I've had this happen as well.
Enable usb debugging, then it'll work. idk why it has to be fine like that though.

you have to go to
settings/wireless and network/usb utilities/connect storage to pc
It will ask you to connect cable, then you can choose usb mass storage.

Just flashed new rom cause nothing worked thanx for the input thou.

Is the computer recognizing the.phone? Once USB debugging is checked you should be able to pull down the notification bar and make your selection.

[Q] Samsung GS3 I747 isn't recognized by PC via USB

I'm on windows 7, 32bit, installed AT&T Samsung drivers.. Tried multiple USB cables that recognize my other devices.. But I can't for the life of me get this I747 to register as a portable device. Please help! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Edit: device is stock and unrooted..

Do you have the original USB cables?

Did you try installing the drivers with this toolkit?

Still no dice. I followed the toolkit to the T, reinstalled the drivers a couple of times too for good measure, and my phone still never registered. This is driving me nuts! My friends phone is popping right up when she connects to the PC but not mine.

Try the assistance chat on Samsung site since you are stock they can help you better with that. It is starting to look like a hardware issue.

Try this. (use the usb cable that came with S3)
Worked for me on my Win7 32bit.
Had similar issues on XP. Different fix for XP.

same issue, although my phone connects to 32-bit version of win 7 at work and not at home 64 bit win 7.... just charges the phone, prompt NEVER comes up

I never get mine to show up on the first try. I usually have to plug it out and back in a few times for it to work. But when i got it working, it only works on the same usb port.
Another thing i did at first to get it to recognize the phone was to use the desk to app.

I kept toying around with this problem. My laptop has winxp. It would beep when I put the cable in, but I was always disappointed by no connection. Then my phone would tell me to try and download Kies. Did not want to do that. But I did. Connection could still not be made.
I stumbled onto a fix. Dunno if it will work for anyone else. I was juggling about 2 dozen things at the time and might have missed a critical step.
I plugged in a USB OTG cable with an 8gb flash drive. The phone recognized it! Even displayed a cute little message in the status bar that USB was connected (instead of MTP). This all lasted a whole 2.7 seconds after hours of searching for solutions.
I tried connecting it to my computer for another try, and I am proud to report that is is working flawlessly for now!!

I have had the same issue off and on. Found somewhere this past week a suggestion to pull the battery in order to cause a hard reboot. It worked. Plan on trying it whenever it happens again.

Rooting without USB

I recently got a used T-Mobile S 2 and just tried to root it. The computer will not see the phone when I hook it up to the USB. I've tried the Odin method and it won't even register it's plugged in. I've installed and reinstalled kies 3 times and I've even tried just installing the drivers by themselves. Is there a way to root the phone without having to use the USB? I'm guessing the USB connector on the phone is bad even though it's charges just fine.

If it charges ur fine, is the device in DL mode? What is the procedure u are using, with this phone the only way to root it is Odin, or maybe adb but I'm not sure, and if u have kies installed on ur pc Odin won't see the phone I repeat remove kies, once ur rooted u will never use it again anyway kies interferes with Odin, make sure u have the OEM USB cord too...

I'm using the volume up+down with the power button to access the download screen with Odin and it never reads that the phone is plugged in. I've uninstalled Kies and still doesn't work. Now I've noticed that I can only go into the e3 recovery mode.

So the phone accesses doenlode mode? Try holding just the vol+vol- buttons and plugging it in to the USB while connected to PC, that should put u in DL mode, if not it might be ur port, have u tried all other ports and different usb wires? Sorry if my questions are trivial but I need all the info if I'm going to help

Yeah I've tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers. I'm leaning towards the USB Jack. I took the phone apart and found corrosion on the board towards the bottom so it looks like the phone has some water damage.

Thats most likely ur culprit then, it may be just corroded enough to not hit the right pins to push data through odin, u could try to replace the USB com, u can get one for around 30bucks online and its an easy fix if u have a lil knowledge, the bad news is without it rooting is next to impossible ...

I mean if u don't want to try the fix u could try rooting it through wireless adb but that's a long shot at best, just started using wireless adb an not even sure if its possible to root it like that but u could look into it...

Just follow the few steps:
1. Download & install (or reinstall) the latest LG Mobile Driver.
1.1 Your phone must not be plug in to your computer while installing driver.
2. Reboot your computer once it's done.
3. Make sure your device is not in USB Debugging mode. (Setting---Developper Option)
4. Choose MTP from PC connection type...
5. Plug your phone to your computer and let it load the driver.
Enjoy. :good:

Didn't work . Even took apart phone to examine usb port . Seems fine to me.
However Neither pc will connect to this or my Lg nexus 4.

Same here..
I'm in the same boat as you, even followed you're route of progressive troubleshooting all the way taking out the usb circuit board and looking for damage. I'm at a loss

Do you try port usb 2.0?

Try all the different usb ports.
Had the same problem when I would flash the KDZ file

[Q] Note 2 4.3 help

I recently updated my Note 2 SPH-L900 to Android 4.3. At first everything went well until when I went to root it it seems though my phone recognizes its been plugged in as a media device to my computer it says that there is no program that can access its files. I've activated USB debugging as well as put it to MTP+ADB under the Qualcomm USB settings and then selected to use MTP. Did I click a wrong setting? My phone will charge when plugged in to my computer. Odin also does not recognize my phone. Any help to fix this problem is greatly appreciated.

USB debugging is MTP+ADB. When you put it back on MTP you took it off USB debugging.

I didn't take it off of MTP+ADB. One I pressed save and reset I plugged my phone in and touched the USB button in the status bar then I selected mtp for media device instead of ptp for camera. Yet despite having the right settings my note 2 states that it is unable to find software on my computer that can recognize my phone. I'm using Windows 7 with the Samsung USB phone drivers installed already. This problem only started when I updated to the 4.3 update. Hopefully this information helps a bit more then my previous post.
