just tried tethering my nexus s to my work desk top to be "off grid" but i'm having issues.
I cant for the life of me tether the NS to the computer (running windows xp -32bit).
i was able to do this fine on the n1, but no go on the nexus. the computer just doesn't recognize it.
I've down loaded the tetherxp.inf file, but when point the setupwizard to it, it can't find it.
wth??????
then i start doing to research and read that the NS tethering isn't supported by window xp?? just win7, win vista and linux???
is this true???
what have you guys been experiencing?

arg. just did that.
didn't help. oi!!!
still getting the "the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software" pop up.
i'm giving up on this.
the tether function is "on" on the phone, but my comp doesn't recognize the connection in the network settings.
sucks as i'm trying this on a fresh XP os installed notebook. so i don't know what could be causing this... (yess all updates have been updated)...
slowz, you're able to tether with your NS to xp?

no problemo
This definitely isn't working with Windows XP.
This worked fine with my Nexus One. I had to install tetherxp.inf for it to work.
With the Nexus S, I removed all devices, uninstalled the drivers and started from scratch. No go with either the tetherxp.inf file or the RAR file posted earlier in this thread.
I can't find any other documentation on the Net that shows that Nexus S can tether with Windows XP.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
try this...
go to the PDAnet website http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php download their software onto your computer(free), then follow the directions on the screen. it will install the latest drivers onto your computer. i had to do that with my work computer too.
Well, I did that and now I just have a copy of PDSNet on my machine
I still can't get XP to recognize my Nexus S. When I plug it in I still get the New Hardware box that asks to find software for USB Device.
What I did was to add entries to tetherxp.inf for Nexus S which matched the signatures in device manager after I connected my phone to xp and turned on usb tether. I then installed the driver from tetherxp.inf.

you are on the latest service pack right?
Yep, I'm on XP Pro SP3.
For those of you who have had trouble with getting the drivers for the Infuse, download this:
[Im new so cant post a link, but goto softpedia.com and search kies. The only kies program available will appear, and download and install that]
It wont recognize your phone, but after you install the program, the appropriate drivers will be present, and the root with SuperOneClick will work immediately.
*remember, the program wont recognize your phone if its plugged in, but that doesn't matter. It will just install the appropriate Samsung_Android drivers your PC needs to recognize the phone in SuperOneClick.
Hope this helps!

Phone doesn't exist on my PC.
Nope. Bought the infuse on day one. Installed Kies 2.0.0.11044_11_3. Phone not recognized, installed drivers, learned the truth about Kies. Phone would not be recognized but at least installing Kies made the phone visible to the PC, so I knew I could root if I so desired, read up about rooting and thought I was ready. The phone had other plans.
Decided the other day that I was ready to root. Plugged in the phone but it no longer showed up in Windows. Something about the phones compatibility with my system changed. Tried to install this Kies 2.2.1.11053_99_3 yesterday, reinstalled drivers, activated USB debugging, plugged the phone in started up SuperOneClick and . . . still nothing happened. So I deactivated USB debugging and started over. Followed all the directions in the root posts and and SuperOneClick threads . . .
But somehow between day one and today my Windows 7 64 bit system does not know that the phone is plugged into it.
When I plug the phone into USB the phone asks me how I want to interact with the computer, Kies (Firmware Update); Media player: Mass storage. But the computer shows nothing. Device Manager doesn't list the phone, Windows Explorer doesn't show the phone, Devices and Printers window shows everything that's connected but NOT the phone, it's as if I plugged nothing into the computer. The phone is charging so I know that it's plugged in, but it doesn't seem to be communicating with the PC. I've re-booted, re-installed, reviewed, rewired and re-alized that I have no clue what happened. (Tried different cables, different USB ports different times of the day)
It worked once upon a time, I tried rolling back restore points and disabling my kaspersky 2011, I've followed all rooting instructions in these threads to no avail.
I am now ready to hurl my phone out into traffic to see if that will help, but before I do I'm hoping someone here may have the answer I need.
. . . please . . .
Try removing all instances of the Infuse coming in contact with your system using USBDeView. Also, how does it look in Disk Management? (Start button > search for "Computer Management" > Storage > Disk Management) Does the Infuse show up there as removable storage?
For me, one of the SuperOneClick packages included Windows drivers.
Which is great since SOC is the only reason I needed Windows drivers. (SOC never works in Linux for me for whatever reason...)

Well yeah - I've never had to install any drivers for ADB or anything else.
However, for whatever reason, superoneclick and Linux don't get along for me. So the only time I ever have to install drivers is when SOC rooting from Windows.

Tried it, didn't work, oh wait, didn't run USBDeView as administrator, re-tried and uninstalled all instances of Samsung i-997, then tried to plug the phone back in and still nothing.
Also not in Computer Management or Device manager either. Is there a way to uninstall any drivers that I have and then re-install them?

I've tried just about everything too, and nothing works to get my 64 bit Windows 7 PC to recognize the Infuse. Finally resorted to AndroidSync for file transfers, which worked fine, but it just makes me angry that I can't make the darn thing connect via USB.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I997ZKAATT
And select SOFTWARE
Tried that last week. Didn't work for me. The PC does see the device, but never finds any files on it.
Drivers in that link
I was having the same issue mentioned yesterday after loading the Samsung Infuse drivers, where my PC still couldn't see the data on my phone. (I'm also running 64-bit Windows 7 OS.)
Once I loaded the drivers and plugged in my phone, I got the happy little "device drivers installed properly" message and thought I was good to go. Nope. No drives mounted and visible in Explorer.
Under Devices and Printers, I could see SAMSUNG_Android with the unhappy yellow exclamation point. The troubleshooting report just says "Problems with PnP devices."
So I dug into into Device Manager. Under Portable Devices, there were 2 new WPD FileSystem Volume Drivers. Both had the same yellow exclamation points and showed a Device Status of "This device cannot start. (Code 10)."
It turns out Windows 7 wasn't assigning drive letters to the new Android volumes. It creates two disk drives (one with pictures, videos, and ringtones and the other with music, external SD, and media). If you right-click on the drives and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths," click Add, and assign it an unused drive mapping, it will then appear in Explorer.
Incidentally, the SAMSUNG_Android still shows up with its unhappy yellow exclamation point in Devices and Printers. So I imagine there's supposed to be a more user-friendly way that doesn't expose the true internal file structure when it's all working properly. But in the meantime, I can at least access my phone data via USB.

Right click Android. Click Update Driver Software
Manually locate the drivers and update.
I hope that works
if you can't find "android" maybe it's under USB, or something like that. it should be there.

Have you got a download link?
Hello!
I have a problem with Kies, I've searched around the site but couldn't an answer.
The thing is, I download Kies from the samsung site, and when I open the .exe, I see a green bar and after that it disappears and the installer never opens.
I have Windows XP x64 bit.
Thanks!
do you have a download manager?
It's possibly the download didn't complete properly or is corrupt in some way. I would download again using a download manager (downthemall) is a popular firefox add-on
Failing that try obtaining the installer from a different site, and/or possibly try a different version
Edit: windows XP x64 is a pretty bad version of windows to be on (its not really 64bit) I would suggest upgrading your operating system at some stage

I just installed downthemall and downloaded Kies again, but the same thing happened. The installer won't open.
I've already tried downloading the installer from a different site but the same thing happened.
I have no idea what's the issue here.
Yeah I was planning to update it to windows 7 but I don't know when, I don't like much the way it looks
There are a lot of program compatibility issues with windows xp 64, I would say install on any other machine and it will work
just because its 63 1/2 bit doesnt mean you needs another computer, as i have win xp (almost) (64BiT) as well and ,win 7 on my laptop and regular win xp 32.5 bit and none WORK WITH KIES! ITS SAMSUNG JUST FACE THE TRUTH AND DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A NEW OS JUST TO BE VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED, if their are any compatibility issues they are due to programs not being "MADE" compatible with it. besides i would rather be the one compatible with my computer then my apps

Has anyone found a solution?
Sorry for bringing this thread back to life, but I have a similar problem with KIES, only mine says that my pc is not connected to the internet!!!! OF course it doesn't take into account that I'm posting this as we speak.... Of all the problems an installation could face, internet connection is the one that messes with it?!
Does anyone have a solution?
i tried some months ago to install kies drivers and in my win7 64bit i don't have any problems
but i tried kies programs only first time, then i deleted it.
some days ago i get cyanogenmod to delete jellymod that have a lot of problems, also via usb ( i can't get files to my computer that appear a pop up of windows that says my devices is going off... too strange
anyway i nned to try now with cyano, if i have the same pop up, i guess is a usb cable, or another problem that i need to find and resolve...

Hey, and you checked the kies is compatible with windows xp 64 bit? With Windows 7 is definitely the xp but it is better to check.

Same for me.. Windows 7 here.
works fine on 8.1 here
Oddly enough, I have no issues on my Windows 8.1 Desktop but on my 8.1 laptop, it doesn't work at all. Both we're upgraded from 8.0, no fresh install. Both worked before. Obviously something more to it than just Windows 8.1
It shows "Google Nexus ADB Interface" even when I disabled USB Debugging.

Plug the Nexus 5 into your computer with the USB cable.
Open Device Manager.
Find "Android Device" near the top and expand the node. Double click on "Android Composite ADB Interface".
In the properties window that pops up, uninstall and delete the current driver.
Unplug your Nexus 5 and plug it back in.

Try putting your phone back to usb debug mode and then from device manager uninstall the Google Nexus ADB Interface. Then at the top under actions click scan for hardware changes and try to install the driver again when it finds the device. I know i had to do this on mine.

Thanks, it helped halfways. It can't find drivers for Nexus 5 and MTP.
EDIT: Deactivated USB-Debugging and it worked! Thanks!
I´m looking for mass storage mode.
All I was able to do was to get working ADB mode and MTP mode. Totally easy....but whatever I do....no mass storage mode?!
Where did you read that? Google suppressed the mass storage mode with jb, since 'internal sdcard' is merely a folder of data partition mounted as a virtual vfat disk through fuse.
I can't imagine they suppressed a feature from android filesystem setup to introduce it back on a single flagship device.
And even if I'm not dev, every dev questioned about this said it's impossible with this filesystem setup. It would be only possible with a separate partition, (like on my sgs3) with external sdcard for example.
i have an original 8.1 and an win8 upgraded to 8.1...
i cant install it on both machines
tried with usb debugging on and off. i can see the device, but i cant install it. only adb drivers. but i want to use USB storage (MTP)
kinda embarassing: good old windows xp, running on a 10+ year old laptop performs perfectly fine-.-
Thanks for the help.. got the ADB installed but when in debugg mode MTP comes up but wont install drivers for it.. when debug is off MTP doesnt sho in device manager.. i just want to get MTP working
