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!!!

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.

Have you tried a different computer or perhaps just a different USB port?
If it still doesn't work you can try using some form of wifi access to send files between your computer and prime. ES Files Explorer can see most windows shared drives.

Try a different USB port on your computer and try rebooting the PC. Otherwise you can try uninstalling the drivers from device manager.

Hmm...I'm not sure to be honest. I've only plugged mine into a computer once just to root it. I didn't even check to see if I could access it's memory. I have Win7 x64 home premium. You can try the thread in Dev about drivers and see if those will install.

I run windows 7 64 and when plugged into the USB port, I open the "Computer" windows explorer window, and my prime is listed at the bottom under "Other" I believe.
However I did have a problem when I first got it, but it wasn't from the prime. I had had trouble a while with my iphone connecting to USB and not opening my photos because of an MTP driver. Had a similar problem when I got my prime, googled it and found a solution on how to fix it for people with other USB devices, and I tried it, and my prime showed up and I decided to check my iphone and the only other USB device I had trouble with, and all of my device to USB problems were solved by fixing that MTP error message.

Try this:
With the prime connected to the PC usb, in Win7 goto control panel, administrator tools, computer management, drive manager. This will show all disk drives and their drive letters. The prime should be there but it might be conflicting with one of your other drive letters, change the primes drive letter to z and try to access z drive with file manager. Good luck.
i have installed the stock jellybean rom from here but since doing so i have noticed that when i connect my phone to the computer via usb cable my computer does not bring up the 'autoplay' options allowing me to access the phones storage and be able to drag and drop files to the phone etc.
I have tried installing kies so i can transfer files this way (pictures/videoe etc) but the computer dose not seem to see the phone?
any ideas

sorry can you explain more what you mean by this?
i am using windows vista on my computer, are you saying there is another way of detecting my phone when it is connected to the computer via the usb?
when i click on 'start' then 'my computer' i can see the drives on the computer etc but no phone attatched where i would normally see it.
Then that usually means you have no USB drivers installed for the phone .

Try reinstall usb driver for vista version.
Jellybean is still under beta. Bugs are inevitable.

Hi, I am using windows xp 32 bit sp3.(work pc) I can not get any of the usb drivers to install. I have used the drivers I downloaded from the tool kit 5.0 still no good.
Messege I get is phone has been used before and needs to be ejected and pc rebooted.
I have tried every way I know to do what messege says.My problem is the phone is seen as a digital camera. This is not helping matters.
I can only connect via the camera and take pictures from phone to pc. Thats all.
Any ideas? ( I am in UK)
Install KIES that install the drivers .

Does a USB icon appear on your phone at the top left of the screen when you plug into USB? If so, drag down the notification bar. Does it say "Connected as a camera"? If so, tap that and select "Media device (MTP)"

I have that driver. with out phone connected and everything uninstalled through device manager The drivers will not go in.
Messege is still either phone is or has been used and needs to be ejected then pc rebooted before trying install again.
None of this works.
I have tried using debug mode..phone came up in Device manager but with yellow question marks..no drivers could be found.
I am on a work pc with no admin priv.
I have connected phone in MTP mode. PC still sees a digital camera.
My work mate next to me has identical pc...When I plug S3 in to his pc I can connect to pc correctly It sees phone as portable device.
I looked at the drivers via device manager. My set of drives that don't work are..
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\usbscan.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ptpusb.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ptpusd.dll THESE DO NOT CONNECT PHONE CORRECTLY
the pc that does connect correctly use...
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\wpdusb.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\wudfrd.sys THESE CONNECT CORRECTLY
How do I remove all trace of incorrect drivers and put correct ones in.
Kies does not allow my old S2 or my S3 to connect.
can not connect to microsoft update via works pc either.
I've finally fixed my usb problem on a WinXP pc by updating Windows Media Player (?!!). I was on version 9 and updated to 11. Then i've reinstalled the Samsung USB Drivers and there, it magically works. You won't probably like me, need of WMP 11 but it was the only solution for me. Hope this will work for you too. I guess, the update to WMP 11 has cleaned up and installed some required libs for the drivers, who knows.
Try to disable the usb debugging and connect GSII with the computer.
Some windows will pop up to alert you some drivers are missing.
Let the computer install drivers(just use automatic).
Done.

I think it is clear the the OP had already tried your suggestion many times, and it didn't work. I have the same problem, and have resorting to using a second PC to load files, or removing the SD card and plugging it into a separate SD card reader. I have done as you suggested many times. When I install the phone USB, it finds the USB device, selects the correct drivers, then spins for a long time and then fails.
I have not tried updating windows media player yet, will follow up with status after I do.

Don't ask me how I found this or why it works....but I have 3 Xp machines and one of them worked fine after installing WMP11 but the other 2 were still not happy until I installed the attached Microsoft framework file. INSTANT success after that. Download it to your XP pc, unzip and install.

thank you, Thank you, Thank You! to all the solution-contributors in this thread. Updating Microsoft's User-Mode Driver Framework (either via Windows Media Player, or the direct files) solved the maddening headaches of USB connectivity with my phone on XP.

When I updated my XP pc with WMP 11, it installed version1 of User-Mode Driver Framework; the current version for XP is v1.9. The only site I found that has the direct files is http://rghost.net/36571160. I have also attached the file here.

I am having problems using Galaxy S3 i9300 4.1.1 with Windows 8 RTM x64.
I have installed Kies latest (2.5.0.12094_28). And i can see device is connected and i can even take backups. But when i am trying to send mp3 files it is giving an error "File Transfer from PC to 'GT-I9300' has been interrupted"
Also when the device is connected to PC via USB, i can see the contents in Windows Explorer but if i try to delete something, or upload a document there it says i dont have permisson.
With the same phone and PC, in Windows7 or XP there is no problem.
I have tried severel options like, "USB Debugging Mode", reinstall drivers, remove ghost drivers etc.
It just never worked for Windows8.
Any ideas or solutions?
I can tell you only: get used to it...nobody likes windows 8 and most likely even big companies will most likely slack doing drivers, even those who doesnt will yake their yime to make win8 drivers-dont get me wrong, i love win8, im running it since consumer preview

I mess about with stuff saved on my microSD card and phone very regularly with both my Windows 8 notebook (Release Preview) and tablet (RTM), connected by USB. My notebook has the Kies software installed, whereas the tablet doesn't. I don't have the problems you speak of.
On my notebook's Device Manager, with my phone plugged in, I have a category 'SAMSUNG Android Phone' with 'SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface' beneath it. Do you have that? My version of the driver is 2.9.503.726, dated 27/07/2012. On a side note, I also have the category 'Modems' with 'SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem' beneath it.
Have you tried uninstalling the drivers, and letting Windows install suitable drivers for you?
