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

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.
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.
I recently installed windows 8 on my computer.. and to I thought that Samsung drivers are already compatible with it (since normal phone usage like Mass Storage/Kies is working like a charm) but I'm wrong
When I try to recover my phone through download mode.. my computer can't recognize my phone anymore and It also shows a window saying something like Installing driver for Unknown Device for windows 8, but for windows 7 it will say Installing driver for Samsung Android USB Modem and Samsung Android USB Composite Device (two drivers are being installed in windows 7).. so i still need to boot for win7 just to reflash some odin firmwares
**Note msm7x27 driver is also detected as a faulty driver for windows 8 and some other missing drivers that exist in windows 7
So my question is, are there any windows 8 drivers for Samsung already?
Win8 Action Center tends to redirect me into the samsung website to download drivers but the its installer is buggy.. it's installing random drivers which are useless and too hard to uninstall using normal add/remove programs...
just clarifying things out.. so i may just keep a backup of these firmwares incase of trouble
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.

Hello all,
I got an old 5830 Galaxy Ace I wanna hand over to a friend. I want to flash stock ROM onto it.
When I start the phone normally I can connect via USB cable and see the files on the device.
However when entering 'downloading' mode (power+volume down+home) I get the error: This device cannot start. (Code 10) "A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed." (copied from Device Manager properties of Samsung USB Composite Device). I also see this ballon pop in in the sys tray
The device does NOT show up in either Odin or Flashtool.
I am on Win 8.1 64bit laptop. I have searched and trawled the internet already and did the following:
- disabled signature verification in startup options of windows
- installed fastboot drivers via flashtool
- installed Samsung USB drivers
- tried 4 different USB ports and two different cables (and also on another laptop)
Can anyone give me a suggestion. I have not found 5830 specific USB drivers for example (nor do I know if they even exist). Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
Roel
SOLVED...sort of...
I used a workaround. I used a Windows 7 computer and there it worked perfect.
