Using Home Switcher I switch back to TW, I get the MTP screen on the phone for a few seconds and then it returns to the home screen. A dialog box on the computer says:

Device driver software was not successfully installed

MTP USB Device XFailed
[Vibrant General] sablemonster:
I've had the same problem, when I plug my vibrant in and have the usb set to kies, it gets stock on the "initializing" screen on my phone. It locks the screen and nothing works. I have to reboot my phone every time. I've tried downloading all the latest software and drivers from samsung's website and still no luck.

Very frustrating.
[Vibrant General] gaalaagaa:
Same here.
[Vibrant General] flexxoo:
you guys have to go back to the stock firmware!!!!!!!!! then try

I havent modified anything from my phone. Its pure :) and still.... sigh
[Vibrant General] rogerchew:
1. unmount your external sd card

2. go back to touch wiz

that should work....if not, reinstall the usb drivers
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Done all that, still gat Failed on MTP USB Device
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
same, spent a couple hours today trying to **** with this (uninstall, reinstall, etc etc) and I am getting the same error. giving up, just gonna wait
[Vibrant General] gaalaagaa:
When o boot my pc on safe mode the htp installs but once i go to normal mode it wont.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
try this

Restart your computer

Tap the F8 key after your computer initially powers on.

Once you see the Advanced Boot Options menu you can stop tapping.

Select the option that says ‘Disable driver signature Enforcement

That didnt work for me. Hopefully works for someone else

I recommend using odin to update if you can. I never thought I would prefer odin over anything until I used kies.
[Vibrant General] Sapient Prophet:
I get this (attached pic).

I've tried reinstalling kies and drivers several times.

Edit: The Samsung Android USB Modem eventually fails too.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
I'm having the same issue. I'm using the stock firmware with the TW launcher and i've tried the USB drivers listed in the forums. Nothing seems to remedy this issue.

Me too and on two different PC's.
[Vibrant General] ram130:
I am currently doing the install. Just install KIES and now installing the USB drivers I posted above. I am using Windows 7 64bit.. Then I'm gonna plug in my phone in KIES mode. If all goes well I will TeamViewer to everyone who have the issue here and try to help you out. Anyways wish me luck! Got a samsung interview in the morning so I'll be going to be in 2hrs..
[Vibrant General] ram130:
The install went great! but samsung pulled the update :( ..oh well.. I suggest you guys download the drivers I posted above..extract it..then point the failed MTP to the folder and your good to go.

Odd. I had the same thing. Tried restarting, uninstalling, installing, installing the drivers provided here. Nothing seems to work. I suppose I'll wait for the OTA. It can't be that far off now.

If you like me was having the MTP not installing issue just follow the directions from this site, worked perfectly and fast.

Brie987....i love you. After spending all day trying absolutely everything you finally came and save the day "at least my day". Everythimg imstalled in less than 2 seconds. Now my problem is that my device doesnt support firmware upgrade. So imma research about that now. Anybody having the MTP fail problem should try the guide....
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I had to delete 3 files and now it works, damn, that was just too easy.
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
+1 for this. I also virus scanned at jotti (don't have link no foresight) and it's clean, obv. and it works. had 4 files i guess that f'ed it up.
[Vibrant General] bcmatteagles:
This also corrected my error - thanks so much for posting this link!
[Vibrant General] brie987:
I'm glad to be able to help. Funny thing is I have yet to go back to stock firmware for this to be completely working, Hahaha.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
Kies still can't connect to my phone. It let windows correctly identify my phone, but kies just keeps saying "connecting the device."
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Did all the drivers install properly? Can you get to it with adb?
[Vibrant General] Pig Vomit:
I ran the long filename checker and it found nothing. Tried pretty much everything. I eventually reformatted all the drives, did a factory reset with stock firmware, and the driver loaded right up and Kies works.

Of course, Kies totally blows. I used to have trouble syncing my Calendar from Outlook 2010, but now that works just fine.

Kies does a great job of initially syncing Contacts from Outlook.....but always hangs at 29% on attempts to sync Contacts after the first attempt. Have not been able to figure this out. If anyone can solve this or offer any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I don't like clouds.
[Vibrant General] jscarano:
The long file checker program fixed the MTP connect but of course Samsung pulled the update now it says no firmware for this device. Oh well...waiting for OTA :mad:
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
what's adb?
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
adb is a command line tool for pushing files to your device. If you are going try using experimental or custom ROMs you need to understand the use of adb and ODIN (another tool) so that you can undo something if it borks up.
[Vibrant General] erhan82:
something similar happened to me...my phone (stock vibrant) will not recognize any computer, therefore not allowing me to mount as a storage device. I remember when I 1st got the phone I was able to use it a few times, then i had no reason for use so I left it alone. But after a reset, as well as downloading drivers directly from tmobile & samsung, nothing worked. Tech support even told me there shouldnt be a need to download any drivers it should just be recognized. After a few hours of going through every setting possible they (tmobile) finally agreed to send me a replacement.
[Vibrant General] Algorismus:
I have captivate, and mtp device driver couldnt be installed.

I uninstalled drivers and kies, installed media player 11. Then mtp device driver is succesfully installed.
[Vibrant General] sinean:
mtp driver

I had tons of issues with the driver until I removed the usb cable from the monitor (which acts as a usb hub) and plugged the usb cable directly into the motherboard usb port. Everything worked after that.
[Vibrant General] TheExpertNoob:
This worked for me! i have JI6 installed with a custom lock screen. make sure your on TW launcher tho.

Someone Please help!!

Now that the official Froyo update is finally out, im having installing the Vibrant drivers on my PC (windows 7 pro 32-bit)... I have tried bunch of different drivers from the internet but nothing seems to work... idk what is going on someone please suggest something different that i can do thats not already in the thread... i hate this ****!

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant General] NSingh95:
solved my own!

finally i got updated successfully. These steps were i did: remove SD card, enable USB debugging, installed Kies Mini ( but don't restart computer after Kies Mini installed), open the Kies Mini, connected the phone to PC, waited for drivers being installed, after drivers were installed, Kies Mini recognized my phone, then i hit update. Hope this help.
[Vibrant General] TheNean:
I got the MTP to install correctly but when i try connecting to KIES MINI, It does nothing. I let it sit for a while and it just does nothing.
[Vibrant General] TheNean:
Never mind got it going. Just had to put phone into USB Debugging mode.
[Vibrant General] babeluvmeh:
I succeeded!!!

:p Ok, I'm a noob who gets lucky by pushing buttons... hehe

I tried everything.. and I mean everything! I've been online for two days just doing this. installing, uninstalling, til I said Im tired... Last try....

On my phone I factory reset uncounted times... I tried FileSearcherforKiesFix and manually rebooting the phone, formatting...(holding power and vollume buttons when restarting bring up page on phone) Solution is after you factory reset plug in you cel as mass media. go to my computer and erase everything on your cel and media card. for me it was disk f for media and disk e for my cel. I copied everything first in another folder just in case I bricked my cel by doing so. but it didnt erase anything but the left overs of past apps... :D (cel is now ready!!!)

On my PC (windows 7 64) I manually uninstalled all samsung drivers in device manager. (after I unmounted my cel) Then uninstalled them in add/remove programs in the control panel. And just for good measures I deleted the folders of samsung. ( C:\Program Files (x86)\samsung and in C:\Program Files\samsung).

Then I updated windows.

Earlier on I chatted w/ a rep on samsung.com and though they couldnt help me they gave me this link. good for all computers. (choose on this page is mac or windows) samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=364488

I followed the simple instructions. :D installed kies mini and restarted my computer...

*Deep breath, fingers crossed*:confused:

:rolleyes:

it was recognised when i plugged in my cel via mass storage... so maybe...

Yehey! :D FINALLY!!!

Everything was recognised! I opened kies mini. it asked to be updated. unplugged my cel and plugged it in again vie kies mode and phone was connected!!! *BOW*

Thank you everyone who posted info here coz it lead me down the right path... only advise missing was for the file on disk e&f to be erased after factory setting reboot..;):o:p:):):D:cool:

*ps They wont let me post a link since its my first post. u can just email me for it. :D

Here are the instructions on connecting your Samsung Wave GT-S8500 phone to Kies.

1. Close Kies

2. Remove phone and USB from PC

3. Select Samsung Kies under Settings > Connectivity > USB > Samsung Kies

4. Press and hold menu button on the phone > select 'end all applications'

5. Connect phone to USB

6. Connect USB to PC (I am running Windows 7 64 Bit)

7. Windows will automatically install MTP driver and opens up its own window to manipulate the contents of the phone

8. Now start Kies --> it will now recognize the phone

Done!
[Droid X Android Development] chammer:
I hope this is the right place to post this, if not my apologies. I've had my Droid X for two weeks now, and have done a few customizations to it (NexTheme, root, BusyBox) and to be honest I'm bored already even though I'm still getting used to this phone...and even though it's my first Android powered device, and second smartphone.

Anyways, I want to dig into the guts of this and possibly contribute. I have been working with some form of Unix since the early 90's, and I'd like to think I'm quite experienced with it. :)

This is where I need assistance. Even though I'm quite adept with my Google-Fu, I'm still not able to point myself in the correct direction. I have a terminal app on the phone, and adb on my pc, however...to be frank...they both suck. Perhaps it's the limits of a mobile Linux platform and not having proper term types defined, but I can't get a decent working environment setup to navigate the filesystem in a comfortable and easy to read way. It's making it extremely difficult to see where I am, where I've been, and the files/directories and their permissions, etc etc. Have tried setting and resetting various TERM env types, but nothing seems to change the layout/display.

I had found an SSHd how to hoping I could install SSHd on the phone and just SSH in from a proper terminal, but it's from 2008 and deals with the G1. I wasn't able to get the steps to work for me. :(

Short of what I've already tried, what other options are there...if any? I don't know what, if anything, I could contribute to the community...but I'd like to give it a real go, and I *really* do love to mess with things heh heh.... :)
[Droid X Android Development] mattyboy1013:
The easiest way i have seen to navigate through your file system is using root explorer on the market.
[Droid X Android Development] pchops:
Since you have adb set up, you should be able to execute "adb shell". Also, there seems to be an emulator included in the sdk, though I haven't used it myself.
[Droid X Android Development] chammer:
mattyboy1013: I'm looking for a non-gui shell based method of navigation. A terminal is a lot easier and quicker for me.

pchop: Yea, I've used adb shell when manually rooting, and I wasn't too keen on how it laid things out. Particularly in a single column making navigation difficult. I'll take a look at the emulator though, and see what it does. Thanks. :)
[Droid X Android Development] TheBigBentley:
I may be wrong but isn't android a java platform sitting on top of unix?
[Droid X Android Development] chammer:
That's my understanding as well, and I'd like to navigate it as if it were a Linux box, ie: through a console. Problem is, the two terminal apps I have access to (as mentioned above - terminal emulator and adb shell) present the file system in a single column and with no sorting. It makes navigating and seeing whats available quite difficult.

What I'm looking for, if it even exists, is a terminal app that will display in rows and columns, and sorting alphabetically with directories first then files. Basically how most Linux distributions do by default and have for years.

I tried some more with my attempts at getting SSHd on the phone by compiling dropbear myself via the android source, but no go. The compile bails on me even after several fixes and attempts. Was hoping SSH in via a gnome-terminal, xterm, eterm, etc on one of my Linux boxes would set a proper TERM environment that the phone would respect, but I may be barking up the wrong tree there as well.

Dunno, I'm just in search of something to play with, and heck...doing all of the above has kept me pretty busy anyways lol. :)

Running dc3.5 with launcher pro. I've got the search widget on my home screen and after the first time I use it after a reboot it jumps to the top of the screen and doesn't work at all anymore till I reboot. The search key will bring up the keyboard to enter text but won't actually enter anything into the text field. Any ideas why this is happening? I'm sure it's an issue with launcher pro because I was having the same problem when I was running the widget and lp on dc 3.2.x before I lost my old evo (rip :( )

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudewithnofood:
lucky you. I'm gonna try to uninstall and reinstall both again.

Also, I've switched roms to Ava6 and i'm still experiencing the same problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsangree:
fixed

I had the same problem and finally came up with an easy fix. I know its going to sound weird but bear with me.

First hold down on the searchbar and drag it to the trashcan. Now go to another page, yes it does have to be another page. Clear a desktop row that is not the top row. Hold down on the blank row and add the Google search widget there. Now hold down on it and move it back to where you originally had it. And fixed......

Hope it works for you.

Google search brought me here... I can confirm that this does seem to work; I'm using LP v0.7.6.0 on a Samsung Captivate SGH-I897 running leaked froyo build
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themassofthesun:
I had this same issue, reinstalling LP fixed it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
Im also having this issue. Ill try those strategies. So far moving the bar around hasn't helped. Running leaked Froyo on Samsung Captivate.

Edit: Problem solved by using "Google Search" widget rather than "Search" widget. They look and preform the same. Why I have two of those and what the material differences are, I'm not sure! (maybe one is an updated form and one is legacy)

Do you guys think when you re-installed LP you may have switched with search widget you used?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbernusg:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
I have the captivate with bloatware removed, unhelpful's overclock kernel, and the lag fix, I get quadrant scores as high as 2505. I was wondering if the phone its just that awesome or if there were similar mods to snapdragon phones that give them similar performance. i know they can be overclocked.

I guess what I'm getting at is that my phone would hang on the file system tests in quadrant until the lag fix where the score nearly tripled! Is this something unique to the galaxy s do to a flaw or are there similar problems on other phones that could be fixed and yield similar performance to my phone? Or is the galaxy s cpu, gpu and ram and other components just that much better?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
My $0.02 says the galaxy s as a processing unit is slightly better than the older snapdragon. Better optimised, newer (45nm > 60nm) etc. There could very well be processing issues on other chips too. We wont know until someone finds them. Bear in mind however, the Snapdragon chips are likely to be much better optimised for android operating systems - as android is developed on that reference hardware - e.g. nexus one uses a quallcomm snapdragon and gets a massive jump with JIT, froyo. However, droid X, Droid 2 with froyo dont see nearly as high increases in performance.

The GPU is known to be significantly better on the Galaxy S phones. However, its only a matter of time before the next gen snapdragons take the lead again (or at least play catch up)....and somehow I wont be surprised if the subsequent Galaxy S 2 devices retake the lead :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Pretty much what I was thinking, from what I understand the snapdragon has up to 20% greater throughput than a standard arm v7 processor but the hummingbird needs 15-25% fewer instructions to do the same task. I wish I could remember the reference for that. In other words, snapdragon works harder and hummingbird works smarter.

I knew as far a shear performance it would come down to the gpu but didn't know any details on that.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glio1337:
The issue that slows the Galaxy models is Samsung's proprietary file system. The lagfix improves performance by wedging in between the filesystem and providing a buffer built with a modern filesystem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLoki:
The massive score increase in Quadrant is due to the file IO being MUCH MUCH faster when the lag fix is applied. If you were to look at the professional version of Quadrant (which breaks down the scores into their categories) the File I/O portion would be in the mid to high 6000's, which really unbalances the score..

I'm a complete noob at this, so bear with me.

I don't have a data plan with my Verizon xv6900, and I'd like to run Incubus Froyo from the SD card. How hard is it to disable any data apps in a full package like Incubus' so I don't get charged an arm and a leg for data usage? Is it just a matter of disabling wireless networks etc, or will some apps still try to use data without my permission?

I've successfully installed the stripped down version under the "How to use Android without a data plan" thread, but I'd like to use Incubus instead.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Leryan:
There is an option under Wireless & Network settings -> Mobile networks -> Data enabled.

If checked -> data works

If not checked -> data doesnt works :)

Simply like wifi -> checked, working / unchecked, not working

or you could use

it is incubus' froyo build just with out all the data using apps, you can also use and nbh editor to turn on ppp nostart this would turn off all data

Install android without simcard.

Then use wifi or sdcard to install apps that disable dataplan and delete all mobile networks, disable networks gernerally.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
he has a problem there, he doesnt have a sim card or wifi
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dertester123:
?? He does not have a data plan but no sim??? (didn read that O.o??? )

So the problem i see for him:

After first boot before he can change settings some apps try to use data connection which cost money on a "by call"-plan or smth like that. Apps like market widget etc....

So wouldnt it be enough to to make the first boot without simcard, so he can turn off all data settings?

If he needs an app he can try to download the .apk and install with the sdcard. (i know it works, but i dont know where to get apk´s )
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dertester123:
Ah okay.. its the first time i hear about this.. here in germany there are only simcards to use the phone, i think...

How does this work with cdma? How does the provider gets the information who you are?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
basicly instead of a sim card all the phones have a serial # or ESN that is then tied to your phone number, this also means for switching phones you have to call and have the ESN changed instead of SIM switching

Incubus froyo without a data plan

thanks for the replies. I "think" i've got all the data disabled. I'll be watching my data usage for a bit just to make sure.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
Sorry. I know this is old, but for anyone else reading this thread and trying to figure it out just call Verizon as ask for a "data block" for your line. It is free, and prevents their network from even allowing data to your device. This is a setting on your plan, so even if you flash/re-flash your phone a dozen times, data will not be sent and you won't get any charges - no need to change anything in the ROMs you flash. If you do not have a data plan then you should have this setting on your plan anyway.
