USB not recognized - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

After flashing a ROM on my note, my computer can no longer connect to the internal storage. If I hook it into the computer (windows 7) it says USB not recognized. I tried Google and nothing has worked so far so I was truing to get some input from you guys. So far I've tried:
1 pulling my phones battery
2 pulling my laptops battery
3 formatting internal memory
4 installed/reinstalled kies and drivers
5 connecting to Odin (not detected due to no USB recognition)
6 mounting in recovery
7 flashing new ROM
Any help would be appreciated. My phone recognises the storage is there it just won't connect to transfer files and what not.

Device manager on the PC needs to show USB composite device, not generic android device.
Regardless of Odin or Kies Being installed, the PC should still see it.
Go into phone, and turn on USB debugging, then manually connect the device in the network menu.
That may help.
Also, are you using the factory cable ??
These devices require a factory cable.
Overall, you may still have driver issues....g

Device manger shows it as unknown device. I try uninstalling and reindtalling drivers but it doesn't work and USB debug is on. Also using factory cable :-\

So the device is working properly ??
Other than no USB connection ??
If so, the rom may have USB issues, and you could also get much more info from the particular rom thread.
Unknown USB device on pc usually means generic drivers are being used, and that tells me the specific device info may be missing in the new rom.
Is is AOSP/AOKP ??
please tell us what rom you flashed....g

The ROM was black star. And yes it works fine as a phone I just can't connect via USB no matter what ROM I'm on now. I think it somehow corrupted the internal drive. I have tried installing the drivers but its still out recognised

I'm on blackStar X (currently) and the codes provided from this thread works !

example:
*#197328640# Service Mode
and same as you... the code you'd provided does not work for me either... some works ... some don't.... nothing wrong with that... try uninstalling the generic drivers your desktop is using now and installing these:

I know that blackstar USB function is good, and you may be right on corruption issues.
If the above links and methods have failed, then I suggest an Odin restore of the stock rom to repair the device partitions.
But be careful. Some devices are very resistant to corruption, while others seem to brick without warning.
Not that I believe we are risking a brick, but with so many users running blackstar without problems, I'm simply urging caution, as a portion of the process was obviously damaged.
Another option, is to wipe the caches on the device, but not data.
Then flash the rom over the top of your current build.
This will often repair damaged or missing files from an incomplete download.
But I would download a fresh copy directly to the device via Wifi, just to be sure ....g

Yea I've used it before (same version too ) but something went very wrong this go around apparently. I can't use Odin as it doesn't recognise the device being connected and mobile Odin (which is what fixed the problem for someone's international note but sadly doesn't work with the i717) and I've tried wiping caches, formatting my internal and external sd, and even flashing a different rom but not matter what no computer will recognize and connect correctly

Ugh...
Not good ...
I suppose it's possible that you have a hardware failure of some sort.
The port might have failed.
I'm not quite ready to say you need a new one, but that's a good next step.
There's been several port failure threads lately, and this one may turn into another.
With the device functioning properly on the rom , we are back to trying a new cable next, then on to the new port.
Of course, only if we know that the PC environment is working properly.
Any new programs on the PC ? Antivirus programs in particular ?
I'm just trying to cover all of the bases ...g

Nope nothing new other than the ROM and any other USB deice properly installs drivers and works including 2 other galaxy family phones a droid maxxx and an iphone 5 for goid measure. I think you may be right and its hardware failure at this point somehow. I'll probably just end up doing a warranty exchange because I've spent hours and Google just keeps letting me down every time I find a new "solution" . Thanks I appreciate all the suggestions

Always welcome ..
But I'd try a cable first ...then warranty claim.
I really don't think you did anything wrong.....I think the device failed ....g

Go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> USB Utilities then press Connect Storage to PC

It's a little deeper than that ...g
