The sdcard is the built-in 16gb storage.
In the guide you will see external sdcard too, that's the optional card
which is a removable one.
so just to clarify i don't need a SDcard to root if im following the guide that's stickied?

Looks like you are not using the Samsung Unified USB driver.
Try this one, this is what I use.
Here is the Samsung Unified USB driver: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13196871580881
Be sure to uninstall kies if it's installed and uninstall any other samsung usb driver,
then reboot windows before installing the unified samsung drivers.
Good Luck!

Do you have the newest KIES installed? I think I read in another thread where someone else experienced this same problem and it finally got corrected when they installed the newest version on their PC.

No guarantees, but have you tried downloading the android sdk and choosing to install the usb drivers?

Did you install all the drivers that are on the cdfs partition when you plugged in the phone?

On this one i think i installed all them the issue here is that when i plug my phone it let me know that new hardware has been found then it starts with the installation some will install but i think there is one or two the just sit searching but nothing happens and then i try to closed out but it freezes up on me and when i turn off debugging then it closes out but if i try to install them with debugging off nothing comes up.
another thing i used my phone with acomputer runnig windows 7 and it worked so im guessing its a prblem with xp
I think pdanet has the drivers when you install it if you don't know how to manually add them.

I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me...
When you plug your phone in via a usb cable, you will see a Verizon Mobile drive pop up on under "My Computer"
If you open it, there is a folder in there called DRV. There is a file called something like WM_driver installer. I installed that.
Then I go to my phone chose to connect as a disk drive (I have mine set to charge only by default).
Then I click on my removable disk and I can see my phone's data then.

I have installed Samsung USB Drivers manually and also tried Kies to install the newest drivers, but my Samsung Galaxy S3 still isn't recognized by my computer. What can I do?
EDIT: It only works sometimes, so when I plug it out and in like 10 times, maybe I'm lucky and it will connect once.

I have the same problem. My VSGS3 works with my W8 laptop but not my W7 desktop (at all). The only thing I can assume that it would be is MTP issues with Truecrypt (my desktop is encrypted). I cannot get it to work at all.
take a look at this thread...

Really???? S3 Not Recognized?
Maybe I missed something in this thread but is this really the case??? The S3 cannot be recognized as a USB storage device by Windows? I accidentally left my SD card out and now have videos I need to transfer to PC, but cannot via email or any other means I can find. Anybody have a solution? I have installed the Samsung drivers but still not recognized . . . HELP!!!

No USB storage for GS3 internal memory.

You can use MTP mode to copy the files to the computer.
The device will appear with a phone-logo in 'My Computer'
Just plug Samsung USB cable into USB port on a PC with the Samsung USB drivers installed and cut and paste as many GB as you want .SD Phone or EXT SD card via Windows Explorer as normal .

This problem is quite depressing Has a restore fixed it for anyone?
I use mac OSX and after searching for a month or so, I couldnt find a solution to connect via USB. So now I use 'Air Droid' app from Play Store. Its pretty good and simple!! Plus, you can do alot more stuff like send or read SMS from PC.. Dont need to connect via USB anymore
I found that installing that rootkit installed the drivers to connect via USB - didnt root it just installed it for the drivers. THANKS!
I am having the same problem.
My Galaxy S3 charges when connected to computer via USB.
But is not detected in USB Debugging or regular mode.
Which windows version are u using. Try installing pdanet.exe on ur pc

You must know what windows you use, 32 bit or 64 bit? Download Kies through Samsung website, make sure got right software.

If you are using x64 Windows 7 this will EXE file can be found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver\SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
back this up and then you can remove KIES. This is all you need to have your phone connected without ever really needing KIES.
Or you can use the driver provided by the TOOLKIT that MSKIP has designed (thanks - love it).
Cheers,
try disabling usb debugging

nothing has worked for me. I have not tried the toolkit but I installed drivers from the TeamEpic's easy root as described by QBKing77 and those have not worked since I installed twrp
One more to this incredible situation :angel:
experienced the same on my win7 64 bit. I removed it on the faulty usb port to another one and then luckily the driver installation went fine. Weird but worked.

please help.
almost finished rooting my ATT HTC One.
windows 7 pc, TWRP, going off qbking youtube vids.
(i am exactly at the 7:30 mark of qbking77's youtube video "How to root HTC one"
i have sucessfully unlocked bootloader,
installed TWRP recovery, and able to pull up TWRP menu.
i first noticed (as i was trying to run a backup) that my "data" directory was gone.
so my phone basically is not seeing it's own "internal memory", but when i connect to my pc (usb)
my phone/driver installs just fine, i can see my HTC one directory and all contents....
everything is there, but it's just the phone isnt recognizing it's own internal storage (make sense?)
am i just in a wierd boot mode?
this is my first root....so hopefully i didnt mess something up too bad.
thanks for the help

Hi!
I broke the display of my GT-i9100.....(but the phone seems work...sometimes it vibrates)
And I was wondering if I could copy the files of the internal memory (sdcard) on my PC (Ubuntu)...
I tried to connect it via usb running ADB but is says "device offline" and I can't do anything....
I think the " usb debugging" on the phone is on...:good:
The phone is even rooted,,,I'm using CM 10.2 (Android 4.3 nightly)
Unfortunately the screen is all BLACK...(but i think the touchscreen still work)
How can I copy the sdcard??? Any idea??
[p.s. sorry for my bad english]

AFAIK, adb is the only way of retrieving your data. Or you could replace your screen.
Are you sure USB debugging was ON?

Ain't there no way to see the display of the phone on my PC? I mean, something that could make me see what happens on the phone...cuz I can't check if the USB debugging is on if I don't see where are the settings..
