I've tried everything I can think of and still can't find any way for my mac to read the phone. I've been using the usb cable that came with the phone.
Deleted, wrong thread.

Hey guys, just got my Tab a few days ago, its unlocked and its working great. I want to root, but my PC wont recognize it (running win7) and it says the USB device has malfunctioned... wth? I searched through some threads about the drivers, and ive tried 4 different ones, restarted my PC, AND my Tab, with no luck. No, USB Debugging is not enabled. (not a noob, just, simply not working)
Any ideas? I would appreciate it
I just got my tab 3hours ago. I got it to work.
Here are what i've done
1.go to control panel and see if samsung usb driver is there. If it is, uninstall it.
2.disable usb debugging on the tab
3.connect the tab to the computer.
Thats wht worked for me. Hope it helps. And yes, samsung has really got to work on the usb thing.
Unzip and run the attached file. Delete any old unused USB device and delete any Android, Samsung or other related device then reinstall Samsung drivers.

This helped me: my computer tower has front and back USB ports. Back USB ports are directly embedded in the motherboard, front USB ports are a wire run from the case plugged into the motherboard, but the front USB ports are on a different chip.
When I first tried using the ADB debugger with Android, ADB would not even find my device if I plugged the device into the front USB ports. If I move the cord to the back USB ports, everything works properly. Maybe this is your issue?
Thanks guys, I believe I got it working.
Hi guys,
After upgrading to ICS I've been unable to connect my pad to the PC. This is usually not a problem, but last night I needed adb to re-root it. Nothing worked, nothing connected. Tried installing drivers and the Asus sync, but no luck.
Is this a known problem? Anyone got a solution? I doubt it's the hardware as I connected a few days before upgrading...
Found a solution. Went into Settings->Storage and turned MTP off and back on.

THANK YOU! Everytime I plug in my ET4G to the dock to charge it that stupid MTP crap always comes up. Had no idea I could disable it. Thanks!
yeah, this doesn't always help... I had the same problem when i first got my TF101, and i tried all the tricks, the one mentioned here with mtp, enabling and desabling debug mode, turning off and on with usb plugged in, and some others i can't remember... nothing.
In case anyone else is looking for the answer and the quick tips don't work, what did it for me was installing Android Revolution HD rom. I've read that this problem could also be bootloader related.
Anyways, cheers.
How to connect an ICS device to your computer
Step 1. Connect device to computer via USB
Step 2. Set USB connection as Media Device (MTP) (p.s. if you use a Mac you need to download Android File Transfer)
Step 3. Disable USB debugging if enabled
I hope this helped.
when you need turn off MTP it mean your computer doesn't have driver.
If you need using MTP go to asus page and download driver. it's easy to install driver ^^...
recently I can't understand why same file but the computer at my office can't install that file instead other computers working normal... maybe my work place using old windows version...
Like I wrote earlier - mine was actually in MTP mode, but I had to switch to camera mode and back to MTP for it to start working. Thanks for the replies, though. Hopefully it will help some other people with the same problems
I've had my S4 for just about two years now, and have been looking into getting a new phone. I wanted to update it to 5.0 and back it up. My charging port went (yet again) so I bought a replacement and now it will charge like new. However, I cannot get it to connect to any PC and it won't show up in devices.
Things I have tried to remedy this:
-Unistalled/reinstalled newest drivers
-Uninstalled/reinstalled newest Kies
-Four different cables (all of which claim to be OEM, one IS OEM)
-Multiple USB ports on two PCs (Win 7, Win 10) and an iMac
-Checked all connections of new charging port
-Changed USB settings to MTP, MTP+ADB
As I said, I have run out of options. I can only get this thing to charge when connected to a computer, no data. It won't even show up under Device Manager or as a USB storage device.

that didn't work either. The charging port is brand new, and also a brand new cable. Any other suggestions?
Try flashing your device with the default rom
how would I do that? I can't connect it to PC to back it up or download a ROM
Hi Basically plugged my S4 i9505 in via usb. Nothing shows in my computer, but phone remains charging. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all samsung usb drivers but it does nothing. Tried installing kies/older usb drivers, still no luck. Regardless of if there are drivers or not on my pc, there is no detection what so ever. My pc is detecting my second S4 I9505 perfectly. Anyone know the solution to this?

Tap 5 times buildnumber in settings menu under: about phone to open developer settings. Enable USB debugging. Now you can choose what to do when phone is plugged in pc.

USB debugging is Enable still nothing happen
USB debugging is not required in order to have the phone recognized by the computer.
Have you tried different USB cables and USB ports? Is the phone detected on other computers?
i had the same problem.... and we found out that the pins or the usb connection sh1t from the phone doesn`t make good contact. si try to push a little but or force up and down the usb cable to the usb from phone maybe you will manage to find a stable connection or something.
when i connect to phone to the pc i have to hold the usb cable connected to the phone in a weird position. that works for me
Hello devs and all miui fans
So, its already about months by now having problems with USB tethering/MTP mode. PC noticed like "USB device malfunction...."
I cannot conected my device to PC via MTP mode. I was tried to On/off debugging, on/off mtp-ptp (in CusRom), switch USB Cable, but all of that suggestions doesnt working.
There is no option but charging when i connected my R2P to PC via USB cable,but the strange that is "i can flash via fastboot, means that there is no issue bout cable/pc/or my device hardware right?"
Already tried many ways that available in this forum or outside (sorry cannot attach link, im too confuse lol) such 3rd party app, clean re flash STOCK ROM, and intsall/uninstall drivers on pc, but the problems cannot fixed.
please help me, im desperate and you know how useless smartphone if it cannot transfering media data from/to PC via MTP. I've attached screenshoot from setting>network>more>and there you can see that the usb thetering option are disabled (grayed out)
Thanks, and sorry bout my english
