Driver - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

What type of drivers are there for the S3?
I understand that you need drivers installed on the computer for it to reecognize the S3
How many driver are there?
Are there any more aside from this?
Where can i download these drivers?
I think ADB has a driver for thisas well?
Thanks!

Here is the link to the Driver package for i747 and i747m (AT&T/Bell/Rogers/Telus) With this, you don't need Keis...unless you want to use Keis. Also, TRY a WINDOWS UPDATE after installing this driver package.
I found their to be side issues on my Win7 and XP pc's....too long a story. If you have issues, I will send you a link.

Thanks mad producer. Is this driver package all the drivers I'll need?
I noticed these drivers are from the samsung site.
Are there any custom drivers or drivers for rooted phone, on custom roms etc?
Are there different kinds/type, I recall reading about ADB drivers or ADB connections.
Can you also send me the link to the issues with the drivers?
Thanks a bunch!

If/when you need ADB (I don't use it) then just look around for ADB. I don't have a link for that.
When I first connected my S3 to my Win7, XP, 2nd XP machine, each one had an issue with the MTP protocol. This is what's used to transfer files to and from phone internal and external storage. I did my homework and massive experimenting and solved the issues. (pretty pathetic really) I just don't have a turn key absolute solution but here are some tips. Try one or all of these till it works...and it WILL!
(Backup your PC before attempting and use at your own risk)
XP
- plug your Ss in via usb
- install the samsung drivers
- after any/each of these steps, unplug/replug usb S3 to PC
- check Device Manager in XP for any Yellow exclamation marks. If there are none, then go see if you can transfer large files (eg mp3) to your S3 and back via USB
- if you can then your done
- if not, download this and install
- if it's still not working, (which I doubt) then update windows. After the Samsung drivers are installed on some windows machines, windows updates provides a specific update that helps. I watched it happen/work on 2 machines.
- still not working, get ready....sounds crazy...but install Windows Media Player 11. It is tied into the MTP framework somehow. This is the version I used
Win7
- plug your Ss in via usb
- install the samsung drivers
- after any/each of these steps, unplug/replug usb S3 to PC
- check Device Manager in Win7 for any Yellow exclamation marks. If there are none, then go see if you can transfer large files (eg mp3) to your S3 and back via USB
- if you can then your done
- if it's still not working, (which I doubt) then update windows. (remember to unplug/replug usb after.
- install wmp11 or higher
- if it's still not working, try this file (sorry...can't elaborate on it)
- STILL NOT WORKING...doubt it...but last chance, download this file and place it into c/windows/inf directory and reboot.

[Q] USB Cant Connect,Code10 ? ? ?

I am having problems with my EPIC 4g Touch and my desktop connecting properly to be able to transfer files and such (Code10).
USB Debugging is on and the latest Epic4g Touch Drivers are installed from the Samsung Site.
Upon Connecting my Phone (Regardless of which port or cable), i get the following
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
If i disable both of the composite devices and then enable them manually, the majority of the time they will work and show up in my computer as drives This doesn't occur on other computers, i am assuming its some sort of driver issue ?
Help would be appreciated.

You can see if there is an package to uninstall under add/remove programs or you can try using system restore to go back to an earlier point before you started installing the drivers.
I've been able to randomly replicate this problem on my epic and have not been able to figure out how to fix it. I ended up setting up a virtualbox VM with 32bit windows and it works fine. When I do a 64bit VM it works sometimes, and others not.
I have Uninstalled all of the Android items in device manager and used control panel add/remove programs to remove the Samsung Drivers with little changes to the behavior.
I am looking for a better way to clean out the driver installs ? ?

[Q] adb devices strange issue, not detecting

Solution:
If you were like me, you couldn't get ADB working no matter what you did with the drivers. As it turns out, I was plugging it into a USB 3 port on my motherboard. I have the USB 3 drivers installed, but there seems to be an adb issue with USB 3 ports. be warned, my issue is now fixed (I probably don't even need them bootleg drivers either). Thank You XDA.
Alright, so I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus (coming from Thunderbolt) today only to find out that my sdk will not detect my phone in adb devices. Now, I have the Thunderbolt and Eris working fine with it, but the NExus seems a little stubborn. Here are the steps I have taken:
1. Plug in phone, wait for win7 (x64) to install all the drivers... Success
1a. MTP and PTP both installed, using MTP for the rest.
2. Turn on debugging on my phone one more driver... Success
3. Went to the GNex Samsung support page to download and install that driver... Success
4. Go into Device Manager, everything is A-OK, drivers all happy
5. Open up my sdk prompt and type adb devices and 1 device is found, offline
6. Type it in again, nothing, maybe a glitch?
So there is nothing wrong in Device Manager, no Windows Updates, SDK works fine, but no device under adb devices. This is honestly the strangest thing ever.
If you have any special instructions regarding drivers, please be specific, stating "update your driver" doesn't really help.
Oh, and this is my first post I believe.
Update your drivers :laugh:
Right Click the "Android" option and select Update Driver. Choose to "Browse My Computer" and "Let Me Pick From A List." Pick the Samsung driver with the newest date and install it.
Srsly though...
If that doesn't work...try the PDAnet option.
My sig has a link.
Install PADnet and plug your phone in.
Then check that the new driver is the one in use.
@ OP, did you restart your PC after installing the drivers? If not, that may cause an issue. As well, you could always restart the ADB daemon. Type:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
As for drivers, I personally would not recommend using any package that installs crapware other software along with the driver (such as the PDA drivers). Chance are if the package comes with an .exe extension, it contains other software. 1wayjonny has packaged the driver by itself here. Those are clean drivers with nothing extra to cause any issues. I recommend those, but (as with anything that works well) you need to manually install it, i.e., right-click on the device listed in Device Manager and select update, and browse to the location where you unzipped the driver. This needs to be done TWICE: once when your device is booted in fastboot mode, and once when booted normally.

Alright, so I have done the following:
Uninstalled all Samsung Drivers through Device Manager
Unplugged phone
uninstalled those official Samsung drivers for the GNex (available for download on their site)
Plug phone back in, both MTP and Nexus unknown
install the 1wayjonny driver... Success (It's now under Android Device in Device Manager)
adb still doesn't work... f*ck
reboot phone into fastboot (vol +/- & power)
install 1wayjonny driver... success
fastboot device recognized by 'fastboot devices' and commads work.
I believe the issue is with the MTP device as it is not recognized so therefore I can't access the phone storage. So far the only way I can get MTP working is by using the official Samsung driver, but that overrides the ADB driver by 1wayjonny (no way around it, even through uninstallation and choosing the 1wayjonny driver, Samsung one is more 'recent').
In the attachment you can see that the MTP device has no driver and therefore is unavailable.
Thank you so much for the help so far.
UPDATE: MTP Driver downloaded through Windows Update, divice still not showing up in adb. Actually when I first run adb devices after kill-server it finds the device as offline, but as soon as I type 'adb devices' again, it's gone. poof.

MTP device not showing

Hi, I just flashed the 4.4 official image from google. Still on stock recovery.
I do plan to install custom recovery to flash some custom rom now.
However, when I try to plug my tablet in laptop (windows 7 64bit), all i hear is that ding sound, hover over the usb devices i would see nexus 7, but it is not showing in the Windows Explorer.
PTP would show, but MTP wouldnt, with or without usb debugging enabled.
I tried to update my usb driver from google via SDK, i uninstalled first before upgrading so its a clean install, however i am still stuck here.
Any other solution?

If you have Wugfrest Root Kit, in there Click Full Driver Installation Guide - Automatic + Manual and follow his instruction.
Or you can uninstall the driver and update the driver yourself to a specific location on your computer. (this method i used) I run Win 7, and it would detect Nexus 7 but fail, when it told me to update driver i went to the folder where i put the drivers. Eventually you will find the right driver. Its a pain in butt to get the drivers to work sometimes.

[Q] My 8.4 wifi can't connect to windows 7 pc

I have recently root my samsung tab pro 8.4 wifi version. Everything seems to work well, except USB connection to my windows7 desktop. I installed the latest version of Samsung usb driver (download from Samsung's web site for my device). Whenever I connect it, media device mode, the "installing device driver software" icon spins for couple of minutes, then I got the error of "Device driver software was not successfully installed" . In the detail dialog window, it says "MTP USB Device" failed with a red cross. what did I do wrong? thanks.
I have tried several different USB 2 ports on my computers. Also I have Developer mode turned on, with or w/o USB debugging checked. Nothing seems to work. Also the camera mode doesn't work either.
Did you install kies 3 from samsung?, this should install all the drivers you need.
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
I tried with this version of kies from samsung's website, not working. Got the same failed to install device driver message.
In windows device mananger, it shows a MTP USB device with yellow "!" mark on it. If I try to update driver from here with the driver installed on my computer, it says I have the latest driver installed already.

Try going to Device Manager in Windows, find the device, pick the option to select from the drivers on the computer, then pick the "USB MTP drivers" (generic, not Samsung) and see if that helps.

thanks for your help. I tried your suggestion, and
I went to the Device Manager, and select the "MTP USB Device" with yellow "!" mark, choose this menu,
Update driver software->Browse my computer for driver software->let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
I see two drivers, however either works for my 8.4 pad. It says "This device cannot start (code 10)"
Also when I open the properties for this device in device manager, it shows its driver running is from Microsoft, driver version 6.1.7600.16385. Should be a driver from Samsung?

Are you running stock TouchWiz ROM? Just to be sure.
Otherwise you could remove all your USB drivers related to Android and start from scratch with just the Sammy driver. I had to do that for my previous OnePlus One, it just wouldn't connect. It chose a wrong driver each time I hooked it up so I had to just remove those from the driver store and then make it choose another one. That was for ADB thought, but I guess it couldn't hurt to try anyways.
The reason I'm mentioning if you're on stock ROM is because this morning, on CM nightly 01-24 I had some troubles with my tablet being read by Windows, it was fixed in 26 so.. Just wanted to mention it.

Yes, I am on the stock TouchWiz ROM, but I rooted it following steps from one thread in this forum. Before rooting, I was able to connect. I do have a LG G3 phone connecting to the same computer successfully. Will this cause any problem? Will going to CM ROM solve my problem?
Also, can you tell me steps to remove all my USB drivers related to Android in Windows 7?

It may work to install CM11 or CM12, BUT try this toolfirst (uploaded to my personal box account) Find all your mobile device drivers in this list and mark them and go to "File" and click "Uninstall marked drivers", restart your PC and plug in your tablet. Then try plugging in LG after so it gets drivers later. I'm not sure if it will work. But it should apply new drivers. If it doesn't work, uninstall the drivers one more time and download the Samsung drivers from 3rd party and install them and apply then manually to your tablet through Device Manager in Windows.

Its always a possibility. I'd try to uninstall the LG drivers. You can always re-install later (if needed).
In a perfect world, the Sammy drivers would be what you want. But this is of course not a perfect world. I've had better luck using the "generic" Microsoft MTP USB drivers over the HTC drivers on my HTC devices.

Glad you sorted it out, to some degree or other.
USB connectivity on Android devices is very tricky, at least on Windows (can't speak on other OSes). My HTC phone connects fine to my work laptop with the HTC drivers. On my home computer (also Win7) it frequently drops adb connection and I have to manually select the "generic" Microsoft drivers to make it work (and the HTC drivers never seemed to work completely right either). My Sammy Pro 8.4 seems to connect just fine to my home PC, however. So it seems its just a crap shoot what kind of connectivity you will get, really.

Thanks for your reply, but drivers are already installed.
When I'm connecting to a different laptop running Windows 10 (where drivers are not installed), there the MTP is working normally.
But not in my laptop running Windows 7.

Uninstall the drivers on the laptop with Win 7 and reboot the laptop, thereafter reinstall the drivers using the tool stated above for MTP . Occasionally the drivers are not installed duly (i.e. Device manager may not indicate the exclamation (We may presume the drivers are appropriately loaded,when in fact the contrary usually occurs) mark or error for the driver) but the transfer of data will be precluded.
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for Win 7 laptop for resolution.
Thank you
