Love my phone, but I can't get it to mount to my pc. Before the latest update I was able to use easy tether and access my sd card to transfer files. After the update neither the PC nor the phone do anything when plugged in, other than charge the phone. I've only found one computer that I can mount my phone to. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I've tried multiple USB cords and even HTC's support line. They seem to think Verizon's media manager is to blame, but I think it would happen with all of us if that were true.
BTW phone is completely stock.
I have the same issue.

Not Quite The Same
My computer doesn't recognize my phone at all. My DINC worked fine on every computer I tried it on, too bad I can't get used to the smaller screen and the 3G speeds again.
What does your computer say under device manager? Might have to update drivers, or delete them and reinstall them.

Just one entry has a problem, but my coworkers Samsung Captivate works in this PC. The other computer doesn't have any issues in Device Manager. When I try to update it the Hardware Update Wizard says that it could not find a better match for my hardware. I can't post the image yet, 8 more posts to go.

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the HTC drivers. You may also try a different USB port, if you haven't already.

Yeah I think it has to do with the Verizon bloat. My Dad's work computer won't see his phone but it sees mine just fine. We both have Rezounds, but mine obviously isn't stock like his.
Tempted to hard reset
I'm so fed up with this that I am tempted to let Verizon do a factory reset. Either it works or they'll send a refurbished phone and hopefully that will one will work. Either way one way or another its going to cost them man hours or phones. I'm fed up with the bloat and the problems it causes.
I'm posting from my Windows 7 i7 gaming rig. My Rezy is usb connected to my rig. I can navigate both my internal memory file system as well as my SD card file system from Win7.
My Rezy is locked and stock, btw. I love this phone.
Hi
Sorry if there has already been a post like this, my sgs3 seems to work well with usb otg with mem sticks and different input devices, but when i try to connect any External Hard Drive over 2tb, my phone freezes and crashes, any reasons why???
There might be an problem with the HDD not getting enough power or it might be a problem with the file system. But to be honest, the worst case should be the phone does not recognizing the HDD or telling you that it's corrupted. A crash is definitely out of the ordinary.
It is Externally powered so i doubt it it the power, but my usb powerd 100gig hdd works fine, but thanks for reply
how did you get a 100gig hard drive to work. i cant get my hdd to work with it. only the light comes on but the phone doesnt find anything
Use a Y-usb connector, 2 usb's in one end and a micro-usb on the other. Plug one usb in to usb charger that came with the phone, plug the other usb into tho otg addaptor, and finally the micro-usb into the hdd, and bang it should work.

i have the same problem. i have two different 1Tb drives (one western digital one Hitachi) both formatted as Fat32 and both make the phone crash and need a full reboot. maybe i need to try reformatting the drives.
i emailed samsung asking them exactly what formats/size/specs are required of a hard drive to be supported by an s3 via otg. obviously their reply was not very useful. they told me it doesnt work... which i already knew and had already told them in my email. I replied asking for more specifics but so far I have been ignored. I even offered to buy a samsung hard drive if they could tell me it would work.

I had the same issue with my WD 500gig 2.5 HDD. After some research you have to either 1) the HDD in Fat32 or exFAT or 2) when you are rooted use one of the apps that mount NTFS partitions (e.g. I am using Paragon NTFS&HFS+). At least that brought my HDD to live, before just got the empty flashdrive found, filesystem unknown message, but I also read in different other threats that people have issues with other HDDs.
Ok so I just upgraded yesterday from the HTC inspire and I must say I'm liking the S3. Except for one thing, no usb mass storage mode? Duuuwwwhhhaaaatttt??? This is awful...just awful.. I work night shifts and play minecraft a lot at work
D) and alwayed used my inspire for transfering the save data on my work computer to my personal desktop at home... I NEED this FIXED.!! I have the 16GB sd card I pulled out of my inspire shoved in the S3's ext-sd slot and would love to know how to use it as a usb mass storage like I did on my inspire.. I have tried the easy ums app and it doesn't work :/ so here I am, humbly asking for help from you geniuses...

Not sure if this is what you're asking but here goes...
I just started using the S3 as well, upgraded from an S2 T989 (T-mobile)
On the S2, when I connect to the USB port, I can "turn on" usb mass storage mode to connect to the PC and I'm not seeing that option here on the S3.
However, when I connect the phone to my PC, I get the following options:
- Media device (MTP): automatically checked
- Camera (PTP)
And when I check on "camera (PTP)", my PC would recognize the phone as SGH-T999. And when I click on it, I would have two options:
- Card (External SD)
- Phone (Internal SD)
From here, I can just copy and paste whatever from PC to SD card and vice versa.

Well let me start with this then..on my inspire, I could plug it up to any computer and it would show up as a disk drive and I could transfer baby file back and forth at my will.
Now that I have my S3, I've realised that they've done any with usb mass storage and adopted mtp. Which doesn't work for me. I get a message 'cannot copy "file name" the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.'
I can also connect through ptp and it will transfer most files, but not all. It will get to a certain point it gives me the good ole 'cannot copy "file name" the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.' message.
So overall, my question is simply this, is there a way to enable usb mass storage for the external sd card on my sgs3? Either by fixing easy ums to work for a 1747 or by installing another app that I don't know about.
Btw, my s3 is rooted, running stock Rom and stock kernel, stock everything. I've installed busybox as well.

Well add me to the list of: MTP sucks! This is pretty awful, I mean if there is a work-around fine, but we shouldn't HAVE TO work around just to get Mass Storage support.
As of now we are stuck with MPT.
Works ok though I guess, I can move files back and forth. You can also try using a wifi explorer if your on the same network.

Alrighty!! I've done some snooping around and found this!!!:
Here's a thread for the AT&T S3 on Mass Storage, requires some tinkering though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768752&highlight=mass+storage
So basically if you follow all the instructions, your 1747 will be able to mount its external sd card as a usb mass storage. Tried it myself!!! Amazing!!! Haha!!! Life is good once again...
In addition to the above steps, I also had to do something else. I'm running windows 7, but I don't see why it would be any different for any other windows, and after I installed gscript I had to go to device manager in windows, find your phone (should be under portable devices) and then right clicked and updated driver software. After that finished, the pc had to reboot. After reboot, I ran the scripts in gscript... Aaannnndddd... BAM.! MAGIC.!
I hope this helps those who are frustrated with their 1747 as well... this is a temp fix until a better one comes out... buuuuttt... cheers

I'm not using the I747 (I take it thats the T Mobile branded version), Im in fact using the SCH-I535, Verizon version. Due note that the phone does contain GSM radios so I am able to use it on T for voice (perfect!) and edge data (expected but better then nothing)...
I'm assuming SMS & MMS work as well, albeit untested.

Sgh-1747 is AT&T. T-mobile S3 is sgh-t999 I believe.. and the Verizon version has gsm radios as well as cdma.? That's badapple lol I wonder if that is the same for the 1747 but vice versa?

Also, i just ran into this problem... the fix i mentioned above worked on my work computer but now that im home and i tried it..it didnt work.. :/
BUT!! i figured out the problem. The difference between my work and home computer? Kies... idk if it was that progam itself or just the drivers that came along with it but regardless i uninstalled kies and all the drivers associated with it. After that i plugged in my phone, ran the "mount" script and voila. MAGIC ONCE AGAIN!
Just thought i would inform the masses on what ive done so far to fix this problem
There is another option....
Get yourself a little adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027YYMU6/
Then you can plug any USB drive directly into that.. then the adapter into the phone.
Your phone will see it as a normal USB Drive... you can then use any filemanager to transfer files from the phones SD to that USB drive... Unplug the USB, pop it into a computer and you're all set.
I'll admit it's a bit kludgy, but until storage mode becomes available, you can use this on OS's that won't work properly with the existing MTP.
NOTE: Might want to buy a FEW adapters... i bought 1, worked great.. friend bought 2 more.. neither worked.. same brand etc... I have 2 more on the way just in case..but for .79 plus free shipping no reason not to buy half a dozen hehe

Yea, that would work... but im more on the side of "my phone should do this" lol dont know why they completely removed usb mass storage... they shouldve at least made it optional in the settings or something, ya know? those little adapters would work but idk how id feel about having to carry around an adapter just so i can transfer files..
Heres a scenerio:
Say my friend calls me up and wants a file that i have on my computer, so i use that adapter and transfer it to my phone, go to his house only to realize i accidentally left the adapter stuck in my computer at home :/ thats a pain in the you know what lol
Just a thought haha

The WHY actually is documented around here somewhere... the short version is, with the way the OS is written, mounting the card as USB storage makes it unavailable to the system. Since most of the newer Androids OS use the SD card more heavily (such as A2SD type stuff) it would render applications 'broken' whenever the USB was plugged in.
That's the official story.. I'm not sure I buy it myself as I've seen apps that let you use the SD card on my original EVO AND have USB mode enabled just fine.. granted transfer rates sucked, and occassionally a file would get corrupted, but it worked 99% of the time. I don't know what 'tricks' those apps used to get it to work, but I don't see why Google couldn't use those same tricks directly in the OS.
Another option btw.. is Wifi Explorer Pro. If you're PC is on the same WiFi network, you can run the app then go to a webpage on your PC to upload/download files as needed. It's not as fast as a cable.. but it does work pretty well and is simple to use.
My P7500 originally came with Honeycomb and worked fine. I didn't know about the other ROMs at the time when the popup announced the ICS 4.0.4 was available. I received and installed the official ICS 4.0.4 via OTA. Stupid mistake!
Since then, I have not been able to access my Connection kit (for usb, memory stick and external SDcard), Connect via USB cable to my laptop (or any other pc), or connect to my tablet with Odin, Kies, or any other tools that work via USB. My other tablet and phone GT-I9001 and GT-P7300 both rooted and running perfectly, work fine with all the same features I am missing on my P7500, as well as connecting to my PC, ...
Currently, I get files back and forth using dropbox and email without any problem, which allows me to use the tablet as an everyday device. The problem is: I want to be able to root my device so that I can use titanium backups, ... and have the freedom that others here have in rooting their devices.
My questions:
- Is there any way to root my device without having access to Odin or Kies?
- Does anyone know how to enable the missing "features" that came after the ICS update?
This really sucks guys. I know its not n XDA problem, but I have no place else to turn.
All I want to do is root my device :\
Thanks in advance
SOLVED
This was a crazy one to solve but I finally figured it out. It's relevant to the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 and Galaxy tab 8.9 P7300 running ICS 4.0.4. I could not produce this problem in Honeycomb!
There are few things that you can try before this fix. If you want to skip to the end and just try to fix, go ahead as it won't break the bank.
So as in other threads here are a few things to try first (in no particular order).
1. Buy and replace the samsung cable with an original oem samsung usb cable. Just because your cable charges your tab, it doesn't mean all the pins are making contact all the way through for a data connection!
2. Using canned air, carefully blow out the port on the bottom of your galaxy tab to make sure there is no dust or trash preventing connections to the pins.
3. Make certain you have the correct Samsung usb driver's installed in your machine. To be certain, you can try with another Samsung galaxy device. Windows 7 or better will install the driver for you when you plug it in for the first time. If your computer doesn't make a "connected usb device" sound, you'll probably need to skip to the end. Even with the wrong or no driver's, windows will still announce a connected usb device, so pay attention.
4. Make sure the "usb debugging" mode is enabled in settings, although on all three of my test machines, it didn't matter.
5. Make sure "mtp" is checked in storage settings, although in all three of my test machines, it didn't matter.
6. Finally, the things which has made you crazy and brought you here. Samsung tells you to wips your device, people in forums have ignored you, accused you of being a noob, insulted you in unimaginable ways, but here you are, and you're not crazy. So I can't tell you why your tab doesn't connect, but I can tell you how it got that way. I can even repeat the steps that made it happen. You may have installed OTA ICS 4.0.4 update for your tab. Then upon restart, your tab no longer connected to your pc. it no longer recognized the usb sdcard reader, you couldn't get kies or odin to connect to it. You were f**ked!
Here is how I fixed it each time. I purchased the Samsung OEM desktop dock, plugged that into my win7 x64 laptop, then plugged the tab into the dock! My laptop immediately detected my undetectable tab, and my tab announced a usb connection with laptop. So freaking simple it makes me sick! Now the tab works with cable or dock.
The dock model number is Samsung EDD-D100BE Desktop dock
If you found this useful, please give me a thanks.
Theory what causes the problem. For some reason the hardware id gets corrupted inside the Tab itself. Introducing the dock, changes the hardware Id and the tab can communicate over usb again. I'll figure this out and post more details as I learn.
Thanks for reading

it's very important to make sure you have the original Samsung OEM cable. I had two additional (chinese made) cables which worked for my 7300, but refused to work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Moreover I had one cable which was the original Samsung cable but it didn't work also. I'm fairly certain that cable didn't work because of the abuse of traveling around the world for a couple of years . All of those cables appeared to function because they charged the tablets perfectly. For me this was an incorrect assumption. It is possible for the cable to charge the tablet but still give the inconsistent data rates because of loose wires, being pulled, bent connectors, ... We must also try to remember that for many of us the cable is a consumable item. That simply means it deteriorates, with use, overtime! So when I had the new Samsung OEM cable, had all the settings correct, with driver's installed, then dropped the tablet into the dock, my P7500 connected to my computer. If you've done all these things, blew out the connector with the cannefd air on the tablet, and you haven't skipped any points, or made any assumptions, it might very well be that your port on the tablet is broken.
I hope this helps.

My tab is softbreaked and its notre reconized by windows and Odin i ve try many cable but thé result was the same ,i ve tried with My friend s one and everything was OK. I ve bought a new USB charging dock and flex câble but thé result was the same ,i don t know what tout do now. Can i copy an deodexed ROM into My internal sd card throught otg USB with My twrp file manager since i can still access it and download mode? Please i need your help
Excuse My poor english.
My phone will not be recognized by a computer. It will charge but not open file structure to view or transfer files. Cord tested and works with other phones. Computer has drivers for phone. Also tested with other computers.
My phone does read my external SD card from my phone case (since s6 edge does not have a SD card slot) through the same charge/usb port and transfer files back and forth. But it doesn't recognize my computer? Very odd it will treat the SD card like I need it to but not my computer. Really need to fix this since I flash different ROMs to test and any brick would be bad if not able to ODIN with a PC.
Check the Developer Options. Maybe the USB mode is set to "Charge Only"...
To be honest if this is giving you issues then I would not be testing roms as you clearly have no trouble shooting skills yet. This will be an issue with your pc. Track it down and you may find that the drivers you are using need to be be repaired or you are using windows 10.

Thanks for the response. It is set for MTP. Though it doesn't show this after I select the option. Not sure if that is a bug in itself or signs of an issue. But it has been a persistent thing through about 4 seperate ROMs now.

Thanks for the response but I am looking for help here. Not semi rude opinions and advice.
Perhaps reading helps in your case. I stated I have tested on multiple computers. As well as different cords. Which is why this is so odd or confusing to me since it will read and interact with an external SD the same way I need it to my PC. Maybe this is a different protocol used or something I am not sure. Hence my post. I am just trying to rule out something software/root/bug possible virus/hijacking related before attempting any hardware replacement parts.
Its been tested on a windows 10 computer and 2 with Windows 7. Which other Samsung phones have/do work on when plugged in.
