Problem SM-G9350: not recognized by windows/osx - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
my Samsung S7 edge SM-G9350 is not recognised when I connect it to my pc or my mac. I've already installed adb drivers, samsung kies and smart switch but none of these worked. Also I change the connecting mode of the phone (from USB storage to media device, etc). Also I have tried with different cables, not luck.
With my old Samsung S6 everything works fine!
Anyone with the same mode had any luck connecting it to a laptop? I am wondering if that is specific to the Chinese version.
Thanks for helping!!!!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 wont connect to PC

I have the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 with the latest Kangabean Google Edition rom installed. Most everything works great, except for PC connectivity. The first time the phone was never recognized by Windows at all. The phone saw that it was plugged in, but the computer couldn't see it. I tried uninstalling Kies and all Samsung drivers, rebooting, and reinstalling Kies. This worked a little bit as my computer now sees it, and Kies tries to connect but is stuck endlessly trying to connect. I searched all over the web last night and tried many different things, but this is as far as I got. Any advice?
I am also using the USB cable that came with my phone and a USB port on the back of my computer.
Thanks!

Odin not detecting device on download mode

Help! i want to flash official firmware -GT i9500
In past i was able to flash via odin on same pc and now its not showing usb all driver installed
already try changing data cable and diffrent ports i even tried reinstalling win7 and diffrent version of kies and drivers
i dont have other pc or laptops . other samsung phone is showing on download mode on same pc.
odin only shows my phone when i pull battery while connected to usb on download mode and i can flash twrp recovery or
any small size file but cant flash full firmware its disconect after some seconds
it connects well on mtp mode and twrp.
I have the same problem with my S4. I tested J5 2016 and it is connecting properly with the same cable, drivers, etc, either with odin or in normal situations when phone is on. also S8+ connects with its cable and same drivers, etc. But S4 is repeatedly connecting-disconnecting, either in downloading mode or normal situations.
I installed this driver "https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows" which is "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.51".

Already tried it didnt work. i dont have disconnecting issue on normal mode i can send and recive via usb mtp to pc for your disconnect problem if it disconnect after phone screen off, go to control panel>sytem &security>power option>change paln setting>change advanced power setting>expand all usb setting =enable change to disable.
If anyone has solution to OP please reply
Thank you!
I eventually succeed! Nothing special just used my brothers' laptop (win 7). same cable, same driver (1.5.51).
My primary problem was WiFi and Bluetooth not working. I was hopeful flashing will solve it but unfortunately no. Seems a hardware problem.
With your recommendation (enable to disable) i saw no change with my pc (win 7).

adb mode not work in ng

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

USB Device not recognized

Good afternoon,
I am trying to root my Galaxy s7 edge: G935F or my Galaxy tab A 2016: T580 with odin, but both aren't being recognized by my Windows 10 computer. They do charge but don't seem to recognize my computer either. However my computer does recognize my Galaxy s5 neo and my Galaxy A5 2017. I've searched a lot and tried everything i found.
Which involves:
Different computers, ports, cables; and I consistantly get te same error.
Original cable
manualy install drivers, removing all usb drivers and reboot computer.
factory reset
Enabling developer options, usb debugging and usb configuration is set to Media Transfer Protocol.
I switched off selective usb interruption in my computers power management and dissabled quick boot.
Are there other things I could try, to make the computer recognize my S7 edge or Tab 2016. The only thing I could find, is that the ports of the devices itself are broken. Since both devices behave and charge normally I doubt this really is the case.
Since my main goal is to get one of the two rooted, maybe someone knows a way to do this without the use of a usb connection. I geuss one-click root methods don't work on these devices and I wasn't able to find something trough micro sd or a wireless option.
Thank you in advance

Hi there, installation of samsung usb drivers is easy. Please remove existing installation files on pc and install from provided link while the device connected to the pc during install and good internet. You should have no problem. I've done it on several machines

Thanks for your response. I've already tried that several times. Just to be totaly sure i've tried it again with the link you've provided and sadly it didn't work. The thing is that the samsung a5 2017 and the samsung s5 neo, do connect. But the samsung s7 edge doesn't. Not even on a different computer, with Win 7. Just now I did a factory reset, again. And also tried to boot in safe mode. But it just doesn't work. Do you have other idea's?

It's not your computer obviously. Maybe the cable port on the s7e is broken or something. Or the drivers aren't getting properly installed on the machine. The com port used by odin doesn't require drivers to be installed separately for each device. So if other devices get recognized by Odin, it clearly means that your s7e requires some hardware replacement. You may try connecting another device of the same model
I have the same problem before. My s7 doesnt work fast charge and pc dont recognize and my phone charging 6 hours. Windows gives yellow error and doesnt recognize my phone. I try different cable and pc but doesnt work. I change my motherboard and it works

Windows 10 PC wont recognize Samsung Galaxy S8 after TWRP wipe

I recently installed TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy S8 and wiped everything off of the phone, I now can't connect it to my PC to use ODIN and reinstall the stock ROM for the phone. I have the correct drivers installed and have tried using both Smart Switch and the downloadable driver exe.
Things I have tried:
Three different computers
Different USB ports and types
Different USB cables for the phone
Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
Installing different custom ROMS onto the phone
When I connect my phone I just get the Windows could not recognize this device error and everything I can find online just tells me to enable USB Debugging and installing the latest Samsung Drivers which I have tried. My phone doesn't even recognize that I am plugging it into a computer.
I have looked at other threads on this forum but I don't think they match the exact issue I am having with the device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't figure out why this would be happening and I doubt its a coincidence that the charging port got damaged right after I wiped the phone.
