So I just got a ASUS ux31, i plugged my i777 in and the install process went poorly (as you can deduce from the title). Whenever I plug in my device to this laptop it begins to charge, but gave me no option to connect data via usb (as it does on the android device when you plug it into a PC with proper drivers).
So after some reboots etc, I tried installing the driver from the thread in XDA relating to the drivers for this device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24852060&postcount=154
After installing, i rebooted, still no connectivity options on my device once connected via usb.
Checked the device manager for USB device drivers already in existance to delete/reinstall, no dice. Nothing listed is samsung related.
I'm pretty lost, at this point I plug in, the device charges, but no option to connect or do anything else.
Another pertinent detail I suppose would be that I'm running the unnamed ROM.
I'm totally stumped....
Check your program manager (Control Panel -> Uninstall a program on Windows 7) for "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" application. If it's there, uninstall, reboot computer, then try reinstalling and rebooting computer again. Also make sure USB debugging isn't enabled on your phone under Settings -> Developer options.
If these things don't work they'll at least let us rule out any user error. No offense
EDIT: One more thing, make sure you have uninstalled any version of Kies, Kies Mini, etc. you may have previously installed, before you reboot and reinstall the drivers.
Ha no offense taken from the user error comment at all, I have a software/hardware engineering degree but there is always new stuff to learn.
I did have the debugging enabled (i dev in my free time) but it never effected connecting. So . . .
unplugged all connections
disabled debugging
uninstalled driver
rebooted
reinstalled driver
connected device via USB
still just charging
I had an idea though... this UX31 does have a feature called sleep-n-charge(allows laptop to be closed and still charge usb devices plugged into it). I did a clean windows7 install to dismiss the bloatware, but i DID reinstall this sleep-n-charge feature. I'm about to try removing this and see how it handles the i777 after that...
any other thoughts?
EDIT: No kies has ever been on this pc. HATE KIES. LOL
Google this...Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.4.8.0 I also have an ASUS. This worked for me. Hope this takes care of your problems.
I honestly couldnt find a download for that driver anywhere. all the uploads were removed due to policy breaches or something. are you working with the ultrabook line? because most of the hardware is rather different than other models.
I did see a realtek USB driver, which i thought might have been causing some kind of issue ( no clue if it was even the 'driver' for this usb port... i doubt it ). Anyway I removed it, rebooted, installed latest samsung driver (v1.5.4.0), rebooted. NOTHING. Still just sits and charges...
Completely lost. This is killing me because something i did is KILLING my battery life, i need to charge it constantly all day and I really wanted to go to CM9 ngihtlies.
I guess i shuld just bluetooth xfer the files... but i'm pretty butt hurt that i cant use a usb...
I happen to have it, but it's too big to upload to my post, ~22 mb. PM me with an e-mail?
just to follow up something is wrong with my ROM. not sure what happened.
thak you for all your help though =)

Please take the time to read this:I flashed and installed SkyRaider a couple days ago and I noticed when I connected to my PC that my PC started recognizing it as HTC Phone (or something of the like). This apparently really screwed up my drivers on my computer because I installed iKReaM and now I can't even get into disk drive mode...it doesn't ask what connection type I want anymore and my computer just says "USB Device Not Recognized". I tried uninstalling the HTC Driver Installer but that didn't do anything either. This is not good as I ran into the same problem when trying to root my friends Samsung Fascinate and never go the problem fixed. Anyways...my phone worked perfect before and SkyRaider evidently messed it up pretty good...to say I am pissed is an understatement. If you need any more info please let me know.
Please link me to the newest HTC Drivers as well, it would be much appreciated.
If no one can help I will have to do a clean install of windows 7, which is not an enjoyable experience

You will have to buy the pro version to push files. That would be your easy solution.
You can always use recovery to get into usb mode as well.

I can't get into recovery anymore using usb mode, computer doesn't recognize the device so no way to use it...and I would use the Wifi app instead of using a usb cable? I see what you mean by easy but I don't wanna avoid the problem...I have a brand new $1600 Alienware so I would like to have it fixed lol...if need be I may just have to do a clean install
I know this isn't your actual problem but just for the record, AirDroid lets you control your phone and push files to it with a web browser and wifi for free.
(I tried linking it but I guess I haven't made enough posts to include links yet, easy to find by searching the Market tho)
You might check under Settings/ Connect to PC to make sure the Ask Me option is turned on.

When you plug your phone into your computer does the phone start to charge?
If so restart the computer and plug the phone into a different usb port. Check device manager and see if you have it listed in your usb devices, or you have an ! over a usb. Most of the time this ends up being an issue with the computer it is being hooked to, not the phone. The computer isn't launching the driver correctly to show the phone that it is connected to a computer, and not just a wall outlet.
Even when I've had this issue, which is random I have still been able to use recovery usb to manage it. Make sure when your in recovery you mount the sdcard before enabling the usb.
I bought my P7510 not too long ago, which already was at HC 3.2. Kies will not recognize this tablet [stock HC 3.2, USB Debugging off] over USB, but does it over Kies-WiFi. I installed the latest version of Kies, and the USB connection starts up in MTP mode, but the Kies device-recognize-spinner keeps on spinning, and will not resolve the 'unknown' device.
The host-system (Win Vista X64) does recognize the tablet fine.
As HC 3.2 no longer supports the USB Kies (= USB data) mode, I would like to know what could be done to fix this, as Kies does not support Firmware update over Wifi-Kies.
I have been able to run the Wifi native update (got 3.2.1 like that), but I would like to be able to get Kies running over USB.
New Version of KIES is available
Been having exactly the same problems with my (never rooted) new in January GT-P7510 since the last firmware/KIES2 upgrade. Have tried all the fixes in XDA and other forums - wasted hours to no effect. Ended up with 15 device entries for 7510 in my Windows 7 (64) Autoplay list.
Try dowloading the latest KIES_2.2.0.12014_18_8.exe released 8 Mar 2012 from Samsung support. First uninstall both the SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones and then Samsung Kies using Control Panel/Programs & Features before you run the new KIES installer.
When KIES finishes installing itself and the USB drivers, fire it up and you'll get KIESPDLR.exe wanting to make changes. If you allow this you'll see the message "There are new components for SAMSUNG KIES.... updates for firmware management ... do you want to upgrade now?" - cancel this as it will not change anything and other posters have said it causes the connection problem.
You're ready to plug in the Tab USB cable now - don't get too excited though there are problems coming. Plug in the 7510 USB cable - preferably in a motherboard USB socket, rather than a hub-based USB socket. The usual storm of device driver installation follows - the first of which always seems to fail - "SAMSUNG USB Mobile Device driver instal failed". Leave KIES to do its thing and you'll get the same error as previously "Cannot start service on this device. Disconnect and reconnect...". Do this and the same thing happens, but this time no new drivers are installed. Stay in KIES and disconnect the 7510 and run the KIES troublshooter under Options - this reinstalls the USB drivers and which manages to get the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device installed OK this time (and adds yet another 7510 device to your Autoplay list as a bonus...). Reconnect the 7510 and you'll be no further forward - same connection problem followed by error and request to restart the PC. Leave the 7510 connected to your PC and restart the PC.
On restart you should arrive at your usual desktop with no new deice driver installation. Go into Control Panel/Devices & Printers and you'll see a GT-P710 device with an exclamation against it - "Device cannot start - Code 10" error. Click on the "Troubleshooting" option and it will offer to reinstall a driver so let it apply this fix. It will fail on the SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device installation however. Now unplug the 7510 and plug it back in again. Yet another attempt to install a device driver follows - this time successful so you should see "GT-P7510 installed - ready to use". Followed by the Windows Autoplay box popping up - just close it as soon as you see it. You'll also see the KIESPLDR requests popping up requesting changes to this computer. Cancel these as before.
Now it gets silly - with the 7510 plugged in (KIES hasn't fired itself up) go into Tab Settings, Wireless and connect via Wi-fi - confirm permission on the PC and KIES will start up - and amazingly - connects via USB! From now on you should be able to disconnect and reconnect the 7510 and get a more or less immediate USB connection.
I apologise for the sheer length of this post, but it's a consequence of SAMSUNG's total ineptitude at writing driver installation scripts - who knows what works, or where or why? Any chance of some decent logging/diagnostics options for your cr*ppy KIES connection process Mr Samsung??
Rant over.
And out.
Good luck!

Seems not using KEIS at all, the answer most give, is a lot easier. Feel free to explain why using it and going through ask this hassle is better though.

Is it worth it? ...hell maybe!
You're right Benzoman - apart from firmware check & update, you don't need KIES at all for straight sync'ing/backup etc, Windows MTP does that just as well directly.
Still, Samsung will be pushing out a lot of firmware/OS updates over the next year. Who knows they might even get KIES and drivers into shape, so I'm sticking with it just now even if it is a b*lls-ache. Anything's better than fruityTunes!
Alas, no

I never had any problems with the installation of the drivers, but followed your (slightly convoluted) method to the letter. In the final part, where USB connection is combined with Wifi-Kies it still takes the Wifi as basis [not USB even both are connected], i.e. no firmware update possible, which was the (only) reason for using Kies. I do not use the SGT for contacts and the such, I have other devices for that... So sadly, this did not work for me.
I will try and try again. And if I ever find a working solution, I will put it here for all to see.

I tried many things suggested here and on other forums on my GT-P7510 (Wi-Fi only). One suggestion made that was claimed to work was a factory reset of the Tablet itself. I connected via USB to my Windows 7 laptop and copied all folders from the Tablet to an external USB hard disk as a backup, then did the factory reset on the Tablet (under Settings - Privacy). After that Samsung Kies could connect via USB.
This means that something on the Tablet itself needs to change to re-enable USB connectivity to the latest version of Kies. (I had been able to connect in the past using the same hardware but on Android 3.1 on the Tablet and on an earlier version of Kies).
The only real benefit I could see from using Kies is if Samsung releases Android 4.0 ICS via Kies before or instead of sending it via Wi-Fi. I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2 via Wi-Fi.
Latest 10.1 ICS Upgrade fixes KIES USB connect - at last!
Just received 276MB ICS upgrade via wi-fi connection (no Kies involved).
Seems the connection problem via USB is now fixed.
Plug in the upgraded 10.1 via USB to PC - will install new device drivers
then it connects via USB with no problems whatsoever.
Hope it fixes yours too.
Good luck.

I agree with you. For the last 2 days I have tried everything. But the thing that worked the first time was factory reset. worked on the very first try.
as of today, jan 6, 2014, nothing works to update my tab through kies or ota.
i followed your instructions to a "t" and there were some differences, which may be why it did not work. the kies version is now different, upon a restart of my windows pc, a program called mecleanup.exe wanted to execute (forget if this is the exact name, but i looked it up, it is a samsung install cleanup program). none of this worked. i tried disabling my antivirus.
i have spent days searching and trying everything i could find, but my p7510 will not connect to my win 7 64 bit pc through kies (but it will connect with kies air wirelessly - no good for updates) and my tab will not update over ota either. i want to update it, root it and maybe flash a good rom asap, i have waited to long!
does anyone have any info, suggestions, solutions? any help will be greatly appreciated.
the tab was purchased about 18 months ago at bestbuy, and i have never rooted it or updated it, i was waiting for a big update -ics. it has android 3.1 now. i also noticed that there is no imei number on it or in it (software) - is this normal? i have not had these problems with my captivate, or rooted galaxy note. (cappy just updated ota to gingerbread 2.3.5) i have not yet tried anythig with my 7 inch tab yet (it's sprint, but i use it wireless only, with flight mode on).
i tried different usb ports, taking everything out of all my usb ports and only connect the tab, reinstall, everything i can think of. my only recourse is a master reset, and i don't know if that is going to work, there seems to be something missing from my tab. ota does nothing, i am signed into my samsung account and my google account. it was having trouble updating apps from the market--or rather with the list of apps that needed updating, it was saying some apps were not installed when they were. the samsung support site is just usless.
thanks for your help...

What do you really need Kies for @OP??? Why dont you just plug it in and allow the PC to see it as a USB device.
Nothing works at all, even when I “just plug it in"! Driveres fail to load or load and do not work. I tried loading older drivers with internet turned off. That was a no go. It lets me see there is a drive on my pc, but will not allow me to see what is on the drive.
Kies air works but does not allow me to move or copy most files to my pc (photos copy but no music and no documents and certainly no apks or any kind of executable)! ). I was thinking of emailing stuff to myself but the main problem is updating my tablet.
I spent one whole useless hour on chat with samsung tech who told me everything I knew and tried already. I explained to him from the start about everything I tried so far, but he still went on to direct me to the samsung support pages with the stuffthat did not work. I should post the transcript of the conversation for sh★ts and giggles.
I just want to be able to update it and root it. Nothing has worked. Why does it not have a removable sd card? Also, now nothing works for my gnote and 7 inch tab. My captivate is just fine with kies mini, so far (knock knock knock on wood).. I remember my p7510 (i think it was that one and not my smaller tab) doing an ota update without my knowledge, and I was mad because everything got changed in some way.
I don't want to master reset till I back it all up. I really wanted to avoid the reset, this should not be happenning, a point in apple's favor here (and I am not an apple fan, i go with android all the way). Samsung needs to take there devs and let them meet to real tab owners/users.
Here is a question − can I email myself an executable/zip file (I know there are size limits) and run it right from gmail on my tab?
sent from my rooted i717 w/stock ics....and i love it!
Here's what I did that works (tablet was running 3.2) stock, PC is win7x64:
1. Disconnect tablet.
2. On PC, uninstall Kies & Samsung USB driver from Programs & Features.
3. On tablet, disable USB Debugging.
4. Download and install latest Kies (was 2.5.2.13021_10 for me).
5. Launch kies, it will not detect anything.
6. Plug in tablet and let drivers etc. install, wait for a prompt from kies saying 'this device is not supported by this version of kies (or similar)'.
7. Press OK.
8. Quit kies and restart it, now it works.
Do the firmware upgrade, and get outta there, that software is some of the worst there is... good luck.
Ok so I was previously running Hydr0g3n ICS ROM an older version and I had mount problems where only internal sd would mount, but it mounted at least. Occasionally I'd have to reboot my laptop because of no detection but that'd fix it.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I installed Resurrection Remix 04/05 but got really weird issues when connecting to my laptop e.g. installing device drivers, failing, usb sounds coming and going, device being recognised then disappearing again. Eventually no response. I reflashed, fully wiped, everything, experimented with drivers. Then plugged it into a mates (newer) laptop and it worked?
Back to mine, didn't work, installed Hydr0g3n ICS 05/05 which ran a lot smoother but still same issues, I repeated the steps above and even after device drivers actually successfully installed, it'd work and then next day no response or detection when plugging in USB. Since then I've gone through the drivers route again, trying all sorts of windows fixes, it still works fine when plugged into a newer laptop.
So after all my research etc I've realised that it seems to be some sort of power issue with the phone/ROM, perhaps the newer laptops have more USB hubs which aren't shared between many devices and so it works but mine is very intermittent if not non-existent. Oh, all other USB devices work, flash drives, external hard drives, I have never had any issues with any USB devices. Just this.
Also, I've tried toggling USB Debugging, and MTP UMS PTP, nothing. Read something about fast charge but have no notification that it's enabled on boot and no option to disable it in Kernel tweaks since I'm not on a supported kernel.
Hydr0g3n ICS ROM 2012 05 05 SGS2
3.0.29 Siyah v3.1.2
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I ordered a powered USB hub off eBay, it arrived today and did not work with the phone.
UPDATE 2:
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
Bump?

just try 2 flash the latest siyah kernel and check
On Windows 7, after several USB connect-disconnect, I would experience Windows not responding to connection any more on that very USB port.
I usually have adb server running in background, so "Safely remove" feature is blocked, and I would simply remove after file operations are over.
I made a .bat file on desktop, that simply performs "adb kill-server", so that I can safely remove it, and have not experienced this problem since then.

I've tried all of the kernels, Siyah, Thoravukk, NEAK, and multiple versions of Siyah too, including the latest one.
Also my powered USB hub arrived today and it did not remedy the issue.

Could you perhaps explain this a little more to me?
I plug it in and literally it charges but absolutely nothing else happens. Anything else works in the same port, just not the phone for some reason.
USB problems basics .
USB port should be mainboard port .
Usb Port on phone multiple USB problem posts say clean port .

1) Yes they are all mainboard ports - No response.
2) Have cleaned USB ports on mainboard many times. This seems irrelevant too since all other devices are recognized.
3) Have also experimented with combinations of this. (All combinations) Nothing.
4) I have only tried the Samsung cable since it's all I have, and it works on all of my friends laptops.
Also, I plug it in, and it draws power (aka it charges) but nothing else. Not even a windows 'bong'. Even with the powered USB hub, it still only charges.
However the minute I plug it into a friends laptop it seems to work just fine.
@ op
goto device manager and uninstall the android devices you see there with the option "delete device drivers completely" and make a reboot.
now install the usb drivers and plug in the device.

This last point tells me there are possibly some registry settings on your computer that are keeping the drivers from loading properly.
I've never had to do this, so I don't know what to look for EXACTLY, but you may need to get a registry cleaner and try to eradicate all traces of Kies and Samsung drivers from your computer, then re-install either Kies (to get the drivers) or the stand-alone USB drivers.
I remember reading another post some time back about some other guy who actually totally re-installed Windows... which is a bit like using explosives to kill a mosquito, if you ask me.
However, try bala_gamer's suggestion first. That may be all that is needed.

NO its the phone USB port .
Agree that if all fails try reinstall of Kies and drivers after a delete .
Delete registry kies .

So believe it or not I didn't actually go into detail in the op! But a few more things to note are that the device does not show up in device manager at all. Even with shadow device detection enabled. I have used all manner of driver software available to clear out all old usb drivers/any drivers which may be conflicting etc. I have also removed and reinstalled the usb host controllers and root hubs many times

Yes, indeed I also believed it to be some sort of registry problem, I have also used tune up utlities, registry mechanic and ccleaner (I think thats all there was!) and run registry scans/cleans/fixes/defrags. To no avail. I was actually considering reinstalling windows or something.

Yes, my bad, I have also cleaned that too. Also I didn't think it could be that since it seems to work on everyone elses laptop.
Just deleted those registry entries, rebooted. Nothing. Deleted a few more from old software which seemed to still be floating around, rebooted. Nothing.

I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs
I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs and then I installed MIUI and it worked again, I guess you can try any other ROM (not AOKP) and check if it solves your problem.
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
People!, I'm about to pull all my hair out on this one
Vibrant is soft bricked in a boot loop after a incomplete flash, I am able to get it into download mode but both my windows machines say USB device isnot recognized, and thus, I cant use ODIN to return to stock. When I try to manually point windows to the samsung drivers I get nothing…
So far I have tried drivers from:
-Bay_wolf's AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5
-USB drivers for vibrant from samsung support site
-Drivers from samsung keyes
Side notes that might help: I was perviously using a Hellybean Rom. My device displays "Galaxy S gt-9000" on boot... not sure when that came to be but maybe some rom changed some important recognition stuff??...
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008383 but no help...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Try a different USB cable. This happens more than you'd think. Even cables that have worked just fine hundreds of times.
Also.... Locate the drivers in system/device manager and delete them manually and try to install them again. Unplug device and install fresh ones from either aio toolbox or Kies, then plug phone back in.
Best of luck!

Thanks a ton for reply but, sadly, no dice.
Tried connecting the phone, getting the "unrecognized device" prompt, finding "unknown device" in device manager, right clicking to uninstall. rebooting my machine, using various install methods to re-install drivers, re-connecting, and nothing.. same issue...
I lost the original cable a while back, but can't accept that NONE of the other 5 cables used are all broke... specially if the computer recognizes something going on... is it worth buying a new one?
Losing hope here, been like this for 4 days now, think it's time to go get a new phone. :crying:
Even so, it would have been nice to get what was a perfectly working phone back if only to keep it as a mp3 payer.
If anybody in New York, NY has a working odin set up that can do this for me, I have a 6 pack of your favorite beer with your name on it.
It could be a hardbrick such as bootloader getting corrupted that happened to my Sony Xperia Play (now an expensive paper weight).
I assume you boot into download mode by holding the two volume buttons, then connect the cable? Have you tried on a different PC? It can also be the weak powered USB port on the PC. Also when you uninstall the Samsung driver, check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers. Also which version of the driver are you using, have you tried version Samsung USB Driver 1.5.3? And the drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T959ZKATMB#
For what its worth, the gt i9000 screen appears after your on a custom GB boot loader and Odin back to stock (or probably Odin flashing any other ROM) you can change it by flashing the GB boot loader again. My phone says its a i9000 too, but I'm just about lazy enough to not bother changing it, lol.
So that's unrelated.

Ok, faith momentarily restored. But I have questions:
-What do you mean when you say "check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers"? I dont get such a prompt from right clicking on "unknown device" and selecting uninstall? Is there another method to uninstalling drivers?
-In the link attached, I can only find "Device(Install),USB Driver (Software) (ver.1.0)" not the 1.5.3 version mentioned. What am i doing wrong here? currently searching google for the 1.5.3 but finding nothing.
I get into download mode by holding volume- up + power. Have 2 PCs ( win xp and win 7) and a mac running mountain lion (but never ever have been able to get Heimdall to work, so devoting time to odin.)
Thank you for the time + help, guys, I really do appreciate it in the time of utter un-nerdness.
If the device is already installed it will have a check box that said "Delete the driver software for this device." If its unknown then obviously not. By "uninstall any driver", I mean uninstall any Android drivers you current have installed and reboot before you reinstall the new driver.
Although I doubt it will make a difference than the one I linked above, you can try the Samsung driver version 1.5.3: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0uc3h413qcy80z
If you did manage to get into download mode and see this: http://images.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=download+mode
Then it mean there is a very good chance you can restore the phone, if you can find a computer to recognize it and Odin to see a COM port.
I definitely think it would be worth the money to go buy an OEM USB cord. I can't tell you how many times I have seen this and a new USB is the fix.

OK guys...
My friend, who also owns a Vibrant, let me borrow the cable that came with the phone for the last 2 days.
Tried to make ODIN work on both PCs at home, gave Heimdall a shot on my mac, even hijacked a computer at work for the better part of the morning and freshly installed USB drivers 1.5.3 before connecting. All for nothing... “Unknown device” across the board....
At first I felt that with being able to get into download and have SOME kind of a reaction from connecting to PC had to be a good sign. Almost completely convinced that there is some unknown, unworkable hardware problem present. Definitely, officially, unremarkably out of ideas here.
Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.
Last thoughts? Options at this point?
Also, tried One-click Unbrick tool on mac. I got a "is your phone plugged in, is it on download mode?" error, but anyone reading this down the line with a similar problem should check it out.

Ok, so I found a few older threads on this, but no tips in them seem to work in my case. I can't seem to get my S4 to see the PC/USB connection and prompt to select Media Device or the like. The USB icon never even appears in the notification bar. The PC recognizes connection (USB tone sounds) and shows device ready to use, but phone never gives the option. Doesn't seem to matter if USB Debugging is checked or not, or anything else that I can find so far. Here's the things I can generally eliminate:
2 different USB cables worked on wife's S4 on two different PCs. Neither cable or PC worked with my S4
Tried reinstalling Samsung USB drivers just to be sure
Cold booted phone
Tried unchecking and re-checking USB debugging (also tried with it unchecked)
So when we take in working fine on wife's S4, I'd generally guess that we can eliminate cable and PC from the potential problem list. Phone is currently on stock rom, but rooted. Outside of that and freezing VZ Support, Knox, and VZ Tones, no other modifications to the OS. At this point, I'm pretty stumped. Any suggestions on other steps to try?
The problem is your USB settings in the hidden dialers. Look for tutorials on how to enable them, and once found, type *#0808#, and a list of usb otions will come up. Pick any with MTP and they'll work again.
Worked perfect. Thanks muchly!

Not to threadjack, but...
On a related issue, win update tried to update my samsung ADP, etc drivers and failed. Ever since, I cannot connect to the PC. The PC doesn't even notice that the phone is connected. I tried the above fix to no avail (it is set to MTP) I uninstalled and reinstalled kies, tried troubleshooting the usb connection, ect...
Please help.

Try installing/reinstalling Kies, it comes bundled with all the samsung drivers you'll need
Tried that. Twice. To no avail.
But it is no longer a problem. I installed eclipse rom and it now works again.
Who knows what went wrong...
And now it's not working again. Reinstalled (dirty) the ROM without any change. Thoughts?
