Hi, I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 P3113 (Wifi only model). I am unable to put the table in Mass Storage mode in Win7. I have tried both with checking and unchecking "USB debugging" in Settings, but neither has worked. Win7 does not even detect the device, hence cant even see it in Odin. Any suggestions on what I can do next?
Note: There is no option available under wireless and networks for "USB settings"
Your Win7 box should be seeing the Tab as an MTP device. I don't know if anyone has been able to make a mass storage mode work, but you could look here and then poke around the web for more.
have u installed driver?
if u didnt, install Kies then try again

Quite strange, MTP should work out of the box on Win 7. It's not mass storage, but well, it's almost the same from a user perspective. At my workplace, I did not install any Samsung piece of software and it just works. I plug the thing, it works.
Could you test with another cable? These can be found dirt cheap (3.5€ in France).
Or test on a different USB port on your machine. Some are very finicky.
Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I did look at the suggested related threads and many other forums.
Ultimately, I am trying to root my son's Galaxy Tab 2 7" (wifi only) but I am falling at the first hurdle. When I plug the phone via USB to the laptop it claims the USB has malfunctioned and the device cannot be recognised, however, all my USB ports work perfectly. I have also installed the latest Samsung Drivers on the laptop (running Windows 8).
When I go to the Settings menu of the tab itself, there is NO USB connection settings at all, in any sub-menu and so I can't even check if it is set up to allow transfer. I have factory wiped in the hope that some updates removed this option, as I do recall (perhaps wrongly) that I was able to connect when we first purchased the device.
Is this a common issue with the Tab 2, or is it an issue with my set-up. If already known is there a solution, or is he doomed to walk stock for all eternity?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
If I'm not mistaken you actually want download mode, not usb, in order to flash a custom recovery via Odin. I think it's power plus vol down while plugging the phone to computer (phone is off).

Brand New Unlocked S8+... Tried to connect it to my PC to use a previous copy of smart switch backup but it never connects.. Windows Explorer never displays a mounted drive either. Smart Switch Eventually comes back with Failed to connect to the device.
The Phone displays the "Attention The connected device is unable to access data pm this device. Reconnect the USB cable and try again...."
Phone is on Transfer Media files (MTP)
USB Debugging is one.
Device Manager says "Samsung Android Phone - SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" two times - No red or yellow exclamations.
I've removed the software in device manager and restarted both the phone and the laptop multiple times.
I updated Smart Switch and did More\Reinstall Device Driver.
Does anyone else have any workarounds for this? I found one article (https://www.recovery-android.com/connect-samsung-to-computer.html) but still no success.
I actually have the exact same issue on windows 10. Anyone figured out a solution?
Doesn't seem like there is much help here on the 2 Samsung formums I posted on....
I know its not my windows profile as I have tried 3 different profiles as well as safe mode.
Tried 2 different sets of Samsung USB drivers and no improvement.
Like I said I had no issues on a windows XP machine or a windows 10. I didn't even need to install the USB drivers/Smartswitch on either of those machines.
We can't be the only 2 people!

Firstly, i cannot give you direct answers.
Just my thoughts.
i have a S8+. No root stock as is.
I have Lenovo laptop Win 10.
From day one, out of box, i connected
S8+ and it connected. I can do whatever
i want. Transfer data, photos videos.
ADB etc
So it should work...?
However i do realize there are quite a few things to consider......
Samsung drivers on laptop and a few other
issues..... eg
For one,
have you enabled
in Phone /Settings /Developers Option /Usb debugging.?
Normally first time when you connect
With pc /laptop you should get
a small pop-up message(on device) to allow
phone to connect.?
(that's my experience, over years)
Good luck
Yes, USB Debugging is on and connection is set to MTP.
Windows recognizes "USB Android" but dosnt install the driver successfully.
It will appear as a modem in Device manager but nothing is mountable.
I have 2 desktop pcs with win 10. One with samsung software Kies 3 and smart switch installed and the other no samsung software. Both find the device Galaxy S8+, in device manager under universal serial device controllers i have Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device. You have an adb driver I think because you have usb debugging on, i would turn usb debugging off. The pc should find a device connected to the usb and download a driver, once done the device is recognised as galaxy S8+ in my case but will not communicate with the pc until the phone has given permission. On the phone will be a message asking you to allow the connection. Hope this helps ??

Firstly i do understand that you
must be quite annoyed trying to figure
out issues. (I would) Thankfully i don't.
Bottom line is that it should work..!
My experience confirms, that S8+/laptop Win 10 works.... 100%when connected
However a few suggestions.
If you feel you checked all checkbox.?
However you never said anything
about popup notice ? granting premission
for device to connect.?
So device /laptop /pc is not "seeing" each other?
All Samsung devices I have used, first time connection gives me this popup a notice
Can't remember exact wording.
Something... eg
Device id 5786446.......
Have or does your other Samsung devices
connect etc.?
Have you tried connecting to a friend pc laptop.
An option is to go to a Samsung Care Center
and as them to test and connect.
My experience (in past) is that they should
assist you.
If it connects to friend pc or Service provider /Samsung Care Centre.
Then surely it has to be your pc/laptop?
So I turned off usb debugging and revoked the permissions on the phone, connected it to my PC.
Samsung Android (with a Yellow Exclamation) was already present in Device Manager under "other devices" so I uninstalled that.... and rescanned. My laptop attempted to reinstall but it generated a Driver Installation Failed message on "SAMSUNG_Android" - no driver found.
Device Manager once again shows the Yellow Exclamation Point
I would go on to Samsung support look up the phone and download the usb driver and install from the download. Good luck
I've downloaded the drivers from Samsung 2x.

I can vaguely remember that i had this same
issues with my Note 5 and Win 10.
This was many months/year or two, ago.
I also had yellow exclamation etc.
Further in Device manager( laptop) kept installing wrong Samsung drivers.!
I uninstalled drivers/installed and battle for a few months like this Then one day Windows
did an update and in update i noticed
Samsung drivers included etc. (must have been correct)
Ever since that update i had no issues again.
Bottom line... some drivers issue?
Not S8 +?
Good luck

In the past I had this problem I downloaded USBDeview to my PC and deleted all of the old Samsung drivers, after rebooting the PC the phone was able to connect with the PC.
Tried USBDeview and removing the Samsung drivers but no difference
Still unable to connect.
I'm having this problem as well. I'm still trying to work it out, but when I remove and re-add the device through Device Manager I get this error: "An existing device was found that is a duplicate of the device being manually installed" and the device DOES connect as a camera, just not for full file transfer.
I had the same problem and tried many of the fixes, including different USB cables and different computers and different phones. I finally figured out that the case I had on the S8+ was the problem (at least for me). I took it off and everything works.
Hi, i have a pc with windows 10 . In device manager under universal serial device controllers i have Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device. i think you should meet best mobile shop.

I have Windows on Lenovo Laptop with latest Windows updates installed. Yesterday, I downloaded Samsung Smart Switch unlocked the phone and connected it to the laptop. Smart Switch found it immediately and I did a backup. I did not need to check Device Manager. It must be a drivers problem as mentioned above.
Note 8, getting "Attention The connected device is unable to access data pm this device."
And I am only able to see some files, Sammy is a crazy fool, this is basic stuff
installed the windows fall update a week ago now connect my phone to my laptop and nothing is recognised, no phone memory and no memory card just a empty space when i click the icon where my phone should be, i've had samsung drivers installed and they have worked fine so far till today, any ideas where to find the latest drivers? and what else i can do to get access to my phone on my laptop?
solution that worked for me
On my windows 10 PC, I opened device manager (open up start and just type 'device manager') and under portable devices there was a usb device called MTP USB device or something like that (I forget the exact name) with a small triange and an exclamation mark next to it. I clicked on that and then clicked "update drivers." When the prompt comes up I chose the automatically look for drivers option. This fixed the issue and now my Galaxy s8 is recognized (it no longer says MTP USB device or whatever it was). Hopefully this works for others as well. You can also probably download the usb drivers for the phone from samsung.
As an Linux(Arch) user , It sometimes gets to tedious to get MTP working with newer and custom optimized kernels .So I want back USB mass storage feature. The main reason is that my TV don't support MTP. I used to watch movies and videos from my old android device via USB mass storage on my TV but can't do that with MTP anymore. I am also ready root my phone or install custom ram.
I am using Samsung Galaxy J4 (SM-J400F/DS) and I don't have any Windows PC or Mac
I have experienced issues with MTP (media transfer protocol) for over a year now.. I cannot connect my S7 to my pc using mtp, as there is no mtp option avaible when usb is connected and sliding down the drop down menu, selecting the usb options..
I've tried everything, different usb cables, different computers, laptops, different usb ports, calling *#0808# to make sure my connection is set to MTP + ADP, unlocking developer and selecting MTP from usb developer settings, nothing, nothing works, and I'm getting really really frustrated with it...
Yes I have Samsung Smart View installed, but no reaction when i plug in usb.
So again, there is no MTP option for me to connect my device to my pc in order to transfer files.
The ones I do have in the menu: transfer files, transfer images, midi connection, charge phone.
Also after I connected the usb to my phone, I get a pop up on my phone screen saying: "the connected device has no acces to data on this device, try reconnect the usb cable en try again."
Any ideas? Been looking for anwsers for a while now...
Regards
Do you have any package disabler apps running, if you do make sure no MTP apps are disabled.
Also make sure your PC has Samsung USB driver installed.
Hi,
which model is your S7 ?
if it is compatible, you may try my tutorial: [GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Samsung Galaxy S7 herolte stock to Android 10 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)

I do have some apps disabeled, tho I don't think I've disabled an app that causes the issue with MTP..
What is disabled?
Briefing
Excel
Facebook
Google Drive
Google Play Films
Google Play Music
Hangouts
One Drive
PowerPoint
Samsung Gear
Samsung Health
Skype
I disabled those cause I don't really have a usecase for them

Thanks for linking me this! I do have a compatible S7 model,
But I guess I forgot to mention that my phone also does not read any sd card anymore.. And the whole reason I want MTP to work is so I can transfer all my files to my pc, in order to do a proper factory wipe and reset everything, so I can begin again with a clean install.
Thus making your tutorioul not really usefull here since I'm loosing all my data with the update..
