hi everyone . i have question Is there any way to connect samsung mini to pc without installing bunch of samsung usb drivers? i heard once that there was software which comes for rooted phone that will make ur device that wont need usb drivers installed on pc!!.. im sick of this issue due to i just switched from nokia to samsung and this problem is annoying for me(and im sure for everyone). nokia didn't have this problem!! help someone.
You have to have some kind of drivers. Just download kies and install it, then try to connect your device and the drivers are installed. I saw windows downloading some drivers when I first connected it but idk...
Its one time installation and you don't need to do it again.
Edit: I'm sure nokia had drivers too. They were installed with the pc software.
Nokia supports plug n play on all platforms. But Android supports plug n play only in Linux as Android is Linux. To enable plug n play in windows u need adb(which u call drivers).. Isn't that simple to understand?
Not true. Plug and play doesn't mean that it doesn't need the drivers. Actually, my gf's nokia e75 took about 1.5 hours to install drivers, even after installing the pc platform. Point is, the pc needs them to communicate with your device. So, wait once for them to install, and then you are done gor as long that you use this pc, or this mobile device.
But, it might be usefull to install kies from the samsung website... It has a driver package with it. Could speed up the process

Do u even know what plug n play means?
its impossible to install drivers/sam kies on every computer that i want to connect! coz some times i maybe wish to connect my phone to office pc or cafe etc that i didn't actually have admin access to install drivers/kies ,,yeah Linux os didn't ask for drivers.

Do you want to transfer files between computers and your device?
Did you get a micro sd adapter with the phone?
If yes, buy some card reader and plug it in every computer you want.
install kies in ur pc and after finishing go to the installation directory and there u will find a folder named driver/usb driver.go to the folder and just preserve the file. u can now uninstall kies and from now on u will have to just install the driver file that u extracted from the kies. by this way mini will be connected to ur pc without kies installed.

Well probably u don't know. I won't give any explanation. For the mini to work directly on any pc, u can try pairing it with bluetooth if the pc has one or there is another way which I currently don't remember. Sony xperia phones does not need any drivers, they have an inbuilt app which does the work. If anyone could find out what that app is then the problem is solved. I think its something like 'sync'
Don't remember.

I connect my galaxy mini to any PC i want by turnin on the USB storage mode. We can Transfer files without any card reader or drivers. Only glitch is no access to contacts or inbox but who cares!
Here's how u do it, goto settings->applications->development->enable USB DEBUGGING
Then connect ya phone from data cable, u'll see a usb icon on notification bar click on it n TURN ON USB STORAGE
Simple right?!
P.S:If u don't see a USB icon in notification then enable usb debuggin once again from settings.

That app doesn't seem to support windows 7. My brother in law tried to port it to LG optimus, and to my galaxy mini, but it won't work proper. But, you can always trie to get an app that works with microsoft activesync. That's embedded within windows, so the drivers for that should be found and install fairly quick.

Hi mate, follow my method
PLUG IN your USB CABLE through behind of your CPU (do not jack your phone 1st)
goto SETTING-APPLICATION-DEVELOPMENT, and UNtick "USB DEBUGGING"
Jack on your USB CABLE, okay, now you will noticed "USB PROMPT" . slide down bar and choose USB DEBUGGING (copy files etc bla bla bla it says) and TURN ON USB STORAGE . you're DONE
http://www.4shared.com/get/RsWcxNuH/samsung_usb_driver_for_mobile_.html
Try this file if you don't wanna install Kies and still wanna connect your phone to pc....
install pdanet on pc and while doing steps on it you will need to connect your mobile to pc with debugging enabled and driver will be installed
Plug and play doesn't mean drivers are not there

Plug and play simply means that the drivers are automatically installed as soon as the device is connected.
There is not a single piece of hardware that "does not require drivers" to run as far as i can tell.
Drivers are always required, but u dont need to install them manually in case of plug and play devices.

Hi all, I've just flashed CM7 to my Optimus Black and I have a problem. My PC doesn't see my phone. I didn't try to install LG Drivers again cause i'm afraid it'll crash my phone where CM7 is flashed.
Can anyone help me?
I also don't have Android Market app, do you haven't go it too?
What do you mean by "My PC doesn't see my phone", it doesn't connected with LG PC Suite? That's because CM7 doesn't included PC Suite.
"I also don't have Android Market app, do you haven't go it too?", you must install gapps-universal after flashing CM, you can download here.
-CMIIW-
I meant that when i plug my ob to the computer and i want to use mass storage (when android pic is orange) my pc doesn't see it so i cant send any music or movies by the cable. And thanks for these gapps, i have Android market now

Well I think it's related with your driver, or perhaps your cable?

Did you try to hit charge only, then pull down top bar, select usb mode, then chose mass storage? Sometimes i also couldnt choose massstorage.

That I have also tried ... interesting is that you connect the usb cabel, the phone is not communicating with the PC ... The notification bar appears or does not signal via USB debugging .. Simply phone through USB connection only charged ... Nothing else can match. No dialog for USB conection.The problem occurred when switching to kernel 30b

I solved this issue before.
Download UPK 3.7.1 by Ilko and then install USB drivers
then try again
This solved the exact same problem.
Can also be OS related as Windows XP does not read the OS array affixed by ICS and above. So try your best to have an Windows 7 and above.

I have the same problem... with rrgrrgs rom and also with N00BYs rom...
In settings i can see that battery is charging, but there is no notification regarding connecting as usb storage. If i select (in options) that during connecting to PC it should be as mass storage, it doesn't work neither
When i select, in dev settings, to leave screen ON during charging, it goes OFF (with charging from pc and using charger too!) - just like it is when not charging.
:< i don't like it
...and i can't install another drivers, because i'm on ubuntu...
With gingerbread everything works perfectly.
EDIT: OK... I was confused, because in rrgrrgs rom, baseband was recognized (or i saw something else, don't know, i'm confused a little bit now), so i left it be, but i saw that in noobys rom baseband is unknown. Using another pc with Microsoft creature I flashed baseband and now everything WORKS GOOD. So in my case, the baseband was the reason.
Hi, guys! I have a really big problem :/. Right now I'm using the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread from LG ,but you all know that this is the worst OS ever. I wanted to get rid of it but i cant connect my device to the computer. It's only charging. I need a way to root it w/o usb connection. Do u have any suggestions? It's not a software problem! Something inside the phone is broken and i don't know what it is. Is there a way to root it via bluetooth or SD card? I didn't find any apps to root it too. I know gingerbreak etc, but they dont work for 2.3.4. Thank you in advance and i hope there is a solution. :fingers-crossed:
I am afraid you can't. Replacing your micro usb port could solve your problem. I reccomend to buy a micro usb port which is already on the flexible cable so you can avoid ironing.

So i'll need this? I asked a staff member in a service station and he said that the port isnt broken. So i need the whole thing port+flexible cable? Is that what i should do? Thanks alot.

stupid question: did you try another usb cable or usb port?
Yeah, dude. Of course. I've tried different settings like usb debugging on/off too but still nothing.
here are some articles you might want to check out regarding usb connection

i forgot how the mass storage settings in gingerbread look like but there should be an option to put the phone in "charge only" mode (which you should disable)... pressing menu key in settings > storage doesn't give you any options to choose?
In gingerbread you can only turn usb mass storage and usb debugging on/off. These settings didn't help. I'll read more about the first link you gave me and try it out.

This is quite challenge, root without usb connection. First idea I got to use ADB over WiFi, but this is available from ICS, not on GB.
Second idea - what I remember, some of root methods use APK installation over ADB by script. Maybe you can search for these script methods and place all required files on SD Card. Then try to execute commands by terminal on device itself to install and root.
It's just my idea, maybe wrong, maybe help.

Yes that is what you need if you have to replace your USB port but you don't have skills to replace only the usb port.
You can try gingerbreak to root your phone, but it maybe won't work.

I'm not aware of ADB and scripting. Can you give me sоme guidelines?(I'm sorry 'bout my english. I hope you understand)
p.s. I found some info about ADB. So you need ADB to control your device via commands, but you can use ADB on your computer? You say that i have to find a way to use ADB on my phone so it controls itself and roots?

i'm somehow sure that the real problem here is the device driver installation on your PC/Windows, not the phone...
btw which windows version are you using?

if you read the 1st post, you might find out how could it help you... especially if you use win 8 which caused problems for many other users when trying to install the drivers or trying to flash the phone...
I - Install APX (NVFlash Recovery) Drivers if not already installed.
It starts the windows device driver wizard to help you install the drivers needed for NVFlash. It detects your system OS and gives additional on-screen instructions needed if your PC is running Windows 8.
FYI: The drivers are located under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver folder.

I use windows 8 from a week. Anything i've done before was on a xp/ win 7. The problem isnt in the win 8 i use now. I've tried everything on my xp laptop. I have a friend who has the same phone and he can connect it to his computer so everything is fine with his computer. I've tried to connect my optimus to his computer and again it wasnt found by the computer. The problem must be in my device.
