So I have tried and tried to get adb mode working on my Galaxy s8 with no success. Is there anything special you need to do first to get your computer to see your phone??
Have you enabled usb debugging in developer options?
If the above poster didn't nail the problem then 9/10 times the issue is with either the USB drivers on your machine or a bad USB cable
I ended up getting it running on a different laptop. Worked right away. Seems my original laptop doesn't recognize the Samsung device, even with the drivers

Hey guys, just got my Tab a few days ago, its unlocked and its working great. I want to root, but my PC wont recognize it (running win7) and it says the USB device has malfunctioned... wth? I searched through some threads about the drivers, and ive tried 4 different ones, restarted my PC, AND my Tab, with no luck. No, USB Debugging is not enabled. (not a noob, just, simply not working)
Any ideas? I would appreciate it
I just got my tab 3hours ago. I got it to work.
Here are what i've done
1.go to control panel and see if samsung usb driver is there. If it is, uninstall it.
2.disable usb debugging on the tab
3.connect the tab to the computer.
Thats wht worked for me. Hope it helps. And yes, samsung has really got to work on the usb thing.
Unzip and run the attached file. Delete any old unused USB device and delete any Android, Samsung or other related device then reinstall Samsung drivers.

This helped me: my computer tower has front and back USB ports. Back USB ports are directly embedded in the motherboard, front USB ports are a wire run from the case plugged into the motherboard, but the front USB ports are on a different chip.
When I first tried using the ADB debugger with Android, ADB would not even find my device if I plugged the device into the front USB ports. If I move the cord to the back USB ports, everything works properly. Maybe this is your issue?
Thanks guys, I believe I got it working.
Hey guys,
Just recently, my PC and any other PC Ive tried for that matter will not recognize my Note 3. I had Windows 7 and it worked fine for months, then just the other day it came up on the bottom as USB Device Not Recognized, and no matter what I do it will not do so. Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and still the same result. I have installed Kies 3, uninstalled and resintalled Samsung drivers and still nothing. I am running a custom rom in the stock slot using Safestrap...is it possible that that might have messed up something? Even when the cord is plugged into the PC, the phone doesnt come up with anything notification that it's plugged in, but it does say it is charging. If any of you have any tips or something please help because I am at my wits end.
Thanks
Have you tried with another cord?
Computer doesn't see device... Device doesn't detect plug in... Sounds like a bad USB cord

Yes, actually I have and still nothing...forgot to mention that in the original post.
It's a strange problem which leads me to believe that something has gone wrong in the phone, or that I caused something to go wrong by flashing a rom or three, since it did work previously. Unfortunately, I'm at status: Custom, although my Knox is 0x0.

Yes, this shows as disabled. What should this be?
Can't help you solve your problem, but last night I had a hiccup where I plugged my (17 day old) N3 into my computer in a USB2 port and ... nothing at all. (As if it were electrically disconnected - no "unknown devices" showing)
Tried it in a different USB2 port, and ... nothing.
Tried in in a USB 3.0 port - same computer, same OEM cord - and everything was fine. As far as I knew, nothing had changed on either end of things, although the previous evening I had used a different OTG cable for a USB key with the phone, and I had also had a automatic update of the Samsung Push Service on the phone. Nothing had been plugged into the PC's usb ports since it's prior cold boot. (Win 7 x64 Pro).
This morning (both PC and phone have been rebooted), everything is back to normal - both on the phone and the PC. Both the USB2 and USB3 ports all seem fine.
Ugh. Makes me nervous - brand new hardware.
Boot into Odin mode THEN plug the device in, let windows find the drivers for it then once that's done, reboot the phone regularly and see if it works then. It appears to be an issue with most to ALL Samsung devices, but this worked for my wife's galaxy S3 when the computer wouldn't recognize it and the phone didn't detect a PC connection.

Did you fix this problem?
Thank you! Worked perfectly!
I have the same problem, do you have any solutions ? Thanks.
I too have been struggling with this problem. The is no USB symbol in the notifications area on my phone whether I plug into to my computer at work (Win7) or at home (Win7), using a usb3 cable or a usb2 cable. Its as if there was a setting on my phone that allows recognition when plugged into a computer that has been turned off.Is there such a setting? I would love some help on this as well. Thanks in advance! I am rooted with towel root and have had no problems until last week. When I look in the device manager on my computer it shows :
SAMSUNG Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB interface
I tried uninstalling the above and then plugging my phone back in and it re-installs the same driver shown above.
For what it is worth here are the drivers for SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface:
c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusbsys
c:\windows\system32\WdfCoinstaller01007.dll
c:\windows\system32\WinUSBCoinstaller.dll
Should I be using different drivers ? Thanks|!
please help!
any solution yet? i have same problem, no usb detection and camera wont work i want to flash stock rom whit odin but i cant get the computer to recognize my phone...
I was able to fix the usb recognition problem. i had to do a factory restore. I lost root but gained usb recognition AND the Over the Air update to 4.4.4 and patiently awaiting the update to 5.0 hopefully this month!
Hi Basically plugged my S4 i9505 in via usb. Nothing shows in my computer, but phone remains charging. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all samsung usb drivers but it does nothing. Tried installing kies/older usb drivers, still no luck. Regardless of if there are drivers or not on my pc, there is no detection what so ever. My pc is detecting my second S4 I9505 perfectly. Anyone know the solution to this?

Tap 5 times buildnumber in settings menu under: about phone to open developer settings. Enable USB debugging. Now you can choose what to do when phone is plugged in pc.

USB debugging is Enable still nothing happen
USB debugging is not required in order to have the phone recognized by the computer.
Have you tried different USB cables and USB ports? Is the phone detected on other computers?
i had the same problem.... and we found out that the pins or the usb connection sh1t from the phone doesn`t make good contact. si try to push a little but or force up and down the usb cable to the usb from phone maybe you will manage to find a stable connection or something.
when i connect to phone to the pc i have to hold the usb cable connected to the phone in a weird position. that works for me
I've got 5 S7s on my desk, all Canadian variant, all from the same manufacturer all the same model. - SM-G930W8
All are recognised by my PC but one and I can't work out why not!
Plugging the phone into the PC makes no noise from the PC but the phone seems to detect a regular charger not a PC.
I have plugged it in using different cables including the one in its box and the ones used on other devices that were recognised and only this phone doesn't work with any of them.
I have plugged in, unplugged and rebooted many times.
I have set the USB configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)/Transferring files.
USB Debugging is ON and OEM unlocking is ON.
I have tried booting into stock recovery and wiping cache AND factory resetting.
When phone is turned on "adb devices" returns nothing.
I have installed Samsung Kies and Samsung Smart Switch to reinstall the drivers.
NOTHING IS WORKING!
All threads I find tell me to do the things I have listed above and have people saying these have worked but all of them I had already tried and double tried and nothing is working.
The cables are correct and working with other S7s of the same model.
All the correct drivers are installed and have been uninstalled and reinstalled.
All the correct setting are selected and OEM unlock and USB debugging enabled.
Phone was fresh out the box as were the other four and all cables.
Samsungs apps installed on PC to ensure best drivers installed.
Would really appreciate some guidance or consolation that its not something stupid I'm doing! I work with these phones everyday and this has never happened! Just banging my head against a brick wall trying to resolve it
maybe faulty usb port, my nephew had S6 with the same issue, service replaced usb port and it started
to work with PC.
try download mode and see if odin see your phone.
try to move the cable a lil bit and see if sth appears for a second.

Thanks but unfortunately Odin doesn't recognise in download mode.
Could it be a USB port problem if I used the same port for the other 4 devices and have no issue?
I'm considering sending the phone back to manufacturer to be honest I think it may just be a faulty device or something!
I bet its microusb port fault
Had a similar issue on Windows 10 , if that's what your running let the phone be connected, uninstall the driver from device manager, and then install driver select have disk and select the basic mtp , if this doesn't help connect to Microsoft support and they'll guide you through it , worked for me , my phone used to detect on other laptops but mine , also I could connect other phones on mine but not my phone, hope this helps
same issue here
Good afternoon,
I am trying to root my Galaxy s7 edge: G935F or my Galaxy tab A 2016: T580 with odin, but both aren't being recognized by my Windows 10 computer. They do charge but don't seem to recognize my computer either. However my computer does recognize my Galaxy s5 neo and my Galaxy A5 2017. I've searched a lot and tried everything i found.
Which involves:
Different computers, ports, cables; and I consistantly get te same error.
Original cable
manualy install drivers, removing all usb drivers and reboot computer.
factory reset
Enabling developer options, usb debugging and usb configuration is set to Media Transfer Protocol.
I switched off selective usb interruption in my computers power management and dissabled quick boot.
Are there other things I could try, to make the computer recognize my S7 edge or Tab 2016. The only thing I could find, is that the ports of the devices itself are broken. Since both devices behave and charge normally I doubt this really is the case.
Since my main goal is to get one of the two rooted, maybe someone knows a way to do this without the use of a usb connection. I geuss one-click root methods don't work on these devices and I wasn't able to find something trough micro sd or a wireless option.
Thank you in advance

Hi there, installation of samsung usb drivers is easy. Please remove existing installation files on pc and install from provided link while the device connected to the pc during install and good internet. You should have no problem. I've done it on several machines
https://www.mediafire.com/file/gyp6fdl1wqbs8dz/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver.exe/file
Thanks for your response. I've already tried that several times. Just to be totaly sure i've tried it again with the link you've provided and sadly it didn't work. The thing is that the samsung a5 2017 and the samsung s5 neo, do connect. But the samsung s7 edge doesn't. Not even on a different computer, with Win 7. Just now I did a factory reset, again. And also tried to boot in safe mode. But it just doesn't work. Do you have other idea's?

It's not your computer obviously. Maybe the cable port on the s7e is broken or something. Or the drivers aren't getting properly installed on the machine. The com port used by odin doesn't require drivers to be installed separately for each device. So if other devices get recognized by Odin, it clearly means that your s7e requires some hardware replacement. You may try connecting another device of the same model
I have the same problem before. My s7 doesnt work fast charge and pc dont recognize and my phone charging 6 hours. Windows gives yellow error and doesnt recognize my phone. I try different cable and pc but doesnt work. I change my motherboard and it works
