Phone not recognized via USB - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Having problems with SIM not being read on 4.2.2 CM rom (I bought the phone with said ROM installed). Decided to try to dowgrade to 4.1.1 official Stock rom. Problem is my phone will not be recognized with any USB cables. I have tried 3 cables and will try more (though I know these cables work fine) and will try a different PC tomorrow,.. but this PC is not the problem, I can tell you that.
I have tried installing the drivers provided in the toolkit and the phone is still not recognized. Have also tried installing Kies, and device is still not recognized. Have tried rebooting phone and PC and still not recoginizing. ADB in developer options is enabled.
When I say not recognized, I don't mean that Windows is popping up saying "device not recognized" - my PC is not even finding the device. There is nothing in Devices and Printers, nothing in Device Manager, nothing in My Computer... I also tried doing factory reset / cache wipe / dalvik cache wipe. Still nothing. Is there any way to flash back to stock rom using CWM restore menu via a ZIP? I can drop the file on a microSD card and restore it from there, but I don't know if there is any way to do that from CWM.

[Q] Cannot initiate USB data connection on GS3 (rooted, CM10; Win 7)

A few weeks after rooting and installing CM10 on my GS3, it stopped recognizing any form of USB data connection. It still charges from both computer and wall adapter, but I cannot initiate a data transfer or recognize my device using ADB.
I have tried:
three different OEM Samsung cables (from SG3/SG4 phones)
all the ports on two different Win 7 laptops
all the ports on an Ubuntu desktop
enabling or disabling USB debugging
with different combinations each time. No "USB connection" dialog has shown up on the phone, and no "new device" dialog has shown up on any of the computers. I know that I can get ADB working with a different Android phone (HTC Inspire 4G) so I know that my main laptop has USB ports that work and the cables I've tried work as well, so I'm left to assume that the issue is with the GS3. External visual inspection does not suggest the USB port on the phone is damaged, and the phone is only a year old, so I don't believe that is the cause.
Is there a system setting that I may have modified on the GS3 that would disable all forms of USB communication?
(The end goal is to get at least ADB working so I can try and recover some deleted files from the internal memory; I haven't found a reliable method that does not require ADB so I'm trying to get that to work. I know that transferring files on or off can be accomplished with the external SD card or over Wifi but that is not what I'm looking for)
Any suggestions from anyone?
I am not sure. Could be a software issue. I would try backing up your current cm ROM and try installing a fresh touchwiz ROM to see of that works, to rule out software issues. This could also be a android 4.3 issue. Could try stickmount or a similar otg app from the market.

I don't think any OTG app like stickmount will help; I'm not trying to connect devices to my phone. I'm trying to get my computer to recognize my phone (and vice versa) in order to get ADB working.
If I can avoid flashing a RAM I'd like to, because I'm still interested in recovering those deleted files. If that is the only thing that would help, though, then I'll do it. Any other suggestions?
Install Kies and that should get the drivers for the pc in place. Odin should recognize the device when it is in the download mode. If that works, then the pc to phone connection is OK and I'd look to software instead of hardware.
Or, if you boot into your custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP, you should be able to get ADB to recognize the device and issue commands including pulling the files on Internal storage. TWRP also has a file browser built in that might be useful.
I have tried uninstalling any Samsung drivers then using the SGS3 toolkit to install the official drivers, but that didn't change anything on the PC end.
Additionally, I tried finding my device while it was in recovery using ADB and there was no connection indication either.
I currently have CWM installed, but I didn't see a mounting option like I've seen for TWRP. Can I flash TWRP without a computer?
Or try this out: Download mode>Connect via USB>Let Windows download and update all drivers until the notification in the bottom right says it's ready to use>Unplug>Battery Pull>Boot normally>connect again. Voila! It works every time when it's being wonky and its a simple way that doesn't require a bunch of downloads!
installing insecure adb might help
Rebooting into download mode does nothing.
I believe rooting and installing CM10 means I already have insecure adb?
thanks
thanks
what next?

[Q] Device not recognised by pc.

My HTC one x running cyanogen mod kitkat 4.4
whenever i connect my phone my computer is unable to recognise the device
I've tried everything uninstalled the drivers but nothing works
the device is not recognised in fastboot mode also.
pls help me resolve this issue.
try using a different usb cable. reinstall drivers, a genuine htc usb cable should work. try this as well (worked for me): http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
also in your device manager, check if there is "android phone" with yellow triangle. right click it and update driver manually
If reinstalling drivers fails, and you need to get to stuff stored on it, you could try and mount the storage in your recovery (CWM or TWRP) and get stuff off.

[Q] Copy files from PC while in recovery mode?

Hey there,
I just wanted to update to another ROM and put the .zip file on my device and then rebooted to recovery and wiped my cache etc.
Somehow the .zip file is missing as well now though, I'm not sure why but it seems to have been deleted when I cleared the cache, etc.
Now I'm left without a .zip file to flash and a totally wiped system without a ROM :/
Is there a way to copy data from PC to the Nexus 7 device while in recovery mode? I tried connecting it via USB but it doesn't show up...
edit: Well after a lot of reading it looks like fastboot is the only option for me. Google USB drivers don't seem to be compatible with Windows 8.1 64bit and therefore I cant get my device to show up in "adb devices". Luckily "fastboot devices" works and I guess I'll just try flashing the stock recovery image now.
That's why I have bought an OTG cable (B letter inscribed on the cable, the others I've tried (4 models) without that B, didn't work with my flo, dunno why) and I have an USB strick to get files like zips from my PC. Or get a stick with both micro USB and USB connections.

[Q] Bricked Gio - No Boot, No Recovery, Only Download Mode, Odin Doesn't Detect

Hey there guys!
Recently I wanted to get some custom ROM on my brother's Gio. It had stock Samsung software on it, did a factory wipe in recovery, worked perfectly, then I installed CWM in the orignal recovery from the SD card - didn't root before. Since then I can't boot into Recovery, however Android booted up. I tried to use some apps in software to get rid of this problem, but ROM Manager said the device is not supported, then I tried another one called Rashr, which had a question relating to recovery I guess instantly on the app's startup, I hit "Reboot" since then the phone is bricked. If I turn it on with just the power button, it shows the Samsung logo, stuck in a bootloop. I can't access recovery, only dumpram, and Download Modes. I tried fixing this with reinstalling the stock stuff through Odin, but the software doesn't detect the phone. Tried installing Kies, standalone USB drivers, multiple Odin versions, different cables, ports, different computer, nothing worked. When I connect the phone to my PC it plays the "device connected sound" but I got a message, that it's an unidentified device. Went into Device manager, where it recognizes it as a Samsung USB device, with the yellow triangle. Tried updating the driver manually from the manufacturer's list, uninstalling then reinstalling the drivers with no luck. Also I tried cleaning the USB port of the phone, still nothing.
The computers I've tried are running Windows 8.1.
Please help me, I think I've tried everything still the device is bricked.
I have same problem.
did you fix it ?
weLL ,sad to say it but ,its neither worth the effort,time or my typing these letters up here to remind you ,that it's neither the end of days or expensive to buy something this side of the stone aGe ! have fun but not with that one ;(

Laptop won't recognize note 4 after cm13 install

So i've successfully performed the retail to developer miracle on my note 4 and installed twrp and cm13. But now when I plug my note 4 to my computer it doesn't recognize the phone, no folder pops open, adb doesnt work, odin doesnt read the phone, no message on the phone for debug or anything. when i look at device manager , theres 2 usb host controllers with errors (code 43), uninstalling them/updating/rebooting all do nothing, each time the phone is plugged in the drivers fail. Everything had worked fine during the exploit process, adb, odin, copying files onto the phones sd card. I've since tried to reinstall the samsung drivers, restore the pc to an ealier restore point, tried different ports and cables all to no avail. Im going to flash a TW rom to see if that has anything to do with it. I'll have to load it onto my sd card. My concern is when I'll need odin again. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if anyone can shed some light.
Pull down from top, tap the charging option to choose more options, select the middle option to allow file transfer to computer
I'm having the same problem, the notification to switch to MTP doesn't show up in the notification bar. I've tried reinstalling, using three different computers, using KIES and uninstalling it, nothing. ODIN doesn't work, neither does sideload through TWRP. I've tried different cables and ports, to no avail. It's infuriating.
I'm having the same problem, did anyone find a solution?
