I have
Samsung S6, 5.0.2, rooted
Samsung T705, 5.0.2, rooted
I have the USB drivers installed - the ones you need to flash with ODIN.
The S6 is not recognised by the PC at all via USB.
The T705 presents via USB the following directories

so works as fully as expected. The directories are R/W as they should be.
Is this normal?
Is there any way to access the phone's stuff over USB - at least the DCIM directory (photos)? Presently I can do it but only over wifi (various methods).
The computers I have here all run winXP SP3 but the fact that the T705 works fine suggests that win7 etc would not help.
I think you need to reinstall the samsung usb drivers:

I did - makes no difference. I even installed the S6 specific ones. The T705 continues to be visible but the phone isn't.

I am having a problem plugging my Note2 into multiple PCs - USB2 and USB3 ports both tried, multiple pcs and laptops tried.
All running Windows 7 (Pro or Enterprise). The N2 is bone stock, no root yet.
It makes the sound like it sees the USB, but fails installing all of the drivers, and never brings up the window to explore the SD contents.
I have tried multiple drivers - the S3 driver that some said would be no issue does not work. Different carrier versions do not work.
Last I checked, there was no verizon version driver available.
Here is my process.
I plug it in.
It says Connected as Installer
I pull the window down, choose MTP.
It tries to install different drivers
Never completes in Windows, says failed.
I have tried with debugging checked and without.
I have tried aftermarket cables (namebrand and off-brand) as well as OEM cables from the S2, S3 and Note2.
I've removed hidden USB devices and plugged it into multiple different USB ports to try and get it to work.
Any ideas guys? Are you guys plugging your Note 2's in and are able to browse the internal storage no prob through windows ? If so, how?
nothing?
Simmilar USB connecting issues
My Note 2 does connect as a MTP media device with "directories" Card & Phone, via win7
But I want to connect the sd card as a standard usb mappable drive just like every other phone I ever had.
It seem Android used to allow this but now may not. Or I haven't found the magic setting.
I had a similar issue after I flashed the rooted image, I had to disable USB debugging in developer options, restart the phone and laptop to get it to connect as MTP
I checked the Samsung S3 on several occasions and could see the content of the sdcard0 (internal memory) and the removable SD card from the Windows Explorer on a desktop PC with Windows 7 using USB via the MTP protocol.
I did not download or delete anyting via USB.
I noticed both memories were a bit low on space and a few folders on the external card had files I could not understand, so I searched the Play Store for apps that would let me view details (like file and folder sizes) on the external sdcard. I used these apps to read the sdcard, but did not get any wiser.
I then obtained AirDroid from the Play Store and transferred files from S3 to the PC, but did not delete from or upload anything to the S3. AirDroid worked fine. I decided to use USB to delete S3 files a few days later. Before that I used the the PC for a couple days for reading online newspapers from Firefox, but did not do anything that should have changed the workings of the USB. There were a few Windows 7 updates (initiated at PC logoff) that progressed normally with no warnings about incompatible files etc. A few days later I noticed the USB connect to S3 had stopped working. For example I did not see the Auto-play dialog on the PC and nothing from the S3 showed in the Windows Explorer. I used the the USB data cable that came with the Samsung S3.
However, the the Windows Explorer USB connect still worked for a ZTE Blade III using the USB cable that came with the ZTE on the same PC.
Q1. how do I make Windows Explorer see the S3 again?
Q2. what may have been the cause? (can I download android apps or do something on the Windows 7 PC to help to pin-point the problem).

Install Samsung USB drivers

Thanks JJEgan,
What and from where should I download? The S3 USB connect was working for weeks. Could a faulty update from Microsoft have caused this? The S3 is not rooted.
I have downloaded from the Play Store that I assume contains well-behaved programs only, or are there play-store programs that are known to interfere with the USB by design/accident when they run. The PC Windows Explorer USB connect worked with the ZTE Blade 3 mobile after the S3 had gone wrong. If I install Samsung USB drivers is there a risk the ZTE USB connect would go wrong too/instead? I don't know what is required, so I might make the problem worse by downloading the wrong libraries or not doing it the right way.
Is there some program/app I can install on either the PC or Android that would pull in USB libraries and dependencies automatically, a bit like Synaptic package managers in Ubuntu?
Hello,
As you can see in the title I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s2. Until 2 days ago, everything was working fine. My phone was connected to pc via USB cable. As I was working as it was poping up with the autoplay.
My brother did walk on the room and "took it in his legs"(if you know what i mean).
Problem:
Now the phone is only charging at PC via usb. I am not able to do it to connect via usb storage or any other way. I did buy an usb cable but in vain.
What i have tried:
-buy a new usb cable
-reinstall usb drivers from xda/samsung/google/kies/
-clean the usb
-clean the usb from phone
-#7248... method
-tryied to connect on virtual machine with windows 7(hoping for autoinstall autoplay)
-update windows media player
-debug onn, debugg off
I am using Win XP sp3. Also after unistall and reinstall the drivers i get the message with usb not reconized and windows asks me to search the drivers for Multimedia controller and multimedia video controller.
Note:
Multimedia controller and multimedia video controller are asked by Windows only after I connect phone to pc when reinstalling usb drivers.

Replace USB board/port (but you need to get the correct part - search for similar threads to get the info you need; this has been discussed here a lot this year).
What version of Android are you running?
If it's 4.22 or 4.3 then go to Settings/Storage. click 'menu' and change USB settings on the phone from MTP to USB/Camera/PTP
Then it should show up as an external usb device.
XP is bad at recognising MTP (media device) so just set it to register as a Camera or usb storage in settings.
I am not using android 4.22 or 4.3. I am using android 4.1.2 and i do not have that option.
Until i will get another comments i will order a new USB board.
I installed Windows XP 64 on my work computer and I can't connect properly with the data cable anymore. The computer recognizes the phone but it either thinks it's a camera or a media device, and the stupid windows default software that comes up for cameras or media devices doesn't let me just copy files from the computer to the phone's SD card like explorer. When I had XP 32 bit installed the data cable worked fine. How do I get the computer to recognize the phone as a generic device again or a gadget serial or whatever?
Try going to Samsung's website and downloading the drivers.

yes I know about that.
The explorer type interface came up correctly for a Vibrant last night. I didn't think that you had to install a separate driver for every different phone. Also works with Odin.
Device manager lists a samsung android adb interface as installed correctly.
The computer makes a device connect beep when I connect the i717.
But for whatever reason, when I connect the i717, I get a choice between accessing it as a camera or a media device in windows and either gets something that limits me to the DCIM folder or windows media player and neither one lets me put roms on the card. this looks like some kind of windows thing.
I have upgraded my Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 tablet, GT-P5110, to Marshmallows with a Custom Rom, CM13. A smooth process. which appeared successfull. However with two problems. The system is very unstable. It crashes and restarts frequently for no obvious reason. This behaviuor is so disturbing that the upgrade must be considered a mistake. Is there a remedy?
Also I cannot t usb-connect to a W10 PC with the driver installed via Kies. A unit correctly labelled GT-5110 appears (icon displays a music device!!) but the folder, expected to show the files, is empty. The unit is clearly not identified correctly. USB has been set to MTP on the tablet. Trying the Samsung MTP driver available in W10 does not help. I have also enabled Android debugging (ADB) in the tablet with no difference. An error in the CM13 installation? Or is a different Samsung driver needed? I can get around some the problem by using the networking capabilities of the ES filehandler but still the error is annoying.
