i tried both and same result
When you say you tried several usb's, do you mean several usb ports on the pc or several usb cords? Try both. The stock usb cable is garbage. I have 2 epics in my household and both stock usb cords stopped working properly fairly quickly.

And just a queston about the usb cords.
Do they stop working completely or does ur phone still charge when its plugged in? Cuz m phone still charges just dosnt connect the sd card to the computer
They stopped hooking to the pc first, and eventually stopped charging as well.

I just tried the same usb on a different model phone and it connected normally. I'm not sure what the problem is now.
and just tp make sure my prioblem wasnt from the usb cord i just bought a new one and still its not working.
Make sure your not using a launcher that will hide notification bar, I just made a tip thread in general for this problem, which may or may not help you
Now it will work ever now and again ( 1out of 10 times maybe), but if you use TW launcher it will work every single time. I'm looking into why hiding the noty bar borks USB/sdcard mounting.
I had a similiar problem where it would not connect with usb debugging on. I had to go into control panel and device manager, find the connection with USB debugging on, and then hit update driver from Windows Update. Took about 30 minutes but all worked fine after that.

It may be "Other" or Samsung Android. Does your computer make the connect sound? There should be something in the USBs if it does.

Make sure to use the same port you installed the drivers on. There also may be dirt in your usb on your phone.

I've had this happen as well.
Enable usb debugging, then it'll work. idk why it has to be fine like that though.

Didn't work, and it got rid of mtp mode but nothing happens when I plug usb in now (besides charge)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
you have to go to
settings/wireless and network/usb utilities/connect storage to pc
It will ask you to connect cable, then you can choose usb mass storage.
Just flashed new rom cause nothing worked thanx for the input thou.

Is the computer recognizing the.phone? Once USB debugging is checked you should be able to pull down the notification bar and make your selection.

Help with not connecting as media device! SGS3

Hi today my phone, and when I plug it into the computer nothing pops up and so it seems as if it doesn't recognize it? It still charges. my device usually says 'connected as media device' in the notifications but now doesn't work. The only change I did was maybe I dropped it? It was like a 3 ft fall on hard carpet I also got a new hyperion battery for it. I would very much like to transfer files and stuff. oh yeah and my sd card might be full if that relates to it.
Thanks!!

just in case this comes in handy for you. I plugged in my phone with usb debugging checked and it wouldn't recognize it as a media device, unchecked, replugged and there it was. Hope that helps

[Q] Please help!!!

Everytime i try to copy anything over to my phone from my laptop i get an odd message saying "the device has either stopped responding or has been unplugged." Ive tried restarting my comp, restarting my phone, i switched USB cords, i switched the USB outlet i was plugged into, i tried unchecking and rechecking USB debugging, reinstalling the LG drivers. i tried everything. Please someone help...

The message your getting has me baffled, but usually it's the cord. It still could, be even though you tried a different one. Another option might be to try different lg drivers.

I used 3 different cords. Amd i swapped out the drivers too. I dunno what to do. I'm so pissed.

There's 3 different version drivers here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35520144. Maybe you've tried them all I don't know. If you have adb installed... does it recognize your phone?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yup, recognizes my phone fine. I was able to root and unlock just fine. And i can copy from phone to comp but not comp to phone... so weird.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Very weird. When you plug in the USB cord, have you tried both media and camera options? In that dropdown menu...I can't remember what they're called.
I just remembered, I did have a similar issue, but I was running Linux.

You say adb works just use adb push. It would be adb push (file on your computer) /sdcard (note: do not use parenthesis when running the command)
P.S if it says sdcard is a directory use /sdcard/download.

this is plaguing me as well. tried several different cords/drivers - I just got this phone and have not been able to mount it.. its a replacement phone. It does not mount in recovery, either (it hangs on 'updating partition details') and it fails when I try to Partition it

Rooting without USB

I recently got a used T-Mobile S 2 and just tried to root it. The computer will not see the phone when I hook it up to the USB. I've tried the Odin method and it won't even register it's plugged in. I've installed and reinstalled kies 3 times and I've even tried just installing the drivers by themselves. Is there a way to root the phone without having to use the USB? I'm guessing the USB connector on the phone is bad even though it's charges just fine.

If it charges ur fine, is the device in DL mode? What is the procedure u are using, with this phone the only way to root it is Odin, or maybe adb but I'm not sure, and if u have kies installed on ur pc Odin won't see the phone I repeat remove kies, once ur rooted u will never use it again anyway kies interferes with Odin, make sure u have the OEM USB cord too...

I'm using the volume up+down with the power button to access the download screen with Odin and it never reads that the phone is plugged in. I've uninstalled Kies and still doesn't work. Now I've noticed that I can only go into the e3 recovery mode.

So the phone accesses doenlode mode? Try holding just the vol+vol- buttons and plugging it in to the USB while connected to PC, that should put u in DL mode, if not it might be ur port, have u tried all other ports and different usb wires? Sorry if my questions are trivial but I need all the info if I'm going to help

Yeah I've tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers. I'm leaning towards the USB Jack. I took the phone apart and found corrosion on the board towards the bottom so it looks like the phone has some water damage.

Thats most likely ur culprit then, it may be just corroded enough to not hit the right pins to push data through odin, u could try to replace the USB com, u can get one for around 30bucks online and its an easy fix if u have a lil knowledge, the bad news is without it rooting is next to impossible ...

I mean if u don't want to try the fix u could try rooting it through wireless adb but that's a long shot at best, just started using wireless adb an not even sure if its possible to root it like that but u could look into it...
