Need assistance getting USB connection to PC working. (I believe this will be the first step to loading a working ROM since my HD2 is bricked right now.)
Details
1) The HD2 boots to Win Mo 6.5. From there I have been running Android 22 from the SD card. The phone locked a week ago and now when I pull the battery and put it back in, pressing the power button starts to the Pink T-Mobile screen ("stick together") and goes no further - I never see the additional text details in the lower left (radio version and other info, I believe).
2) I have used the Vol up/Vol down/Power botton to do a hard reset. This had no effect on my problem.
3) I can open the Red Green Blue White screen using Vol Down/power button. It shows "Serial" in the white area when USB is not connected. It shows USB in teh white area when the USB cable is connected to a computer.
The red area shows the following 4 lines:
"PB81120 HX-B3"
"SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE"
"0x05"
"CotullaHSPL 0x40"
The above leads me to believe that I am still in a position where I can recover from this problem. BUT I can't get either of my 2 computers to connect properly via USB.
I have 2 computers - Win 7 and Win XP.
On my Win 7 - I have installed Drivers so that it no longer warns me that there is a missing USB driver - the most nagging was a Qualcomm driver. I have installed installed Windows Mobile Device Center. When I connect the HD2 to the Win 7 box via USB it WMDC never recognizes my HD2 but I do get the beeps telling me the computer knows a USB device has been attached.
On my Win XP - I have installed ActiveSync. I also have eliminated all messages of missing drivers. ActiveSync also does not recognize the HD2 when plugged in - but again, the computer beeps saying it knows a USB device was connected.
In both cases I have tried the USB connection from both the T-Mo "stick together" screen and from the Red Green Blue White screen and the PC never recognizes the HD2.
-thanks
A friend of mine has an Xperia pro he's tried to install a custom ROM on. He failed to unlock the bootloader and root it. Now it doesn't seem to start if it's not plugged into a computer, and when it it is the screen stays completely black with no indication that it's alive but the green light on the side. I'm using Windows so it makes a sound when I plug the cable into the phone, a few minutes later Windows makes a sound indication that a device has been unplugged a few seconds later it makes a sound as if a device has been plugged in. We suspect that it's in an infinite bootloop.
What he did last before it started bootlooping was "flashed the wrong kernel". I can't access the device via a computer, Windows doesn't mount(?) it nor does ADB "see" the device.

I have same phone thought I dont want custom rom on it,anyways i Google-ed around and found another thread with similar problem listed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035364
It even has same title,anyways it links you to another thread with possible solution.
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.

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.
So this scenerio happened when i tried to power up my lumia 540 after 2-3 months of inactivity ... the device gives 0 response to buttons and when i put it to charge after some minutes when i press the power button for severl seconds the device gives some vibrational feedback nothing else.. so i decided to connect it to the pc .. then at first it installed some sort of drivers and showed as usb input device .. then i disconnected and connected ones again then the device was listed as something named qualcommxxxxx driver and it downloaded some driver from internet (25mbapprox.). after it started connectimg and disconnecting automatically ... so the device connects and disconnects continously ..coz of this disconnevtion **** i cant even use the recovery software of lumia .. it shows the connected device but as it disconnects i cant flash the rom .... can someone give a solution for this issue plzzzzzz
Hello All,
I'm facing a weird issue on my S10e. After connecting the USB cable to the Windows PC for data transfer, the device will stop responding to data transfer after a minute, unless I restart it again. Get the error 0x80070141 which refers to the device not responding.
I have tried installing updated drivers, run the 'Hardware and Devices' troubleshooter, changed the USB cable and port, restarted the PC. however it does the same, works for a minute and then I cannot transfer anything to and from the PC. it also then stops showing up on Device Manager. Please help me out.
