I have AT&T M8. Windows 8.1. When I connect phone with USB cable the MTP won't establish a secure connection so that phone shows attached to computer and I can explore files. The MTP files show as installed. I have HTC sync manager insatlled. But Media device (MTP) connected flashes non stop and computer keeps asking what to do with phone when connected. File explorer shows phone connected and then gone again in a couple of seconds.
Help please!
I'm having the EXACT SAME ISSUE on 8.1. Can someone please help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!! I'm stock rooted, no mods. Usb debug enabled, no lock screen and sync manager uninstalled. Can't get firewater soff thru adb because of this issue....

Turned out I was using a cheap USB cable. Are you using a good quality cable that can handle data as well as power?

Try a different port. Yes it sounds silly, but I have had this same issue on 3 different types of phones. I would always forget about having this problem and I kept saying what the heck is wrong here until I realized it. I always end up putting it in the wrong port so I ended up labeling the correct port on the PC.
Thanks for the advice! I have 3 ports on my laptop, I've tried all 3 of them with no luck. I'm trying to s-off using firewater thru adb, after I run the first command "adb reboot" , my phone reboots. I get 3/4 of the way thru the commands for s-off and my computer asks me a bunch of questions about my m8 and then I get disconnected from adb, (no device)? I'm running Windows 8.1, stock root, no mods, screen lock off, usb debug on, fast boot off, sync manager uninstalled from my computer. I'm out of ideas to try. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.....

If your laptop only has USB3.0 ports, then you'll need to replace the built in Microsoft USB 3.0 drivers with the Intel USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller drivers. This will give you proper ADB support when your phone reboots into fastboot mode. Also make sure you have proper HTC drivers installed as well (HTC Sync manager drivers should do the job, but if not, the HTC driver links can be found on this site).
Known issue with Windows 8/8.1 USB 3.0 and adb.
Sorry I don't have direct URL's at the moment, but I'm in the middle of a workshift. If you can't find what I'm talking about I'll post more info tomorrow.
Hope this helps.
Hey guys - Were you able to solve this problem ? I am stuck with same dilemma.

the only way to fix this is factory resetting your phone

I'm trying to tether my work computer to my phone using the new usb tether option, however when I check to tether, windows tries to install the drivers but can't locate them. I have tried installing the drivers from the samsung website but no luck but that didn't fix the issue. Anyone have any thoughts?

Try the drivers from the odin thread. These might help you out. I will try to find the link if I can.

Try the drivers that's on the vibtant sticky page under android development.

I'll give this a shot, Thanks.
why don't you just activate your "mobile AP" (wifi) and wifi tether your phone to your pc, using your phone as a wifi spot to get ur pc on the internet... that's what i do and it works great!
Yeah, that would be great and all, however my work pc doesn't have a wireless card built in. Trying to do this without management knowing...

Besides the bluetooth problem I have with this thing (already posted), now I have another problem. I have T-Mobile, 10GB which includes tethering. EVERY time I try to connect my laptop to the s3, all I get is "waiting for the network." To hopefully simplify things, I've made the s3 an open connection. I spoke with Samsung support, suggested that I do a hard reset. Did that, no change, only suggestion was to exchange the handset. I did that, EXACT same problem! The laptop has never had a problem connecting with ANYTHING before, including my old TP2. USB tethering works.
Any ideas?
can another laptop connect to ur s3?

Can you change from charge only mode to sd when you have your phone connected to pc?
If I choose havedisk on my phone then my sd card shows up but when I have it hooked up to the computer nothing shows up only on my phone
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Your going to have to try another pc. If you can't see the sd on another pc then it would probably be the usb port on your phone. What it looks like is that either the rx or tx contact on the phones usb port is damaged. If you don't have another pc then take it to sprint and tell them that you can't transfer data to your sd via pc. The will check the port for you.
Ok I noticed when clicking from charge only to media sync where the phone icon would show on the computer something flashes there when I switch them but its so fast I can't read what it says but it doesn't stay
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Yup it sounds like the USB port on the phone, you said you tried another cable right?
i have a htc evo 4g that was given to me. but it had a pattern lock on it. i called my friend that gave it to me and tried to get the pattern from him. but he couldnt remember it either bc after the power button broke on it it got another phone.
is there a program that i can use to hard reset the phone?
So I'm not sure if you are referring to the OG Evo, or the Evo LTE. Either way, the pattern passwords have alternative to unlock them. If you fail about 5-10 times (maybe more...I haven't tested it lately), it will prompt you for your email and password. Ask your friend about his default email, and possibly let him enter the information himself if he wants his info to remain private.
You can always plug it in to a PC that has ADB installed and try rebooting to either the bootloader or recovery. Not sure if that will work with the screen lock on but it's worth a shot.

he has told me he doesnt remember his email or his password. he said he has changed emails multiple times due to being hacked. :/
im downloading sdk and adb on my laptop now. and going to attempt to reset that way.
-edit..
i cant get adb to recognize the phone.. there has to be a way to get this to work.
Go into fastboot, then recovery. Do a factory reset, and flash a ROM.

thats my problem the phone is password locked and i have no email. bc my friend gave it to me and he forgot his email for this phone.
so i cant get past the lock screen. i know this can be done without a power button, ive seen it done before. but i cant remember how to do it. soon as i can get it factory reset i can handle the no power button problem.

Right, sorry, keeping forgetting. What exactly is wrong with the power button? And what error are you seeing with ADB?

the button has completely broken off of the mother board. i have the button, which i might have to fix to get anything done im guessing.
If the phone every shuts down completely from lack of battery, how will you turn it on then? Also, I guess repair isn't an option? Eg warranty and repair center.
Can't your friend recover the email account?

How do you still get it to boot if it is off/dies?
And by the way, do you have access to a Linux computer? Linux has absolutely no problem recognizing Android (Linux based). Also, I'm not 100% sure if you will get any computer to recognize it via ADB without having USB debugging checked off in Developer Options.

Titanium Backup (ROOT) has a boot to recovery option, that should give you access to adb and/or fastboot.
He can't get past the lock screen password. Read the OP. Sorry to be too blunt.

If it's on the lock screen, can you get it on any wlan? Unsecured that it automatically connects to? If so, you can install apps via your browser in Google play. Given that the Google account on the phone is accessible from the browser.. That could open doors...

That won't work either. To install apps from the browser, the OP will have to be signed in from the former user's email that is registered with the phone. However, the owner no longer remembers which email is linked to the phone.

Could be a driver issue, or a problem with the USB port on your computer. You can install HTC Sync if you want to get the latest drivers on your computer.

Actually you were right, it was the usb port on the computer. Strange tho.
