I found a solution that worked. It's for a Samsung Galaxy S3, but should still apply to this issue. Below was the method I used, followed by further explanation. You may not need to follow these steps exactly, but they're the steps I used.

1) Plug Samsung Galaxy S3 phone into computer's USB port. You will get the MTP driver failed to installed message.

2) Backup SMS / MMS using a backup app (like MyBackup Pro).

3) Factory reset phone (while still plugged into computer).

4) Do NOT sign in to your Google Account when phone resets - This is CRITICAL. You can do it later.

5) Basically, just get the phone started up again without signing into any accounts (like Dropbox, Samsung account, etc.)

6) MTP driver should have automatically installed on computer - if not, then unplug phone from computer and reconnect.

7) Sign into your Google Account, and feel free to re-customize your phone at this point.

Another Phone with The MTP Problem

I'm also unable to resolve the MTP driver issue. My new ATT S3 was unable to load the MTP driver and I was unable to establish connectivity with my PC. I directly installed the driver and Kies from the Samsung site. Have tried several PCs and also tried downloading Kies to a Macbook Pro, where I also couldn't connect my phone. A factory reset did temporarily allow me to connect the phone and install the driver, but as soon as I started using the phone (downloading only a few very standards apps) I was once again unable to connect the phone/install the driver. I have spoken with Samsung technical support at great length, to no avail.

A side note: I also lost the capacity to go on the internet with the S3 for a number of hours. It was not a network or settings issue -- I did fairly extensive trouble shooting. Somehow the ability to get on the web came back on.

I am exchanging the phone for another S3. If the problem occurs, I'll get a refund and go back to my Infuse, which worked very well.

PS: A week or so later. I returned the S3 and got a new one. This time I was careful to connect the phone to my computer first thing out of the box, before syncing any accounts or loading apps. I also had a new sim card and, finally, to be safe, uninstalled Kaspersky Anti-virus (I had turned it off previously when trying to get the phone to work). The phone connected right away, to my PC, and also to my Mac. Maybe it's a hardware issue?

problem solved

After hours and even days asking questions, reading blogs, and trying to reload drivers, i finally decided to restore my galaxy S3 with a backup made on month ago... And the miracle comes true !!! my GT I9300 appear on my computer window.

Don't ask me what exacly was wrong, i have no idea. BUT on thing i am abolutely sure is the problem was in the phone itself and NOT in windows seven side.

Good luck too all, and thank you for your precious help.

hey guys I just unplugged my phone and turned off USB Debugging and plugged it back in, and it works great!
[General Questions and Answers] nikolarun:
Phone appears but browsing is really slow

Hi all,

A bit of background info :

I had to have my s3 replaced as I managed to crack the screen.

I took a KIES backup and also a CWM backup.

Once I got my new phone I restored the CWM image. then another reboot in download mode to root.

Now when i plug it in, it takes ages for it to come up in My computer, and once it comes up it is really slow to show all the folders.

If I try and copy anything it comes up with an error ( can't copy etc ).

I've reinstalled the win drivers , tried with usb debugging disabled, but still slow.

I reflashed CWM the other day and it was fast for a bit , but then when i tried the same evening it was back to slow.

I am running the LG8 firmware , reflashed it but still nothing.

I've updated KIES to the latest version , still slow.

Tested another usb port same thing.

It seems to do normal speed in download mode , so I'm guessing it's the drivers that are slowing it down. This didn't happen with the old phone, and I haven't changed the drivers.

I did try the LG6 firmware , but same thing....

I did run the "fix permissions" but that was a no go either !

same thing happens on my laptop, so I'm now thinking it's the phone.

So can anyone point me to a solution for this ? I've tried all the solutions above, but still no go

This helped me

Long time reader first time poster

I got a great deal upgrading from my S2 to an S3 so I jumped on it as I was happy with the S2 and looking forward to newer features

Got the phone

Plugged it in charged fully

Installed kies

Wtf MTP error??

After nearly 2 hours of installing/uninstalling kies, all access (from samsung website) and rebooting my phone multiple times with factory reset (i didnt even do anything with it yet i just opened it!) I finally stumbled upon something that worked

Go to microsoft website and find

Microsoft_User-Mode_Driver_Framework_Install-v1.0-WinXP (for windows XP)

There are newer versions, but once I installed this BAM everything worked

I was ready to return this phone before finding the Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework

Hope this helps

"How to Remove MTP Application Error in Samsung Galaxy S"
[General Questions and Answers] Impact215:
What fixed this for me

In the device manager for the MTP device, I did not get the Code 10 "the device cannot start". I had Code 19 "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. To fix this problem you can first try running a Troubleshooting Wizard. If that does not work, you should uninstall and then reinstall the hardware device."

What didn't work for me: toggling USB debugging, no sim or sd card when connecting, factory reset and connect before signing in, safe mode, 32 bit system, virtual xp mode, downloading drivers from samsung, downloading drivers from windows update catalog.

I fixed this by removing the Upperfilters setting in the following registry key (ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF THE REGISTRY BEFORE MAKING CHANGES):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{EEC5AD98-8080-425F-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}

“Upperfilters” = klfltdrv

This key is related to Kaspersky AV USB filters (I think :o)

After I removed this key and plugged in my phone, it no longer showed MTP usb device failed, but rather SGH-T999 successful!

I fired up Kies and it connected no problem!

Wowsie!

I created an account just so I could say thanks. I was on the phone with Samsung for about 12 hours over the course of 3 days. I had scoured the internet too, but this thread had eluded me. I talked my carrier AT&T into marking the phone DOA in their books so I could return it this morning.

I have been a computer professional since 1971, and I have seen some pretty weird stuff, but I would never have thought that the Google connection could have anything to do with it. I am still having a hard time rationalizing how the Google account could screw it up like that. It must be changing settings while the computer and phone are trying to negotiate. Whatever. It's fixed. Thanks again.

And Samsung. Oh Samsung. Why, oh why can't we just mount the drives? You know, like a USB stick, or the external hard drive I got for backup? That just works. Every time. There's an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, here's another: "If it's perfect, don't fix it either." USB drives are perfect. I remember when in order to add a device driver, one had to recompile the UNIX kernel. That was a piece of cake compared to what I just went through with that @#$%^ MTP/PTP stuff. And Google.

Did I go all grumpy? That will never do. :laugh::victory:silly::highfive::good::p;):D:cowboy::o:):rolleyes:

That's better. Thanks again.

[General Questions and Answers] Cizm:
possible fix for other peepz

Hi Guys, I managed to fix my MTP issue by doing this:

1. Disconnect your device

2. Uninstall Kies, Uninstall Samsung USB drivers from the control panel. If a driver refuses to uninstall try going to the folder of samsung and click it's own uninstaller icon.

3. Download CCcleaner then clean your registry, maybe back up your registry first before cleaning, then click fix selected issues.

4. Restart your pc, and then delete all samsung related folders from your drive. (make sure you delete only the samsung files for Kies and Usb Drivers)

5. after uninstalling all files, re-install Kies, *download a new installer from samsung website.

6. restart your pc and run ccleaner again, clean your registry files.

7. Install Kies

8. Plug your phone and then run Kies.

This worked for me. Hopefully, this works for you too..

Good Luck!

The Following Method Worked For Me Running Windows 7 Pro x64

Since the day I got my S3 I could not get it to sync with my Windows 7 x64 laptop, yet it would sync right up with my x86 (32bit) machines just fine. I tried every one of the above solutions, however none of them worked for me. I would still get the MTP Device Driver Failed. What I ended up doing to get mine to work was...

1. Click the Start button, type regedit, and hit Enter.

2. In the Registry Editor, click the registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.

3. In the details pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry, right-click that entry and then select Modify.

Note: If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it by selecting New on the Edit menu, followed by the DWORD Value, then typing ServicesPipeTimeout, and clicking Enter.

4. Click Decimal, enter 1000, and then click OK

5. Restart the computer.

Try plugging in your phone again.

[General Questions and Answers] iwzr4711:
I had the same issue with the Galaxy S3 and my Nexus 7. the solution was the same, but way less complicated as un/installing something.

Go to your Hardware Manager and checkout the hard ware id of your device (Open Device Manager -> Double click on the device in my case it was GT-I9300 -> select the Details tab -> Choose Hardware IDs in the list

Write down the VID and PID values

e.g.:

USB\VID_04E8&PID_685C&Rev_0226

USB\VID_04E8&PID_685C

Open notepad as administrator

Open the file C:\Windows\inf\wpdmtp.inf

Add the following lines below [Generic.NTx86] and [Generic.NTamd64]

Unplug your device and plug it in again

viola you can use it right away.

[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Had this issue myself and for me the solution was the hard-reset the phone and switch USB ports. Using it in the same port as my Kindle seemed to mess things up - and the hard-reset and switching fixed it.

I had uninstalled and re-installed drivers a million and three times before that.

I think this problem has many causes and my solution is just one.

Missing MTP driver files--fix

Possible solution for Win 7 x64:

I recently battled the problem at one of my clients, of the MTP drivers not installing properly for a Samsung S3 and Tab 2 10.1. After hours of digging, I determined that a couple of driver files had been removed from the client's PC previously, during the removal of a virus. Because of the missing files, the Samsung drivers would no longer install properly. NOTE: I also modified wpdmtp.inf (in the attached file) to force the Tab 2 and S3 to be recognized with the Generic Microsoft driver--not sure if this is actually necessary, but it worked on my client's PC.

The fix was to re-install the missing driver files:

1) Uninstall any Samsung MTP drivers.

2) Download the attached file and unpack it to an empty folder

3) In device manager, right-click on the failed MTP device and select Update Driver Software.

4) Click Browse My Computer for Driver Software

5) Browse to the folder in which you unpacked the file

The MTP device should now install correctly. If you still find that another component of your device fails installation, re-install the newest Samsung drivers. If everything goes good, it should now successfully install.

I'm sure that the same procedure would work for other operating systems as well, but you will have to obtain the correct files (I obtained these by copying them from a working PC)

[General Questions and Answers] Paresh Kalinani:
OK So, I had this problem too.

My phone was not detected as MTP by the computer.

My phone didn't detect that it was attached to a PC.

On my PC --It didn't work.

Another PC --It didn't work.

Even another PC --It didn't work.

Mac --It didn't work.

Tried all sorts of things written on many websites. --It didn't work.

There was no MTP option in the status bar. It just always charged using the PC.

THEN... Finally 1 day, when I was looking at the back of my CPU (PC ) I saw my USB 3.0 Ports (the Blue ones). I had never connected anything to them. So,

Tried on a USB 3.0 Port --It WORKED!

My phone was immediately detected as MTP. The option showed up in the status bar. I could transfer files. But then- What about my USB 2.0 Ports?

Then I did the following :

Dialed *#7248# for the PhoneUtil options.

Under 'UART' tap MODEM. Under USB, PDA.

If this is already your setting, choose the another ones (PDA for UART and MODEM for USB) and then tap SAVE and RESET.

Again dial *#7248# for the PhoneUtil options.

Under 'UART' tap MODEM. Under USB, PDA. Finally tap SAVE and RESET.

Your phone will now be detected as MTP with all types of USB Ports now.

One random solution

Ever since I got my Galaxy S3, it would not work in MTP mode on my desktop PC. I tried many of the solutions on these forums and others but never got it to work, which was fine since I didn't really need it. Today I was trying to find some files on the phone which were invisible in PTP mode so I started messing around and hunting for solutions again.

I found a solution completely by accident. While connected via USB cable, I ticked USB debugging off and then back on again and suddenly MTP mode started working. This may not work for others, I have no idea why it even worked for me. But I repeated the process and it somehow awakens MTP mode on my S3.

I'm sorry if this is old news (tried searching), I just thought posting it might help someone else in the future.
[General Questions and Answers] AFFAFXP:
How I solved this

1 Un-Install the Samsung Kies and Drivers on the PC

2 I then installed the Samsung USB driver for mobile phones version 1.4.6.0 Thats the version I use on Sprint SPH-L710

3 go to phone settings/developer options and un-check Stay awake then un-check USB debugging and then un-check Allow mock locations

4 hit home button your phone plug in the usb cord to the phone and PAINLESSLY fixed

in my studies and research it seems some believe that the Superuser on rooted phones is causing this and I dont think its correct as I used the

return to stock md4 in xda post with the root.zip i flashed before rebotting so the phone is fresh and rooted, and in this test the Kies installed with

developer options USB debugging and Allow Mocking Location checks and it all works FINE.. I then INSTALLED/FLASHED MOAR 5.? rom and

when it have the same settings Develope options USB debuggung and Allow Mocking Locations THEN and only THEN when plugging the USB cable to the phone Everything FAILS. Now if you UNPLUG the phone from the usb then in developer options un-check USB debugging and un-checking Allow Mock locations The plug The phone back in and instantly everything works and the phone drives load extremely fast and im using a generic 64gig sd card.

What I am observing is it appears to have something to do with both the option in developer options the USB debugging and Allow mocking locations when either is checked IN MOAR rom its fails only then, SOOOOOO its in the coding their in the ROM ?????

Either way this is a 1 minute FIX :)

Simple Fix that worked for me

After reading for hours, and trying everything under the sun in this forum, it turned out by simply removing the external SD card was my fix.

No Keis, no particular driver, nothing like that.

I simply powerd off the phone, removed the external SD, powered it back up, plugged it on and boom. Worked like a champ. Installed drivers and has worked since.

1. Remove Kies

2. Remove all Drivers

3. Remove external SD

4. Power up

5. PLug into PC, allow windows to install drivers

6. Power phone off, unplug from PC

7. Re-install the External SD card - power back up

Should continue to work. As a precaution, I also backed up the external SD and re-formatted it using the ClockWork Mod Recovery.

Hope this helps someone like it helped me.

I did this and everything worked for me as well, this should be stickied to top of the thread. Other than this, I also backed up the card contents, reformatted the card in the phone and then copied my content back to the card.
