[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZioAlfredo:
Hi everybody,

I have a 64-bit PC with Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 and a Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 with Android 4.1.2.

I can't install a driver in order to make Windows recognize correctly the phone when I connect it via USB cable.

I've installed and uninstalled Samsung Kies many times with no results. I've also tried some Samsung driver from Windows Update with no success...

When I connect the phone, it is recognized as a MTP Device and the driver installation starts, but always ends with an error, as shown in the attached screen-shot image.

What can I do?

Thank you very very much.

Note: in another PC with WinXP I have no problems.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King ov Hell:
Firstly make sure phone can run MTP (make sure if you delete MTP releated stuff in system you won't able connect it. Re-flash with Odin) Now if you don't have problem with phone then uninstall drivers & KIES from Windows. Don't just do a uninstall clear temp files, dll files, registry entries (you can use CCleaner) then install THIS DRIVERS.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZioAlfredo:
explanation

Hello, thank you for your answer.

How can I make sure my phone can run MTP?

For the complete uninstall, is it enough to run CCleaner, uninstall Kies and then perform the Registry Cleaner in CCleaner?

Thank you
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King ov Hell:
Did you root phone ? or installed a ROM or you just using it stock ?

I noticed something too; if you any have PIN or Password you have to unlock phone otherwise MTP not works. Unlock it and try too.

CCleaner will *probably* be enough but if you want to make sure go to regedit.exe and go to;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/

Then delete KIES & USB Driver stuff (don't delete system USB configs & drivers just Samsung's softwares :))

EDIT: In start menu click to RUN (or whatever I don't now it's name in English, you're entering a text) Then write

%AppData%

Then delete KIES & Samsung folders and files.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parameswaran Iyer:
I had the same problem when i formatted my PC 2 days ago. I did some trial and error and it worked.

1. Dont use any USB Hub if you are using.

2. Remove the Pattern lock or any password security etc. Go to lock screen and select 'None'. (I dont know why but windows doesn't recognise if the device is locked)

3. Have Kies installed. Even new version worked for me. I used 2.5.13043_14

4.Connect your device with the USB cable (Should have MTP option selected which is by default)

5. Windows automatically recognises now and installs the necessary files.

P.S:- Remove the security pattern, etc. It really works.

If worked then pls reply.;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZioAlfredo:
Hello,

I've disable any screen lock on my phone and I've connected the USB cable to another USB port (a 3.0 USB port) and Windows magically recognized correctly the device! (no Kies installed, only drivers)

Anyway, after some minutes of usage (cut-paste of files). Windows stopped recognizing the device...

If I disconnect the phone and then connect it back, Windows still recognizes it, but I have few minutes until the device stops being recognized and no file on it can be read...

See attached pictures

This is how my PC recognizes my phone. The driver seems to be old, but I've configured Windows for downloading drivers automatically and that is all it can do.

Today, th PC did not recognized the phone at once. Then I unmounted and mounted back the MicroSD card and the PC recognized it.

But, after few seconds of folder browsing, the PC lost the connection. I'm thinking that the problem is the SD card.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
So I got an Xperia U yesterday and spent 5 hours trying to dump TA (the main issue was rooting it without unlocking the bootloader which apparently isn't possible on GB, so I installed ICS, rooted it with the 2-click mode in Flashtool, copied mmcblk0p1 with dd)...

Then I returned to GB and installed a custom kernel. Just for fun I tried restoring the backup: well, it still booted, the service app says bootloader unlocked and keys error... but Track ID works fine (not the album art downloader feature, though)...

What's up with my phone?

Hello everyone, I have what some may consider a bizarre question. I am wondering if it is possible to use a galaxy s3 motherboard for an experimental device. For example, buy a screen assembly of a larger size, maybe 10 inch and use the motherboard to power it up. If its not possible with this phone in specific, could it be with another one? In case that it were possible, what would be the complications involved with this process. Thanks!

The S4 bootloader isn't locked by Knox, wherever you have read this it's a total BS.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
It may not be locked, but thanks to Knox it might as well be, as you can't touch it without triggering Knox.......
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandroid13:
So you trigger Knox and nothing else happens, just can't use it anymore.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No....just the fact that there is un-erasable proof that you have voided your warranty...... which, on a premium priced phone is a bad idea. I know that for most phone modders, triggering Knox is an acceptable risk, but for the few that have unrelated failures of the device.....to find that they have no recourse would be a REAL issue.......
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandroid13:
Knox warranty shouldn't be the same as device warranty. It only means that you can't use it anymore.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
Samsung never locked bootloader , they just add knox warranty void counter which is isn't restoreable to 0 outside Samsung service center

AFAIK this dont void warranty in all countries but it will in most of them
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I'm pretty sure I've read that the device can't be used on some company/business networks if Knox has been triggered......

I'm pretty sure I've *also* read that Samsung are going to try to use it as a breach of warranty too......
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandroid13:
Then it all goes down to how you approach them to request something. In the US it should be a hard time, but in the UE you are protected by the law, you can root your device freely. Here in Brazil they fixed my brick-bugged S2 under warranty.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Yeah....but a brick bugged device wouldn't power on, so there would be no way for Samsung to tell what OS you were using at the time it fried itself.......
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karmuh:
So as long as you don't care about using Knox or voiding your warranty, you can still root the S5 and use custom ROMs/bootloaders, right? I couldn't care less about warranties or Knox. It's been about a decade since I've used a warranty on one of my phones.

Whining? HOW RUDE ARE YOU?

FACT....phones DO suffer hardware failures.

'And Theft of service?'.......how *exactly* is rooting 'theft of service?'.......

Sent from my Infected KitKat bar.....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
Shut up.

Rooting is not theft of service. Theft of service is you claiming a warranty after you have breached the agreements of that warranty.

Samsung has incorporated flags to mark your devices for modification since the S2 THREE YEARS AGO. Triangle Away has been a morally dubious app to use, because people used it exactly for theft of service, they returned their device for servicing when something broke and cleared their warranty flag to be able to do so before sending it in. Just go check the S2 and S3 forums and they're full of people who did exactly this.

Now that suddenly this flag has been made un-revertible, people are suddenly all arms up about it. You've had a three year warning and developers knew that eventually they wouldn't be able to crack it anymore as the companies get better at perfecting their mechanisms.

Just look at this guy in this very thread. He basically is whining that he can't erase the proof of him voiding his warranty. If that's not the most blatant admission of theft of service then I don't know what is.

And besides, it has also absolutely nothing to do with Knox. The Knox flag is nothing else than the old warranty bit renamed and perfected.

Go ***** at your local governments to have better consumer protection laws and especially regarding software modifications voiding warranties. The EU and some other countries have these in place and one couldn't care less about this whole discussion.

"Knox" doesn't prevent you to root. It doesn't prevent you to install your custom ROM. It does prevent you to commit theft of service in certain countries.

As for actually really locked bootloaders such that on US carriers: Go blame the carriers, because they're the ones responsible.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbarker2:
Actually in some contracts/providers and on some phones due to technical reasons to get the root, it will void your warranty. So by your definition that is "theft of service".

The real issue is, why should the consumer pay $800 for a device and then not be allowed to customize it? It's as if you pay for something and don't really own it. The very agreement is one-sided in the extreme to the carriers and OEMs. They like to keep devices running the specific software they want in order to maximize profit, not consumer experience or reliability.

Arguable. Morality is not dictated by legality or contracts.

There's no such thing as perfect code or uncrackable software.

Nice idea and people should do that. But that type of sweeping legislative change takes lots of time and effort. Individuals can lend their voices to the cause but to affect this type of change requires organization. Until then, the consumer is stuck with a one-sided warranty that favors the carrier/OEM. So naturally, the most direct action consumers can take is to circumvent the terms via methods described already.

Knox doesn't lock the bootloader but it does restrict the boot loader. At least on Note 2 you can't flash older firmware. It does permanently change the device status to modified possibly rendering it useless for software upgrades.

My personal opinion one shouldn't need triangle away we should be able to install firmware like you can on any desktop. I am whining with my wallet not supporting Samsung and discouraging others from getting Samsung products. Samsung is pathetic taking sweet time to release updates yet go through great lengths to discourage others from updating their own phone manually

KNOX-enabled devices use kernel lock to prevent customized kernel images from booting" from samsungs Web site. This was about 1.0 and apparently efuse enabled hard brick of the s4 is already apart of the program. Now on to 2.0.....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qxps:
That also applies to the S4 and the only variants that have a locked bootloader are at&t and verizon. The rest allow you to flash anything, but if on 4.3 or later, you will change the knox counter and void your warranty, but again, you can flash anything.

We have yet to see if all the S5s will have a completely locked down bootloader like the at&t version of the S4, or if it will simply be a counter like for the rest of the other S4s.

Now read what you quoted with the rest of its context,

Thus, its clear a complete lockdown is carrier dependent, not samsung dependent, as they themselves state that you can run customized images in:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qxps:
I think these are the features of knox itself like the 1.0 has, as in, a carrier decides to lock it down, these would be new the features. It doesn't specify anything about being a constant security measure out of the box. Do you have the website for it so I can check if there is any available information about non-carrier issued devices?

edit:

I'm looking at the knox website but all the text implies that they are activated features of knox, whether for personal or enterprise use. They don't mention anything about it being out-of-box locks. From what I gather, the S5 will be the same as the S4. Flash a kernel, knox bit increases, warranty is void, phone is all yours to break and fix.

I'm worried that all manufacturers will begin locking down their bootloaders for AT&T and Verizon. It's a shame that Samsung is playing along with them but LG, HTC, and Motorola seem to be coming around with consumer desires. They're finally implementing sd slots, better/bigger screens/graphics, removable batteries, more RAM, faster CPU, etc. I'm not forced to buy Samsung and when a phone with specs like the S5 comes out with an unlocked bootloader, that's where I'm headed. I'm lucky to have gotten an S4 with MDL9 it so I can enjoy custom recovery. If I knew the lockdown was going to be in place, I would have waited. It's a shame that we have less development because of this. Is truly immoral for the companies to take an open source project and stunt it's growth. What they've done is theft. They've stolen our fun.
