I've tried rebooting, wiped cache and Dalvik, pulled the battery and no success. This recently started happening. Running:
MYN RLS5
NetArchy 4.3.1-bfs-havs w/sbc

Also rebooted pc and tried a different USB port and still no luck. I'm unable to upload any files because of this. Any suggestions? Oh this all occurs when plugging into a PC. The other weird thing is that it thinks it's plugged into AC when plugged into a USB port.

Flash your rom again, it will probably fix it. I had the exact opposite problem if you can believe it. Every time I plugged in it would automatically mount the SD card for file transfer, even though the screen had popped up and I selected charge only. Reflashing my rom at the time cleared it up.
What happens when you pull down the notification menu and click the charging button? Is the button even there, or does the options menu not come up when you click it?
I had the same thing happen same rom 2 days ago still doesnt work on my windows 7 I tried on my old computer and it worked "old computer is windows xp"

You can also make sure "pc syncronization" is running. If you have it disabled or have removed it you will get this problem. Not saying this is the problem you are having just something to check.

Just for future reference, the problem you're talking about here was probably due to Doubletwist or Winamp. Both have options that will cause it to mount regardless of what you choose in the prompt. I think they default to off normally, but you might have turned it on by mistake. I did that with Winamp once and it drove me nuts until I figured out what was doing it.
I spoke too soon. I flashed everything 1 at a time, ROM, then, kernel, then themes; did a wipe cache and dalvik wipe everytime. It was working last night and now I get to work today and it's not. I've even tried in recovery mode (clockwork) to mount the USB, but nothing happens. This is getting to be frustrating now. Only thing different is the cables; the cable at home is a cheap dollarstore cable which works with no problems and the cable here at work is from a blackberry which has been working fine. I've even rebooted my desktop which is running WinXP. Any suggestions? Not running winAMP or doubletwist as they suck.
I also get a strange error when wiping cache:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Any idea what this is or means?
I have no idea what the error means, but here's what I'd do.
Flash things one at a time and give it a few hours to see if it'll still work. Full wipe, flash rom. See if it stops working. Then do the same with the kernel, then with each individual theme piece you flash. Something you're flashing is screwing with the USB part of the device. Once you flash something and the USB doesn't work, don't flash that anymore and let it's dev know so s/he can fix it.
The troubleshooting process is often a long and ridiculous, but figuring out the problem will feel so much better.
I plugged into a co-workers PC and the phone was recognized right away. This narrows it down to problem with my desktop PC. I am using a 4-port USB hub on my desk which has been working flawlessly with this phone and others. I did have my pc swapped out last week, so maybe the usb port is bad on the PC.
I changed usb ports that the hub was plugged into on the pc and low and behold, the phone is being recognized again! Now I just need to figure out what that weird error is when I wipe cache:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
It sounds like the 2 data connections on the port you were using must be shorted together, or at least not connecting. If it thinks it's connected to AC, as you mentioned earlier, it won't present the connection options. There are also some cables that are designed for charging only and have those pins shorted in the cable, but it sounds like you got it working on another computer with the same cable. That would lead me to suspect the port. Does anything else work when you plug it in that port?

After flashing fresh's new fresh toast kernel over fresh 0.5.3, my usb stopped working. The LED turns on when plugged in and it charges, I just can't mount SD, ADB doesn't detect it, etc. It's happened before and last time I followed http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243 that guide to fix it. I tried it this time a few times with no success. I even restored my nandroid from right after I rooted and following the guide still didn't work. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
that has happened to me when I was messing around with my rom and removed some things I shouldn't have. My resolution was wiping everything and flashing a new rom.
crazy and odd as it sounds, it happened to me and I was going crazy trying to figure it out. I gave up and the next day went to plug another phone into the same usb cable and the computer didn't recognize it either. I left the computer on all night so it hadn't been turned off since I had the problem on my evo.
Sure enough, I rebooted the computer, it recognized the evo and was able to mount the drive.
So, if you haven't tried, reboot your computer.
I'm currently on DK28 and anytime I plug my phone into my computer via USB cord it just shows that it's charging. This is an issue since I would like to switch to EB13 and I need to be able to use Odin for the EB13 modem. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers several times and not just on this computer, on two others that I have. I've also tried multiple usb cords and it's all the same thing. I've Googled the problem and everything I've tried has been useless to me, including the PDANet thing. So my question is is there any other way for me to be able to update to an EB13 rom without having to connect via USB? Or does anyone have any other ideas as to how I can fix this? I've been just using a microSD card adapter to put things on my SD for awhile now so that's never been a problem but I can't use Odin unless my computer recognizes my phone I guess.
HELP!!

Have you gone into settings, applications, development and unchecked USB Debugging?
I also have read numerous times where people have found the USB connector on the phone had something bent and was preventing a full good connection.
Good luck
You have got to be missing something drivers can be 32 or 64 bit make sure you have the right one for your computer. Is usb debugging checked in settings/app/development. Randy Shear has alot of step by step stuff for on youtube that might help
Yeah I have USB debugging checked and my computer is 64 bit which is also what my drivers are.
Turn off anti virus and dl driver again thats what I had to do. Reboot both devices also

Tried that too and apparently that wasn't the problem. :\
I read where one person who was having something like this was told to turn their computer off; plug in the phone to the usb and turn the computer on and it worked.
Maybe try that?
I've had this problem, got real annoying after a while. I ended up reinstalling the drivers and turning off usb debugging and it would go into mass storage. Re enabled and tried again, and it continues to work.
Thanks for trying to help guys but unfortunately neither of those things worked either.
I had this problem. I flashed a different ROM (try downloading a new ROM from the phone) then flash it after following the appropriate instructions.
The ROM I had that problem with was Nebula ROM, I fixed it by flashing Bonsai v2.0.
Well I have now tried that as well and even that didn't work. This is so ****ing annoying.

Try flashing another ROM instead of Bonsai. I hate that you're stuck, but I'd try a few more ROMs before giving it to a Sprint Store.
I had this problem as well and did everthing mentioned here as well to no avail.
Now here's what worked for me.
First, install drivers on another pc (ensure that you connect, wait for drivers to load, disconnect and reconnect your phone at least twice..sometimes a takes a couple of connects to install the drivers fully).
Next use odin to flash DK18 stock firmware. When you connect your phone..suddenly mass storage will be back again. You can then load whatever firmware you wish.
This has worked on my phone and a friend's with the same issue.
I had this happen to me on 2 different machines:
- First time: A restart fixed it
- Second time: My phone didn't like the usb ports on my work laptop's docking station. The cable would only work with the actual laptop's usb port.
So, I am currently using Virtuous Sense 2.0, runs like a charm bla bla, had Andromadous installed and went back to Virtuous Sense.
Now, my problemo is, I have no usb connection anymore. I plug in the cable and my phone will charge but there is no option to select disk drive or whatever anymore.
It's kinda frustrating, does anyone know how to fix this?
- I tried installing a clean Andromadous again, didn't work.
- I tried a factory reset, didn't work.
Oh my, how embarrassing.. It is my computer.
This thread can be closed.
For the sake of others maybe?
First, try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work, try going into ClockworkMod and mounting it from there. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.
Try different cable and different computer(maybe restart) and/or port
I also tried going into recovery, didn't work.
I plugged it into someone else's pc and it worked over there, put it back in my laptop, still nothing.
Went to device manager and checked for hardware changes and boom, there was the connection
Sent from my mind using some fictional futuristic communication device.
So my phone was mounting fine on my pc, and then all of a sudden it wasn't. My Nexus 7 still mounts properly and accepts developer commands, but the m8 won't (yes developer settings is on).
I tried wiping and flashing a rom clean and it still doesn't work, charges fine though. Any advice?

You might try a different cord.
Open Device Manager in Windows and then plug the phone in. Do you see it in the list with a little yellow triangle? Do you see Android USB Devices listed?
OP after literally messing with various driver files, 8 usb ports and 2 laptops, I dug out my old box of cables and found a taped up, on its last limb OEM HTC EVO 4g (not lte the original) cable. This thing has been through the ringer. But its exactly what It needed. I figured with the 3 cable I had already tried this wasn't the issue, but have you tried using an OEM cable? I guess that is all that works. Good Luck

Uninstall all HTC drivers and HTC Sync. Then connect the phone. DO NOT choose the option to automatically install any drivers.
Open Device Manager, find the phone. Select the option to manually pick the driver, and select the generic MTP device driver.
This is what worked for me, after countless attempts at re-installing various HTC drivers, different cables and ports, etc.
Bump. Still looking for answer to this. I have RUU'ed both to Sense and Google Phone editions and the problem still persists, the phone does not detect its connected to a computer and change to mtp accordingly. Only way I was able to get the RUU in there was through fastboot, which is again the only time I can access the phone through usb. Adb is no luck in either android or recovery.

Have you tried revoking the USB debugging authorization and then accepting the RSA fingerprint key again when connecting to PC?
Obviously it can't be an USB cable problem if you can connect to it in bootloader mode and use fastboot commands.
To clarify, the phone just charges when connected, it does not detect that it is connected to PC so debugging doesn't even trigger, neither does mtp. I don't even get the slow charging notification
Does it do the same when you plug it in and reboot the computer to "pick up" during boot up process? Or if you run a live CD? I never had an issue like that with my phone but I did have a similar problem with the USB external blu ray drive I bought some time ago. The pc just didn't detect it at all not on any of the ports until I rebooted my PC with the drive already plugged it and for some reason it picked it up. <Not a solution as I don't know what caused it to not be detected in the first place but still...
Not sure if it's an issue with the device(Phone for you, blu ray drive for me) or if it's a problem with the PC even though other things might still work for you as it definitely did for me(phone, headset, mouse, keyboard, usb extender + all the external hard-drives connected to it)...
Problem exists in all computers, Mac, pc, linux
Did you try what I suggest in Post #6 above?
This worked for me when I had the same issue. adb and fastboot would work, but it would not mount MTP.
And just in the last day or 2 I helped someone else with the same issue and fix.
The phone doesn't show up in device manager.
Have you modify the Kernel? (Applying some settings for example)
I browsed over the web for this issue and found some people with the same problems. They solved by removing the settings applied on the kernel or flashing a new one.
I've flashed various kernels and ruu, still same result
Still looking for help
So just as the title says, but here's a little back story (might help).
I'm trying to help out a friend with his Bell Mobility i747M. He wanted to try out Lollipop, so I looked into it and said I could do it. Last I even touched his phone was quite a while ago when he wanted me to flash CM11, back when KK was still pretty new. So it's been over a year. I flashed CWM back then, got the ROM installed, and everything has been good ever since. Fast forward to now, and he wants to try Lollipop. I figured the first thing I should do is update the bootloader/radio, which went perfectly fine (after some researching, I chose 4.3/MK5 for his i747M). I tested them by booting back to the ROM and checking About Phone - everything was good. So I booted back to the old version of CWM, and thought it would be a good idea to get a more modern recovery. CWM or TWRP didn't matter, just as long as it was more up to date (I thought it might help with Lollipop compatibility). So I decided on TWRP, and I got the latest version (2.8.4.0 as of now) and flashed it. Successfully flashed, then rebooted recovery. TWRP is there and working. Great. Next step... I had the Lollipop ROM and Gapps already downloaded and ready to go, so in TWRP, I proceeded to wipe everything (system, data, cache, internal sd).
Uh oh... Half way through wiping, the phone reboots itself! Now there's no ROM, so naturally it has nothing to boot to. Try going back to TWRP, and I see the splash screen again. OK, false alarm... Well, not really... Because now it just reboots itself after the splash screen, every time. Can't get into TWRP no matter what! I can access download mode, but Odin doesn't recognize the phone. Yes, I have the drivers. In fact, the device isn't detected by Windows at all.
So here we are. Download mode boots, but Odin doesn't work because there's no communication through USB at all. There's no ROM on the phone because it was wiped. And TWRP won't boot beyond the splash screen.... Now what?? I tried the 80MB MK5 debricking .img on a 64GB microSD. It does nothing - besides, USB isn't reading anyway, so it's not like I can proceed with Odin.
I'm at a stalemate here... Any suggestions?
My friend's gonna kill me if I killed his phone I'm pretty experienced with several devices, but not much with Samsung. I've never seen anything like this happen before...
When connecting to the computer, have you tried different USB 2.0 ports and USB cables? Have you tried different computers? Different operating systems?

Yeah, I figured that would be the case. Just about done downloading Ubuntu which I'll boot from USB. I'll post back with results once that's ready. I should have it booted within 10 minutes. Once I get there and verify the phone connects, what would be my next step? Should I try flashing stock 4.3 first?
I would confirm the bootloader that is on the phone before flashing anything from sammobile.com.
You may be able to use fastboot commands to get the information by typing fastboot getvar all.
OK, in Linux now. ADB/fastboot won't connect. Tried different USB ports and cables, ones that I know work. No luck...
The only thing I can boot to in the phone is Download mode, so that's where I'm trying from.
For the record, ADB picks up my Nexus 5, so I know it's all set up right.
I'm gonna retry the debrick img, using dd to write it this time.

I don't have Kies, but I'm doubting that would work anyway. There's absolutely no communication between the computer and phone. Nothing happens when I plug it in. No sound, no indication anything was even plugged in. Running lsusb in a terminal doesn't show the phone either.

Plugging into the wall makes the phone vibrate every couple of seconds, but nothing shows up on screen, and there's no indicator light.
The vibrations lead me to believe it's detecting something, but no indicator light worries me (unless that's just because there's no kernel)
The red light does come on if I plug it in without the battery.
Heimdall fails to detect the device as well (no surprise there)
If the phone was bricked, it would usually be recognized as a some sort of device under Windows' device manager which leads me to conclude that it is a USB port issue.

I agree that it is weird, because it's not coming up as a device at all, in either Windows or Linux, yet it does receive power.
I'm guessing here but it appears to me that the only left to try is a debrick image. Is it possible the battery is drained and needs to be charged?

The debrick image is what I've been trying. It's on a 64GB microSD. And I made a new one from Linux a few minutes ago (booted back to Windows now).
The battery was about 80% before all this started, and the phone powers on without being plugged in, so I doubt it's the battery.
Maybe you need a different SD card? Based on posts I have seen, it seems that certain brand/size combinations work while others don't.

I only have one card over 16gb...
Either way, I still have the USB problem. I'll need USB to flash with Odin. The debrick card only seems useful when Download mode isn't working, but that part works fine on the phone, even without the debrick card. My problem is with recovery. If I could run that from the SD, I think I would be fine - just flash a ROM. But I'm not finding anything for that (not surprised).
I thought it could potentially be a corrupt driver, so I tried using USBDeview to uninstall all disconnected devices. I tested it with a portable hard drive, which indeed had to reinstall after. So the program works as intended. However, the phone still isn't detected when I plug it in. No sound, no notification saying it's installing or install failed - absolutely nothing. Power goes to the phone through USB, with multiple cables and USB ports. Just no data connection.
I'm starting to think there's just nothing I can do...
The phone may need a USB port replacement. I know of no way to push recovery to the phone from as SD card without USB capabilities.
