This is partially a Windows support issue, but hopefully someone here has had a similar experience or at least got some good ideas how i can troubleshoot this...
When i plug my Note on my machine if i got USB debugging enabled, Windows starts installing the drivers, but then the device installation thingy freezes (i've tried both just letting it do it's thing automaticly and the add hardware thingy from the control panel, same results), i can't even start the add hardware thingy afterwards (it complains some hardware is still being installed and it can't install more than one at once), Windows won't shutdown afterwards; and if it is plugged with the computer off or remains plugged when rebooting Windows won't finish booting, even if i try to boot in safe mode (but if it isn't plugged while Windows loads the boot goes just fine).
The pc is running WinXP 32bits SP3 (in brazilian portuguese if that matters), and the Note still got the factory's Gingerbread UBKK3 (not rooted yet). Feel free to ask for any additional information you believe i can provide that could help you help me figure this out.
Any ideas how i can figure out what is going wrong here?
ps:before anyone suggests it, no, reformatting the PC is not somthing i'd be willing to consider at the moment; and unless there is no drivers avaiable for WinXP i definitly don't wanna downgrade to 7, much less Vista.

Kies is installed and works just fine; do i need to install that stuff from that blog? Can i even trust that site to not sneak malwares inside the drivers or the executable? (no offense intended, i'm just not used to installing thirdparty drivers from sites that don't appear that big)

If Kies is installed and up to date then you don't need any further drivers.
Might be worth un installing Kies and samsung usb drivers, reboot, download Kies again and install, reboot. Make sure you're connecting the phone in the rear (motherboard) usb ports and see how it works from there.
Is it just the phone that causes this issue, or other usb devices also?

I already tried uninstalling and reinstaling Kies as well as the "devices" that get installed when i plug the note; things still go screwy if i try plugging my Note with USB debugging mode activated.
Perhaps i'm not explaining this right. What i call "installing drivers" is what windows does when you plug a new device; i'm not talking about just having the files avaiable, but actually setting things up to use the device.
Btw, it seems Windows doesn't recognize the Note as the same device with and without the USB debug mode, it installs more than one of some of the "virtual" devices; i noticed it 'cause it installs a "Samsung Mobile USB Modem #2" after i try to plug the device both with the USB debug mode disabled, and with it enabled (had to do that trick to show unplugged devices to actually see both the plain USB Modem and the USB Modem #2 at the same time, but the fact there was a #2 being installed clued me it had another one it still counted as being present)
A small update: I might've found a lead on what is going on; according to Wikipedia
Noting that the latest (as of 2012/09/02) driver version Samsung Android ADB driver 2.9.503.726 is broken (blue screen), and once installed fails to recognise Samsung devices ('Manufacturer Hardware ID missing'). This is supplied as part of Kies.

I don't get BSOD's, but that is precisely the version of the ADB driver that gets installed for me.
Nope, that wasn't it
I tried the drivers from that blog, and even though they are a different version things still go bad if i plug the Note in USB debug mode
cannu trybit on a pc with win 7

I can't say exactly what the problem is, but had you seen that Gingerbread has USB options in 3 different places in the Settings menus?
- Location and Security, Disable USB debugging mode;
- Applications , USB Debugging;
- Wireless and network, USB utilities, Connect storage to PC (button).
I found you have to play around with those to get the connection working properly. I also found it's not a good idea to try to use Kies and Samsung drivers together on one PC. There's quite a lot about these issues on this thread and links therefrom. Hope this helps.
i got an issue regarding Usb mode too @@
recently i upgrade Note to blackCNA v2.1 and i can't "turn on usb" neither "turn off usb". when i stick Note to the computer, it's showed as "portable media player".
i've tried installing and uninstalling then reinstalling everything, from Kies to samsung usb driver, then reboot, then do it in another laptops, but it doesn't work @@
what can i do to fix it now @@

Do i need to uninstall Kies, or just kill all Kies* processes before plugging it in? (i think i already tried both, i'm not gonna try again unnecessarily 'cause when it freezes the driver installation thingy, Windows won't shutdown (it freezes after a while before finishing the process) and i'm forced to go for the physical power switch; i already had some bad experiences with HDDs developing an increased amount of bad blocks during similar circumstances in the past so i don't feel quite comfortable having to cut the power before the OS says it is ok if i have a choice)
Whether you use Kies or Samsung drivers really depends on what you want to do with your device. Kies lets you synchronise your contacts, agenda, etc. with Outlook on your computer. On the other hand if you are going to work on your device's software (rooting, flashing, modifying, (de-)odexing or even just transferring files) then you're better off with Samsung drivers. See this post for a download link. If you read the posts around this one, you will see how Chasmodo stresses the importance of completely getting rid of Kies before installing the Samsung drivers.
I would recommend you completely clean your PC of all drivers, Kies or Samsung drivers (software and registry) with your Note completely disconnected from it. There should be no yellow-triangle devices or anything like that in your PC device list, and your PC should be rebooting normally again. Next install either Samsung drivers or Kies, depending on what you want to do, with the Note still not connected and only when they're comfortably installed and your PC is still working and rebooting properly, reconnect your Note and let the PC detect and finish the installation.
Kies in particular is quite temperamental so it may take a bit of playing around before everything is set up for a sync if that's what you want to do.
Right, up until today when I flashed Molten Motherboard as I wanted Android 5, MTP worked fine (yet slow, ew). but now, when I plug my USB in, Windows (8.1) detects it, listing it as MTP device an whatnot in DevManager, but I dont get the option to access the storage in Computer. Drivers are installed correctly and everything, it worked after i installed Lollipop, but only once.
Any help? Was considering using EternityKernal for the OTG option as I have a duel memory stick i could just transfer things that way, but I dont htink its compatile with lollipop and I cant find a link for it. I want to stay away form using stuff like AirDroid, but that will be my last resort. Thanks
Ok ladies and gents,
I've been on a mission to root my Note 5 N920I for months now.
My problem is no computer will read/recognise the device. The Mac's seem to not even recognise it's plugged in, with Windows, no matter which driver I install it keeps telling me the "device descriptor failed blah blah blah". I managed to root my S4 very easily on Mac with Jodin3 so I know that it ain't no user error.
I've Googled and Googled ways to root without a computer or installing a custom recovery without root, but from what I understand I can't flash TWRP as recovery without a computer and therefore cannot root without a custom recovery.
I've Googled ways to fix the USB issue by making the xml file and putting it into the correct folder, but for that I need to be rooted. Right?
When she's plugged into a computer with USB debugging on or off nothing comes up in my notifications except for charging. I tried using the toolbox which I found on here (sorry can't remember the name) though it seemed like I was getting close, I couldn't get close enough before my temper got the better off me.
If my memory serves me correctly the OTG function worked when i first got the phone but didn't after the first update. My mate's Note 5 also has the same issue. I Googled it and seemed it was common issue on these phones.
I've tried to learn some Terminal/Command Prompt to see if I can fix it that way through Debian or whatever, only got as far as understanding it, kind of. Big ups to all you coders/programmers out there it really is an artform.
So PLZ PLZ can y'all help me, there has to be a way aside from setting this thing alight and getting a new phone.
My next mission, which I only embarked on a couple nights ago is unbricking my dad's Note 4 (N910G) that just hit the **** one day after spazzing out for a few days then would not turn on. I'm getting close though I haven't put much effort into that yet.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. ?
Anyone??

1)First of all have you enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking options enabled from developers options?
2)Install latest usb drivers for your model no on pc, use original usb cable to connect your phone
3) Try different usb hub-ports on your pc, it is recommended to use main-usb port to connect device properly which is mostly located backside of cpu cabinet
4)Does odin recognises ur device? If yes then you can flash twrp and cf autoroot both ( Sometimes Kies or smartswtich like programmes enforces device not be reognised, so uninstall them before trying to connect and flashing thorugh odin)
5)Try to update device drivers manually from Pc's administration
6) Try to connect your phone on another pc running windows and see if it recognises your device or not
I've tried all of that, i have a 09 Macbook Pro hand me down running Yosemite with Windows 8.1 Pro n just put Ubuntu on her today through Parallels. None of which recognise the phone being there.
I've plugged it into 2 HP PC's and both just keep telling "device descriptor failed". They're both kinda old too.
Unless someone has a specific driver they've made or found or could make me?? Clearly I'm a noob.
Closest I've found is https://github.com/452/USBHIDTerminal/wiki/How-to-enable-USB-host-API-support but still need root or system mounted as rw.
Any other ideas? Any ADB codes anyone could help me with ?
Hi, firts of all sorry for my english.
My sister give to me a BLU R1 HD 2GB RAM/16 ROM, it come without Amazon ads (so i think its OEM version). Its running BLU_R001UU_V21_GENERIC.
She told me that one day just not was recognized by PC to transfer files,photos, music. I make a wipe from recovery and still the problem no USB detection at all just charging, no sounds like new USB device was conected, no device on Device Manager.( i do this on diferents PC Windows 10, Windows 8, and Linux Elementary OS , Deeping OS)
I enable Developer Options and change MTP/PTP/Only Charge option and nothing happened; I opened the device to check the pins on the USB connector and check continuity and all seem like be perfect.
I thing that may be when was update to the last software something happen and lost USB recoginition, I want to Root the device and change Recovery but i see that the steps need connect the R1 HD to PC and make some things throw ADB console.
My question is: can i downgrade the original rom from SDcard in the actual Recovery.. to try recover the USB functions. or may be its something wrong on any internal chip that no make the USB conection.
Ty.

I have not seen any other reports of usb dying after OtA update. You say you tried with different PC, what about using different usb cable?
But more bad news for your plans. If you have official v21 update, then you are not rootable anyway.

I have the exact same issue... and it happened just after an OTA Update. After that it showed it was charging only when the phone was shut down.
No USB recognition whatsoever. PC/Mac. Tried several cables.... All USB modes... Factory Reset... Nothing made it work.
I contacted BLU with the issue. As soon as I have an answer (If ever) I will let you know.
If any of you know anything about this please share it here.
Oddly enough, After a cache wipe and factory reset, I have no ads on the lock screen. The app is running on the background but nothing shows up.

I think if we can downgrade to a official rom under the actual recovery maybe that fix the USB. But all methods are under USB connection to PC.

As far as I know downgrading is not possible without making the phone unusable. If by any chance that is possible maybe an update from an SD Card can work.
Hi folks,
I am on my way to unlock the bootloader (2 days remaining) so I checked if everything was OK to prepare the installation of the EU rom but unfortunately adb doesn't see my phone.
OEM unlock check
USB debuging check
Everything is ready but I can't see the phone !
Windows 7 see it, SD card and External !!
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help

Hi I had this problem too, often do when starting with rooting and what not.
I would make sure you have latest 'platform tools', run all your adb stuff from there.
Also in Dev settings revoke USB authorization and switch debug off and back on.
Kill any adb process and either when you restart , you should get the pop up on the pc to remember device.
Sometimes the pop up appears after running adb devices after doing the above.
Also had issues with third party USB cables before, try the supplied one if really struggling still.
Make sure you got system wide adb drivers if not already. Good luck.
Try connect cable to USB 2.0 instead of 3.0
Hi Guys. I am having a similiar prob.
In Xiaomi ADB it says "looking for device" but it never finds it. I have tried different releases of Xiaomi ADB. I have updated java. I have checked update driver through device manager. USB debugging is turned on. I have tried revoking permissions and starting again etc. I have tried different USB ports and cables etc. I am at a loss. I have used the tool before on an older phone with no prob.
Edit - just tried with a different phone without success.
Edit again - had success with a different laptop so all good.
