Everything was running smooth. Then I accidentally hit the camera(PTP) button on the USB options. Now every time i try to connect my note2 to my PC. It automatically goes into PTP mode. Go to USB options click on Media device (MTP) and it just keeps going right back to PTP immediately. Does anyone have this problem or a solution for me?
I've tried Reinstalling Kies, and drivers. Pulled the battery, basically tried everything and anything i could findon any thread with no luck. HELP!

AAAAAAHHH!
Any update on this? Anyone find another solution? I'm trying to pull a bunch of stuff off my Note 2 to put on my Note 3, but am stuck in this situation. I guess in a pinch I can copy everything from phone to SD card with ES File explorer then read the card directly, but that would suck.
Yeah man, that's probably what you'll have to do...alternately you can use adb and the terminal to copy all of your stuff pretty easily, but if you're not familiar that would be your best bet

My phone wouldn't connect to my computer, like when I plug it in, the LED on the phone turns on, but it wouldn't have the little USB icon in the notification bar, and on my computer, it would say "Device Not Recognized".
I tried different computers, different cables, uninstalling USB drivers, and nothing worked, so I decided to do Factory Reset. Unfortunately, I forgot I deleted the stock Home Launcher (did the whole app cleanup thing), so when I turned my phone on, there was just a black screen with only the notification bar. I could receive messages and texts, but that was it.
I tried restarting my phone, and now it gets stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. Is there any way to fix it? -- This was on X10a Generic rom.
I also have 2.2. installed in dual boot, but it has some bugs (none of the radios worked, no market, screen keeps flashing).
Will appreciate ANY suggestions on how to fix. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Anyone have similar experiences/know if Rogers will fix it under warranty?
I highly doubt Rogers will agree that it is covered under warranty... I'm not sure how the 2.2 build works.. perhaps you could try install the stock home launcher through that and then factory reset? (But what the launcher has to do with USB I have no idea)
Did you do something specific that caused it to stop working? Maybe you can try reverse that
I deleted the stock launcher and used LauncherPro instead...but when I did factory reset, it deleted all my apps. Not sure if that matters though, because it gets stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo screen now..

Will it go into flash mode?
When I connect while holding down the back button, the LED on the phone goes to green like it's in flash mode, but on my computer, if I use flasher, it says "Unable to open channel", and if I try with PC Companion or SEUS, they don't recognize that the phone's connected.
try to put the home launcher apk on the SD card and then boot on android 2.2 and copy it to the specified folder for that, that should work.

I don't have any file managers installed though. Also no internet or USB, so I can't put any apps on...Unless Android has some sort of built in file manager?
Hmm...When I try booting into 2.1, it gets stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo, but if I swipe my finger across the bottom, it vibrates a little, like when you're unlocking it...
Can you still boot into the 2.2? If so then attatch a usb cable and enable usb debugging. Open up adb and, type
Adb shell
Killall servicemanager
This will reset your phone and fix the flashing screen and radio.
As for your 2.1, I recommend reflashing. Your open channel error is from having the wrong dev Id. There are threads about flashing your phone. I suggest you read carefully, or stick to sony ericsson update service, because you don't seem to be reading threads properly, and we don't want you to break your phone

Thanks everyone for the help. It looks like it was an issue with the SD Card, because I just tried putting a new one in and everything works fine.
*By fine, I mean I can connect through USB and just reflash it.

I have the same issue, i tried another sd card (from a Desire), but still was the same: cannot mount via usb.
What means it was a new one? Have you formatted the sd card?
That's strange...I was able to connect yesterday with the new SD card (like brand new from store), but now it won't work...Tried reformatting, un/re-installing drivers.
I'll keep looking at it, I guess something else I did yesterday must've fixed it...
Tried reformatting the sd, uninstalling drivers too, without success. There are some forums appearing the same issue, i think it is NOT hardware related.
We should investigate this.
What of these programs did you use, before the issue started?
My suspicious programs are:
-Root explorer (starting JiT-toggle-0.1 - with no luck)
-Terminal Emulator (starting JiT-toggle-0.1 - ok)
-ES Security Manager (Thread detector)
I'm very disappointed, we need some good advice.
To check if your SD card is ok, you can buy an USB to SD card adapter AND Micro-SD card adapter. You will get both for about $5 (you don't need high value stuff, beat the eBay monster ).

Don't use such crap, it's highly useless and cause much more bugs than helps
I have the same problem. Windows show me the xperia like "unknown device" but the cell charge without problems. It seems to be the connector micro usb.
Hi guys, i searched the forum before making this thread so hopefully im not spamming like an idiot, heres the deal:
I recently switched to Cyanogenmod 10.1 from Stock ICS Rom on Amaze 4g, before switching i was able to see both my internal and external sd cards when i plugged the phone to windows, they would show as "Htc Storage" and "External Disk", however after i installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 whenever i plug in my phone i only get "Disk F" and its only the internal storage, i can still access my SD card from within the phone itself and i actually store there pictures and music and stuff, but if i try to connect to the pc to download the pictures from the camera im unable to, it just wont show up.
I tried turning usb debugging off, back on, tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and i still cant seem to get it to work on windows, i tried this in two different pcs with both windows 7 and 8.
Its not a life or death situation but its certainly annoying, so any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You basically just download a ruu and run it in bootloader. You also have to out it on the root of the sd card (not in folders). And also name it to PH85IMG.
That's what I remember I'm not an expert on ruus.

I think he should use other Rom for this Bcoz according to my knowledge cynogenmod doesn't support two SD card mountind
Bcoz they made is as a standard.

Both cards will show up under Portable Devices in windows.
It just stopped working. When I plug into PC, it just says it's charging? No idea what I could have done. I even tried restoring my backed up stock rom, but that made no difference. Tried two different PC's. What settings should I look for? Can I get to it via reboot, and pressing something. I seem to remember one time when my phone wouldn't boot, that I still had USB access.

If you have CWM installed then yes, you *should* be just fine. In mounts and storage menu, the last option i think is "mount USB storage" and it will show up in windows as removable storage then. If this doesn't work I can guess two things, one, your cable only has the power pins still connected, and not data. So try another cable. Or, on the USB connector inside your phone its not connecting both data pins, only power.
Should be able to visually check for damage to the micro usb port. Best of luck.

not if there is an option to enable storage, I haven't used twrp in forever, so I can't tell you definitively. You could download CWM on your device and flash it in TWRP though.
USB port appears fine. Tried different cable that works on my son's phone and it still didn't work. Is there an app that is good for troubleshooting usb connections someone could recommend. Thanks.

According to google TWRP does have an option to mount usb storage, have you tried seeing if windows can recognize your phone storage in recovery?
An alternative solution could be to use a shared folder in windows and ES file explorer to connect to that share, and send and receive files that way, so at least you have some ability to manage the device. *through WiFi on the phone to the LAN that your PC is on*
I would suggest deleting all the drivers for your device in windows but you already said you tried on a second computer. I'm stumped on this one at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestions. So far, none have worked. I wonder if there is an android app, that can check if the usb ports are working or not?
I had the same problem on SlimBean, Beanstalk and maybe another I can't remember. Switching to dvhexer's CM 10.2 fixed it. I THINK my problem was that those other ROMs require the phone to have been on stock 4.1.2 before flashing and dvhexer's CM 10.2 doesn't. I'm not sure, but that seems likely to me. In any case, make a backup of your current ROM and flash CM 10.2 to see if that fixes the issue. I really like Beanstalk but the ability to connect to my PC is vital to me so I'm on 10.2 for now. Hope this helps.

Have the same problem :/ it randomly happened to me, haven't found any sort of fix.
I think I'm going to go back to stock, take it to a service center and say, "it aint workin". Still under warranty. Doubt they'll do much snooping if it appears to be running stock Rom.
Can you even flash back to stock? I tried flashing it once and it wouldn't boot, completely wiped everything and reinstalled and it still wouldn't boot, so I'm stuck on custom roms apparently with no connection to pc so no lgnpst possible

Completely unistalled or just dragged to the trash can?
Important! You must uninstall Kies for Mac before running Android File Transfer. Otherwise, the application will not connect to your device.
To uninstall Kies, download the Kies for Mac software by visiting the Kies website.
From Finder, click Go > Downloads > KiesMac_xxxx.dmg > Uninstall.
Why do you even need to connect your phone to the mac to root? Unless you have a 64gb sd card your going to have to format the sd card by taking it out of your phone first.
Did all those things don't have 64 gig SD card so how do I start this root without connecting I'm not a noob to custom recovery always read and with this Mac junk these phones really do have major compatibility issue

The card just needs to be formatted correctly.
Once that is done you need to extract the files to the root of the card.
You should be able to format the card in the phone.
Take the card out of the phone and use an adapter to directly connect to the Mac.
That's what I did.
Hi guys,
i've been struggling with this issue for weeks,tried everything and still didn't find a solution.
When i copy/cut large files, the tranfer speed suddently drops to 0kb/s and freezes.
It happens on operation within the phone and when tranfer file from pc too.
I've obiouvsly done dozen of total wipes.
I've tried different 4.4.2 roms.
I've tried different file mananger apps.
I've tried different kernels.
I've done a chkdsk on internal and external sd cards.
I've tried another external sd card.
So, because I was concerned about an hardware failure, I flashed the stock 4.1.2 rom.....used it for 4-5 days and the problem was gone.
Back to 4.4.2 and the issue is still here.
The strange thing is I don't have this issue with a fresh installed rom...it comes after configuring and using the phone for a while.
I've done an intensive google research,but seems no one has this problem,hope somebody can help
cheers:fingers-crossed:
