Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V Drivers

I picked this phone up for $50.00 bucks yesterday Great deal I thought anyways Ive read and tried every driver on this site and cant get my PC to recognize the phone for nothing.Also I cant get it into download mode im sure im not getting the combo right on this.Can someone please post a link with the drivers you used and how you got yours into download mode?
Like i said ive read im not PC dumb its driving me insane here lol.
Im running windows 7 64 bit Im trying to root the phone and or try a custom rom.
The phone is :
Model SGH-T959V
Firmware Version 2.2.1
Baseband T959VUVKD1
Kernal 2.6.32.9
Build number FROYO.VUVKD1
Thanks in advanced for any help.

First, download Kies Mini to install the USB drivers
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...110715050425343/Kies_Mini_For_Galaxy_S_4G.exe
Download mode:
1) Remove your phone's battery and usb cable.
2) Plug in usb cable to computer
3) put battery back into phone
4) Hold vol + and - and keep holding both of them
5) Plug usb cable.

This is what i have tried.I did uninstall and did everything over.PC doesnt see the phone and when i try to get into download mode i hold both vol buttons down plug usb into phone and the phone just starts up.I must not be holding my tongue right lol.I have never had something like this whip me I dont get it.
It will charge on the pc but does nothing else.

Yes that would be an option but shouldnt the pc recognize the phone?

If your phone is rooted, download quickboot from the market. Install it and run it, pick "download". Should let you boot into download mode.

Guess Ill take a break I cant get anything to work.Going to try Super one click on a XP machine see what happen or see if it will recognize the phone.

I was going to suggest what FB last said. Get the Android SDK, install it, run the manager the first time, when prompted for what to download, only select the platform tools. Once done, open a command prompt, CD to C:\Program File (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\platofrm-tools (I think...I'm not on my PC) and type: adb reboot download

I know exactly zero about what yall are talking about but how do i ypass frp om galaxy s4

Sorry, this is not a forum for the Galaxy S4 from 2013. This forum is for the T959V, the Galaxy S 4G, which came out in 2011. Unfortunately Samsung made their names fairly confusing there...

USB not recognized + no Recovery

Hi All,
It has been a time that I unlocked my TF700t then followed the CM10 documentation to install 10.0 using CWM.
Recently I wanted to upgrade to 10.1 but it didn't work and ended with my tablet rebooting undefinitely.
I reverted then to install back the ASUS stock Rom from their website :
- I downloaded the file
- unzipped it (since it contains another zip)
- put it on a micro SD
- Booted into CWM
- installed the zip
I ended with a working tablet on the stock rom JB 4.1 but know I wanted to try again CM but I cannot access recovery anymore. I can access the bootloader but when I select RCK I get the droid laying on his back with the warning sign.
I thought I would need to flash another recovery (TWRP or other) using fastboot but now when I plug the tablet to my PC it keeps telling me that the device is not recognized. I tried to install the USB driver but it doesn't get detected.
Can anyone please help ? The tablet is working but I am afraid that it has lost some of its capabilities.
Thanks

Go to your system setting and select storage. Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and tick the box which is Media device (MTP).. Good luck..

I just tried that but it did not work, windows is still displaying USB device not recognized.

What Windows version are you running?
You may have to uninstall the drivers for your MTP device before installing new ones as well as disabling Windows to automatically install drivers for a new device, then manually point it to the Universal Naked Drivers folder.
Or downlaod Android SDK tool ad through it the Platform Tools and USB drivers.
BTW: When you flashed the stock firmware you lost your custom recovery. That's why you see the dead Droid - it's the stock recovery.
If you can't get fastboot to work you can use Motochopper to root your JB 4.1 stock firmware and then GooManager to install the latest TWRP recovery.

I have tested it on WinXP, Win7, Ubuntu and another box with Win XP. Always same thing the device is not recognized.
When I try to update the driver and point it manually to the naked drivers it cannot detect them.
I guess that even for running Motochopper I will need to get USB working to be able to root my device.
Any help please ? I am stuck with a sluggish stock mod that buries the perfs of my device.

Then it's a driver problem and it's solvable. What do you see in Device Manager under Portable Devices with your tablet connected? Did you uninstall the driver and re-install it?
Did you try to install Asus Sync (which should give you compatible drivers for the TF700)?
So many driver problems lately... there's got to be a pattern to it, but what it may be beats me :what:

In the Device Manager I have nothing under Portable Devices, but under USB devices it appears an Unrecognized USB Device and a bubble notifying about an unrecognized USB device keeps popping in the task bar. Even after installing ASUS Sync it is not detected.

You don't connect your tablet to the PC through the dock USB port, do you?? Just had that in another thread....
If you connect the tablet directly, I'm stumped. No idea why it's not recognized...

I don't have a dock and I am connecting directly with the cable. I have just reflashed it to stock rom again hoping it resolves itself but nothing.
It's driving me crazy. The stock rom is really sluggish and I want to flash it to CM

Sounds like a windows driver issue to me. You need to force windows to use the right usb drivers. You normally do this by upgrading thenm in device manager. You may have a borked windows installation to fix as well..
Try the ones I have attached.

I have tried different windows installations with the different drivers that you provided me, still nothing. It seems to me that the device is not even sending proper ids to the system. Can it be caused by a damaged cable ?

Had the same problem.I fixed it by uninstalling the faulty usb device. Then disconnected the usb cable. Reconnected. And the drivers installed.

Im having the same problem and after one day of research I could not find a solution. I bought a use TF700 with a standard andriod on it, no mod, not unlocked, no root. When I connect it to the pc I get the same error, meaning just a USB Device showing up. Tried different PC's with different types of OS, no success.
Did you manage to fix the problem ? I would really appreciate some help because now I can't use that tablet in debug mode to test my android applications and that's all I bought it for. By the way, is there a adb tool that works wireless and doesn't neet root access or can I get root access without connecting my pad to my pc ?
Thanks for the help !

Well did you install adb fastboot drivers on the PCs you tried? Did you try it under Linux? Do you have the original Asus cable you connect it with?
adb over network is an option under Developer Options in Omni and Omni based roms - at least the LP roms. I don't think you can get that with an app you install. Probably needs to be baked into the kernel.

First of all thanks a lot for your response, didn't think anyone would still react on that post because it's quite old. Yes I did install adb fastboot drivers, the device only shows up in the usb section saying usb device not recognized. I tried nearly every driver I found, installed the Andriod SDK, the Asus Sync Tool, the naked drivers... then removed them all (including the hidden ones) and installed just the adb fastboot -> no success. I have not tried it on linux, but on windows 7, 8 and 10. Android version is 4.2.1 and Build is 10.6.1.14.10. I now unlocked it using the apk provided by asus (version 7 , 8 did not work). Still for rooting I need pc connection, so I ordered a new cable today (cable is original Asus though).
I installed the Rom Manager and that tells me the ClockworkMod Recovery and TWRP are already installed. I also tried that recovery (power + vol) and got the same result as nacef meaning " I can access the bootloader but when I select RCK I get the droid laying on his back with the warning sign." Thing is, I don't know what the previews owner did, so it might be the reason he sold the Tablet. Can I get anywhere form that Bootloader ? Maybe boot as a Superuser and then use wireless adb to root the device ?
Thanks a lot for your help, Im feeling that I have wasted the money and the only way to get rid of that feeling is to fix the problem

Grab the Puppy Linux live CD from here: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/46090-guide-adb-fastboot-linux-live-cd.html
It has adb fastboot already installed. If you don't get a connection with that one the problem would be tablet side, not Windows related.

I booted using that Puppy Linux and followed the Guide but no success. After entering "adb devices" I get the output "list of adb devices attached" and than a blank space. So I tried booting in fastboot like you described in your guide and entered "fastboot devices" but that also gives me nothing. Fastboot works though (as it's already included in that image) so I tried a bunch of other fastboot commands but that just results in "waiting for the device".
I don't know what to do now, it has something to do with the tablet itself. Im waiting for the new cable but don't think thats gonna change anything.

You are not trying to do this through the dock port, right? You are connecting the tablet directly to the PC?
The only answer I have left is either a broken cable or one of the pins in the port is bent or broken. Get a magnifying glass and check them out.

One S CM 10.2 - ADB Device not found

Hello xda, it's me again (posting very much lately with my problems...)
I flashed the CM 10.2 ROM again on my One S and tried to get the ADB working, but it somehow doesn't work. I tried it on my 2 PCs, my laptop and the one that I'm normally using for Android...ish stuff, but both can not find my phone. "error: device not found" plops always up and I don't really know why, I mean, on both PC's I used the ADB with the One S before and I have all the drivers installed. I'm just really confused atm...
One S S4 variant - CM 10.2 Stable - TWRP 2.6.3.0 - CID: HTC_102

I had same problem but after I run SDK Manager.exe it was solved. Dunno why it happened.

Do you have USB debugging turned on in the developer settings?

Nah, nothing android'ish in the device manager, but the USB mass storage works just fine on both PC's. In the attachments is a screenshot of my device manager (don't wonder, it's in German, but no android stuff nowhere.) Just tried it yesterday with an standard HTC One S with the 4.1.1 HTC ROM and it's ADB works fine.

Okay, I found out what was the error! Under Settings -> Storage -> USB Computer Connection was mass storage activated, and for ADB you have to switch to MTP! Now my ADB works finally, yay!
Thank you all for your help, it was much appriciated! And many many thanks to Gabe Sechan from THIS site!

ADB does not work in recovery

It works when booted into the OS but in recovery ADB is not recognized.
What drivers are you all using ?

On my mac ADB would not work in the stock recovery but it would work in CWM and fastboot. Think it is a driver issue.

I cant get it work anywhere and now I cant get stock recovery to work!

OK.. got the stock recovery - I didnt actually know you had to do volume up when at the "no command" screen..
and also I figured out how to fix the driver issue...
For anyone else having the issue you need to uninstall the driver until it shows up as Shield with the exclamation. You must be in the recovery in an area like sideload.. (Not in android OS)
Then Update Driver, Browser and then click on "Let Me Pick from a list on my computer"... find Android then select "Android Composite ADB Interface".
Now the driver works in ADB and in the OS

Thank you so much for this, I was pissed that I couldn't sideload.
On another note, does anybody see their device without the driver as "wx_un_mo"? I didn't think this was a valid model number considering the post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/shield-tablet-otas-t2847116 says it's a modem/wifi version.

Yes.. it was showing up as this for me too when in recovery but when in android OS it was fine... that is just the device ID . I kept uninstalling it until it showed as shield tablet with an ! in front of it. Now I think that was over kill.
Make sure your using the Nvidia Windows driver... There are two drivers that load
1. Bootloader driver
2. ADB Composite Driver
1 loads in fast boot only (bootloader)
2 loads in andorid OS (no issues typically) but when in recovery you have to force the driver install. If it doesnt work when in android OS (ie Lollipop, etc.) then do the same.. pick ADB composite driver.

Yea I figured out the driver install fortunately, I was just curious as to why it was showing up as such. I didn't think that the specific model number was valid and was curious if anyone else had the same thing.
