Windows 8 Drivers? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently installed windows 8 on my computer.. and to I thought that Samsung drivers are already compatible with it (since normal phone usage like Mass Storage/Kies is working like a charm) but I'm wrong
When I try to recover my phone through download mode.. my computer can't recognize my phone anymore and It also shows a window saying something like Installing driver for Unknown Device for windows 8, but for windows 7 it will say Installing driver for Samsung Android USB Modem and Samsung Android USB Composite Device (two drivers are being installed in windows 7).. so i still need to boot for win7 just to reflash some odin firmwares
**Note msm7x27 driver is also detected as a faulty driver for windows 8 and some other missing drivers that exist in windows 7
So my question is, are there any windows 8 drivers for Samsung already?
Win8 Action Center tends to redirect me into the samsung website to download drivers but the its installer is buggy.. it's installing random drivers which are useless and too hard to uninstall using normal add/remove programs...
just clarifying things out.. so i may just keep a backup of these firmwares incase of trouble

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.

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.
How exactly do you update the drivers with win7? It keeps saying my drivers are up to date but I still can't get adb to recognize my vibrant

Anyone?? I can't get get adb to recognize my device for the life of me
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] Driver problems

Struggling with getting any computer to recognize my I9000. Both XP and Win7 fails to load MTP USB device. That said XP is not complaining, it loads something that seems generic, "MTP Device" along with Samsung Android USB Modem and Samsung Android USB Composite Device
MTP Device uses files wpdusb.sys and wudfrd.sys . Is this right, or should the device look for diffrent drivers and what files SHOULD it use?
On win7 it displays "Android MTP" as opposed to "I9000" the few time it used to work.
Tried the alternative drivers.
Tried the long file extensions tips.
Did you try disbaling launcher pro / launcher pro? So stock tw launcher is working? And wiping the internal sd? Had issues, but this worked first time on win7
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
TWlauncher/Launcherpro is checked from the list many days ago yes, had it working with Kies only a few days ago (granted after a lot of "tricks" and then suddenly working for no obvious reason).
Been holding off the internal sd format and factory reset. Thats my next step.
No luck. In XP it shows up as "MTP Device" under "Portable devices". Is this how its supposed to look like, or should it be recognized as "I9000"?
And finally. Trick this time was to have Kies running (win 7), also battery where taken out once (telephone locked trying it in XP). Internal SD unmounted, formated, remounter and then factory reset in "privacy".

Just finally solved the same problem for Windows XP. Here the solution:
- uninstall MTP device driver
- I don't know if necessary but I did - remove from windows all related files : wpdmtp*.*
- !!! download Windows Media Player version 11. It contains updated drivers.
- install the player
- connect your device
Now it's recognized in the Device Manager as GT-I9000. And Kies immediately connects to it.
For future reference, how did you uninstall MTP device drivers?
We wont be the last to have trouble with this procedure...
while device is connected you can click right mouse button on it and choose "uninstall"

[Q] Windows 7 x64 drivers - USB problem

Hi!
I just updated my Windows to Windows 7 x64, and I can't connect my X8 to PC - he is detectable, but can't use flashtool, USB (to copy files) etc.
I installed Gordon's Gate, PC Companion (he don't detect that is X8 - I have GDX installed).
Have I to back to 2.1, and then install this drivers for PC Companion? or what? I would like to test nobodyAtall's MiniCM and kernel. I also downloaded X8 ADB drivers but can't install it in device manager.
Thanks for help.
No, you don't have to go back to Stock 2.1.1.
PC Companion does have x64 and x86 drivers included - the only problem you may face is that PC Companion won't love custom ROMs on the X8 (i.e. if you have one of the PCC versions where "Repair" still works it will refuse to restore your device -> "No updates available"). The same seems to go for Gordon's Gate ... there are x86 and x64 (aka "amd64") drivers included.
I successfully used the drivers from PCC as well as Flashtool (v0.2.9.1 - 0.5.x.x fails to recognize the phone no matter what I do) with my X8 (Edit: on Windows 7 x64 Professional) - and since PCC had already put the Android drivers into the set of Windows drivers there wasn't a problem in installing the Flash/ADB driver.
The question at hand would rather be: since you switch from Windows 7 (32-Bit) to its x64 counterpart ... did you install all of your chipset drivers - especially the USB drivers (valid for Intel and AMD based systems)?

I switched from Windows XP x86 (also have Win 7 professional), and after that only my phone memory storage doesn't work. All USB ports is working, but I'm not sure about this AMD driver? Where can I get it?
Yup, there is 'amd64' driver, but how to install it manually? X8 is detectable for Windows, so it is not showing in device manager. I install PC Companion first, but it wasn't work, then downloaded flashtool (0.2.9.1), installed GG and tried to install this included drivers, but don't know how.

The chipset drivers for your motherboard are most likely for download on the website of the manufacturer ...
For Intel based systems you're looking for the "Intel Inf Driver Utility" (or something along that line) for Windows 7 x64
For AMD based systems you're looking for the USB drivers package (for Windows 7 x64).
If you don't have a clue it might help if you could name the Manufacturer of your motherboard (i.e.: Gigabyte), the exact type of your motherboard (i.e.: GA-870A-UD3) and CPU type (i.e.: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T) so I/we can try to look it up for you.

Well, back in the days I installed PC Companion - which also spilled the drivers into Windows - and only updated it since then whenever it nagged about "New version of PC Companion available" ... though I never spotted it installing a newer set of drivers.
Anyway ...
If you attach your X8 to your computer with "USB-Debugging" disabled then Windows should show you a mass storage device in "Computer".
If you attach your X8 to your computer with "USB-Debugging" enabled then Windows will install the ADB bridge driver (upon first connect) so adb is able to communicate with your device.
If you attach your X8 in "Flash mode" (phone turned off, back button pressed) to your computer because it's stuck in a boot-loop Windows will install the Flash driver (upon first connect) so Flashtool is able to flash the device.
All, of course, by best using the genuine USB cable that came with your phone.
Additionally you could try this ...
Enable "USB-Debugging" (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and connect your device to the computer. Start Flashtool and select "Check drivers" from the menu ... what result do you get?
EDIT: Additionally, what version of Flashtool do you use and to where (C:\<path\to\flashtool>) did you install/put Flashtool?

After checking drivers in flashtool:

And after I trying enable mass storage I get info about 'SD card safe to remove'. I will try to connect it in flash mode, but it seems to be OK with flashing.
The biggest problem is mass storage, I will check if flashtool is working now.

That's exactly what should happen ... if you tap the button to connect in USB mass storage mode the SD card will be unmounted from Android - and a few seconds later it should show up as a new drive in START ORB -> "Computer".
As for the Flashtool output - seems the drivers are installed and found to be OK by Flashtool.

Oh my god ... a Hewlett Packard box ...
Well, in this case you need to go to www.hp.com and search for the exact Model/Type of your rig - there should be a "Support" or "Drivers" section where you can download the drivers from HP for your particular system.
I only found a page with Motherboard Specifications relating to some HP z552.se Digital Entertainment Center box. If that's what you have standing right in front of you ... Download Drivers page - just select "Windows 7 (64-bit)" from the drop-down (though ... LOOOL HP ... there's just a Lightscribe update; no drivers or whatever else).
If it's not your system ... please search for the right one.
Edit: Going with the Motherboard Specifications from the HP page about the MSI MS-7225 ...
--> Chipset: GeForce 6150 LE chipset
Go to: http://www.geforce.com/Drivers
Set the pull-down to reflect this:
GeForce
GeForce 6 Series
GeForce 6150 LE
Windows 7 (64-bit)
<select your language>
Click "Start Search"
For "Polski" here's the direct download link (International drivers suitable for various languages):
http://pl.download.nvidia.com/Windo...op-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe
--> Onboard audio: ALC883 or ALC888 CODEC
Go to: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
Download "Vista, Windows7 Driver (32/64bits) Driver only (Executable file)" from one the six mirrors (I guess "UK" could be appropriate for you as it's no too overly far away from PL)
--> Onboard LAN: 10/100 Marvell 88EC031
This driver seems only to be available through Windows Update.
Since HP fails to mention what Nvidia MCP the board is using I'm unable to tell if there are vendor specific USB drivers or not.

Can't use fastboot

To clarify, my problem is that on my windows 11 laptop my phone is not recognized in fastboot. When I try to run any commands i get "<waiting for device>" and in device manager it is listed as "Android" with a yellow triangle near it because windows says it is an unknown device. I even installed all the drivers i could but still no luck. It works on my ubuntu laptop so I don't know why it wouldn't work on my windows laptop.
Ah yes, welcome to Windows Driver Hell. You see, while you think your drivers are installed, Windows has a different opinion
Try finding the directory of the driver and install it manually in device manager. If this works there is a chance you'll even have to do it every goddamn time. Has happended before.
If you're using a device specific driver you can try Universal Drivers instead. And vice versa if you're on universal drivers now.
Sometimes I have luck with a Nexus driver.
Thanks for your help, it finally worked with the qualcomm driver I found in the msm tool post
