Further to my previous post here: http://liamcrayden.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-adb-usb.html
I am most disgusted at having to install Samsung Kies just to have the drivers available for my Samsung Galaxy Note. When connecting my phone to a system without Kies, even if I just want to use it as a mass storage device, I have to repeatedly click through dialog boxes to get rid of drivers that Windows can't find.
CDC Serial
SAMSUNG_Android
ADB etc etc.
Installing Samsung Kies does indeed install these drivers and get rid of those driver installation prompts every time I plug in my phone, but its also over 200MB in size (and thats just the compressed download!) and is full of bloatware which seriously impacts the performance and startup time of my PC.
For those of you in my position, here are the drivers that you need. You can use these without Kies.

V.Q.
Great to hear and I'm glad this helped you out.
DeleteIt's really sad when I contact Samsung for advice and get nowhere, but get exactly what I need the first time from you. Thanks a million!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much ran in to the same problem with Samsung. 2 years on and unfortunately I have switched to an iPhone 5S. Regretted it ever since.
Deletethanks Liam
ReplyDeleteHi, I install file: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe and my problem was resolved. Thank you.
ReplyDeletethank you!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes this work for note 2 phones? I'm still having trouble trying to connect. I would never have bought this phone if I knew it relied on this bloatware.
ReplyDeleteHi Chop. Yes this also works for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 :)
DeleteYou rock! Now I can tinker with the SD storage default settings on my Note 2, THANKS!!!
ReplyDeleteLiam,
ReplyDeleteI've tried both the manual drivers install via Device Manager and using the Wizard. My PC at home is XP with SP3 and I have all other prerequisites installed according to Samsung. The drivers simply will not successfully install! Do I have to completely de-install the Kies SW for the driver installs to work?
I've been working hours on trying to sync my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to my PC to download large video clips & many photos.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Glenn

The files fully support the Galaxy Note 2. If you're having problems then I would suggest completely uninstalling the Kies software first and rebooting.
DeleteIt's possible that Windows Update is downloading files which it thinks are "newer" or "more suitable", so my advice would be to disconnect from the internet before you install the drivers from my link.
Connect the phone BEFORE installing if you are using the advanced Device Manager method. Connect the phone AFTER installing if you are using the .EXE wizard.
