Device Won't Connect to PC - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For the past week I've been trying solution after solution found from the net to try and get my HTC One to connect to my computer and show up as a portable device. I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1 with all updates possible, latest drivers and chipset drivers and even installed optional drivers to try and fix the problem. I've tried USB Debugging and nothing happens, tried uninstalling all drivers from USB device manager and reinstalling which also didn't work, tried installing MTP drivers seperatly, nothing happens, tried windows update's htc drivers, they fail to install every time.
My problem in short is, I cannot get my device to connect to the computer so I can use the storage space to add/remove/edit files on my phone.
I've recently tried a program called "DoubleTwist" which actually got the HTC Sync Manager to recognise my phone, but even that shows no storage available.
My details:
Windows 7 SP1 x64 PC,
HTC One in metallic blue 32GB,
HTC MTP Device Drivers Failed
MTP USB Device Drivers Failed x3
Developer unlocked,
USB Debugging On/Off
I can edit in any additional details required.

Umh, connect the phone at the pc, go to Device Manager (windows logo + x -> device manager), and unistall all the voice about the one.
After go to the control panel, and unistall the htc driver from here.
Now, install HTC sync.
For me and other friend worked.

I've tried uninstalling the failed drivers but they still fail every time i plug the device in, It's not really a problem with htc sync manager as I've pretty much given up on that already. My problem is that I can't get my computer to recognize my device, only as a cd drive which is for the installation of htc sync manager and and relevant drivers.
I've tried your solution 5 times before and it doesn't fix the issue as it's the drivers failing to install and the fact it won't accept drivers for my usb device for MTP or pretty much anything related to my device.
Anyone know of away to remove the bad drivers and install fresh working ones without crippling the use of my mouse and keyboard? because windows suggests I remove the usb host controller drivers which kills the use of all usb ports on my computer, meaning i have to replug them in turn re-installing the usb host controller drivers at the same time.
still got the problem of not being able to connect my device and have it recognized, by the computer as mass storage, removable storage, or MTP. that is the real problem I'm trying to fix, after that I may consider trying to get htc sync manager to work.

Any help at all would be nice... Anyone?

I guess my problem is unfix-able then, just to make it clear, i don't give a stuff about the sync manager, i just want to be able to have my computer recognize my phone so i can access it through my computer...

Got the exact same problem, work PC won't recognise the device. Haven't tried home just yet as this is the first it has occurred. Software update a couple days ago.
Called HTC - no dice, they keep saying install HTC Sync and the drivers.
Anyone else come across this issue/have a solution?

I posted in a different thread, but let me sum up again.
I had a couple of people reporting this issue on Win7 - phone connected to USB, came up as android device with exclamation mark in Device Manager. It really made me think what could have happened, because it was working a week before. I tried different cable, different drivers and realized it was something wrong, when even my phone was not recognized on my friend's PC, yet both of the phones (mine & his) were recognized on my notebook with all the cables and config.
It turned out, that he installed malware stuff and the culprit was iLivid and his friends. It blocked the usb connection somehow. After running Malwarebytes in safe mode, which removed a tons of sh*t, everything worked again.

PC not recognizing Captivate after Root

Hi,
I have rooted my Captivate and now I cant get the device to be recognized in windows 7 (64-bit)
I have tried installing the "SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2" drivers for Win 7 (64-bit); enabled USB debugging on the phone and also selected USB Connected menu to copy files from/to the computer. The PC is able to recognize that a USB device is plugged in but detects it as a Unknown device.
When I manually attempt to install the drivers from device manager, it detects the device as for "Samsung Android USB Composite Device" but ends up saying that the device cannot be started (Code 10).
I have also tried plugging it into a different USB port just to check off a problem with the port.
Appreciate any pointers regarding this.
Thanks
Issue exists with WinXP
Update: I just tried the same on my WinXP (32bit) laptop and still the same issue. This is driving me nuts!
Check the port on your phone and make sure your cable is fully seated. I had an issue once with mine doing the same thing but it was just my cable getting caught on the little slide protector.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I did move it to a different port and also as I mentioned above tried it on a different PC. Both have the same problem.
Have you tried the galaxyS drivers?
Grr I cant put links in here for the wiki where its locked.
I installed the "usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64" drivers and plugged in the phone. It recognized the device correctly and I am able to see the phone in Explorer. I didnt have to enable USB debugging as well.
Thanks for help.
Glad it worked. Watch out for the keys program as well. It we over write the drivers with ones that dont work.

[Q] Captivate USB problems

Hi everyone,
I have an AT&T Captivate SGH-i897 (2nd hand) and i can't mount the phone to my laptop (winXP 32bit). When i plug in the cable to the phone and then the PC i get the "device not recognized".I've donwloaded the Samsung drivers from the xda wiki page and extracted them and tried to update the driveres via Device Mng ,but didn't work.Also dl'ed the Samsung drivers 5.0.x instaled ,and still nothing.USB Debugging is on...
So to recap,my top can't recognize the phone('s internal sd card) so plz help ???????
Try this, go into usb settings and choose "mass storage"

install kies
I would also recommend trying to fully uninstall all the drivers that associated on your pc with your phone (samsung or otherwise), and then reinstall the drivers before you plug in your phone. Then try to reconnect.
Just covering the basics. Assuming your phone is working correctly.
You have tried multiple USB ports on your computer, particularly those on the back if it's a desktop.
You have installed correct drivers (x86 or x64)
" for the correct operating system.
You have uninstalled the drivers before trying to reinstall.
You've tried to get Windows/ Mac to find them online (assuming you're using versions of OS that support doing that)
You've first tried Kies mini before full version, uninstalling in between. (Kies full version isn't supported for US, there are workarounds, but that's a different discussion)
On the phone you tell the phone to connect 'USB storage' (from the pull down menu after connected or in the settings)
I too am having problems with USB connectivity on a notebook with Win7/64. The usual failure mode is Windows not recognizing the USB device. I have followed ZBigT's basics, step by step and still cannot connect.
FWIW, my registry is awash with Samsung entries, some of which cannot be deleted.
I've even tried the AIO Toolbox application (to install the 64 bit drivers) to no avail.
Any other tips?

Yes. Still no love. Have tried:

SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2
mini-KIES
Kies
AIO
uninstalling reinstalling each time
When I plug in the Captivate, any of 3 USB ports on the laptop, Windows gives the "Unrecognized Device..." message.
Go to settings/about phone. Look at the very bottom to see what rom you are running.

FWIW, I also have a Win7/64 desktop with the usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 installed and that works fine; can connect see "drives", use ODIN, adb commands etc.
It just the notebook, which I would like to be able to use to connect, especially when I travel, which has issues.

Check in program files for a Samsung folder. There may be remnants from old drivers that need to be manually deleted.

Thanks for sticking with this. I was able to connect. I as focused on the Registry remnants, but your advice to clear out the Samsung folder in Programs worked. Thank you.
Additional comments: I am now running the Dlev ROM, it's OK, but when I plugged in the USB cable, just to the phone, it launched the Alarm Clock app! So I deleted that.
Then on the first of my four USB ports I got a USB driver failure to install, then the Windows Unrecognized USB device on ports 2 & 3. On port 4 it worked. (This is a Lennovo/Thinkpad notebook.)
I used the usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 package as that also worked on my desktop.
Thank you very much.

[Q] USB Debugging/Mass Storage Mode connection to computer issue

Hello folks,
I'm facing this "please insert a disk" issue when connecting my Note to computer via USB Debugging mode / Mass Storage Mode.
I'll let screenshots in the attachment explain itself. #1 shows the screenshot of devices menu when the phone is plugged into the computer in DEBUG mode; #2 shows the screen after I've clicked "connect USB storage" from the drop-down list of the phone; #3 shows what happens when I try to open one of the two "removable disks".
MTP mode works fine, as well as Kies connection. As I finally started exploring the potential of Android platform, I realized that MTP and Kies connection are the most useless connection options for me, and I'd rather leave it in debug mode all day. So has anybody experienced this issue, or had any suggestion on the solution?
As always, many thanks in advance, and many thanks button clicks afterward!
p.s.,
Desktop OS: Win7 Pro X64 SP1
Note: 2.3.6 Stock LB1 Open Germany Firmware, CF rooted LB1 kernel.
Also, I should have all the latest official device driver from Samsung, as I have the latest version of Kies installed (and I discovered a driver folder under Kies' installed location). I'm not so sure about adb driver, but I was able to find the Note to be listed under devices by typing "adb devices". So.. I don't know where could've gone wrong.
Help anyone?
This really sounds weird... I was facing problems of the Galaxy Note not being detected on several Windows7 32/64-Bit SP1 computers as well but this was gone after I installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.
You are right - from all that i know all required drivers should be available when KIES is installed on your system. Whatis even more strange is that your device seems to be detected as two partitions are available and are displayed in Explorer...
So I would test the following:
- check if your device manager lists any unknown devices
- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those
- check all available USB ports and see if this solves the problem
- try another USB cable
- make sure your (external) SD card is formatted with a Windows compatible file-system e.g. FAT32
Hope this is helpful and helps solving your problem.
Thanks for your reply!
My device manager basically listed all the drivers/devices associated with the phone:
My Device manager shows devices:
Samsung Android Composite ADB interface
Android UMS Composite USB device (x2)
SAMSUNG Android USB Modem
USB Mass Storage Device
USB Mass Storage Device (Android)
I've attached the screenshot when all the drivers being installed when the phone is firstly connected to the computer. Also in the device manager, everything shows "this device is working properly"
I then decided to test with another Note of my friend's (On the same computer). Her Note has no SD card in it, and is completely stock ROM non-rooted LA4 Open Germany firmware. The same thing happened.
One thing worth mentioning: Yesterday, this worked only for once. When I initially encountered this issue, I restarted my computer, and boom, my phone was connected in Debugging mode! However, once disconnected, and I tried to connect it to the computer again, this issue came back. And afterward, no matter how I restart my computer, the phone won't get connected.
I also tried all USB port (USB 2.0 and 3.0), three different cables (2 of them are Samsung OEMs) and failed to address the issue.
I'm nearly exhausted but I will never give up, as this is my only computer and my only phone (haha), and without solving this issue, I'm never gonna be able to view the phone as a USB storage and easily transfer the file from my computer to the phone.
I'm going to try the last thing that I haven't done from the list you posted:
- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those
I believe that I can keep the driver folder in the Kies' folder, as I believe those are the newest Samsung driver, given that the Kies was the latest release version.
So far, I can only conclude that this issue is not related to specific phone but the Windows 7.
And thank you for your help btotaku!
If anyone has any insight into this issue, please help me. Thumbs up for you!
BTW, I was able to extract both SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe from under Kies' installation path under Program Files x86 folder, and an uncompressed folder of all kinds of drivers for Samsung device, called "USB Drivers".
And looks like I was wrong. The newest version of SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones I had was 1.4.8. While the driver that came with the newest Kies was 1.4.103
I'll post back soon
Reinstal Windows on your PC bro.
Problem fixed.
is that your internal memory or the sd card?
Same thing happens either with SD card in the phone or not

I9305 usb connection/driver problem

I've added a few apps to my S3 and altered a few things on my PC and now I can't connect via mtp or ptp. It goes through the usual "installing drivers" and then fails. I've tried pulling the battery and removing the sim and micro sd card then putting everything back. Tried it without the card (currently having to transfer files via a card reader so - at least the card's fine) but to no avail.
I've had a go at uninstalling the drivers through the device manager, rebooting and scanning for hardware changes. I've tried downloading the drivers without kies but it didnt work out (I cant remember the site or the url, but ended up with the following file SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones) It didn't auto install but even when I tried to point Windows to the folder on my C drive, nothing.
I've spent a couple of hours trawling the net including on here and tried all sorts.
I'm rooted, using the stock 4.1.2 ROM with Windows 7.
I can't use Kies as when it was installed the first time it wrecked all my Synctoy sync's so I really could do with another option please guys.
Dial *#7284# on your phone to access PhoneUtil and select 'Qualcomm USB Settings' at the bottom.
Now select 'MTP + ADB' and press 'OK' to return to the previous screen. Now press your 'Back' key to exit PhoneUtil. Your phone is now back to default USB operation.

Thanks for the quick reply.I did that and it was set to mtp + adb...
When I then connected it it tried installing the driver and I got..

Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

From what I'm reading it's a computer error not the phone. Can anyone suggest a new set of drivers to download (that doesnt involve Kies) as I've had issues with picking up harmful software from random sites when I've been struggling to find drivers.
I tried using the suggestion at the bottom of here r.e.Portable Devices and deleting the Upperfilters string Link but also to no avail.
Oh, and yes I've tried different ports and cables.
Well that's me done for the evening! I've tried everything mentioned in this thread including updating java and windows media player and all the afformentioned stuff but still no dice.
Could it be the actual drivers or a random windows 7 setting that I haven't yet tweaked since my clean install of windows??

Cheers, yeah, I was going to try them but I wasn't at my pc at the time I wrote that. I've downloaded the exe package but now it seems there are still drivers to uninstall - I uninstalled the drivers through device manager and went into my C drive and removed the SAMSUNG folder with the USB drivers in it. I'll restart the pc and hope that helps with the removal....

It made no difference whatsoever. I used a utility to check for an remove the samsung drivers (USBDeview) as well as uninstalling through device manager and removing with windows "products and features" but even then, when I tried installing the new drivers it mentioned previous drivers. I restarted after each stage of the process.
I've even tried connecting it in download mode and it shows in device manager.
Could there be some remnant of the software I used to root that phone that might be causing the issue??
I'm due to leave the country in 5 days and have loads of things to sort (also have a family member going into hospital for major surgery tomorrow) so I can't just devote all my time to this - but I need to at least know that it's not the phone (I dont have another win 7 computer to try it on).

[Q] Can't install driver for HTC One M7 on Win7 x64

I have the HTC One M7 64GB Developer's edition
I want to use HTC Sync. After installing it, HTC Sync says the phone is not connected. I see the windows default driver for the phone is installed under 'HTC Android Phone USB Device' and it's under CD-ROMS. I tried updating the driver to the driver in the Win7x64/drivers folder but windows insists that its default driver is the best one for the device. I choose let me pick the device and point to the androidusb.INF file and it says it's not compatible with the device and doesn't let me install it.
This is the HTC Sync file I downloaded: setup_3.1.24.5_htc.exe

Is usb debugging disabled?
Else try
Try uninstalling HTC sync and HTC drivers. Then with your phone plugged in delete the drivers that are associated with it. Unplug your phone. Restart and just plug in the phone. Then run the setup for HTC sync from your phone.
USB debugging is disabled.
How do I run HTC sync on my phone? Sorry, I tried googling and didn't find anything.
Delete all drivers you downloaded, including going into devices on Windows and removing anything your computer is recognizing in connection with the phone. These include HTC One driver MTP (sp!?) driver and Android device driver. Restart computer!. Use different t USB port, plug in and let it auto install. That should do it.

Tried it and it installed the default windows driver again.
I don't understand how it's supposed to install anything other than the windows driver if I deleted all other HTC drivers.
I just tried this on my Windows 8.1 laptop. It does the same thing.
I think it's some setting on the phone now. USB Debugging is off.
I found this thread with a similar issue. http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/266478-root-noob-needs-help.html
However, when I have HTC Sync uninstalled, it still has the default windows driver installed. Should I have something else installed while HTC Sync isn't installed?

USB Debugging needs to be on if you want ADB to recognize it in the OS. Also, check to see if Fast boot is NOT checked in Power from the Settings menu.
Agree with the use of Linux.
