[Q] Can't get S5 to connect to PC - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I have a rooted Galaxy S5 G900F with custom kernel.
I have rooted it and installed custom kernel to be able to connect to my Pioneer Car Headunit with ARLiberator.
Now i have a problem, i can't get my S5 to connect to PC through USB.
PC tells me that it can't recognize the Phone and for some reason can't install the drivers too.
So when i connect my phone to PC, PC starts looking for MTP Driver and couple of other drivers and they are always fail to install.
Please let me know what can be done.
Thanks

The download will be an .exe...Install it& reboot the computer and you should be good to go.

You're not the only one with this problem. I've tried a 100 things without success.
Given up and use MobileGo which does eventually connect via USB and Es File Explorer via WiFi

Connecting the S4 to Kies

I just got my S4 and I wanted to connect to Kies via a usb cable at work, no wifi available. So I installed KIES and connected it and I am getting the dreaded " Reconnect device in Samsung Kies (PC Mode)" and it tells me to disable usb debugging. I have verififed that PC debugging is off and reinstalled Kies but still I get the same message. My usb mode is MTP... Any suggestions? I have tried different usb ports as well with no luck. Is anyone using Kies?

Sorry I dont have a better answer but try another cable if you have one. Ive seen this be the root of the issue many times.

Thanks, the device currently comes up as a SAMSUNG SGH l537 I tried running the mini kies setup and the driver installation which oddly failed. Would you be able to give me the exact driver that yours is using. I cracked open that installer and the drivers are all there I should be able to force it to the right one.

only the first day i bought my gti 9505 lte i updated my device via kies. after i rooted my s4, i never use kies.
After connecting my device the first time to my laptop, kies recognized my phone automaticly.
If there is an update for Kies, the program should recognize your device and install the right drivers.
Kies is only installed on my laptop for sync my wife's galaxy note 2. Her phone runs stock 4.1.2.
So normally must kies install the right drivers.Even for your device.

I think having a 64bit OS in win7 might be part of the issue as well. I probably don't need kies at all but I thought it would be nice to add contacts via outlook. My contacts are all sorts of hosed up, I exported them to a csv from my atrix and imported them into outlook. The next step was to import them with Kies which I thought would be a no brainer. oh well, hopefully the kies wifi will work when i get home.

Still no luck, unfortunatly at work windows update is blocked so that is not an option here as far as the driver update.

Samsung drivers

Hi .
does anyone know other drivers i can use for the i9505 device?
The drivers installed from keis do not work under Recovery mode from TWRP .
When i connect my device to my windows 8 machine, on device manager it complains that it cannot find the drivers for the phone yet when the device is booted into a working rom of any kind, it detects it?
Thanks in advance
Google, Samsung usb drivers.

tried the above steps and did not work
windows still cant detect my phone.
edit: even on my windows 7 laptop it wont detect it
Did you kill or uninstall Kies? If so, try a different cable.
Might be Windows 8 ( wouldn't be surprised ) try running kies in Win7 or XP mode etc? Have you allowed USB debugging?
i've tried a different cable and even a different computer all together where i installed win7 on that laptop only a week ago so still fresh. im about to try it on my imac .
If this doesnt work then surely the drivers in question are not correct!
will find the mac drivers

TMobile G2 cant connect to PC over wire

So, I cant seem to be able to connect my G2 to the PC via USB cable. I get "usb device not recognized" error, and when looking for the device via LGPC Suite, it says driver not installed and attempts to re-install the driver to no avail. Im using Win 7 64 bit. Here's what Ive done to attempt to fix it:
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the driver and LGPC Suite in my normal user account and in admin admin account.
Redownloaded both driver and LGPC Suite and doing the above.
Tried 3 different USB cables.
Tried 2 different USB ports.
Yes, Im changing the connection options on the phone from MTP and LG Software.
Phone charges normally over USB.
I *can* however connect to LGPC Suite via wifi successfully.
Any ideas? Im stumped.

Sorry for bumping old thread, but have you found a solution? I found my self in exactly same situation as you describe.
Phone is in LG Software mode
LG Suite can find the phone over Wi-fi, other modes work through USB.
Tried on two different computers, with win7/win8 respectively.
Stock EU ROM, just bought it.
Tried different USB ports.
Yet PC doesn't recognize it :/
EDIT: Never mind, solved it by following the following instructions in another thread:
cmahendra said:
You must be on 64 bit windows. Not even on 64bit, Still try this...
1) Uninstall LG Drivers, LG PC Suite and anything you see named LG. Restart PC.
2) Install latest LG Driver from this post (step 4)
3) Install Optional MTP Driver from this post (step 4)
4) Open Windows Device Manager (just to watch whats happening.)
5) Disconnect Internet (To avoid stupid online WDM drivers)
6) Connect phone with Usb and let drivers install automatically. Give it some time to install drivers keeping watch on Device Manager window.
7) Keep changing USB connect modes to all modes one-by-one on Phone and let drivers install.
You should see MTP drivers installed now. If this does not help, cant think of anything else. If this works, press THANKS button
EDIT: Connect USB at backside of pc, directly to USB on pc motherboard.

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.

Right, so I´m running Win7 64 Bit
I tried multiple USB Ports, rebooting PC and Phone, resetting Phone and now i´m all out of ideas
I never had any problems with the other phones I rooted and unlocked on this Computer

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.

Usb cable problem?
Try toggle usb debugging
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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

Oneplus 2 no OS installed

Hey guys,
Earlier today I wiped my phone while trying to update the system, but when I tried to install the update it failed. That means that I'm now sitting without an OS on my phone, only able to access TWRP Recovery and Fastboot. I've successfully installed adb drivers and all of that, but when connecting the phone to a computer ADB doesn't find any devices and device manager only sees it as an unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I have been seaching for a couple of hours now and have not been able to find anything that works, so I'm hoping that you guys can help.

When I try to update the driver, as it says in step A-7, the only unknown device is the unknown usb device and when I try to update that one with the qc folder, it just says that Windows have determined that it is up to date?

Have you tried connecting to PC while in TWRP recovery ? You should be able to access internal storage using mtp. Then you can copy another rom & flash it.
I have tried connecting to Windows 8.1 on a Macbook Pro while in TWRP Recovery, and that's where it said it was an unknown USB device.

Any other ideas, because I do not own any other USB type C cables. The one I'm using is the one that came with the phone, but I have never had any issues with it.

Lets try installing the drivers again. If this doesn't work, then it should be a cable issue OR usb port issue. Try this on another pc.
1. Download Oneplus2 USB drivers -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347833370
2. Before installing the drivers, Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM1MN8QZhnk
3. Install the drivers & Restart.
4. Now try either connecting to pc while in TWRP or fastboot.
you can flash factory image through fastboot

Maybe this is a bit annoying but the best solution is to buy another cable since a few weeks ago I had the same problem, bought a new cable and the problem was solved. Hope this helps
Then flash the OS through TWRP using the advanced tool that allows you to sideload files using adb.

How to enter mtp on recovery/fastboot?
I've done the same thing in the past (erase everything) , the solution that worked for me is this:
1.Always have a twrp back up on a usb stick.
2.Buy a cheap usb 2 type c to usb adaptor.
3.Enter twrp and restore the back up.
This way you do not need a pc/drivers etc.
I hope it helps.
