UPDATED**** 1-23-2014
The USB issue was due to the port malfunctioning. I ordered a replacement part via Ebay for about 7 bucks and fixed it. Now I have PC access. As far as in updating the firmware...after 12 failed attempts via AT&T I just manually did it via Odin and now it is updated. Thanks for everyone trying to help me out. Hated it was a hardware issue and not just a tech/Soft problem :/
The past week I have noticed my Note 2 charging slower than normal. Sometimes randomly disconnecting and connecting when plugged into the ac adaptor. I figured it could have been the cable or the adaptor itself...so I replaced it. It seemed to work...but then it was acting buggy again. Then...lastnight I noticed when I was wanting to transfer a few file from my laptop to the phone...it would charge the phone but would not allow it to connect to the file system at all. I scoured the net for solutions and tried just about everything I could find...as well as the more simpler options as try a different cable...but nothing worked. I also tried it on 2 other laptops...no luck.
My phone was rooted...but never used a custom rom and so I decided to just unroot and do a clean slate in case there was something that borked. Everything went smooth...but now, after doing the unroot and factory reset...the usb still charges...but no connection at all. I went through all the settings and set them as they should and nada. On top of that while I do have my phone service...I have no data at all. I have called att and they were no help. Samsung passed me off to android customer service and they were no help. So now what can I do?
Problems:
-No mobile data available
-No USB to PC file transfer ability (kies air works...but not usb to pc)
-I also cannot update past 4.1.1. The updater says I can check again in 24 hours....lol
Ok...so I fixed one issue already. Found a solution to the mobile data network issue. It would appear that due to the factory reset...it lost all of the APN info for linking with at&t. I found how to restore it here: http://forums.att.com/t5/Android-Di...-Phone-APN-Settings/td-p/3467513#.Ustjil8e-Co
To fix the USB connection to your computer
You need to connect USB. Then, in dialer, dial *#7284#
Go to Qualcomm settings
Select MTP+ADB
Done."

Tried that...before I unrooted and even after unrooting. Still doesn't work
Try installing Samsung Kies on your computer and updating your drivers.
Or try a different cord it might be a bad cord.

Didn't think about trying that. I just attempted though and no luck either
This is irritating because ever since I unrooted and restored to original fw the usb charge works perfectly fine...no longer cutting in and out like it used too. But just cannot connect to the PC via USB for file transfers. Kies works fine doing that...but USB is no long an option
Have you tried uninstalling the old USB drivers for it then reinstalling them?

Yes...no luck
So I did a factory reset again just in case...still the same issues. USB will charge...but no connect. Kies and PC will not see it. Only kies air works. On top of that I have now attempted to update the firmware via at&t through settings and it fails EVERY time. It downloads 100% and after reboot and goes into at&t installation it always fails at 24 or 25%. 5 times in a row...for 5 days is ridiculous. Any more ideas?
At this stage I wish I could re-root it and then flash the original stock rom again to make sure that it didn't bork the first time. But I cant I'm assuming because I need to be able to connect via USB. Am I wrong? Am I wasting my time?

Since USB is charging. Can you check under device manager, what name it is showing for your device? May be you are missing drivers therefore your phone is not recognized by PC.

It doesn't show anything. The only thing that stops the phone charging when I disable or uninstall is what is labeled Renesas electronics USB 3.o root hub and host controller. 2 separate items. BUT...its not plugged into a 3.0 port anyway...even though in the past it has worked fine...for over a year no less. I have uninstalled that item...as well as uninstall the Samsung drivers before...rebooted while phone is NOT plugged in...re-installed the Samsung drivers...then plugged the phone back in and it still doesn't work. Still charges...and the item comes back...but no usb to pc file exploring capabilities. Same for other computers too. Have tried another computer as well...one that my phone has never plugged into. It charges...but no connectivity. The computers just don't even see it for some reason.
Is there a way I can root the phone without USB to pc support? I'm hoping to try and update it once rooted with ODIN.
You don't need root access to flash a stock rom. I was having usb-charging issues, and a return to stock 4.1.1 cured the issue. I replaced the USB board but that didn't fix it. So, stock would be my advice.
You could put the stock package on your SD card using an adaptor and your PC. But I don't know if you have a custom recovery.

My only thing is I have no usb to pc file sharing capabilities unless I use Kies Air. Otherwise I cannot. I have tried now 8 times so far to update the phone and I cannot. It downloads fine...but upon rebooting to install it fails everytime at 24 to 25%. All I want to do is update the phone. It is a simple as that.
Take your SD card out of your phone.
Put it in an adapter.
Put that in a PC with an SD card slot.
Copy the stock ROM to the SD card.
Remove the SD card from the PC and adaptor, then insert it in your phone.
Boot into recovery and flash the ROM.

When you say boot into recovery...are you talking about where I load rom from sd card...adb or something like that? And...can I do this for 4.3? I have 4.1.1 already. I was trying to update to 4.1.2 to see if it will fix the usb issue as well as the updating issue. But if I just had the 4.1.2 and flashed it would that do the same thing as updating?

My Samsung Galaxy S2X was working fine after the ICS update, but since two days I,m unable to connect the phone to my laptop. It tries to install the software automatically and after a while it give out an error saying that Samsung Mobile MTP Device failed. Earlier, the phone directly gave the option in the notification bar to connect as an USB storage but now it shows up Connected as a Media device.
I've tried every option available, from deleting files with 16 characters to re-installing Kies and the USB drivers. I tried connecting the phone to different computers but the problem still persists.
Another issue after the update was that the Bluetooth transfer rate is very slow with ~30kbps transfer rate which earlier in GB was 3Mbps+.
I'm wondering if its got something to do with the new ICS update or am I the only one with this issue? The device is on stock ICS and is not rooted.
Thanks for any HELP...
EDIT:
Solved the problem by doing a factory reset.

Which system? Windows or android? and what do you mean by "restoring"? Factory settings?
I have been having the same problem for 2 months now. I don't know what's wrong. I have tried EVERYTHING! Nothing works!
I even installed the drivers while the phone is turned off, turned on with debug mode and when battery is taken off while connected: the OMAP4430 drivers: and still it didn't work, lol. I don't know what the hell is wrong with that f***er, lol? It won't give in!
I removed all Kies with all drivers many times, like 6 or 7 times, connected the phone to pc while it's off then turned the pc on, changed cable, usb port, tried different computers, tried this *#7284# thing, etc... The only thing i didn't try is black magic and voodoo! Or maybe i should try hypnosis? Or electric DC shock?
Anyway, if you have found a solution, please let me know

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.

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 have upgraded to an S3 from having a Vibrant for years. I rooted and flashed several OS's to my Vibrant in those years without an issue ever. I have been trying to get files transferred to my S3 from my computer for 2 weeks now. The computer has the drivers installed correctly. It is recognized by name when I plug it in (it comes up as SGH-T999, Kies will recognize it too). whenever i try to transfer ANYTHING it stops in the middle of the transfer. just sits there with no further progress to be achieved. This is insanely frustrating. I am unable to root this thing because of the inability to actually transfer.
Things I have tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling Kies multiple times
Uninstalling all USB device drivers multiple times
Reinstalling drivers through Kies and through Samsung's website multiple times
Factory reset on the phone multiple times (****ing aggravating btw)
Using my old Vibrant cable
Changing between MTP and camera mode... several times
Yelling at it
I have been trying to research how to fix this garbage for weeks now. there is no concrete way to remedy this problem that i have found. every thread about this is littered with the usual "uninstall your driver and reinstall it" nonsense that is the most generic response to anything tech related ever.
What I can tell you is that my phone is definitely getting recognized by anything that can do so. Odin, Kies, My computer, etc etc... it appears that the issue lies in the actual data transfer. As I mentioned, transfers initiate but will lock up mid-process and just hang there infinitely. Same goes with Odin when I try to get it to flash into CWM recovery.
Please, help. any time spent trying to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
Are you uding the usb cable thst came with the phone?
Have you tried different cables? Or on another computer?
Im guessing your not rooted then?
Try installing the drivers ONLY. get them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728605
Uninstall previous versions of everything first.
What version odin are you using? Use 3.07 from above post if you're not already.
Also try this app

If you are rooted try SwiFTP or another wireless transfer app.
Sorry to mention drivers again but if you're relying on kies to do that for you it could be the issue.

I'd also run windows update and check if there's a new bios/drivers for your mobo and usb controller.
If you plug another "foreign" usb device does it install fine?
May not have any bearing whatsoever here but do you have usb debugging checked? And I think I mentioned it in the other post but try a different computer if possible.
You said that this happens when using odin too? As in you start the flash with Odin but it doesn't complete? Or it wont even start? Does it give you any message?
When plugged in in download mode, does Odin show your COM port in the upper left?
Plug in the phone and open device manager. Does it show any errors or anything?

everything else works fine from my 6 USB ports (2 USB 3.0 ports as well). The tool kit solution still needs Odin to root. The problem is not detecting the device. it is the transferring of data. Data transfers begin but that's about it. Odin gets to "firmware update start" and then "boot.img" and just hangs there forever. no change. nothing else.
Is there a wireless way to do this? I have purchased Rom Manager but since i can't achieve root it is just useless now. The phone is brand new from the Tmobile store. Not once has it been dropped (to put into perspective how careful i am with my devices, I managed to drop my Vibrant once in ~3 years, which caused no damage, what a great phone that was). I have not been able to read about this same issue anywhere else either...generally its an issue with the PC not recognizing the device but when someone gets it to link up correctly, it works. this is the opposite.
thank you for your ideas so far.

Odin shows the "0:COM" like it should, which means it is able to read that the device is there, it just is unable to do anything after "boot.img", everything that is needed for this to work via the toolkit method is checked (USB debug and unknown sources).
I just got the s3 and had transfer issues too. Turns out my s2 drivers wasn't perfect for it even though it recognizes the device. I used the s3 drivers instead and that helped things a bit with accessing my phone's storage. So i ended up formatting my internal storage and that seems to do the trick for me.
If that doesn't work and odin still gets stuck then try different usb ports also try different wires

Try connecting without the external sdcard in.
What build are you currently on. Since you haven't roited or anything im assuming you're still on either UVALEM or UVALG1. If so try initiating the software update. It should download the ota thatll take you up to UVALH2. Maybe that'll help.

Did you do that through terminal? doesn't the single partition mean that it would wipe everything?
Make sure the drivers you are using are the same ones that are in my comment (version).
What are you trying to flash through Odin? If the permissions of the files inside the tar file are not correct, the transfer will hang, and do nothing but give a timeout message after a couple minutes. I learned this the hard way.
In summary:
Use a different USB cable.
Download drivers, Odin, and CWM from my signature. After uninstalling the old drivers manually through devman (be sure to delete them during uninstall), reinstall them from the package you downloaded. Then use Odin to flash CWM. All three of these packages are tested and known to be 100% working. Please don't ignore this step. If I can't verify the validity of your installation sources, I can't rule this out for troubleshooting purposes.
If this doesn't work, it is most likely your computer. Are there any BIOS firmware updates that improve USB compatibility, or USB controller driver updates? The USB 3.0 isn't natively supported on =< Win7, so those are third party drivers. But I will assume you are connected to a USB 2.0 port.

None of that worked. I did find a BIOS upgrade for my mobo that i didnt know was released, flashed it, and transfers still hang. i tried everything from your sig to no avail. i DON'T have access to another computer... BUT i do have Ubutnu running on my comp in conjunction with Win 7 Ultimate 64. can't seem to find too much on non-international S3 stuff for linux.
this has consumed my entire day and i am so frustrated.
Try in safe mode? This sounds really frustrating. I gave up when this happened with my mac. I think someone said it already but I always recommend Airdroid. It's just simpler.

airdroid for music transfers, got it. im screwed on the root thing though.
I didn't do it through terminal. I just connect it to the computer. Right click phone's internal storage and clicked format. It was a very quick format.

so let me get this straight... you plugged the phone in, right clicked on it in a browser window, clicked on format, selected yes to the "hey, this is going to erase everything on the device" warning pop up, and you were able to transfer files no problem after that? no adverse side effects came from this? it sounds like it would brick the phone...

I had these frustrations as well. I finally move where I was connecting the cables. First instinct was the easiest access on my computer. It always failed. I finally decided to try my back usb and it worked it also picked up as a mass storage as well.

Yeah I'm starting to think you might need to use a different computer. Odin detects so it's not drivers.
From my experience with the hangs when i was on the s2. Many also reported this but what helped was different usb ports, wires, or an entirely different computer.

I am suffering the same thing. My S3 is rooted.... read that it's not the problem.....but I've uninstalled, reinstalled everything,
rebooted the phone - NOTHING. Still can't connect. Also tried 3 different PCs with the original cable the S3 came with.
NO LUCK.
HELP!??

I had to try a few different USB ports on my computer before I could get it to connect. Oddly it connected perfectly first time with Kies via WiFi (Settings -> More Settings -> Kies via WiFi) - but of course you can't update that way.
oops wrong thread...

Ok, so ive downloaded and installed the latest drivers, enabled usb debugging, allowed unsigned apps etc. but whenever i get to the point of running motochopper it gets stuck on "daemon started successfully". ive checked my model number and its the correct device to be able to root but i cant get it to go past that message. Am i missing something? Ive tried following several guides on rooting the s4 with motochopper and i always end up in the same place. Ive tried rebooting the phone and my pc several times. so i dont know what im missing
UPDATE: so i just tried it again and it says that "'adb is not recognized as an internal or exterbal command, operable program or batch file."
i get this error when i run the program as admin. If i run the .bat file normally it gives the previous error

for starters, post in the S4 section. i'd share a link to that but i have no idea what your model number is or who your carrier may be. cheers
however i would like to say i have tried all the troubleshooting mentioned for kies and nothing will allow it to connect to my phone

I currently rooted using the latest version of the Sons of Android ROM. Last night I made a back-up of it and flashed the Synergy ROM to test it for a friend. When I restored my back-up, I could no longer connect to the computer. I tried to reinstall the drivers through Kies and also direct from Samsung. The phone charges when connect to the USB port, but does not connect. I have tried two computer so I think it is the phone.
I search the forums and didnt find anything that help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

I can not find any fast charge setting. I am starting to worry that I might have damaged the phone. I hope I just need to re-flash a driver or something.
Thank you!
make sure you're using the factory cable for the device.
try another USB port, preferably a port directly connected to the computers motherboard.
delete the current USB drivers for your phone on the computer. reboot it. in task manager, stop any kies background processes. reinstall drivers. reboot and see if that takes.

Did you make a nandroid of the previous rom ? Flash back to that . Flashing any rom made for the NA version of the Galaxy s3 will NOT brick your phone. NO physical damage will happen in any way.
Yes check the cord to make sure its not that....samsung phones are picky....even with the same cord.
Fast charge is usually in the kernel settings menu. It will be something you would had to enable, I've never seen it come enabled on a rom. What kernel are you on ? I don't think you see that setting on TW based rom's anyway ( I assume you are on SoA right now?)
Have you tried to do a complete wipe and flash another rom ?

I have a nandroid of my stock (after rooted) ROM, but it is on my computer now, not on the phone so I cant access it. I also had a nandroid of Sons of Android that was connecting just fine before I flashed Synergy ROM. I restored the Sons of Android ROM (nandroid) that was still on my external SD card and that didnt fix it.
I just did a complete wipe (Cache, Davlik Cache, System, Factory Reset, and Internal Memory), then installed the Wicked ROM with the stock kernel. It still doesnt work.
I tried two different cord on two different computers with no luck.
Thank you!
Is your usb debugging enabled?

Completely remove the drivers on your PC and reinstall again. Also if you have kies remove that first.

USB Debugging is currently enabled, but I have tried it both ways.
I also am noticing my data connection is really, really slow, much slower than normal. I looked under the Synergy ROM and there was some talk of needing to reflash modem and bluetooth when reverting to a stock kernel. Could this be the problem?
Thanks!
You could try mobile Odin and flash the rooted stock that way... Its a shot
You have to use a .tar file though

Can you you give me some more info on Mobile Odin? I have never heard of it.
Last night I flashed the KT747 kernel because it has updated USB drivers, but it still didnt work.
I still have to believe that something went wrong when flashing the other night because that is when it stop work, but I am starting to think it is a hardware issue. It is very wierd!
Thank you!
Do you get any error when plugging it? I had a similar issue last week until I updated Windows.

Nope, no error message. It just doesnt reconize it is there. I have tried three computers (Windows 7 - 64 Bit & (2) XP 32 Bit) and three different cords.
This sucks! Now I am hearting it from all the iPhone users.

When is use the *#7284#, I get the UART section that is on PDA and I cant change it.
Under the USB section I have button that says "Qualcomm USB Settings" with a whole punch of options:
MTP
MTP + ADB
PTP
PTO + ADB
RNIS + DM + MODEM
RMNET + DM + MODEM
DM + MODEM + ADB
Should I use one of these settings?
Thank you!

You should have two options, MODEM and PDA. Mine is set to MODEM.
Still no luck! Very Frustrating!
I used Mobile Odin to flash back completely to stock, and the usb still would not connect. I do not know what else to do. I will have to remove the SD Card and use a card reader for now. I can flash back to stock when if I want to take it in and get it fixed or replaced.
