S4 USB not connecting to pc/laptop (FIX) - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hi,
I am a newbie to this and please excuse me if I have posted in the wrong place and do relocate as you need.
I had soft bricked my S4 I9295 KOT49H.I9295XXUCNH2 and couldn't get the laptop to recognise it. I tried everything....
-uninstall drivers and reinstall
- samsung kies
should you have trouble connecting to the laptop try 1 of the 2
1. try a different usb cable to install drivers
if it doesn't work
2. Use another s4 phone that is properly functioning and connect it to pc/laptop. It will install and update drivers as I have found which worked for me

No...
It installs drivers if the device already has the same included...
Fit is not plug-and-play, which means you need to install drivers manually...or install kies...
Whichever you prefer...

You don't have to use it if you don't want. Installing Kies means you're installing USB drivers, you don't have to start kies everytime when you connect ur phone through usb. I've installed kies but never used it. I use it HIGHLY OCCASIONALLY.
Yup kies is waste of mem (if u ask me ) for drivers go to sammobile website registr n check our phn specific drivers its just around 25mb file dats easy if u dnt want kies
I found it easier to install drivers kies then uninstall kies

hey i am using the usb cable of galaxy ace. is it the problem? but i think these cables can be used on both the devices.
I use the same cable on 2 different blackberry's, my nokia 5310 and c3, samsung monte, and acer liquid metal...
So I don't think that's the problem...
Have you tried using a different computer?
yes i have triedon different computers also.. but its not working there too.
Hi.
I had the problem too. I did this to connect my phone:
1. Go in DownloadMode. Now, the computer must install drivers, like odin.
2. If the installation finished, hold down the Powerbutton for 10 seconds. It'll restart, if nothing happens try to start with holding the powerbutton again.
3. Then, if the phone is started, your computer finds the phone!
I'm not responsible for any damages!!!!

The switch from Samsung USB drivers to Google ones for the recent crop of ROMs is not an obvious one.
There are some links in this post to make it a little easier to get them installed.

Already tried: -Reinstalling samsung device on PC
-Restarting the device (samsung galaxy note) as well as the PC

PLEASE HELP!, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR REPLIES
BTW, here's the screenies ↓
Try a different usb cable... Sometimes it can be that...
Otherwise re-download the usb drivers and try that.. They can be found in dev section, a quick search will find them...
The problem is that u are using a hub port on your pc or a deffective one try another one and if you have another data cable to ensure that the problem from the pc and not the tablet

If changing the cable/port did not work try the following:
1. Bring up dial pad
2. Dial *#7284#
3. Select Qualcomm USB settings
4. Make sure MTP is selected, if it isnt, select it and click ok button
5. Reboot Phone

[Q] MSM8960 USB Modem in Odin Mode

Alright. So, after bricking my first GS3 while attempting to root and unlock with Odin, I'm feeling confident enough to attempt rooting the replacement I've received. When I plug my phone into my PC while in Odin/Download mode, my computer insists that it's a Samsung USB modem named MSM8960. For the sake of clarity, sanity, and not bricking my Second GS3, is this what I should be seeing when I plug it into the computer in Odin mode? Or is this some driver issue? I installed the proper Samsung drivers for the Verizon GS3 before I plugged it into the computer, and any attempt to manually install a different set of drivers or uninstall the drivers Windows 8 is automatically providing me with when I plug in the device has not been successful. Help?
I realize this is one old thread but I'm having the exact same issue using Odin 3.07 and an S4. When I connect my phone via the USB cable Win7 searches for drivers for an MSM8960 and fails. All Samsung drivers are up to date and installed properly. Would love a solution to Odin recognizing and connecting to my device. TIA
I realize this is an old thread.... BUUUUT, I ran into this issue with my S3 on US Cellular, the simple solution was changing the usb cable and the port and the port on my laptop to a different one. Side note rebooting the computer may help for others but it was not necessary for me.
I hope this helps any future googlers.
If this fixes your issue please thank this post, it will let me know I contributed to your happiness, which will make me feel all warm and fuzzy!
Have a great life all you people I will never meet, who I might unbeknownstly help!
perhaps this can help.
i experience the same thing.
my phone is s4 active shv-e470 from korea, but i use it in indonesia here.
i usually flash my phone in my personal laptop, but i accidentally bricked my phone when i go to my parents home in another city. there is only my sister's laptop there, an asus notebook based on amd brazos. (E2 series processor).
strange thing is, when i put my phone in odin mode, the notebook recognize it as msm8960, so it can not found the appropiate driver. i'am pretty sure i have installes latest samsung usb mobile phone driver at first.
i try to change cable and different usb at same laptop (because that's the only pc in my parent's home) but still the same result.
i become really worried because i think i have bricked my phone and there is no way out.
then i plug my portable 2.5" hardisk into another usb port of the laptop.
suddenly, msm8960 device change into samsung modem and bla bla bla, then windows install appropriate samsung driver,so odin can recognize the phone now.
i flash the firmware quickly, and thank god it can run succesfully.

Similar issue like this: i605 Note 2 to PC will not connect. ?
You first have to specify your exact device model name, as there are different available for "Note 2".
Then try to use a different USB port on PC, another USB cable, a different PC, install Kies again with phone connected to PC to get the needed drivers installed automatically.
Is something displayed on the screen of the Note 2 while connected to PC?
Maybe you have enable Mass Storage mode and have to confirm it on your device before you can access it from PC.
And for Odin to recognize it, you have to kill all Kies' processes (in Task Manager) before starting Odin. And the Note 2 has to be booted in download mode.
Here is a toolkit for the Note 2: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V6 GSM] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery, Flash Stock Image.
Maybe this can help.
If not, please register on xda and ask in the [NOOB FRIENDLY] Ask the question! [N7100 and other variants] thread.
Thread closed. Thank you!
