with those it should work right?

It still doesnt recognize it in download mode

You did open Odin right?

yeah ofcourse!!

I might be mistaken, but if you install the latest Kies Mini it also includes all the latest drivers you need.

yes.
Get Kies Mini.
It installs ALL your drivers, and we're you on a 2.3 ROM before bricking? in that cause you may need NEXUS S drivers.

if you were on cm7 you may need the nexus s drivers. i get the drivers for cm7 from the android sdk manager->available packages->third pary add-ons->Google Inc.->Google USB Driver package.

Heres what happens, if i let my phone boot normally, it recognizes it normally as a sgh t959 device as samsung, but if my phone is in download mode it wont recognise it besides a unknown device????? i flashed simply honey 3.6 comming from 2.2.1 biwinning lol, so it bricked..

Definitely driver related. Re-install them, reboot the PC and try multiple USB ports and multiple PC's if possible. USB port could be a potential issue but wouldn't make sense being you can be recognized fine when the phone is booted.

I already tried that, and it still doesnt work??? God i hate that when it happens...
My win7 also just simply worked but xp is just killing me

[Q] Windows doesn't recognize my A500 through usb

Ok so I think I've searched well enough to conclude no one has my particular problem. When I plug in my A500 into my computer that has windows 7 windows recognizes that something was plugged in but not what it is. It says USB device not recognized, unknown device, and so on. I've tried installing the drivers from the acer website, I've tried installing the drivers from the link in the ics rooting thread, I've tried using the google android drivers and none have worked. I've even tried reinstalling windows but that had nothing to do with this it was a different thing that made me do it. Nothing has worked and I've become a bit frustrated with the tablet. Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

What state are you connecting it in (recovery, fastboot, normal boot)?

Moborobo test program

Sorry forgot to say, it's stock rom not rooted and is being connected in normal boot.

Moborobo, download the program and try it. Ami has worked with me many android devices
---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------
Moborobo, download the program and try it. to me has run many android devices. sorry for my English

Your computer isn't detecting it at all, or is there an error while trying to identify it? Make sure you have the proper drivers for your device on your computer.

It's an error identifying it. I do have the correct drivers the a500 drivers from either the rooting guide or the Acer website neither has worked.

Moborobo does not work with the a500. I tried it and it still says to connect my device. which it is but it's just unrecognized.

If you have installed the driver correctly, AND you had administrator rights when you installed, should be no reason why you can't get the PC to recognize the device.
First, I would advise using a good USB cable. It's been known in the past, that some folks try to use a printer cable, and sometimes it doesn't work. If changing cables doesn't work, then do the following
1. In Device Manager, try loading the drivers manually. You should be able to have it search the windows system for the drivers. If it doesn't find it, then windows is being stupid. Try installing it manually (ignore the warning it may not be compatible,.....)
2. If that doesn't work, then you can use the Google USB drivers
http://www.redmondpie.com/android-u...r-samsung-htc-asus-sony-lg-and-other-devices/
Generally, we install the Android SDK first;
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
And again, have Device manager look to that directory and manually select.
Either way, this should get you up and running.
And one more thing, turn on USB Debugging in your tablet's system properties.
MD

I've tried that. Didn't seem to work as windows would still not recognize the a500. And the usb debugging has been on since the beginning.

Okay i've gotten windows to the point of being able to install the drivers from the device manager but there is no clear option to choose. Here are the choices:
acer android communications port
acer android modem
acer hs-usb android diag
acer hs-usb diagnostics
acer composite adb interface
acer fastboot interface
acer picasso usb boot-recovery driver (google driver)
android bootloader interface (google driver)
So any suggestions cause I've tried installing the adb interface, fastboot interface and the android bootloader interface and haven't gotten any good results.
Thanks

Did you try a second PC? Sometimes a machine can get wonky if you've been using for years. Using a second machine or reinstalling Windows freshly would greatly increase the chances of detection.

Yep tried about 3 machines.

I'm having the same issue with a bricked A500 I bought on ebay
Windows just recognizes it as an MTP USB device and fails to install the drivers
I have another A500 that comes up fine as an A500 on the same PC.

Try disabling the USB debugging in developer options I have the same issue with my Win 7 x64 system

then plug any other usb dongle in like a wireless mouse thats already been installed

it took me months to figure that one out - even microsoft and samsung hadnt got any ideas
its because windows 8.1 has changed the usb stack and requires that all drivers be digitally signed and has an identifer that the bios can read
this means some old usb device didnt work unless they met condition already although new drivers became available for most things but for some reason samsung havent updated their usb drivers in years (May 5, 2011 is last officall release) so im guessing thats why it doesnt fully work in windows 8.1 and im sure the problem is because its not properly signed so the device fails to enumerate unless you do the plugging in another usb device
other old phones work fine like htc and new samsung phones also work fine so its properly just a strange issue with the way the galaxy y handles usb

unfortunatly thats the only solution iv found for windows 8.1 - if you restart the phone or remove the usb cable you have to go through the process again of unplugging cable plugging back in then plugging any other usb dongle in after - its the only way iv found for windows 8.1 to enumerate the device

[Q]_S5360, USB Device Not Recognized_ Help plz

I tried a ROM, and i fail, i can't turn on my phone (s5360), i must back my phone to STOCK ROM with Odin, but USB Device Not Recognized, i installed driver, help me

if you have installed the driver correctly using rear usb ports if on a pc and set your phone to download mode correctly there is no reason why odin will not display com then a number in a coloured box under com:id which shows odin is connected and you have android adb device displayed in device manager

you can not use kies to flash or restore firmware on galaxy y - it is not supported and kies is just not needed
if you have installed the usb drivers from the link in my thread (in compatibility mode if on windows 8/8.1) - are using a working usb cable rear usb ports on pc and correct split firmware from my thread it will work
unless you have a faulty usb port/cable it will be due to user error

Are you boot into download mode already? If not , odin will not recognize your phone anyway

install samsung usb driver first n then connect your phone with download mode by usb
Note:make sure that usb driver is install properly before connect ur phone

Try to use your cable connected from your pc and your phone again. If the same problem happened, try to connect your phone using that cable to another pc. BUT if that phone is not recognized, I think the problem is in the cable. Try to buy another one, and if same thing happened, the problem is in the usb port of your phone.

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
