Hey all,
Of late, whenever I try connecting my GALAXY 3 to the PC using USB, nothing happens. USB-Debugging is off. And it's supposed to ask me everytime I connect. But lately, nothing happens when I connect it. It does charge though however. And I do get the "Device Connected" sound. But that's about it.
Anybody faced a similar problem? Anybody know the solution to it? Will a reflash of the ROM do the trick? I currently use Kyrillos' ROM

I checked with another PC as well, it's not getting detected. I'm on Windows 7 Professional.
i had also faced a similar problem.
SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME-go to settings -> privacy and do factory reset.
also go in recovery and there also select the third option wipe data factory reset...
after this the pc detected me...
hope this works for you..
dont forget to press the thanks button if it worked...
if you are using some 3rd party laucher........switch back to twlauncer (android launcher) and try.......
check whether you have phone drivers installed or not.....
if not install kies once...

How will I get my data back then?
Try this:
Make sure that the USB cable is not connected from phone to PC.
On the mobile, dial *#7284#
An app called 'PhoneUtil' will open up.
Under USB section, make sure that 'PDA' is selected. If its already selected, then select 'modem' and then again select 'PDA'.
Once done, press 'back' to exit the app
Now Plug the USB cable again. It should work now.
Seems a common enough problem, happened to me as well. The only way I fixed it was a factory reset (tried the phone util thing and it didn't work for me). To save your data I recommend you use a backup app such as my backup root. To do this you will need to root your phone which you can do easily with z4root which you can get here: tiny.cc/z4Root. It will only soft root your phone (temporary root only lasts till you turn your phone off) so it is easily reversable and no chance of brick.

I'm not sure when this problem first appeared. For whatever reason, my phone doesn't show up at all when connected to either of my two PCs. It must have when I first rooted the phone (to load ChainSU) but I'm not sure if the problem is recent or occurred immediately thereafter.
USB debugging is disabled. When I plug my phone into a computer, it attempts to install the MTP Driver and fails. When I uninstall my device, it disappears and I'm unable to manually install the driver's I've downloaded from other threads. When I load into the Bootloader, my device is recognized by Fastboot.
I'm hesitant to factory reset as this will leave me unable to root if the problem persists, which is important to me as I can get rid of the yellow tint on this screen.
Any thoughts?

Are you definitely sure usb debugging is disabled? The phone should install as a portable device on your pc. Also ensure to enter your password onto your phone when connected otherwise the phone will not show up its contents.
Make sure for windows media player to be updated to the latest, for the windows mtp driver.

There are a few things you can try. Have you tried uninstalling the drivers completely then reinstalling from the toolkit? In the past, I've had issues where the phone wouldn't be accessible in some way on one computer but would be fine on another, so maybe try a different computer to try to narrow down the problem as to whether it's an issue with the phone or the computer? Also, this may sound a bit ridiculous, but simply switching USB cables and / or ports has fixed detection issues for me in the past as well--something to consider.

Remove any existing drivers (while phone is connected), do the same for other android devices if you have any, then reboot and install Universal Naked Drivers. Have always had success with this driver pack.

100% sure on both counts.
I have this same issue with my rooted nexus 4, I've tried 3 different computers and several cables and it never connects to the PC and only charges the phone. It doesn't even give me option to choose media files.
I've had this issue before, my Nexus/Computer was acting in complete stupidity. When connecting the phone to your computer you will see a notification saying "Connected as a media device" on your phone, just touch it, and change it to "Camera (PTP)". It might access the camera for you, but It actually accessed the storage for me.

Thats not the problem, it doesn't give any option. It doesn't show up on the computer at all and only charges. It's the same for every computer.

I'm thinking we've screwed something up with the phone's side of the MTP protocol - mine is totally independent of the cord/computer used. All the correct drivers installed.
Have you tried Factory Resetting? I'm really hoping this is a workable option.
If you have a recovery back up the current Rom and flash stock and see if it's working

I had same problem on my pc yesterday. Even if the drivers installer showed up that installation was successful, somehow for a mtp mode system was using some other Microsoft driver. Correct one was only used in ptp mode. So when I connected n4 in mtp mode storage wasn't available, when I switched to ptp mode everything was fine. Turn on your usb debug, switch on mtp and connect. Go to device manager in system, find your nexus there and rmb on it and manually reinstall driver. After this my n4 is visible in system in mtp mode again.

The problem is that even if I switch between MTP and PTP it still does nothing, I have tried multiple cables, computers and have reflashed the ROM and wiped the device but it still does not connect with the PC. This is frustrating.

Is yours able to connect during Bootloader/Recovery? Fastboot/ADB have no trouble recognizing my device.
It's really odd that if these things work, meaning your USB connection is fine, replacing the all of software fixed nothing... unless MTP occurs at a much lower level of the OS (maybe kernel is corrupted?)
I've got a similar problem that others have posted - PCs not detecting my N4. I got it last Friday (2/1) from Google and after the registering process and updating to 4.2.1, I connected it to my Win7 laptop and it showed on the PC as a drive. But since I couldn't copy/paste Office docs to that drive and had to do that through Dropbox, I didn't bother trying to reconnect until Monday, at which time the PC didn't detect it. Neither will one other Win7 nor two XP (both with WMP10) PCs. Have tried multiple cables, all of which work with other Android devices (pre 3.0). I've seen several suggestions on this and other threads, but one major issue I'm having is that some of the fixes require enabling USB Debugging. For the life of me I can't find that option in the N4's Settings. Unlike my other phones, there is no Applications subcategory under Settings on my N4 (4.2.1, Build JOP40D). Can anyone help me find that option? TIA.
Edit - Found answer. Click on Build in About Phone setting 7 times. That activated Developer options. Now to try the fixes which require USB Debugging mode turned on.
Im having an issue with my phone connecting to computer. I'm trying to get back to stock but have no way in getting into odin without usb. I think their is a problem with something on the phone it isn't a pc or cable problem. I also had a new flex port recently installed. My phone will charge when connected to computer but it will not sync nor even recognized by device manager. I cant find any info anywhere with this issue. I try to enable mtp through hidden menu using *#0808# but it wont stay enabled resets after reboot. I also cant find menu under settings for usb. There use to be a menu in storage but it seems like its not there anymore. im on beans 4.4.2 nc4 with nc2 bootloader. can't find a solution nowhere.
I have the same problem, been trying to search online for few days, can't find the solutions.

Try dl'g the Sammy drivers directly from here and just click on the "See all Downloads", click "Send" and save the .exe file.
Run it as administrator, and once complete, plug in phone and that should correct the pc to phone issue.

Enable developer mode (tap on settings, about and then tap on the build number 7 times to enable developer mode).
Then back to settings, developer options and turn on usb debugging.

. I have original VZ driver installed. and i tried running as admin
Already tried this. On multiple computers. It's not a driver problem it has to do with something that happen after flashing to the leaked kitkat. I flashed beans kitkat and firmware through odin and since then wasnt able to connect to computer via usb. I read somewhere you could flash back to mje but not sure if i could do that without odin. I covered all the basics including enabling developer mode etc.... Kies doesn't work either and that was suppose to be bullet proof. I vaguely remember something similar happening when we got Root de la Vega some people lost usb after flashing and couldn't odin back but cant find that thread with what they did to fix it.

Do you mean through hidden menu or should there be an app on the phone? I didn't disable it i tried to enable it through hidden menu because it wasn't working but it just resets after rebooting the phone. Also there use to be a menu in storage under settings i could get to but it no longer exists. If you go into settings- storage- it should be a button in the top right corner of your screen which leads you into settings for mtp but it's not there.

I too am having this issue... it is quite frustrating. I rooted using towel root and that worked fine up until the beginning of September then USB was gone gone gone!. I was thinking of just doing a factory-restore of my phone, but I am not sure that is possible with having Towel rooted my phone. I just don't know what steps to take. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i am going to the local verizon store today and if they can not fix this, then i see no reason for me to continue to pay for my phone. there obviously is something wrong with all these phones that people are complaining about. i have been on the phone with verizon and samsung for HOURS. i now am a pro at knowing what's wrong but no one can help me. It does not stay in MTP mode or PTP and goes back to charging. this is a phone problem that should not even exsist. plug your phone in, upload pics. has anyone gotten verizon to replace the phone????that's my goal today
It takes two to tango; how do you know the problem is not the PC?
Older versions of stock software actually put the phone in Airplane Mode when you were using USB 3.0, and had an inactivity timer or something that would turn the USB link off after a while. That didn't happen if you were operating on a USB 2.0 link.
So, if your PC has any non-USB 3.0 ports (the connector will not be blue) you could try using a USB 2.0 port.
Sometimes intermittent behavior is caused by bad cabling or a damaged connector, so a second thing to try is using a replacement cable and/or alternate ports. (Don't buy bargain basement eBay $2 cables btw - you will get what you pay for)
good luck

Tap on the "Charging mode" notification when your USB is connected and you'll get a pop-up that let's you select MTP mode.
Alternatively you can go to Device Manager and look for any error icons (think they're yellow triangles - been a while since I used a PC). Right click and uninstall all the offending ones, the disconnect and reconnect your device via USB.

In a lot of MM roms, you have to go in to developer options and select MTP under 'MTP configuration' in there. Even if it's selected already, tap it again and it should pop up asking what to do when device is connected on the pc. $5 says that does the trick. Easy but surprisingly tough one. One other problem I'm running into lately with the new windows 10 is that it has driver signing enabled by default and often rejects the driver you install or just doesn't use it even if it's installed. So if the driver is the problem (or more accurately windows 10 is refusing to acknowledge the installed driver), you might need to disable driver signing enforcement. Here's a link how to do that: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

But this affects only the handling when booted into the OS. Twrp has its own handling... Perhaps you mean to enable USB debugging?
So you mean that when i enter TWRP, MTP auto-enabled? If yes, this is just fine.
