Samsung is constantly differentiating them from the design, Software, and OS. Even if All Samsung Galaxy mobiles work on Android OS, When you compare it with other mobiles, It looks like Samsung has a different OS. They always use heavily custom skin to stand alone compared with other manufacturers. Also, Samsung knows how to support users after-sales. They are the ones who introduce the perfect official PC suite with all features like flashing firmware. All these features have some drawbacks also. Not all Samsung mobiles are compatible with general ADB drivers. Below, we list all versions of Samsung Galaxy USB drivers, from old to latest. Based on your model and compatibility, you can choose one.
We need specific Samsung USB Drivers to make a connection. A Samsung SmartSwitch is enough to perform basic operations. But we need Samsung USB Drivers to function correctly with ODIN when we want to flash firmware or Root.

Installed, but PC can’t detect the mobile.
Most of the time, your mobile media files can be accessed through a PC. This means we installed the driver correctly. When you can’t see the mobile logo on devices, check in the Control Panel whether you installed the file correctly. If you install the file other than the OS path, Uninstall the USB driver and install it again with the OS driver.
ODIN can’t identify the mobile
Most users use ODIN for flashing firmware and root methods. For this purpose, the USB driver is mandatory. ODIN can’t check your mobile when you don’t install the USB driver. The ODIN issue can happen for several reasons. When ODIN has identified your device, you will get the message “Added.” When you can’t see the message, it means there is an error.
Install the latest ODIN.

Use Different USB Cable

Installing more than one USB driver may create a conflict in some situations. To avoid this, we have to Uninstall one of the USB drivers. Also, when you use Samsung SmartSwitch, it will install the USB driver by default. Check the availability in the control panel and remove USB drivers if you find more than one.
- You can remove the Control Panel> Programs> Programs and Features installation. Based on your version installation, You can find the file name.

Afraid to download a driver file since I couldn’t find out which one is applicable to my device. Discussion indicated that different downloads applied to different devices, but I found no guidance on which applied to specific devices. Therefore, I’m still stuck with a non-functioning device. None of the simple (basic) fixes work for me.
It will work with all Samusng Galaxy Devices.
This driver fixed the connection issue with my Galaxy phone. Thank you!
