There was an invention that came out some two decades ago now called the Universal Serial Bus (or USB for short). Since 1994, the USB port has been helping people connect to computers with various bits of technology.

The first smartphone was created in 2007 and when it was released one of the features it came with was the ability to connect it to a computer with the USB cable and making use of that USB port that is available on the computer.

Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime

If you are going to connect your Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime smartphone to the computer with the USB cable and the computer is running Windows then the USB cable alone isn’t enough to bridge the connection between mobile phone and computer. The computer also needs to have the right OEM USB Drivers installed on it before it can bridge the connection.

There are many ways one can get the right OEM USB Drivers installed on a computer that is running on a version of the Windows operating system. Some of the methods out there are difficult to follow, and others end up installing more on the computer than just the driver packages alone.

One way to beat both of the mentioned problems is by installing the Universal Windows ADB Driver that is meant to install the USB Drivers on a computer that is running Windows for most mobile devices out there that run on the Android operating system. The Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime smartphone is one of the devices that is on the list.

You can have way more fun on your Samsung Galaxy J5 smartphone when you start connecting it to the computer with the USB cable and running apps like the Odin downloader. With Odin, you can do things like install official software updates, install custom recoveries and flash rooting files to give your device full system access. Using an application on the computer in conjunction with your Samsung Galaxy J5 smartphone is usually pretty simple; however, it can seem tricky if your drivers are not up to date and working.

By using the guide below, you are installing the up to date USB drivers for the Samsung Galaxy J5 smartphone so you can connect it to the computer and transfer files from the smartphone to the computer, or from the computer to the smartphone. These files you are transferring can include music files, video files, text messages, MP3 files, stock ROMs and more. The options are limitless — if it’s a file and you can usually transfer it, then the drivers will make that all happen.
