i have a windows 8 and my PC cannot detect my phone at all. when i connect my usb cable to my PC it charges it but nothing else. ive tried both the htc and samsung usb cable. the phone detects fine on my older PC. i'm not really sure on what im supposed to do now.
Try installing the Windows 7 drivers from here http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
I know you‘re on Windows 8 but I think the drivers should work fine

Hey folks,
been searching and searching without any luck so far, trying to find a solution to my phone not being reconzied if i put it in recovery (volD+boot, back+power), windows sees it fine if i open the phone normally and connect it to the pc.. and i can use the ADB shell to detect it
# ../../..: adb devices
but no adb connection if the phone is in volD+power or back+Power.
sometimes Windows detects the Android 1.0 in Device manager but i wont find the drivers no matter what kind/version i fetch off the interwebz and no matter where i put it. i worked once and now the connection is just broken...
i have gotten sick and tired of the fact that i cannot get paid APPS and that the phone is filled after like 10 APP installs so i decided to root specially cause there now was a fix for the brick ...
but it seems like im pretty stuck .. neither of the 2 Rooting methods work cause of the lacking connection.... barghh...
I hope my english is not to horrible for you to read...
Kind Regards
Vicster
HELP
Hi!!! i have this problem!!! Help we please!!!
I want use usb connection for tether, but driver not found or error connection.
Also got this issue, one week that I'm trying EVERYTHING
The device is well recognized by windows but the adb can't find it (it says no device found)...
Thanks a lot for the help!
Noob question. .. did u installed htc sync? It contain USB driver 4 Windows. ..
Yeah. I have installed HTC sync and the drivers, and i have downloaded the exctracted drivers and tried to point android 1. 0 to Them, but all w7 does is tell me that it did not find any drivers for the device.
Install the leatest HTC Sync....
Boot the Phone normally and activate USB-Debugging.
Wait for Windows this installed the driver....
boot your phone into recovery and now you have driver...
Worked for me
Windos 7 Ultimate x64
Do not plug your phone on any kinds of USB HUBS, USB Extender cabels, Front PC USB ports, or any kind of strange PC cards with USB ports.
Also use only original HTC cabel which you got with your phone.
Plug your phone in first USB port on the motherboard closes to the mouse and keyboard.
My phone wasnt recognized by ADB while it was conected to front USB ports, but other things where working fine (Sd card browsing and copying)
Try and report back if it helps.
I plugged it with the OEM HTC cable, also installed the latest HTC Sync, with both latest HTC and Android SDK x64 drivers, it just doesn't work..
On win 7 64 too.
Motherboard asus p5k,my device is working only with the rear usb port.
Must be a question of usb amperage...
Works fine for me, W7 x64 Ultimate, but I only use Windows to get into recovery - linux to root the phone initially
I've searched google/xda and no one seems to address this very clearly.
I was having problems connecting my SGSIII via USB to my computer(s). Yes, I was using the cable that came with the phone. When trying to simply transfer files via USB (MTP or PTP) windows would not recognize the phone and a message saying "usb device has malfunctioned" popped up from the notification area of the taskbar. I had all of the drivers installed. I tried connecting the phone to my laptop (thinkpad) and desktop (homebuilt) computers, which were both win7 64bit. I tried every single USB port of each computer. Sometimes the device would show up in my computer, but I couldn't access any of the files. I was able to get odin to recognize my phone, however, and (foolishly) tried to flash a rom to my phone. Odin would fail every time at a different point in the process. I was stuck with a phone that would not bootup.
Then, I tried a computer (old dell, win XP) at work. I tried to flash the rom with Odin again. On the third attempt it worked! (after changing to a back (instead of the front) USB port) It was a big relief that I didn't brick my phone. Also, with this computer I could connect to my phone via MTP or PTP. I thought, therefore, that the problem was win7. So, I went back, installed win XP on my computer at home. This computer would still not play nice with the phone. (USB device malfunctioned error appeared again.) So, if you're having problems try a different computer. I had to try 3 before I found one that worked.
TL;DR: Try a different computer and different USB ports on that computer before you give up on connecting your phone to a computer via USB.
Finally, I NEVER had these problems with my HTC Hero, or HTC Evo. The phone would connect to ANY computer or ANY USB port. This was true for transferring files and for ADB also. With my S3 I'm transferring files by removing the SD card and connecting that to my computer. Kind of a pain in the ass. Thanks samsung.
Hey guys i recently got a new pc with windows 8.1 and it doesnt recognize my gnex. whenever i connect it (i tried various combinations of mtp,ptp and usb debugging on and off) it says usb device has malfunctioned. same thing happens in bootloader mode. if i go to device manager i cannot see it under either portable devices or adb interface (the option is not present) i just see a yellow exclamation mark under "usb controllers> unknown usb device(port reset failed)". I have also tried all usb ports both usb 2.0 and 3.0.
anyone have the same problem? the phone works perfectly with the same cable in my other laptop with win7
I solved the issue. It seems that my USB cable was the problem. I changed it and it installed fine. I didn't think of it at first as the same cable works perfectly fine with win 7.

I always have the problem that I can connect to my phone, but sometimes when I try to open a folder, it keeps loading and won't open the folder. Don't think that's an USB problem too, but I'll try...
Prior to my SIII having charging/syncing problems it would connect to my Windows 8.1 PC without issue. When I started having charging/syncing problems I had the USB charging port replaced by a local store. Since then it won't connect to the PC for me to transfer files to the S|D card or the phone itself, phoned the store where I had it done and was told it should be the same driver. I connected my girlfriends S3 to my PC went into device manager and uninstalled the drivers for the phone and then disconnected hers re-installed the drivers still won't connect (but hers will without issue and it same make model phone only difference is the cell provider) did a windows update and it installed some Samsung drivers, but still won't connect to PC. I should mention it won't connect to PC but it will charge the phone. I tried shutting phone down pulling battery and waiting a few minutes replacing battery and powering on phone also rebooted the PC and still the same issue it won't connect to PC. All I get is USB device not recognized error. Would just having my old USB charging port changed and a new one soldered on change which drivers are used to connect it to the PC? Is there anything else I could try that would let me connect and transfer files to the SD card or the phone?
I assume you tried different cables and a Win7 machine?

Different cables yes (including stock cable for a SIII mini which was bought for girlfriends daughter about 2 weeks ago and that had same issues). Only tried the windows 8 laptop for thats was where i did all my charging syncing before and it had no issues until the usb port became damaged and then replaced by the store here.

I don't have a Win7 system to try it with but tried with an XP system and it also won't sync but will charge no error message but the device doesn't show up like the other SIII's in the house do
Based on what you have tried so far, I would conclule that the port was not properly installed.

Will take it back see if they can get it working or at least show me the drivers it is using at the store.
I would second that, if all of the sync points aren't properly soldered then it could charge but won't sync

What is needed to connect the Tab Pro 12.2 to Windows 7 via USB? When I attempt to connect Windows doesn't recognize that a device is plugged in at all. I can't find a setting anywhere on the tablet to enable USB connection.
Things to know:
I've installed Kies 3 on the computer but it doesn't recognize the tablet being plugged in either.
I've installed the Samsung USB driver.
I've successfully connected the Tab Pro when in download mode since I was able to root it.
USB debugging is turned on (also tried it with debugging turned off).
Android 4.4.2, build number KOT49H.T900UEUAND4 (rooted)
What am I missing?
Unplug the tablet from your pc. In Kies 3, under Tools, reinstall usb drivers. Reboot pc. Connect the tablet to usb. See if that gets it working.

Thanks for the suggestion. Still no joy. It's like there's no MTP driver or something. When I plug it in to the USB port the tablet recognizes it as it "dings" and tries to charge (it can't because the USB port doesn't supply enough current). However, the pc never makes a sound and doesn't recognize any thing's been plugged in.
Is there some setting I'm missing on the tablet?

I doubt it's the tablet. Probably a driver issue with windows. Try a different cable (usb 2.0 or 3.0) and usb port on the pc

I have had this issue with my Galaxy TabPro 8.4 (similar device). Why don't you try reinstalling the software and drivers on your computer. Also, have you tried a different USB port? These simple techniques have solved the problem. Seems like a problem with your drivers.
Restart your device as well. A simple restart can clear issues.
im having the exact same issues, reinstalled windows, now i cant get my tab to connect ... tried different ports I finally got it to show up as an MTP device but computer doesnt like that one bit.
worked for me (Samsung tab pro)
had the same problem, all i did was shut down my tablet and start it back up (not restart option but actually shut down one) then it popped back up on my laptop as connected.
i think it has to do with the batt. not being able to charge on the laptop and it just over looks it........braking it down Barney style .
