[Q] Core USB detection problem - Samsung Galaxy Core

Hello!
I have been facing a peculiar problem since last week.
When I plug in my Core, it starts charging instead of connecting as a media device/ camera, before which it used to work fine. But If i plug in my Core before booting my PC, it recognises it as a media device or camera and i can use it in the usual way. Ditto for my External hard drive.
I know it's a PC problem coz it gets detected straightaway in other PCs but this is the only PC I have and it is causing me problems as any virus that comes with it will have a free hand if i connect it during boot. or won't it? any help will be appreciated!

Hey!
Thanks for replying but if you noticed I have mentioned its not a problem specific to Core, but is happening with my external hard drive/ flash drives too, so reinstalling kies wont help.
Nevertheless, I did update the driver for core as soon as this problem cropped up (about 3 weeks) and that didn't help
Also reinstalling windows would be the last resort. I was hoping to find something other than that.
oh btw, it's not a virus/malware/rootkit problem 'coz I DO have a licensed Anti virus up and running since I first bought this PC which should be 2 yeas now. I asked about the virus coz if i connect my core during boot, and 'suppose' my mobile has got infected by a virus since the last time i scanned it, wont the virus have a free hand till my pc boots as the anti virus will essentially scan it only after windows starts?
I have done system file check but no problem there.
I got a couple of things I 'll try before formatting my c drive like updating BIOS and running memtest for RAM. if these don't work then I 'll have no other option left
people please feel free to pitch in with any ideas which could detect the problem

had the same issue

hi buddy
i had the same issue few months ago. it was frustrating. i tried everything and it failed. im using avast antivirus .i suspected that it was the cause but it wasn't. as far as i remember the problem occurred while i plugged in the core to kies and it suddenly showed the phone unrecognizable since i think its running on omkars Monster$ rom.i suspect kies sort of deleted the reg files or something of the core and it became unrecognizable. fortunately for me my windows 8 was giving some other issues so i reinstaled it completely. aaaand the problem is gone. i kept away from KIES ever since and so far no issues at all.
hope i helped.
cheers..

yeh i've checked everything. i even use the different port. and cable. also tried on the other two laptop, which is the same thing T____T, i can't even charge my phone from the computer, which is the saddest.
anyone know how to fix it? i tried some way, which is from the windowsXP help and support center. i've done everything but still the same. i took it to some stalls and asked if they can fix it,and they have no clue D:
HELP HELP T_T
Ummm, I guess you tried soft reset?
And / or hard reset?
So its not recoginised at all then. Um try going to device manager and then uninstalling the driver and then press scan for new hardware and see it will reinstall correctly.
Before this reboot the computer and phone and try again as Bodisson said, that normally does it tbh
Ummmm.... maybe you could also try reinstalling ActiveSync on PC.... before SR/HR...
I have the exact same problem. I can charge but no data connection.
Tried on different computers and OSes. No luck.
I'll try to check if any pin got damaged.
where can i get the drivers for it?
If problem is only on your PC, try following:
Uninstall ActiveSync. Reboot PC. Reinstall ActiveSync (ver 4.5 - do NOT keep any previous settings for it).
That should normally be enough.
Also be careful: Similar thing can occur if you're syncing with more than one PC!
Device is sometimes recognized, but you can't sync at any time.
If problem occurs on other PCs too, then I'm afraid you have to go trough hard reset procedure.
If even that does not help, I'm afraid it's repair center time...
I had this problem, the only way for me to solve it was to have it sent to the repair centre, they changed the mainboard, and since you say that you have flashed it you havn't got any Warranty left.
I have an official Windows 7 PRO, and I use it since july with Win 7 RC and I don't know why but I have the exact same problem for 2 days now !!!
It worked fine and then, out of nowhere, now i got usb connection problem !!!
I did at least 10 hard reset, and it's the same problem on the lab top of my wife!!

USB Problems??

My phone has been working fine, up till last night. All of a sudden when I plug it into USB I get an error that there was a device malfunction. In dev man there's a Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume that windows says cannot start properly, and a unknown device under USB.
I've system restored, I've power drained, I've tried on 3 pc's. Same thing. All pc's are running windows 7 64 bit.
Any ideas?
Maybe reinstalling the samsung drivers from the website. Maybe a driver got corrupted. Other than that I don't know. Bring the phone back get a new one faulty device.
Tried reinstalling drivers. Problem is I can't even reflash because I can't get the phone recognized to use the stock rom.....
if you are getting the same result on multiple PC's then the odds favor that your phone is the problem, and not the computer or drivers.
Have you tried different USB modes?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Trying the reset, we'll see. I'm desperate now. Yes, I've tried Kies and mass storage. I don't even need to select one though. (I have it set to ask) I get the error as soon as I hook it up..
Update: Reset didn't do it.
The Same thing happened to me, i tried Factory Reset but it did not work.
Good luck, I'm about at the point of giving up. I'm trying my work PC tomorrow and if it doesn't work, I'm off to the ATT store.
I called ATT cust Care, the lady did not understand what the problem was and said that i should contact Samsung rather than calling ATT to resolve the issue.

thats some good troubleshooting right there

			
				
Driver issues, I had the same problem with windows 7. Use that usb view program and disable the htc drivers and samsung something usb bla bla drivers. Then replug and use the notifications to mount the sd card. It's hit or miss for me too.
Downloaded USBdeview?? Seems to be what you're talking about. Disabled, all samsung devices, there were 2. Plugged phone in. (I know longer get the mount options) soon as I hit mass storage on the phone though it throws the same error.
Then uninstalled the two devices, same thing. So I uninstalled ALL non HID devices, same thing. Gives me the error, throws an unknown device in dev manager, if I try to update/reinstall the driver it tells me the best one is already installed. Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling from add/remove. Same thing.
I'm thinking this is something with the device, not windows. It seems like the OS is somehow corrupted and not allowing windows to see it/load it.??? Sounds weird but 3 computers and 2 days solid of trying to fix this have gotten me no where.
Are you guys using Win7 x64 or 32?
I've had nothing but trouble with x64 and the samsung drivers. I can get the device to mount as a mass storage device if I uninstall all of samsung's drivers, and I have never been able to get the phone running in debugging mode (drivers always fail, adb shows nothing is connected). I can't even get the drivers working properly under WinXP 32bit running in vmware on my Win7 x64 computer.
The drivers work perfectly fine on my laptop running 32bit Vista, though. Installed the drivers, plugged in the phone, everything runs great.
Have not tested with a linux livecd, but I suspect it will also work fine.
I've only tried on 64 bit so far. I do have an Ubuntu box I could try it on I guess. Let's see....
Well... Nothing. I can't figure out how to get it to work in Ubuntu. Not sure it will. Honestly I just installed it and have yet to spend any time with it.
I use Win7 64 bit, tried it on Win XP but still have the same issue.
I'm wondering if it's the cable now. If I turn the phone off, then plug it in, as soon as the battery icon pops up I get the message. Nothing in DM though.
32 bit, used samsung drivers from their site, all the ones from here. As long as I get a connect once in a while I'm fine. I use my method which works for me. Oh well nothings perfect.
I grew up with rabbit ears and 4 head VCR's with bad tracking.
Yeah, unfortunatey I can't even get it to work once in a while......

[Q] Ready to toss Captivate out the window HEEEEEEELPPPPP Please!!!!!

So I'm ready to return this phone and switch to Verizon and a Droid X
Problem 1: No matter what I try I cannot get this phone to connect to my laptop or PC I have probably spent almost 6-10 Hours trying to do this.
Problem 2: This is no where near the concern of problem one but it's annoying as hell, following many of the users advice in order to sync my contacts I used a gmail account and it synced 750 of my "contacts" while most of those 750 are worthless to me I have about 210 or so I actually need. So in order to fix this I created a new gmail account and only copied the contacts I needed as a .csv and synced now I can't get rid of the contacts from the original sync without restoring the phone or so it says.
Setup 1: Laptop Dell Lattitude D630 with Windows XP 32bit SP3 and .net frame work 4. I have tried almost everything. Tried using Kies, Updating Kies, Reinstalling Kies, Reinstalling Drivers, Tried ever driver out there, backdating and redoing it all over again etc. tried different USB Cables the closest I ever got was where it would say Connecting ( displayed in KIES ) and would eventually time out.
Setup 2: Desktop Windows XP SP3 32 Bit .net frame work 4 basically ran down the same thing on the desktop as well except for trying the original USB cable going to try that tomorrow
With both setups I can't get either to connect or even mount the drive in debug mode so I can;t even root this piece of garbage.
IS it me? Am I doing something wrong? If so call me an idiot and tell me how to fix it. I'm open to try anything at this point as this is more frustrating then using that piece of garbage Tilt 2 I had before this.
Please oh geniuses of XDA HALP!
If you have any questions please ask or if you think I left something Important out as well
This may or may not help you; however I had to get the official drivers from Samsung and not the ones that people were using - the Galaxy S drivers caused more problems for me. Uninstall, reinstall the proper drivers, reboot. Then reconnect, expand the drivers installation "balloon" and make sure the four drivers necessary install correctly. I kept having a problem with the USB Mass Storage Driver - but the second time got it.
On the phone, switching from Samsung Kies to USB Mass Storage then enabling USB Debugging and connecting directly to my machine(s) solved most of my probs. I'm using the original USB cable; but to be honest not too sure that would make a difference - just don't go too cheap - I'm also using the Nokia N810 microUSB cable without issues.
Not 100% sure that will help you, but I also had some troubles initially. Don't fret. And good luck.
I just went through exactly the same ordeal you describe with a Win XP machine.
I eventually got it to work, here's what I did:
1. I Downloaded and installed in the following order:
A. Windows Installer 4.5 ... reboot
B. .NET Compact Framework 3.5 redistributable ... reboot
C. .NET Framework 4.0 redistibutable ... reboot
D. Windows XP sp3 ... reboot
After that I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung site, installed them and prepped my phone by putting it in mass storage mode, and turning debugging on.
After another reboot, I connected my phone, waited and prayed ... and it worked. It was a rather long wait as I watched it install the drivers ... be patient.
I think the prayer is what eventually worked ...

You're better off with an iPhone iOS4. Getting the Droid X is just as complicated, it's just how a Android is. You got to learn to use it before it gets powerful.
On a side note, if you do what the above posters are telling you to do, then I hope you love your Captivate as much as I love mine.
Best damn phone I have ever had. Have not had one real problem with it.
But please, read through the android development stickies, there are so many tutorials you just need to follow.
Download the Drivers you need, 32 or 64 bit what ever you need.

I don't use Apple products, but thanks.
It's not that the Software or procedures are beyond my scope of intellect. It seems that every stickied thread I have read on here has 11 different ways of doing the same thing, and not one process works the same for everyone.
Like I said I'm not opposed to trying anything at this point or starting from scratch I just figured it would be a little bit less confusing.
I guess I assumed it would be
DL Software > Install Drivers and Software > plug in phone and magic it works haha.
So far I love the phone besides the fact that it had an SMS error the other day and Deleted all of my texts, the audio jack has become flakey, and the gmail app has consistent errors. OH and I'm missing text messages from people

Thanks wanted to be sure, I had tried those on the laptop, I will try them tomorrow along with the other suggestions. Wish I had an office job like I used to then I would screw with it at work.
To fix the contacts, turn off the contact syncing, dowload Contact Remover from Market, run Contact Remover and select all contacts then delete. Now you can turn contact sync back on and you should be all set.

you could try simpler first - try to connect without Kies;
1. Phone ->settings->applications->usb settings -> ask on connection
2. Install drivers - I installed the AT&T captivate drivers, then the Samsung Drivers
3. Connect phone - if the screen is unlocked, you should see an option for which USB setting you want
4. Pick Mass storage
5. You should see one or two new drive letters on your machine (internal and SD card if you have one)
6. Pull down notification bar on phone, click USB, use for files, Mount drive
This will validate that you have the drivers installed without doing everything else that is involved with .Net stuff
You really only need the Captivate AT&T drivers for this part to work.
I have 2 XP machines and I have full functionality without installing Kies.
I probably tried everything as well..... if not more, but kept trying on my Win 7 64bit.
Don't know of which step finally worked but in using the updated version of Kies (Kies_1.5.1.10074_2_6), Samsung cable (non-motherboard port?), Samsung official 64bit USB drivers, unmounting External SD, setting Captivate to "ask preference for USB", and a final deep breath.
I ended up copying the Samsung USB driver folder to an easy to find location (desktop) and while in Kies(probably not necess.) I opened Windows device manager and asked each device error message to search that folder for correct driver one by one. It finally worked. I used Kies for Outlook Contacts, selected and used Media Center for music(had to remount SD before it would be recognized). Haven't used, but tried mass storage, modem(tether) and they were correctly recognized. Good luck!
What finally did it for me, after getting all the drivers to install with the phone in debug mode, was to set it to always ask on connection. It refused to install the mtp driver if I just set it to mass storage and left it there. I have no idea why, as mass storage is what I click when it connects, but it seems happier this way.

I had the same problem. .. actually I still have the same problem, however, there are ways to root and enable sideloading without ever hooking up to the computer. Try that out. If you can't find out how to do it, let me know and I'll do a write up.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions guys
I had the same problem with launcher pro, no matter how I tried to connect, unless I was in debug. Switching to the always prompt or whatever took care of that for me.

i knw this isnt really helpful but dont throw it out the window send it to me hehehe
I just tried the older cable that was party to all the unsuccessful Kies attempts and got the same error. Tried Samsung cable.....no issues. Odd because that same cable worked fine for EVO 4G and a Motorola device and Moto Phone Tools.
Could be fluke?
Well first off I want to thank everyone for the words of encouragement. I was able to finally get the phone rooted. not 110% sure how I did it but it's now done.
My second issue is now getting Kies to work, all it does is sit there and say connecting device
Thanks again everyone

Patching Kies mini to fix crashes (may also fix "unregistered device")

Kies mini is constantly crashing on me, both on my laptop (win7 x86) and desktop (win7 amd64). I've seen people giving random suggestions on things like trying different USB ports, formating internal SD, etc. None of them worked for me. So I took out windbg...
Turns out Samsung is making a stupid mistake in their AMiniFusCtrl.dll, when calling HttpOpenRequest. The lplpszAcceptTypes they pass in is not NULL terminated! So a random data past the end of the array could trigger an AV, that is, a crash. In fact I'm really surprised that majority of people have no issues.
Anyway, I took the work to patch AMiniFusCtrl.dll to load my hand-crafted ApiHook.dll, which hijacks the call to HttpOpenRequest to provide a safeguard there. Ok I'm not gonna dig into how it works here... The result is I finally upgraded my phone through an official means! (well, sort of )
And here I'm attaching the patch. You need to extract and put the two files AMiniFusCtrl.dll, ApiHook.dll in your Kies mini install folder, which by default is "C:\Program Files\Samsung\KiesMini" or "C:\Program Files (X86)\Samsung\KiesMini" on 64bit Windows. Remember to backup your original AMiniFusCtrl.dll.
P.S. I kinda suspect the "unregistered device" error is also due to the same bug, since during my test, it gave the same error when my hijacked HttpOpenRequest fails.
You are the man. This finally allowed me to update my Captivate to JF7. Could never get past 50% with the OTA and Mini always crashed on Win7 64-bit.
This did the trick. Thanks!
I'm have a Vibrant. Before Kies mini was giving me the error "minilauncher application has stopped working". I tried these files and now I get Unregistered Device. Ideas?
Good work, hope the Samsung developers that troll these forums take notice. I use to try to debug stuff that would crash on NT but not on 95/98 way back when in a similar manner and report it to mostly deaf software companies -- luckily all that knowledge is long gone having been at a unix shop for so long.
I tried installing the Kies Mini App. on two different computers (one Vista 32bit and one Win7 64bit). Both computers gave me the same crash/error with Kies Mini as soon as I plugged my phone in. I tried the patches above, and they had absolutely no effect on either computer. I'm on Samsung Vibrant from Tmo, and using the Tmo specific version of Kies but I don't see why this would matter for the patches.
Any Suggestions????
I tried this and it still says my device is unregistered how do i fix this samsung doesn't know crap
Worked perfect for me man! Thanks mucho!

Problems File is invalid....unknown format or damaged when opening with WinRar..
Explorer says file is invalid
i have updated two dlls but it says device unregistered.
any suggestions on how to overcome this?
ok kies mini right now is working only for the captivate so vibrant users are gonna have to wait for a while
This worked for me! My problem started when my attempts at OTA failed leaving me with a pseudo JH7 update (baseband was showing JH7 but no signs I actually got any part of the update).
Having tired of trying OTA, I downloaded Kies Mini and got the "unregistered device" error.
I then ran across this today and it worked perfectly. I have a full-on JH7 - no problems. THANK YOU!
Thanks
Worked like a champ, thanks for taking the time to fix Samsung's mistake.
Anybody find a way to update the vibrant?
Awesome!! That worked great! Thanks for sharing this with us!
That's a Developer 101 mistake. Can you imagine the garbage code in our phones? It's no wonder they can't fix the gps and froyo is taking so long.

Kies Mini would crash as soon as I connected my T-mo Vibrant (before acknowledging the connection), giving me the "MiniApplication Launcher has stopped working" error. Now with this patch, it acknowledges the connection, but crashes while trying to determine the firmware. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running Win7 64bit.
Edit: I ended up trying Kies v1.5.3.10093_82 as posted on the Samsung Galaxy S Series page on xda. It works like a charm! Wish I could post a link, but I'm under n00b restrictions.
Thank's so much for this. I've spend the last few days trying to figure out why my Captivate would cause the application to crash. You are a lifesaver!
Thank You!
I just got my captivate yesterday and have been trying update it with kies mini but to no avail.....that is until i came across this! Works like a charm, thank you!!!
Nice work! Perfect. Thanks.
Still not working
I followed the steps listed but kies still crashes on me once I connect my phone. I'm going to have to contact AT&T I guess. Also I'm not able to run kies mini with usb debugging enabled, and for some reason my kies keeps switching to Korean.
Update: Was able to get mini kies to stop crashing thanks to your fix but it now states "Failed to Connect Model Information Server". Also not sure why mini kies defaults to Korean on me but discovered that only happens when it's not run as an administrator.

[Q] help with using adb?

Hello, sorry to but this here in the Q/A area. I have been searching for answers for a few weeks now dealing with using adb on my htc inspire. I have found files for doing it and all but nothing saying it will work with my htc inspire. I down loaded the latest htc sync from htc web site, plug my phone in and it dose not detect my phone. I have read that I need drivers for my phone on computer but, nothing I have tried works. Could some one either point me to the files that will work with my inspire, sorry to ask to be spoon feed this and all but nothing I try has worked. thanks a bunch.

The drivers should come with installing HTC Sync. Are you merely downloading it or also installing it?
umm installing it i guess, i downloaded the sync installer and it installed sync. i just uninstalled every thing and going to try it again.
I had the the same problem have to you tried connecting to another pc or say a car stereo for disk drive?

ok i can connect the phone to computer as a hard drive and such, but i plug it in to use sync and i get drivers can not be started in device manager?
when ever i select htc sync on phone i get that driver error. almost like the drivers I have on computer are not the right ones. but I look for the drivers and can not find any other then what came with the htc sync i got off htc web site.
You installed Sync with the phone unplugged, right?
yea i did, its almost like the drivers are wrong or corrupted or something. every time i plug phone in and click on phone htc sync the drivers do not load right.
Windows 7 or 8?
vista.

Oh. Er, I have no idea then...
k thanks for the reply though, I know the phone works. I have hooked it up before long time ago when I rooted the phone. Prob being is i have since reformated the computer erasing everything on computer. I am missing something, just not sure as too what I need to i guess go back and get my old ace hack kit out and see what all i needed to have installed on computer to get it to work. Go from their, I am at a loss for now.
OK, I might be able to assist you because I've heard of similar situations before..so explain in a nutshell of what's really going on..

k, cool here it is. I plug my phone into my laptop, the meassage pop up down at the bottom right corner saying installing drivers. then it said needed to restart computer to finish with the install. I did that, and plug phone back in and the android drivers on laptop fail to start. I can give you the exact error i get when I go into device manager, and click on the android driver, but i cant right now I am at work. i have tried this with severial custom roms, even custom roms that are stock. Right now though i am running my original rom that came with phone, wich its not updated. Its the rom my phone came with what two years ago. I was able to connect phone to computer back then thought i would try that but no joy.
my fire wall is turned off and defender is turned off, i have turned off the setting asking me if i want to run a progrme or not, i forget what it was called and also i have not tried that yet. found it under security settings disabled it and turned off computer was going to try it tonight when i get home.
xZeroMancerx, you have any info on this that can help bud?
just thought I would add some more info. tonight I tried to install HTC sync again to see if I could get it to work. would not install windows something 11 prog also when it asked me to restart computer I waited for a min and it gave me the blue screen of death.

ok well i finally got it to work. turns out their was a major issue with my computer. was stuck on down loading sp1 from Microsoft even. I had to down load some files to fix vista, and re-download sp1 manually and install it. but sync is now working like a charm.
