agree
My streak when stock did not recognize properly either with win 7 x64. Even the drivers in the folder for win7 and vista 64 wouldn't work. I think I wound up using the xp 64 drivers using compatibility mode.
Hope this helps!!

Man this is really getting me down. So I downloaded the file that you recommended from the link that you provided. After messing around for over an hour with the "dell download manager application," and about pulling my hair out over that worthless application. I finally just downloaded the file with my own browser (firefox 4.0). But it is a RAR file and does not give me the option to unzip it. I can pretty much download it to anyplace on my computer that I want but I downloaded it to the default which is my desktop. Then after running the device manager to install the ds7, my computer will not find the RAR file that I downloaded to the desktop. I have the option, as I said earlier, to download it into the existing dell drivers file that is on my computer but I actually have to put it in a file. There are several driver files listed there all starting with R and about 6 numbers after it, but I don't know which to put it in or if that is even what I should do. Suggestions?
After you have down'd the drivers from otmos's link on Sunday. Unzip the 16mb file to a suitable directory. Now when you install the drivers point the location to the Drivers folder in the directory that you unzipped ADB-Drivers.zip into and allow it to search for the correct file itself from there. Don't try to point to the individual sub directories.
Dell's SyncUP on it's own does not install the drivers.
Seriously? You have to go through hoops to get USB Mass Storage to work with the Dell Streak and Windows?
I just plug it in and tap the "Connect to computer" or whatever the screen is for starting mass storage. I rarely use it, but I did a few days ago to dump a few gigs of music over. Just worked in Linux..

..... he is referring to the adb drivers if im not mistaken ... that's for adb / fastboot This has nothing to do with mass storage mode.....

rar files are a type of compressed file, similar to zip, you need to use a program like WinRAR to extract them. Windows will not recognize the drivers that are compressed in the rar file. Once you uncompressed them into a folder on your desktop, do the device manager to install the ds7 like before, and direct it to find the drivers in that uncompressed folder.

Perhaps he's just over complicating it then if he can't get adb to work, just get it on the SD card and install it.
Thanks so much everyone, finally got it working. Had to install drivers for Nero mobile sync and the Nero mobile sync application to my computer. Now recognizes and has a gui for moving and transferring files back and forth.
Tried to thank everyone but only allowed 5 a day.
Thanks again.
First of all, i have tried to solve this problem for hours and so far i don't have found anything that could help me.
So my screen is broken, completetely black, and i would like to save some files from my galaxy S(files are NOT on external SD card). Connecting phone to computer doesnt help because i should turn mass media mode on, and thats kind of hard when the touch screen is not working. Kies recognizes my phone(tries to connect), but can't connect because i should turn some other mode on? I have read that it could be possible to save files with ADB and i even tried but i didnt find any suitable instructions. So could anybody tell me how to save my holiday pictures :crying:

Hi,
I have a solution for you
No need to turn on mass storage.
What you need:
USB cable
Working pc
Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
USB Driver http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
1. Download and install this tool: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/107423
2. Boot your phone into recovery (worked for me) ( volume up+home+power)
3. Connect your usb cable
4. Start Droid Explorer and search for your sd card

Thank you for your answer. I think i can't get my phone into recevory mode. At least Droid explorer doesn't find it. When i try to boot it into recovery, my computer makes that "connected sound" several times, so i think the phone really is broken... Also, when the phone is connected to computer with usb cable, and i put the battery into the phone, i can hear that connected sound immediately, so i guess the phone automatically boots on? Well i keep trying but i think it is not possible to boot this phone into recovery mode

What you need therefore is a (rooted) phone and USB debugging must be enabled - at least I never tried withouit thos options turned on. Since you don't need to do sthg with su I think technically you can go without root as well, but did never run it without so not sure on that. Hope you had USB debugging active before your screen broke...
Install the adb tools on your pc if you haven't already. (google is your friend )
What you want to do now is connect your phone to the PC, open up a terminal session (within windows e.g. execute -> cmd ) and then fire up those commands:
Code:
adb
lot of stuff, ignore - if it doesn't work: google installing drivers and the adb tools
Code:
adb devices
here your phone should be listed if it is in debugging mode.
then just
Code:
adb pull [pathToYourHolidaypics] [pathToSaveOnHarddisk]
so for example:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM Holidaypics
and you photos should be rescued. Good luck!

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, this method doesn't find my phone either.. I think that USB debugging mode was on but can't say for sure. Maybe my Samsung is just completely broken. I guess we are out of ways to recover files . Thank you for your help and of course feel free to post anything if anybody have any idea.

It should be in USB storage mode. I dont know what mode is on atm. Even Kies doenst recognize phone
Hi everybody,
I have a 64-bit PC with Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 and a Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 with Android 4.1.2.
I can't install a driver in order to make Windows recognize correctly the phone when I connect it via USB cable.
I've installed and uninstalled Samsung Kies many times with no results. I've also tried some Samsung driver from Windows Update with no success...
When I connect the phone, it is recognized as a MTP Device and the driver installation starts, but always ends with an error, as shown in the attached screen-shot image.
What can I do?
Thank you very very much.
Note: in another PC with WinXP I have no problems.
Firstly make sure phone can run MTP (make sure if you delete MTP releated stuff in system you won't able connect it. Re-flash with Odin) Now if you don't have problem with phone then uninstall drivers & KIES from Windows. Don't just do a uninstall clear temp files, dll files, registry entries (you can use CCleaner) then install THIS DRIVERS.

Hello, thank you for your answer.
How can I make sure my phone can run MTP?
For the complete uninstall, is it enough to run CCleaner, uninstall Kies and then perform the Registry Cleaner in CCleaner?
Thank you

Did you root phone ? or installed a ROM or you just using it stock ?
I noticed something too; if you any have PIN or Password you have to unlock phone otherwise MTP not works. Unlock it and try too.
CCleaner will *probably* be enough but if you want to make sure go to regedit.exe and go to;
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/
Then delete KIES & USB Driver stuff (don't delete system USB configs & drivers just Samsung's softwares )
EDIT: In start menu click to RUN (or whatever I don't now it's name in English, you're entering a text) Then write
Code:
%AppData%
Then delete KIES & Samsung folders and files.
I've just Updated the phone firmware from Android 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 with Samsung Kies on my WinXP PC.
I've deleted all Samsung Kies registry entries.
Now I'm going to install the driver you suggested...
Let me see results...

I think it is the configuration of this PC, because in another brand new PC with Windows 7 I've installed Kies and it all went right.

Have you tried to reboot phone? I lost mtp after charging phone over wall charger. Everytime I need to reboot after charging to get it connected to pc.

This may be a bit silly but is important to ask.
Was your PC connected connected to the internet while installing the drivers??
Did you unplug your phone while the drivers were being installed??

I've just tried to reboot the phone before connecting it to the PC, but I get the same error (see attachments).
Last year I managed to connect the phone to this PC, but, in any case the connection got interrupted after a while (see this thread).
I don't know what to do...
I had the same problem when i formatted my PC 2 days ago. I did some trial and error and it worked.
1. Dont use any USB Hub if you are using.
2. Remove the Pattern lock or any password security etc. Go to lock screen and select 'None'. (I dont know why but windows doesn't recognise if the device is locked)
3. Have Kies installed. Even new version worked for me. I used 2.5.13043_14
4.Connect your device with the USB cable (Should have MTP option selected which is by default)
5. Windows automatically recognises now and installs the necessary files.
P.S:- Remove the security pattern, etc. It really works.
If worked then pls reply.
Hello,
I've disable any screen lock on my phone and I've connected the USB cable to another USB port (a 3.0 USB port) and Windows magically recognized correctly the device! (no Kies installed, only drivers)
Anyway, after some minutes of usage (cut-paste of files). Windows stopped recognizing the device...
If I disconnect the phone and then connect it back, Windows still recognizes it, but I have few minutes until the device stops being recognized and no file on it can be read...

Did you download newest version of drivers? I see in your screenshot it says 2012, on mine it is 2014.
Did you set Windows to gather drivers automaticaly from the internet?

This is how my PC recognizes my phone. The driver seems to be old, but I've configured Windows for downloading drivers automatically and that is all it can do.
Today, th PC did not recognized the phone at once. Then I unmounted and mounted back the MicroSD card and the PC recognized it.
But, after few seconds of folder browsing, the PC lost the connection. I'm thinking that the problem is the SD card.
Solved!
Solved!
It was the USB cable.
I replaced it with an original one and now it works.
Thank you everybody for your effort!
