Hi there.
My office PC has restrictions on installing USB Drivers. Is there any possible way to connect the phone to PC to read and write files. Earlier i had Nokia N8 which i could connect to PC using PC Suite mode and read/write to my memory card without any additional drivers (probably windows has those drives preloaded). Also Samsung galaxy S2 can be connected to my PC using Kies Sync to read write to memory card (without any additional drivers being installed). Is this possible with HTC Devices (not specifically chacha as none of the HTC device get recognized)
have you tried htc sync?

Yes HTC Sync detects and I am not suppose to install any personal softwares. I dont know how to explain my problem, those who have a S2 or any nokia device will understand better I ll click some images and share to make it more clear..
Both Kies and Ovi Suite install phone drivers. It's impossible to connect a phone without installing drivers, even if as mass-storage device.
Both Kies and Ovi install the drivers when you install the software and connect your phone for the first time. So if your the first one to have ever used N8 or Samsung on your PC then you have installed the drivers

Yes agreed alex. Drivers must be installed for being detected. But have you seen that the drivers for nokia and samsung are never downloaded from windows update or anywhere. The drivers are fetched from the device itself i guess (which shows "searching preconfigured folders" while installing). But incase of HTC devics, it fails..
there is a wireless app on play that allows you to transfer meda files back and forth, but again you ll need to install a wifi dongle via usb unless you are using a laptop
Just use Box. http://www.box.com/

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I do not know why, but active synch does not detect my Samsung i780. Even windows shows that a SGH-i780 is detected but nothing from the ActiveSyc side.
I installed Samsung USB driver and Active Syc 4.5, My windows is XP SP2 and all anti virus and firewalls are disabled.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
j
check active sync settings .
kindly try the following steps:
1. restart your phone
2. remove all usb devices (portable hdd, flash drives, etc.)
3. connect the cable first to your phone then to your pc.
if this doesnt work try reinstalling activesyc or check your cable.
i have experienced also this kind of of problem when usb devices are connected specially storage devices.
hope this one works
hallo
i had also the same problem..but now the problem is gone, try to uncheck the box in Connection---> USB to PC--> activation advandce networkfunktion. and then restart your pc and disconnect und reconnect your phone to your PC
hope it will work.
ps. sorry for my bad english
kindly install Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 to your pc if your phone still not detect or regonize by windows even already install samsung modem driver.it works for me.
This must have been covered before but search does not seem to be working for me here.
I want to access the mem card in my Fuze (stock ROM) on my work PC but it needs to load a driver for the new USB device it detects. I do NOT want to install ActiveSync on the machine, only the driver that will allow the USB connection to work in Disk Drive mode.
Anyone know what file and where I could find it would allow this connection to work?
Installing applications is prohibited by company policy and installing ActiveSync would be detected. Installing a USB driver would not be.
Anyone?

What OS are you using? Windows 2000 and definitely XP and Vista are plug and play. I'm using XP and the driver is here:
c:\Windows\system32\drivers\USBSTOR.SYS
If that driver isn't on your system, have you tried using the "Found New Hardware" wizard to connect to microsoft to automatically download the driver for you?

XP. The driver is not found by the wizard. I have had this on other systems before.
It is installed during the ActiveSync install. If you uninstall ActiveSync the driver is left behind and will still function but corporate policy has gotten strict on unapproved installs and traces are always left behind even after uninstall.
I will look on my home device for the file and see if I can move it to my work PC and get it working.
Thanks.
Hey guys, I have a galaxy 3 with CM7 (kyrillos release) and I'm having a problem when using the phone to transfer files...
When I connect it to any PC without Kies, windows start searching for drivers, but it doesn't find anything, so the phone isn't recognized, and I can't transfer files...
In my pc, with Kies installed, I connected the phone and windows started searching for drivers and found, installed them and it's working fine...
So, what could be done to connect the phone sucessfully in other PCs without Kies?
Thanks
just install kies , it contains some drivers for your sd so the pc can see the sd..otherwise you could use a card reader and connect you sd straight to your pc/laptop
or else got to this thread and download the driver directly
There is no way to get USB storage working without downloading any files?
So I would need to carry with me a pendrive with the driver?!
yes if you don't have internet connection. All usb devices need a driver...
but when I put a pendrive, windows find the driver... but, when I put the phone, windows does not find
there are a few thousand drivers preloaded in windows to increase support out of the box for many devices, it's impossible to include every driver though
i think pendrives use a generic driver anyways
reflash the phone
install adb drivers for samsung in your pc
connect your phone to pc
u can find a small driver pack from google with only 10+m
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
I think there is no way to conect the phone to pc using cable without installing the drivers. But there is an app that can help you on your purpose, it's the AirDroid, you can find it in the market. With this app you just need to conect to the same wireless network as the computer you want to transfer files, and you're able to transfer files using the internet browser, and others stuff like manage contacts, messages, ringtones, apps...
So I have an unrooted standard MT4GS phone and trying to start the rooting procedures, but my computer is not recognizing the phone in anyway other than in disk drive mode. When installed all of the fast boot drivers, standard drivers, HTC sync, rebooted both computer and device, it still is not recognized at all. I have usb debuggin on and i have tried all modes when connected to pc (tethering, disk drive (recognizes it as a removable disk), and charge only). Any ideas what I am doing fundamentally wrong? PS I have searched the forum multiple times for answers but to no avail. Thanks in advance.
I think I have a solution, but I'm not sure. I think you are missing the drivers for it. Google HTC Drivers and it should be the one that's named HTC Drivers 3.0.0.7 or something similiar.
Make sure USB debugging is turned on...

Try going into Control Panel ===>System===>Device Manager ===>USB Controlers & you should see a listing for a Mass Storage Device. If you'll right click on that & reinstall drivers it might get you going. I had to do that myself. It may not want to overwrite the installed ones so you might have to uninstall & REinstall.
You need to install HTC Sync, it will provide the drivers for Windows 7.. after it's installed you can just plug in the device and windows will find and install it. Then you have to close HTC Sync and continue.
Hi,
Have bought a clone Galaxy s4 i9500 phone. Korean Made
Can connect to pc as usb storage device but not as a phone.I am not able to see the operating system files via usb storage just ordinary files. The phone has not any app buttons just a few games preloaded. When connecting to the internet the Baidu page comes up (Chinese)
The phone has limited settings ie Phone settings, Display, Security, Call settings and Connections
Due to this I am unable to check phone components in order to load drivers to connect or to enable usb debugging mode.
Did reset phone and tried many drivers and connection managers.
Phone memory apparently 1.2M? Memory file use presently 884.01k/1.2M
The phone does not have a file manager.
When connecting to a pc the following settings come up, Charging, U Disk and PC Connecting. PC Connecting under under other devices show as Two Usb Devices when connected. I use xp sp3 on the pc.
Downloaded apk programs to pc then to sd card on phone but unable to open them.
The phone built is as below
Can anybody on the forum identify the phone by the pictures.
Thank you
my gfs has the same phone, the korean version, the correct usb driver is an HTC one... i don't know what i did, but windows auto update downloaded that for me and it worked!!! this is just a first step for me.... now i need to root it, and still not getting it .. and no much ppl can help :| anyway for the driver, i hope it works for you! cheers!
