usb\vid_04e8&pid_6860&rev_0400
We can breakdwon the usb\vid_04e8&pid_6860&rev_0400&ms_comp_mtp&samsung_android hardware ID on here. Lets see what the hardware ID can tell us. Likewise we already know that this comes from Samsung and only the first few digits tells us what the hardware is.
What the Vendor ID (VID) vid_04e8 identifies the vendor which we know is Samsung. Likewise everyone knows the Samsung mobile phone products. Vendor 04e8 is the Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd vendor code. In addition the Product ID (PID) pid_6860. It identifies the product as a Galaxy A5 (MTP) device. Note also the there is a Revision Number (REV) rev_0400. So we now know that this Hardware ID is for the Samsung Galaxy A5 MTP device chip. This is from the Samsung mobile phone products. The full installation and troubleshooting can be found under the page Samsung USB device driver.
Note that the term “ms_comp_mtp” stands for “Microsoft Composite Media Transfer Protocol.” Likewise it refers to a composite USB device class specification developed by Microsoft. This for facilitating the transfer of media files between a computer and a portable media device. The Samsung Android is no different. You will note that this appears in the hardware ID as ms_comp_mtp&samsung_android.
MTP Protocol
Firstly the Composite Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is a standardized protocol that allows the seamless exchange of multimedia content, such as photos, videos, and audio files, between devices. Secondly it enables efficient and consistent communication between a host device (such as a computer) and a target device (such as a digital camera, smartphone, or portable media player).
Note that the “ms_comp_mtp” designation signifies that a device is using Microsoft’s implementation of the Composite MTP protocol. It indicates that the device supports the necessary drivers and software required to establish an MTP connection with a computer running a compatible operating system, such as Windows.
When a device is recognized as “ms_comp_mtp” by a computer, it implies that the computer can communicate with the device using the MTP protocol and provides the necessary functionality to transfer media files, manage folders, and perform other related operations between the two devices.
