Can't transfer files to AT&T S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I can copy FROM the device to the computer but when I try to transfer TO the phone, I get an error that says "The device has either stopped responding or has disconnected." I'm running Diet ICS 7.11.12 and trying to flash to most recent update but can't get the .zip file to transfer. I've rebooted the phone several times and my Windows 7 computer once. Any ideas?

Try disconnecting USB, toggle USB Debugging off and on, then reconnecting. That seems to fix it for me. You can always use ADB to transfer files, too.

Toggling the USB dubugging didn't work but ADB transfer worked. Must be a bug with the current version of the ROM. I don't have enough posts yet to post in the Diet ICS thread

Hero USB Connection Not Recognized

Hi all
I have a problem with my hero not being recognized by my PC. This happened after a weekend trip and i charged the phone with iphone USB adapter as i lost my one and now after returning from my trip i connect my hero to my PC to be greeted with the "USB Device Not Recognized" message.
Also my Amon_Ra recovery i used has been wiped and i cant get into recovery or install any rom at all.
I am thinking this might be the same USB brick that affected some Desire owners but i am not sure.
So please if anyone can help me, please do.
Thanks in advance.

this happen to me. What i did was switch my phone off, plug in the usb and switched it back on. then wait for windows to say it not recognised. then go to to device and printers and uninstall the drivers for the phone. Disconnect and reconnect the usb back to the phone and it it will pick it up.
Can you try booting in fastboot and tell me if that is recognized?
it still doesnt recognize it in fastboot

Sounds like its just a driver issue. Have you tried plugging it in, when you get that message open DEVICE MANAGER,... Find the yellow "!", right click it, uninstall, unplug phone, reboot PC.
.... Then use BTDAG's [Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers (for x86 & x64 users)
I hav the same problem. In recover mode it works but then turn on the phone, there is no popup options as before. Tried around with drivers but didnt work either. But found a solution which is very convenient. I dont know if it works on other ROM versions but I'm on 2.1 (Villain10).
- Install extended control widget (dont remember where I got it but you can google, it seems I cannot find it on the market)
- Add this widget to the home screen: Menu/Add to Home/Widget/ Extended Control bar (you can choose the size from 1x1 to 1x4) then select "Mass storage" at the bottom, apply.
Now you have a widget to turn on/off USB storage. When you connect Hero to the PC, just click on this widget then the PC will connect to the SD card, and click one more to turn it off.
ok i will give that a try

i have tried everything. changed the cable, used different pc but nothing works. i think is a hardware problem, something might be broken inside or something like that
Did you ever got this solved? I have the same problem only i use stock rom 2.1 Hero.. driving me nuts ...

No i havent and i gave up trying because i dnt think there is a fix for it. if yours is unrooted and the warranty is still valid you should consider returning it to HTC maybe they might replace it
got the same problem. Any solution so far ??

Did you try that?..... You need to do the reboot PC/Laptop after uninstalling ALL HTC drivers! Then when you reboot PC, plug phone back in, should say "not recognised" again,... then follow BTDAG's guide. T'is definitely a driver issue!
tried flashing 3 roms, modaco, radug and now kimera... none working.
can connect in fastboot, it shows up in device manager as android 1.0
ive tried 3 different usb cables and 4 differet pcs, still there is no response on my phone !!!
using villian rom 10.0 rite now.
okay it boots up into fastboot and fastboot usb shows up on the screen in red,
BUT when i use the "adb devices" command in adb it doesnt show the device,
it is showing as android 1.0 in devices and printers (windows 7)
You need to use....
fastboot devices
....when your are in fastboot.
What happens when you go into your recovery, select "Toggle MS/USB" with USB connected to PC?
okay
fastboot devices command shows some serial number.
then i tried adb remount, it gave an error....
enabling usb-ms with cable attached gives no response
ok i think it might be USB driver like ddotpatel said but i am not sure.
i reinstalled my whole windows 7 to 32bit now instead of the 64bit version i was using before and today i just connected my hero to my PC and windows 7 did its thing and installed the drivers and finally my hero can mount the SD card in my PC again although i kept getting this can perform faster in USB 2.0 port or something like that i didn’t care as long as i can mount my SD card again.
now went into fastboot and used the fastboot device command and i could see my hero serial no. but when i try to flash the amonra recovery i got the permission error (i cant really remember). i tried flashing using the adb method but still no luck.
so i went to market and downloaded rom manager and used it to flash clockwork recovery and now i could boot to clockwork recovery.
from this recovery i can now flash any rom i want and although there are still a few more problems i am glad now that i can flash custom roms again.
the problem i can see so far but i can deal with is
1. i don’t think fastboot commands work even if the phone is detected.
2. SD card mounts at USB 1.1 speed. (i have tried different ports and cable but still the same thing and this is the ports i use for my N1, Desire and my other android phones with USB 2.0 speed)
PS: adb commands for pushing and removing apps is working.
Hope this can be helpful to those experiencing the same problem.
Instead of re-installing your entire OS just use usbdeview to remove the failing drivers.
Also remove any old HTC Sync installs and install the latest version.

computer will not recognize phone

This is driving me to drink, currently running the powerwashed GB rom (ec09 radio, eh09 rom). no computer in my house (I have 4 ) will recognize my phone, usually nothing happens but sometimes i get a "usb device not recognized" error. Tried 3 different cables. Never had problems before. Can anyone help?
Did u try changing from kies to mass storage in usb settings?
yes it has no effect. The Samsung Drivers are installed on all my computers btw also. Restarting the phone while plugged in doesn't help, toggling USB debugging doesn't help.

have you tried cleaning the usb port on your phone? Compressed air, contact cleaner, or denatured alcohol with a q-tip etc... sounds like a connection issue.
Yea tried that, no dice. Sometimes i can get the "usb connected" to come up on the phone but when you select to copy files from your computer the phone acts like its connected but the computer does nothing. Heck i even tried another sd card
Right before I had this rom on the phone I had flashed back to stock ED05 and it worked fine.
The only thing I can do is connect thru bluetooth, but I need a download connection to odin anything. Is there anyway to delete this Samsung Kies off my phone?
For me info if I keep my phone plugged in and restart the phone windows picks it up but gives a warning that the USB device is not recognized. If you try and re install the Samsung USB driver it says its already installed.
Finally got it, it was definitely something in the GB software. Was finally able to odin eb01 then to ed05 on both of them plugged in with no problems. Now on CM7.

USB Device not recognized

I just plugged my S3 into my PC to copy some files over, and all of a sudden i got this error from windows saying USB Device not recognized and this USB device has malfunctioned. I heard its a known problem on android phones, but never really found a solution for it. Can someone help?

I had the same problem.Make a back up of your phone
and do a factory reset.
tried installing usb drivers sgain ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
try installing Kies?
Its ok i got it to work. Went into download mode and plugged into my PC and windows installed some drivers, Odin detected the phone just fine. Then i booted up into android like normal but switched to PTP mode, windows then installed the MTP drivers (though it was already installed) then after that all worked well again
Please help...
Im having the same problem. But nothing seems to work for me. Tried everything possible. Re-installed drivers, connected in download mode, installed Kies, reset to factory setting..ALL TO NO AVAIL. I keep getting 'USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned...' message...
The solution isnt always the same for all users.. Fortunately mine was fixed by a simple driver install. I remember browsing the internet and found out that there is a way to fix it but it requires simple adb commands and the Android SDK.

Can't copy files from PC to Galaxy SII

Hello xda users,
I'm having a really strange problem. When copying files from my PC to my phone (be it the internal storage or the SD card) the window that shows the transfer process just hangs and nothing happens. Example: see transferhang.png from attachments (sorry, can't post links yet)
After leaving it "copy" for a while I get this error:
see cannotcopy.png from attachments. (The error says: Cannot copy item: the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.)
I am running Windows 7. My Galaxy SII is rooted and I am running the MIUI rom. I have searched around and have found no working solution.
However, if I change the USB port from the front of the PC (USB 2.0) to the back (USB 3.0) I can transfer small files like photos but larger ones (like 150MB for example) hang up.
Copying files from the phone to the PC, however, works. I find this whole thing really strange.
If anyone has any idea as to how to fix this please tell me.
Did you try the same thing on another computer?
Did you try to change the use cable?

Tried it on another computer, same thing.
Haven't tried another cable, don't have one.
Did you face the same problem before the MIUI rom? Sometimes the ROM could cause the problem

Running stock android (4.1.2) I did not experience the same problems, but I had other issues.
While on stock 4.1.2 my computer couldn't detect my device for some reason. It always failed to install the drivers and the "Troubleshoot connection issue" option in Kies did nothing. Every time I connected my device to the PC I got a "Device not recognized..." pop-up. I was able to get my PC to detect the phone but I had to do really strange things (strange as in I have no clue why it works) and it didn't always work.
What I did to get my PC to connect to my phone was:
1. Open settings
2. Go to USB options
3. Choose "Mount USB storage" (most likely not worded this way)
4. Connect my phone to the PC
5. Get a "Device not recognized" error
6. Go to developer options -> Enable USB debugging
7. Boom, it works. (but as I said not 100% of the time)
While doing all of this I had Kies running, otherwise the method doesn't yield anything.
I tried just enabling USB debugging and connecting the phone, but it didn't work that way. For some reason the only way to get it working was to mount the USB storage and enable USB debugging after that, all the while running Kies on my PC.

Currrently Im using Neat ROM for my GS2. I have kies totally uninstalled. I plugin my phone to the pc and it recogonized it. I have the USB debuggin set on. You can try to install another ROM tho, and make a full wip etc. I cant tell u that getting a new ROM will 100% solve your problem, but you can give it a try tho.
/Amiroslo
I have tried doing a full wipe and it doesn't help.
The only roms I have tried are stock 4.1.2 and MIUI.
I can't tell whether it's a Windows problem or a problem with my phone.
Try new stuff
Either
Try a new Rom, stock or aosp or aokp
update your usb drivers, just google and you will find the new one
Got a new cable. Worked.

[Q] USB Only Charging, No Other Connection Types Working

I have been fighting this for awhile now. My phone boots up just fine, and I am able to charge it through USB, but I cannot get Windows to recognize it. I have tried multiple ports, checking and unchecking MTP and PTP in settings, enabling and disabling ADB, and even putting the phone in download mode. LGNPST won't even recognize it in download mode. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Does anybody have a suggestion? I'm currently running CWM 6.0.4.7 and CM 11. Thanks in advance for any help.

Had same problem with my laptop. I installed the correct drivers but still, nothing. Might want to try a different pc to see if the problem is the phone or the pc.
I have a similar problem here at work. We all use Win7 PCs. Mine has the LGOG driver package installed and despite all efforts to install, etc my LGOG only charges. The notice window appears announcing that drivers are being installed, but then it fails.
When I go to my neighbor's pc, that doesn't have the driver package installed the notice window appears, says searching and installing drivers and I can see my phone in explorer. I can't explain but a different pc is a solution.
