(volme down+home+power)
it can find no driver.
at my work it went noramly and i pur rom on no problem but at home i can not use odin cause my comp can't find drivers.
i have all drivers instaled and in normal mode works great just in download mode not???
i had xp on and now i instaled win7 and the same problem.
it doesen't matter if i put my usb in debugging mode or not always the same...
any idea...help please??
regards Matjaz
you can install the Android SDK drivers on your home PC
also make sure you have a good working USB port
some computer have defective USB ports that does funny things.
at home 1 of my keyboard does that
1 USB por works great, the 2nd USB port acts like crazy, so i only use it to charge battery on that one.
great thx i will try now those methods.....
tnx
no....none of the solutions works.....any other idea?
it doesn't make any sense.
did you download Android SDK?
when you plug in your phone to the PC, you have to select the drivers that came with the Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
if those drivers doesn't work, then you have no way of using Odin or ADB
you need to also set the phone to be in USB debugging mode, inside settings > application
For those of you having a problem with Windows 7 recognizing your Vibrant ... here is how I fixed it on my system.
*Note: You do not need to load any special USB drivers for your phone to be recognized in Mass Storage mode in Windows 7.
*Warning: You follow these instructions at your own risk ... no screaming at me if you try it and something gets screwed up!
1) Navigate your way into the Device Manager / Universal Serial Bus Controller
2) Uninstall the device(s) "USB Root Hub" (My system had 2 listed)
3) You will lose mouse and keyboard control (because you just removed the USB Hubs)
4) Reset your PC and allow Windows to boot normally.
5) Go back to the device manager and wait for all of the "!" marks to go away as windows re-installs the USB Hubs and reinitializes all of your devices.
6) Make sure your Vibrant is in mass storage mode and has USB debugging OFF
7) Plug in your Vibrant via the USB cable and be amazed as windows recognizes your device and assigns the drive letters. After you select the mount option on your phone you will have normal access via windows explorer.
Hope this helps some of you out there !!!

Thanks. I am having this problem right now. I used to work. now all of the sudden it just stopped connecting. But i have a clarification questions. when you say remove the usb root hub, do you mean uninstall or disable?
Thanks.
I had the same problem after flashing JI6 via ODIN (after softbricking a la t-mobile ota), but I was able to fix it by enabling the prompt to ask what to do every time usb was connected, and then changing it back to treating it as mass storage. I read this suggestion in another forum (don't remember where) and it helped with mine.
I had no trouble before the update, it just started right after.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. It should say uninstall. You want to force windows to reinstall the devices.
I know this thread is old but if you change your view in device manager to view by connection you can find which root hub to uninstall and then re-install. This happened randomly when I was trying to update my epic and I didn't have to re-start because it was only the front ports root hub that was having the problem. Thanks for the help.
Hi,
EDIT * I have found a solution in that I can connect via WI fi so that's pretty good but if anyone can help me with the USB issue, it would still be appreciated. It seems that the Wi Fi connection is more limited as I am unable to view things in explorer *
hoping to get some help using my USB to connect to my PC. I've installed Kies but when I try to connect to my PC it just keeps on trying to connect but never actually does it.
I have looked for guidance on this but keep coming across the instructions to go into 'about phone > USB settings' etc etc. However, I do not have a USB settings in about phone. In fact, there is nothing at all about USB in About Phone. I do have a 'USB Utilities' in Wireless and Networks but all that gives me the option to do is 'Connect Storage to PC'. I have a memory card in my phone.
When I do connect to the USB cable, with Kies open, when windows 'finds new hardware' it keeps saying a problem occurred during installation.
Please can anyone help me out? All I want to do is basically drag and drop some files from my PC to my phone. Thanks very much for your help.
Settings --> Applications -- Development --> USB debugging.
Thanks for that!
It got me a little further. I also unmounted then remounted the SD card. However, when I try to connect via kies I now get the message:
Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to re click the USB settings on the phone before connecting to Kies now that it's installed the hardware on my PC?

Turn off USB-Debugging
Don't connect phone yet
Open Kies
Open the Tools menu -> Troubleshoot connection error
Go through the guide and let it reinstall the drivers.
Connect you phone, and let it connect
The default setting has the USB debugging tick greyed out. When I select it, it asks me if I want to allow debugging.
Do you mean that I shouldn't allow debugging and then connect (after reinstalling Kies) or should I allow it and connect? Sorry for my noobishness, Android is all completely new to me.
You should untick the USB-debugging - Then reinstall drivers NOT entire Kies
OK, it's unticked and I'm reinstalling the drivers via troubleshooting.
Do I need to unmount then remount the SD card before connecting my phone? Thanks for your help btw.
Shouldn't make a difference
Bah, I still have the same problem. It just says that there was a problem installing the hardware when I plugged in the phone.
After reinstalling the drivers, i shut down Kies then reopened it. I then plugged in the USB and then plugged the USB into my phone.
When I first installed Kies yesterday, Microsoft Active Sync kept on trying to activate and ask for a CD. It kept on holding up Kies. In the end I uninstalled Active Sync. Also, I still have Samsung PC Studio on my PC from when I had a Samsung a few years ago. It was one of those old slider phones, not a smart phone. Could that be part of the problem? I was hoping to keep it because it's proved to have the best media player I've ever had.
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong here.
Try without restarting Kies.
What part of the drivers aren't installed? (Check device manager)
In Device Manager, under Portable Devices there's something called Android MTP that has an exclamation mark next to it. It says it's not configured correctly and that 'No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device'. I'll reinstall the Kies drivers now.
Thanks for this help mljjlm
P.S. Now that I've unplugged the phone, the MTP thing isn't showing in the device manager list anymore.

Of course, it's a part of the phone, and it should not be plugged in because they would have to force a reboot when reinstalling drivers (which might sort your problem btw)
Reinstalled the Kies Drivers and then plugged in my phone but got the same problem. It says a problem occurred. Same device now has a problem in device manager. Maybe I should just uninstall everything and restart? Should I uninstall the old PC studio too?
Just try the reboot without uninstalling anything and then plug the phone in when your pc has booted
Argh! Still didn't work! I think there must be a problem with my PC, well, I'll try doing full uninstalls and reinstall it all. I have to go now as well so I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Thanks very much for your patience mljjlm. It has been greatly appreciated
Are you trying to just transfer files back and forth? If so... forget using Kies.
(I don't have a micro-USB cable with me currently, so this is all from memory)
Just remove the drivers from your device manager so it's like your machine has never seen your phone before. Then on your phone enable usb-debugging.
When you then plug in your phone, you should get a usb icon up top on your phone's display... pull the window-shade down and click on the USB connection button. You should get a fullscreen window on your phone that says something like USB Connection with the friendly android waiving.
Now your PC should see your phone as a standard USB mass storage device.
try plugging the usb cable in another usb port on your computer and than try again.

You're using Kies, that's what you're doing wrong. You said in your very first post you wanted to be able to drag and drop some files from your PC to your phone, so use USB debugging (say yes when it asks you) and Windows Explorer.
If you are using a custom rom like Checkrom Revolution you will need to install the kies support from kitchen pro.
Also are you using the cable that came with your phone?
I have found a few microUSB cables that will allow charge and wont allow data transfer like the new ones for nokia devices and some blackberrys.
It worked! The USB debugging thing!
Thanks to everyone who helped me out. The forum said I was limited to 5 thanks per day so if you didn't get one of the thanks I apologise. Thanks very much!
Hi Guys.
I have one Redmi Note 3 and I am having a problem to connect it to my pcs.
Before everything was ok. I connected the USB cable and I could transfer files between my pc and the Redmi Note 3 using My Computer.
Now, I connect the Note 3 and I cannot see the storage anymore. So, it's impossible to copy anything between pc or note 3.
I checked with several cables and different ports and in two different pcs. I cannot connect with MIPC Suite either. The Note 3 recharges normally.
I believe it's a driver version problem.
I am using Windows 10 and MIUI 7.1.6.0 Stable Version.
Thanks for all help.
Check if the drivers are updated to win10
The best way is to download them from miui.com or mi.com
Enamorado de mi Redmi Note 3 ?

Thanx mate..
Go to the Setting> Additional Setting and look for the "developer options"
if you cant see that option, go to the Setting> About phone and tap five times on "MIUI version", you'll see a little popup message "you a developer now", then go to Setting> Additional > Developer options and enable "developer options" and "USB debugging"
Hey Guys, even i faced the same problem but it got fixed so easily than i ever thought . As soon as you connect your phone to laptop using data cable, you will find an option called " Touch for more option" in your phone, when you touch on that option, it will prompt you with three option > Charging only , Thasfer files (MTP) and Transfer photos (PTP), when you click on these you will be able to see Internal storage, then you can copy paste whatever files you want Hope it helps.

Hi. I bought a Redmi Note 7 Global 32GB/3GB yesterday and I have problem with transferring files
When I connect my phone to my PC (win 10) via it's USB cable, a menu appears with 3 options on the phone:
*No data transfer
*File transfer
*Transfer photos (PTP)
No matter which one I choose, In all 3 situations a partition appears in "This PC" which is empty and there is no file or folder in it. When I commit to copy a file to it, this error shows up:
Cannot copy item
This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected
I've no problem with my honor 3c (android 4.4) and other phones on my PC, Also they have MTP option which connects so fast and let me transfer all file and folders.
What should I do?
It's kind of weird because now the phone is recognized and working well via USB 3 but USB 2 still has the above-mentioned problem.
I also have an old pc which I have linux lite, Chalet OS, and lubuntu on it. surprisingly file transfer works on linux lite and chalet OS via USB 1.1 - 2.0.
Can anyone use file transfer on windows via USB 2 port?
Hey man, I just bought the same phone today, 32/3gb and global, when I tried to connect it the first time that happened and I got scared.
I researched a bit and did a few things, deleted the drivers and the device in windows 10 device manager, reinstalled them and factory resetted my phone, and now is working well. I think the factory reset did the trick.
I hope this helps you. Cheers.

Hey. Thanks for sharing your solution. So you've experienced the same problem. Did you test USB 3 before uninstalling drivers and resetting your phone?
Are you able to see your phone's content and transfer via USB 2?

Hello, sorry for the late response, I hope you found a solution early, but if not, I used both USB 2.0 and 3.0 (I think that's what you're referring to) and it did not work, after the reset and unistallation of drivers, both of them worked. I also have to say that I was using the cable issued in the box where the phone came, I'm still using it without trouble.
