- I think I found a fix and it was quite easy to be honest. All I did was reinstall HTC SYNC and my computer is recognizing my phone now. Only thing is, i'm pretty sure if you want to use adb you had to uninstall this.
- Another solution is to update the RADIO on your phone to the newest version. (CREDIT GOES TO HAZAKINS FOR FINDING THIS)
I successfully rooted 2.2 today with the new guide. The first rom I flashed was RevE and noticed that when I plugged in my usb, to my computer, the notification bar would show up with the option of mounting or charging and then disappear after a second. Not only that, the phone didn't charge at all while connected and the notification bar was clear and didn't tell me whether I was charging only, ect even though it usually does.
The only way I am able to access my SD card is strictly through recovery now by mounting the usb. Other than that, there is no other way for me to access my SD card. Let me be clear that YES I have tried more than one USB port and usb cable but still there has been no luck. Let me also add that it was working fine before rooting.
Also, I just flashed to CM R2 successfully and the same issue still exists. I'm not really sure what else to do.
One interesting thing, if this means anything, that I found, was that I saw the My HTC drivers in device manager only when I accessed my SD card through recovery, it never appeared when I tried to connect my phone to my computer outside of recovery.
So, I'm not really sure what else to do. I have rebooted both my phone and my computer and I am really leaning towards the fact that it may have to do with the My HTC drivers. The thing is though, add or remove programs doesn't show My HTC when my phone is connected to the homescreen. But, I did manage to uninstall it while in recovery mode and as soon as I went back to the homescreen the driver installed so fast that I couldn't stop it from installing.
So, I have no idea what to do
I just confirmed that I am not the only one with this issue in IRC. We both narrowed it down to the driver being the issue. I'm not sure how exactly I can delete it though because it only shows up for an instant and then disappears. It isn't even in add or remove programs.
When you connect your phone, try toggling the USB Debugging off and then back on. I had similar problem (not exactly the same) and this is what worked for me.

I actually had this exact same problem... all the way up until I tried a different usb port... so I guess I got lucky.
But the one port was working fine up until I put the new ROM on it. Then it stopped working. Then I had to use a different port. I was able to do that... But now after phone reboot and PC reboot, 1st usb port works fine.
I hope it starts working for you.
I did same thing having same problem, I even downloaded another rom with rom manager and installed it, still same problem. When I plug in my USB cord it will pop up for a second on the phone to ask my charge or drive the goes away before i can do anything.

basically sums up my issue.
OK Here is the fix, buy a mini sdcard reader copy the pc36img file to your sdcard using this reader, install back in phone boot into recovery and let it update, then startover root process, this worked for me, I haven't update to 2.2 yet, but I got usb back

My fix was to get rid of the extension USB cable extender I was using. Apparently the signal degrades too much across it. I tried 3 different extender cables too.

I had the same issue. Using Unrevoked states to uninstall the HTC sync drivers. Just reinstall them and it should charge your phone. That worked for me...

I did that, twice, and the same issue is occurring.
Also having the same problem after the 2.2 down grade.
Same problem
I can't mount my SDcard either. I followed the new video tutorial to get root on phones that came with 2.2. I think something went wrong when i got that out of memory write error. I have tried two different computers and all their usb spots. I have not been able to mount sd card yet. It does charge however. Any ideas as what to do?? Oddly enough i was able to get Amon-ra recovery flashed so doesn't that mean i have full root??
Seems like a good amount of people are having this issue. If someone comes across a fix please share!!!
Try uninstalling My HTC and HTC Installer Drivers (I forgot the exact name) and then reinstalling HTC SYNC.
Got mine to work
on some other forum someone tried flashing the radios to the newest version and fixed the problem. I tried this as well and came back here to let you guys know that it worked for me also.
here is a link to the radio files.

Easy fix: Uninstall the HTC software, then reinstall it.
This should reinstall the driver for your EVO.
the HTC software uninstall and reinstall didnt work for me. Wish it would have.

Hi,
I have an AT&T i927. The usb doesn't work, but I can charge it.
Is it possible to update it with custom rom or official rom without usb functionality? I would like to update to Ics when available.

The problem isn't driver or debug mode.
I think I broke the usb plug because I pull the cable with phone attached. So I'd like to know if there is a way to update wiithout usb connection.

On my previous phone, I recall using marketplace to install Rom Manager (either OTA or Wifi), then using ROM Manager to install CWM (Again OTA or Wifi). I'm pretty sure I had root already, though I do not recall for certain. I do know I was pleased and surprised to get a custom recovery that worked (Had to watch the bootloader versions, USB was very handy for that. Updating a bootloader could kill recovery, so USB would then be critical to putting the old bootloader back on the phone until a newer CWM became available)!
Once I had Clockwork Mod (CWM) installed as my recovery, most of my flashing was done without USB.
Here's a thread for the Glide and CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458153
Apply Update (or other .zip file) from SD is the key function you need. Catastrophic recovery of a bootloader may not be possible w/o USB though.

After solving this problem I got a new one. My SGN won't mount even though I have USB debugging on. Windows both 64bit and 32bit won't recognize it. I try to install/reinstall the drivers but I can't since the phone won't mount. I haven't found any similar problems to this for SGN. Any suggestions/directions?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. I started a new thread since this is a different problem and probably not connected to the previous. I hope that's ok.

Just starting with the basics here. But have you tried a different USB port? If it's a desktop, the ones in the back (directly connected to the motherboard) are usually your best bet.
Second, are you using the stock cable? I've had problems with a few phones I've worked on that didn't like communicating with non factory cable.

I have tested every usb port both in my PC and laptop. I have used two different cables and I tried both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu). The cables are fine, my HTC Desire connects just fine. The phones charges but not connecting and this happened an hour ago after solving the previous problem I mentioned it the first post. So I'm 99% sure that the problem is about the device, not the PC/Laptop.
Read the connected thread to get the history of what happened. After returning to stock ICS I got the message for the JB update. Updated and now the phone works fine except the USB debugging and the fact that I don't have CWM atm. I can't install it either because I need to mount the phone. :/
Thanks for the quick reply though.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the device when connected does nothing, doesn't matter if I have USB debugging on or off.

No problem.
I was unable to mount with my Razr after I factory wiped to sell it a few weeks back. I wanted to make sure my SD ext had been wiped with the reset, but it wouldn't mount. Performed another factory reset and that solved the problem. That was with stock OTA ICS though.
However, I'm not sure that would help you much in this case since it looks like you did a clean install.

I've been having some trouble with this too. My phone does connect and "mount" (that's not exactly what happens, since it uses MTP rather than USB Mass Storage), but it always takes a while. The phone device shows up immediately, but the actual storage (shown under the phone device) always takes a minute or so to show up. It works just fine after that, but it's still pretty annoying to have to wait. I don't think I had this behavior before JB.

Oh, you're right! Just checked to make sure, and that's exactly what's going on. The internal storage shows up the second I unlock the phone, and if it's already unlocked when I connect it the storage shows up immediately. Guess I've always unlocked the phone after a while when it hasn't seemed to be working in the past, to check that it's indeed connected using MTP, but just haven't realized that unlocking it is what makes it show up. But that actually makes perfect sense, of course - you wouldn't want anyone to be able to access the files on a locked phone by just connecting it to a computer.

+1. Fast Charge could be enabled by your kernel. If you use the Franco update app or Trinity kernel control you should check that.

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.

Never been OTA updated to lollipop OE1? That one doesn't allow downgrading to older versions.
Device not recognized with USB in what mode and operation? Security protocols for KitKat and Lollipop are restricted. Device should be recognized in custom recovery or download mode. Did you try Odin? Power down, download mode and flash the NK2 stock tar. If you're still having problems ##786#. Still having issues, try the NIE stock tar. Make sure you power down before flashing stock tars. Link to KitKat tars mentioned above; follow OP, post 1 for instructions.

For root, you need CF Auto Root for Note 4. You can also try TWRP Manager for custom recovery. It's in Google Play. But you don't have to root to flash in Odin. Samsung KIES is alternate method for restoring factory firmware or updates but some are confused by the serial number request; not recognized. Haven't tried it myself.

Tx for the reply.
Device is not recognized in neither mode (normal, download or recovery).
I tried ##786# but i dont know my msl and i cant find a wy to get it (im outside the US so the phone is not activated). I tried some "msl reader find my msl" programs but they cant get it. Any1 has some apk that may work in my case?
As for the flashing as I stated all I need is a way to flash stock but i cant get the PC to recognize the phone so im stuck.
EDIT 1 As far as I know never been updated (bought the phone in ebay)
I don't know if there's anything that can be done but get a refund. Sounds like you bought a brick. Was it always a brick?
Did you try another USB port? Try the rear port. If not, try a hard reset: wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset and try to reboot. Long shot would be a hard reset and OB7 update.zip; unless it's completely stock, the update will be rejected. But I'm thinking that can no longer just be placed on external sdcard. That may have to placed on the file system as if the phone downloaded it, itself.
It's safer to hard reset. If not rebooting to normal operation, time to pursue a refund.

So I was thinking about the situation you're in. I recalled the phone can be unlocked to use internationally on 3G only. Is it unlocked? It would also
need to set your carrier APN/Access points to get data.
If you own the phone, Sprint will give you the MSL number. Sprint can help unlock it and there's also this method but I don't know much about about it. There's also the hard reset method that can be done within settings.
Here's a method that was requested with a pledged bounty. But try Sprint first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
My initial impression was phone is bricked but not sure if a locked phone's WiFi is bound to regional USA that would cause WiFi connection issues? It's still possible the USB issue is not using a USB 2.0 port or a bad cable. It may not be bricked. Try reinstalling driver and/or another PC.

I even tried update from external (since stock has no option for updating from the internal sd) but i get an error (update from external storage is disabled). The phone is practically a brick for the network part but I'm not sure I can return it back in the states as I'm in Europe. Any way i can root via some apk ?

I didn't think the root is possible without Odin for either the custom recovery or root.
eBay return practice would be to notify seller of issue. If no response, contact eBay.

Wouldnt the entire phone be soft-bricked (not just the network part) if you did the factory reset and wiped your phone but cant get the cable to recognize your phone on your pc ???
Or is that your current situation?
Well everything but network works. I can install apk's from sdcard, open apps etc. Next thing is the screen just got black and is not giving signs of life (didn't do anything it was charging) so it's going in a repair shop. Thanks everyone for the efforts. Case may be considered closed.

Well, good luck. Hope it works out for you.
As an after thought, have you tried connecting another Samsung phone to the computer?
