In my case the USB MTP driver works fine only when I attach my Samsung S3 without the SIM card in it (using Kies 3).
Then it's a SIM card issue?

Today I found another way to avoid the driver error, so to resume:
ensure that one of the following two preconditions are fulfilled:

- SIM card removed from the phone before connecting USB cable
Note: only when Windows has finished recognizing the phone, if needed, it's also possible to reinsert the SIM card into the phone (while the phone is still hooked up to the PC).

...or...

- SIM card in the phone and "airplane mode" activated before connecting USB cable.
Note: only when Windows has finished recognizing the phone, if needed, it's also possible to disable the "airplane mode".

...then I can properly do what I want with Kies 3.

How I fixed the error. Another way to try.

Hi.

I found this with google over the site transformerforums.com /forum/guides-tips-tricks/34852-how-solve-mtp-issues-all-android-devices
(I`m not allowed to post links here)

And i went into Settings > More > Application Manager > All

Look for Media Storage, and clear the data.
Look for MTP Application, and clear the data.

After that, just to be sure, I restarted the device, and... (only after it all I realized I left the phone pluged on the PC, and seems not to make a difference). :p

After phone boot up, I unpluged and pluged back in, and all drivers installed the right way.

I hope it help some of you guys. :fingers-crossed:

This was the only thing that worked!!! :good: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have a Note 3 (SM-N900T) and I knew the problem had to be with the ROM (Bobcat v7.0) instead of with the O.S. because when I ran other ROM's, connectivity was not a problem. In my case, the registry tweak didn't work and there was no "UpperFilters" for the keys I was directed to. Creating and deleting them didn't make any difference either. I'm just glad I kept reading to the end of the thread.

Thanks again!!

I've tried everything and I can't find a solution, I've done all the techniques suggested here and nothing. When I try to update the drivers it just comes up with SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device. Access is denied. has anyone got any suggestions? This is happening on my tab 2 and s4 mini, so it must be my PC.

Thank you for this, was trying to get a Samsung Galaxy Note to connect.
After having to manually point it to the drivers folder, they installed but would not start.

The registry keys seemed a little different to how you described, I am on Windows 7 64-bit, but found:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{EEC5AD98-8080-425F-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}\
Deleted the value "UpperFilters", plugged the USB back in, and it worked!

Now can happily sync using the Samsung Kies software.

( Note to others, backup first, right click the key tree you are editing, choose export. Run the .reg to restore any screw ups. )

Thanks,
The solution works like a charm on my Xiaomi MI-3 :good:

wow, i didnt have high hopes for this since no other fixes worked, but this actually worked! flawlessly!

To anyone running vista: the keys are the SAME as in the OP, mine were named exactly like his. Great work OP!! Im a rom developer and i could never get my samsung devices recognized so i would have to use Airdroid to transfer my roms to my phone and it would take forever Thanks so much man!

Thank you for this, I did clear the data on Media Storage and then there no MTP App on the list? It's missing? so I copy/move "MtpApplication.apk, MtpApplication.odex" back to system/app. Set -rw-r--r--. Reboot. Windows MTP Installed success, BAM It's works!

Make sure you have MtpApplication.apk/odex in to system/app. Set -rw-r--r--.

I hope it help some of you guys...

Hi bros, thanks, i fixed it too
OS=Xp Sp3
Phone=Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Duo
Software=Kies3 and Windows Media Player 11 Update

xp3 users get the latest Windows Media Player 11 for XP from microsoft site that is the key.
If necessary uninstall the device from Device Manager and connect again..
That is it and now Kies 3 detects the phone Ok.

Also I was wondering it is a pity that a company like Samsung does not inform or mention solutions for the many many similar problems they know the customers face. And people have to help each other to solve the issues themselves spending hours and hours of frustrating struggle.
I think so many experts in Samsung or other companies can do much better than this. They can at least collect the solutions people find themselves and put them somewhere in their site for easy reference.

Other approach to MTP failed install for Galaxy S4

I've read all the 8 pages of this thread, and no solution was good for me (no UpperFilters, no clear data, no Kies reinstall, etc.).

But I ran into a very simple solution that finally allowed the S4 to be recognized:

- Disconnect your S4 from your PC.
- Unmount your SD card from the Storage menu.
- Turn off your phone and remove the SD card.
- Turn on your phone and after boot, reconnect the phone to your computer. Now it should be able to recognize your Galaxy S4.
- Disconnect your phone, turn it off and reinsert your SD card.
- Turn on your phone and after boot, reconnect the phone to your computer. Now you can see the SD content

Original thread I've found this answer (new user, not allowed to post a link yet):
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/samsung-galaxy-s4-mtp-device-driver-wont-install/d2d011f8-d776-488e-b2f7-3eaf00c1031a

Hopefully this help other here!

Upgrade to Windows Media Player 11

    Hey people...
    Just wanted to post a solution to a problem apparently a lot of users are experiencing...

    When you first attach your phone to the pc by USB, the drivers have to be installed. (Here is a good ressource, where you can always dowload the latest drivers extracted from the Samsung Kies Package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655286)

    Now it could happen, that all of the drivers install successfully, but one of them, the "Samsung Mobile MTP Device", which cannot be installed, since there's always a CODE 10 (This device cannot start).

    As I searched for quite a while for a working solution with no luck (there are different solutions, but none of them worked for me, as in my case it wasn't a faulty-driver problem...), i finally remembered a solution to a similiar case with a DVD-RW Drive. I tried the same process with my actual driver problem, and it worked right away... :good:

    HERE's THE SOLUTION:
    1. Go to the Registry Editor (Start --> Run --> "regedit" --> [ENTER])
    2. Search the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
    3. If you click one of the few subkeys in class (e.g. {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}) you'll find the string value (Standard) on the right side with a value (e.g. DVD/CD-ROM-Drives)
    4. You have to find the value "Portable Devices" on the string value (Standard) (In my case {EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}, but I don't know if they are called always the same.
    5. Once found, you see a string value called UpperFilters --> DELETE IT!
    6. Finished! :) Now your Samsung Mobile MTP Device should be recognized and even installed correctly right away. (The name of the device changed to GT-I9100 (Devicemanager) in my case...)
    Here an explanation about UpperFilters and LowerFilters if you want to know more: http://djlizard.net/2007/04/30/230/

    Maybe this short tutorial can save you some time... =)

    Best regards to all of you!

    Update your windows media player

    I am having Windows XP SP3 and I was experencing the same USB MTP installation failure, I updated my Windows Media Player and it fixed the problem. The option in Windows Media Player Help->Check for updates was not working, so I downloaded Media Player from Microsoft webiste and installed it and after that driver is now working fine.
