Just yesterday my computer stopped recognizing my phone. As this tends to be a big problem for me as I transfer a lot of files to and from my phone and computer a lot. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I've tried rolling back to the pre-updated driver that originally came with the phone. That didn't work. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work either. I am running windows 7 home on this computer. Does anybody have any ideas?

I have been having the same problem with mine, I am going to keep trying different solutions, but I think it may be a phone problem since I can not get it recognized under mac or linux either.

So im trying to connect my dash so i can install windows 6.1 kavana, currently running the rose 6.5rom i believe. So when i go to hook it up to my pc nothing comes up its as if the phone was not connected at all, now i was thinking should i hard reset and then try to install, or what can i do?
ok did the hard reset that didnt do much but reset it, anyway i can get it so it shows up on my pc as connected so then i can re-flash?
Have you gone into the USB settings and unchecked the "Advanced Functionality" setting? After you've done that, you should be able to form a relationship between your pc and Windows Mobile Device Center or Activesync depending on what Windows OS you're using.
yea i did that still doesnt connect comes up as generic device asks for a driver and since i dont have one it says device not installed correctly, also noticed i couldnt sent mms messages.
nvm got it working with a little bit of searching

What was your solution? Thanks.
You probably had to disable the sdcard, if you have one I assume.
It was dumb but i had to install active sync since i forgot to install that after the format of my pc and for the MMS i had to go into the connectivity menu and set it up for tmobile, all working perfect now..only if i could get better signal though, anyway of just installing an update for the radio?

Not really. Don't know where you live but signal is 90% of the times dependent from your carrier. Unless you have a RAZR, than its your phone not picking up much.
when i try to connect my phone to my pc it doesnt do anything, everything else works but my phone, my other friend who has the same phone as mines works well and sync, im using the final release of 6.1 from kavana.
so is there anyway i can try to reinstall windows mobile on it without a pc?
its been restarting and rebooting it self a lot.
thanks.

Try to look through this thread.

Seems to be some things in there that might help answer most if not all of your questions.
Try to uninstall activesync and reinstall on your computer, its usually solves any problems I have with it.
(Sorry if this is a duplicate of some other post, but since the forum search tool seems to have vanished, I don't feel too horrible...)
Last month, I used QPST to install a different PRL. I h ad to download KIES and everything, and it all worked swimmingly. Between then and now, I did an update PRL to see if it would help with a certain problem, so now I am of course on 60683.
I wanted to reload 01115 to see if I could actually get 3G roaming in Milwaukee, but suddenly my phone is no longer recognized by Kies or QSTP. I tried reinstalling the drivers, but it did no good.
I can still access the PHONE and Extenal_SD partitions as drives, I just can't do anything diagnostically.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dalmus
Okay, I got it working.
Kies still won't see my phone, but having Kies reinstall the drivers actually got Windows to load the drivers, and I watched what Port the phone was sitting on.
So even though I kept seeing "uknown usb device" in QPST, I selected the proper port anyway, and everything worked.
Got a GS3 a little over a month ago in exchange for an Evo LTE that was having serious text message issues. As soon as I got it, I was experiencing absolutely horrible battery life, so I immediately rooted and installed Blazer rom on stock kernel. I did this through Odin, so I had to plug my phone into the computer, which recognized it as a USB storage device so I could access files and whatnot.
Fast forward to now and I"m still having seriously battery life concerns. Today, I ran the one-click unroot/return to 100% stock zip from this link. I tried to plug my phone into my pc to load the file, but though it will charge, the PC won't recognize the phone. I ended up downloading the file to the phone and resetting to stock (thinking I was taking it to Sprint tonight). I made sure the most up-to-date Samsung drivers were installed. I updated my chipset drivers. My USB 3.0 drivers. I even updated the BIOS. Tried three different USB cords and all 14 USB ports (2.0 and 3.0). No luck. Windows keeps saying "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunction and WIndows does not recognize it." I have XP, 7, and 8 all installed on this box and none would properly recognize my phone.
My question is whether this is a computer problem or a phone problem. Given my semi-advanced knowledge of computer hardware, I'm inclined to believe this is actually a problem with the phone, but don't want to go waste an hour or two at Sprint trying to get it fixed. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Picture of actual error included.
Wish I could help. I had a few issues connecting my S3 to my work computer, but downloading the Samsung drivers for the Sprint Galaxy S3 L710 from the Samsung web-site solved that problem. I'm using XP at work. On my home computer and my laptop, which are both using Windows 7 Ultimate, I haven't had an issue though.
Maybe try using the driver from the Samsung web-site or trying to install Samsung Kies and then connecting your phone.

I tried Kies. I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the drivers twice, with a restart inbetween each step to be safe. No luck.
Stopped by the Sprint store today. They couldn't get it to work either so as it turns out it was actually the USB port on the phone.
So last I synced my phone was about a month ago so I went to sync it again yesterday to get all my new music and an error popped up saying "USB Device not recognized" So I went to another computer same thing. One is running win8 the other win7. I uninstalled Kies and all driver and reinstalled them on both computers same thing USB error. I tried my girlfriends S3 today and it connected no problem. So I know its a problem with my phone and not my computers. I have tried clearing the cache rebooting in safe mode and download mode, pulling out the battery and sim and pretty much everything else with no fix. What else am I missing here or what should I try?
