The SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM17) driver helps Windows recognize the serial communication interface exposed by a compatible Samsung mobile device over USB. It is useful if your device appears with a warning in Device Manager or software cannot access its USB serial connection.
Key Features
- Enables USB serial communication between supported Samsung mobile devices and compatible PC software.
- Allows Windows to identify the mobile serial interface under Ports (COM & LPT) in Device Manager when that interface is available.
- Supports applications that require a COM port for compatible device communication, diagnostics, or servicing.
- Helps resolve recognition problems caused by a missing, damaged, or incompatible serial-port driver.
COM17 is the port number assigned by Windows, not a separate Samsung hardware model. Your computer may assign a different COM number after reconnecting the device or changing USB ports.
How to Install SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM17) Driver
- Check your Windows version and system architecture. The listed supported operating systems are Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; verify that the specific package supports your device and 32-bit or 64-bit installation. For Windows 10/11 systems, do not assume Windows 11 compatibility unless the package documentation confirms it.
- Before starting your SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM17) driver download for Windows, confirm the package’s source and compatibility. Choose a trusted free download and check its digital signature where available.
- Disconnect your Samsung device if the installer instructs you to, then run the downloaded setup file. Follow the prompts to install the driver. If the package contains only driver files, extract them and use Device Manager’s Update Driver option to browse to the extracted folder.
- Restart Windows if requested, then connect the device using a data-capable USB cable. Make sure the device exposes the required serial interface; not every USB connection mode provides one.
- Open Device Manager and check for the Samsung serial-port entry without a warning icon. If your application requires a port selection, choose the COM number currently shown rather than assuming it is always COM17.
Keep the driver updated when Samsung provides a compatible release or when troubleshooting connection issues. The latest version is not necessarily suitable for every older Windows installation, so review compatibility before you update and retain a working package in case a rollback is needed.
