I am trying to test my android application on a samsung s2 phone with android version 4.0.3, I downloaded the usb driver from the official website, but the program does not detect the phone, returning a message telling me that samsung mobile mtp device failed
any help please?
Hi I have followed the Exact steps from Link : http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/559858-samsung-mobile-mtp-device-cannot-installed.html
Here are steps : (for Windows specific instructions):
Ensure phone is not connected to PC.
Uninstall KIES from PC. Reboot your PC and Reinstall KIES after that. Just for great measure... open KIES, go to Tools | Troubleshoot connection error. Follow instructions and wait for it to finish the troubleshooting procedure.
Reboot your phone (or turn off and then on your phone again). Do not connect it to your PC just yet.
Once rebooted, go to your phone's dialer, type *#7284# - A configuration window will appear. In that window's USB section, if it's default to PDA, tap MODEM, then back to PDA, (if it is MODEM in the beginning, change it to PDA) then press the back key to exit. Most importantly, it must set as PDA when you exit.
Turn off USB debugging in your phone.
(Optional) Set your phone's screen timeout to a lengthy time. (minimum 1-2 minutes - recommended 5mins to 30mins) its found in Settings | Display. You can change this back later on.
Connect the phone to your PC with USB cable and let windows load your drivers... and wait for the drivers to get reinstalled.
Once reinstalled, disconnect the phone off USB. Switch USB debugging back on in your phone settings, and reconnect the phone back - you'll see windows load another set of drivers for your phone. Wait until it is completed. (This step is a precautionative measure to ensure your phone is identified with all the necessary drivers)
Once complete, unplug your phone, and turn off USB debugging... This is to ensure MTP will initialize. Also, press the phone's home key until your homescreen is displayed. Only after doing all that, reconnect your phone back to PC.
Test and see if MTP works using Windows Explorer. You'll see your phone's USB storage and SDCard contents if it does.
This definitely helped me after 2 days of googling..... Hope it will help others too....
I had to use a slightly different procedure with my SCH-S738C Samsung phone. Here are the steps I took to get the phone communicating with Windows XP:
Ensure phone is not connected to PC.
Uninstall KIES from PC. Reboot your PC and Reinstall KIES after that. Just for great
measure... open KIES, go to Tools | Troubleshoot connection error. Follow instructions
and wait for it to finish the troubleshooting procedure.
On your SCH-S738C Samsung phone type into google search: [root SCH-S738C]. This will
bring up the following web address:
http://forums.droidbeans.com/tutorials/(how-to)(root-micromax-qualcomm-phones-without-pc)/?action=thankyoupostlist;msg=813
then navigate to this address.
On your SCH-S738C Samsung phone select the poot.apk from the spot on the page that
reads: Download poot.apk.
Follow the rest of the instructions on the web page, which are:
1) Download and Install poot.apk
2) Now open the poot app then it will require you to install Ministro II, Simply
follow the link to Google play store.
3) Then you will be required to update ministro library, please update it.
4) Once you updated the Ministro Library then you will be faced with two options;
1. “Press here to Poot”
2. “Built in root check”
5) Click on the first option which is “Press here to Poot” and after a while,
You are going to face with three options.
1. Get Superuser
2. Get root-checker
3. In-built rootchecker
When you see these options it simply means your phone has been rooted
successfully. Then click get Superuser to complete the process..
6) And finally do a reboot to take effect :P
7) Congrats you have rooted your phone now
Ensure Samsung Kies is running on your Windows XP machine.
Connect the phone to your PC with USB cable and let windows load your drivers...
and wait for the drivers to get reinstalled.
I was now able to stop Samsung Kies and just use Windows XP File Manager to load and copy files to and from the SCH-738C Samsung phone.
I had similar problem with Samsung devices when I installed fresh Windows XP. I figured out that I cannot install "SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device Driver" over Windows update site so I:
Download drivers from
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/ScopedViewRedirect.aspx?updateid=523dde6f-6efb-47ac-9aac-8f53732e45c9
Connect device to the PC
When Windows notifies about new HW I installed drivers from downloaded package (for USB, MTP etc)
adb works fine but still device was not visible over MTP so I installed Windows Media Plaery 11 over Windows Update
That solved the problem. WMP 11 is required for the MTP mode. Otherwise Samsung Kies would be helpful.
Go to Samsung Kies software, on top left of the window, click the menu > Driver recovery.
Let it reinstall drivers
After driver installation finished, go to your phone, Settings> Application > Development, tick USB debugging mode.
Under USB debugging mode connect your phone to the PC with USB.
It installs correctly!
Disconnect from PC
Untick USB debugging mode
Connect again

I was trying to install some custom recovery and ROM on to my phone when I got to this situation.
(I have my windows update turned off)
ADB or fastboot shows
<waiting for devices>
I tried and saw few solutions.
I'm writing a detailed solution to this.
this was how I solved it.
if you have more suggestions you can answer below.
the only reason for this is that your PC is not recognizing Phone.which is a driver problem.
You have to understand a few things before starting with the solution.
you may know this too.
when you are in your recovery adb gets into something like recovery mode(just framing some terms myself)
in bootloader, it takes fastload mode.
each of this mode needs different drivers other than what the driver you use with adb when your phone is running on OS.
so what you have to do is.
if you are trying to get into recovery mode or fastload mode.
open device manager(settings>devices>(more options)Device manager).
now boot the phone into the required mode using manual or adb method.
the device manager reloads and a new driver will be shown. either in Android or pointing device or others folder.
select the driver and update online.(always preferred).
if you don't find an online driver you have to select manual update here.
select browse my computer.
select let me pick.
select browse.
at last, you have to select the usb-driver provided by the google.
in
sdk>extras>google>usb-driver
it will show the updatable driver.select and press next to install.
press ok now it should work correctly.
Happened to MACOS Mojave 10.14.6 while trying to install twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img.
Solved it by running:
adb reboot-bootloader
Then, when the phone boot into bootloader,
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img
worked like a charm
Run following command to get your device into FastBoot mode (from adb-driver folder if using Windows System)
adb reboot-fastboot
For me, I couldn't even see my Android device in Windows 10 Device Manager until I went into Settings/General/Developer options and set Select USB Configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) instead of the default Charging Only, and also found a different USB cable that wasn't a charging-only one. Then, as #sushanthkille indicated above, I still had to install an updated driver, but the way he describes via Device Manager didn't work. For my LG G4, I had to go to https://www.lg.com/us/lgeai/Drivers/pages/mobile-drivers.html (found via googling for windows 10 LG G4 drivers) download the Windows driver, and install it manually. After all that, my G4 finally showed up in Windows 10.
For me it was not turning on usb debugging.
(settings -> developer options(you should activate this if you don't see this option) -> usb debugging.)
I had to update Windows 10 to resolve this issue.
I believe the needed update was a driver update for Android Bootloader Interface from Google, Inc. Windows updated several things at once so I can't verify that is what specifically solved the problem for me.
Usually it's the drivers' issue on Windows!
Just install the appropriate OEM driver from here:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb#Drivers
I've just spent a lot of time with the same problem, and it turns out to be because I have a Samsung phone.
There are a log of Fastboot blogs out there but what they don't always mention is, Samsung devices have no fastboot mode. So if yours is a Samsung device, don't waste time on any of the drivers and settings, because it will not work on Samsung. You can use adb but not fastboot.
There's another post with more info here: https://android.stackexchange.com/a/187573/111755.
Easy way
download the Google USB Driver from the official website (https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb)
Turn off your device and connect with your PC or laptop with a USB plugging
go to the device manager, You will see Other devices. There you will see the Android option. Right-click on it and press on update driver, then click on Brouse my computer for driver S/W. then Let me pick from the list and continue with All devices and next. Then browse again and select the file from the folder you have downloaded and click on install. and restart
I know this question has been asked numerous times, but none of the threads have had an answer to solve my problem. It seems no matter what i try Eclipse just wont detect my phone, I have set it to debug mode in the settings, i've installed "Kies 3" on my laptop and it says i have the latest drivers already installed on my phone when i try to update it.
I've installed the google USB driver package from the sdk manager and have downloaded and installed the samsung driver from the samsung website. Windows recognizes the device and in the device manager under android phone it appears as "SAMSUNG android ADB Inerface".
Im running windows 7 and have even tried deleting all the mounted dive drivers from regedit as i seen suggested in another thread but still no joy! Really starting to get frustrated with this at this stage i've been trying for two days now to figure this out!
This is such a pain! I need to be able to debug on my phone too as i'm using features that the emulator can't handle (i.e. audio recording). I'm all out of ideas here so any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks
The method I followed to install my GT-I9300 drivers was this:
Download samsung drivers from this link:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
Then just connect your phone and make sure you have a stable Internet connection: It will download required drivers automatically.
Also, make sure you have enabled Android developer options in your phone settings. Enable USB debugging in developer options.
I usually get it to work, when I switch the USB mode in my smartphone (e.g. MTP to PTP). This way, windows starts downloading more drivers.
1) Try disconnecting device from PC, revoke USB Debug authorization from settings menu, and then re-authorize the computer you are working on once you connect it again.
2) Check to see if you see the phone in DDMS perspective (left hand side) - if so, try clicking on it and it should work.
3) try removing all drivers (Google, Samsung etc.) + scan "leftover" registery entries using a reg cleaning program. Then install ONLY Kies Light version and try again.
4) It once worked for me - try changing the USB cable (preferably, to an original one)
Let us know if something worked!
1) enable USB debugging in your phone's settings.
2) ensure that you have the proper drivers installed.
3) open adb in command prompt and run "adb connect"
I've tried everything, when I run 'adb devices' on my new HP Envy Windows 8 laptop I get a blank 'list of devices attached'. I've reinstalled the USB driver for the phone (Samsung Galaxy s3), I've set it to developer settings. The only clue as to what is wrong is when I performed troubleshooting on the hardware and devices control panel it said I have USB 3.0 ports and a USB 2.0 device. Though I read that the ports would be backwards compatible. Any ideas?
2014-April: I agree this is an issue with Windows 8 / 8.1 and this approach was only successful by happenstance.
On my Win8.1 system, even with Samsung's official driver installed (see link below), my SGH-I727 Galaxy SII Skyrocket would not connect over USB - neither with MTP nor PTP enabled on the device under Settings > Storage > [press menu] > USB Computer Connection.
I ended up doing the following, while the phone was untethered, and after installing the Samsung driver:
Open an elevated CMD prompt, if logged in as a non-admin
Type: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=yes [press enter]
Launch DEVMGMT.MSC
Clicked VIEW > enabled SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES
Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers
Right-click uninstall all entities that appeared in gray [gray = not present]
Expand System Devices and repeat removal of non-present devices.
[NO REBOOT WAS REQUIRED at this point]
Plugged the phone into a standard USB port - still unresolved
Plugged the phone into a USB 3.0 port - device was recognized and installed itself
There is now an entry under Universal Serial Bus controllers named "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device". The driver tab for that entity is dated 02-Jan-2014 with version 2.11.7.0 from "SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd." Note this version is different than the one downloaded directly from Samsung (see link below) which is 1.5.14.0.
There are now also two new entries under Portable Devices: "MTP USB Device" which is presently gray despite the device being currently connected, and "SAMSUNG-SGH-I727".
Windows Explorer now shows a device named "SAMSUNG-SGH-I727" and, when opened, shows both "Internal Storage" as well as "SD Card" directories.
ALSO NOTE that the phone has to REMAIN UNLOCKED, in order for Windows Explorer to provide access to the aforementioned directories. Most smartphones will block access to these directories, when the phone's interface is locked due to your security preferences. In other words, ensure you swipe or enter your passcode and remain seeing your phone's main screen, while trying to view its directories via tether.
Samsung Driver [version 1.5.14.0]:
www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I727MSAATT
Are you mounting the device as a camera?
In other words, head over to Settings > Storage > "Usb computer connection" (via the ActionBar) > Camera (PTP).
Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed. Power off your phone. Power on the phone in Download mode. (Volume Down + Home + Power) Press Volume Up to continue. Once it's in Download mode, plug it into your computer. Windows should now discover it and load the driver. Once this is complete, unplug the phone from the computer, and pull the battery out of the phone to get out of Download mode. Replace the battery, and power on the phone like normal. It should connect to the computer properly.

the problems will be related to the driver i face problems like this with my android device connecting to my pc
I had a similar problem (samsung note 3, hp win 8.1). When plugged in, the phone would constantly connect and disconnect. I tried 3 things - delete the whole driver from device manager (did nothing), swap from USB 2.0 port to usb 3.0 port (may have been part of getting it working) and changing one drive settings.
One drive has a setting to sync data across all devices. It appears that windows trying to grab sensitive data from the phone was causing it to reset the connection. When I turned that off I got a stable basic connection.
I may be the only one, but I am creeped out that MS takes every opportunity to behave as spyware.
Good luck, I hope that helps

Hope it will help you..
First download the driver from:
Samsung driver...
Then if you face a problem.. update your question...
I had the same problem, so I did an abbreviated version of Swapnil's instructions and it worked...
I unhooked my device, reinstalled Kies, rebooted my device and unchecked usb debugging. Then I reconnected it and it successfully installed the drivers. At that point I rechecked USB debugging and now everything is working as expected!
Please Try this.
goto Settings --> Developer Options --> USB Debugging and check it .
It should probably work..
I'm about to start writing some Android applications, I have downloaded Jave/Android and Eclipse.
I have a test Android tablet (Viewsonic Viewpad 10s) which I will be running the software on.
I was hoping to be able to just plug the Android device straight into my PC to allow me to debug/run applications on the tablet.
I have purchased a male->male USB cable and plugged it into both devices, but nothing happens, it doesn't even come up with an 'unknown device' in the 'devices' window. Is there something else I need to be doing to get Windows to recognise this device? (I'm running Windows 7 (64bit)).
Alternatively, is this the best way to be running/debugging on the tablet? I was thinking that there might be a network debugging application, as both devices are on the network?
I'm totally new to Android, so might be missing something obvious. Although I have set the 'USB Debugging' within the 'Development' menu.
Thanks in advance.

It's a Windows problem, Windows isn't capable of recognize your tablet on its own, you need to install the appropriate USB drivers for your device in order to use your tablet when it is connected to your PC.
Under a GNU/linux distribution like Ubuntu everything is much more easier and you can just plug in your device without installing anything, you just have to set the right permissions for the device once.
Unplug the device from your machine
Install the driver for your device : http://www.viewsonic.com/support/downloads/drivers/_download/tablet/viewpad10s/ViewPad_10s_USB_driver.zip
Plug your device in
look at the device for a notificaiton saying debugging enabled.
If you dont, you will need to open Device Manager, find the listing that your computer thinks the device is and right click and uninstall it. Then unplug and replug.
