All of a sudden phone will not connect to pc.

Alright I am running cm9 and have been for weeks with no issues. I got the new galaxy s3 and installed the drivers on my pc to root it and all that. I want to change roms on my E4GT though so I go to plug it in and it charges but will not connect so I figured I had to reinstall the usb drivers for my e4gt so I did and still nothing. I am in no way a newb i have flashed tons of roms and I know I did not do anything wrong. I believe I am just missing a driver. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have the latest version of kies installed and the drivers straight from samsungs website.

Made a little progress but not much. I realized I didnt have usb debugging enabled so I enabled that but now when I plug it in it just says usb debugging enabled instead of asking if I want to mount as storage device I have tried rebooting phone and pc several times. I am running out of ideas.

Did you get the drivers by installing Samsung Kies?
I ran into a similar issue once. I removed all Samsung software with all devices disconnected, did a reboot, re-installed a new copy of Kies, and when I plugged in the device, I opened the notification and told it to skip searching Windows Update.
Also, make sure you are plugging it into a powered USB port, so one on the back of your computer. Sometimes laptops don;t provide enough power either. My girlfriend's OG Epic refused to flash on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on a desktop.
Latest version of Samsung Kies: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110512115717796/Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1.exe

Thank you very much i will give it a try and report back.

Actually no i did not get the drivers by installing kies because I already had it i got the sprint sph d710 usb drivers. Should I uninstall those and just install kies?

Well this is a rediculus problem that I am having now.. I cant install kies because it is saying I am not connected to the internet and I clearly am as I am posting this on the same pc that I am trying to install on.. I have tried rebooting the pc that does nothing.

Alright I got kies to install but still the same thing when I plug the phone in it says usb debugging enabled i really have no idea what is going on.

have you tried different ports on your computer, also have you maybe tried a different computer. If not it could be phone issue I fried my usb board on mine. best bet to try that is to flash another rom if possible and see if it you can connect to computer

I have tried different ports but not a different comp. Ya I am gonna flash a new rom and see if that helps. How could I have fried the usb board though? I havent touched the phone in days since I got the gs3.

Yup Just flashed the new Super Nova rom and now everything is working again, thank you very much for all the help and if anyone hasnt checked out that rom yet they need to its awesome!

[Q] USB connectivity issue. Work around to flash to stock for RMA?

I am currently running the latest version of LiquidSmooth on top of CWM, when the problem first started I was running a recent CM10 nightly. The phone doesn't want to connect over USB. More specifically I get the "One of the USB devices connected to this computer has malfunctioned..." message. My wife's stock T-mobile GS3 can connect over the same USB cable and port.
I was able to get the phone to connect for a little bit and it used to connect just fine on this system. The last time I got it to work, it stopped working in the middle of a file transfer and hasn't worked sense then.
I tried cleaning the port of my phone without any improvement. This was just cleaning little bits of lint out with a needle. I also tried several different USB cables as well as connecting to my laptop instead of my desktop. I tried with and without USB debug and in both MTP and the camera mode. I tried installing Samsung's USB drivers and I tried uninstalling them. I also tried installing Kies which did not recognize the phone. All of this was tried with frequent reboots.
I think it is time to try and RMA the phone but I am not sure how I can put it back to stock if the USB isn't working.
Anyone have any ideas on what to try next. I am very much at a loss for what to do.
Edit: Would Mobile Odin let me do this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691659

I think you should be able to use that to get it back to stock.

Try Flashing the ROOT66 rom, you can then test if the USB works, don't forget to wipe the casch and Dalvic when you flash...
let us know if the rom flash restores the USB connectivity, if you do it.
Good Luck & Aloha!

[Q] USB device not recognized, half rooted, no custom recovery--Totally messed up!

Here is my problem where I can't get my Sprint S3 connected to PC, I am half rooted, and have no custom recovery, I can't flash anything on my phone except OTAs, please help, any help is much much appreciated.
Background :
I had this phone working completely fine, I bought aftermarket USB cable and attached it to the PC, everything went smooth it got connected fine in MTP mode, on second day when I tried to connect it, it gave me error that USB Device Not Recognized.
Problem :
The phone is not getting connected to PC in any way, whether it is MTP, DM+Modem, PTP, ADB, etc... not even in download mode to flash it via Odin. No matter on which mode I am it always give me error that USB Device Not Recognized.
It sense when I change modes while it is connected to PC, like when I am on MTP and I click DM+Modem or I click USB Debugging, it displays that USB Device Not Recognized message again, so I it is sensing mode changes.
What I did so far :
Changed cable and used brand new Samsung Original cable, changed USB ports, changed 4-5 computers, installed and re-installed drivers numerous times, my friend who does the phone repairs changed Micro USB Slot on the phone 4 times with Original ones, he even took one from working phone and put in on this phone, no luck so far.
My inputs :
I've searched really a lot about this problem, but didn't find any single solution.
Some guys on forums reported that they solved problem by flashing a stock or custom rom as there might be a problem with Kernel.
I can't flash anything on my device since I am on stock recovery and half rooted, I had LJ7 rooted stock on my device, and I took MD4 OTA, now, my phone is half rooted, when I install any application which requires root, I get message that 'Superuser permission denied'.
I can't even uninstall Superuser, because it is system app, I tried to re-root phone via Motochopper method but it doesn't work.
I flashed this phone to different carrier, so, I am afraid I will loose my flash if I take latest 4.3 OTA.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WANT MY PHONE TO GET CONNECTED TO PC ANYHOW.
I AM READY TO DO ANYTHING YOU SUGGEST TO RECOVER MY PHONE.

Did you uninstall drivers from Windows device manager before reinstalling drivers? I found that this sometimes helps.

[Q] N900T Semi-brick help!!!

Hi, Need pointing into right direction. I use my note in the uk and tried flashing different roms, modems etc to get LTE to work. It stopped connecting to my laptop at some point but I continued to flash cutom roms using recovery. I then tried the Odin app (by Chainfire) to flash stock Tmo F1 rom. I had been on NE6 prior to me trying custom roms.
Problem is that the flash failed (when rebooting itself) and is now in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery either. Download mode comes up but it does not connect to the Laptop. I have tried Odin, Kies, reinstalled drivers but no luck. If I connect directly to the laptop the phone does not come up but if I go through a USB hub it recognises something been plugged in but fails to install driver.
Now i know i've messed up but was hoping if there is anyway I could use the sdcard to help boot the phone maybe into recovery or somehow get laptop to recognise the phone???
Any help would be appreciated as I did enjoy the phone and have spent not days but weeks on this problem and the Mrs aint to happy either...thx...

Your current problem is drivers. Get that fixed, I can't help much as I don't run Windows often. Perhaps a boot disc with Linux/Heimdall might help... Lose Kies, it can't help you right now and it might have messed up your drivers, uninstall it and reboot. You need Odin. And not the app, the real one on a PC.
If you have an N900T, the Tmobile NF1 is the one you want. Try the Effortless guide in the general forum for detailed directions and good files to work from. If you can boot to download mode but Odin can't see it, the drivers are messed up on your computer. It's not the phone that has an issue. Try a different computer if you can. The Samsung drivers can be a bit picky. You might need to go to Device Manager and uninstall the drivers while the phone is connected, disconnect and reboot, then try to install the proper ones again.
And if you're in an LTE area, you should connect without any changes. Trying to force it is a bad idea as you probably don't have a network to connect to.

Thanks. Did cross my mind about the driver issue but my S3 connects to the laptop fine. Or do you suggest I give the Linux a try?
Also would the lte bands works here in the uk considering it been a us tmobile?
Tried linux/heimdall but still doesn't connect to my laptop. Don't know what it could be. Any ideas please guys.
UPDATE.....resolved by replacing USB charge port as a pin was damaged/broken.

go into developer mode and change how the phone interacts when you connect a USB cable between it and a computer. Im betting its set to "charge only". Could the the stock setting on the ROM youre using
edit: i re-read your post and im curious if the phone even boots.
