Few questions when connecting the SII to a PC - Galaxy S II General

So,
-I just connected my S2 into my PC (windows 7 ultimate 64bit) and it said "CDC Serial - No Driver Found." Where can i download it?
-Every phone iv bought before i get a CD with it to install the software onto my PC.. what software do i need for the S2?
-I want to drag and drop some .APK files (apps) but dont know where to.
Hope you can help me... (this is my first android phone)
Thanks!

Hi.
You don't need to use USB. Connect your phone to WiFi and open Kies Air on your phone. Type the URL it gives you into your PC's browser and you can upload/download straight to your phone! Click File explorer in the browser for a complete view.

Hi. Just to samsung site, downloads, program name is 'Kies'.

I installed ASTRO File Manager and installed the app =)

I think this thread is running its course. We're not here to help you install pirated apps. This time is a warning. We don't want to know about it. Go buy them from the market, or via paypal.
The question was valid, but XDA is a developer site. Pay for apps, or use a free version with ads.
That is all. Thread closed before we get the old "omg it's not warez" flame-war...

Contacts to computer

pls how do i copy "contacts" from my phone to a folder in my computer ? I have lots of yester yrs phones that do not do Google sync.
2. And also copying music from within the phone to another folder in my system beats me. Help please.

1) There is an inbuilt function to export contacts to sd card.. From there copy it to your computer..
2) Use ES explorer, download it from market
1. Open the People app, then touch Menu > Import / Export. There's an Export to SD card option. Then copy to your pc via USB, bluetooth...
2. Use a file manager from the market. I recommend ASTRO, but any file manager will do.

You need the HTC drivers installed. For that you need to have HTC Sync installed on your computer. This is on your SD Card when you bought the phon or download it from the HTC website. When this is installed you will then be able to use the MPE software. Use the 'files' section to browse to where your contacts file is stored.
However, you seem to want step-by-step instructions to even the most basic things so I would very politely suggest that you need to do some more reading up of the DHD user guide plus any help on these forums. The MPE website also has a very useful forum that you should visit to learn more about that software.
Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks very much to all.

How to transfer files onto it via Mac?

With my HTC Inspire 4G I plug in the USB cable and it pops up as a drive to transfer files onto (ie movies), however with the galaxy tab 10.1 it doesn't. I rooted it on a windows machine, so wondering how to make it a USB drive when I plug in, so I can transfer movies and files from my Mac.
Anyone?
It doesn't mount as a USB drive on a Mac - you have to use this utility to put files on the device.
Apparently I'm too new auser to post a link so I'll write it out:
android dot com forward-slash filetransfer

good find with the app, but it doesn't work. when I plug in it just says "No Android device found" and on the tablet it says Connected - Press home button to quit keys... but it doesn't mount a drive or open up file transfer box. Am I missing something?
Same here - AFT doesn't work on Snow Leopard, much less Lion. Please tell me that you, or someone else has discovered a solution since this post three months ago?
I believe there is a thread on this in the development section. But to answer your question anyways, you simply need to go to Samsung's support website and after entering your product model, go to the downloads section and install the Kies software for Mac. Unfortunately you must use this version of Kies since the GT 10.1 can't be mounted as mass storage on Macs.
Guys, use Websharing. Look for it in the market. Basically turns Tab into a web server on the network accessible via any web browser.
That's what I use. Android File Transfer (AFT) does not work, and Apple broke/changed something in their AFP. I used to use the LAN feature in Estrongs until Lion came out and borked that.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
AFT will not work because it is built using a library of libmtp that is too old for the Galaxy Tab. Hopefully Google will update it soon to support the Galaxy Tab.
I tried to compile libmtp to support it, but couldn't get it to work. I'll try again when I'm not busy and see what happens.
In the meantime, you can use Samsung Kies software, or DDMS if you have the android SDK

Not a mac guy but had the same problem on my pc. Ended up installing Remote Web Desktop (Smartdog studio) from android marketplace on the tab. It's free. Then used filezilla (or any other ftp program) from my pc. Worked great, so no more worries about USB connectivity.
I recently bought a tab 8.9 and I was very disappointed by this problem. I'm going through FTP right now.
Is it possible to enable normal file transfer if I root my tablet?
theres a way..but u need to have ADB ..also need to be home to let u know..
there is this ADB tool app that u run and it will detect ur tab..i got mine detected mine is 10.1
I've never really understood this problem - is it something that will be sorted it with the newer Android firmwares such as 3.2? I had a Vega running vegacomb 3.2 and that mounted on the Mac without a problem.
Use File Expert, they have a built in FTP & websharing. It works great with a FTP app on the Mac.

I tried turn on and off several times. Before and after Kies opening every possibility just not work. But until at last it just can sync with Kies by itself. I really don't understand how can it work.
Any way via Kies you can only music, photo and video. You have any idea how to push PDF files into it??
i use adb push for putting everything on my tablet....its a lot easier than waiting for Kies.
I have mac and use this method for file transfer to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 :
-install android-sdk-mac_x86 from Android developers site.
-open 'tool' folder and search for ddms ( android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/ddms )
-connect your galaxy tab to mac via usb
-dubbleclick on ddms (it will start terminal and java) new window 'Dalvik Debug Monitor will open
-click on your device listed in this new window
-from file menu open Device -> File Explorer
-new window with folders of your Galaxy tab will pop up
- navigate to any folder on your device and just drag and drop any file from your computer finder window.

+1 on the File Expert Method.
Download FE (free) and Cyberduck (free) unless you already have a FTP server/client program.
Turn on sharing via FTP on tab, then enter in the settings on Cyberduck, and voila! Wirelessly connected on your local net.
Just drag and drop any file to any directory. I've loaded multiple items ranging from 100mb to 1.34gb in minutes. movies, pics, pdfs, you name it.
I feel this is the easiest of all, and kies actually works for me!

ICS USB drivers?

Hello all,
I posted a thread yesterday about my issues trying to get my a500 running AOKP to connect to my computer. So, as it is right now, it's got nothing on it, except for a few apps.
I have narrowed it down to the possibility that it is NOT ROM-specific and that it has something to do with USB drivers. I installed the drivers from the Acer US and UK websites, along with the setup.exe drivers from TimmyDean's root folder. None of them worked.
I tried on two different computer, and got the same issues. All I hear is 3 quick beeps after the computer fails to install device driver software.
My question is this: To those of you who are on an ICS ROM/Leak, HOW do you access your SD Card/Internal Storage on your PC?
I really hope somebody could help, I'm pretty stumped.

I already have the SDK installed from a whole ago, and I have used ADB recently for my phone, so I guess I should have the updates drivers correct? So I should just go through the device manager and let Win7 search through my C:/ drive? What will it be picking up, the ADB drivers?

I had google android drivers, Acer drivers, probably 4 different sets. I believe the last I used, were HTC adb drivers. Got pretty frustrated as I couldn't connect 501 with adb. But After I did the full scan on c: drive, it finally picked them up.
It doesn't matter which drivers get used, as long as it works
"Throw enough bullets at the target, and eventually you will hit it"
have you tried going into device manager .Then plug in the Iconia tab once its recognized .Right lick on the device and install the drivers manually.You must know where the drives are extracted to on your computer to do this. Also Not with my acer tab but i have had a issue in the past with usb device drivers .They can sometimes be confused by windows and windows will load driver for the other device and of course fail. So to get around this you can try making sure your phone is connected to the usb port you always use. Then try to plug the iconia into another port. and see If windows will prompt you to install the device.
If still no luck do a search on microsoft tech site.If you can not find it this can also be done by uninstalling all usb devices on the computer in programs and features. Then go to device manager and manually uninstall the usb hubs and devices listed in there. Reboot the computer and windows will put them back.Re install the drives from acer for the iconia reboot. then connect it and see if it will then find the device.
The above is for tech savy users only due to if there is a registry issue the hubs might not install back .
Good luck. and again if you cant follow what i typed above Microsoft tech help has it in step by step instructions. just search for usb device driver install issues and narrow down your issue.
Thank you to BOTH of you! I was getting frustrated that I can't do anything with my tablet! I will definitely try both of these when I get home.
@Erica: I went into Device Manager and it did not recognize my tablet, so I tried to install drivers from Windows Update, and it didn't find any.
@Moscow: HTC USB drivers will work? Really? I don't see why not, but then again, each website has you go through different steps to get your model number, etc.
What I am wondering is, for the scan if the C:/ drive, do I extract only the .exe for the USB drivers?

Generally, the zip file contains driver files for AMD64 and i386. Just extract them to a location on your C: drive. Like C:\android\adb_drivers. Once you extract the driver files, or any other driver files, and you have windows search your computer, it will usually find them, and install them. Takes a couple minutes.
I find this is easier than trying to have windows look in a specific folder. Like I said, I have tons of driver files.
Also, google for Android USB drivers. Will give you the generic Android USB driver pack. Unzip them also, to a diff folder.

When you say it does not recognize your tablet. Are you saying that when you plug the tablet into the computer thru usb You do not get a prompt to install a Driver? If this is the case Windows thinks it has the proper driver. You will have to find the device in device manager . OPEN it and update driver. You can try to have windows to search . but i disagree with MD on this. But both ways tend to have the same results .TELL it where your drives are such as mine are in c:/android/androidsdk/ xxx
You could also try to install Acer sync from the acer iconia d/laod site If you do this i would change the install path to a sub folder of your sdk install. could be useful in future.

Quick update.
I tried both of your theories, and neither of them worked
I tried to find the ADB drivers, but couldn't get them to install through SDK Manager (file not found on an XML file).
So then, I took two of the drivers I had downloaded, and extracted the folders they were in, into a folder on C:\ called android drivers.
I tried searching my entire C:\ and nothing came up at all. This is where I tried Erica's method, and I narrowed it down to the C:\android drivers and it STILL didn't bring anything up.
Finally, I tried downloading and placing these (http://androidforums.com/incredible...ivers-adb-bootloader-disk-drive-htc-sync.html) drivers, and it still didn't find them.
Oh, and I also tried plugging my phone into the troublesome port and it connected fine, as per Erica's suggestion, so I think this is some kind of driver issue.. but WHAT!
Thanks for all of your help so far!
EDIT: Here is the icon I am getting when I plug my tablet into my computer: http://i.imgur.com/jUf54.jpg
Not sure you tried this or not.
Go to Acer.com then there download drivers page. look. for Acer sync. Download and install that. it just might install the Acer adb drivers
Beyond that I say go to Ms tech site and search for USB host/driver issues.
Sorry its not working but at this point I have no idea without being infront of the machine.
Good luck

Yeah, that's the last of my guesses, and it was the last sets of drivers I installed on my Win7 before I got ADB working. I had issues connecting ADB, and may have just installed the HTC divers, just to connect with my Desire. I think after that, I installed the google drives, and could connect with my 501.
I could always get the PC to recognize the tab, just not through ADB.
With that AOKP rom though, I am not sure. I had it for a bit, but reflashed back to my 3.2.1 daily driver. Not sure if I could see it through PC, as I don't think I checked. Waste of time I think, as basically, it was 80% Thor Rom, and we all know it doesn't get 3g or gps on a 501.

I can't get it to recognize through ADB either. I'd love to try another ICS ROM, but I have to go through Dropbox and it gave me a smaller file name, so it isn't as safe. Might try to download through my a500.
I do have a Nandroid of 3.2.1, bit I doubt that could fix my issues.

Access Internal Memory with PC

Hi,
i am fairly new to android coming from ios.
I opened my s3 and its:
ap i9300buale6
cp i9300bule6
csc i9300vfgale6
android 4.0.4
Then i did the following:
- Using Odin i flashed CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.
- Using Google Play installed Busybox
- Using EFS_Pro_1.12.6_Release a EFS backup (tar)
- Using CWM i created a Nandroid backup in the internal storage (got no SD)
Thats where i am at now.
My goals are now.
1. Get the nadroid backup somehow from the internal memory to the PC
2. Update stock firmware and root again
3. Access and edit the Host file
How do 1 and 3 and with which tools?
I tried FTPServer and used FlashFXP on my PC, i can successfully connect but FlashFXP (and firefox) cannot list directories or files from the S3.
thanks in advance
I am confused. Why go through all this process for (1)? Just connect your phone to your pc with usb and copy the folder located in clockworkmod/backup.
The hosts file is located in /etc/hosts but you're gonna need a root file manager like Estrongs File Explorer (market, free), to edit it.
Edit: if you just want to get rid of ads, install and run Adaway (market, free as well).

because when i connect the s3 to the pc i cannot browse the s3 at all.
it doesnt appear in the explorer but at the same time efs made a backup and
obviously found it
What OS are you using? Win7? Enable usb debugging in Settings->Developer in case it helps.
Also when you connect your phone, does it show anything regarding USB on its statusbar/notification?
Edit: If all else fails, I'd suggest downloading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 . Among other things it can install the correct drivers for you.

Quite frankly you don't really need to install kies. Personally I've only used it once and it's a PoS.
Download that program from the thread I linked earlier, run it and follow the instructions to install the drivers. You should be good to go.

You're on Verizon? If yes, you're in the wrong forum. This is for the international version of GS3, so make sure you don't flash anything from this section.

You may need the USB drivers - I tried Search to give you a link here but Search is "Temporarily Unavailable" Then your PC should see the phone and, when you get one, the ext SD card. You should make it a priority to get a card as you can backup to it or move backups etc. to it using something like EFS Explorer or other root enabled file manager.
Then, if you can't get your phone to show in Explorer, you can simply remove the SD card and use a card reader to transfer stuff to the PC. Then, if you STILL can't see the phone, I'd be speaking to the vendor about possible faults/solutions.
Found a location for DL'ing the USB drivers - http://d-h.st/h11. Hope it helps...

Hm... I think I must have forgotten to refresh the page before I posted, Last post I saw was at 10:49 but the issue was resolved in later ones and before I posted. Strange...
Not sure if the Nexus drivers are the same as my link (earlier version also) but they should be - they are for the PC not the phone so I doubt there'd be specific customisation in the driver file. You may want to update to v1.5.4.0 anyway... Just run the file with Admin permissions and it should install over the top of the older drivers.

Please help (need working unlock and root instructions)

I've been up and down the forums for two days trying every method and app and whatever else is recommended.
asus zenfone 2 laser
Z00TD (ZE551KL)
-i cannot unlock bootloader (Asus unlock tool does not work for any variant)
- cannot root with any one click app (assuming because bootloader is locked)
- cannot manually install drivers via any instructional method online. (They all seem to be 64 bit when I have a 32 bit machine) and there is no actual exe file to install anywhere that i can locate.
- cannot use windroid as it requires twrp (basically root) ....useless.
-cannot adb command unlock or root, does not recognize device (assuming because proper drivers are not installed)
I'm on the updated software version 1.16.40.763-20151201
Someone please give me a hint or some lead as to what I'm missing or where I'm going wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Download the adb-fastboot tool from here...:- Moderator EDIT PPC links are not allowed
Install it.. it will ask you for installing drivers also.. install them... Visit Asus.com and download the drivers for your device. . Now search for Device manager in Windows start menu. Click on Device Manager and then you will see a device named as Android or something like that... Right click on it.. then select update drivers... Then you will see two options 1). Check online 2. Browse my Pc for updated drivers.. select the 2nd one now browse the downloaded file of drivers and select it.. select the folder of files .(After unzipping the folder)...
Click on update.. now drivers will get installed.. now
Use Ctrl+shift+right click..(in adb folder mainly located in local disk c) and select open command Windows here. Enable the USB debugging option in developer options of your device.. At first it will ask for permissions. Alow it.. Now you can flash anything.. for further information ,if needed you can contact me..

I must be doing something wrong. Because I've done all of that. And the drivers don't install properly. I can get into fast boot and that's where it stops for me. The bootloader 20007.img code keeps failing.
I don't know. Something isn't right. I can't even unlock it with the Asus unlock tool. I've tried every one for every variant.

this might sound stupid, but try a different, better, usb cable.
I had a similar issue years ago, trying to flash my first android phone, windows would also give me device manager error. i beat my head on the wall for two days using the motorola supplied data cable, until on a whim i tried a different USB cable and everything worked.
