Hey guys, just got my Tab a few days ago, its unlocked and its working great. I want to root, but my PC wont recognize it (running win7) and it says the USB device has malfunctioned... wth? I searched through some threads about the drivers, and ive tried 4 different ones, restarted my PC, AND my Tab, with no luck. No, USB Debugging is not enabled. (not a noob, just, simply not working)
Any ideas? I would appreciate it
I just got my tab 3hours ago. I got it to work.
Here are what i've done
1.go to control panel and see if samsung usb driver is there. If it is, uninstall it.
2.disable usb debugging on the tab
3.connect the tab to the computer.
Thats wht worked for me. Hope it helps. And yes, samsung has really got to work on the usb thing.
Unzip and run the attached file. Delete any old unused USB device and delete any Android, Samsung or other related device then reinstall Samsung drivers.

This helped me: my computer tower has front and back USB ports. Back USB ports are directly embedded in the motherboard, front USB ports are a wire run from the case plugged into the motherboard, but the front USB ports are on a different chip.
When I first tried using the ADB debugger with Android, ADB would not even find my device if I plugged the device into the front USB ports. If I move the cord to the back USB ports, everything works properly. Maybe this is your issue?
Thanks guys, I believe I got it working.
I've tried about everything, in terms of uninstalling drivers, rebooting the computer, trying X and Y driver to no avail. I used the root toolkit to uninstall my previous SII drivers in case that was the problem, but still cant see it.
'
when running the root toolkit full driver configuration, I keep getting the message
turn USB debugging on (it's on)
use the recommended cable (using the stock cable)
use usb 2.0 ports (doing that)
uncheck MTP in usb debugging (dont have that option
What else can I try? I did not have this much trouble rooting my SII a year ago.
Thanks

try not using a root toolkit
Can your computer see the phone in MTP or PTP mode?
Uninstall the driver for your Nexus while connected as USB Debugging and reinstall it with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
If you are using Windows 8, disable driver signature first.
why dont you root via fast boot?

OK so I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T I have rooted and flashed to Page plus with no problems. I reflashed back to stock to NAF and did all the Updates to NG5. I have enabled Developer options and have usb debug enabled. I cannot for life of get the phone to show up as usb debugging enabled. So now I am having trouble with anything I do with DFS or Wireless Workshop that requires usb debugging to be used. I have tried different usb cords and different usb ports and have uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers and still cant get the phone itself to show usb debugging enabled in the pull down screen on the phone. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and found one post with a similar problem but no resolutions to it. Mods and admins I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section/forum please move if need be. Thanks.
Hello everyone I've got an issue with my Nexus 4 which is why I registered, as I simply don't know what to do anymore.
My Nexus 4 is not recognized via USB at all, there is no connection sound and ist does not appear in the device manager.
It is charging and does show USB charging if I tap the battery icon.
Things I tried:
Uninstall/Install Driver with and without WugFresh Toolkit (USBDeview)
different Pcs (different USB Ports)
different USB cables which all worked with other mobile devices such as Samsung S3/4/5 mini
checking and unchecking MTP,PTP and Usb debugging
fastbootmode
factory reset
replaced the USB flex cable as i figured it would be defect
I tried to root it with some of the apps available bur none of them work with LMY48T.
I think it might be firmware related but because I didn't flash a Custom Recovery the last time I rooted it I have no possibility to flash another rom.
The root access was lost when the last OTA Update arrived which is why I can't install a custom recovery via the clockworkmod Rom Manager.
The Pc I'm working with is running on Win 10 I'm running out of ideas.
Please help me, thank you
So I have tried and tried to get adb mode working on my Galaxy s8 with no success. Is there anything special you need to do first to get your computer to see your phone??
Have you enabled usb debugging in developer options?
If the above poster didn't nail the problem then 9/10 times the issue is with either the USB drivers on your machine or a bad USB cable
I ended up getting it running on a different laptop. Worked right away. Seems my original laptop doesn't recognize the Samsung device, even with the drivers
