[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 - Driver issues W7

I have a Samsung galaxy s3 which is just about 2 weeks old, stock rom and not modded in any way, i have been able to connect it to pc and it would be fine and work, the past 2 - 3 days whichever pc i plug it into mine or another pc windows will say that the usb device is not recognized and does not install the driver i also cant access it in any way (from usb).
i need help with this i have no answers on Google and i need to access my phone to get music and stuff on it but we need to figure out why mtp or camera mode or usb debugging all do not work.
Thanks.

Run the trouble shooting guide in KIES to re-install the drivers . Also, use KIES AIR, that only needs WiFi and you can access files and folders via your pc browser. Hope that helps

Yup that to. BUT, often on the Samsmug site the software version available is one version behind behind that available via online updates Kies.

Tried that
Hi, I have already done all of the above more than 3 times ive removed the drivers, kies and re installed and my computer will always just keep saying usb device not recognized with code 42.

This is what microsoft have to say:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42)
Recommended resolution
A duplicate device was detected. This error occurs when a bus driver incorrectly creates two identically named sub-processes (known as a bus driver error), or when a device with a serial number is discovered in a new location before it is removed from the old location. You may be able to resolve this problem by restarting your computer.
Restart your computer
Click Start, click Shut Down, and then select Restart in the Shut Down Windows dialog box to restart the computer."
I have to go out just now. I'll take a looky see when I get back.

error 43
oh im sorry its not error code 42 but 43
windows detectded problems with this device....

Do you have a Linux OS under the hand? It would give you a lot more information than Windows does... If you dont have but want to try, you can download the disc image from ubuntu.com or any other distro like linux mint or fedora etc.
Just to get information on your phone you dont have to install it, just starting on the liveCD, plugin the phone in and running comands like dmesg, lsusb and maybe hwinfo would be able to tell you what is happening with your phone.

This is why I suggest you to try to plug it in a linux machine and run those commands, there is obviously a problem with your device and Linux could help you to define what it is since it gives more information on the hardware.
If you are unfamiliar with dmesg output you can create a pastebin and link it here I will try to help with it. The output of lsusb may provide interesting info too. (as hwinfo but I don't think it is available by default in Xubuntu)

well i will try if i can but it will be in a day or two as im packed to the top with assignments

Also I did not mention that but you can access your phone via the wifi network starting an ssh or ftp server on it, the one I use is connect bot from the market. This way you can manage you music and files over the network.

yes i have done it using kies air that works. i will try the ubuntu method as soon as i can. thanks for all your help so far everyone.

Can you confirm that your usb ports on the PC is working with other devices. Its starting to look like a faulty phone. Have you tried a different usb cable, or can you check the current one with another device. We need to exclude all other factors before we conclude it is a faulty phone.

error 43
other devices work yes.

OK, looks like a croaked phone. Last ditch effort. If you go over to the forums at http://www.sevenforums.com/ have a good search for that error 43 code, there might be an answer that I've missed. We could also have a good look at the windows error logs, but I don't hold much hope as you have proven the PC hardware works, and you have checked and cross checked the drivers. All the error logs will show is an expanded view of the error.
I would consider returning the device with a view to a new replacement. Sorry. :-(

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Got the same issue on 3 different W7 pc's. Got my sgs3 like 3 days. first day USB connection worked just fine but now there's no way of connection it to pc with USB. offcourse you can connect with WIFI but with USB link is much faster

I had the same problem and could not figure out why...here is the deal:
Prior to SGS3, I had the old Samsung Galaxy S/Vibrant and was using the USB cable which came with it...then I thought; maybe the USB cable in the box of GS3 is different or superior...i tried it and VOILA! it worked...so that is all I had to do...all these reboots and re-installing drivers was just a waste of time...PS> I am running Win 7 64bit

USB ERROR
I still cant connect with 3 different cables, i am going to do a factory data reset and tell you all how i go in about 15 minutes...

ADB Does Not See TF700

I cannot for the life of me get ADB to recognize my new TF700. I've tried using the naked drivers, along with the ones Windows installs by default.
Android SDK is up to date.
I've searched every thread high and low and cannot figure this out.
I didn't have nearly this much trouble with my TF101.
I'm at my wits end, so any help is appreciated.
TF700 is new out of the box, with Android 4.1.1

USB debugging is ticked in settings right.
Look in windows device manager see if it shows as USB mass storage device.
If not remove usb from the PC then plug into a different port on the PC.
Also sometimes the sync software from Asus will force Windows to recognize the tablet.
Is there a micro card in the tablet?
If so unplug the tab remove the card after unmounting then plug the tab back into the usb and see if it shows up.

USB Debugging is checked.
Device manager shows "ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T" and "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface"
I'm about to try the Asus Sync trick.
No MicroSD card is in the tablet. Should I try putting one in?
EDIT:
No difference with MicroSD card
No difference after installing ASUS Sync

Yes try the microSD card...
Can you uninstall the Composite ADB Interface and reboot the PC then connect the tab again?
Edit:
Are you on a Windows 7 desktop?
Just in case drivers for Asus tabs
ADB

ADB and fastboot wouldn't pick up mine, either, but I got it working by using another USB port on my box. Even using a simple extension cable meant that I'd lose connectivity, so make sure you plug it in directly, too.

Uninstalled Composite ADB Interface, rebooted, connected tab and used the drivers you provided.
Still no luck.
Yes, Windows 7 64-bit desktop.

I've tried multiple USB ports, even 3.0 ports, all with no avail. No extensions or hubs being used, plugging directing into motherboard.
EDIT:
Again, it's on Android 4.1.1, is this the issue?
Build Number is 10.4.4.23
EDIT 2:
Downgraded to Android 4.0.3, Build 9.4.5.30
Was able to root using kangaroot on my MacBook Pro
Still no luck with Windows 7 though

Windows can be stubborn as far as this.
Asus PC Suite may be able to overwrite the problem driver.
Glad to see the MAC came thru though :good:

A700 USB problem

Hello.
I've got A700 and I'm trying to root it but I've got a problem. I tried it with every key combination (power, volume up & down) I found on the internet but they don't work.
I also tried it when using the USB port but my PC and my laptop won't recognise the tablet. I've downloaded the drivers from Acer but when I install them my PC asks to install NET frameworks 2.0.5727. This version is no longer available but Frameworks 3 also worked according to Microsoft. After this installation the drivers from Acer still don't want to install. Then I tried it with Android USB driver but the same problem keeps coming back.
When I plug the tablet on my PC and look in the windows device manager there is a yellow triangle on the USB port with an error code 43. I've got the same problem and errors on my laptop. They both work on Windows 8.1. The tablet doesn't appear in the device list on my pc .
Could it be that the problem is on my tablet's USB? There is no problem when charging.
Does anyone have a similar problem or maybe a solution?

Well, Win8 can sometimes give issues. I might suggest 2 things,
1) Try a different USB port. Typically devices come with USB 3 and USB 2 ports. If you have a standalone PC (desktop) don't use the USB port in the front. Try it from the back port.
2) Try manually installing the drivers. In device manager, select "install from disk" and manually select the driver (even if windows won't guarantee compatibility)
As with .net, just install the newest.
If the above don't work, well, try somebody's Win7 pc.
One more thing, when you install the drivers, make sure you "right mouse click" and install as administrator.

[Q] how to install motto g drivers onto pc with no internet access

I have an older pc with no internet access that I want to root my moto g on. I plugged the phone in and the pc pooped up stuff saying it needed top install drivers. I couldn't get the phone to show up as a usb drive to get the drivers I had dled on the phone onto the pc. How can I get the drivers from the phone to the pc without the drivers being already installed? Can I dl an app that turns the phone into a generic usb drive or what? I was thinking of getting an usb otg and flash drive and copying the files to that then plugging into pc but I would hope for a free alternative if possible. I'm pretty broke. Also does anyone have any tips or advice on how to root/unlock broader of motto g x1034? I have the wind mobile Canadian version.
I'm using a windows xp pc with no internet.
So how do I get drivers onto pc with no internet

Have you tried connecting the phone in mass storage mode?
Now, to responds your answers in order:
So how do I get drivers onto pc with no interne
A: when you plug your phone it asks you the mode, instead of MTP switch to USB Mass Storage in the notification bar or in Settings>Storing (?)>USB Connection>USB Mass Storage.
How do I root xt1034 moto g
A: Look here ithe Q8.
What's the best/fastest rom to run on this phone
A: Look here. Sorry.
Where do I read to learn how to develop my own room?
It depends, first you need to own a room, is not enough to have a room with your name on it, you need to OWN it, make it a extension of you, decorate it with pictures of YOU... owning things with your picture on it, very empowering thing, right there. Then you develope it with good taste and decorations.
If you took a picture of it and want to develope it, you can do that in a red light or a very dark room.
You can join in a architect or a design school to start developing rooms, not only your own.
If you are referring to a ROM, you need a little background in programming and compiling source code, preferably in linux. If you'd like to experiment the basics, you can try to compile Cyanogenmod,following the guide in the wiki.
What's a modified recovery? Can that help me root my phone without pc?
a modified recovery is a recovery that's been altered from its original form.
nothing can help you to root your phone without a pc, adb and the drivers.
for a better understanding of what is a recovery, a custom recovery or other strange, make-up words and technobabble, read this.
Also, depending on the method used, you don't need to touch the recovery for rooting. But the easiest (according to me) is
see here.

Cannot connect OPO to PC

Hi there!
I used to be able to connect my OPO to my W7 PC. Now I cannot. My OPO original cable is out of service so I have been using a samsung charger and it has worked fine before. Plug in, popup shows, and I can access MTP files. I am aware charge is default and when connect you have to select MTP. But now it isn't even charging.
Ever since I updated to Lineage Marshmallow, I cannot do it. I was able to do it on my work laptop (W10) but on my home PC (W7), cannot anymore. So not sure what I am missing. The same cable is used for both.
-Have Root with usb debug on
-google universal driver installed
-pic of device manager below but cannot browse my phone to install (not recognized)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Install mtp drivers(http://www.driverscape.com/download/android-mtp) and update the unknown device with those drivers.
You should always use original cable btw.
