You can extract the kies installation package with 7zip or similar. Navigate to CabFile/USB Driver. Unarchive the cab package. You will get the USB drivers installer. Run this.
WHS ^^ Just done that on my win 7 X64 box. Works a treat

I've ran the installer however the device is still listed as unknown within windows device manager. I've also tried installing the latest version of bloatware kies and factory reset the phone. I've tried installing on both x86 win 7 & xp but the device is never recognised, I would put it down to the galaxy wire malfunctioning but it does manage to charge when plugged into the USB
Can anyone provide me with the specific drivers for galaxy S or know which of the folders within ..\SAMSUNG\usb_drivers\ is specifically for the galaxy?

This may sound extremely stupid, but make sure you are using the original cable that came with the phone, that sorted out all the problems for me.
I got mine today, fired up kies and found it horrendous so uninstalled it, I changed it to Mass-usb device from the settings menu, need to mount it but no other issues

i did the same thing but my pc doesn't recognize the USB mass storage. should i factory reset my phone?
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.

drivers from softpedia are OLD
drivers are updated!
v1.3.2250.0 (dated 8 march 2011)
download here
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.
Kies requires motherboard USB port and does not like Laptops .

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.
Hello,
Just an average XDA noob speaking here. Reason i'm creating this topic is because I'm having problems getting the ADB composite drivers right. Previously I've rooted a HTC Hero without any problems, but with my Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 I just can't fix it, I searched in all corners of the Internet. Below are my specs.
- Android 2.3.5
- Unbranded
I've also tried to root with SuperOneClick and by replacing the boot.img, but I can't get it to work because of the drivers.
When I get to recover mode (the pink/purple screen) it isn't showing me the IMAGE folder on my computer. Also tried to install new drivers for the ADB composite by using the H:/Mobile Partner disk on my phone but that isn't helping either. It says their isn't any new hardware found in the folder, but as you can see on the image, there are still exclamation marks. I Also uninstalled the drivers a few times and tried to re-install them but that isn't working neither. Firstly my phone was recognized as an Other device > Ethernet Controller in the device manager screen. But that was possible to solve by browsing to the H:\MobilePartner\Drivers folder.
By the way, when in recovery mode plugged in the computer, it shows me two drivers called "HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES". I can't seem to find a good driver for those, they also show the !-mark.
Any help will be appreciated! :good:

What's the best way to do that? Just delete them from the device manager screen and letting them re-install automaticly by the phone? Or just download drivers from the internet and install it manually?

if u r doing manual driver installation, then its best to disallow auto-installation by windows..
delete all instances from device manager, or u may use an application called "USBDeview" to remove the usb drivers.. and i think this second way is probably doing it more cleanly..

Ok ty, I started over, deleted all the drivers and let Windows install the drivers themself. Still not working. I find it very strange why Android Composite ADB Interface pops up 4 times in the device manager... As you can see, he installed one by himself >> https://(w)(w)w.dropbox.com/s/lttgky3qozhraf9/kak4.png
I'll try your method.
Apologies if this is really, REALLY dumb, but I rarely use windows. I bought this little windows laptop for the sole purpose of rooting my Note 3/Note 4 using odin -- no problem! I am trying to root my S7 Edge and when I try to just connect the S7 Edge to the PC without Odin running I get the "Found New Hardware Wizard" . In all the videos I've seen the phone should just pop up like a removable drive. I installed the Samsung Drivers, and I can't think of what else it could be other than that this ancient computer doesn't play well with Samsung. Any Ideas?
Here are the specs that I could find:
Microsoft Windows XP
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Pentium 4 CPU 2.0GHZ
the computer is fine there is an issue with the samsung drivers. They maybe out of date.
does the new hardware wizard finish or stops and gives you an error message.
Pop shows if the drivers are correctly installed on your computer.

I would think the opposite, that the drivers are too new to be compatible with XP.

Thanks Guys!
It says that it is v1.5.14.0 which apparently I got on 12/22/2013. Do you think I should download a newer version?
Regarding the Hardware Wizard it asks me to connect to the internet, and when I choose not to that's it. Also, what do you mean by "Pop", Cosmic Blue?

if you choose not connect with the internet it cannot download the proper samsung drivers for your phone.
yes you need a newer driver as the samsung 7edge has some newer features older samsung drivers cannot read.
pop means pop up but i was typing too fast.

that is encouraging it means that the computer is trying to connect to your phone.
did you enable mtp on your phone. check to see if a pop up is on your phone asking for permission to allow the computer access.
try with other computers and change cables.
try to update your driver with last smart switch (uninstall current driver before)
if pb persist, try to connect usb driver (flash disk) to your device with OTG cable, if flash device can't be reconized on your phone, your phone connector is the pb. I hope this is'nt the case

Thanks for the reply! I have an OTG cable, and I am looking for a usb driver right now. I have got that to work in the past quite well.
What do you mean by "update my driver with last smart switch"?
Windows XP was fine until windows 10 arrived. Now most drivers and software demand newer libraries that doesn't exist or support in XP. So your phone being 15years newer could have problems with its parent(ie windows xp). Try upgrading to Vista(if hardware is too old) or Win7/10(if newer hardware). I suggest you to stay away from 8/8.1
ps. since its a pentium 4 processor, i'm not sure newer OS support it. Windows vista could run though(provided you have atleast 512mb of RAM)
