My AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III suddenly no longer works with usb. It can charge with the connection, but it does not show up as any kind of device. No MTP, no PTP, no usb debugging, no anything!
I tried:
- Factory resetting
- Plugging it into a different computer
- Switching to a different ROM
- I even tried to restore to stock firmware, but Odin couldn't see it.
No computer can notice my phone. It doesn't even notify me that it is unrecognized. The usb on my phone is locked out from any connection other than charging.
I use the phone for Android development and I use Eclipse ADT to compile my apps.
Is there any other solution I haven't tried?

Try a different cable, preferably an OEM one. Use a USB slot on the back.

Used the cable that came with my phone on different USB ports. Didn't work.

Already had the drivers installed. Reinstalled, rebooted, still doesn't work.
Here are a couple of other things to check. This menu can be achieved by using dialer code *#7284# on a Tw based rom.

Then choose Qualcomm usb settings to check this

This was Windows 8 and solved by:
Uninstalling the Samsung Drivers
Running CCleaner
Rebooting
Hooking up the phone in each connection type: D/L Mode, MTP, and Debugging
Windows Update loaded the drivers properly

Don't forget pulling out the battery from my phone and going into download mode without the battery. Thanks a lot for your help!
The true fix for this annoying issue is to reboot the phone into download mode. Then hold the power and home buttons down for a few seconds to force a power down. When the phone is off, power it back on like normal, and you can then connect to usb again. This is a pain but it works EVERYTIME, guaranteed.

ON my win7 32bit I didn't install any drivers to get access as MTP/PTP. I get the above by default. However installing Kies allowed me to transfer my SMS/Contacts/Pics from itunes
Honestly, I haven't tested it without having a driver installed
doesnt the GS3 show photos on sdcard as thumbnails when connected to pc ? they only show properly when using kies
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe version 1.5.5.0
http://www.mediafire.com/?7zdblmy1o390eot
Drivers updated to v1.5.5.0.
No matter what drivers I try or what PC I use the S3 fails to be recognised properly.
Installs except for the MTP drivers and has 'error 10'...does seem odd.
Even tried a Linus based system and it did even react to the phone being connected.
LoL

No disrespect towards the developer but if it was not developed by him then should it not go to the General section?

Yesterday at work while my phone is charging it just suddenly went to google screen and i waited for about 5-10 mins and still there, i thought its a minor problem...take out the battery and still stuck up, i went to recovery and accident wipe everything. My main problem is i have a Samsung Laptop and it wont recognize my phone, ( it will recognize for a second when i turn on my phone going to google logo and it will say device is malfunction etc etc. it will also recognize for a second going to recovery mode when pass the google logo and again it will say malfuction ) I tried ADB, but wont recognize my device because of the computer? I tried ODIN but still my device wont recognize by my computer. I tried Gnex tool kit, Rootkit and heres my device manager looks like
I hope someone can help me.
That looks like a problem with the drivers you have installed on your computer. It should show up under Android Phone and then have Android ADB Interface (or Samsung Android ADB Interface). Try installing the drivers from here.

Samsung kies on a Galaxy Nexus ??? Put the phone in adb mode and manually install the ADB interface drivers from the google SDK. You will need to uninstall and erase all previous drivers from the device manager and then install the .inf from the sdk

After googling and searching finally I found the culprit, I don't need to upgrade my OS, just upgrade Windows Media Player into version 11. And work like a charm >__< I rarely using WMP so I don't need to upgrade it.

If you have fast charge enabled in KTweaker you have to turn it off to connect to PC.

The cable may be damaged, have you tried a different one? Different port on the PC? Rebooting both devices?
I have tried two other cords and multiple reboots. Even tried another vista desktop.

Ya... but my original rom got erased so I downloaded a rooted stock rom nd8. I could not find stock oh1 rom. It still did not connect
usb. Would the boot version make any difference?
That would mean the USB connection is fried. No, that wouldn't make a difference.

Unfortunately not without replacing the port. Sometimes if you jiggle the cord you can get it to connect.... My S2 I have to prop something under the cord to get it to charge and connect via USB. Sometimes the port is just loose.
Any way to disable Samsung's 'cable detection' feature? USB tethering doesn't work because device doesn't recognize cable. I'm using original one and tried new and older cables also. I've had similar problems with another Samsung devices before and it's pretty annoying. WIFI is too slow and bluetooth even slower compared to USB so I don't like using them. Device just keeps telling use original cable and starts charging slowly.
Also the usb c port is cleaned, tried restarting device several times, tried all usb ports of my pc. I'm using Windows 10 pro. All drivers are updated and I have newest Samsung drivers.
Turn on Developer options and try setting it up there. No blocked or disabled Samsung system apps, right?

Tried that but it doesn't work. Also Windows is saying it can't recognize usb-device. I have disabled YouTube only because I use another app for that.

Hit take no action in the Windows connect popup*. Then go to Disk Management and punch scan for new devices. Access the drive in that window and do the transfers there. Command line can also be used to access Disk Management etc.
Try rolling back or updating the driver. Installing the latest version of SmartSwitch on Windows should load the correct driver.
*you must authorize the connection first on the Android via a popup window that should appear after being connected.
Not working. Reinstalled all usb drivers including Samsung ones. Smartswitch is not working because Windows can't recognize this device at all. Maybe I just reinstall Windows some day and try if it works then. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome.
Try another port and cable.
Reboot, always reboot Windows.
Check Event Viewer for error messages.
For Windows to recognize the device you sometimes need to use the scan for new devices command in Disk Management. The solution is likely simple and right in front of you.
Play with it... fun times.
