ATT Galaxy S3
SGH-i747m
4.0.4
kyanROM 1.3
I am currently unable to connect my phone to a PC or MAC using the usb cable. I have tried just about everything I can think of with no luck.
what I have tried so far is:
restarting my computer and phone
different computers mac and pc.
different usb cable
uninstalling and reinstalling samsung drivers from PC
tried switching from mtp, to ptp, to adb, using phoneutility (*#7284#)
pulled battery
wiped cache partition
fixed permissions
I even booted the phone into download mode and connected to odin.
I see nothing.
any ideas? I am at a loss. I cant find any info or similar case.
edit: i also tried downloading kies and using the connection troubleshooting utility.. no luck
usb debugging is on but tried with it off as well.
I've been having the same issue on my Win7 home premium.
The phone is charging but can't see folders.
It works on OSX as a Camera though.Click on "Connected as a media device" from the pulldown menu and select "Camera", youll also need a program on OSX. Go to

Part of the problem is I am never getting the "connected as media device" message.
the phone only charges when connected to a computer...mac or pc
Try using a different usb cable. Something pretty short. I've had many a cables stop working. Also try a different USB port on the computer.

I have tried about 4 different usb cables on 3 different computers.
2 pc one mac
some of these cables I know for a fact were working at one point.
I am thinking it is my phones hardware at this point.

did this problem started since you flashed Kyan rom 1.3 cause I had the same problem a few weeks ago and I recently flashed the latest CM10 rom and everything works fine now. Does your phone charge when you plug it?.
My phone charges when I plug it in.
I can't be sure if this only happend after I flashed kyanROM 1.3.
That is definitely something I did since the last time it was pluged into a computer.
Maybe ill just flash cm10.

it looks like a driver issue to me! do you Have the snapdragon toolkit install on your computer? If not you can find it ther: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
try the first step uninstall your driver and then install them using the toolkit
If you are using your front usb port try switching to your back usb port sometimes devices don't like the front usb port

Sounds like it may indeed be a problem with the phone's hardware. You might want to try taking it into the store to see if they can reproduce.
i re-flashed my phone using an old backup from when i knew usb connectivity was working,
still not working.
Brought the phone to an ATT device support center while on stock rooted rom.
They didn't realize the phone was rooted and they couldn't re-flash my phone without usb connectivity so I got it replace.
I am going to run stock rom for a bit... maybe until the official jelly bean release.
then maybe ill go back to Kyanrom or cm10... any suggestions?
Ilso I am not sure what created my usb issue.
I think it was my regular use of an old iPad power brick.
I am going to only use the stock charger from now on and hope that problem doesn't come back.

Had the same problem, but my work machine has never once gave me a problem, the one at home does this exact same thing, it maybe a phone hardware problem if you see it doing it on another machine, but I dunno, only reason I haven't fixed the home issue is, I do NOT want to re-install win7, my linux box see's it perfect every time also. I read somewhere in a forum, that it is a samung/microsoft driver bug. It is stored in the registry somewhere, what I saw was I had it working perfectly, then I plugged in my MyTouch to push a stock rom onto it, and then the next time I went to plug in the SG3 the problem started. Windows acts real stupid when you continuously keep plugging in different devices all the time. But then again, you said you tried it on a mac. Humm! Again, this is my opinion only.
same problem i have with no solution need help also please
same problem i have without any solution i need help please
Had the same problem, but with a brand new SGS3 with the stock ROM and cable. Plugged in my Nexus 7 cable instead and that works for some reason. Will bother best buy about it I guess.
got the same issue. tried to sync some files over from the gs3 to my laptop and it only charges the phone, does not recognize it . tried several cables and tried on my desktop, nothing. now im in search cuz this kinda sucks. i flashed CM10 ROM2 and it stopped working for me after that, tried restoring back to rooted stock TW but nothing still. still looking for a fix.
One thing I noticed is that all the computers where I'm having issues are running win7. One win7 home premium and the other win7 pro.
In the office I have XP pro and it recognizes the phone with no problems.
I was flashing several different ROMs last week so I could try them out first hand. I settled on Universe ROM. Now my phone is not detected at all, by any computer, whether in Android Or Odin mode makes no difference. I flashed back to Calkulin's E4GT2 ROM, which was already on my SD card, still no worky. Please help?!?!?!?!

Uninstall and reinstall drivers... Also try another usb cable (This has happened to me as well, did these steps and she worked!) I am on windows 7 about half the time (Ubuntu 12.10 the rest of the time) so i'm always able to get into it some how.
Tried that already

Yeah, I've tried those steps before, again and again, on different PCs with different cables, using a nice high quality one now, still no dice. even when i go turn on USB Storage in settings i still get no detection by any computer. My phone only charges so i cant wipe my phone or anything because Odin never sees it.
Same here

I have a similar issue. This happened just after I rooted my phone. No USB connetion.....more or less. I'm now running Windows 8 and when I installed the drivers and connected my phone Windows starts the installation and it detects the SAMSUNG USB Composite Device and the SAMSUMG Mobile Modem but I can't access the SD card or internal memory. I changed the cable and reinstalled the drivers. I even installed Kies and it says that my device is not supported....any more ideas?
have you checked to see if you are in the "AP" mode when you dial ##8778#, you need to have a stock dialer for the codes to work on some custom roms the dialer codes will not work.
Default is set to"AP"
"AP" <----....xfer files
"CP" is used when programing to other carriers..etc...via CDMA Workshop.......
"ALL" <-----some people like to use this setting
didn't work

Yes. This problem persists not just on my PC (all ports) but laptop (same) as well as work PCs and my friends'. My phone will now only charge. No computer "sees" it. Even in Odin Mode, Odin won't pick it up.

I had this problem before with my Windows 7 computer.. I had to wipe the drivers from the computer.. Reinstall them again.. Changed cables and suddenly worked. (I think i did a restore back a few days to when it did work as well.) TBH i don't have many other ideas.

I had the problem when I was running the ParanoidAndroid ROM, I couldnt tell you how many times I odin'd EL26 and clean flashed. My usb worked fine after flash until I installed my apps using TB. So I went app for app, installed an app, plugged into my laptop. For me it was the simi clock widget whenever I installed that it would no longer link up to computer. I uninstalled it and am now back to normal.
Same here with Jedi Jelly 4 |4.1.2||Flashbar|| 1|17
Please help.
Samsung phone are REALLY picky about what cables you use. Some cables will only charge the device when you plug into USB, others will allow you to interface with a PC. The stock cable that came with your E4GT is the best to use, also the HTC smartphone microUSB cables work too. Hit and miss with LG and Motorola cables.
Do you have extweaks on that rom? If so you can force it to hook up thru the usb settings section.
When I originally rooted the same thing happened. It was almost like it had no setting to hook up to a PC. Only fix I found was driver sweeping the pc, reinstall the drivers, and switching roms untill one hooked up again. Repeat the driver sweep for each rom. It was a hassle but it worked. Landed on the blu kuban.
E4GT on Blu Kuban FI27, running XDA app.

really? because I've been having the same issue and I haven't done any mods or anything with my phone yet...pretty stock. But I took it to a boost near me and the clerk plugged it at it got detected in no time.
I plugged other devices into the same USB_port with the same cable and the port and cable seem to be fine in my computer and no go, got the latest driver still nothing, and at some point I tryed to older drivers and still nothing.
I guess i'll have to try another uUSB cable. I only have one laying around
am running Vista x64, the pc at the store was running 7 x64 btw, not sure if that makes any difference

I've had same issue with Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9506). After a week of trying all available custom and official rom's I've followed pariah1570 advice to uninstall some apps and it worked! Great thanks. I don't know yet which app caused this problem, but I'm installing it one by one and checking.
Please help me, my IMEI is at zero. I think the cause of this is that I flashed CM10, but i noticed that when my deviced booted up I was not connected to my network, so i found a stock rom for t999v galaxy s3 and flashed it. Even after flashing the stock rom i still am not connected to my network. Another problem i am having is that samsung kies cannot recognize my device.

Ive tried most of the things in that thread but i can't seem to get them to work without my device drivers working.
Try different USB port, different cable, different computer, uninstall and re-install drivers, et cetera. You need to make it work or you are out of luck.

I've done these things, but for some reason when i put my phone into diag mode my computer doesn't recognize it.
So I have the Tmobile variant of the S3 and I have tried everything and spent countless hours trying to fix my problem. My phone will not connect to my computer after I tried with different cables and going through the phone utilities. I also did what other forums said and I had no luck. The binary count is at 10 because I tried to root this phone long time ago and I was unsuccessful. The device is not rooted because I checked if I had root access. The phone will only charge when I connect it to the computer and I need it to update to the stock 4.3 from Tmobile using odin. Any help??

Are you using cables bought with chargers? Or are you using quality "Data Cables"? Also, try different USB ports on the computer. Uninstall and reinstall drivers from Device Manager. If it will charge, but not transfer data, it sounds to me that its either a cable issue, or a driver issue. (Could be a bad port on the phone as well, but this is less likely)

Yeah I tried all of that and I still had no luck
If you are stock, unrooted, can't you just use the software update in settings > about device?
When connected to the computer, what does it say in device manager?
Can you try on a different computer? If it also does not work on another computer, it may be more likely that there is a problem with the port on your phone.

I would try downloading the drivers from the Samsung website. It doesn't really sound like it would be a problem with the phone. Also try switching between MTP and PTP and waiting a couple of minutes in between to see if the computer installs the phone correctly.
You can get drivers from my Sig if you want to try several different versions. Just make sure you uninstall through device manager.
Hi
I recommend you try re installing your cell phones drivers on your computer or flashing your ROM correctly. Try updating the device manually.

I tried to do all that with the drivers but the phone will not connect regardless.
Sounds like its either cables or usb ports then. See if you cant get a hold of an actual data cable, preferably a samsung replacement. Then try that on every usb port on the computer.
And for the drivers, are you uninstalling them through device manager before trying a different version? In my driver repo at least try the oldest and the 2nd and 3rd from the newest if you haven't already.
If none of the above works you may need to consider either reformatting and reinstalling Windows, or try to do this on a friend ir family members computer.
Hi all,
I had a problem with my mi6... My dougther was cycling, and drop my phone. Something happened then, and the phone wasn't charging any more with cables... works only in one stand...
So, I've bought a new board, in aliexpress (https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/Carr...110.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3da2b90awX1ker), installed, and the charging is ok.
But now, I can't connect any more... I believe I have to reinstall all the system, but without a cable is too dificult to do all the backups...
Any tips?
Hi,
I've had the same issue as you, and have yet to find a solution. Check out this thread I made with everything I attempted to do to fix this problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-6/help/phone-charges-connected-to-pc-t3884228
I also thought that changing the connection port would solve the issue but it didn't. Although I bought a cheap non-oem version. Maybe this has something to do with it ?
If you have linux, you can look into KDE connect to transfer files from your phone to your PC. That's what i've resorted in doing. It's not an ideal solution (can't update my rom) but it's better than nothing. I think you can make KDE connect run on windows PCs as well.
Best of luck !

I'm still trying to fix it. My problem is the computer is looping as soon as I connect the cable on the USB. Seems to me some driver problem.
I need to connect, but also need to be able to connect on TWRP. I also tought tha could be a driver issue, and guess that if I update the ROM, it could be fixed.
am I wrong?
