driver question - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I posted another thread with problems with odin and my ace 2. I uninstalled all the samsung driver's, I then reinstalled the samsung driver's and i get all these missing bluetooth driver's and 2 android driver's on my device manager. I can assume this is why odin is not working can anyone help please ? I have attached an image of my device manager. Also the samsung ADB interface driver only pops up when my device is plugged into my computer.
Thanks

I don't know about the bluetooth drivers but indeed Android adb driver should work. So here is what I suggest.
Go to the Samsung Android Phone tab, and uninstall these 2 drivers in there, restart laptop, then go and download the ace 2 drivers from here and see if it works, ah btw let the phone connected during the whole process.

Thanks for the advice i followed your advice, uninstalled both the samsung and ADB then restarted my computer. I then reinstalled the drivers you provided with my device plugged in, while they were installing. I got the bluetooth drivers popup again, Also theres a new thing under my portable devices tab i will post more screenshots this is really boggling me :/

Also this popped up when installing the drivers to do with the bluetooth.....

looks like MTP won't work either eh? Well let's see if it's the phone or the pc
Firstly follow those instuctions to do some troubleshooting.
1) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=19153
3) Download the file
6) Run it
7) Follow the instuctions (NextNextNextNext)
That's it, now the MTP devices should work correctly.*
(ALSO Try de-selecting usb debugging)
If this won't work then I guess it's a problem with the phone.I read somewhere in a thread that some dude with the same problem on a samsung phone did factory wipe, wiped dalvik, and installed another ROM, then the usb drivers problem got fixed.
Good luck.
EDIT: Also check this site here it seems to have solution regarding the bluetooth peripheral thing.

none of those links work It has also stopped coming up as mtp it now just says GT-I8160. Also i noticed when i start up my computer it fails to start until i unplug it and plug it in again (attached pictures)

Also there is no android adb anymore its just the samsung one.... is this right? i appreciate your help
I am also using a 64bit version of windows 7 if that makes any difference.

Have you tried connecting the phone to some other pc just to know which one is the problem?
I've ran outta ideas...well the problem seems to be with the device itself and if not then it's probably the usb port,maybe insert to another port or try your luck on google, search for something like "windows failed to recognize android phone"or smth similar. I'll do some more research and try to help y'out tomorrow

I tried disabling usb debugging also i tried the drivers on my netbook. I am having really strange problems on there with odin i plug it in and odin wont pick it up and as soon as i unplug it it says added then removed very weird :/ thats only when the phone is in download mode....

Im thinking its either the cable or the phone. Im not sure though..

Remove all Samsung related drivers.
Restart pc
Use cccleaner to clean the registry
Reboot pc
Use the drivers that i have provided in the s advance forum in my all in one guide. Install the drivers without connecting the phone.
After the drivers are installed, turn off internet connection and then connect the phone.

Thanks for the new idea shaaan I have succesfully followed steps 1 and 2. But I am struggling to find your all in one guide would one be kind to link me ? I did a forum search with no luck. Also I am using a galaxy GT-I8160 would using the s drivers matter? and thanks for the help mojito0 I would like to think it isn't the cable or phone, as I have literaly owned them for 8 days (just over a week). I can always see if i can borrow another cable of my friend today though
edit: I found your all in one guide I am now going to attempt what you said

After removing all the samsung related drivers and restarting I get all these devices come up? The device is not plugged in either.

I dont know if this helps atall, but I finished doing what you said ignoring the drivers.... Then went to flash using odin, Put the phone into download mode and noticed that after a couple of seconds of being stuck on setup connection. It then says the GT-I8160 cannot start, Also the mtp and adb android driver is still displaying that yellow explanation mark :/ I am a newbie to android here and dont know the difference betwene the samsung adb and the android one as listed do they both need to be working?

Remove all the displayed devices from other devices, also remove that Samsung adb thingy and also there will be one Samsung related device in the usb section! Remove them all and then follow my steps.
As for your driver query, the drivers are universal for a specific range of devices. The driver version 2.0+ should work for all devices which were released in 2012

[Q] Download mode issues - not recognized

I'm having problems getting my phone recognized by Heimdall (both Windows and Mac) and Odin (Windows). Here's the situation.
I have a practically fresh install of Windows with no drivers installed. I downloaded Heimdall to try and restore my Epic that has the [Phone] ! [PC] screen. I booted it into recovery mode, ran zadig, used a non-Samsung cable, etc. Heimdall's detect button recognizes my phone. However, when I actually try and do anything, I get "Error: libusb error: -12". I've seen some posts from different forums that say this is correlated with NOT having the zadig drivers installed, so I reinstalled them and rebooted for good measure. I still have the same problem.
So, I assumed that Heimdall was a lost cause and moved on to Odin. I'm following the how to in the dev forum and I installed the drivers mentioned there (x64 as I'm on Win 7 64 bit), downloaded the TAR, and so on. I open up Odin, put my phone in download mode, plug it in... and Windows says that it's an unknown device and can't recognize it. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers several times, swapped out USB cables, and I can't find or think of anything more to do.
Help!
Okay when you open device manager and find the "unknown device" update the driver with your epic 4g drivers this will fix it hopefully... if not try and unistalling it pulling your usb out and popping out the battery and leave it out and plug in the usb and go into dlmode and it should reset things.

I'm getting a screen that says "The best software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is already up to date." and the dialog still shows Unknown Device.

Hmm that's weird sorry.... don't have a 64bit pc so I've never tried em.... I'm at a loss then... usually if you unistall it and go back into download mode it erases the previous setup and asks you for the reccommended install or advance install which is what you would want to advance install the correct drivers...

Well thanks for trying. I'm basically where I started, unfortunately: I put the phone in download mode, it tells me it's an Unknown Device, I can't update/advanced install the correct drivers, and Odin doesn't recognize my device.

Just read someone fixed this by reinstalling Windows 7. Otherwise try Heimdall. It installs it's own drivers. Check out post 2 here:

this is a direct link to the drivers needed.
Well, I got it to work with Heimdall. It seems to have been a combination of the USB cable, USB port, and drivers that caused my problems. Here's how I got it to work for those who might have this problem in the future.
1. Uninstall literally everything related to Samsung, Heimdall, Odin, etc. This means uninstall any drivers, delete all instances of Odin, Heimdall, Kies, or any other software.
2. Reboot.
3. Download the latest version of Heimdall (1.3.1).
4. Remove the battery from your Epic and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
5. Get a fresh, non-Samsung (and possibly non Amazon, as that's another one that didn't work for me) USB cable. I opened a brand new Monoprice one that I had laying around.
6. Plug in the cable to a USB port directly on your computer.
7. Hold down power and 1 while plugging in the USB cable (this is with the battery still out).
8. Run zadig.exe, which comes with Heimdall. The computer should recognize it as a Samsung composite device or "Gadget serial". Install drivers.
9. Open Heimdall and flash. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S DONE!
Great. As long as u got it to work. Excellent.

[HELP] Epic 4g win7 64 odin [HELP]

So I have done something to my epic, I don't know if it would count as bricked soft bricked or whatever but when I turn it on it bootloops on samsung logo but I can still enter download mode, So I figured I would flash a stock rom with odin and start over.
I went to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
downloaded necessary drivers
installed and tried to connect to odin
I've tried every combination of powering the phone with the computer, then putting in download mode
I've tried powering on with battery booting into download mode opening odin selecting pit and tar and then pluging it in and nothing.
when the pc does recognize the phone it says device not recognized or device malfunctioned.
I saw a post somewhere with someone saying I needed to "advanced install" the drivers. So whatever that means I tried to uninstall the device from device manager while plugged in in download mode and updating the driver to the 64bit samsung usb driver and it says "unknown device already has best driver installed"
the computer I'm using is an HP DM1-4010us not that I think it would matter.
If anyone has anymore suggestions, or can suggest a method or pattern of step by step what I need to do
maybe install the drivers in a different compatibility mode?
what about odin compatibility?
System UAC is turned off and firewall is off too just in case it may be blocking odin from communicating with comm ports so I know that can't be the issue.
Thanks for listening to my overly detailed and confused ramblings and thanks in advance for any advice or help offered.

Try a different USB port and cable the stock cable sucks azz try a blackberry cable.
Have you tried a different usb port?
I have always used the cable that came with my epic, are you using it?
I'd at least open odin, put your phone into download mode and then connect it to the PC and see if with the stock cable it is recognized. That will tell you perhaps the cable you're using isn't connecting right for odin's use.
do you have any other cell phone drivers on your PC? I've seen where they conflict. Remove all cells phone drivers, reboot, install the epic drivers for win7 64bit

Heimdall fails to install drivers or detect the device, does this with AND without the samsung 64bit drivers installed.
Try downloading kies air to get drivers.

Make sure you downloaded the drivers named "Samsung_Mobile_Drivers_V1.3.8.." if not then that's the problem, if you need it I can email you the the file. Try all the usb cables in your house and all the computers as well, and take out sd card, I've also had this odin problem and I'm also sure it's your drivers since there are like 10 samsung drivers floating around lol.
Edit: nvm I downloaded the drivers from the thread you linked and they are correct.. try different cables, no battery no sd card, and different computers

USB driver problems

hey everyone,
first of all this is my first post and im new to this so please bear with me
I just bought a T-Mobile SGH-T889 Samsung Galaxy Note II running on Android 4.1.1 with build # JRO03C.T889UVALJ1
I am having some troubles connecting my phone to my computer via the the included usb cable
whenever I connect try to connect my phone to the computer, it would search for updates to install drivers but it would always say that the driver software was not installed due to no drivers found. from what I understand, they should be Samsung drivers but for some reason, mine says:
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM X No driver found
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM X No driver found
I did several searches on the forums but have yet to find a solution or driver for my phone. please help!
I have looked into this thread but the driver provided for the root kit is for Samsung V 1.5.9.0
Thanks!
Welcome to the forum!
I'd say to try uninstalling any Samsung drivers from your pc, then restart it. Go to the Samsung site and download the latest USB drivers. The ones provided in the kit usually work, and I'm not sure the ones on the site are any newer.
Once that is done, if you are still having problems, try a different USB cable.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I had similar issues all I did was Change to another USB port.
Also I did a complete shutdown of the PC & phone not just a reboot.
thanks for the quick replies
I have tried several times or rebooting both the phone and the computer after installing the drivers but to no avail...
I have also tried changing to all the different usb ports on my computer but still no luck
I will try to find another cable in the house to see if that will work.
Will the samsung usb drivers work though? because i have tried those several times, the ones from the root kit as well as the ones from the samsung website but it still doesnt detect it. Are there qualcomm drivers available?
some other information that I forgot to mention earlier, I am running Windows 7 64-bit
sometimes when I connect the phone to the pc, it would load up this driver --> Qualcomm HS-USB Modem 9004 Driver
but then when i disconnect it, it wont detect it again...
a solution im thinking is maybe i should reset the phone to factory default settings? would that help?
For whatever reason, your pc is not recognizing the phone correctly. Can I ask, have you installed drivers for another phone on that pc in the past? What flavor of Windows are you running? Are you up-to-date? Have you tried disabling your firewall temporarily? Finally, try booting up in safe-mode and connecting the phone. That should let you see what it thinks your phone is when no drivers are installed.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I had a Blackberry before but I had already removed all the software and drivers for it before getting the note 2 and I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and they are up to date. I will try disabling my firewall and safe mode once i get home.
I re-read the tool-kit instructions and noticed i missed something. Am I supposed to put the phone into download or recovery mode before connecting the USB to the computer (after installing the USB drivers)?
I will have to try that once i get home as well... but I still dont understand why it shows up as qualcomm drivers instead of Samsung drivers
anyways thanks for the suggestions I will let you know how it turns out.
This problem is likely due to Samsung's USB cable, as noted in other threads.
Change the usb cable before trying anything else....
ok so i got the drivers to install finally...what i did was boot the phone in to download mode then connect the phone to my computer via usb cable and it worked...but for some reason it doesnt detect it when i launch the rootkit it does not detect my serial number
If i restart my phone normally, and then try to detect the phone again on the computer it will not detect it and goes back to saying the qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM is missing drivers again...
So the only way for it to detect the drivers is in download mode but i cant seem to get the rootkit to detect my phones serial number

Windows doesn't "see" note 2.

Good Evening folks,
I'm posting here after spending the better part of 2 days trying to figure out why this doesn't work.
So, i have the following:
model: GT-N7100
Version: 4.1.1
Build: JRo03C - ALJ1
I run a PC with windows 7 and also have a laptop with windows 8.
Now, initially i only wanted to root my device to install an addblocker on it and get rid of some bloatware. so i went and got samsung note2 toolkit here on XDA. (also tried others)
but no matter how i tried the pc (nor laptop) would see the note 2. it would plug in, it would charge... but windows ignored it otherwise.
i have tried al 8 of my USB ports on the desktop, and all 3 on the laptop. none of them work
3 different USB cables.
re-booted more then times then i can count.
i have manually installed the samsung drivers.
i have tried installing the windows MTP Porting kit
all to no avail.
So before i can even START to root... i need it to to play nice with my machines... anyone have ANY suggestions on what the hell is going on here.

What's the error message?
Happened to me before, un install kies on your pc reboot, download from Samsung website and install again, should work
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
first of all I forgot to mention that this should've been posted in Q&A section
for the problem try the following steps. after each one of them try connecting again. keep net disconnected while you follow the steps.
if it starts working then stop other wise continue.
1)use a diff comp, but you already did that , use a different cable, you didn't mention it
2)try uninstalling drivers via programs and features.
3)try installing drivers - preferably via mskip's toolkit
if you have windows 7, then directly install it
if you have windows 8, then first disable driver signature enforcement via this guide's last question.
4)try re installing windows. if you don't wanna do that then
open device manager
in view -> show hidden devices
delete each one that says samsung, note ii or note 2, android, google, adb, gt-n7100, n7100
this will ensure that you truly remove drivers
follow step 3) after this.
Hope I helped
All the usual and helpful ideas have been listed and you should definitely work thru those to make sure you are not missing something obvious but critical. I also use Win8 (64) and all was well with my Note2 showing up as an MTP device and wll working then one day, seemingly spontaneously, it suddenly didnt! When I would plug my Note2 in, Windows would give me a USB error telling me it could nto recognise the device! To cut a long story short, I tried my wife's S2 and IT appered fine as an MTP device happily enough, so that ruled out the cable, the port and the computer/OS.
I then tried my Note2 on my laptop, and once again it came up as USB error, so the problem was following the DEVICE around....
After a lot of googling, I tried on thing that fixed it instantly:
On the phone, go into Settings, Security and delete all the "Device Administrators" which in my case was just my Email app. That did delete my email account from my phone (contacts, email etc) but didnt matter as phone is just a dumb client to the mail server so no loss of any real data.
Once removed, I then plugged phone in and BOOM! MTP device happily appeared! I then went back in and just re-added my email account and re-activated Device Administrator when asked. Working ever since.
Not saying this is your problem, but it was an eye opener to me that the Device Administrator could 'lock out' the USB connection of the device....
Hope this helps.

I would also recommend checking your Windows Update log - especially if you have it set to automatic updates. After I installed the drivers off of the Samsung website, Windows Update tried to "Update" my drivers to an older version (I do manual Windows Updates). The first time it asked, I let it, and my phone couldn't connect anymore. Once I stopped that silliness I stopped having problems.

but no matter how i tried the pc (nor laptop) would see the note 2. it would plug in, it would charge... but windows ignored it otherwise.
i have tried al 8 of my USB ports on the desktop, and all 3 on the laptop. none of them work
3 different USB cables.
re-booted more then times then i can count.
i have manually installed the samsung drivers.
i have tried installing the windows MTP Porting kit
all to no avail.
So before i can even START to root... i need it to to play nice with my machines... anyone have ANY suggestions on what the hell is going on here.

I was having the same problem, but I was using a USB cord that I had from my old phone. Switched to the white one that came with my Note 2 and it started working.

[Q] Galaxy Ace II cannot be detected by PC (XP/W7/W8)

Hello, I'm the new guy, kind of (I'm new to this forum but somewhat a technological handyman, so to speak).
I had recently obtained a Samsung Galaxy Ace II, everything was going good on the phone, hell, it's what? Two years old now? Anyway, I noticed the immense trouble I've been having trying to get several Windows PCs/laptops to detect anything from the phone, no driver updates, installations, not even from the trustworthy SAMSUNG Kies application. It is becoming a real problem as I really want to keep this phone, root it, installing several ROMs as I go along, but no, the computers won't even allow me to access the contents of my SD card through USB.
(Note: I have manually downloaded and installed SAMSUNG USB drivers and pooft, still nothing!)
I have tried quite a few methods to allow the PCs to establish a connection with the phone e.g. Dialing "*#7284#*, accessing "PhoneUtil", choosing "PDA" as the good mode, even switching to "MODEM" then back to "PDA"; Uninstalling/Reinstalling drivers; Attempting Kies.
I guess I am on the look out for a new-ish phone to replace this, which saddens me as I love being able to root, install various ROMs, Kernels etc, personally I like this phone too, more than my Spica running ICS (couldn't be too hard though, it wasn't stable whatsoever).
If anyone on this board could find a solution to this problem for me, I would be ever so grateful, I don't doubt it though, I love the work of XDA. Thank you.
Turn off the phone with no cable attached, press volume down, home and power at the same time and then volume up to put it in ODIN mode and connect it to the PC (use windows vista or newer so it auto installs the driver) It should install something like Samsung USB serial device. Tell if it works
Do I have to load it into ODIN mode whilst Odin is running on my PC?

For this test you dont need ODIN on the PC. Its only to see if the PC recognizes the phone

I just tested this and it appears not to be working, whatsoever. Is it necessary to have all SAMSUNG USB drivers installed on the PC?
Thank you for the idea, though. I just really want to root/mod my phone, ugh.

Windows should auto install the drivers. Connect the phone to the PC and see in device manager if there is something like an unknoen device or Samsung USB device

Thank you for the help, although my problem is not dealt with still. I have completed the steps that you had suggested, thoroughly and repeatedly, yet there is no hope for a permanent, or even temporary fix for my mobile.
Windows isn't displaying any correlation between my PC and phone, no driver software auto-installs and no sign of the device being located in the Device Manager, not even under an "Unknown device".
Is this a problem for most Ace II devices? Or am I missing something that is too obvious to consider so seriously?
Porobu once told me something like:
1. Uninstall kies and sammy usb drivers
2. Install kies again, it should promt to install USB drivers.
3. Plug in phone to pc in DL mode.
I'm not sure what you mean in your 1st post so im assuming you have yet to try this. Works for me
When do I plug the USB into the phone and boot my phone into download mode? As soon as the drivers are installed via Kies?

After kies installation complete(dont have to open), boot phone to download mode, connect to cable and plug to pc
It sounds like a broken microusb port but try something first.
Download ubuntu or any other live cd linux distro
Boot it on your pc. You dont need to install anything.
Open a terminal
*Plug the phone while it is turned on to the PC
Write in the terminal 'lsusb' without the quotes and press enter
Something like Samsung android device or MTP device should appear.
If it doesnt appear power off the phone and go to odin mode and repeat from the * the steps
