[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] saldman:
Hi,

Quick background: Former sys admin with some Unix experience. Already own a Toshiba Thrive rooted with CWM. Gave that to the wife and got me the GT 7+. Read the forum here prior to buying. Rooted on day one.

Stats: GT-P6210 Build: HTJ85B.UEKL1 P6210UEKL1

PC: Windows 7 21 Bit Enterprise SP1

Kies: Kies_2.1.1.11124_17_6

Later on the first day, after installing aps, I installed latest version of Kies and plugged it in with the supplied usb cable in order to transfer some files to my Sandisk 32Gb microsd. Kies already running and debugging off as per the instructions. Results: Tab plays a notice and I see the MTP connected icon. My pc does NOTHING. No sound, no notice, Kies does nothing.

I unplugged and tried the other 3 ports. 2nd port gives me same result and on the 3 & 4 port I lose the tab's MTP notice and it begins charging.

So, this is what I have done in order:

1. Re-installed Kies--->same result. No MTP notice on tab.

2. Debugging on--->same

3. Tried in on my room mate's W7 machine---> Alas! I get a driver installation and I am able to see both drives. I quickly unplugged and thanked him.

4. Cleaned my pc by:

a. Deleting all USB controllers

b. Deleting all USB installations on registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSBSTOR)

c. CCLEANER the whole system.

d. Turn off. Pull off battery. Press power button to drain motherboard.

e. Restart and re-install USB controllers.

f. Restart again.

5. Plug in again--->Tab plays a notice and I see the MTP connected icon. My pc does NOTHING. No sound, no notice, Kies does nothing.

6. Pull my hair, bang my head, wished I would have kept the Thrive. (just plug, and drag and drop)

Left it plugged to the pc overnight. Next morning I see the found new device on systray and it is trying to find drivers. I quickly open Kies and see some activity as it tries to connect. and after a few seconds, it stops. Result: No drivers installed, no Kies recognition, no drive letters, nothing.

8. At this point I ask my room mate to let me plug in on his pc to see if he still sees it and nothing happens on his pc.

9. I wipe the table back to stock.--->Tab plays a notice and I see the MTP connected icon. My pc does NOTHING. No sound, no notice, Kies does nothing. Then after I tried other ports, it begins charging and I lose the MTP notice.

10. I re-roo,t reconfigure the beast, and do a backup. Tablet is running smooth as silk, but it never connects. This all happened in the last three days.

11. Last thing I did, as I am writing this with the tablet plugged in to the pc and MTP notice on, was to un-mount the microsd and remount. MTP re-initializes and it does nothing.

I may be suspecting a cable and unfortunately, I am in no position to get my hands on another one in a timely manner. At this point, I could reflash back to a stock firmware, send back to amazon and wait for another one to come in three to four weeks (I am deployed to a remote area) and I just don't want to do that.

The tab runs great. Love the size and speed. I guess I can continue taking out the microsd card out every time I want to add a file, but I am afraid that it may eventually end up ruining the card and possibly the tablet.

Please help. I have scoured the internet, but all I ever find is solutions that I already have tried.

Thanks in advance,

Sal
