why the tab wont connect to pc? - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

why the tab only charging when connecting to PC
but it wont connect to PC
PC wont read it
Odin wont read it
why is that?
is it error form the USB cable?
i have 4.4.4
i had 3.2
the same problem

It you are using 4.4.4, that's the problem, I assume you mean 4.0.4.
The problem with your PC is most likely you don;t have the correct drivers installed.
There are loads of instructions on how to install the drivers. here. Look in the development section.

well, why don't you like ICS I'm just curious about that !
about that problem ...uninstall Kies then restart machine and try to perform a clean install of drivers yes again by Kies but don't connect device at this time and restart PC after installation then connect phone to PC activate usb debugging
also if you like to play with custom ROMs (= flashing ) then I suggest to install Android SDK to get adb.exe/fastboot.exe
now activate usb debugging on your phone connect it to PC then enter from cmd.exe -open console in adb.exe folder location usually ~ \android-sdk\platform-tools\
adb devices
if you get answer it means you have drivers installed
also start Device Manager start/run/devmgmt.msc and connect phone to PC (activate usb debugging previously ) you should see adb interface listed -take a look at picture
now try to start phone in fastboot/download mode and connect to PC it should detect phone
open cmd.exe in fastboot.exe folder ~\android-sdk\platform-tools\ then try this
fastboot devices

[Q] Connecting to Samsung Kies

I have a unrooted N8010 running on stock firmware.
I installed the Samsung Kies and all the necessary drivers but when I connect my tablet to the computer it doesn't work at the first try (I get an error about Hardware ID not found...). Although the Samsung Kies software shows on the top left that the GT-N8010 is connecting... but it never connects.
Then I plug out the USB and click on troubleshoot connection and it re-installs the drivers. Then when I connect the tablet again it is recognized by Kies and it shows up on the software window.
My issue is that I have to do this everytime I first connect the tablet. I don't know why I need to re-install the drivers everytime for it to work. Any ideas as to what might be the problem?
Seems to be a common problem, I have same problem, even when connecting without kies to load stuff on my SD card, sometimes changing USB port helps or connect as camera, then back again to MPT. Jim
same here, Moody KIES
Why use Kies ??? join XDA and throw Kies away .
jje
@JJEgan
how i can sync contacts with outlook, without kies?!

P6210 USB Connection problems on windows

No matter what I do I can't connect my GT-P6210 co PC using either windows XP or Windows 7.
Always get the same error "USB Device is not recognized".
So it's not visible in Odin so I can't flash anything to it.
Install latest KIES, unsintalled it, latest Sumsung USB drivers,installed universal ADB driver etc.
Nothing helps. Tried different USB cable.
All the same result.
Any help would be appreciated

[Q] Phone won't connect to Odin

I had to install the 4.3 firmware on my S3 since it got soft-bricked, but it seems that even though I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and installed Odin, my phone won't connect to Odin. I tried using different charging wires and different USB ports, and that doesn't work either. Even my friend's phone, which was an S3 as well, managed to connect to Odin with the same charging wires. Is it something to do with my phone? I need help with this.
My S3 updated to 4.3 (locked bootloader) and I can't make it connect via USB, it won't connect. I've tried everything, every link I can find, reghacks, drivers (countless installs/etc). I know what I'm doing, I've been using computers longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.
The thing is the device isn't telling the PC what type of Hardware it is, let alone the PC having drivers. I actually think my phone is toast - I'm glad it still charges and you can (if you're not rooted) root via Towelroot without a PC.
Good luck.

Unable to Connect my Galaxy Tab 2 p3100 to laptop

If it failed after replacing the cable and you are sure the drivers are working then it's possible that the port is broken and there is nothing you can do about it unless you bring it into a repair shop. At most you can share files through internet, Bluetooth or SDcard if this happens.

Hey. Thanks for the reply! I will give my tab for repair shortly. I just have a couple more questions.
1. My Laptop is running Windows 11 and my PC is running 10. I don't have previous versions of Windows. Is Windows 11/10 responsible for this in any way? i.e. will the device be recognised in computers running older versions of Windows? (I have already tried the fixes mentioned in Windows forums for "USB Device not Recognized" but to no avail).
2. Is there any way to access Download Mode, root, install a custom recovery & ROM without using the USB cable ?

Windows is not at fault. I am using windows 10 myself and everything works as expected. If it was at fault then it didn't manage to find a suitable driver in which case you have to do it manually.
Also from what I know you are not able to flash a custom recovery through the SD card in download mode. I believe it has to be done through the cable. But if you already have a custom recovery installed you can install a custom ROM just fine with an SD card

About no. 2., you may try this method to first root, then install TWRP, and then install custom rom. But please read the instructions and NOTE carefully.
