Hi.
To keep it short, installed CyanogenMod 10.2 like 4 months ago (i'm not expert on this topic at all, just curious and daring). All this time i haven´t used the USB transfer for anything as i had enough music on my sd card when i flashed it and didn't have time to add more because i had too few spare time. Also if i needed a file i uploaded or downloaded it from Dropbox.
Lately i've been trying to transfer some new music via USB but my PC isn't recognizing the device. Installed Kies but that didn't work either. Tried to connect it to 3 more PC's and a Mac and none of them recognized it. Before that, with stock rom, didn't have any of those problems.
is there a way to solve this issue???
thanks

Did you enable Mass Storage mode after connectin usb?

The situation is this: at work the computers are heavily locked down. By that I mean that you can not download and install anything, no cd rom access and no usb access. they run win xp (some of you may be too young to have heard of this)
I have recently discovered, however, that when i plug my galaxy s3 in, the pc sees it as a digital camera, and i can access every folder on the internal sd card through windows explorer. i can then transfer any file i like to the computer
This never happened on my g note, nexus s, or any other device.
Now, I can only confirm that the above works on xpower 2.5 ics custom rom. when I changed to hypergalaxy jb rom, there was no access to my phone via the pc.
Can anyone help me to understand how and why this works, and how i might use a hack to enable any usb device on such a locked down pc?

No since they are work computers and are supposed to be locked down attempting to hack them will just get you fired since the IT department will be watching everything or notice it the next time they need to do work on that computer so if you value your job don't attempt this.

Some devices just need their own drivers installed before they can connect as normal USB/MTP storage devices.
I searched on the web and found some similar problems but not an answer to what is happening to my phone.
My GS3 is running CheckROM v5.5 android 4.1.1 and I cannot connect it succesfully to any computer via USB.
Inicially, after I got CheckROM, it was working, but I don't know what I did that made it stop working.
I've tried to connect it to a PC and a Mac, tried with Kies and without it. On the mac also tried with and without the Android File Transfer.
I tried with USB Debugger on and off, too.
I am almost certain the problem is in the phone, because when I plug it there is no message about choosing MTP or Camera mode, or anything like that, it's just like I am charging it on the wall.
Also, I am able to sync it to Kies with Wi-fi connection on my PC.
What I really want is to be able to transfer music and larger files to the phone via USB.
My phone does not have an external SD card, just internal memory. Is there something I'm missing that can fix this?
Sorry about any english mistakes ;}

The phone won't be detected by the computer. It does not appear on windows explorer.
Then you have no drivers install drivers see sticky on page one of General .

Hi everyone, I have some problems on Win7 64 Bit with my gs3. When I connect it in usb mode it doesn't work. Very few time I can open the mass storage. I don't know if this is a driver problem, and another problem is that when I use Kies, the program find my s3 but there isn't sync with it.
So I can't do anything.
Android Revolution 16.0 and Siyah Kernel 8.0 (This happened also with 7.0 version of the kernel).

my experience
Hi, my s3 was bought this month and I've updated to 4.1.1 OTA. No root.
I've never used kies, but about the usb mass storage, it just doesn't do it. When you plug the s3 to a computer, it is always in media transfer, no mass storage mode. There is another mode possible, something I don't really know what it is, but no usb mass storage.
That's what I've found out on the net when I was also looking for it. I was very disappointed. Unless you root it, you can't use it as usb mass storage.
Now, what I do to transfer files, etc, is to use a ftp-server app I've download from google play (free), and use filezilla on my computer (also i7, 64b, like yours). It works nicely, no cables needed. It could be an alternative for you, as it is for me.
Hope it helps.
Mass storage mode was removed with in Galaxy S3, nothing you can do. You should still be able to transfer files. When I plug the phone into my pc, I can simply open it with the windows explorer and there I see all the folders. If this doesn't work, install the samsung USB drivers, they can be found here on the forums.
hi. the problem im having is that i cant connect my phone to transfer files such as music and photos. i can use apps like airdroid and kies but want to discover the problem and have an easier way off organizing my files from computer to phone.
i recently flashed cm-9-20121209-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip then installed gapps-ics-201204929-signed.zip from internal storage.
thats the only two things i have done.
a window used to pop up when i plugged in the usb and it would also appear on 'MyComputer' folder. but neither happen now. I still get the connected sound when i connect the phone. I have tried different usb slots on my computer and have tried turning my phone off and on and rebooting it.
do i need a special driver for the cyanogenmod rom? thats the only thing i can think of!
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
One of my relatives has an old Galaxy Player. It's not recognized by my PC (or any, for that matter) and recently its home screen (process com.scc.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped working. I need the photos off of it and have been trying to no avail. The files are on the internal SD card, hence the difficulty. I think that if I could just install an application (.apk), or even just access the storage from a PC, then I could figure something out, but I can't figure out how to.
Thanks in advance,

Is the Wi-Fi working on the device? If so, you could install Airdroid and transfer the files with no cable

It's working, but due to the home not appearing, I can't access it.
