[Solved] [Q] USBFlasher Mode not operative [drivers?]

My main issue is drivers. I ended up formating my computer with a fresh install of Win7 64-bit few weeks ago, but did this with android on my phone. So now I have a dilemma.
I cannot get drivers anywhere [online] that will let me go into any USB mode for either:
MAGLDR
or
Tr-Color Screen
So either with magldr it just sits there forever saying USB Wait...[never says usb]
And with tri-color screen it never says USB, if I try different USB ports it says Serial and never changes to anything else.
I think my problem is I need WM back, and sync it with WMDC. The problem to that? I cant even flash WM...
Anyone know of any other way to get the drivers for Win7 64? So I can use USB Flasher or tr-color screen.
Hope someone knows a solution...I have been looking for weeks to a resolution to this problem :-/
Thanks in advanced

Try reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center.

I tried that, I installed it and it installed a Microsoft Mobile device driver, but it still does not say USB on the flasher mode or on the tri-color screen...
Can anyone find out the name of the driver/device when they plug their phone in and it enables USB (under usb flasher or tri-color screen)? Maybe from there I can search better names for the right driver...

Any ideas? Just trying to see if anyone knows any solution to this...
Thanks

UPDATE:
Ok, so I had a minor cut in my cable, with only the shielding wire coming out a little bit. I luckly had another micro usb in house that I could try. Seems if there is the slightest problem with your cable, get it replaced. MY USB WORKS FINE NOW . Try new cables if you are having serious driver issues (tried it on 2 computers, thats when I said it has to be the cable.). Could be the simple thing.

s4 and PC connection

hello! i was searching through the internet and I can't seem to find a definite answer for this type of problem.
my galaxy s4 can't seem to have a stable connection with my PC. it works
so far what I've done
-plugged it directly to the motherboard usb port
-used samsung original cable
-install all USB drivers (installer, kies)
-uninstall, reinstalled drivers but no avail
-used different cables. ( the original cable doesnt seem to work. whenever i plug my device, it only charges. but there is no notificcation that tells me the phone and PC are connected to something) and then i used a motorola cable and the phone and PC seem to detect each other. but only in one of the motherboard ports.
and also, if ever the PC detects my phone, the "connect/disconnect" loop appears... the "connect/disconnect" loop DISAPPEARS when i plugged the phone to a specific port. BUT, it cant seem to have a stable connection. whenever i transfer a large file, lets say a movie. it copies the file half way then the phone suddenly disconnects then reconnects by itself automatically like nothing happened. I couldn't also flash firmwares cuz whenever odin tries to push the files into my phone, suddenly odin will stop and says "disconnected"..... by the way, my PC's usb ports are OK. it can detect and transfer large files from my brother's optimus G and my sister's motorola droid with no problem. I have used this PC for flashing my previous phones with no problem (SGS2, SGS3, SGS1, Gnex, NOTE2, SGmini, china tablets). Yes i do change phone frequently.
can someone please enlighten me on this..and oh! by the way, I tried flashing and transferring files from my gf's laptop and there seem to be no problem at all... I even used the original samsung cable which doesn't work on my PC at home. I would really like to flash my s4 with the latest 4.3 jellybean, and my gf is back in her home town for the sem break so I can't use her laptop for now cuz she has brought it with her..
I would really any comments and insights will be highly appreciated. thank you!

Your phone has a defective usb port, replace it if it has warranty

not really. because it works with my gf's laptop no problem. but thanks for your reply.,

please help

The hint's in your 2nd last post. There's obviously something PC-side going on; your PC - probably with the USB ports, if it works on your GF's PC. Think about it, that's logic. If it was phone-side, it wouldn't work with any PC.

Fix
First connect ur phone to the pc whit the original white cable
them in ur S4 prees the notification of the usb is connected
Enjoy
If u just connect the phone it will only charge. U have to touch the notification.

Can't Connect to any PCs

I've had my S4 for just about two years now, and have been looking into getting a new phone. I wanted to update it to 5.0 and back it up. My charging port went (yet again) so I bought a replacement and now it will charge like new. However, I cannot get it to connect to any PC and it won't show up in devices.
Things I have tried to remedy this:
-Unistalled/reinstalled newest drivers
-Uninstalled/reinstalled newest Kies
-Four different cables (all of which claim to be OEM, one IS OEM)
-Multiple USB ports on two PCs (Win 7, Win 10) and an iMac
-Checked all connections of new charging port
-Changed USB settings to MTP, MTP+ADB
As I said, I have run out of options. I can only get this thing to charge when connected to a computer, no data. It won't even show up under Device Manager or as a USB storage device.

Put ur phone in download mode then try connecting if ur PC didn't find ur phone it maybe the problem with ur phones USB port

that didn't work either. The charging port is brand new, and also a brand new cable. Any other suggestions?

Try flashing your device with the default rom

how would I do that? I can't connect it to PC to back it up or download a ROM

Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Hello guys,
after trying everything I could imagine and find on the net, I still didn't get my PC to recognize my S6 edge plus.
Hopefully someone od you has got some more ideas.
The Problem:
Connected Phone shows "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" in the device manager. No MTP connection and no ADB possible so far.
Done so far:
Samsung USB Mobile Drivers
Kies
Smart Switch (with reinstall of drivers)
6 different cables with 4 PCs (2 Win10, 1 Win7, 1 Linux)
USB-Debugging on / off
*#0808# switched through every mode
USB-Hub drivers
Factory Reset
More Info:
5 of the 6 cables are working just fine for data connection with my S3
There is no infobar tooltip to change USB mode at all, just telling me it's loading
In Download Mode the phone doesn't get recognized by Odin (with same cord and USB Port the S3 does)
In Stock Recovery Sideload Mode the Device does not show up in adb devices (with same cord and USB Port the S3 does)
Regards

up

I'm guessing you have downloaded and installed the Samsung drivers?

New Infos on this case:
Local tech support inspected the phone. They suspect the mainboard to be defective due to corrosion signs.
Of course the repair cost would be ridiculous.
I'm gonna repair it myself, but I'm not quite sure if it's really a faulty mainboard.
I rather think of changing the USB board first, because it's like a 10th of the mainboard and more likely to get wet if that's the reason for the damaged phone.
Any ideas??
Regards

You didn't mention if it charges via USB?

Im in the same situation..
charge via usb but is not able to recognize the phone in any computer (a lot of different cables with 3 PCs)
My unit was wet and i think that something is wrong for this reason.

Hi Cento50. Have You managed to get the phone to work? At first my phone was showing up in "This PC" on Win 10. but after trying Samsung usb drivers to get Odin3 working now it is the same as Yours. Shows in Device Manager as: Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). A strange Conundrum.

Hello @Photobil2012 yes fix habe worked!
One little wire have replaced 2ohm resistor.
And have fix fast charger and data comunication with PC!
We i have repaced first one diode.
Phone a this time work complete.
First this problem i have connected one hard disk to otg cable with phone battery low!
My suggestion Please caution to use otg interface with high current if have low battery in the phone.
This cause high current drain and possibile burn diode and resistor.

Hi Cento50,
Alright! Thank you very much for the most timely reply and tech info on the successful fix. This is very good news to receive. I just replaced the battery so it is brand new and that works fine now. However, if it is necessary I can apply the same type of fix that you applied. Great work, and thanks again for your help.

PC won't detect S7, all conventional fixes exhausted!!

I've got 5 S7s on my desk, all Canadian variant, all from the same manufacturer all the same model. - SM-G930W8
All are recognised by my PC but one and I can't work out why not!
Plugging the phone into the PC makes no noise from the PC but the phone seems to detect a regular charger not a PC.
I have plugged it in using different cables including the one in its box and the ones used on other devices that were recognised and only this phone doesn't work with any of them.
I have plugged in, unplugged and rebooted many times.
I have set the USB configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)/Transferring files.
USB Debugging is ON and OEM unlocking is ON.
I have tried booting into stock recovery and wiping cache AND factory resetting.
When phone is turned on "adb devices" returns nothing.
I have installed Samsung Kies and Samsung Smart Switch to reinstall the drivers.
NOTHING IS WORKING!
All threads I find tell me to do the things I have listed above and have people saying these have worked but all of them I had already tried and double tried and nothing is working.
The cables are correct and working with other S7s of the same model.
All the correct drivers are installed and have been uninstalled and reinstalled.
All the correct setting are selected and OEM unlock and USB debugging enabled.
Phone was fresh out the box as were the other four and all cables.
Samsungs apps installed on PC to ensure best drivers installed.
Would really appreciate some guidance or consolation that its not something stupid I'm doing! I work with these phones everyday and this has never happened! Just banging my head against a brick wall trying to resolve it

maybe faulty usb port, my nephew had S6 with the same issue, service replaced usb port and it started
to work with PC.
try download mode and see if odin see your phone.
try to move the cable a lil bit and see if sth appears for a second.

Thanks but unfortunately Odin doesn't recognise in download mode.
Could it be a USB port problem if I used the same port for the other 4 devices and have no issue?
I'm considering sending the phone back to manufacturer to be honest I think it may just be a faulty device or something!

I bet its microusb port fault

Had a similar issue on Windows 10 , if that's what your running let the phone be connected, uninstall the driver from device manager, and then install driver select have disk and select the basic mtp , if this doesn't help connect to Microsoft support and they'll guide you through it , worked for me , my phone used to detect on other laptops but mine , also I could connect other phones on mine but not my phone, hope this helps

same issue here
