Windows 8 drivers - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running Windows 8 at work to test some compatibility with a few applications we use. I'm having difficulty getting drivers for my i9000 though. I've tried the 1.5.5.0 for Windows 7 drivers, as well as 1.5.9.0 that I found elsewhere on the forum, meant for Windows 8, but the device shows up as i9000-GT in error state in device manager. I even installed the latest version of Kies hoping it would pick up some drivers.I can mount the storage fine, but I cannot ADB to the phone (nothing listed with adb devices).
I know there are probably very few people running Windows 8, but does anyone have any ideas?

Try downloading the android sdk..might help...there is a usb drive that could solve your issue.

I do have the SDK downloaded, installed, and updated. Is there a generic driver in there somewhere?

you can download drivers from My Android Collections and or a solution for USB connection problems from My Android Solutions

Kies on windows 8 did the trick for me, it's strange your phone isn't detected that way. Are you using a x86 or a 64bits version ?

USPL and Windows 7

Hello,
I have already moved to Windows 7, which is very stable and much faster then Windows Vista...
There are some problems with the Windows 7 and USPL...
Is there a configuration guide, which explains the procedure, how I can manage the USB connection problems within Windows 7.
Many Thanks
Roman
You need to update the USB drivers.
The following post will explain how. This works for Windows 7 aswell as Vista.
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...u-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/
One thing to note, you have to put your phone in bootloader and connect it via USB for it to show the Mobile Device - HTC USB in Device Manager.
One laptop I was on I knew I had to apply the fix on so hadn't tried without updating, and took me forever to find out why I couldn't find the driver to update.
I used a small program called "Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b".
Its freeware for using unsigned drivers in Windows 7.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and USPL works perfect now.
Thanks

Hello,
Had to upgrade my Windows 7 to build 7077 first....!
Then it worked @ 1st try... ;-)
Roman
I have problem with installing driver on Windows 7 64-bit (build 7077). I always get error: This device cannot start (Code 10). Does anyone have solution for it?
I had to get to 7077 as well, i couldnt make it start on 7057 or 7068 either.
I just solved it, but I can't explained how... I tried it again and again.. did some restart of HD and of Windows 7 and finally I was successfull . My tip is to re-connect HD on USB before installation...
I use 7077 x64 and no issues with it whatsoever. I had no issues at all with any build and actually it gets the drivers and Windows Mobile Device Center automatically for me. Check your system drivers like chipset and usb controller for updated versions maybe?
Thanks
Many thanks for the solution that you give to us.
I have been testing every release of Windows 7 since 7000 and as long as you install WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1) and then update the HTC USB Sync driver (put your phone into bootloader and update the driver in device manager with the one from the guide in my signature) you won't have any issues flashing roms. This is for both 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.

[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S

Team,
For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.
64bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
32bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.
The standard Samsung USB driver that PDAnet had listed for the Samsung Moment worked for me as well, will give these new ones a try on my other system.
thank you
I added a link to this thread in the sticky
EDIT: Nevermind the n00b question. I was able to get the drivers installed and I am good to go.

have the same problem. i'm on 7, 32bit
did you enable USB debugging?
Gunnman from Galaxy S
yes of course. first thing I did after I rooted
I'm drunk so bear with me. go into device manager and browse for the driver manually ,include subdir. point to programfiles\samsung.
if that don't work use the 64bit drivers on 32bit windows. don't run setup just browse to the extracted dir from the unknown device in device manager. it worked for me at work. good night
Gunnman from Galaxy S
since i had issues w/ the 32bit driver exe, i extracted it and zipped it up incase others have the same issue.

this thread should be stickied since W7 doesn't come with the drivers, it seems.

Try both 32bit and 64 bit drivers. At work I have 32bit win7 and the 64bit drivers fixed it up. Dont run setup just go through device manager chosse the unknown device and point it to the 64bit driver directory and check include sundirs.
Try using correct drivers for your win version but turn the phone off, connect and then power up while connected....worked fine for me after messing with both lots of drivers first and no luck
Make sure you select "USB debugging" for ADB to work folks.
Where can I get the mac driver..i looked everywhere please help
this thread is legit!
thanks for all of your help so far guys.. BUT i still cannot get my laptop to sync up with the phone properly (win xp pro, sp3)...
I've downloaded and installed both drivers and the computer is recognizing the external drives, but they are showing as removable disks E: and F:. when i double click to open, it is telling me to insert a disk? i feel like i'm almost there, but there is somethign i'm missing!
usb is mounted and usb storage is off. usb debugging enabled.
any help would be appreciated.
Windows drivers issue
Have you tried mounting the drives. Same thing happened to me when you have it connected to the computer drop down the usb notification and mount. The your drives should be accessible.

[Q] ADB device not found

My ADB is not working... So basically I messed up my HTC ONE by formatting the whole device including system... I'm not sure what to do now. My ADB isn't working. Ive updated the ADB drivers, and updated SDK for Google. My device is not detected by my computer. When i'm in fastboot mode my phone is detected. Is there any other way of pushing a file to my device?
exactly where im at, my windows 8 cant detect but my windows 7 can detect once i move the thing down to fastboot. Shows "Android 1.0"

Cannot Get Drivers Installed for Windows 8.1 - Manual Installation or SDK

I cannot possibly figure out what the heck is causing my Windows 8.1 Installation to not detect my Nexus 6. Google comes up with TONS of results for this issue, but all troubleshooting points to what I have already done.
Plug it in, comes up as "Nexus 6" under "Other Devices" in Device Manager. With the little Yellow ! mark.
Downloaded the USB drivers from here - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html attempted to install them and I get an error message. After selecting the folder that contains the driver.
"Windows was unable to install your Nexus 6: Windows could not find the driver software for your device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software"
What I have Tried:
- Installing Drivers with USB Debugging ON and OFF
- Installing Drivers with Connection set to MTP and PTP on the phone
- Disabled Driver Signature Enforcement and attempted to install.
- Downloading Drivers a second time to ensure no corruption was in the file.
- Attempted to install via Android SDK (This appears to work per SDK software, but Device Manager shows no change, and the nexus isnt showing up in Explorer.)
- Tested Nexus on another Device. (Running Windows 7. Literally Plug and play No manual Installation needed. Worked)
I'm at total Loss here, Any other Ideas?
@morbid_bean,
Did you try the Motorola Device Manager >https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that seems to have done nothing
I'd go w/ uninstall all other drivers first, change cables and see what happens.
Try this:
1) Download the driver from the link in your post, and unzip the files to any location;
2) Open Device Manager on your PC and turn on the option to "Show hidden devices" from the View menu;
3) Right click on EVERY item that could potentially relate to your device (e.g., adb interface, composite interface, motorola, nexus, etc.) and uninstall, including deleting the driver.
4) With USB Debugging set to OFF, plug your device into your PC. Windows should automatically install the MTP driver and It should be recognized;
5) Now turn USB Debugging ON;
6) Go back into Device Manager, right click on your device and select "Update driver software";
7) Select "Browse my computer...", NOT "Search automatically...";
8) Click "Browse", and locate the driver you downloaded in step 1.
EDIT: I don't think you have to disable Driver Signature Enforcement, but if it gives you issues, try disabling it.

This is a long shot, but you did install the Java JDK, right?

I understand. OP has diagnosed his problem as drivers, but if his problem is ADB not connecting to his N6, it could be the problem. As I said, it's a long shot.
OP Here with a status update.
Continued to try some other suggestions. Such as another Cable, another USB port, reboots. Hell I seriously went as far as a whole Windows 8.1 Re-install. I had some feeling that possibility because I am rooted its causing issues; so I even went as far as taking my old Nexus 4 and reverted it to 100% stock to attempt to install the drivers and then trying the nexus 6. But I got same results.

When I follow these steps I was successfully able to install drivers for something called "Android Composite ADB Interface"; "MTP" or "Nexus 6" was still failing. Even after switching debugging on. I still unfortunately do not see anything in Explorer that I can access the Nexus 6's files. Maybe this is an indicator that I am getting closer?

When I installed Android SDK, it told me I needed JDK before proceeding with the installation. So I'm pretty sure I did this.

I just realized that the last part on my step 3 was cut off. It should read:
3) Right click on EVERY item that could potentially relate to your device (e.g., adb interface, composite interface, motorola, nexus, etc.) and uninstall, including deleting the driver.
As far as your issue, I'm pretty sure that Windos recognizes the N6 as an MTP device (assuming you have it on MTP) without any additional drivers, so I'm not sure what the problem is. My steps were to get the ADB driver installed, which seems to have worked. (ADB allows you access to your files via command line...)

FIXED IT!
I am running a version of Windows 8.1 known as Windows 8.1 Pro N Essentially this is a slightly stripped down version and does not include "Windows Media Player or other Windows Media-related technologies, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker" I managed to get this copy really cheap.
More Info Here
So essentially I needed to download THIS Pack/Update which gave me these special features. Including the resolution of my Driver Problem. Rebooted the computer plugged in my phone and it was detected and installed drivers automatically.
Special Credit to THIS thread for helping me with the answer. I hope this can be added to any Driver Installation Guide or Sticky to assist others that may come across this problem.
Glad you got it resolved. I've never heard of Pro N. Another wrinkle in the Windows 8.1 driver issues, it seams.
Recently I have been deving on a friends nexus 6 with 5.1.1 on it all drivers are installed properly device shows in adb i even get adb root successful but it refuses to adb remount for testing purposes even on roms that have modified boot.img's with init.d in them and ro.secure=0 set and adb persistance is also set so there is no reason for it not to mount. I imagine there could be a problem with it mounting system on boot but I am new to aosp 5.1.1 roms and this solution did not work for me it tells me the windows 8.1 version I'm running is not applicable for this update? So if anyone can lend some assistance it would be much appreciated.
The Nexus 6 is VZW unlocked bootloader and rooted twrp recovery all the latest
currently any rom i try i cant mount through adb so testing for themes is impossible?

My question is: Why would old google universal adb drivers work when everyone else says to use the new google usb drivers in tandem with the Motorola drivers for vzw? Thats the only reason i didnt use the tool is b/c its outdated?

But alas! It does work, I've tested it myself. Also, you can install the most recent drivers optionally.

Yup that didnt work either. I get su in adbshell it shows me # so there is su i just dont get why it wont mount at all or pull or push obviously cant do that if it won't mount. And no tutorial I've followed nor solution has worked thus far. As stated above that solution worked for him with windows media center or whatever but that doesnt apply to me. I've done this hundreds of times with many many many devices on windows 7 I've even done it with 3 devices on 8.1 so far no problems this is the only one to give me issues like this.
It's always a bit of messing around with it to get it to work but this is different i have spent hours going back and forth removing all drivers installing new ones using tools etc.

How to get Windows drivers after Pie update?

Hi,
I upgraded my Nokia 8 to Pie a while ago and now I had to reinstall windows.
Now when I connect the phone to my computer I get the CD drive that should contain the driver but when I try to open it I get a "Please insert a disk into CD-ROM drive F:".
So... how to get the driver from the phone in this case? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the CD device, tried reassigning a drive letter to no avail. This was working just fine prior the Pie update. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks!

What i tried was remove all usb root hubs from device manager on windows and then scan for hardware changes. Everything was back to normal. But since you just reinstalled windows, i don't know if it'll work. But no harm in trying, right?
Also, try searching for drivers from windows update. Check device manager to try and update the mtp drivers manually from windows update.
Or you could just connect it to some windows 7 pc, copy all drivers and install it in your windows 10 one.

Whatever I did, it showed up only as an empty drive. I ended up crawling the filesystem via `adb` and pulled the iso from the phone. It's still there, it just doesn't mount the contents. So I extracted it and put it in Gdrive for future reference. Whoever is interested, can find it here.

Try one more thing: enable developer options by clicking on the build no in about phone a number of times. Go to developer options>default usb configuration. Try meddling with those settings.
