Hey guys I'm trying to root my S3 via the tool kit in the developers section and I'm having a problem. My phone doesn't want to enter USB Debugging mode. I have it turned on in the settings but every time I connect it, it just connects as a media device any help would be appreciated thanks.

I had trouble with USB Debugging as well...I thought it would show in the notification bar but it does not give any indication that it is actually working.
Either way, it would not let me connect to ADB. First thing to try is make sure you have all the right drivers installed. If you're sure of that...you can slap yourself in the forehead like I did and try a different USB port and possibly cable...I had mine plugged into my USB 3.0 port and for some reason it did not like it...I changed USB ports and it worked like a charm.
Good luck.

Huhu,
i have issue with my usb connection.
If i connect it to the laptop it say Unknow Device (error code 43). Then it only charge.
I looking up the internet for 2 days now.
Someone said Unknow device is always a driver problem.
Found some driver called samsung/sgs2 driver. But that wasnt working.
Debugging modus also not help me.
Maybe someone have an other idea?
Try this
1. Turn off phone while still plugged in to your computer
2. Press Volume Button Up and then Power button to turn it on in bootloader/or recoverymode
3. You should hear a typical usb connecting sound. (if not you can unplug and plug the usb until you hear it)
4. Unplug it to hear the usb disconnecting sound.
4. Restart your phone and then allow it to turn on as usual, allow it to load everything before.. doing #5
5. Try plugging it in and test.
i tested it but not get a sound.
bootloader say waiting for usb ;/
Uninstall any previous drivers you installed and install these. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
They worked for me.
These are the drivers i already tried.
But they not work for me ;/
If you're laptop is Windows:
-install Samsung Kies....after that, plug your Glide, there should be a prompt "Installing device drivers" and/or "Searching Windows update..." Wait for that to be done and you should be able to connect.
Same thing with MAC,
I tried that befor but not work ;(
Does i have a chance to flash the phone without usb?
can i install CWM withouth odin?

I have the same situation with my glide. But the problem was miserable. Once i've changed USB cable, everything became OK for me (other phones work good with old cable).
Try this. Maybe it could help
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...

Have you enabled USB debugging in developer options? (to see developer options, click on "build" under settings several times until it appears.)

yes, tried that. tried different USB cables, installing/reinstalling usb drivers. I copy shows and things to my tablet to watch and It used to work, but it hasnt in some time and it kinda sucks having to power off tablet and pull sd card out to copy to it. Just getting frustrated with it. I even reset the device and updated it to android 5
Running through options, sounds like the computer. Can you hook up your phone?
Yea, phone shows up ok and just for the hell of it plugged tablet into laptop and it came up fine so i guess i have to figure out what is wrong with my desktop
I have had issues connecting the Note 4 to my PCs. I have tried multiple cables and computers. A usb error appears "Usb Device not recognized" "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and WIndows does not recognize it." All PC's are running windows 8. I have tried connecting it via fastboot to flash to stock as well as through ADB and I cannot get anything to read the device.
Are you using the oem cable? Sometimes cheap generic cables give errors. Enable usb debugging and see if that helps. Good luck.

Thanks but I've tried multiple. OEM and aftermakert cables. I found that when I put it in the charger it doesn't detect it as AC. I believe for some reason when the phone is connected to the PC it doesn't switch to MTP, which could cause the issue. I have wiped the phone, tried different roms, and installing plasma kernel. I am at my wits end. I have tried finding sprint's seceret number to dial, supposedly there's a menu to force MTP but I can't find it anywhere.
OK. So I couldn't connect via cable I tried flashing the stock image though mobile odin and now I lost recovery and the phone bootloops. Does anyone know a way to boot into recovery from the external SD card?
I would just flash the OF5 tar and start from scratch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...om-sm-n910p-stock-of5-odin-flashable-t3158114
Sounds like it's your computer.
Edit: Any other phone's Samsung or not able to connect? Does your phone charge with any or all of your cables? Hopefully the stock cable.
You need to go to Device Manager and Uninstall/reinstall the drivers pertaining to USB
Uninstall the samsung drivers
After that, unplug your powercord from the laptop
connect the phone to your usb port first and then replug your powercord and turn on your laptop
let the usb and samsung drivers reinstall(auto or manual)(if it detects it normally))

I wish I could, the issue is that since I get this USB error, I can't get ODIN to detect my phone.

I was able to get my Note 3 to connect with no problem, I was even able to get ODIN to detect it in Fastboot. I have one more cable I am going to try tonight, I have my girlfriend bringing it with her. I may have switched an S4 cable with the Note 4 cable. I hope this is the case.

I was using my desktop, and I tried this on my laptop. Didn't work. Thanks though! I am wondering if this possibly could be a Windows 8.1 issue...
Anyways, 5.50 to anyone who gets this working.
I accidentally switched cables with my son's s4 and nothing would work. Figured it out and then I could connect to my computer. Could be the same thing lol.

I wish that was the case. I am wondering if it's a windows 8 issue now.
I'm on 8.1 pro, and my devices detects fine under cm12.1.
Have you tried going into Settings > Storage. select the 3 dot menu on the top right and force MTP or PTP detection while device is connected to PC / Laptop?
Hey guys, after my phone's last software update I have sort of a problem. I can't connect it to my computer. When I plug it in the computer it says USB device not recognized and I've tried on more than one pc and the results are similar. I tried installing new drivers and LG pc suite (which work but with the wireless connection). And my G Pad 8.3 works like a charm so the problem must be in my phone. The software version which i received is v20u.
Oh and I tried factory reset and again it didn't work. I hope you can help with this bizarre problem.
Try switching in the USB connection option to ptp....

I saw that before i wrote the thread but I can't seem to find " ACER Composite ADB Interface" in my device manager neither when my phone is connected nor when it's not. I think it might be something with the latest software cause before that I never had a problem connecting it to the pc.
PS: i even tried connecting the phone to my TV to see if it'll find it like a flashdrive and againt it started charging and nothing else
