Since I upgraded my PC to Windows 10, I've been unable to get a connection via USB. I've tried many things following several hours of research/trial and error but not managed to get anything to work. Kies just displays a USB connection error and I get the yellow warning triangle with "USB device not recognised" popping up on connection of the Note to my PC. I do have a Windows 7 Ultimate partition as well as Windows 10 but even that is unsuccessful. I used to have full connectivity with my original Windows 7 Home set up but I don't want to roll back to that, as I do overall love Windows 10.
Anybody had this issue and resolved it?
Many thanks in advance.

I've done this several times, from different sources, without success. I'm reasonably IT literate but am stumped trying to get this to work on Windows 10.

Hello, I believe I screwed up something with the mounting/unmounting before I flashed a ROM, and my phone is not working as a result. Originally, it would sit at the Samsung Sidekick 4g Tmobile screen forever, and I could use the button combination to get it into download mode... now that doesn't work, and it only goes to the black screen with the phone and the computer.
I have downloaded driver after driver after driver trying to get this to work, I have downloaded ODIN, and I understand how to use it, but there is no way ODIN is going to see my phone because Windows will not properly install it. I only have a PPC mac and Win 7 computers, one win 7 computer says device is malfunctioning and the other win 7 computer loads it as a "Gadget Serial" but says that it did not install properly. I have tried all the samsung drivers, all the samsung programs to no avail. I've tried more than one USB cable too...
Is there any hope in getting this phone back to life? Do I need to use a windows XP installation? I have VMware so I could try XP or linux but frankly I'm afraid to do anything more for fear of further complicating this situation.
Final Edit: SOLVED. I uninstalled everything save for the samsung drivers, installed the android SDK and plugged it in a different usb port...although im not sure if windows got it right away, ODIN detected it and I was able to restore.
When I updated my OS from Windows 7 x64 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro x64, I faced some serious issues related to USB connectivity.
I currently use MyPhoneExplorer as a windows interface for my phone management and it needs USB drivers properly working. Windows automatically detects the unknown device and downloads the related drivers if missing. But as you know it's a long shot and in this case it worked.
Windows managed to pull up some drivers so my USB debugging mode worked and connectivity was fine.
But if you want to connect the device in Download mode using ODIN for firmware upgradation, you're stuck. ODIN cann't detect any device connected to any port (though it's there connected to one of the USB ports actually)
So the final ultimate solution is (after so many other futile attempts ) : download the latest KIES from Samsung's official website.
Trust me on this, it may seem simple and straight but the amount of (futile) efforts I put behind all these is a lot, and I seriously don't want anyone to waste your time on this stupid issue. So that's it.
By the way this is my very first post to XDA. Been using the site for troubleshooting since years but never participated actively. Thanks to the team and all the developers for this great gateway of solutions. :good:

hi try to run odin in compatible mode that should solve your problem could be odin is not compatible with windows 8
So at some stage I installed the drivers I need in the proper fasion but one day I couldn't get my Nexus 5 to connect anymore. I tried MTP, PTP and USB Debugging mode and all that but couldn't get it. Since then I have spent several hours trying to troubleshoot this. Uninstalling and reinstalling all the drivers many times, trying every possible combination and also trying every 'fix' that I could find on the internet but with no success. There must be something I am missing here, is anyone able to help out? I'm running Windows 7 x64 and a 16GB Nexus 5 (non-US).

Are you using the original cable? Have you tried diffetent usb ports and different cables?
Also, on the start menu of windows 7 type "Device manager", click it and try to see if it detects the phone when you plug it.

Yes, I should have mentioned that before, tried different cables. The original as well as another lying around. It does show up in device manager, and I have done the manual upgrade to point it to the Google USB drivers but still no success.

I have an SCH-i535 running CM-11, M3-SNAPSHOT. My desktop is running Linux Mint 16 in one partition and Win 7 in another.
I cannot get the phone to show up when plugged into a USB hub. It isn't simply that MTP is not working, but that the USB connection doesn't even show up in dmesg. I have android debugging turned on and have tried to connect via adb in recovery also. In no situation have I been able to establish any sort of USB connection since changing to M3. Setting/toggling MTP under settings>>storage>>menu>>USB computer connection also fails.
I have also tried to connect from my Win 7 partition and nothing shows up at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than going back to 10.2?

I did not have an issue with the M7 snapshot. I have not yet tried for the M8.
Hi
My Fit device got bricked while I was doing factory reset. It was on some custom ROM. Now it is not going into Recovery mode and not booting into Normal mode. It displays a Blank Screen at boot. The only thing I can do is go into Downloading mode.
But My Windows 10 x64 laptops with USB2 ports are not able to recognize the device properly. I tried various versions of Kies and Kies3 s/w. I also tried Samsung Mobile USB Drivers different versions. I tried installing/uninstalling them in different sequences and rebooting my system in between... But no success.
I Also tried Windows XP SP3 inside virtual machine. But Kies setup fails giving error that it can not connect to internet. Although my connection works fine from inside the VM.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
