I have tried three cables, three different ports, and all I get is something to install drivers. (See attachment) Is there something simple I'm missing? I want to transfer my backup to my pc before I flash global. ADB works fine, haven't tried fastboot yet.
Did you enable file transfer on your phone in the usb settings?
Also try disabling ADB Debugging. It also might be a driver problem so you could try to reinstall the android drivers.
If all fails you get transfer data via ftp there are a lots of apps for that.

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

what next?

I have this same issue, in download mode, the device is still not connecting.
what is the next step? I have followed this thread and have the still have the same issues.
This is a comprehensive guide for troubleshooting the 'MTP Driver Installation Failed' problem on Windows 7
specifically for the GT-I9300, but also applies to other phones (except the part about Samsung and Kies).
This guide combines all the tips and tricks found around the web that have had results in resolving this issue.
If at any point you're fed up with the problem, keep in mind that there are free apps like USB Mass Storage Enabler
that enable UMS mode on your phone instead of MTP mode.
First of all try removing the battery for 3 minutes and restarting the phone and trying then (if you haven't already).
Ok lets start.
For troubleshooting purposes,
1. Remove your Sim and Memory Card.
2. Always use the USB ports at the BACK panel of the PC
rather than the front panel and the original USB cable provided by your manufacturer.
3. Download and install the latest version of Samsung Kies
and make sure to check the 'install USB driver' at the end.
Try the following to pinpoint the source of the issue:
1. Ensure that you have USB Debugging switched off. If it is on,
switch it off, reboot your phone and try to reconnect.
2. Try a different USB port at the back panel of your PC.
3. Try a different USB cable.
4. Uninstall Kies and USB Drivers. Open up USBDeview
(in the SGS Toolkit or from the web) and uninstall all drivers that say
'Samsung' or 'GT-I9300'.
Reboot and reinstall Kies and USB Drivers and try to reconnect.
You can find USB Deview here:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/usbdeview.html
Ok so none of this worked for you. Lets try finding the source of the problem i.e. either your phone or windows.
- Make a nandroid backup of your current apps/settings. Copy this backup,
megawipe and your Nandroid backup of your STOCK ROM to an external SD card.
Boot into recovery and flash megawipe. DO NOT reboot the phone. Restore the stock
ROM from your external SD Card. Do a data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Reboot and plug in the phone to see if it works.
Megawipe can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326
If it works, then it's a problem with your ROM or its settings.
If it doesn't, it's most likely a Windows issue as we've excluded everything else that it could be.
Its my phone!
- Boot into CWM and flash megawipe. Flash your preferred ROM/gapps from scratch as per the developer's
instructions. DO NOT flash backups. As soon as you're past the welcome settings pages, connect the
USB cable and see if it works.
If it doesn't then your ROM has a problem with MTP mode and you need to contact your ROM developer about it.
If it does, then it's a problem with your settings. Use the stock nandroid from here on:
Its my settings!
1. Make sure that you have USB Debugging Disabled.
2. If you use apps like Gemini App Manager or System Tuner that disable apps on certain events,
make sure you didn't disable anything related to USB connectivity.
3. Try to restore system apps like media storage or anything else that might have been
necessary for your phone to work correctly.
3. Start from scratch. Install programs and settings one by one and figure out when
it no longer connects to your pc to find the culprit.
It's Windows!
1. Download and extract the latest MTP Driver from here:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=SAMSUNG+Mobile+MTP+Device+Driver&x=0&y=0
With your phone connected, go to Control Panel>Device Manager>Portable Devices
Double click the MTP Driver and go to the Driver tab. Click 'Update Driver'. Now click
'Browse my computer for driver software'>Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer>Have Disk
and browse to the folder you extracted the drivers to. Hit OK>Next.
See if it installs
2. Open Start>Run>Regedit and browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
Browse to these two folders and delete the registry keys called 'UpperFilters' and 'LowerFilters':
{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}
{EEC5AD98-8080-425F-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}
Reboot your system and try to reconnect.
If the keys don't exist, create them and delete them:
-Right click>New>MultiStringValue>UpperFilters
-Double click the key and enter any random value
-Connect your phone now and let the install fail
-Disconnect the phone and delete the key you created
-Reconnect the phone
2. Uninstall Kies and drivers with USBDeview. Install the MTP Driver from here, reboot and try to reconnect:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19153
3. Install the latest Windows Media Player from Microsoft. If you don't like it, you can always remove it when you're done. Reboot after install and connect your phone to see if it worked.
4. Try an OLDER version of the Samsung USB drivers from below. Uninstall all the current drivers with usbdeview and then install these. If you know of a date when your usb connected just fine, use a driver closer to that date:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=Samsung+USB+Driver+for+Mobile+Phones&x=0&y=0
5. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO VIRUSES OR TROJANS ON YOUR SYSTEM AS THIS CAN
COMPROMISE SECURITY!
Open Start>Run>cmd and type this into the command prompt:
net localgroup Administrators "local service" /add
Reboot, and reconnect your device and see if it works.
5. Do a clean install of windows, install the motherboard and video card drivers, then install Kies and USB Drivers. See if the phone connects.
If not, update using Windows update and try again. Don't install any other programs
until this step is complete.
Thats the end of the guide. If you've tried all of these steps and failed, then it's a good idea
to just give up and use one of the many alternatives.
Use UMS Enabler or simply connect your sd card to your pc directly rather than from the phone.
You can even do wireless transfers using ES-File Explorer or Samba filesharing.
Hope this helps!
None of those worked to me. i tried using drivecleanup, reinstalling wmp, installing kies, debug mode, removing upperfilters but everytime went back to the same error. What worked to me was:
- download file from that post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37042201&postcount=28;
- extract files from that package to some folder (;
- delete all wpdmtp* from \windows\system32;
- plug phone (it will give an error installing drivers);
- go to control panel -> system -> device manager;
- right click on mtp and poitn to the folder of extracted files;
after that, windows was able to install mtp properly.
Thanks to user Israelleite for the download.
Driver for Redmi note 11 MTP Failed on Windows 11 x64 = Test this _Link_DownLoad
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?
I have lost the ability to transfer files,in usb mode tried different cables and different computers.
Running Aquarios Rom just bstarted happening yesterday any ideas as to whats going on?
i can transfer pictures but not data'
Have you tried toggling USB Debugging?
You could also try uninstalling the drivers and reinstall by plugging your phone up. There's also the Google USB drivers.
I tried everything updated adb drivers
Google USB drivers
Cannot get into USB transfer mode
Ptp mode is fine,so I move data I need to dcim folder to retrieve it.
Very annoying.
I'm wondering if full factory install will help?
All of sudden it's working
I stopped being able to use USB either for file transfer or for adb. Google told me to install drivers which really doesn't work when the PC doesn't see your phone...
I tried a different computer and it did see the phone and said that it installed drivers.
When I put it back on my PC it was working again.
Failed again, USB options all grayed out, and I used different (new) USB-C and that worked.
FWIW.
