Try disabling your virus protection while installing the drivers, then re-enable it after the drivers are installed.

Tried it - reinstalled the drivers and still nothing - it says windows recognize the device and under device manager it's listed as unknown device.
tried to go to update the driver manually(pointed it to the usb drivers folder that was created during the installation) and nothing...
Please help

Did you ever solve this issue? I am currently dealing with the same problem on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC.

I figured I'll format my computer sometime and it will solve the problem.
If you'll find a solution I'll be happy to know

Download Kies Mini from Samsung site. Kies will install the drivers for your phone.

Try This!!!
I still have the same issue, but first try this:
- Download a Live Ubuntu CD and restart with de cd... PLUG THE PHONE.
If recongnaise the phone the problem is windows, you can sleep well.
If not, hardware problem, too bad.
I recently formatted my PC AND WINDOWS WORK PERFECTLY WHEN I PLUG THE PHONE, NON DRIVERS WAS INSTALED. Now i start to install one by one drivers and programs and plug the phone to detect which make the mess.
I hope you understand me, as you see i not an english native person

Huawei ideos (u8150) drivers??

I've got a Huawei u8150 which I just rooted using z4root. Now I'm trying to put it into recovery mode using ultrajackrecovery but when I put it off then put it back on while holding the volume down and end key and connect it to my PC, it says Android 1.0 driver not found. PS. USB debugging is turned on. I need help in finding the right drivers and I'm using a windows 7 64bit pc. Thanks!

first of all install adb drivers...they are located at the cdrom partition of the device...when you connect it it should appear...then install those drivers...and boot into bootloader mode(redkey+vol down+power)....then manually install the android bootloader from the device manager...or intall pdanet on the computer and it will automatically install everything
i've done that and it was able to install some drivers when the phone was on. then i put it back off and tried restarting it using vol down and the end key but when it comes on, it still says android 1.0 driver not installed. and ultra jack recovery is also not recognizing it. i think it will after the android 1.0 driver has been installed but i cant find it.
manually install the driver!
right click computer,propeties,device manager..
look for android 1.0
double click it..
reinstall driver..
manually select driver..
look for android devices.
select android bootloader interface and install it.
it WILL work..
(i had the same problem)
THANKS MAN! IT WORKED!! now that im done with this, which rom would you suggest i install?? there's a lot all over and im confused about which one to go with.

You have to make sure you find APX under portable devices though it did not just pop up for me i had to search for it

[Q] LG USB Driver won't install successfully

Okay I have search XDA and LG AND google search for this problem and have not found any solution to what I'm going through. Here's a little background on my phone
T-Mobile G2x rooted with the ROM HellFire Phoenix V2.1
Before today I was able to mount my SD card to my computer with no problem seeing I've had the phone since it came out. Today my computer showed it was installing the drivers but gave me a message "device drive was not successfully installed...usb composite device failed. Now I have used different usb ports and different usb cables and my computer is STILL giving me the same message!
I have even uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them and still coming up with the same issue. I even restarted my computer after each and I keep coming to the same issue. Can someone please give me a solution to this frustrating problem? It would be greatly appreciated!
Same exact issue except on 2.2
I think you mean HFP, hfs is only up to 1.7

What about USB debugging is it checked? try the opposite of what it is with a reboot, also link where the drivers are being downloaded from.

Yeah I made sure USB debugging is indeed checked, and when you say try the opposite meaning what? uncheck debugging...reboot then check it again?
The drivers are being downloaded from the LG Mobile Support tool program that downloads and installs the latest drivers. Which can be found here http://www.lg.com/us/support/mobile-devices/phone-support
I even posted on the LG forum as well, got a response from an employee who told me basically what I had been doing, uninstalling , restart the computer, reinstall, restart again and then connect my device and STILL the same message. I have no idea why its doing this, its never done this before unless there was a new Windows update or something but there hasn't been. Oh and my Windows is Vista by the way in case anyone was wondering.
I used B2CAppSetup.exe From LG. I was having the exact same issue, this solved it. I uploaded it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?e2vnaw5a0ljljj4
EDIT: Vista or Seven - make sure you right-click the .exe and Run As Administrator.
I had the same issue with HFS so I just started taking the card out of my phone and putting it directly into the computer.
I had this issue a while back after re-installing the drivers. Plug the phone in and the little systray icon would tell me the usb composite device failed.
What worked was going to the device manager and installing drivers from there, but instead of browsing to the drivers as I tried many times the solution was letting Windows choose. It popped up with two choices the generic usb composite device and the LG phone. Picked the phone and I was good to go.
Hope this helps someone and if it does please hit the thanks button.

Thats the exact program I have been using and I still have the same issue, I'm thinking of just going back to another ROM since it seems to be an issue with HFP then I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue.
On the stock ROMs you had to set it for USB file sharing only and then actually enable file sharing once it's plugged in. I can't try anything but a stock ROM (running BB 3/2012) at the moment.
Not sure if HF is the same way.....
Antivirus
Once I had driver issues because of an overzealous Antivirus. Try uninstalling the drivers, restart, disable the antivirus, and reinstall.
I have a question for you guys, I tried restoring to a previous Hellfire ROM i backed up thinking that would work and it didn't.
So what happens if I can't get this to work? Without me being able to access my external/internal SD cards I can't load a new ROM or anything even if i wanted to unroot the phone and get another one from T-Mobile I can't or can I?
Is there any other way to restore back to factory settings without connecting to my PC? This is highly frustrating and i have NO idea why my phone and PC aren't working together like they did before in the past.
Did you run as administrator?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes i have done everything. Run as administrator, restarting my computer after every uninstall and re-install of the drivers, made sure USB debugging was checked, even restored a previous ROM i saved thru clockwork-mod and when i connect the phone through the USB to my computer i keep getting the USB composite device failed.
Nothing seems to work, so I'm thinking of just accepting that its not going to work and save up and get a new phone eventually which sucks cause since rooting the G2x I love it more than when it was stocked.

Sometimes switching cables help. Once i used a blackberry micro hdmi cable and had problems until i switched to a LG cable. Also running Win 7 in win xp mode helps.

Ok mshoney6, Here is your solution: (you can thank me later)
After much digging and searching, searching, searching I found this driver and I uploaded it for you. Get it HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?ahc3iklqmoa0gnc
First, go to your control panel > add/remove programs > and uninstall ANYTHING LG! This includes the Mobile Support Tool.
Second, make sure your phone and USB cable are not connected to your pc.
Now, right-click the file you downloaded above and "Run As Administrator".
DONE! Connect your phone to the PC and Viola!

Boot loop.... Need to restore

Ok so 3days ago I was flashing a new ROM and something went horribly wrong...lol. I'm NOT blaming the dev or anything like that.. Im in red CWM, I did do an Android back up, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache. The continued to flash the rom, that went good or so I though. Next I went to flash the gapps, so I mounted the system and flashed. I forgot to unmount after i got done and restated the phone. It comes up with SAMSUNG and stays.. I can still get into Recovery, But can't get to download mode the normal way(pull battery, hold vol keys, plug in USB,insert battery) I can however get there through the Advance menu in CWM.
SO HERES WHAT IVE DONE SO FAR WITH NO LUCK......
Tried odin in windows vista but drivers would not work
Fresh install of vista and keies ---NO
so next I partitioned about 25gb of my HDD and loaded Ubuntu 12.04 loaded up JDK,Wine, SDK, and Tried Heimdall one click.
Also have another computer with Fedora and that didnt work. (I'm NOT that good with linux so I may be doing something wrong(I also have team viewer IF someone can help that way)
I know that this can be fixed but I dont know what else to do. Ive searched these fourms and tips and trick and nothing has seemd to work. 6 different machines 4 different OS's and 3 different cables...
Any advice WILL GREATLY BE APPRECIATED Thank You

I did try the one click in vista/xp and was having trouble with the driver part.. windows would say "Unknown Device" but when I tried to load the drivers through the software i'd get failure to install driver. I'm Downloading a new one now just to be on the safe side.
Is there anything while In Ubuntu I can check as far as USB issues???

Odin not finding my phone in download mode?

I have a galaxy s2 4g i9210t. I had kies installed and Odin worked fine for all my other phones and read this phone fine when in recovery mode or normal mode, but when I boot it into download mode Odin doesn't detect it and I get an error say failed to Install Samsung USB Cdc device driver. So my first instinct was to reinstall kies, that failed so I tried just installing the drivers on their own, that also failed. I then tried it all on another computer, that failed. I've also tried 5 different cables all of which work for my other phones. Can anyone help?

First you have to manage to install drivers...
Until you can not install drivers successfully it will not detect your device..
Are you using window 7?
Because it automatically detects and installs drivers.
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

You need to get your phones USB system drivers installed or it is not going to find your phone no matter how many cables you use. You need to get the drivers that are there off and get a good clean install done. Find the right drivers "Samsung" windows for your flavor OS and install them on the computer. It should work fine then.
