I've been trying to simply transfer some files between my Windows 7 computer and my S8 without success. Yes, I know all the steps, download the USB drivers, install them, connect the S8, tap transfer files on the icon that appears and go ahead. When I connect the S8 it immediately begins to charge the phone. When I tap on the icon it simply says that I can charge if faster if I connect to a USB3 port, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get into transfer files mode. I eventually copied the files to a USB stick and then from the USB stick to the S8 but surely it's possible to do this with a simple direct connection as it has been on all the other phones I've had. Anyone know how to do this simple task?

Thanks very much but when I do that and hit dial, I get "connection problem or invalid mmi code"
Ok. Guess the error message doesn't affect things. Now works. Thanks again very much, Njdan30.

On G950F Exynos version.
I get the same error message and have done all the usual but Win 7 will NOT connect me prioperly to allow file transfer.
I was offered an update (circa 200MB) and that didn't help it either.
Linux on the other hand does it just fine, but I'd like to get the Win version working. MTP driver always shows as not successful.
Any ideas?

Have you downloaded smart switch I think that includes drivers needed
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I thought the solution was absolutely stupid but it worked for me.
Try connecting the phone to a USB 2 Port at the back of your CPU.
It never worked for me as long as I used a USB 3 Port.

I installed Smart Switch to get the drivers but didn't go much further as had to head out. Just tried it now and SS doesn't connect - it recognuses there's a device but just sits on the 'Connect' dialog.
Finally...
Go to Settings>Connections and turn Phone visibility On.

Hi,
I want to copy a zip file to the N4's memory.
But the folder is not poping up (a pop'ed up menu should open up when the device is connceted to PC) ... even not the menu.
The driver's are installed and the PC recognized the N4 (screenshot).
USB debugging is ticked in settings.
What could be the reason for that and how it can be resolved?
Thank you!

Try unticking USB debug.

If u meant to Bootloader - yes, i did made the unlocking procedure (by some tool called - N-Cry).
Is there a way to know it's do unlocked for sure?
In device manager (pc) i have this under "Samsung android device":
Google Nexus ADB Interface

Thank's very much ... hope to hear from you guys asap.
i meant unlocked like u press the power bottom and put ur password not ur bootloader try disabling and enabling ur driver on ur laptop or pc and see if it will work
Edit: I cannot copy the ZIP files...guess bc's it connected as a camera.
So it still - did not resolved.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heyy...
Thank you for your solution.
I disabled and enabled it again.
Then, i chose it to be connected as "Camera (PTP)".
Fixed!
Thank you!
P.S: it's not wierd that the driver ("Google Nexus ADB Interface") located on device manager under "Samsung android device" ?
maybe it has the same driver as galaxy nexus :S no idea about these things so much
Yes it's weird, did you have also a Galaxy Nexus? But if now it works, don't mind
Sent from my Nexus 4 with Tapatalk 4
Maybe i should uninstall this Samsung driver?
Never had a Galaxy nexus at all.
It's working only in camera mode...can't copy files (zip) into the memory.
open notification bar and tap the usb connection option u shoud select media device (MTP) not camera.. i dont have any idea about the driver what it should have be but mine is like the pic i attached.

Anyone knows if the N4 driver is the "OEM USB Drivers" from Google or anything else?
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers if nothing is working, if you need the zip right now use AirDroid

After uninstalling this "nexus..." driver , i connected the n4 again ("media") and now it 99% o.k.
Why "99%?
Bc's finaly it show's "nexus 4" on the device manager - but with a yellow "?"
Except for that - it looks like it working...the SD folder is now popping up.
Hope it is not just a matter of luck and in about 2 day's when i'll need it again - it will start doing that again.
Oh. how can i fix this yellow "?"
Thank you all !!
there are plenty of these sh*ts on windows.. dont care so much

Now after a reset of the phone, device isn't recognized and the connected as media device doesn't show up anymore. Tried more than 1 computer.
Try uninstall the USB drivers from your PC. Or try other USB ports to detect your device. Sounds like your USB drivers has screwed up. Should not be your device problem.

Before start working on the hardware, I suggest to investigate the software side further. Have you make a factory reset? (Worst case). Try enable and disable the USB debugging mode as well. http://androidteen.com/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-mode-on-android-devices/
Try to toggle both media file mode and camera mode. See what is the response from your device to pc.

Don't connect to the internet and connect your phone with the drivers uninstalled. This will dl the stock window drivers instead of samsung drivers.

You uninstall the driver via "Device Manager" which u can get by right clicking "My computer" and click on Manage.
Then find the device manager tab and find your device on the list.

if not working send it to a repair center
There is no reason that odin won't recognise your device unless you have not installed the proper drivers. Search Web for Samsung adb drivers and install them.

Did it recognize the device in the past? Odin shouldn't be depended on Kernel/Rom, as long as you have the correct drivers.
Here is a good albeit slightly outdated guide (just use the up to date versions).

Okay, good to know ^^.
Did you shut down all KEIS processes before starting Odin?
Which version of Odin are you using?
I've problems when using a version > 3.09, so maybe "downgrade" and use an older version.
Another possible problem: defective cable. I've heard that Odin may be a bit picky even if the cables connects fine under windows.
I too have the same problem ..... I ve tried everythng ...bt it is not at all recognized ... Bt earlier.. I ve twice flashed using odin...

Uninstall/reinstall drivers/KIES.
Use Windows XP/7
If you have the possibility: Try the process in a VM.
U can connect usb in deffrent port
And u can Get latest version of keis on the pc /u might need to remove any usb drviers like said before
If win 8/8.1
Run installation on prems of Admins
And compatiblty of win 7
If win 7 just run as admin
Try to use odin v1.85 connect phone to pc w/o the battery, then insert the battery while holding the volume down and home key

I uninstalled Kies and drivers, re-installed Kies and drivers, and connect in different USB ports until it worked. I think the problem was to do with the drivers not being correctly installed (maybe the installation process was terminated before completion?)

When I connect my Z1 to my PC via USB, it does not mount as a drive. It doesn't matter if I choose mass storage or media device. ADB on or off also doens't matter.

Checked windows management if I had to assign a drive letter, but no Z1 there either...

Hello guys, I have a problem with my nexus 6p and windows 10.
I am using Toolkit to flash and back up my device. However, every time I restart my nexus 6p while it is plugged in with the USB-c my PC won't recognize it. So every time I restart my nexus I have to unplug then plug again for it to be recognized.

Using toolkits could be a headache, at some points. They are good, and ease out things, but I don't prefer using them.
Here, in your situation, it seems like a problem with drivers itself.
Okay, so do one thing. Connect your 6P to the PC, and while keeping it connected, go to Control Panel > Device Manager. Grab a screenshot, and share it here.

After I restart my nexus the device will charge but not show up in the device manager. Unless i unplug - plug again.
Okay, so the device here is using the regular Microsoft MTP drivers, I guess.
Do you have Android SDK installed? You can use the SDK manager to download Google USB drivers. Thereafter, update the USB drivers from Device Manager.

Wait. Once you connect the device, do you bring down the notification panel, and select MTP as the desired connection?
Actually, by default, the charging mode is enabled. You just need to switch it to MTP or other desired modes. Hope you know that?
