Hello everyone
well... first of all i am not new to android , i have tried all the tricks in the book to get my galaxy s 3 connected to my pc , in mass storage mode.. but all my efforts have resulted in failures . i can use the usb teetering but surprisingly i can not get it to mass storage mode..
1)i have installed the required drivers
2)i have also installed kies ( it keeps saying connecting forever)
3) i wipe the cache in recovery and tried but still no luck
4) rebooted the pc many times but no use
5)the usb debugging is unticked
next i m going to root my device and then use a 3rd party sd mount app, but is there any other option you people could suggest me to try ???
Turn off USB Debugging .
Turn off phone .
Install latest Kies .
Reboot computer .
Power on phone and connect using Samsung USB cable to a main board USB port ..
Let windows find the USB drivers .
Then start KIES .
Other choice is to remove all USB drivers from the port you are using .

from everything i have read so far about the phone the S3 doesnt support usb mass storage mode out of the box. but there is an app that you can download from the themes and app section that will let you connect your phone to the pc in mass storage mode.

thanks for your reply friend,
but after researching a lot i found a few solutions...
here is one
install kies, and after installing kies also install this exe (Microsoft_User-Mode_Driver_Framework_Install-v1.0-WinXP)
this solution helped many people connect their devices.. but i still couldnt connect it
then finally i had to use my friends laptop with win 7 .. and it was connected
I am guessing you run quite an old version of XP... on my friends pc, the phone was recognised but I couldn't transfer files,
Mpf mode isn't supported on old xp versions, you gotta get yourself the driver

No thats just incorrect user settings .
Remove cable go to settings Applications Turn on USB debugging .
And?or turn usb mass storage mode on via settings Wireless and network USB settings then connect cable .

Yup, I did. I removed cables and turned on USB debugging, and tried the mass storage mode, upon connecting it says cable connected and to remove.
I'm getting this problem once I'm in Download mode. It's worked before... why would it stop?
Any tips?
I have the same problem
I seem to have the same problem I connect my phone via USB and get a USB Device Not Recognized message but MTP application opens on the phone. This has only just happened I have had it working before since I had the phone on 2 computers and have tried to different cables now it does not work on either computer. If any one has had any luck I would love to know how you fixed it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 - USB Device not recognized.
Hey Guys,
I have the same problem. I've even tried going into "Recovery" Mode and then running odin.. Still no luck. It just does not recognize the phone.
I tried a different cable but still no luck.
Guys,
i had had the same problem until i started to use the original USB cable(came with the phone).
Have a good luck!
Kirby
Got the same usb problem, different pc's, driver, cables nothing works.
After three month of use no Kies Odin ore mass storage us....big problem
any news info on this? seems to be quite common, though I only get it with stock roms, custom roms dont seem to have this issue
Cables Guy; I'm trying to figure out if I'm having the same problem as you. Does your phone charge when plugged in? Because mine does not.
i think in your case it might be the usb port in the phone itself, if nothing that you plug works well.
I believe there is an issue with kies/MTP and windows drivers for the rest though.
For me my phone doesnt get detected o nmy onboard USB but it does on the usb3 pccard i have.
any good news to solve this problems?
i got the same problem and worst case is my phone cannot detect sim
I had the same problem.. I just switched back to the original cable that came with the phone & problem was solved..

whats your phone kernel? and are u able to connect to pc as usb storage? or did u flash anything weird before?
Hi,
I have a 9100 that I try to make windows 7 x64 detect. I tried with the drivers and even with kies but the phone is simply not detected as if it was not connected with the usb cable. I played with debug on/off, and mount button but nothing worked.
I can charge the battery with the usb cable but cant xfer files, its only charging the pone, nothing else.
Any idea of what could be the problem ?
Install usb drivers via kies.

Hi,
I already done that, still no detection, its not even telling unknown device.
Just as any other windows hardware reboot phone reboot PC .
Boot phone set to USB mode in settings connect cable wait for windows to install drivers .
KIES tools Install driver .
That fails read all the other exact same posts for a solution .
jje
It was the usb cable the problem. I changed it, now its working, thx for the help.
Hi, I have big problem with my phone. First, it is not problem with MTP driver! My computer dont recognize connected phone. When I connect phone to PC, phone start recharging and Initializing MTP, but PC doesnt do *TDN* sound. When I connect flash disk trough USB OTG to my phone - it work. Other Samsung connect to my PC works good. I can't connect phone in "USB mass storage" - doesn't work. So I think, it is software problem in phone.
I tried:
Instaling a lot of roms (only in CWM recovery), pull up battery for a few minutes, format memories, restore my efs file ( I had copy efs file), manualy instal kernel, tried USB debugging ON/OFF, instal manualy MTP driver, uninstal/instal kies
Sorry for my english, isn't good
Reads like you do not have Kies installed and no USB drivers for the phone .
If that does not work clean USB port only connect to a mainboard USB port .
Fails = service centre .
Restore to stock first and reset custom rom counter or it will be no longer under warranty .
jje
try with other pc to make sure is your phone problem..
or try samsung kies air if you using a laptop..
i install kies and get all the driver to enable me connect usb storage
First of all you MUST have samsung Kies just for the drivers of your phone.
Try install kies...

I'd question that this is a "direct" link. I've tried clicking just about every link on the page and all I can get it to download is some other bloatware/adware. There doesn't seem to be a working link to the Samsung USB driver on this page

Galaxy S3 not being recognized in odin in download mode
Could someone please assist.
My rooted Galaxy S3 phone (FW v4.1.2) is stuck at the Samsung startup screen after installing a font app from the app store
To resolve I have tried:
1. The recovery screen - doing a factory reset and reboot
2.. Reflash through ODIN.
I can get get the phone into download mode but ODIN will not recognize the phone in Download mode (Funny that phone is recognised by Odin at the stuck Samsung boot screen)
- I have unistalled and reinstalled KIES and USB drivers
- I am using the stock USB cable
- Tried different USB ports on computer
- Tried on different computers
The problem may be Windows driver related. Because phone gets stuck at the Samsung startup screen, all processes of driver installation do not conclude successful. "MTP USB Device" shows error in Windows Device manager, USB composite deivce.
Uninstalled and reinstalled these a couple of times without success.
Please assist
Issues with usb on s3
Actually fixed my own Question....
My phone was in download mode and was not being recognized by my computer my windows 7 computer. I pressed the usb icon, where a box popped up saying that there was an unknown device. You could find this in device manager.
I then went to device manager to update the driver instead of pointing the device directly to the driver when i clicked browse my computer for software then it shows a location and option to let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a box pops up showing model above that there is a little check box uncheck that two boxes will appear with manufacturer and model
Scroll samsung electronics and model samsung mobile composite device that is what you want to update the driver to...
I pulled the battery then re-entered download mode and windows to over installing the rest now it works fine. I would attach images but it will not let me for some reason. if anyone can help with that I will do it later.
THIS COULD POSSIBLY help with devices not being found on computers in bootloader or just on rom loaded and running..

Hey guys, i know it's a bit late now, but i had exactly the same problem with my gt-i9300 (got stuck on samsung splash screen and odin didn't recognize it in download mode) and just realised that everytime, i connected my phone to my PC in download mode, a message would appear that "Gadget Device" (or something like that) was connected. Then i searched in my device manager for the name of it (i found it under USB-Devices) and uninstalled the driver of it. As i connected it again with odin started it would install the driver automatically and *swoosh* odin recognized it.
A year and some later after the last post and I seem to be having this problem as well... I believe it was due to a bad flash at very low battery level which ended up in encryption failure ya da da, factory reset, clear/format everything and flash custom rom from SD because any other connection would not work.... then managed to get windows (many flavors inc. 7, 8 and 10) to connect as MTP or in USB debugging mode but Odin mode (download) just won't do anything... i put the phone in DL mode, nothing happens, no windows connection sounds, no changes in devices manager, even when searching for new hardware. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has had anything like that. I'd really like to flash stock to go back to a custom rom, flash twrp to replace cwm but all seems to no avail if i can't get a connection while in DL mode.
tried to install adb fastboot but also nada since no connection is being made.... might be something with DL mode gone awry with the bad flash... long story but OTA update from current ROM decided on its own to push update even though battery was at 5% and no user interaction ever happened...
we'll see what happens...

Driver issue. Find the correct drivers.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Hi all
I'm trying to root my UK-purchased i9300 using the cf-root guide here: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/403624/20121110/root-galaxy-s3-i9300-cfroot-official-jellybean.htm
My phone is running the OTA 4.1.1 which came down recently
I have installed the Samsung USB drivers from the above URL, which comes up as "Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.3.850.0".
When I hook the phone up with USB debugging mode enabled, Windows 7 picks it up as a mass storage device only. No virtual com ports are configured which I suspect is why ODIN does not detect anything.
Could someone help me out please?
Thanks
Okay so installing the proper KIES + drivers now seems happier. Bear this in mind folks.
edit: Happier as in if the phone is booted up ODIN can now connect to it..
However, it's still not working when the phone is in Download mode.

Hi
I had a similar issue which seemed to resolve by starting the ODIN program first and then connecting the phone to the PC in download mode and then it was detected

Thanks, that doesn't work for me. I have a feeling it's this specific computer which is causing the issue so I will try another one this evening.
Using zadig.exe, it does not show the device at all when in download mode, but shows it fine in normal mode.
Had no problems with using a different machine. This problem was specific to one computer. Got to love Windows quirky USB sometimes.
Thanks for your replies folks.
