Not just that, a USB connection also plays an indispensable role when it comes to things like flashing the stock firmware, rooting, executing ADB commands, etc on your Samsung Galaxy mobile phone/tablet.
We often cover tutorials for various Samsung Galaxy devices which involve transferring files to or from the device’s storage or flashing firmware files.

Roger Bratseth
Hi, does someone have any experience with Samsung USB modems, specifically the GT-B3710 4G/LTE? I have connected it to my Windows 10 laptop, and the OS mounts several WAN protocols/technologies, but I guess I need a certain software to configure this device. I have searched on Google for manual and software, but difficult to find something useful.
Dhananjay
Hi Roger. Once the phone is connected, please go to Control Panel > Device Manager on your Windows 10 PC. In there, uninstall any or all drivers that show up when you connect the device.
After that is done, install the Samsung USB drivers provided above and restart your PC. Then connect your phone and see if it works.

Hello Dhananjay
I already have installed version 1.5.51.0 installed on my Windows 7 which I use for USB debugging. Is it necessary to download version 1.5.63.0 ? Please let me know.
Dhananjay
Hi Rajdeep. If v1.5.51.0 is working fine and isn’t causing any issues while debugging or MTP, then I don’t think there’s really any need to download v1.5.63.0.
Rajdeep Singh
Thank you so much Dhananjay and here’s wishing you all the best for your future ambitions
shinon
my device really not recognizing my phone. i already installed that samsung driver, but my odin still not recognize it but my pc recognize but can’t show the folder of samsung itself
Dhananjay
Hi. Please make sure that Kies or any other Samsung software/PC suite is not running while you use Odin.
Next, keep in mind that Odin will only detect your phone while it is in Download Mode.
And lastly, also try using a different USB port on the PC/laptop.
Armasa
i think you dont choose your region, reinstall again
Dhananjay
Hi. Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment here and help others!
