Team,
For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.
64bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
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.
I don't know if it is a conflict with my AV or something else, but when I use the x86 drivers linked, my phone will shut off completely when attaching with "PC Internet" option in the USB settings.

yes they have... This feels redundant. also add in that if you're a nub just install kies and it will auto dl the correct drivers you need.

Also on a mac you do not need the sdk. You do need to be in debugging mode though.
Also, you could just go to the Captivate webpage on Samsung's site and get the Captivate drivers, not the generic Galaxy S drivers linked in the OP.
thanks was looking for these!
In Windows 7 I'm not having an easy time getting the phone to be recognized. If I click Start > Devices and Printers it shows up as Samsung_Android but even Kies won't recognize the phone so something is wrong. I also can no longer mount my external SD card and have it show up in Windows. I tried to uninstall all the drivers and reinstall but it keeps telling me there are already drivers installed...soo..... *shrugs*

I had this problem on my desktop as well. I was using a front USB port on my computer and when I plugged it into one of the back ports, it worked. I also found the USB cable that came with the phone to work better than a cable I had lying around. Try different ports and if all else fails, try a different cable.
So here's something bizarre. I've been using my PC (Win 7 64bit) for weeks now with my Captivate and no issues. Had originally had woes when I got it, but it started working. Anyway, today I plug it in and ... it doesn't recognize it. Have installed / changed NOTHING -- only M$ patches have been applied. Tried to roll back prior and get the lovely BSOD probably because I have 4 SATA Raptors RAID-0'd and M$ doesn't know how to use that, but has anyone else seen this behavior before?
And to add to this. I rebooted my phone and now it works again. Very odd but problem solved.

ive been trying for weeks and trying all three, generic Galaxy S, AT&T captivate drivers and Kies and can't get anything working in USB Mass storage mode or Kies mode...
This is on Windows 7 64bit. Driving me crazy. USB mode wont install the Mass storage drivers and Kies wont recognize
My issue is that when I connect the phone on Windows 7 32bit the phone and the internal SD card will connect but one I try to click on anything inside the phone or card the phone will immediately disconnect and then reconnect. When I try to click again it will repeat the disconnection. After that, I don't even have to click on the phone or card directories, it will disconnect then reconnect about 6 more times. Eventually it will be stable and not disconnect. This is extremely annoying. Anyone else with this issue.

Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.
USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)
Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...
forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba&feature=search_result
Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.
im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.
I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.
Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????

I am using W7 64bit pro. I can install Kies with no problems, but when I connect the phone (sgs II) I get an error message that The driver did not install correctly. Of course I cannot connect to Kies, thoug I can browse the internal and external card content. No advice worked, tryed to reinstall, use virtual XP 32b, etc...
It works on my desktop 32b but I cannot read the phone numbers, but I need it on my laptop which is running W7 64b pro. Any ideas?
Install Drivers
Open kies and then in the menu bar on top of kies select tools and install drivers.
Tryed this. Does not work.
If the above does not work for you try this.
Run Kies as administrator.
When installing Kies did you follow the instructions to the letter?
Reason I ask Im running Win 7 64 and have no issues with KIES.
Go to Samsung.com and download the Kies from there to your PC.
Uninstall the current one from PC along with any drivers reboot PC.
Now install new KIES without fone connected and follow the instructions.
WHen asked to connect fone do so and not before.

Does not like laptops? Works fine on all the laptops/ netbooks that we use and thats a mixture of brands at that.
Does not like laptops in that a majority of Kies not working posts are for Laptops .
Works on my x64 laptop .

Rubbish, running on my win 7 pro 64bit toshiba lappy.
i guess this is not about flashing, so odin wouldn't help much, especially, since odin needs the working drivers as well.
i read somewhere on here, that the driver installation fails, if there is an external sd card inserted in the sgs2, when first connected (afterwards, there will be no problem on this point).
i agree with the others on other points though, kies really sucks to some extend. the only good feature i used, was media syncing. but for syncing of any kind (not only music and photos, but also savegames and other data) i use microsoft synctoy now, with the galaxy connected in mass storage mode. flashing with odin and syncing with 3rd party apps really makes kies redundant.

Tried to disconnect the SD card, I receive the same error: "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem Failed". Tried to reinstall drivers from Kies tools, of course did not work. Ran out of ideas.
Install the drivers manually from the Kies' "escape" folder. Use the Windows Device manager.
Already done this. DOES NOT WORK.
Do you have any others accessories connected to usb, like mobile broadband? I've got similar problem and when I've uninstalled drivers and disconnected modem everything started to work again

have you tinkered between usb debugging on and off
Read somehwere the first time you you use kies...have kies running, put phone off usb debugging. then plug it in
I had same problem with my desktop. i went into device manager. there should be an explanation mark next to phone. uninstall driver then reinstall telling it to get driver from the web. then start up kies. ps make sure kies isnt running when u install. hope this works took alit of messing around for it to work for me but eventually did.
I have W7 with 64 bit and fortunatelly KIes works on mine. I live in US and I downloaded Kies from Samsung UK site just in case because the phone was bought from Expansys and is coming also from UK. Maybe try to check on this solution. Also I vaguely believe that I had to disable firewall or Eset during the installation, but I may be wrong on this. That sucks that yours doesn't work. Wish you luck...
I am running Windows 7 in 64bit and everything works perfectly. Except I dont like Kies and used it only once.... to check what its all about.
I do not remember the installation process, but usually hardware must not be plugged in until the driver is actually installed. So just uninstall everything, install it again and THEN when everything is done plug in the phone. It should be then be recognized and working.
However if you want it just to put music on it or copy files in general, better ditch Kies and make your device be recognized by your computer like an USB-Drive.
Go to Settings > Applications > Development (Translated it from German, might be off)
There you check the USB-Debugging option and have no need for Kies anymore.
What USB port are you using? Experience from the cappy forum and personal experience shows that using a USB port right off the MB is best. Not sure if it's a power problem or what. My cappy would always charge and be hit/miss on recognization using the front USB port on my computer. Using a rear port produces connection everytime. I'm on a cappy right now, just waiting for the US release date to get GS II.
None ot the above worked. Giving up. Tx anyway.
Just did a quick search but could not see it mentioned. 2.1.1.11124_17 29-12-2011
usually new Kies = new Samsung phone or tablet firmware??

Sometimes but not always. Would be a nice New Year present though id they did.
Only problem I have after update is it says it cannot find a Bluetooth driver when I pair it with the PC and "Connect via Bluetooth" throws up a denial error.
updated it last night to this version, keep on getting this message.
Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC STUDIO) mode,
Current connection mode not supported by Kies.

Have you turned off USB debugging?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
yes i have.
I was just prompted to update my Kies software. Before I did so, I searched for the download because I have had experiences of the update function screwing up the installation. (Uninstalling and then installing via the exe corrected the issues.) I couldn't find it. On the Samsung website only the older version is available for download.
I installed the update and everything went okay. Now I keep getting two prompts when I connect my Galaxy S II.
(Translating from German)
1. Album information cannot be imported. (Albuminformationen können nicht importiert werden.)
2. Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies-(PC Studio) mode. Kies doesn't support the current connection mode. (Verbinden Sie das Gerät im Samsung Kies-(PC Studio)-Modus erneut. Der gegenwärtige Verbindungsmodus wird von Kies nicht unterstützt.)
Now I can't connect my device with Kies.
I will reboot, repair the installation and see if I can get it to work. If anybody knows where I can download the installation file, pls let me know; it would make my day.
Does it suck any less?

If it sucked anymore it would put Hoover out of business real fast.
Now I'm connected. Didn't reboot my computer. I turned my phone off and then back on and I also let Kies re-install the drivers. Now I can connect.
The first prompt about album information was due to having a cd in the drive, which Kies couldn't read the album information from. Why does Kies try to read the cd when I'm just trying to connect my phone?
There is no firmware update for the phone.
When I tried to synchronize with Outlook I got two prompts
Contacts: 50% or more have been deleted....
Appointments: 50% or more have been deleted....
I of course aborted the synchronization.
I took a look at the GUI and the settings to synchronize all contacts hadn't been selected. It also showed a strange folder by the name 00000. Pointing to a folder or file without extension called TestDD. In the GUI I selected to synchronize all contacts and it worked without prompts or issues.
I was able to copy files to the phone without issues.
Kies still doesn't show the artist of mp3 files in its GUI and yes the tags are complete.
Kies sucks, not enough to replace Hoover and not enough to make me stop using it. Copying files is not such a big deal, I love the one-click ability to synchronize with Outlook

As in my previous post, I've had issues with Kies after using the on-line update function. This time it was the same. If for example I started Kies to synchronize contacts everything functioned properly. I exited Kies. Then if later in the day I just attached my phone (without starting Kies) just to transfer files from and to the external SD card of my phone via Explorer, My phone wasn't recognized and I had to go into device manager and re-install the drivers.
I checked in the installed software panel and although I had updated my Kies installation, the version displayed in software was Kies version 2.1.0.11112_41
Today I decided to check if a standalone Kies installer was available and I was happy to find it. I uninstalled Kies as well as the USB drivers, deleted all folders including the ones under My Files and Documents and Settings, cleaned all references to Kies as well as the USB drivers from my registry and installed Kies using the installer and now the issue is resolved.
They must have fixed some things in this version. While synchronizing contacts, for example, it noticed differences between the contacts in Outlook and my phone as well as differences between entries in my Outlook calendar and the calendar of my phone, which wasn't the case before re-installing.
I also noticed that after installation, the installer for the USB drivers is now located in the USB folder of the Kies program installation folder. In previous versions the unpacked driver files were located there.
Yea, I have the problem even tried on two different PC. What going on with the recent Kies version. Can any developer or technical give some response???? this is so painful

Hi, I am having issues when connecting galaxy s5 to PC via USB. I am using rooted (Philz recovery) stock ROM (KK 4.4.2) on phone, and Windows 8.1 enterprise on PC. I was able to connect galaxy s3 just by plugging USB. PC loaded drivers and was able to transfer files no prob. However, tried with s5, PC seems to load drivers as normal, makes audible connection sound but is not showing in windows explorer. I've checked quite a few posts and the general consensus is a missing driver (been to Samsung site and Sammobile to try and find drivers to work, nothing. Samsung just point to 'Kies' and Sammobile just have Firmware), however, windows 8.1 finds and installs latest drivers automatically anyway. I've deleted and re-installed drivers via device manager on PC, checked for hardware changes and updated drivers etc. The PC recognizes the phone as Samsung device in device manager list, makes connection sound plugged and unplugged, even charges the phone while plugged in, but doesn't show in windows explorer to be able to transfer files. I tried USB 3.0 and 2.0. looked on net , found lots of people with similar probs re:s3 and s4, but nothing for s5 yet. Again though, it seems to be missing driver, however, as all drivers are updated/latest, i'm lost as to where to go now. Can anybody be good enough to point me in the right direction please? Thanks in advance. by the way, have also rebooted phone and PC end tried again, no difference, used different leads/connectors, tried MTP, PTP, USB 3.0 modes on phone connection settings blah blah bblah
If anybody knows where I might be able to get a driver that works, would be good, or any other possible solutions would be helpful. Am going to try via Wi-Fi using ES explorer but would prefer to use USB 3.0 as quicker for large files.
Again, thanks in advance for any suggestions.
