After enabling developer mode and USB debugging of course. The phone should ask to accept the pc location as secure after USB driver upgrade. Installing KIES did not fix the problem on my Galaxy Note 3.

Answer 2

I had the same problem on windows with my samsung galaxy device .. installing samsung kies solved the problem for me.

Answer 3

I had loads of problem getting this to work when I switched to a new computer. I downloaded and installed Kies, but Windows 7 still didn't recognize my device. My problem was the proxy my company use, Kies tries to download USB drivers in the installation, but fails silently and finishes the installation.

You might have this problem if your USB Driver folder in the installation is empty (i.e C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver).

Solution for me: install Kies without a proxy.

Answer 6

This is a fairly common problem. You basically don't have the drivers you need for USB debugging.

There are a few different ways I've had to obtain drivers for phones. The first way you should attempt is to go into the Android SDK and AVD manager and download the Google USB driver debug package.

This may or may not give you the driver you need. If it doesn't you will have to do one of two things. One, add the device details to the driver file you just downloaded. Generally these will be posted on forums/boards discussing your phone type. Secondly, you can download a different driver from another source like the phone manufacturer.
