Hi all,
I had a US Cellular GS3 and rooted it in july to run CM 10.1.2 stable. It worked like a dream. I just switched over to verizon and I downloaded a tool kit to help me root my device (i got it by googling verizon s4 toolkit and going to the droidviews website) and am following the steps. However, when I get to the download moad and odin loads up, it does't recognize my phone. Therefore, when I try to flash the TAR file in the PDA box, it doesn't get sent to my phone.
Can anyone help me please? I have the newest drivers and I rebooted both my phone and my cpu, and nothing works.
Thanks in advance, I can't handle TouchWiz!
If you're sure you have the Samsung usb drivers,
Use the usb ports in the back of the computer.
Make sure you have the Samsung usb cable that came with your charger.
If those don't work try a different computer.

Hello everyone. I have a problem with connecting my Samsung galaxy S3 (android 4.3) to any of my PCs. Before everything worked fine but then I upgraded to android 4.3 and connections started crashing. It still worked but connections were unstable. So I installed Samsung Kies 3 and from then on I haven't been able to connect my device to any PC. I tried everything I found on web. I have developer mode and usb debugging on. I know my cable is OK because other devices work just fine. Someone suggested going to usb settings but apparently there is no such think in android 4.3 settings, so I downloaded some apps to change my usb settings but they all require a rooted phone. I tried rooting my phone but even for that I need to connect it to a PC. I really need to connect my phone to PC to test apps(android emulator lags waaay too much). Does anyone know how to fix this please? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone I am new to the Galaxy series. I thought the Samsung Kies idea looked like it could come in handy.
I have a Galaxy S4 (originally through U.S Cellular) but was FLASHED to Verizon Prepaid. After installing the program I tried to plug my phone into the laptop, but it says the device cannot be recognized. I can only assume it's because it was flashed and it doesn't recognize it as a Galaxy. Is this true?? or is it something I am doing wrong
.. I would like to send files to and from my computer but so far NOT so good
Can anyone give me an idea

What model of Galaxy S4 do you have?
Are the proper drivers installed?
At the very least, you should see the phone as a MTP or PTP device when you plug it in. If you're seeing nothing appear, then perhaps the cable or USB jack is bad.

I had the same problem when I connected my Note 10.1 (GT-N8010) it only charged, tried all the available methods, used 3 different cables, reinstall drivers, reinstall KIES, etc, etc, etc. For rooting without ODIN, I tried Framaroot to root but it did not work, then tried a chinese program called RomasterSu and it worked....
But the final solution was replace the USB port and the tablet worked again with the PC. For the GT-N8010, you can search ebay for "usb charrging port gt-xxxxx. The usb port cost around $7.00USD and the process to replace it was very easy.
Since windows can't recognize my galaxy S3, I'm thinking of rooting it without connecting it to the computer.
Are there any method that can grant root AND custom recovery without using a computer?
@TrojanHorses:
1. If Windows doesn't recognize your S3, try another cable, an USB-port on motherboard, deinstall all Samsung-crap and get Odon fresh from sammobile.com.
2. If you had entered your question in search, you'd got fe this thread

Tried to use a different cable, and also different computers, all cannot recognize my s3. Other phones work fine though. Did a reinstall of samsung usb drivers and also reinstall/uninstall kies. I'm fairly certain that it must be a hardware problem
Sadly, framaroot doesnt work.
@TrojanHorses: if you connect after having booted normally into system, does it charge?
You have samsung usb 6 pin ? Others are 5 pin, i buyed galaxy s3 and usb cable in box didnt working in odin, i create myself and now work
KingRoot should do the trick.
No computer required.
I used KingRoot to root and now I have CM13 and TWRP installed properly.
(If this helped you ? Leave a thanks!)
