[Q] Re-installing Samsung drivers? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

After having some issues with connecting my phone to my computer, I thought I might try uninstalling and re-installing the samsung drivers. The problem is that I can't get them to install. Every time I get a message saying "the device driver was not successfully installed". Can anyone help me with this?
EDIT: I apologize, apparently my computer is having issues with its USB drivers-it has nothing to do with the Samsung drivers. I'm not seeing a way to delete this thread. If a mod happens to read this, feel free to delete this thread.

Actually, I am having the same issue ongoing. I have tried different USB cords, uninstalling USB device, uninstalling/reinstalling Samsung Kies, uninstalling/reinstalling most current Samsung drivers. Every time I reinstall the Samsung drivers, I get "the device driver was not successfully installed."
The OP might have isolated the source of the issue, but Samsung tech support (3 hours worth) and my best efforts cannot get to the bottom of this issue.
Anyone????

this is problem of windows registry not driver
i have the same problem for past one month..i am unable use kies or odin because, samsung usb modem will not be installed correctly..
then i found all usb modems(huawei data card) are not working properly because windows cannot load the drivers(error 31)...the i followed the following steps...i got it corrected
please take a back of the windows registry before doing..
1. Go to start menu
2. Run ‘regedit’
3. Open this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
{4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
4. In this key, find the “Installer32” string.
5. If the Microsoft Registration Key is missing, the key has to be added manually.
6. Create a “string” value named “Installer32”, and set it to “mdminst.dll,ClassInstall32”
5. Save the ‘regedit’
restart the computer.. and reinstall kies..it will work

anyone else having problems with 64bit galaxy S drivers?

I did the one click root with no problem, now can't do the clockwork mod because the drivers keep failng , even tried the root again and it won't work either because of the drivers. I can get it to sync like 1 in 10 times, verified because I can get adb shell working. but it seems if I try to do anything, the drivers basically reset themselves. i didn't have this problem previously, although i did have to reinstall the drivers everytime, now that isn't even working, has anyone got this working correctly? I only have windows 64 bit machines.
EDIT: if someone could post a link to drivers that are known to be working, that would be appreciated, then at least I know I'm using ones that are working for people.
What version of windows are you running?
does it give you any errors, or does it just not regonize it? Maybe an issue with driver signing.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. the device manager usually shows errors, i show a bunch of drives listed, after a few tries of deleting the J drive, I get it to show up as wpd file or something like that, then it works for a minute or so, it will let me into adb shell and I can do SU, but if i try adb push, it hangs. same thing when trying to do the 1 click scripts, I know if its working or not, because if it isn't working, the script just hangs, then 10 tries of unplugging and plugging in and it finally connects and runs the scrips although giving errors and such, I did root just fine using the scripts, so I'm not sure whats going on with these drivers. maybe if I knew which things to uninstall from the device manager, i could start from scratch, using back usb port, front usb port, makes no difference. i'm gonna wear out the micro usb port if I keep plugging and unplugging the phone like this.
Hmm it sounds to me that finding the associated driver files in the registry/file system and clearing them. Rebooting. And reinstall of driver would be the best plan of action.
In device manager you should notice a new driver pop up when you plug in your phone. From there you could uninstall the driver, but be aware if you just uninstall the driver without removing the driver files 7 will auto find them and reinstall them when it sees your device.
Without being able to look specifaclly at the computer its hard for me to tell if its a corupt/broken driver causing the problem. There could be a few things doing it.

It's not so much in device manager that your looking to remove it. Usually when a driver is installed, it places a directory on your c drive with all the files needed. now those files could be located in /windows or /program folders, or they could be in their own folder for titled samsung for example. (this usually isn't the case for storage drivers like we are dealing with)
I am not sure how samsung wrote their driver package, but you may be able to run it again and have it remove the files for you. I would verify on a windows system, but I don't have one running right now. You may also be able to use the driver installer to follow the path to where it places the files. again it all comes down to how the driver installer was written.
also just thought of this, and it is a long shot, but verify that you don't have an antivirus/firewall blocking the connection.
I don't know if you have another computer, if you do I would try it on that system as well.
Sorry I can't be more definitive on where to remove them. But without a windows system I hate to send you looking in the wrong spot and deleting things that shouldn't be.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html this program will let you wipe any usb device from the history... worth a shot/try a different port
On 64-bit Windows, you'll probably need to manually set the driver for the ADB composite device. Just do update driver from the device manager, browse for drivers and hit let me pick from device drivers on my system.
Worked for me anyway.
But it sounds to me like your problem is not driver related. Try another USB cable. The stock one is pretty poor. My first Epic's had this problem, so I got another cable and it magically started working again. Also, front USB ports are more finicky, so you could try the back ones.
Linux FTW.
I never got the most recent clockwordmod one click method to work, I always have to use 2.5.0.9, then do the update.zip method for 2.5.1.0., I tried on both of my laptops, one running 7U64, the other running 7U32.
did this and tried two cables from both of our epics, also, it worked fine to do the clockwork mod. used front and back usb ports. no luck.

Glad to hear you got it solved. As to whats wrong with your computer, I have no clue. Good luck though. If all else fails, wipe and reinstalls are your friend.

I have had many problems with drivers on my windows 7 64 bit machine.
To get the epic drivers to work I had to uninstall all other samsung phone drivers first. Download the x64 drivers from that post, upzip.
Plug your epic in mount it. Open the device manager and manually point it at the unrecognized device at that folder. I had to do this for 3 or 4 separate entry's.
Play with it a bit and you should be able to get it working with those.
Hope this helps.
Bah new user bs. Cannt post the link. Go over to SDX developers epic development section. There is a sticky "Confirmed Working Drivers"
I said screw it with the Samsung Drivers. Just installed PDAnet when I got this computer a week ago and no issues (win7 home 64-bit). It asks during setup what phone drivers you want to install. Select Samsung, let it do its thing, and you're all set. ADB works flawlessly, no need to mount sd card to get it to work.

[Solved] MTP for WinXP - A service installation section in this INF is invalid

Hi All,
I just tried to connect my TF101 to an old WinXP box and got the error above when installing the driver from the Asus site, the solution after looking here was to install the Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework for WinXP here. I think this fix applies to all android devices but I figured it was worth a post if it saves some TF users from a long search.
Thank you for this, helped me fix it after searching around for 2 hours!
thanks heaps
You are a legend. Samsung should put this on their site. I couldnt get my Samsung Galaxy S II to connect, installing the Framework and then uninstall and driver and plug phoneback in then worked.
WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!
POST THIS IN SAMSUNG WEBSITE
This driver package solves the Error code 28
for MTP device as samgung, then it works in Kies.
Hey thanks for the info +1
Thanks it works
equal or better file already installed on this computer
I get the same INF error when I try to hook up my video camera. I tried to download the file but received a message stating that I already have an equal or better one already. Obviously that is not correct because it is not working.
I am lost and can no longer put my videos from Panasonic Mini DV on my computer.
Any chance anyone knows how I can fix this..thanks!!
Gigsee, what operating system are you experiencing this on?
The help above is specifically for WinXP, it *may* be applicable to Vista also but will certainly not apply for a Win7 box because the usb driver stack is totally different there.
You'll have to help me out by giving step by step instructions of what your clicking and what your seeing at the time to pinpoint your problem and please be very specific with the wording of any errors your seeing.
Reply with something like;
1- click start> settings > control panel > system.
2 - open device manager tab.
George
Hi George - Thank you for taking the time to try to help me. I have an HP that is running on Vista Home.
I have tried to add the video camera several ways. One way is to open Movie Maker and add video camera. I also just hook the video camera up to the computer. I've tried a USB cord and HP told me I needed an IEEE 1394 cord, but that made no difference. I've tried going through the control panel to cameras and adding a camera. No matter how I try, it always does the same thing:
1) I plug in the USB cord. I instantly get this message: USB Device Not Recognized.
2) Control Panel; Scanners & Cameras; Add Device
3) I am sent to the Welcome to the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard
4) Next; I have the box asking me if I want to select the manufacturer from the list (only my old printer is on the list) or to select that I have the manufacturer's disk
5) Have Disk
6) Message says to the Insert manufactures installation disk, which I do. It asks me to copy manufacture's files from:
7) I hit browse and change drive to E (since that is my disk drive).
8) A list of 6 files come up. Acrobat Reader, DV Studio3, USBDriver, ArcSoft, G726, AUTORUN
9) The acrobat, dv studio, arc soft all upload correctly. When I hit the USB Driver, it takes me to another screen that says DRIVERS. At this point, the file name gets automatically filled in as "AUTORUN.INF" When I click "OPEN" I get AUTORUN.INF File not found. Check the file name and try again.
note: It used to be that when I hooked up the camera to the computer, It would automatically detect it and try to connect with it. It was then that I got the error above about "A Service Installation section in this INF is invalid." Now, it doesn't even let me get that far.
I hope I was descriptive enough..thanks so much for trying to help me!!

Hi !
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH i777. I've been trying to connect it to my laptop ( now xp sp3 ) for a few weeks now.
I've tried almost everything :
-updated sp2 to sp3
-uninstall and reinstall drivers manually
-tried suggestions from android and xp forums : tried every connection mode, every usb port, code error 28 suggestions, .Net framework update , updated windows media player "mode", and some others ... even trying this Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework.
But no success. I've always had this annoying " A service installation section in this INF is invalid " message.
Until yesterday when I found this site and followed divadrummer 5 steps :
fixya.com/support/t221754-service_installation_section_in_inf
( as a knew member I cannot post outside links for a while - so you need to supplement the above line with the usual "stuff" like "www"
I've found the "inf" file in the windows hidden system.
Hope I could help .
Thank you very much!
Galaxy SII - MTP INF Issues
This is the EXACT issue I've been having. I'm thrilled to see it on XDA since I know there's so many competent people out there just brimming with eagerness to help me figure this out. (Or at least you're borderline willing)
Device: Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint SPH-D710 (i think)
OS: ICS
Computer: Dell Latitude d610
OS: XP SP3
As you know I connect my phone to the computer, it recognizes new hardware and attempts to install it. The only way to get the computer to recognize the phone in My Computer is by connecting as a digital camera and even then the VAST majority of my files are unavailable.
1. I installed the link provided by the original poster.
2. I uninstalled my phone by the device manager and in fact by removing the samsung phone drivers that I had earlier installed.
3. I then plugged my phone back into the computer.
4. I installed the Samsung drivers again
5. I allowed the "found new hardware to run its course.
6. I receive the attached screen shot with the error stating "An error occurred during the installation of your device. The required section was not found in the INF.
I have tried to follow the instructions above and I think the User Mode stuff sounds promising.
Next I attempted another fix at the link below:
fixya.com/support/t221754-service_installation_section_in_inf
The link had the following instructions: (Thanks Divadrummer)
"If the player is showing up in your Windows' Device Manager under "portable devices" with a yellow "!":
1.) Right-click the yellow "!" and choose "update driver".
2.) When given the option to connect to Windows Update, choose "no, not this time" and click next.
3.) Choose "Install from a specific location (advanced)" and click next.
4.) Choose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and click next.
5.) Click the "Have Disk" button. Browse to C:\Windows\inf and choose the file marked "wpdmtp.inf"
I can't believe the generic players have such crappy support when so many people have this problem! I think the Windows file problem might be caused by "compressing old files" when you do a disk cleanup."
After doing as advised I found no wpdmtp.inf file. SO... I did what any amateur computer guy would do. I googled the file and downloaded it directly. I placed in in my INF directory and then tried to do step 5. I still experience the same error.
Suggestions and inquiries are welcome and encouraged.
Thank you in advance.
thanks

[Q] SK4G not being recognized on PC

I originally posted this inside the Glorious Overdose V2 thread, but decided to post here as well.
For some reason my computer won't recognize my Sidekick when I plug it in via usb. I do have the samsung drivers installed and it will read my friends Samsung Droid Charge just fine, but when I plug my Sidekick in it comes up saying "USB Device Not Recognized". So far I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from the device manager to no avail. Wondering if anyone has an idea as to what it could be. I've also tried googling the solution and everyone says to just uninstall and reinstall the drivers and it should work. Now the phone is not plugged into a USB Hub, extender, or case, it is plugged directly into a usb port on the mother board.
PC Specs just in case:
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU - AMD FX-4100
Memory - 8GB DDR3 1066
Phone:
T-Mobile Sidekick 4G running Glorious Overdose V2
Nothing added just the rom and some apps/games.
I have tried with USB Debugging on and off, either way does not work.
Update: I have since tried Kies mini, as well as the drivers found on Softpedia. Neither of those worked, so I just got done reformatting and reinstalling Windows hoping that would work. At first it did not, right now I am running windows update to see if that was the issue, I'll update of what the outcome is.
Update: After installing all available Windows updates it's still not recognizing the phone. Now no matter what it's saying it's an Unknown Device. Even after I try and do a manual driver update and tell it to look in the folder with the driver files from Softpedia. I'm at a complete loss now.
If anyone has any idea's please let me know.
What mode do you have the phone in? Settings->Applications->USB Settings. It should be in Mass Storage if you want to access its SD Card.
Maybe put another rom on the sd card and flash something else, I don't think it would be a rom issue but it would be worth a try?

It's set to USB Debugging. But even then, it should read as something else other then Unknown Device when I plug it in. I have tried plugging it in and selecting Mass Storage, still comes up as Unknown Device.

I've thought about that, and from everything I can see it's either the ROM or the drivers. So we'll see...I'll probably try a different ROM and see what happens.
I suggest turning USB debugging off and mass storage on, for how you'll be using it. And recall that you have to change this stuff with the USB cable unplugged.
I've tried that, and after talking with the T2 Technical Support from Samsung for 45min today, the only option left is to send the phone in to get worked on. Though, I'm going into the T-Mobile store and see if they can't replace the phone or give me a loner while this one is out getting repaired.
More info request.

This is the exact drivers I pulled off of my own machine, I ran into massive issues with those same driver packages, especially in getting the initial root to take with a few different utilities designed to grant sudo/su/root access, and these are the drivers I have running currently, just pulled off my own machine. I run Windows 7 x64, but as well, there should be no reason why these drivers wouldn't work on a x86 machine and/or OS.

Thank you, I tried unpacking them to a folder on C:\ went into Device Manager, right clicked on the Unknown Device, Update Driver Software..., Browse My Computer for Driver Software, Set the search to C:\, and still saying Unknown Device is the best driver software for it. No idea why it's doing this.
Proper Driver Update
What is going on is that Windows is seeing a more recent signature file attached to the SK4G drivers on your computer (I don't believe anything at all is wrong with your device) than the working ones there.
First, in Add/Remove Programs, uninstall the Samsung Kies and Samsung Driver pack you installed earlier. Now...
Go into on your PC:
://windows/system32
And locate the same file names, cut them all, and paste them in a temporary folder you create, preferably on the desktop or something similar. You may not find every file, and that's okay, just the ones you can find. Next, you will be wanting to paste the driver files from the package I uploaded. Now, turn off Automatic Updates, so it doesn't automatically install drivers upon connection. Reboot the computer, double check and make sure Automatic Upates are off when you log back on. Now, connect the device and see if it gives you the same results. By removing the old drivers which don't work, you'll be able to force it to the ones we know work, and you /should/ have success. As well - USB data debugging active and activating connection for data transfer via the notification pulldown menu would be the best way to do this initially.
Would I be looking in c:\windows\system32\drivers for the same file names as the ones you packed up?
Ok, so the only one I could find in the drivers folder was modem.sys. But it will not let me move/replace the one that's already in there. It's telling me access is denied, same thing when I try and set the permissions it will not let me. I am logged in as an Administrator, as well it says it when I log in as THE Administrator account. So yeah...
Cool - modem.sys is a stock one that is shared with the device, so that's fine.
With the other two programs uninstalled, the old drivers uninstalled, and forcing it into those by pasting them into //win/sys32/drivers you should be in business. Hmm. You can try UnlockRoot.com's device rooter - I know they have an auto driver detector in their program. As well, you can try SuperOneClick, but I don't remember if they do or no. What about going in from the Recovery menu and toggling USB? Anything wierd going on in the /mounts? What about ADB shell access from the Android SDK on Windows?

I tried plugging the phone in, still showing up as Unknown Device. Tried UnlockRoot.com's program, no change. Installing the Android SDK right now, as well as I tried deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, and no change with that either. Once I'm done installing the Android SDK I'll redelete the INFCACHE.1 file and restart and try the phone again.
I did go in and check the mounts in recovery and they were set to:
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
Thank you for your help so far.
UPDATE: So after installing the Android SDK, deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, restarting, and then plugging the phone in, comes up and says the USB Device is Not Recognized. Then goes to search the preconfigured driver folders, and fails to install the driver for Unknown Device. And ADB Devices shows no devices as well(didn't think it would, but yeah).
UPDATE: So after using my friends phone as a conduit to throw the Stock Odexed KJ2 w/ Root(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328698) onto my SDCard and flashing that the phone seemed to go into a soft brick at pre-boot screen(where it says SAMSUNG T-Mobile blah blah blah). Mind you this would freeze before it was even able to get into recovery. So I took it into T-Mobile and they are doing a manufacturer warranty replacement. So hopefully this next phone will be able to connect to the computer and be read correctly.

Run the trouble shooting guide in KIES to re-install the drivers . Also, use KIES AIR, that only needs WiFi and you can access files and folders via your pc browser. Hope that helps

Yup that to. BUT, often on the Samsmug site the software version available is one version behind behind that available via online updates Kies.
Tried that
Hi, I have already done all of the above more than 3 times ive removed the drivers, kies and re installed and my computer will always just keep saying usb device not recognized with code 42.
This is what microsoft have to say:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42)

A duplicate device was detected. This error occurs when a bus driver incorrectly creates two identically named sub-processes (known as a bus driver error), or when a device with a serial number is discovered in a new location before it is removed from the old location. You may be able to resolve this problem by restarting your computer.

error 43
oh im sorry its not error code 42 but 43
windows detectded problems with this device....
Do you have a Linux OS under the hand? It would give you a lot more information than Windows does... If you dont have but want to try, you can download the disc image from ubuntu.com or any other distro like linux mint or fedora etc.
Just to get information on your phone you dont have to install it, just starting on the liveCD, plugin the phone in and running comands like dmesg, lsusb and maybe hwinfo would be able to tell you what is happening with your phone.

This is why I suggest you to try to plug it in a linux machine and run those commands, there is obviously a problem with your device and Linux could help you to define what it is since it gives more information on the hardware.
If you are unfamiliar with dmesg output you can create a pastebin and link it here I will try to help with it. The output of lsusb may provide interesting info too. (as hwinfo but I don't think it is available by default in Xubuntu)

well i will try if i can but it will be in a day or two as im packed to the top with assignments
Also I did not mention that but you can access your phone via the wifi network starting an ssh or ftp server on it, the one I use is connect bot from the market. This way you can manage you music and files over the network.

yes i have done it using kies air that works. i will try the ubuntu method as soon as i can. thanks for all your help so far everyone.
Can you confirm that your usb ports on the PC is working with other devices. Its starting to look like a faulty phone. Have you tried a different usb cable, or can you check the current one with another device. We need to exclude all other factors before we conclude it is a faulty phone.
error 43
other devices work yes.
OK, looks like a croaked phone. Last ditch effort. If you go over to the forums at http://www.sevenforums.com/ have a good search for that error 43 code, there might be an answer that I've missed. We could also have a good look at the windows error logs, but I don't hold much hope as you have proven the PC hardware works, and you have checked and cross checked the drivers. All the error logs will show is an expanded view of the error.
I would consider returning the device with a view to a new replacement. Sorry. :-(

I have a Samsung galaxy s3 which is just about 2 weeks old, stock rom and not modded in any way, i have been able to connect it to pc and it would be fine and work, the past 2 - 3 days whichever pc i plug it into mine or another pc windows will say that the usb device is not recognized and does not install the driver i also cant access it in any way (from usb).
i need help with this i have no answers on Google and i need to access my phone to get music and stuff on it but we need to figure out why mtp or camera mode or usb debugging all do not work.
Thanks.

I had the same problem and could not figure out why...here is the deal:
Prior to SGS3, I had the old Samsung Galaxy S/Vibrant and was using the USB cable which came with it...then I thought; maybe the USB cable in the box of GS3 is different or superior...i tried it and VOILA! it worked...so that is all I had to do...all these reboots and re-installing drivers was just a waste of time...PS> I am running Win 7 64bit
USB ERROR
I still cant connect with 3 different cables, i am going to do a factory data reset and tell you all how i go in about 15 minutes...

Question Phone not detected by PC

A couple days ago my mobile data just stopped working. I had a couple updates I had been ignoring because it would remove the root. I finally gave in and ran the updates. Data returned. Root gone. I connected to my home computer to begin the root process, but my phone would not be recognized by the PC and would not show anything related except that it was charging. It's a new cable, barely used. I tried on my work computer with a different cable and still nothing except "charging". To the best of my knowledge, it connected to my computer just fine prior to the updates.
I've checked Developer Options for anything that says "USB". Toggled USB debugging, revoked authorizations, etc. "Select USB Configuration" is a weird one, all I have are: "Charging", "MTP", "PTP", RNDIS (USB Eathernet)", and "MIDI". But in "Default USB Configuration" I have: "No data transfer", "File transfer / Android Auto", "MIDI", "PTP", "USB tethering". I've selected every option, but (again) no reaction from my phone or PC.
My final options are wipe and reset, or take it to a store; I'm wanting to avoid both of these if possible. Does anyone have an idea of what else I can try?
Maybe try this?

I'll take a look at that tonight.
To answer your questions, phone boots and everything else seems to operate just fine. Just checked and boot screen says "Orange State Your device has been unlocked and can no longer be trusted", then like 30 seconds later it boots. It no longer has root after the updates and the only way I know to do it is through adb and fastboot commands. But also I backup my photos to my home PC when it gets pretty full. Also, also I occasionally do mobile development at home and test things on my phone.
The orange state is when it's bootloader unlocked. So that's normal. To root, you would indeed need an adb connection even when using the patching boot method.
I just remembered something. Go to your pc, look for a file in Users> your username > .android (hidden folder) > adb.key.
Even when you revoke authorisation from the phone, if that file still exists, the pc still sees 2 different keys so it won't allow it. So see if you can delete it.
Are you on win10 or sbove? It sometimes won't let you connect "untrusted" devices. Hope it helps.

Ya, I wasn't too worried about the bootloader message, just being thorough. I'll try the android folder at home also, but for what it's worth I don't have anything android-related on my work computer and it doesn't connect either.
Both are Win10
In device manager in win10, do you have any yellow triangle next to android drivers? What are the drivers you installed for your phone?

Phone doesn't show anywhere in Device Manager, and no yellow triangles. IIRC, drivers were installed by my phone when I plugged it in at home. I actually don't remember the last time I plugged into my pc at work before now.
Then look for your brand's android drivers and install them. I think that's the issue. Plugging the phone alone would install generic android drivers not your specific ones.
Short version: Nothing worked.
I had already tried searching for "oneplus 9 drivers". The main site doesn't offer anything, so there are a couple search results that really feel like scam sites. But they're the top results, so maybe I'm wrong. I installed the results from the search, and also searched xda and the one result I found.
I downloaded the ISO for mAid. Ran it in a VM. I couldn't really figure out what to do in it to troubleshoot. I was also discouraged because if my computer won't recognize the device, then why would the device show up in a VM?
I found and removed adbkey and adbkey.pub from "Users\<me>\.android\".
I had a brief bit of hope. I doubt the drivers caused it, so I'll probably remove those again. I got the device to appear in Device Manager but with a yellow triangle. It only seemed to happen when switching between "No data transfer" and "File transfer / Android Auto". The device was displayed as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I doubt that provides much help though.
Have you tried clearing out the dust bunny's in the usb port on phone?
Keep the device in file transfer mode and with a yellow triangle. That's better than nothing.
I found this. Try and install it. (Also, doesn't this forum have a sticky thread for drivers? I have the 9pro btw)

Yup. Folded some paper after the previous stuff. A little bit came out, but not so much that I'd think it's the issue. I have a floss stick thing, but it was a bit thicker and was moving the piece inside the slot.

Took a look on OP9 forum, doesn't look like there is one. We have that on OP9Pro. Here's a link to the drivers, should work for you i think.

"Device Descriptor request failed" tells you that the very first step of USB enumeration failed.
So you're talking about flakey cable, bad connection, interference OR the device was not initialized properly.
So try different ports, different computers, something different.
The first step is getting it to the point where it connects solidly (even if it can't/won't find a driver).
Unfortunately you can't tell Windows to use common sense and install a WinUSB driver. That's why we have Zadig: https://zadig.akeo.ie/
Unfortunately (again), adb.exe expects the correct DeviceInterfaceGUID. Ok, you can patch adb.exe or you can use Zadig with a custom .cfg file to specify the DIGUID.
Here is an example .cfg file. You'll have to fill in the VID/PID/MI if you ever get your phone to connect solidly and you can see that info in the DeviceManager.
So, go to Zadig, select Device > Load Preset File, select Options > List all devices, find your device and hit install.
Code:
[device]
Description="Standard Google Device"
VID=0x18d1
PID=0x4ee7
MI=0x00
GUID="{f72fe0d4-cbcb-407d-8814-9ed673d0dd6b}"
Good luck.
Dang... I think it's the dust bunnies. I have to push the cord in pretty hard, but it'll connect. So either bunnies or I don't know if the port itself gets displaced over time. Used an air compressor to blow out a bit, might try a bit more tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's help!

Try using a toothpick. Just try not to bend port too much.
