After plugging away for a few hours now, I am still unable to get my Windows 7 PC to recognize the Infuse 4G as a USB device. Upon plugging in the cable, I continue to get "USB device not recognized". I have installed the latest KIES package + drivers, tried a drivers-only install package from ATT, tried mini-KIES, tried all the USB ports and tried the whole thing over again on another Win7 PC. On the phone, I have tried the USB settings at Mass Storage, Media Player and Samsung EZUpdate and under Applications/Development, I have turned on and off USB debugging. The only thing I have not tried is another USB to mini cable, as I don't readily have one available (using the one that came with the phone).
The Infuse is a great smartphone, and I hope to make it a little smarter by sync'ing up to my PC. Any suggestions are appreciated. Jonathan
They may have included a charging only cable now. Is it telling you it is failing the install?
EDIT: Just read it said not recognizing. Try the Captivate Drivers. It's been a while but I think that's what I had to do.

Uninstall kies completely! There is some problem with kies in windows 7 64 bit, search within this forum for the USB driver only.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Ok, so no joke, a day or two afterm I got my Infuse I had this exact issue. I was freakin out for at least two hours. Power cycled my phone, and I kid you not, it suddenly worked. Bizzare, but true.

Same, but i like disabled usb debugging and I think that did the trick.
I'm using Kies on 64bit windows 7 and it works fine.
You can try a different computer? Different USB port? I'm willing to bet the problem is not the phone at all.

Im on W7 64 bit running Kies with no problem, I don't think that the issue..
Problem persists... arrgh
Good tips, thank you, tried most of them, no go.
Using my cleanest, most reliable Dell, I uninstalled all of the KIES software, plus all of the Samsung drivers listed, plus the Samsung EZUpdate software. Rebooted, then installed only the drivers downloaded directly from Samsung (SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2.zip). Tried all the USB ports on the Dell, same issue - "USB device not recognized".
Just for fun, I then installed the new Samsung Galaxy 64bit drivers. Same issue.
As I am seeing exactly the same issue on two different PCs with no known USB port issues, I am beginning to suspect the cable that came with the phone might be the problem. Or is that too simplistic? Jonathan
The drivers are on the Samsung website. That would be the first logical place to look anyhow.
Also could be a bad cable but I think win 7 64 bit has issues with Samsung devices. Try to manually install the drivers and try a different cable.
At this point it is most likely the cable with a small chance of the phone itself being the issue. Try a different cable next, but if you have a linux live CD (Ubuntu, whatever you have) start a computer off of that, it won't require any drivers, and if it still isn't recognized that will prove you aren't having driver issues

I am currently running Windows 7 64-bit at home using the drivers you included above. I'm not having any issues connecting with my PC, so I would guess it's not drivers. The fact that it's happening with more than one computer would suggest that it's either your phone or your cable, and not the PC. I would start by shutting down your phone and pulling the battery. Let it drain for a few seconds, and then power it up with the battery back in. Then attempt a connection to your PC. It couldn't hurt to reboot your PC at the same time. Good luck!
ok so 1: sorry for reviving a semi-dead thread
2: first post so be easy on me?
but i might have a solution to the usb problem(kinda sorta) although its mainly for file management(like non os type.. unless u got a rooted phone)
but try installing "FTPDroid" from the market its a good free app, what you can do then is just get "FileZilla" (also free) on your computer.
just go to settigns of ftpdroid then add a user account ( so u can edit directorys and move/deleat files, instead of jsut transfers from computer) and sign on to the ftp server from your computer useing the account settings. and your good to go ^^.
but if u are needing the usb for say changing the os or rooting... this wont really work i dont think unless u can figureout how to do that threw other means.. then u can use the ftp to change os files(maby?)
hope i helped. atleast just a little bit.
Yes, I have read other threads prior to posting this. My Samsung infuse WILL NOT connect to my PC to attempt to use GTG's unbrick to revert back to stock. I have tried the following:
1. Multiple USB cables
2. Install Kies
3. Install Kies Mini
4. Uninstall both versions of Kies
5. Install just sole Infuse drivers
6. Attempted multiple computers (2 Windows 64-bit machines, 1 Windows XP SP3)
7. Attempted to use in VMWARE
8. Performed factory reset
9. Used USBdeview to delete any association of the device with the computer
10. Select mass storage mode when prompted to connect to the PC. Also set it to automatically select this setting.
I have tried everything I can find on this form and on the internet, still no luck. My phone makes the noise that it is going to connect and does nothing. Doesn't show that the device is installing, doesn't ever show up under my computer, just sits there. When I pick mass storage on the ROM it goes back to the main screen. I am running GTG's infused ROM, attempting to take back to stock. I have tried Heimdall, I have tried GTG's back to stock methods, phone NEVER is picked up by the computer even in download mode. To say the least, I have tried this OVER AND OVER on multiple machines, within the past week, and I would like to just go out and run my infuse over with my car at this point. I do not believe I will ever be buying a Samsung device again. Can someone please help me before I go insane? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciate on attempting to get this POS to connect to the computer. I am on Windows 7 64-bit edition.
Since you are attempting to unbrick... Have you tried to do a factory reset from the ROM settings?
Just my 2¢

1. You might have a bad usb data CORD or one meant only for charging, not DATA. Edit..nvm..saw the first line.
2. Your phone's UBS port may be bad.
3. Are you able to connect via kies air?
Thank you for doing your research. The only thing that I can see that you're missing is that you didn't say you ran the program with admin access. And comon Cheezy.. be nice. This guy knows his stuff man..

Apologize for not posting, I ran Odin as Administrator, even tried XP Compatibility mode on both Windows 7 64-bit boxes. I installed Ubuntu, but doesn't appear that GTG's Back to stock is compatible with Wine, so couldn't resort to that option. I didn't recall if I had tried installing Kies mini with administrative rights or XP compatibility mode so I'm trying that now. Will report back. I'm thinking I could have a bad data cable that's just used for charging. Thing is, it worked when I originally rooted the phone from Stock, so I was wondering if it had something to do with the firmware for GTG's infused and Windows 7 64-bit. But, I see plenty of people able to get Odin to work on his build, so doesn't make sense to me. I did flash back to GTG's Infused 2.2.1, seems to have fixed some of the issues I was having with 2.2.3 (random freezing of the phone, system volume freezing and crashing when opening through Settings menu), random WIFI turning on/off. That seems to be all good now. Just wanted to figure this issue out.
No luck... But, Kies Air does work. Still doesn't fix the fact that I can't connect via USB to store back to factory. But, I think that both USB cables I have may be bad for data connection. They are the ones that came with the phone, and BOTH cables attempt to just charge the phone and not attempt to mount the external storage in Windows 7 64-bit. Debating whether or not I want to order another cable, thinking about upgrading devices since I'm eligible at this time. Any recommendations on a good upgrade from the Infuse??

If you're looking for a data cable, i got 2 off Ebay for $1 each. They worked. Search for mini usb DATA cable.
I've seen them go bad midcharge. If you had it plugged in, wiggle it, push slightly in each different direction gently. sew if you can get a brief response.
Re: new phone, galaxy note seems to be the hot device.
Sgs2 seems to be the fav by devs
I know you've said you've tried different cables, I had the same problem and it did turn out to be a cable issue. I tried 3 different types, and I ended up having to use one that I got directly from the local AT&T corporate store.

If you have an old Blackberry USB it will work. I use one for my Infuse . Or maybe a friend of yours has one you can try before you decide to buy one...
Just my 2¢
Thanks guys, will definitely give that a shot and buy a new cable. I'm pretty sure that's gotta be what the issue is. I wouldn't think that 3 different computers are bad with two different OS's. I will probably get one here in a few days. I plan on upgrading the device here soon. I bought it out of pocket retail about six or so months ago so I didn't have to renew my contract. I'm waiting to see what they release at the end of next month's conference before upgrading. Probably give a quad core a shot to see how they are
Well, new USB cable NOPE, Still no connection to the phone via USB.
Did you try the ports on the back of the comp?

Drivel,
While you are plugged in, try pushing the connection around a bit. See if there is any recognition. If there isn't, i think you may have a hardware issue.
If it was a hardware issue, the trick it's to get att to honor their warranty.
if you're running infused, the trick is how to get out back to stock or to brick it
The closet thing i can think of is to download download dman uckl2 rooted package via kies air or by phone. Dl the stock kernal. Flash the ROM, disable lagfix, then flash the stock kernel.
That's as close to stock as I can think off for you to take to the att store and have them check the usb hardware port
edti: no prob GoSooner.
thanks qkster^ Thanks button failed on me
Take this with a little tolerance from a noob.
I am trying to get my G friends In fuse to upgrade and can't get past the unregistered device.
Shes uses it for prime business and is going out for 2 days so I can't wipe the internal till she gets back but I'm up to the last 2 steps. After pulling the sd card it wanted to but still hung. Will wait till she gets back to wipe the memory clean.
Following long trails of solutions it looks to me for some steps for you to try.
Do a search on your comp and find all kies. Remove all.
Pull usb from comp and phone.
Hard reboot of phone,reboot comp.
Reload Kies mini
Open above, file drop down,load drivers.
plug in usb to comp.
phone usb to kies.
plug in usb. Go/no go?
No go pull phone sd card. Repeat all above. Go/no go.
No go? wipe internal memory.
Repeat /Go/nogo.
No go /Sledge Hammer cure.

Appreciate the help guys. It's weird because when I first had the phone it worked for me to root the phone. I think I'll just stick to Kies air if I need to back up or anything. I don't feel like going through the trouble of flashing/exchanging and then re-rooting the new phone. I'll just deal with it. With the new USB cord I did trying a Windows 7 64-bit and Windows XP.
I do want to say that I appreciate everyone's help.
Had to remove the site address cause I'm a noob and this info wouldn't post. But the below is the issue for me.
[14] On February 3, 2012, the update went live on Kies Mini.
Samsung Infuses with "Kernel 2.6.32.9" blocks Kies Mini from being able to update to Android 2.3.6 "Gingerbread". An over the air patch should be released by 2/8/2012 to fix this issue.[citation needed]-
Hi,
I just received my phone, and have a couple of total newbie questions. I have never had an android phone, but, have an unlocked android tablet for my daughter. I unlocked it with info from this site. Awesome help!! I couldn`t have done it without you. Needed a new phone, and couldn`t afford the home prices or contracts for the iphones, galaxies, etc, so went for the Jiayu G3. Just started using mine, but and having problem getting windows 7 computer to recognize the device. The screen looks great and so far, it seems nice, but I am not a phone tech. I`m more of a desperate user, willing to learn and try...with direction from someone with experience.
Has anyone else had a problem with this phone being recognized, I guess as a mass storage device, and is there some solution that someone can help me with?
Also, wondering whether or not to unlock the phone, once the first problem is solved. I don`t know too much about the benefit of the unlock in this case. Can someone share info on that? I SAID I`m a newbie, sorry.
Is there any must have software that any of you more experienced users recommend for this phone?
Does ANYONE know where I can find info on it in English, so that I can figure out what I`m pressing?
Seriously....Thank you!

Are you still having problems connecting as mass storage as i just plugged mine into my sons windows 7 pc and it installed drivers straight away. Whe you connect to pc does usb connected not show on screen and a turn on usb storage button not appear. If not then when you plug in the cable swipe down from the top of the phone to see the notification area. One of the notifications should read Connected As USB Storage Touch for other usb options. Now yours might say media device or camera (ptp) just push that button and you should be taked to a screen with 3 choices, usb storage-media device-camera(ptp) select usb storage and if drivers do not start to install pull out cable and plug in again and hit connect as usb staorage and then OK. Hope this helps, I have mine rooted but I would not bother as there is going to be an Jelly Bean update released if you root you won't get the over the air update or might even fail and download and manual update. Phone works great just as it is.
hello all! if you have a problem driver download PDANET install it on the PC and connect your phone. install the drivers it must be!
here is that if some help ....
So I went and bought the staples black friday jlab 7 pro tonight for 39.99. Its ok for the money no huge complants it does the basic stuff. So my question is can someone help me find rooting info for this tablet I have been searching and havent found anything usefull. I just really wanto to download the cracked google store like i had on my hisense sero 7 pro last year and to be able to mod games and remove apps that I wont use. Any info appreciated.
I also picked up this tablet from staples. I installed the latest google usb drivers and tried kingo. It detected it and was able to root it. The problem is now when I shutdown or restart it does a factory reset. I have been googling for potential fixes but so far no luck.
Got my son one of these was surprised not to find anything about rooting or Roms. If anybody cones across anything please share.
Hey did you ever find a fix for the factory restore every time it reboots deal? Just started my search, if I find anything, I'll report back here, thanks
Has anyone figured out the factory reset every reboot issue? I also rooted using KingoRoot and am having the same issue. Thanks!

Yes Windows PC it's an HP laptop
I've tired it on a desktop same results
Turn WiFi off/ unplug hard-line. Reinstall Samsung drivers. Leave internet off and plug phone in. Sounds like windows update auto searching for drivers is stalling you. Try to Odin stock .tar after. Report back.

Just got off work. Save your money man. Try using the skipsoft toolkit for n5. Maybe it will work out whether your having mtp driver issues, Odin version issues, or what in fact is wrong. Uninstall Samsung drivers. Download skipsoft. Run through its business. Try to restore to factory. If you keep having issues I'll keep trying to help. I'll pm you my gmail.

If you load this onto an OTG when it asks for the Google password or whatever plug the OTG into the phone and install this and then you'll be able to fix it unless you can't even get that far.. See attached bypass-frp.apk..
