[Q] PC won't recognize my sisters captivate, mine works fine though.

My sister has the same phone as me, and I havent flashed a new rom for her since she bought it. (shes running SRE 1.2.1a)
I had no problems with this phone before, but now when I went to plug it up just to backup all her stuff my PC won't recognize it. "USB Device Not Recognized" message on PC.
Its set on USB mass storage mode, and USB debugging is checked. I also tired manually installing the driver again, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Long shot but try a different usb port.
Where did you get the usb drivers. There are a couple of sources. Maybe trying a second source may help.

tried different ports, also just tried a different computer. Still no luck.
I want to try to just flash a different rom through rom manager, but i dont wanna brick it. If the phone is messed up she can at least use it with her old rom.

Where did you get the drivers. There are some provided by samsung, and there are different drivers that can be found on this forum

Both phones on the same PC? I'm guessing the could be the cause of the problem. First off, I'd try connecting her phone using another computer. You might try a fresh boot on the PC and the phone.
Did you "mount the drive" which is done from the pull-down menu on the 'phone which comes up right after the USB cable is plugged in. If that does not come up, I'd guess the "two phones on one computer" might be the problem.

Need help guys!

I just got my Note last week. I am trying to sync my phone to laptop. But somehow, it gets stuck on "connecting". Any tips or other alternatives? Thanks in advance. I plan on rooting my phone. Thats why I need to back up my phone first. Thanks in advance!

What OS are you using? Did you install the USB drivers?

Windows. Yes I in stalled it. But somehow it says that its not properly installed. And problems may occur. I dont know the reason. I tried, reinstalling it, but still same problem. Can I sync it wirelessly?

Hi.
I had the same problem, but it worked after I unchecked the USB Debugging.
Regards

Your problem is most probably the usb debugging uncheck it and your phone is in kiesmode

Try uninstalling, downloading from the country website your phone is from. Or your csc is from. Download from the N7000 page kies. Then install and run as admin. If it doesnt connect perform the connection wizard, or connection troubleshooting. that will reinstall drivers. These steps work for me everytime.

already tried. But when i plug my note to my laptop, still same problem. It says that not installed properly. The USB debugging is already unchecked. What should I do now? Should I try it in another computer?

Do a software update over wifi for your phone and downdload the latest kies from official website.

Sorry if this is a stupid answer but I was having a lot of trouble connecting my note to the PC. I was using a cable I used for all my phones that worked fine. Someone told me to try it with the cable Samsung supplied and after that it all worked fine. I just thought it might be worth trying.

I am using the Kies usb. i already downloaded the Kies via the samsung website. And After I opened it, it says a newer version is available. So I updated. I also tried the Kies air, I can see the apps on my phone, but I seem cant find where is the sync button for me to make a back up for my phone. How do i use Kies wifi? Sorry again for these noob questions. First time to use android phones. Thanks again!

Kies wifi needs phone and computer to be on same router

Kies Air doesn't do that. The main (PC) KIES app does. But, even if you connect through KIES, it will only allow you to back up things like contacts, photos, ringtones etc. It won't be a full backup of your system.
What can help if KIES doesn't see your phone:
1. Installing the latest version of KIES (which you already did)
2. Making sure your phone is in the MTP (not USB memory) mode. It should be as a default, unless you actually click on "USB memory" button when connecting to PC
3. Unchecking "USB debugging"
4. Running the connection repair wizard in KIES (I have a local language version, so I don't know the exact English name) - this reinstalls drivers - and then connecting again.
5. Trying a different USB port or cable
6. Rebooting both the phone and computer
If all fails, then probably this is a problem with Windows drivers. Repairing this would require a bit of expertise and involves booting Windows in safe mode, checking which devices and drivers are actually installed and removing any that seem suspicious. If you have never done that, an easier option would be installing KIES on another computer and doing the backup there.
Theoretically, running the connection repair wizard in KIES should clean and reinstall the right drivers for your phone, but in practice this doesn't always work as it should.

Cannot connect my Note to computer?? Missing drivers!

Hey
First time having this issue...my note keeps telling me that I Need to download driver software. No CD came with my phone. I've uninstalled kies and reinstalled. Very weird I can't think why its not connecting. I'm trying to add a rom to flash but grrrrrrrrrr lol
UPDATE...I didn't open kies and it is installing driver! U would think it would do it automatically.

Okay that did not work at all. Kies installed driver again and my phone still does not connect to USB or kies???
I'm on paranoid android v5 with hydrocore kernal. All I want to do is add this jb cm10 rom so i can flash it.

try connection troubleshooting from within kies
without usb debugging in developers section of phone settings

Tried that and still does not connect a thing. It was working fine other day. I'm running a scan to see if I have a virus cause it makes no sence at all.

I had the same issue the other day.. when i tried to connect the note to pc.. the MTP driver was failing and neither pc or kies was detecting the phone... but this happened to me when once i changed the usb utilities setting to connect it as a mass storage device... it connected as mass storage but later it wouldnt connect as media device. tried all sort of things like reinstalling drivers , kies.. tried on a diff pc... still dont work...
later i concluded that it was the phone and did a nandroid backup and then it worked....

Having the same problem with my note since updated kies 3 or 4 days ago. Read somewhere that using the solve connection problem from kies and then unppluging the pc from internet to connect de phone solves the problem though i didn't tried it. The problem is the new driver that came with the latest version of kies, shoud you get the previous drivers all with work again.

Hi @islandmixed,
You sir, are a LEGEND!!!!
Summit happened to my N7000 months ago... And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what had happened... I went through everything, followed many guides, tried many PCs and nothing....
Apart from wiping the ROM and starting again (which I didnt want to do, as all is working fine otherwise) I was at a loss....
Your answer here was spot on, and now shows up in Windows again....
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[Q] [q] Device will not connect to PC

Hi guys,
I have had CM 9.1 installed for some time on my galaxy. I recently discovered that my IMEI is invalid. So I downgraded to a stock ROM 2.2 via Heimdall, then proceeded to upgrade to CM 10.
My IMEI problem was resolved and the installation went smooth. The only thing is, now I can't connect the phone to my PC.
When connecting via USB, nothing. No prompts, no drivers.
I'll just note that the cable is fine.

...Hope u are not trying to connect to KIES with CM10 installed...That is simply of no use...at all!
Otherwise, try to enable USB debugging...

No Kies
Just want to get mass storage. the problem is I don't have the USB debugging panel.

Please let me know what exactly you did in order to get this done. We've bought some 10 S3 minis where I work and I've had no success in doing so. I've found no settings which would le me do that. My Galaxy Note has no problem with this at all. I also tried installing samsung usb drivers but no luck. The only thing that happens on the phone once it's connected is the sound of battery charging.

I hate it when a reboot solves stuff. Like this one. Spent hours figuring it out, at the end rebooted and all works now. Thanks anyway!

Sometimes plugging the USB cable into another USB port helps, well it do with me.

The all solution above are wonderful or you can always enjoy flashing a new firmware

Tried different usb ports and different PCs. Nothing worked until a phone reboot. For flashing stuff, right, but these are company phones and have to use stock FW. Mine is not using stock, but of corse!
