Ok so I am trying to plug my phone into pc using usb cable so i can use odin. But my computer doesn't recognize my device. I've tried everything from uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them restarted pc and phone. nothing works i did get it to read one time and was able to access my sd storage and then i tried to go into download mode and i plugged in usb cable and it didn't recognize so i got out of download mode and it didn't recognize the phone again. Then i plugged in my girls evo and it reads the phone all the time. Is there something wrong with my epic then? how can i fix that problem. seriously getting frustrated!!
Try not to double post. We will get to your issue eventually. Refer to the other case, as it has potential solutions available for your issue.
(I've dealt with this as well.)

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

UN checked?? if it is checked, you can't use mass storage

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.
Let me start by saying I have read dozens of threads on connection issues from the original galaxy to the s2 and none of them have worked. Here is my problem. When I plug in my phone I get a MTP connected dialogue box but kies will not recognize my phone and odin won't recognize my phone in download mode. My computer's device manager doesn't even show drivers installed or any yellow triangles at all. As a matter of a fact, my computer does NOTHING when I plug in my phone. No installing drivers dialogue box or anything. I have tried manually mounting usb storage mode to no avail. I can not transfer files, root my phone or do anything. I'm running stock EK02. Also, with usb debugging box checked my phone just charges with no pc connection at all. with usb debugging unchecked it will show the mtp connected but my computer doesn't show anything
Here is what I've tried:
Installing and reinstalling kies about a dozen times.
uninstalling and reinstalling samsund drivers
rebooting my phone
tried different computers
I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER (brand new nothing installed)
Then I bought a new usb cord
restarted my computer several times
checked then unchecked usb debugging just in case
Please Help, I'm completely stumped......
I can get on multiple chats for anyone interested (gtalk, facebook, irc, whatever) or take responses here. thank you in advance.
--------------------------
UPDATE: so it was the USB cord the while time. Apparently you should really only use the USB cord that came with the phone, which I lost and had to borrow from someone else.
Installed the tmobile samsung galaxy SII USB drivers , I am using windows vista and it does not recognize the phone. I tried another vista computer it still can not recognize it. I tried an XP computer, it still can not recognize the phone.
How do I fix this?
Tried using the USB utilities under settings --> wireless and network
Still no luck
any suggestions will be appreciated

since you install the drivers into multiple computers and tested them all... it might be your phone.
First can you give more detail on what happens when you plug your phone in? Does your computer make any sounds or searches anything?
ALSO Try installing kies.
if that doesn't work either... looks like you need a warranty exchange
Try using an oem Samsung usb to micro usb cable. I had this problem with my Samsung Galaxy Epic a while back. Everytime I used a generic cable lying around my computer would not recognize my phone. When I used a Samsung cable it worked. Your computer should automatically identify your phone using the right cable. If not re-install them and don't forget to restart your computer before attempting to connect to your computer again. Good luck.
I've had this problem too.
Initially I had kies installed and had to launch the program to access the two 'mounted' removable drives.
I assume the drives mount, but you can't access the drives?
If that's the case, look on the phone and pull down the status bar and check to see if it sees the USB connection. Select that, and allow it to connect as USB storage.
thanks guys for all the quick response.
The problem seem to fix itself. After removing and attaching the USB cable a number of times, the PC suddenly recognized the phone.
I don't know what fixed it.
Now, I can proceed to root my phone!

you probably didn't give it enough time for the pc to actually install the needed components.. it takes a good 5-10 mins for everything to finish installing
I'm faced with the same problem. Only different is, as soon as it shows connect to usb from the notification bar if goes away. I tried the usb tool in wireless but still wont work. I tried the samsung cable as well
know it sounds dumb, but have you rebooted lately? mine wouldnt recognize the sd card when plugged into comp....rebooted....all is well
So I can't get my s3 to connect to a computer. I have tried three different computers, two windows and one mac.I have also tried three different usb cords including the one that came with the phone and a brand new one I bought just to see if it was the cord. Have done a factory reset and tried everything with usb debugging on and off. My phone will charge but the computer doesn't recognize it. I have reinstalled the drivers twice on both windows computers and tried the Kies troubleshooting. I have also put it into download mode and Odin doesn't recognize it. When I plug it into the computer nothing happens, no sounds or messages saying something was plugged in. The phone does not have the option in the notification menu for usb debugging. I can use AirDroid to put just about anything I want to on my phone over wifi so I am not too upset about it not connecting but I would really like to put CM10 on it so I kind of need it to connect. I am using the stock AT&T rom. I rooted the phone awhile ago but then wanted to update so I went back to the stock rom and then updated. It would still connect to the computer after this update. Unfortunately I did not reset the flash counter so I doubt AT&T will do anything about it when it shows I have messed with it. I kind of think it is a hardware issue on the phone after doing all of this. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I could try?
Hello all!
First: I promise I searched the forums and google as hard as I could!
I'm running AOKP JB with CWM, although the problem was present on stock ICS from T-Mobile.
Symptoms: Computer and phone will refuse to acknowledge any connection (nothing shows up in Device Manager), except the phone will still charge. If I do the "remove the battery with USB plugged in" trick, the first time I do it, it will recognize an unknown device, but kies and adb won't recognize it. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it'll go back to not acknowledging any connection.
I previously programmed it (when I was still running stock ROM) via ADB via WiFi, but I need to be able to use ADB via USB. Besides, I can't seem to get ADB over WiFi anymore.
When I plug it into a different computer (Win7), it will, however, recognize my phone.
Earlier this year, before I ever tried programming via WiFi, it connected to my Win8 machine with no problem. I don't think it's a problem with the wifi setup though because the ROM was reinstalled and of course I've restarted ADB in USB mode in the months since...
What I've tried:
Reinstalling Kies
Reinstalling Samsung USB drivers
[^]Restarting the ADB server
Updating ADB
Trying different USB cables
Trying different USB ports
Toggling USB debugging
Toggling MTP mode
The UART thing from the dialer
Restarting the phone and the computer (of course)
Checking to see if my computer's USB drivers need to be updated
The android terminal command "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb"
Pulling and replacing the battery while connected via USB
Crying in a corner
If anyone can help me, it'd be greatly appreciated! I'm all out of ideas and Google is no longer helpful =/
try to uninstall the drivers that are present anything samsung related to your drivers ... then connect the phone and let the process do its thing if you have the samsung drivers saved on your PC and the drivers still aint working update the drivers and then manually click where the drivers are to install them and hopefully it will work and when you tried MTP is it the only option it gives you no storage or anything ??... and is usb debugging on when you are trying all this ??

I tried on my work computer that didn't have any samsung drivers and when the "unknown device" dialog popped up it didn't do anything or install anything, nor did it show up in Device Manager. Unplugging and replugging it back in did not reproduce the dialog box. Togged USB Debugging and still no dialog box saying it recognized it.
The thing with the samsung drivers is that they're self installing so even if it popped up in Device Manager, I wouldn't be able to manually update the drivers =/
I tried MTP both with and without USB Debugging, although it also gives the option for PTP.
At this point do you think I should unroot and go back to stock? It's not been recognized on three computers now! =[
Are you using the stock cable? My computer wouldn't recognize mine without it.

Both the stock cable and a generic cable.
Similar problem
Similar problem as the OP. And hi guys, it's nice to be on these forums.
My device, when I plug it in using the stock cable, doesn't even charge. It doesn't show up in device manager, nor does it give me a notification, or say it's unsupported and bear that yellow icon. I have tried using different USB ports, I have tried the toggling USB debugging, I have tried restarting phone, computer, and taking out battery. I have tried that PDA/MODEM dialer trick. I am using 4.1.2 Jellybean, not rooted. (that WAS my goal,, until I hit this roadblock) I have not connected it to the computer in the past, it's relatively new. I'm thinking the cable is bust.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It charges fine through a wall outlet plug, be it generic or stock.
so guys ive come to a conclusion i think its something in the samsung usb cables try getting yourself a blackberry usb cable , TRUST ME !!! ever since i got my phoness etc... tablet and yadi yadi samsung usb cables have always seemed to give me problems i think its because they are multi data/charging cables and when using the blackberry usb cable i have never ever once encountered a problem with any of my phones sd/storage problems do yourself a favor and pick up one of those cables and you will be golden !! if not then i guess im the only lucky one :LOL here you go http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Travel-Adapter-Micro-Cable/dp/B004VMVSYK/ref=pd_sim_cps_2 5 bucks!
Edit also one more test boot into recovery and click in the advanced menu and see if mount usb works for you in recovery mode ??
FIX (try using a generic cable)
I actually solved it on my own! After borrowing a generic cable from a friend it booted up! The Samsung cable was just not doing its thing.
yeah im telling you those cables they provide are JUNK!!! i only use my samsung to charge because they do that well but data they are str8 CRAP!! glad you got it up and going
OP
Hope OP will have the same luck as me...pray to the Android gods...
