Team,
For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.
64bit:

32bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.

The standard Samsung USB driver that PDAnet had listed for the Samsung Moment worked for me as well, will give these new ones a try on my other system.

thank you
I added a link to this thread in the sticky

EDIT: Nevermind the n00b question. I was able to get the drivers installed and I am good to go.

have the same problem. i'm on 7, 32bit

did you enable USB debugging?
Gunnman from Galaxy S

yes of course. first thing I did after I rooted

I'm drunk so bear with me. go into device manager and browse for the driver manually ,include subdir. point to programfiles\samsung.
if that don't work use the 64bit drivers on 32bit windows. don't run setup just browse to the extracted dir from the unknown device in device manager. it worked for me at work. good night
Gunnman from Galaxy S

since i had issues w/ the 32bit driver exe, i extracted it and zipped it up incase others have the same issue.

this thread should be stickied since W7 doesn't come with the drivers, it seems.

Anyone?? I can't get get adb to recognize my device for the life of me

Try both 32bit and 64 bit drivers. At work I have 32bit win7 and the 64bit drivers fixed it up. Dont run setup just go through device manager chosse the unknown device and point it to the 64bit driver directory and check include sundirs.

Try using correct drivers for your win version but turn the phone off, connect and then power up while connected....worked fine for me after messing with both lots of drivers first and no luck

Make sure you select "USB debugging" for ADB to work folks.

Where can I get the mac driver..i looked everywhere please help

this thread is legit!

thanks for all of your help so far guys.. BUT i still cannot get my laptop to sync up with the phone properly (win xp pro, sp3)...
I've downloaded and installed both drivers and the computer is recognizing the external drives, but they are showing as removable disks E: and F:. when i double click to open, it is telling me to insert a disk? i feel like i'm almost there, but there is somethign i'm missing!
usb is mounted and usb storage is off. usb debugging enabled.
any help would be appreciated.

Windows drivers issue
Have you tried mounting the drives. Same thing happened to me when you have it connected to the computer drop down the usb notification and mount. The your drives should be accessible.

[Q] Driver problems

Struggling with getting any computer to recognize my I9000. Both XP and Win7 fails to load MTP USB device. That said XP is not complaining, it loads something that seems generic, "MTP Device" along with Samsung Android USB Modem and Samsung Android USB Composite Device
MTP Device uses files wpdusb.sys and wudfrd.sys . Is this right, or should the device look for diffrent drivers and what files SHOULD it use?

On win7 it displays "Android MTP" as opposed to "I9000" the few time it used to work.
Tried the alternative drivers.
Tried the long file extensions tips.

Did you try disbaling launcher pro / launcher pro? So stock tw launcher is working? And wiping the internal sd? Had issues, but this worked first time on win7
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

TWlauncher/Launcherpro is checked from the list many days ago yes, had it working with Kies only a few days ago (granted after a lot of "tricks" and then suddenly working for no obvious reason).
Been holding off the internal sd format and factory reset. Thats my next step.

No luck. In XP it shows up as "MTP Device" under "Portable devices". Is this how its supposed to look like, or should it be recognized as "I9000"?

And finally. Trick this time was to have Kies running (win 7), also battery where taken out once (telephone locked trying it in XP). Internal SD unmounted, formated, remounter and then factory reset in "privacy".

Just finally solved the same problem for Windows XP. Here the solution:
- uninstall MTP device driver
- I don't know if necessary but I did - remove from windows all related files : wpdmtp*.*
- !!! download Windows Media Player version 11. It contains updated drivers.
- install the player
- connect your device
Now it's recognized in the Device Manager as GT-I9000. And Kies immediately connects to it.

For future reference, how did you uninstall MTP device drivers?
We wont be the last to have trouble with this procedure...

while device is connected you can click right mouse button on it and choose "uninstall"

[CM7.1] USB tethering - driver(?)

Hi all,
i'm trying to thether my phone with windows xp but windows requires the following driver
"LGE Android Phone"
i've tried:
LG USB Modem Driver
LG United Mobile Drivers
LG Bluetooth Drivers
LG Android Driver
SDK Drivers
but nothing is working.
do i need a special driver? i'm running the nighlty 177

I had just the same problems when using the CM7 mod for the first time... I also searched for driver and installed many things without knowing if it will work... then just tried to connect the device with usb-debugging mode and windows (7) suddenly installed some drivers and my phone got connected to my pc...

You need an extra driver for XP
For XP an extra driver (Remote_NDIS_based_Internet_Sharing_Device) needs to be installed for tethering
See this thread for the driver:

ADB Driver installation issues Windows 7

Hello,
I wanted to root my new Sony Xperia T and I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460.
However I needed to install the ADB drivers and I am having extreme difficulties in doing so. From my limited knowledge on the subject I guessed that the ADB drivers are installed when I plug my phone into my computer. When I plugged my phone in windows installed two drivers. When I then went into device manager to see if my phone was registered as an android device but it wasn't. It was instead listed as a portable device. I also tried running
Code:
adb devices
but this ended up with an empty list. Despite this my phone appears in My Computer and I can transfer files to and from it easily.
After looking on the internet for a while I found I needed a few things installed. So I removed the drivers, installed the Android SDK with SDK-tools and the Sony PC companion as well as turn my phone to USB debugging. I then retried windows installed the same two drivers and it again was listed as a portable device.
I looked up this issue and found suggestions to restart the SDK-tools ADB server, restart my phone, update drivers, unlock my phone and install PDaNet. These all ended with the same result. I also found a suggestion to update the drivers by going into the Android SDK and using the driver in there. This didn't work though as Windows said the current version of the driver is the most up to date. I tried various techniques suggested to get around this but I was unable to.
Any help on how to install these drivers is greatly appreciated. My phone is about a month old, unrooted, Sony Xperia T (LT30p). My computer runs Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
Thanks,
JamesStewy
(I may have forgotten some of the things I tried to get it to work yesterday so please suggest anything )

Download flashtool and install the drivers from the driver folder in there. They are the only drivers I ever install.
Use the Tx, flashmode and fastboot drivers

It was kind of nightmarish to get the phone recognized for me as well. I managed to solve it (after may trials and errors) by manually "updating" the phone drivers once it was connected with the ones in the pccompanion folder; specifically the ones called sa0105...

I found the drivers in the PC Companion folder except I was unable to install them either by right clicking on the inf and clicking install or by going into device manager right clicking on my phone -> Update Driver Software... -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Enter in PC Companion drivers folder -> Next -> Windows Message (attached file). Is there another way of installing the driver? I also previously tried getting windows to not install the drivers when I plugged my phone in but nothing I could find on the internet worked.

Sorry for being a bit of a n00b but what is a flashtool and where do I get it? Also, same as previous, I can't find anyway of overriding drivers (I have gone through about three pages of google but can't find a solution that works for me).
Thanks again for your replies,

Flashtool is THE tool for use with xperia devices. Look in the first thread of the development section.
It should be the first thing you download when you get an xperia device.
EDIT
No need to post your thanks. If you feel the need to express gratitude to anyone on xda just their thanks button

The way I did it was to plug the phone in, wait till the automatic driver installation failed, and then in the device manager I selected the phone and went thru the "update drivers" procedure. You must select the specific folder where that driver is, not the parent, or windows won't detect it. In my case that folder is named
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Sony PC Companion\Drivers\{2CD1390C-A74E-434A-B652-73D3683B3BEF}
which is quite a weird name; just look for the folder with sa0105* drivers inside, and that's the one.
By the way, I never had a "WPD composite device". This is how it is shown now in device manager:

I saw this method on the internet but the weird thing is is that the drivers install correctly, first time, every time. See attached pictures.

¿Could it be that you have two phones detected?, as my pc only shows "Xperia T", no trace of "LT30p"; and the adb driver is in a category of its own.

I have no idea. I only have one thing connected to my computer which is my phone. I don't have an adb, Sony or android node in device manager at all.
JamesStewy

I don't know what else to tell you then. You might try uninstalling the LT30p, and forcing the upgrade to the pccompanion drivers I talked about before. But this is a wild guess, I can't really help you any further.

It's your adb installation correct. Have your added it to the path in environment.
Do you have usb debugging on in settings on your phone.
What was the error when you installed the flash tool drivers
What dies flash tool say when you attach the phone whilst it is open.
As the post above says, you could uninstall all phone/Sony/adb software and drivers and re install them.
I have never heard of this issue and just installing flash tool and/or pccompanion is enough to install all the drivers

I am not sure. Is the adb installation part of the Android SDK platform-tools? If so I think it is. I can use all the commands such as adb devices but this returns and empty list. And yes it is in my PATH environment variable.

When you say install, what do you mean? If you mean the process I described in a previous post then I get the message attached (untitled2.png).

Is the flash tool called EMMA or something? I downloaded it of Sony's site here: developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/. If so I can't get in because I am still waiting for a confirmation email.
As the post above says, you could uninstall all phone/Sony/adb software and drivers and re install them.

When I uninstall them and plug my phone back in the drivers on the phone install to my computer. Pictures attached. These drivers have nothing to do with ADB and only allow Windows to transfer files to my phone.
JamesStewy

No, flashtool I'd found in the first post in the development section.
Please download it, install it, and ruin the driver.exe found in the driver folder of flashtool in the installation path.

Xperia T - adb problems
I also tried all sort of things until this:
- you must put your phone in Mass Storage mode, as default is MTP mode.
As simple as that.
On your phone (unpluged) - Settings / Xperia / USB Connectivity / USB Connection Mode - and select MASS Storage, not MTP. I did uncheck Install PC Companion. Plug USB back, put your phone in debugging mode - It work right away. No need to Update drivers, no need to change the android_winusb.inf. You may need to kill adb.exe before trying again adb devices.
That was it for me

Hi laplada27,
Thanks for your reply. When I get home today I will give that a go.
Thanks,
James

Installing drivers 8.1
I am trying currently to update my T, it has an unlocked bl that I did when I first got it in Dec 12.
I am running w8.1 64 bit.
Tried both mass storage mode & mtp mode.
I have the latest 64 bit version of flashtool installed.
I am trying to flash the 295 generic ce ftf android 4.3 update, no problems with the ftf itself.
The error flashtool spits out is that the drivers are not installed, either the adb or flashmode drivers.
I have repeatedly tried to install the drivers that come with flashtool, and it appears that they install, but
there are a few that won't, I think namely the above.
I note that when I have device manager open, it detects the T, when plugged in in flashmode (i.e. turned off, with volume down)
as an s1boot device. I have intercepted device manager several times when it does this, in order to try and update the drivers
by hand, but no luck.
When I first plugged the T in in flashmode mode, it installed some drivers automatically, however, not ones that will allow flashtool
to work.
In truth I am now scratching my head as to what to do next.
I never had any problems with w7 64 ultimate flashing the T, solid as a rock, all the drivers would install as required, and I am
thinking the easiest way to update my T would be to use a w7 based machine, however, if anyone has any more ideas as to
what might help me flash it using 8.1 then I would be very grateful to hear them.

I think there is a patch for Windows 8.1... Search the forum and you will find it.
Good luck!

[solved] win7 64 bit MTP drivers - cannot connect internal nor SD card to explorer

Hello,
my Z is connecting fine to Win 7 32 bit for file sharing in MTP mode, but on 64 bit MTP drivers are not installed correctly. It appears as C6603 model in device manager, but doesnt appear in explorer, so I cannot shift files. Used this drivers:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-driver/
Also SUS, PC Companion, Flashtool drivers, adb drivers, root flashing with doomlord kit worked.
Is there some way to copy the drivers manually to right place or can someone attach the files for win7 x64 here
Is there a workaround to copy files to the Z if there is no driver fix, it seems also other smartphones have trouble on MTP connection with win 7 x64. I know Airdroid. Maybe a app using usb tethering?

First unlock your device when it's connected.
Second tell us what rom are you using.

Problem resolved. You have to install windows media player 12 on win 7 x64.

No. The same problem is with me and I'm having WMP 12.xxx but still there is a device in the device manager named MTP IP which is not installing anyhow.
