Unable to connect adb to Samsung 5801

Hi,
Has any one been able to connect to samsung galaxy I5801 using adb? Running adb devices is not listing the device for me. I have installed samsung kies.
thanks, srb.

Have you put USB in debug mode?
Ciao

Hi Slumpolo,
Yeah, i have enabled the usb debugging option and rebooted the phone.
Before doing that I also went to Settings>About Phone>USB settings, and selected "mass storage" . This options gets disabled when USB debugging is on, but I did it just to be on the safe side.
Windows device manager shows that all the drivers are installed correctly.
i also did adb kill-server and adb devices multiple times.

Oh boy....its much deeper than that. Search YouTube "how to Android adb devices"...its kinda tricky.

Hi StaraSkola,
I went over all the videos I could find and I believe I am doing everything right. To verify my setup, I connected by friends Galaxy S I9000 and I was able to see it in adb devices.
I did the same with my GT-I5801, and it does not get listed in adb devices. I made sure I was in USB debugging mode.
One difference I noticed in device manager was this:
When I connected I9000, a device called "Samsung Android Composite USB device" showed up in the USB devices.
But when I connect the GT-I5801, I get a device called "Samsung Composite USB device" ... there is no android mentioned any where.
I have tried reinstalling the driver but Windows insists it cant find a better match.
Does this help in root causing the issue?
thanks,
srb.

I finally managed to connect to my GT-I5801, both via Samsung Kies as well adb. yay!
I will note down all the steps that I did, in case any one finds it useful.
1. I re-installed Samsung Kies and then I reinstalled the Samsung drivers. This can be done using the "Driver Recovery" option available in the top left drop down menu in the Kies window. Its a button called Kies. I did this as I had messed around with my devices and drivers trying to discover my phone. But this did not solve my problem.
2. I unmounted the SD card and re-formatted it. The SD card had a few mp3 files in it and Samsung Kies is known to have issues with some types of MP3 files. This did not solve my issue. Phone was still undiscovered.
3. My most drastic step: I went to settings > reset to default. This erased all my settings and all my installed apps and I lost all my notes etc ( .. But, after I connected my phone back to the laptop, everything came up just fine. I was able to browse the phone using Kies and then connect to ADB shell after enabling USB debugging mode. So the problem was with one of my installed apps. I dont know which but I suspect it could be a modded Navigation app (BRUT mod) , that I had installed. But I am not sure.
4. When connected using Kies, there is an option in Kies to eject the phone. If I use this, then Kies does NOT connect back to the phone when I plug it back in. I have to reboot the phone. The workaround is, never use the eject option. Always remove the phone by simply unplugging the USB cable. Then Kies discovers it on connecting back and even adb is able to connect to it. I dont know if other other Galaxy models suffer from the same problem but folks can try out this work around.
Thanks,
srb.

Any official fix for MTP driver installation failed?

I just got a S3 yesterday but was greeted with the dreaded MTP driver installation failed message on win 7 (32 bit)
I installed the regular verizon s3 drivers from samsung's site, did the same thing, uninstalled and tried Kies and let it install the drivers, same problem
tried a different usb port, same thing
restarted the comp and computer, still no go
im getting frustrated now
it seems samsung has known about this issue for over a month now but still hasnt been able to fix it
my a500 and galaxy nexus work fine with MTP so not sure why this would mess up
ive looked at other threads but there was no clear solution on how to fix it

I don't have any issues with mine

Did you try a factory reset?

This happened to me too but I was running a CM10 ROM. What are you running and have you tried a different ROM?
Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what I did but I recall allowing Windows (I'm on W7) to find the drivers and install for me.

I'm not having any issues either, I'm using both 32/64 versions of Win 7...
These are the drivers I'm using:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201206/20120620051748445/Verizon_Wireless_I535_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe
Hope this helps..

I think I found the problem (its not the phone)
its the drivers that samsung issued
I plugged the phone on my win 7 64 bit desktop (not installing any drivers beforehand) and I got a few failed messages for drivers but I was able to access the file system fine
I then installed the driver pack posted and above then got the mtp driver installation failed message and was unable to access the file system
uninstalled the driver pack and connected the phone back up and I can access the file system (with some other drivers failing to install, I think relating to usb modem stuff ect...)
so until samsung fixes the driver problem I will have to deal with a few driver installation failed message every time I hook up the phone, but at least I can access the file system
im running the phone on the stock ics btw, didnt install cm10 or anything like that, the phone is rooted though but I rooted it after I found out about the mtp driver problem so it shouldnt mean anything

I have the same problem on Windows 7 32 bit. I rooted my phone and installed samba as a temporary fix.
Plus I just bought an external 32 GB SD card and I plan on using that as my workaround and just transfering files between the two.

Problem for me was the root.
Could you humor me and try this:
- go into the superuser app
- Select the 'temp unroot' checkbox from the first screen.
- unplug then replug the USB cable on your phone. The drivers should install on the first try this time (they did for me) and Kies should work too.
The problem seems to be that SuperUser exploits the USB Debug internally so, even though USB Debug is unchecked, it is still detected as checked by the connection and fails the install of the driver.
Solution #2 is the amazing script that transforms your MTP connection into a UMS one (look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785243 and thank open1your1eyes0 ). Once in UMS, you don't need the MTP driver to see your device so that's another approach.
Good luck

I bought Samsung Galaxy S3 2 weeks ago. Windows installed the drivers for it when first connected to my Windows 7 64 bit PC. It came up in the list of Devices on the Explorer. I installed "Kies_2.5.0.12094_28_8" which installed USB driver on top of the Windows driver. At the end of the installation, it gave "failure to install Samsung MTP driver".
Saw a thread on other forum where it was suggested to remove the driver from System Driver window under Control Tab/System and reboot. To be cautious, uninstalled Kies. Rebooted PC. Windows installed the driver. As soon as Kies was installed the whole issue unfolded again.
Looks like ALL Kies versions (including previous version of Kies_v2.3.3.12085_7_5) have incompatible and wrong driver which is resulting in this unresolvable situation.
I removed the MTP driver (control panel/system/device manager - MTP driver has ? mark - this is the one). Then removed the phone and rebooted PC. After reboot, connected the phone back. Windows detected the device and automatically installed the driver. The device is listed in Explorer and is fully accessible. Started Kies. It showed the device as GT-I9300. It took a while and connected to the phone. All functions became useable. Sync'ed the contacts etc.
Day2. Booted the PC. Device is still shown in Explorer. Kies shows GT-I9300 and then displays "Connecting Device" - IT FAILS TO CONNECT and on pressing "Trouble shooting" button, it re-installs its own drivers and fails to install MTP driver AGAIN" - the Kies software SUCKS

Solved! For real!
For some reason, any of those options helped me to make it work:
- Reinstall Windows Media Player
- Remove registry key
- Clean up old usb drivers
- re-install 100 times drivers from Verizon, Samsung. Even old versions.
- Install from Windows Update. I tried to do that 1000 times. Gosh!
- enable UMT access (mass storage) on the phone.
The only thing that worked was, for some reason , getting the drivers from a random computer that was the only computer that worked.
Windows 7 x64
Attached the files. Go to the devices manager and update the drivers.

1. Un-install Samsung Kies and USB drivers
2. Then install the Install Samsung Usb driver for mobile phones version 1.4.6.0
3. with phone un-pluged from the usbcable Go into settings/Developer Options un-check Stay Awake un-check USB debugging un-check Allow mock locations Now hit the HOME button then plug in the USB cable and your are set..
This worked perfectly painless for me :laugh:

Solution x Win XP
This solution worked for me.
Install microsoft patch for usb and reinstall MTP driver

No MTP or PTP for Rooted Nexus 5?

I have a rooted Nexus 5. MTP and PTP refuse to work. Doesn't matter how I install/remove drivers or anything. I've tried every trick on the internet and no avail.
The PTP storage used to work when I didn't have root, so what's the deal?
Could this be due to my rooting process? To be honest, I don't remember how I rooted. I'm new to the Nexus scene, having come from a samsung device.
However, I was just having this issue with my older E4GT (GS2 variant) when running rooted/custom roms.
Now, I have a friend with a S4 who decided to get rooted/custom roms and is now having the same issues, except before, both his MTP and PTP worked!
I'm lost and losing hope for this stuff.

Is the device showing up under Device Manager (which would indicate that the driver is installed--see #2 here)? This is not a "root" issue. I've run rooted devices for over three years and have only had the problem in the early days with the Pandigital Novel. Have you used USBDeview to look at what you have for USB drivers and to make sure all drivers are being removed? Try another cable and another usb port. Some cables don't handle data, they just charge; cables are a variable in the process.

Yes, I've tried all three of those things. This seems almost to be mission impossible.
I am running rooted stock and my friend is running a new rom altogether. using different computers, but getting the same issue.
See, while I can get Fastboot and ADB to work without a hitch, I can't get PTP or MTP working AT ALL.
ADB and Fastboot seems to be the only thing people are focusing on, and that's not my issue... so It's even harder to find solutions online

So it does show under device manager? Have you right-clicked and updated driver? Step #2 in the link pointed to USB drivers rather than adb. Yes, adb Is the usual culprit, but I've seen quite a few reports of your problem lately. Usually, removing the drivers and allowing the PC to reinstall works. Have you tried wireless to transfer files--at least a temporary solution?
If you're interested (desperate enough) to do a factory reset, I'd recommend WUGS toolkit. It will wipe do backup everything. Revert to stock and unroot. Then root and install custom recovery.

Happened to me when i rooted the device with wugs. I think because I used the RAW drivers. Just uninstall adb android driver from device manager and all the other drivers that resembles the nexus on usbdeview, reboot . Then put again the usb in the pc , and you are ready to go

I have tried that too, but I end up with the same outcome. Same drivers I would normally have installed and give me no recognition of the device for file transferring.
Fortunately, knowing how this goes down, as it has happened before with me and my S2, I'm not desperate enough to factory reset. As I would ultimately reach the same issue.
I've been interested in wireless file transferring, but I much more prefer not having to upload the file to something like dropbox or manually setup a server. I'm more into the press-and-go (similar to the plug-and-go method... haha, get it?... made a funny there cause it relates to a cord ordeal) routine.
I haven't actively searched that route yet because I'm in hopes that there is a fix for this problem. I'll get to it if there really is no other choice. So, if there is a program that will allow me that ease of access, I'm open to suggestions!

Seeing this makes me question whether I'm confusing the purpose for each of these drivers or you haven't read what I wrote. However, our circumstances differ. I didn't root through conventional means of the toolkits, I just came across it through my search for driver issues. I have tried the method you are suggesting, as the toolkit driver installation steps take me through that step before I do anything else; but this doesn't work. I end up with the same outcome: Device is recognized and drivers are installed (if I allow windows to automatically search for them), but no PTP or MTP for any file transferring.

ok, silly question : Is it enabled on your android phone? under memory ->tap the 3 dots and you will see mtp/ptp try to uncheck and check.
Otherwise I don't really know anything u could do about it.

By using the NRT or toolkits to root, all of the pc's usb drivers were deleted and new/generic/universal ones installed to re-install custom recovery & achieve root. Go to Control Panel on the PC, do you see Portable Devices listing including the Nexus 5 ? Most likely, no - only Android Interface.
A simplistic approach that worked for me is to roll it back - if you are using PC running Windows OS, use System Restore to go back to a previous state to an earlier (earliest possible) time before - with the N5 disconnected. When the PC is restored, turn OFF USB debugging on the N5, connect via the OEM N5 cable - it should be recognized, then turn ON USB debugging if there are missing drivers - let Windows search & install.
At some point, N5 will be recognized as a Portable Device along wit Android Interface, and "Auto Play" would pop up, with full access to all the SD folders & files. Toggle MTP and PTP if necessary as it might install more drivers - you should be good to go.
Reboot the PC just to reconfirm that everything is back to normal, connect N5 and profit - enjoy.
If this work, please share & if it doesn't - please comment what didn't work.

The simplest and shortest way to connect google nexus5 with PC as MTP(Media device)
When I plugged it, there wasn't any yellow exclamation mark within Device Manager. So for me, the drivers were OK. But the device was not listed within my Eclipse DDMS. After a little bit of searching, it was just an option to change in the device settings. By default, the Nexus 5 USB computer connection is in MTP mode (Media Device).
What you have to do is:
Unplug the device from the computer
Go to Settings -> Storage.
In the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose "USB computer connection".
Then select Media device(MTP) or Camera(PTP) based on your requirement...
Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer's incoming connection..
I hope this will help!

[Q] Can no longer see Verizon Note 3 in Windows Explorer?

I can no longer see my Verizon Note 3 phone when in Windows Explorer when connected via USB. The only related change that I can think of is the installation of ADB related files/programs on my PC so I could modify Amazon Fire Stick (which I successfully did). I "believe" i have the right drivers installed, tried MTP and 3.0 connection and can see Samsung Android Device in Device Manager. I tried to uninstall that driver and reconnect but still nothing.
Can anyone help?

Can't connect/get computer to recognize OnePlus One (trying to root)

I've been trying to root my OPO for two days now and I've continued to have this issue. After installing Android Studio + the SDK, as well as downloading the Google USB Driver, when I connect my phone to my computer it shows up as an MTP device under unknown devices. If I allow it to automatically download drivers, it becomes a portable device instead. But I need it as an ADB device. I've already started USB debugging on the phone, as well as switched between all the different USB options on the phone (charging, MPT, PTP, MIDI, etc.) and still no good
When I try to update the driver for the "MTP" device, the Google USB drivers don't show up, and if I try to browse manually, it comes up with the error message saying how "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver." What do I do?
Thanks!

Just want root? No custom recovery or rom?
Then use kingoroot or kingroot app on phone and get root without pc
Make sure you've fast net connection.

Don't exactly want to use them due to the risks / IMEI debacle.

I have exactly the same issue.
I managed to get root by flashing SuperSU (only on a system less basis)
This just got the rooting side sorted but I'd still want to be able to get ADB working again on the phone.
I tried with three different laptops and the issue is persistent. I am running Cyanogen 13.1 coated beautifully with a Boeffla kernel and a slimlined build.prop (have to boast because everyone can agree, the Oneplus One is a revolution on its own)
