Hi all,
I'm experiencing the above problem. It started last week when I tried to reflash the firmware to a third party firmware. The unit could power up as normal, wifi, bluetooth all working fine but not the USB. I've tried installing a utility which switches the mode from RNDIS to USB but it still failed .. hard resetting the device does not help either. Is there a way that I could revive the USB connection? I couldn't sync my contact etc at the moment with my PC.
BTW, currently I'm on Onyx Jr. 4.1.2. I could not update to any firmware due to this and I don't have microSD to SD converter which I could use to copy the firmware to the microSD.
TA.
Disconnect sync cable. Reconnect to different usb port on computer. Right click ActiveSync in taskbar. Click connections. Make sure "Allow USB connections" is checked. If above fails, uninstall usb adapter in device manager, reboot computer. It'll reinstall with stock drivers after reboot.
It may happen due to faulty USB cable. Try and use another cable and on some other computer and check
I've tried all that I could think off including removing activesync and reinstalling it back. I've few miniUSB lying around and I've tested many of them but my notebook just did not want to recognized the htc touch. I've tried using those cables with my wife's tytnII and they worked .. could it be the hardware problem inside htc touch itself?
Tried with a new USB cable found in my newly bought GPS and if I reseat the cable properly, my notebook could recognised the htc touch. So I guess a new cable does help.. thanks all for the help.
I'm having trouble connecting my N9005 to my pc using Windows8. The problem is it does not recognize the phone's storage and is not able to mount it.
I've tried installing Samsung Universal USB Drivers to no avail.
My laptop only has USB2 ports and if I'm correct N9005 utilizes USB v3. Could it be the cause?
I also have the same problem in Ubuntu.
I also tried Samsung Kies and it doesn't work either.
Upon connecting, my PC recognizes that the phone's been connected but it's not able to mount the storage.

The Note 3 mounts as an MTP drive. Make sure you have it selected under the drive connection settings on your phone.
In some cases enabling USB Debugging in Developer Settings would allow for the USB to mount.

By any chance do you have any unknown devices listed in the Computer Management of your computer?
My Note 3 mounts normally

I don't know what really happened but this last time I connected the device, it mounted normally!
But there's still an unknown Mass Storage Controller in my Device Manager.
unable to connect
Hi,
Perhaps W8 assigned the wrong driver...or a bad / damaged usb cable(?)
Try a system restore to an earlier date
I allways connect my mobile device thru wifi and it's fine
Cheers,
USB3 is backwards compatible with USB2, don't worry about that.
Did you try another cable? You can use any microUSB 2.0 cable, it fits into the right side of the USB port. (the small left bit is the USB3 part.)
Did you unlock the screen when you connect the phone? It can't mount the storage, if you use a lockscreen setting other than none or swipe, until you unlock the screen.

Hello ShadowLea,
I'm having the same problem on my Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005: "USB device not recognized One of the usb devices connected to this computer has malfunctioned...." when I connect it to my USB3 on my laptop.
I tried the toothpick solution (lifting the tongue of the USB connector on my phone), I tried powering down the Laptop and waiting for 30 seconds to fullly discharge the capacitors, I tried changing 3 different USB cables. I tried different USB ports on Laptop (on USB3 I reiceve the error on the remaining 2 USB2 ports the error does not appear but the phone is not seen by Kies nor Odin.
BTW, FYI, the phone is also having battery charging issues: it only charges if pluggged into the laptop and won't charge if connected to the mains via wall charger (tried 3 different chargers, cables, mains sockets: all work with other devices).
I'm trying to flash a new ROM to try to fix the battery chargin problem but if Odin can't recognize the device...
Also, the dial pad code *#7284# which should give access to the Phone Utility (USB settings) is not working - all other dial pad codes work.

Nope, X-Note is fine and I'm using v16 right now without problems.
What I think fixed my problem was using a screwdriver on the usb port on the phone.
I tightened the screws a little bit and it was fine after that.

which screws are you talking about btw?
ive found countless times its a duff or cheap micro USB cable.
if you have been using the genuine Samsung one then it may be faulty. But try another cable.
does any other phone connect ok with the same cable?:good:
I had a similar issue with my note 2 a while back

The ones on the USB port when you remove the back cover.

No it doesn't connect with any other cable, it charges fine though :/
This problem has already been addressed and solved. Its a problem in the kernel. Download a custom kernel if your using X-note 18.
Wallah, Problem fixed

have anyone experience problem to connect the phone to laptop via usb cable.
i already enable the debugging but my laptop still can connect to the phone.
please anyone share how to solve this problem because it is very annoying.
thanks bro.
Try a different USB port or computer. Try disabling debugging and trying again. If neither of those work, manually install the USB drivers by getting them from the internet.
Hi folks I have a rooted N7 and have used plenty of different ROMs in the last 2 years. Since installing KK 4.4.4 I cannot connect to my computer by USB, neither Windows 8 or Linux.
OTG is working as I can access external USB cards, there is nothing wrong with the USB leads, needless to say I have tried different leads in different USB ports, the tablet still charges when connected by a USB cable.
In settings, storage has MTP activated, I have tried PTP and it still will not work.
In developer I have activated USB / Android debugging.
I am using multirom and have done so since it came out
My main rom is MAHDI 2.7
Secondaries areCM11 20140903 and pac_grouper-1-20140903
Any help would be appreciated.
Think it's solved
All my other Android devices connect with my computers by usb so I have to conclude that there is something wrong with the N& OTG port.
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
