I recently got a 32GB Sprint G-Nex, and I want to transfer my files to my phone, but I´ve tried connecting it to the PC and nothing happens, my phone only charges. I tried installing the drivers from Sammy site, restarting the PC and it didn't work.
I also tried MTP & PTP usb mode and same results. Last, I tried checking USB debugging on/off, nothing happens either!
EDIT: Tried different USB cable, that made it work, thanks!

...you need adbd running on the host first..
install android-sdk.

Hello, have you à custom rom ? If yes, you have to disable fast charge !
And for temporary solution you can use Airdroid, an excellent app for pass through the wifi and a simple Internet browser to tranfert everything, realy easy and useful

I've recently run into a problem with my phone being recognized by my computer... basically it just doesn't work anymore. This happened after upgrading from Midnight ROM 5.3 to ACS Frozen 1.2. At this point, when I plug my phone into the computer, it only charges and does not enter into usb connected mode. On the computer I get a pop-up message saying that the USB Device is not recognized. After searching through these forums and others, I have tried uninstalling / reinstalling drivers, installing PDANet, switching USB ports, and Switching USB cables... All multiple times. The best I've gotten out of the process is immediately after certain tries, I am able to get the usb mode activated, but only once. When I try to boot the phone into download mode because I'm trying to upgrade to EF02, it is no longer recognized, and then when I do a regular boot, it is still no longer recognized.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
I've also toggled USB debugging multiple times...
Which OS is your PC running?

Try downloading the android sdk and updating all its files and repo's? I had to do that for my w7 x64 pc to see my epic
Posted by some phone named the Epic.
Your drivers crapped out or your cable is flaky. Try a different cable. Also turn on USB debugging and go into Device Manager in system in control panel. Go to the unknown USB device (may say Samsung Android) and hit update driver and let it search Windows update for drivers, will take a long time for all the drivers. Then reboot and should work.
Are you using the cable that came with your phone? Mine stopped working and I had to buy a new cord off amazon.

Win 7 x64 is the OS...
I've found a temporary workaround by pulling the battery, plugging the device into the usb, starting it into download mode, and then replacing the battery, but thats not really practical for storage purposes, only for the one time install of EF02. I have used 4 different cables and reinstalled the drivers multiple times. I am going to try reinstalling the sdk and see if that helps, as well as searching drivers using Win 7 Device Manager.

make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer and then try going into the settings and in the top section that is wireless and networks press more, then USB utilities, and press connect storage to PC and then plug your phone into the computer. had about the same problem and came across that.
You can also try going into your device settings on your pc (samsung/modem) and resetting the driver it seems to get "stuck" sometimes.

+1 to this... its the new way to connect
I put this on my sd card (by taking the card out of the phone) and putting it in a card reader. I flashed the file from the stock recovery and this gave me custom recovery. Then I restored my previous backup. I was having the same issue and FB21 has too many bugs. I went back to gingerbread but kept fb21 modem.
You can actually get MTP working quite simply...

To use USB MTP you have to unmount SD Card first then plug in.

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...

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 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'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?
The issue is a bit weird, it's not about drivers, the device doesn't even recognize that it's connected to a PC, tried different cables, turned on USB debugging, different OS's too (Windows and Linux), and the problem isn't with the PC. I clean everything in recovery and it didnt connect PC when using recovery too. :crying::crying::crying:

And this one is even more weirder!
Sometimes the laptop recognizes the device, and the other times, that is mostly, it doesn't.
I'm using whyred (Note 5 Pro), with Pixel experience plus.
I tried changing the USB cable 4 times;
Tried restarting the device;
Tried Restarting the PC;
Tried Installing google drivers; BTW laptop does recognized my Samsung Galaxy J7 prime;
Thanks in advance
