Am trying to unlock my n1 so I can get to install cyanogen rom but am stuck after installing Android sdk and Usb drivers, am following some steps but am stuck trying to locate the USB driver, this is part of what was stated in the direction (You can check if your Android USB drivers are installed by going to “Printers & Devices” on Windows 7.* (and I think you can check Device Manager for other versions of Windows). I check the device manager on my pc and still didn't locate it,anybody have an idea like where I can find the USB drivers.
this has been discussed 100 times and is also in the "informative links" sticky.
Please do a search. The driver comes with the SDK.
Was wondering is there a way to use our galaxy as a universal usb mass storage device, using default windows drivers?
I've tried it but I can't seem to connect my phone to the pc unless I install either the usb drivers (extracted from Kies) or install kies itself.
In ubuntu can just hook this up no problem why in windows doesn't it work? or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great.
thanks.
Wich part of Android Development Forum you dont understand?
why don't you can suggest me one or point me in the right direction or notify a mod instead of posting something that's not helpful and insulting?
and indicate why this would not go in development? yeah it can be in general but why can't it be in here explain the reason. This can be the initiation of someone developing a hack to allow to use our device in windows without INSTALLING the samsung drivers?
You don't need to install any samsung anything.
Settings -> About Phone -> USB Settings: Ensure "Ask on connection" is selected.
Plug in USB cable, connect to PC.
Select "Mass storage" on the menu. Your device is now connected and charging, but you don't have access to the data yet.
Now drag down the notification bar from the top of the screen. It says "Ongoing: USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer". Press that. Press "Mount".
Your Internal SD and external SD now mount on your PC and appear as drives.
gl
Edit: If that doesn't work for you then there's something wrong. I haven't installed Kies on any machine I've connected the SGS to. It may be that you require Admin rights to install the usb drivers that are sent over as the device attempts to mount (not sure).
hmm that's weird. My machine says it doesn't recognize it when I do that. And all the machines I use I have to install the drivers for it to work even though I always use "use as mass storage"
hmmm I better do more investigation then.....
just tried this on a winxp machine without any driver/kies installed and yeah can't get to the sd card. It has an exclaimation mark next to the Usb mass storage device in device manager and there an "unknown" device detected in the "other devices" section of device manager....
Try the always ask option. Sometimes the use mass storage as default choice is a tad cranky.
If not, try on another usb port with another microusb cable. I've tried on 3 pcs/laptops and all 3 times no drivers were needed.
You also have to pull down the notifcation menu of the phone (once connected) and click the usb symbol and then choose "mount" (yeah, kinda sucks)

the drive that it installs when you connect your device to your PC with selecting USB Mass Storage is a normal USB driver, like when you plug in a normal memory stick...
Check your usb port or cable and try other ones
Or install Kies then uninstall it.
It will leave the Samsung USB drivers installed as they are in a seperate folder.
really weird could it be a winxp problem?
At work usb mass storage doesn't work UNTIL I install the samsung drivers. At home tested on a win 7 machine without installing any drivers and it works.
Would front usb port be different to teh back usb port? It's just that front usb port doesn't work if I don't install drivers, after install drivers works fine.
hmm I should test the back usb port. It's pissing me off how I can't use usb mass storage at work until I install the drivers (or would it be a windows update issue how windows don't have latest usb drivers?)

both win7 and xp require to install that usb driver unless you've plugged it in before... you definitely don't have to install the samsung drivers before you use the Mass storage function as my office computer (XP) is not allowed to install any other driver/software apart from normal USB mass storage driver in which it's pre-installed in your PC when you install the OS...
Hi!
I just updated my Windows to Windows 7 x64, and I can't connect my X8 to PC - he is detectable, but can't use flashtool, USB (to copy files) etc.
I installed Gordon's Gate, PC Companion (he don't detect that is X8 - I have GDX installed).
Have I to back to 2.1, and then install this drivers for PC Companion? or what? I would like to test nobodyAtall's MiniCM and kernel. I also downloaded X8 ADB drivers but can't install it in device manager.
Thanks for help.
No, you don't have to go back to Stock 2.1.1.
PC Companion does have x64 and x86 drivers included - the only problem you may face is that PC Companion won't love custom ROMs on the X8 (i.e. if you have one of the PCC versions where "Repair" still works it will refuse to restore your device -> "No updates available"). The same seems to go for Gordon's Gate ... there are x86 and x64 (aka "amd64") drivers included.
I successfully used the drivers from PCC as well as Flashtool (v0.2.9.1 - 0.5.x.x fails to recognize the phone no matter what I do) with my X8 (Edit: on Windows 7 x64 Professional) - and since PCC had already put the Android drivers into the set of Windows drivers there wasn't a problem in installing the Flash/ADB driver.
The question at hand would rather be: since you switch from Windows 7 (32-Bit) to its x64 counterpart ... did you install all of your chipset drivers - especially the USB drivers (valid for Intel and AMD based systems)?

I switched from Windows XP x86 (also have Win 7 professional), and after that only my phone memory storage doesn't work. All USB ports is working, but I'm not sure about this AMD driver? Where can I get it?
Yup, there is 'amd64' driver, but how to install it manually? X8 is detectable for Windows, so it is not showing in device manager. I install PC Companion first, but it wasn't work, then downloaded flashtool (0.2.9.1), installed GG and tried to install this included drivers, but don't know how.

The chipset drivers for your motherboard are most likely for download on the website of the manufacturer ...
For Intel based systems you're looking for the "Intel Inf Driver Utility" (or something along that line) for Windows 7 x64
For AMD based systems you're looking for the USB drivers package (for Windows 7 x64).
If you don't have a clue it might help if you could name the Manufacturer of your motherboard (i.e.: Gigabyte), the exact type of your motherboard (i.e.: GA-870A-UD3) and CPU type (i.e.: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T) so I/we can try to look it up for you.

Well, back in the days I installed PC Companion - which also spilled the drivers into Windows - and only updated it since then whenever it nagged about "New version of PC Companion available" ... though I never spotted it installing a newer set of drivers.
Anyway ...
If you attach your X8 to your computer with "USB-Debugging" disabled then Windows should show you a mass storage device in "Computer".
If you attach your X8 to your computer with "USB-Debugging" enabled then Windows will install the ADB bridge driver (upon first connect) so adb is able to communicate with your device.
If you attach your X8 in "Flash mode" (phone turned off, back button pressed) to your computer because it's stuck in a boot-loop Windows will install the Flash driver (upon first connect) so Flashtool is able to flash the device.
All, of course, by best using the genuine USB cable that came with your phone.
Additionally you could try this ...
Enable "USB-Debugging" (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and connect your device to the computer. Start Flashtool and select "Check drivers" from the menu ... what result do you get?
EDIT: Additionally, what version of Flashtool do you use and to where (C:\<path\to\flashtool>) did you install/put Flashtool?

And after I trying enable mass storage I get info about 'SD card safe to remove'. I will try to connect it in flash mode, but it seems to be OK with flashing.
The biggest problem is mass storage, I will check if flashtool is working now.

That's exactly what should happen ... if you tap the button to connect in USB mass storage mode the SD card will be unmounted from Android - and a few seconds later it should show up as a new drive in START ORB -> "Computer".
As for the Flashtool output - seems the drivers are installed and found to be OK by Flashtool.

Oh my god ... a Hewlett Packard box ...
Well, in this case you need to go to www.hp.com and search for the exact Model/Type of your rig - there should be a "Support" or "Drivers" section where you can download the drivers from HP for your particular system.
I only found a page with Motherboard Specifications relating to some HP z552.se Digital Entertainment Center box. If that's what you have standing right in front of you ... Download Drivers page - just select "Windows 7 (64-bit)" from the drop-down (though ... LOOOL HP ... there's just a Lightscribe update; no drivers or whatever else).
If it's not your system ... please search for the right one.
Edit: Going with the Motherboard Specifications from the HP page about the MSI MS-7225 ...

This driver seems only to be available through Windows Update.
Since HP fails to mention what Nvidia MCP the board is using I'm unable to tell if there are vendor specific USB drivers or not.
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.
Hello
Im brand new to Android and adb/fastboot.
I have looked at tutorials on youtube all day, and for everybody else their devices just pops up when you type adb devices.
I get nothing
I have done it correctly, because I get all the commands when I type adb/fastboot.
Im running windows8, could that be the problem?
Do I need some kind of extra USB drivers for my google glasses?
I do find my glasses as a camera tho.
EDIT:
So after watching a few more tutorials I understood my problem. Its windows8 usb drivers thats not correct.
I have tried to install correct drivers and edit the .ini files that need editing, but now I encountered a new problem.
Windows wont let me install correct usb drivers for google glass.
When I have device manager open, windows have already installed them as “Portable device – Glass1″
I click uninstall and they disaper from my device list, once I click “scan for new hardware” I can see that they reapper on my device list as other devices. Within 2sec windows autoinstall them as “portable device -glass1″ again.
So I try “update driver software” but this dont work either, I select the correct file and path, but I keep getting this message “windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date”.
Im running windows8.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT2:
As far as all the tutorial movies tell me to disable driver signing I have done so.
If all of the adb commands were working, then chances are you need to enable debugging on your Glass. Settings >> Device info >> Turn on debug
Update:
The way to bypass windows8 and installing usb drivers, is that I need to use the option "Have Disk" and then install usb drivers that way.
All works fine now.
