Hi all i am new to this site and hopefully somebody can help. I got a galaxy s3 and every time i try connect to my pc the mtp driver fails to load. I have tried 3 different pc's both on vista and windows 7. I also tried kies and i won't recognize the phoen either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
same here
i am experiencing the same problem. i have even reinstalled windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) to try to remedy the problem. still not working. the only programs added to win7 at this point are kies, firefox and chrome
i also tried to connect to a linux mint 12 box and i get the message that it can't find the program required on the computer to open.
it is really frustrating. i am going to try the google found method of unplugging my phone (which i plug in with the provided cable from samsung), and then:
1. removing kies (again)
2. removing drivers (again)
3. rebooting
4. installing kies
5. reinstalling drivers
6. connect phone in USB debug mode (there is no longer a kies option in s3) and let it install the other drivers.
7. unplug phone and turn off usb debugging
8. reconnect phone and hope for the best.
i will advise on how this goes.
blah
well, still stuck. tried the above method twice, and still no progress. i have tried many different ports, and have completely removed all usb devices except for the galaxy s3. i have tried both the 100mA ports and the 500mA ports. neither one will install the SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device.
i am now at my wits end, as i have a laptop with vista and am receiving the same message.
i am sooo frustrated at this point. i guess i will have to use the Kies Air until i can get this working, which really makes it difficult, as that is not my main pc with all my music/videos on it.
i wonder if there is an app that might connect rather than relying on samsung mtp?
I have just talked to tmobile and it is a know issue with this phone, they are working on an update to the phones software and told me it should be available shortly. Hope this helps
samsung s3 and mtp issues
Same here have spent 2 days and tried everything to then find this thread, why don't Samsung recognize the problem. I am with vodafone so hope they react quickly.
workaround
i bought a micro adapter and am just switching out my external sd's. it's a pain, but at least i have mah music and vids.
Problem solved!!!!!!!! After many tries i removed the sim card from the phone and tried connecting the phonewith out the sim card and found everything worked normal, all the drivers loaded and the pc recognized my phone. So went to tmobile got a new sim card and now everything works great. So if you are having this issue try connecting without the sim card and if it connects normal then you know what the problem is. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!
Solved another way
Had the same problem with my Verizon S3. Tried the usual uninstall/reinstall with no luck, then got on the Samsung tech support chat site with "Nadia". Here is what we did (and it took some trial and error). Turned on debugging mode, drivers automatically tried to reinstall and failed again, then I switched the USB port (from one that supports faster charging to one that supports USB 3.0), the drivers reinstalled again, and it worked. Here is the chat transcript:
info: Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
info: You are now chatting with 'Nadia'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
info: Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK56401322851X
Nadia: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: I have tried to install the device software on my Windows 7 PC to support the Verizon Galaxy S3. I keep getting "SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device Failed" errors. I have uninstalled the drivers and software, rebooted, and reinstalled three times with the same result. This is a Win 7 64 bit machine. Any ideas?
Nadia: I understand that you have an issue downloading a software on the device. Is that correct?
Visitor: No. I have the software. The problem is that it will not install on my computer properly. As a result, my PC cannot see the phone when it is connected to the USB port.
Nadia: Thank you for correcting me.
Nadia: Are you referring to SCH-I535?
Visitor: yes
Nadia: Thank you.
Nadia: May I know if the USB debugging mode is ON on the phone?
Nadia: Please check mark USB Debugging option under Applications >> Settings >> Applications >> Development on the device.
Visitor: no it is not
Nadia: Please check mark the USB debugging mode and try.
Visitor: I have turned it on. Is that what you want?
Nadia: Yes.
Visitor: The PC now is trying to re-install the drivers
Nadia: Let me know if the drivers are reinstalled succesfully.
Visitor: The USB composite device, mobile usb modem and ADB interface were successful. The Mobile MTP Device failed
Nadia: Please right click on MY Computer>>Select Properties>>Hardware>>Device Manager>>Click on Samsung USB drivers and click on Update.
Visitor: Windows says it is up to date.but the device status is "the device cannot start (code 10)"
Nadia: Okay. Please perfrom the below step while the debugging option is on and try to connect.
Nadia: Please follow the steps mentioned below to perform a soft reset on your Phone.
1. Turn off the handset.
2. Remove the battery and wait for 30 seconds.
3. Reinsert the battery and turn ON the device.
Visitor: ok
Nadia: Please perform the above steps and let me know the status.
Visitor: Just removed the battery I have short fingernails and it is difficult to get the back cover off.
Nadia: I am sorry to hear that.
Visitor: just restarted it
Nadia: Okay.
Visitor: shall I reconnect it now?
Nadia: Yes. Please connect it and let me know the status.
Visitor: It's trying to reinstall the MTP driver.
Nadia: May I know if the installation is successful?
Visitor: Computer is still thinking
Visitor: Failed. Windows says the device cannot start
Nadia: May I know if you are using the USB cable which came along with the device?
Visitor: yes
Nadia: Okay.
Nadia: Please give me a moment while I go through the inquiry.
Visitor: ok
Nadia: Please try to connect to another USB port of the PC and check?
Visitor: ok
Nadia: Thank you.
Visitor: That worked!
congrats! did you have your sd card installed or out when this worked?
Well I had many conversations with Brian in the Kies support team for Samsung, end result - don't know how to fix this, will add you to an ever growing list of people who are unable to get this to work, we will contact you once we think we have a fix. So if you are running XP SP3 and you can't get mtp to load I am afraid you are knackered.......
I hope someone finds a fix or samsung sends an update out soon...This is driving me crazy...
i tried to get it to sync with a couple of linux boxes as well, to no avail...
Success! Well, here is how I got it to FINALLY install the MTP driver.
Navigated to:
Settings >>> Data and Backup >>> Factory Data Reset
When it asked me to set up my google account i chose "Not Now"
After also cancelling the dropbox creation/signin, I then plugged the phone in and...
Boom!
Driver installed successfully.
Now to enter my google account info and see if the driver can start...
So, this method works. after the driver installed successfully, I set up google, as well as all of my other previously downloaded applications. Connecting the phone now works, the driver has no issues.
btw, I am running win7 64 bit (ultimate) and now am happily transferring files the easy way!
Just waiting for my 64GB micro card to arrive, then life will be back to normal...
Thanks to XDA for all of the tips I received!:victory:

Installed first time on a windows 7 machine, no changing anything - installed the driver straight away and kies runs. So my problem is linked to xp.
Possible Fix...
I finally managed to get my MTP problem fixed for my galaxy s3.
First I plugged my phone to my PC and when my USB notification popped up on the top of my phone screen. Pull down your notifications and you will see "Connected as a media device Touch for other USB options" I did this and selected "Camera (PTP)" I then reconnected to the PC.
This allowed me to acces my phone and SD card in explorer but did not connect to Kies. So change back to MTP mode (media)
I then went into Device Manager and right clicked on MTP Device that had a yellow ! mark next to it, and went to properties > Driver tab > Uninstall.
!!***NOTE When you select uninstall make sure you select the tick box underneath which says something like " also delete the driver software" ****!!
Once uninstalled, open Kies which should be 'waiting' for you to plug in your device, do so now with unistalled drivers and it should find the device and ask you to upgrade your firmware straight away, do so and start syncing away
**NOTE: I did a factory reset on my phone before this, so if the above does not work for you, factory reset your phone and repeat the above steps***
If this starts to work please let me and other people know, so we can spread the word, because this is becoming a common problem.

I finally have my S3 working perfectly now. It's all due to the above post, most importantly this line "When it asked me to set up my google account i chose "Not Now"." I had been trying everything I could find, on just about every site I could find. So, I came here to run through everyone's ideas. That was the key for me. I did the factory reset again...This time after boot, I said no, skip and later to everything. Plugged in the data cord and to my surprise within seconds it was done. I looked in C: There was a new section called "Portable Devices" with a folder containing the two storage areas -- card -- phone -- I've since put in all my info. ran in de-bugging and switched back -n- forth between MTP and PTP .... So far so good....I hope this helps add to the mystery, and I was not to talkative...thnx Div

Galaxy S3 + W7 Ultimate x64
Before I've tried to reboot phone,PC but not worked....after battery remove....worked...
Working
Awesome guys thanks. Got a friends working doing a combo of mentioned fixes...
WHAT DID NOT WORK:
1. Uninstalling Windows Drivers
2. Virtualised a Win 7 x32 bit as there was mention this was a 64 bit problem (I am using Win 7 Pro x64)
3. Changed the USB Connection Settings via the Notification pull down
4. Restarting phone
5. With and without SIM
6. Different USB Port
WHAT WORKED:
On Windows 7 Pro x64:
1. Uninstalled MTP Device Driver in windows with "uninstall driver" checked
On Phone:
2. Factory Reset Device
3. On first boot: Skip Samsung Account Setup
4. On first boot: Skip Google Account Setup
5. On first boot: Basically skipped everything to get to Home Screen
6. Plugged in phone, connected immediately in File Manager and Kies
This all seems to kick the phone into action and it worked on all computers that it previously did not (It worked on nothing previously)
We setup all the accounts, installed all the apps and it the phone still connects to the computer.
Samsung, wicked phone, but this is not good!
Thanks again to all. Good luck.
what fixed for me

Hello guys!
I've got a bit of a problem here, because now my mobile refuses to connect with activesync and therefore making it impossible to flash it.
I read the readme in the cid bypass folder, and didn't quite understand it, but as keen as I was on getting a new rom I did it all wrong.
I actually copied the cid bypass folder to my sd-card and ran haret.exe from the phone. A friendly penguin appeared along with some green text, and it rebooted and went black. I waited for a while, but had no patience so I rebooted it again. But after this it has been impossible to connect it with activesync! I've tried hard reset and different computers but nothing works!
I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me!
best regards
Try this.
turn your phone off and press the camera button in then plug it into the USB port
you should get a multi color screen. If you do then you can flash.
But go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330909
Go to where it says EDIT and follow what it says.
Oh and when a dos box opens up and ask you things just press the return key each time.
good luck
hey man, I tried reflashing the original rom to my vox, with the manualstyle sd card flash. So now it's flashed with the original rom, but still activesync doesn't work! anybody have an idea on how to make this right?
somebody tried running haret.exe from their phone, then flashing the Uspl with ruu flasher and then flash the new cooked rom?
My phone is not able to connect for flashing while in black state (after running harET), is it stupid of me to reboot it and start it by holding camera button while plugging it in to the computer? and then flash it with the ruu?
somebody please help me?
go into settings then connections then more till you see USB to PC
in there un-tick the box which says enable advaned network.

I am confused..is it working or not? one post you say it is but you cant sink..then you say its not.????
and dont use the flash off the mem stick..use windows..
ok, sorry for making confusing posts! I'm just excited about getting it to work.
So here's the situation:
From stock phone used with exchange (turned off the exchange part before doing anything)
1. I ran haret.exe from my phone, and it rebooted into a "black state" after which I rebooted it again
2. I tried to connect it to my computer using activesync, to be able to flash, but it wouldn't connect. Activesync doesn't respond to my phone.
3. I flashed the shipped rom to my phone from my sd-card in good hope that it would reset the whole process, but it still won't connect to activesync.
So here's my problem; I want to flash a cooked rom to my phone, but I'm unable to connect it to my computer via activesync, what to do?

Turn off your phone then keep the camera button pressed in at the same time plug it into the usb port
your should show diff colors on the screen..if so follow what it says in this link.

and do it from the pc not your mobile...
it's restored, but no activesync still
Is the cable you are using ok? or is it a new one you just got.
does windows see it when you plug it in? if so un-install active sync then reinstall it.
I'm having the same issue with Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM, activesync simply doesn't work ;/

Have you been into settings and un-ticked the box in USB to PC?
Also if you are trying to sync to office you must create a new partnership

I failed to mention that I've tried the hard reset as well, no luck.
I thought about the same thing Deuse, but there's no mobile device registered, so I'm not able to delete it.
It seems that you have tried every possible method! Anyway, my suggestion is install activesync in some other PC (friend's) and connect your phone there. See if it registers the phone. If it does then it is problem with the PC and not with phone. In that case, connect phone to PC and open controlpanel>System (icon)>Hardware tab>Device Manager Button in your PC. Unfold Network adapters and see if your phone is detected properly or it is detected with an "!" mark in "Unknown/Other device". If so, delete the device and disconnect phone. Reboot PC, reboot phone connect again and let the PC reinstall your device and see if it recognises your phone.
One more way (I think you might have tried this)- Uninstall Activesync and reinstall and connect phone.
By the way if your phone is not recognised in some other PC then it seems trouble with the phone.
Thanks.
Looks like your cable is faulty. Try activesync connection through bluetooth (for testing, ofcourse you cant flash from bt ).

Hey guys
I have installed the .net 4 framework and then I installed kies. I keep getting prompted by something called "teruten.com" it keeps asking for permission. If I click yes I get a "service initialli failed right after and the blue kies box stays there and then I get prompted by teruten.com again. If i press no, it just asks me again. Then it kies finally loads and when I connect my phone, I couldn't update it because I had it in mass storage mode. So I disconnected it and put it on kies mode and it didn't recognize the phone. Not even in my computer. Its weird, now I just noticed that my computer wont even recognize the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I kept getting the exact issue when trying to use Kies and finally gave up trying to figure it out. I had all the USB drivers installed correctly and verified but it just wouldn't work. Someone had posted about using Excel to modify the hosts file (if i remember correctly) but that didn't work for me either. I think the bottom line is it's a not for US app at this time. although some have managed to get it to work, it's a crap shoot.
Also when i attempted to get it to work it embedded itself into Outlook 2007. After unistalling Kies I would get an error (can't remember error) in Outlook everytime starting up. Finally had to uninstall and reinstall Outlook to clear that up.

Remove anything Samsung from your computer including drivers.
Download and install Mini Kies. It will reinstall drivers.
Connect phone and see if it's recognized.
STAY AWAY FROM KIES.
Samsung can't give us a phone that works properly and you want to use a software package that isn't designed to work with our phones. That is unless you are not in the US.
If you are trying to use kies to sync your outlook contacts and such you can use kies 1.5.310093_82. You can NOT use it for firmware updates. I used it to sync all my outlook contacts when I first got my captivate. You can find it on the forum. I had uploaded it and so did others. It will try and update to the newer version, don't let it or it will stop working for you.
Here is the download:

Help! Absolute newbie. Windows 7 computer won't recognize my phone when I plug in using stock USB cable. Rooted using Z4 root. Still has firmware 2.1 update 1. Having same problem with wife's unrooted phone. Only recognizes phone as composite USB device. Samsung driver installed, still doesn't work.
Make sure your phone is set to mass storage or ask on connection in Settings > USB settings (I'm assuming you want to transfer files to/from the SD card). If that's set, something should show up on your phone to let you transfer files to the computer when you connect it.
It is set for Ask on Connect
It is set for ask on connect. I am trying to update (upgrade?) to Froyo.
Oh ok. Sorry, it's been so long since I did that, I don't remember enough to be much help. If you can't get that to work, there's a thread on here somewhere with stock Froyo Odin files you can use.

Wife's stock phone worked
My wife's unrooted phone worked. Can't get either laptop to recognize my phone as a phone. Keeps coming up as "Composite USB device." When I try to use Samsung Drivers, I get error message 10, can not start drivers. Is there something I can change to have computer recognize it as the proper type of device?
if you want to do the official update you have to get samsung kies from uscc website, if unofficial you have to download odin, go to the first thread in mez android development it tells you all you need to upgrade.
They don't see my phone.
I have Kies Mini. It doesn't see my phone. Nor does SuperOneClick. And now I can't get Z4 to work either. Getting worse and worse.
Do you have USB debugging enabled on your phone? And you aren't Enabling Mass Storage correct?
Thanks
I am following the written instructions on the US Cellular website exactly. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support (Thanks to Holly in OK for her patience) but failed. She recommended either I wipe the phone, with no guarantee of success, or take it to a repair facility. Took it in. They know about the issues with Froyo on this phone and recommended I wait 2 or 3 weeks until Samsung comes out with an update to Froyo. Just for grins, I asked them to plug my phone into their computer to see if it would be recognized. No joy there either. They also recommended I wipe phone. I decided to wait until the update for Froyo comes in. No sense reinstalling everything twice. My wife, who's phone did update, was added to the service ticket so we will be notified "when the fix is in."

Are you using the cable that came with the phone? My buddy had that problem, he was using a old usb they had laying around and thought it would work because he uses it to charge?

I have tried both cables, one from my wife's phone and one from mine. Not sure what they used at USCC store. Thanks for input.
USB not working after 5/5/11 Heinz flash
Love the Heinz 57 ROM but I can't get drive recognized on PC. Fixes I've tried:
rebooted
reflashed ROM
tried different USB cables
tried different pc's
reinstalled Samsung drivers on PC
checked debugging
tried using Mass Storage option and ask on connection
unmounted sdcard
Now I'm at a loss
Thanks in advance!
fixed
rebooted pc seemed to have fixed the issue for now! Going to start playing with boot animations....
What works for me:
- turn Mass Storage on in USB settings
- then turn on USB debugging also
- go back to USB settings and change to ask on connection
- plug in phone, and select mass storage. Then scroll down notification bar and select copy files to/ from
It's a lot of back and forth, but is the only sure thing I've gotten to work. It also has to be redone in that order every time after turning it off.

I am coming from the Galaxy S Vibrant and so far I am not impressed by the whole rooting process for the Skyrocket. I have tried on 3 different windows computers and every time it says it is unable to recognize device. I installed the drivers but I don't believe they were installed correctly. When I click root in super one click, the application stops responding.
I made sure to select debugging and when I connect the phone to the computer nothing prompts me on the phone. Is there something I am missing in order to get the Skyrocket recognized by Windows?

You need to be patient. the program stopped responding for nearly 5 minutes for me before it started going again and my PC is lightning fast.
Try installing Samsung kies. Should give you all the drivers you need.
If your computer doesn't recognize the phone at all then you most likely dont have the drivers installed correctly or a USB hub driver issue in which case no USB devices would work. Like I said, try installing kies. Once you can get the PC to recognize the phone as a storage device, you should be good to run the root program.

i had somewhat the same problem , I rooted my old vibrant first incase i screwed something up , no big loss , it went smooth as butter , then I hooked the SR up and it took forever , 3 try I unplugged alot of my other usb devices , restarted the pc and tried , it hung for a few minutes and I left it alone , it eventually worked the last time. I also have a pretty solid pc , running win7 64bit , unplugging alot of my usb devices seemed to be the thing that really helped.
hope that helps ya

rooting this device is easier then posting that on the forum =)
1) If you are still 2.3.5 (and didn't do the OTA upgrade) -> use doomlord's script (DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su) or newer if there is one:
-if you did do the OTA upgrade - search the forum for another way to root.
2) install KIES (if its installed, continue to 3)
3) extract the DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip to anywhere (maybe c:\doom )
4) open a command prompt (run as administrator if your not running windows XP)
5) goto c:\doom\files\
6) type "adb devices"
- if it finds your device - just run the script , it will root your phone
- if it does NOT find your device, troubleshot kies (uninstall it, reboot, reinstall, disable anti virus/firewall, etc etc) because if it can't find the device then the problem is someplace on your computer.
good luck!
Hi all, I have been having a problem for the longest time now. My s6 refuses to connect to any pc. My first laptop had windows 7 on it and the s6 would successfully connect to it. That laptop is no more and i upgraded to a new one with win 10 installed on it. This laptop along with 2 others windows 7 completely refuses to connect to my phone. I think i have tried every "solution" but nothing works. My phone is rooted with a custom rom and the fast charge also refuses to work. I need to be able to connect to windows so i can reinstall the original firmware for a warranty exchange. Yes, i have all sumsung drivers installed, i have the original cable (and more), i tried smart switch, it still doesn't work. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Go to: Settings -> About Phone -> Tap on the build number 7 times to enable Developer Options -> Go to Developer Options and enable USB-Debugging
Now try connecting it to your PC

can someone please help me sort this out? I have tried numerous methods to get the phone to connect, all of which has been unsuccessful. Everyone knows the struggle of not being able to connect to windows.. thanks in advance.
The problem could be the USB port on the phone. Or the data / charging cable may be faulty.
Try download Shortcut master lite from playstore, run secret code explorer in it, then code 0808, and set AP and MTP+ADB to see phone as disk in windows, this helped me, hope it will help you.
