Whenever I connect my Triumph via USB to my Windows XP laptop, I get a 'Welcome to the Phone F USB driver setup wizard' with options to Repair or Remove the Phone F USB driver.
Regardless of which option I choose, this wizard continues to appear after I disconnect and reconnect my phone. It's pretty annoying
Can someone point me to the right set of drivers to fix this problem
I went to Motorola's website for the Triumph and downloaded something called motohelp and just installed that, but I don't think this is the right application/set of drivers
I do see Drive E installed File manager and an autorun file alongside Phone_F_USB_Driver_v1.1.7.msi and Setup.exe
I can delete all of this, but not sure if that is the best thing to do and if this Phone F driver is really even needed
I would really love to find a way to get rid of that popping up every time. It interferes with plugging it into anything USB to use as a storage device. My car stereo won't "see" my music because it only finds the fake CD-Rom image- since it's only looking for one and that's the first to pop up.
No one has this problem ?
temp fix edit autorun.ini and remove setup.exe;
or remove autorun.ini alltogether and remember that you just go to your e:\ drive to install drivers if hyou have to...
The same message pops up for me. I click on Repair, and its over in a flash, so no problem.
Same prob here.

You can just disable autorun for your computer.
The CDROM image is located in the /hidden directory of the phone. Its called custom.iso. I would back it up if you are going to delete it.

So I got my shiny new LG Incite at Best Buy yesterday. I knew I was getting it a while ago, so I downloaded a bunch of games and apps to load it up with as soon as possible. I get home from the store, play around with it and let it charge for a while, then I try to connect it to my computer (After installing ActiveSync 4.5 from the included disk, as well as both of the USB drivers on the disk). Windows comes up with that "found new hardware" stuff and asks where to look for the driver to install. I tell it to look on the CD, as well as the directories where the USB drivers from the disk were installed. It looks like it's working at first, but then I get this error:
(Error: "The data is invalid.")
Then it gives me the message balloon about how there was an error during installation and my new hardware may not work properly, etc. Now when I go to Device Manager, a number of things showed up with that little yellow exclamation point that I'm pretty sure were not there before, but I could be wrong:
- IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers: VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
- Network Adapters: Unknown device, WAN miniport (L2TP), WAN miniport (Network Monitor), and Windows Mobile-based Device
- Ports (COM & LPT): Communications Port (COM1)
So I tried reinstalling the drivers from a link I found in a thread on these boards (after clicking uninstall for "Windows Mobile-based Device" and having it tell me that the device is necessary to boot up the computer), but the same thing keeps happening. I also tried having ActiveSync scan for devices, but it never finds anything (Just says that USB is "available").
Please help, I really want to start putting pictures, music, and all that good stuff on my brand new phone
(btw, I'm pretty sure the problem is with the software/drivers on the computer, because when I plug in the USB cable the phone starts to charge. Other than that, nothing happens on the phone.)
If at all possible, I would try using the phone with another computer. For quite some time I was only able to sync data with my laptop and not my desktop, so I knew it was a software issue and not the phone itself.
would say it's down to
dead activesync install and no uninstalling it is not enough one have
to remove all traces of it in registry too
and it could also be an issue with usb drviers for the motherboard

Well, I'm not going to have another computer until September at least, so I really want to get it working on this computer, but I guess I could test it out on a friend's pc to see if my computer is the problem.

Know of any links or tutorials that would tell me all of the registry entries I'd have to remove?
(Sorry for the double post, but no one was replying...)
So I found my bluetooth adapter for my PC, and after I installed the proper software I could connect to my phone no problem. After that, I just used the bluetooth adapter's software to transfer files to my phone via FTP. (ActiveSync still just sat there, even when I set my phone to sync with bluetooth instead of USB, and I allowed wireless connections in ActiveSync)
So I'm glad I can finally transfer files, but I still want to get USB working. No one has any ideas at all?
(Triple post... sorry)
Ok, something happened to the bluetooth drivers and software now. I turned my computer off for the night after using bluetooth to transfer files to my phone, but when I turned on my pc today and clicked the shortcut to start the bluetooth software, I got a message saying that the program the shortcut was linking to no longer existed. Sure enough, the folder was gone from my Program Files directory. Now, every time I try to reinstall it, I get an error 183 that installation was interrupted.
So now I'm back to having no means of transferring files to my phone.
Please, any suggestions at all will be helpful to me at this point. I'm at my wits end!
Any progress on this?
I have a similar problem. I think usb sync worked on my laptop at one point, but hasn't for at least a week.
I was able to fix the problem at least temporarily by disconnecting the device, deleting it from ActiveSync and reconnecting. ActiveSync happily added it back and resynced everything. Now I can install the new Xcite ROM.
Still nothing...
Now my computer doesn't do anything at all when I plug my phone in, not even make a noise or ask about drivers. My phone, however, still recognizes that it's plugged in.
At least I got bluetooth working again, but still, USB would be nice.
It's hard to believe that out of every member on this forum, no one has even the slightest idea of where to start...
Menu - settings - connections - USB to PC.
Uncheck Enable advanced ...
OK TO ALL AND READY
So the problem I'm having with my infuse is that the disk drives (E:/F are not showing up in Windows Explorer. I've done some trial and error to diagnose the problem but I'm currently at a loss. Here's what I know:
The cable is fine, I just purchased to new cable to make sure that it wasn't the problem after I thought that the original cable was the issue.
The phone works perfectly fine on linux, I'm able to mount the two devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc) without problems and transfer files without any delay or trouble.
In windows the computer recognizes when the phone is plugged in and if you go into "Printers and Devices" you can see the "Samsung_Android" device. If you right click on it before you turn on USB storage on the device the context menu pops up and you can go into properties and see that all the functions are recognized for the phone, (two disk drives (it recognizes them as E and F), modem, two mtp devices, etc.)
Once you enable USB mass storage on the phone you can no longer right click on the device and see properties, if you do it takes a minute or two for the menu to pop up and clicking anything in the menu makes the lag unuseable.
Sometimes drive E: will show up in Explorer but not F: and when I click on it it still just stalls in loading the drive.
If I go into command line and type "e:" on windows to cd to that drive it also just stalls out rather than saying that the drive has not been found.
If I go into the disk manager to see if maybe it's just a drive name conflict in the management console it doesn't load because the manager just stalls out at "Connecting to Virtual Disk Manager Service"
I was originally having this problem on stock rooted FROYO, I was able to use Kies (through the same windows machine) and upgrade to stock GB but on GB I was still having the problem. Then I switched over to the stock rooted GB rom and I'm also still having the problem.
I'm pretty convinced the problem has to do with windows not my phone because I seem to have isolated it to just this windows install (I haven't had the opportunity to try on another windows machine but I figure it will probably work fine there) since it can't be due to the cable or a faulty Froyo/GB install.
Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this? I'll gladly provide anymore information regarding my problem if you think it will help.
Windows....sux dont it...
I would uninstall all phone drives....download new set...reinstall....and see what happens.
And like you said....i would try another windows pc....
How can I fix my problem of 'No USB connectivity' ?
My Samsung GS3 has stopped giving me the notification that I connected to my PC. It still charges, but I can't access my files. It's been happening for a few months. When I cable up, after a second, it chimes audibly (pong-ping), but the pitch fork icon for USB never shows, there is no notification, the PC never does anything. Drop box works, Wi-Fi works, NFC works, Phone works. Samsung model SCH-I535 running Android 4.1.1 on Verizon. I have not rooted, or ROM’ed but this may take me past that brink.
I've tried::
Numerous PCs and USB cables
USB debugging (& Stay awake & Unknown sources) checked and unchecked
Unmounted & remounted SD card
Asking the PC to look for new hardware
Removed and re-installed PC drivers both from Verizon
(Verizon_Wireless_I535_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe)
& from “Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit”
(SGS3_International_ToolKit_v6.0.exe)
:: but nothing has fixed it. :crying:
Please don’t tell me to use a Wi-Fi app, Kies, All Share Cast, or S Beam. I want my phone USB fixed.
Thanks;

What are you expecting to see when connected? The new Android o's doesn't mount the device as a drive letter - you have to access it via MTP. This means you won't see it as a drive. You need an MTP capable program to sync, or you can see the contents within the "portable device" entry.
Without proper, working MTP drivers, the phone may not show the connection. Under XP I had many issues getting the driver to work. I think other windows versions have similar issues. I had to force-load the drivers from the "eclipse" (I think) sub folder after extracting the files in the installer.

I fixed this by doing the following:
1. Reboot phone into download mode.
2. Plug phone into PC.
3. It should install some drivers at this point.
4. Remove phone from PC and remove battery to shut off phone.
5. Put battery back in and boot phone.
6. Plug phone into PC.
7. Profit??
Working, thanks!
schwinn8; I believe I had a different problem than what you were thinking; but thank you.

As I tried 'download' mode, it worked, sort of, like you said. My PC found new hardware and installed MTP and ADB drivers. My procedure went more like this:
1. Remove phone from PC and remove battery to shut off phone.
2. Plug USB cable into PC.
3. Plug USB cable (other end) into phone.
4. Put battery back in and boot phone but…
5. As the phone boots, hold down Volume up and down
6. This should reboot phone into download mode.
7. PC should install some drivers at this point.
Phone was in safe mode, but another reboot changed that.
Their must be some magic in that old silk hat you found. Opps, sorry, wrong song. :victory:

Hello, is there a way in which I could connect my phone to my PC without make the computer attempts to create a driver for it? In fact, when I connect my Note 2 to my PC, even though I don't have a Samsung driver for it, the computer always attempt to create one for it. However, it always fail to install. But I don;t know why it still shows the name (e.g. GT-N7100 with a icon of a media player next to it) of the device in computer and after you clicked it, it will show the card and the phone directory. I really dislike it because you cannot eject the device before disconnecting it and it really does a bad job of displaying the storage availability. Therefore, is there a way I could get rid of the "driver"? Thanks.

try going to my computerz properties>device manager and den uninstall the device drivers from dere... n after dat wen yu cnnct your device ... juzt ignore the drver installtion ..
I've had this problem before, but I have always been able to fix it by uninstalling ADB and drivers, through WUG's toolkit, changing cables, device manager/update drivers, jumping up and down while spinning and plugging cable in, among other things. However, this time is different and I'm not sure if it is because of M on my phone or the Windows 10 update. This problem has been going on for over a month now, and I've had both since it started. I've tried all the above mentioned things, along with everything else I can find, and none of them work.
The only way I can get my computer to recognize my phone to share files is to go into device manager every I plug it in is to; go to device manager, right click to update driver, select do it from my pc, select driver in folder. After doing this it works perfectly fine, but I have to do it every time I plug my phone in or every time my phone turns off while it's plugged in. The error message I get on my computer is "USB device not recognized" when I go into device manager it says "device descriptor request failed" It does this on both of my PCs. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

I think I'm getting something similar since I've installed "M"....
Under:
Settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration
It say's it's set to "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)"; it really isn't. When I plug the phone in, under Win 8.1, a desktop window opens with "AOSP on Hammerhead" (or something like that), but there's nothing in it. Now for some magic....
With the phone in one hand, and the mouse in the other:
1. Open Settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration
2. Touch "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)" (even if it's already selected)
3. Listen for the PC/Windows Desktop (it should give an audible sound)
4. Immediately click on the "AOSP on Hammerhead" text in the path listed on the open Windows widow ("This PC -> AOSP on Hammerhead")
5. You should see an "Internal Storage" folder appear
6. Open the folder, enjoy MTP
