[Q] PC won't recognice my Wildfire.

My PC won't find my Wildfire. The problem I have is that it recognices my phone as a "unknown usb device" and I won't be able to transfer stuff between the SD-card and the PC (very annoying as I can't really move music).
I'm running Cyanogen Mod (the stable released 12th of december but had this problem for a while now). It's rooted with unrevoked and the HBOOT usb drivers won't work (reinstalled vista on my pc).
So what should I do?

When you plug your wildfire in, up in the top left hand corner(on the notification bar) you should see two little icons pop-up, One will be telling you that you have connected your phone to a power source and it is now charging, the other allows you to turn on usb file transfer.
Drag down you notification bar and click the one that says something like "file transfer" and it should open a new window... there should be a button at the bottom of the page which allows you to toggle the file transferring on and off, remember to turn it off before you take your phone out, or it will bug the next time and you'll have to reboot your phone and your pc to get it working
Hope this helps,
note* if this doesn't work there is a driver you can download which might make it recognise it, but I believe the above solution should work for you!
Edit:
If you still can't find it i'll upload a screenshot when I get home

try installing the hboot drivers again.
that solved it for me when my phone wouldn't be recognised, funny thing was it stopped recognising after i was charging my auntie's ipod. LOL

I would reinstall the drivers but it doesn't show up as a "Android Device" (or what it's called) in device manager.
I don't even have HBOOT USB as an option on the bootscreen. (with the USB plugged in)
UPDATE: Installed and uninstalled HTC Sync to get the drivers. Still an unknown usb device on which I can't install the special HBOOT drivers and still no HBOOT USB on boot screen even when plugged in.

If your phone is rooted, HTC sync could be your problem.

Had the same problem.
This is how I solved it, from the HTC support page:
Tips 1:
If you cannot see the HTC Sync option when you connect your phone to the computer via USB, please follow the
Instructions below:
1. Make sure you select USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development before connecting your phone to the computer
2. Connect you Phone to the PC and wait 20 seconds for your phone to install HTC Sync on your phone.
3. Unplug the USB sync cable. Wait for 5 seconds. Reconnect the Phone to the PC using the USB cable.
4. Select “HTC sync” and wait for HTC Sync to recognize your Phone. This process could take up to a minute your first
time connecting to the computer.

Or just install pdanet on both computer and phone, it will automatically install the drivers too. After that you can easily uninstall pdanet from both computer and phone, the drivers will stay installed.

hello, I had the same problem, cm since I upgraded to, I can not sync my windows with wildfire, and I found an alternative way to synchronize your PC and the wildfire MyPhoneExplorer excellent! really good!

I'm having the same problem, I can't access my Wildfire through my PC.
My PC recognizes the device but I can't access the SD-Card as it says 'Please insert a disk'. It's just charging, no option to establish a connection to the disk drive.
I tried several things, including the USB-debug mode which didn't work out. With MyPhoneExplorer I have a connection to my phone (can see calls, messages and memory status) but when I want to view the files on my SD-Card it pops up an error message saying "OBEX protocol couldn't be initalized! Phone didn't answer'.
Please help me how to connect my Wildfire again!

Cannot Connect to PC AARGH!

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!

help in galaxy tab p1010

i recently upgraded my firmware via Kies to 2.3.6. i was all good but a problem has occured. I connected my tablet to pc via USB but there was no notification that it is USB connected. I cant access my tablet files here in my pc, cant select mass storage or samsung kies, im pretty sure that the usb cable is not a problem because the battery icon in the notification part becomes battery with thunder symbol. please help, thanks

Try this:
-Try reboot your tab, or
-Reinstall Kies on your PC, or
-Search on the configurations>conections>usb

You can always access via WiFi browse and download upload ad well, backup with drop box your images automatically add well.
But sounds like driver issues ad well so what Sam said is best uninstall and reinstall that or plug USB into different v port

Try driver update, if it doesn't work, go for re-installing...

Did you try to change the USB settings? i.e. touch and drag the notification bar down and select "Transfer files (MTP)"?

Did you try to change your USB Connection setting from 'Charging' to 'File Transfer'?
Also, if in case you're using a cable other than the provided USB-C data cable, are you sure that it's a data cable and not just a charging cable?

I already tried usb debugging on, with file transfer/charging and debugging off with file transfer/charging. and I'm currently using original usb c. I always get this error saying that my device must be updated first (see attachment) , but I already at latest miui. I even formatted my windows lol, still no luck. But I still can transfer file between my pc and phone using windows explorer.
