[need help] usb device not recognized!!! - Nexus S General

hey guys,
I don't know if this still a problem with people. but I'm on win7 64bit and I can't seem to connect my nexus s, to my computer. I always have to upload from computer to dropbox then download the file from DB on my phone... usb plug doesn't work. I tried the same cable with my wifes Samsung vibrant and it recognizes it, but when i plug in my nexus s the debug icon shows up on my phones status bar for like 1 second and disappears. then window on my compter says "USB Device Not Recognized"
need help please.

What does it say in device manager (in windows)? Maybe the driver is wrong...

do u have a right drivers installed
have a look here and check Google USB Driver

I'm having the same problem. I have tried both my computers and multiple cables but I continue to get the error. When I try to update the drivers or reinstall them Windows says the drivers are up to date. I've tried every USB port on both computers as well.
I even took the phone into a repair place to see if perhaps the USB port on the phone was malfunctioning and they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Try installing pdanet, I had a similar issue when I rooted my ns and installing the pdanet drivers solved the problem.

I've been having the problem also and none of the fixes worked. Not even PDA net. You'd think that the more people have this problem so one would have found a real fix by now.

I can't get the PDAnet drivers to install - during the installation process, my phone has to plugged in, which of course the installation program can't see.
Weird thing is if I remove the battery and then plug the usb in and start the phone, the drivers show up in the device manager but they always disappear before I can unlock the phone - appears the USB connection on my Nexus S is broken...can;t think of anything else.

USB Device Not Recognized-Windows 7

I just got windows 7 pro(clean install on new hard drive) and when I went to plug my fascinate in(using stock cable) a dialog box that read USB Device Not Recognized and Device Drivers Not Installed. I unplugged my phone but the USB Device Not Recognized still keeps popping up. Reboot fixed that but still won't recognize it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Does anybody know of any other drivers for 7 that are 32 bit that might work? Thanks
Also I'm not rooted, stock ea28. If that helps at all. Again thanks.

Go to Samsung's support site (here) and then the software part on the download page. Download the drivers for the Fascinate and install them, and you should be good.
EDIT: or download here
I had an issue where the USB ports on the back of my motherboard would not recognize my fascinate. However, when I plug it into the USB ports in the front, it does. It might have to do with it being run through a different chip on the motherboard, (Or it could be my crappy Foxconn board.)

Samsung vibrant usb problem...genius help need :(

Hello Guys...GretoVerno here fellow Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant Owner...
I have this phone and everytime i connect it to usb i Get the Message
"USB Device Not Recognized" error message...I have installed all the drivers i could possible find on the internet and the error still pops up...i ahve tried using the phone in USB Debugging mode to no avail what so ever...
Someone Please help if there's a genius out there...I really love this phone
Uninstall the Samsung drivers off your computer. Then reinstall make sure that have the correct version windows 32 bit or 64 bit for the correct operating format. Make sure you give admin rights to it. you can find these drivers in the Noob bible by S15274N in the Gen section. I am assuming there is not a problem with your phone. If you have a friend, check it on their computer, that's an easy way to rule out phone issues. That should resolve what ever problem you have.
There ia another way to check, that is have a friend with odin (or you) and see if Odin recognizes, if it does, then you got it solved or at the very least Odin back to stock and reinstall a new rom, this will solve all these issues as well.
Hope you get it, good luck
Had an issue with my brother in laws comp not recognizing his vibrant. Took an hour or two to get his phone recognized. I think we ended up using the drivers from pdanet instead of the official danny drivers. First try getting your phone to work on another comp. Will help narrow down the issue by 50%

Windows cannot recognize my vibrant!
Hopefully someone can help me out as I am having the
same problem with my computer not recognizing my phone.
The thing is that I am already running Froyo stock 2.2
and at the time I was able to update it to 2.2 my
computer recognized my phone without a problem. I have
been reading the forums for a while now and the only
time anyone had this problem was when they first bought
the phone when it was released but here is my problem.
After updating Kies mini and installing the official
Samsung drivers from the Samsung website I plug in the
phone and i get the error that windows does not
recognize the device. I have tried this on Windows Xp
and Windows 7 on 2 different laptops and got the same
error everytime. So what I did was while on Windows Xp I
uninstalled the unknown driver and I kept plugging and
unplugging the phone and uninstalling the unknown driver
until I got my computer to finally recognize my phone.
Once my computer recognized my phone I Then started
downloading the recent update, when the download was
done as soon as my phone went into download mode my
computer kicked out my phone and gave me the error that
windows does not recognize the device and at that time
Kies mini gave me the emergency recovery notice which I
didnt have to use because the phone booted fine without
fail.
You should also know that prior to the recent
update from tmobile for minor bug fixes I tried to root
my vibrant using the superoneclick root program. Upon
doing this after fighting with my vibrant and my laptop
to communicate with each other my computer recognized
the phone and I attempted to root. Then I got the
looping message and at that time windows did not
recognize my device which then messed up my modem and I
had to do a system restore. So after weeks of fustration
trying to root and now not able to downlaod the recent
update I am now asking for your help as XDA has been
there for us all. I have tried samsung drivers, kies mini
drivers and pdanet drivers and get the same windows
doesn't recognize my device everytime. Does anyone have
any ideas as what I can do to get my computer to
recognize my phone as I can not do anything until my
computer and my vibrant get along. Your help is greatly
appreciated XDA thanks for all that you do!
do you guys have Samsung kies installd??

You know that's the only thing that I haven't tried should I pick one up from T-Mobile or were should I get one?
I am getting the same error and i tried a buddy's cord and it still did the same thing. Not really sure what happened. My phone was working fine just a few days ago. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the large amount of Windows Updates that just happened.
Try uninstalling your drivers and install these. I had the same problem and then I used this and it has worked on every computer. Heck even worked when I hooked up my SGS2
http://www.multiupload.com/FUL878MTJH
I had the same issue. It is a phone problem and I had to get a warranty replacement. No combo of cables or drivers would fix mine.
Well after uninstalling and reinstalling, trying new drivers, restarting countless number of times, troubleshooting through the device manager, I had the genius idea to restart my phone in a last ditch effort before i gave up and it worked.
Now i feel somewhat like a dodo. Rule #1 - Restart

Have you rebooted since you installed the drivers?
Well I tried those drivers from that link you provided and no dice. Im going to pick up a new usb cord from Tmobile tomorrow and see if that might be the problem. I can always use a 2nd cord for charging I guess.

That would be the logical next step.. just to verify, you have restarted the phone and computer since installing the drivers right? If you have then its most likely the cord. Its weird these cords seem to have been giving me problems more than any previously owned ones ie regular usb or even my amp cord which I step on and rip out the amp more than i'd like to admit

Makes sure that when you uninstall your drivers to restart your PC then reinstall and give a shot. Of course, also make sure you are using the right 64x or 86x driver.

KitKat on Nexus 7 Failes

My problem is basically getting my nexus 7 to connect to the pc... This is what I've done. and what happends...
When I first connected it, I got no message at all, and nothing happened, then I changed the cables around, I changed the USB Pports... and by some mysterious wounder I found a combo of pad, port and cable that made my nexus go your connected as MEdia Device... BUT my computer wont see it.. hmm.. changed it to camera mode, and still nothing. Then I turned off USB Debug. Still nothing, but wen I turned it back on, I got the message that I was connected, and I got to install some drivers, and NExus popped up as a camera in windows 8... Started up the nexus toolkit thingy (I love simplicity) And there it popped up.. rebooted to fastboot, and no luck... windows wont recognize the damn driver. And I have done everything I can think of except install linux and try it there... IT wont connect in Fastboot mode, Not a chance... I've tried to unindatll all the drivers, and their files. everything I can think of... I've followed like 20 diffrendt howto s on the same problem, and no luck...
So how would a guy like me go about doing this in linux... is there a tool made for it? Do I need to do it all by commands? Is there a howto?
In my win8 64bit the nexus 7(2012) does show up as a portable device, but MTP works and there's no issue with sending or pulling files. currently it's running stock kitkat 4.4 (KRT16S).
like you I suspect it's a driver issue with windows. If you could locate the device on device manager (try View\Devices by connection and look under PCI Express Root Complex and comb for USB Host Controller\USB Root Hub\Generic USB Hub), delete the entry for Nexus7 and scan for hardware changes again. This forces the system to look for correct driver(s) for your nexus.
Some guides on updating drivers are in fact concerned with the ADB interface, which is needed for USB debugging. In your case, if it's just accessing the internal storage of your Nexus you want to solve, those info may not be relevant.

Basically I would like to have ¤.¤ installed on my Tablet. Right now I have 4.2.2 SmoothROM installed, and whilst this works for me, I'd like to get the update.
In the past, I used the Toolkit to root and install stuffies... Until the last update to SmoothROM wheres I used GooManager thingy...
When I started this I got the Tablets to connect using PTP whilest in Android, but not in Fastboot mode. So I downloaded the 4.4.kitkat Offisial ROM and tried to install that in recovery, after a full wipe, BUT that ended in me having to install SmoothROM again. And now the Tablet wont connect at all... I have deleted all drives, and reinstalled them... I've tried 3 diffrent Wondows USB driver, but no luck there... I've tried like 5 diffrent USB data cables, in all 4 of my USB ports, on 2 diffrent machines, both win 7 and win 8... AND still no luck... now all the machine says that it cannot identfy the device...
Tomorrow, I will end up installing linux, and try there... At the moment I loathe all things called windows drivers...!!!!
EDIT:
Great news... I found a cable, I havent used in a long time. THis is the original cable that came with the Nexus, and I havent used it in a long time because it had some bad connections. Felt like the plug was loose, but now it made the whole thing work without any problems at all...
So I found the cable, used USBDeView to delete all drivers assossiated with the nexus. plugged it in while in fastboot, and BANG installed. rebooted it, and BANG installed.

MTP Mode not working

Hey,
So I got my D802 today and I want to do the whole Root, Recovery, ROM shenanigans.
But for the love of god I cant connect the phone in MTP mode, so I cant Root, nor install a recovery.
I cant connect to the LG PC Suite either.
Any Ideas?
what connection type are u choosing after plugging it into the computer? are u running Windows, Mac, Linux? Windows will work with mtp out of the box but I think Mac and Linux need phone drivers installed. Windows will need drivers when you're ready to "unlock" using adb.

when you first plug in your phone it gives you the option to install the drivers needed to connect in the different modes, if not on the top right corner of the menu with charge/mtp/pc software it should have the option to install the drivers

you never said what connection type you're choosing on the phone after plugging it in. there are a few options and change how the phone is seen by Windows. some options won't have it display as an mtp device or as a drive letter in my computer.

Really Weird
I'm having the same issue. I'm running OptimusG3 v1.3, I've never had an issue with it before, I used MTP to transfer files yesterday, worked flawlessy, now it won't. I was trying to map the G2 as a network drive, I installed LGPCSuite, a couple of other software that should be inconsequential, and suddenly my phone says connected as MTP, but my laptop won't recognize or show the device in My Computer. I get installing device drivers prompts, I used the hardware and devices troubleshooter which told me 'LGE Android MTP Device has a driver problem' and LGE Mobile USB Modem has a driver problem. Reinstall device driver -> completed, but still not fixed. I installed LG's universal uSB tool or whatever, no fix. I have no idea wth is up (It's not a USB debugging accidental toggle either). I'll try uninstalling PCSuite. I though it would be more useful

ok here we go again.
THIS Has been repeated over and over.
WITH Tablet plugged in go into device manger . click on the device with the yellow mark and uninstall it .Be sure to tick the check box to uninstall drivers if you have the option
unplug table and reboot.
Uninstall Kies and reboot computer ..
DO NOT CONNECT THE TABLET BACK TO COMPUTER..
Do google search for and install usbdview..
Just unzip it and run it
usbview.. open it and REMOVE ALL USB Adapters
RE DOWNLOAD KIES 2.6 I THINK THE OLDER Version for 4.1 android . new VERSION will not work
Run kies and let it update
Exit kies
Reboot computer
Run kies and let it check and d/load updates again if it needs to.
Plug in your TABLET .
If you Still have ISSUES. then you need to add at after running usbview Follow the procedure for installing un certified drivers for windows 7 . Search the internet for exact instructions for your machine. Only applies to uufi bios.
Good Luck . The above procedure works for any Driver install issue for Windows and has worked for years.... OF Course if there is no other problems . The issue is windows registeries for usb devices do NOT EVER Get purged .

Followed instructions and managed to connect 8013. Unfortunately, the rumors that there was an update to KIT KAT available were the result of
a misunderstanding. Still nice to know I can connect via KIES if need be.
The process is a bit scarey. I had some problems getting my bluetooth mouse back and my USB DAC audio.
Thanks again.

I might should have mentioned that sometimes after usbdview you could have to re install other usb devices.Its rare.. If you know exactly what your dac uses you can always NOT Uninstall it. But if you go that route and the instructions fail. your not really trouble shooting without taking all usb devices out .. As far as the bluetooth.. i am guessing you have a usb bluetooth dongle? or internal bluetooth to usb of some kind..
Glad its working for you now.. my Instructions are not always well written. I just know in my head how to do things. not so great at explaining.. OH My windows training was Direct from Microsoft online
just try to connect your note to usb port that behind of your CPU
