I was getting ready to transfer files to my sdcard on the s3 to root when my phone stopped connecting to my pc and laptop. I have the samsung drivers installed on my comp. I started having this issue after I installed the drivers. My computer and laptop see the phone and always want to install drivers from it and nothing else. Pc is XP and laptop is windows 7 64bit. I want to root my phone, but when the drivers are installed neither my pc or laptop will recognize it. What should I do?
EDIT:
I am now getting this error when driver is installed:
Unable to find software on your pc that can recognize your device. Service pack 3, windows media player, version 10 or higher, for windows xp or android file transfer for mac os must be installed.
You can download and install PC KIES from *website* in order to sync data with your device, back up data, and upgrade your device.
My PC runs service pack 3 and has windows media player 10 on it.
I had a problem connecting to my PC twice since I rooted. All I did was uninstall the Samsung driver from my PC then reinstall. I rebooted after I reinstalled then connected my phone and it worked both times. I'm not sure what happens and why all of a sudden you lose it but at least it was an easy fix for me. I hope this helps.

I've had the same issue and this has also fixed it for me. I've had to do this multiple times. I guess I'll blame it on the MTP.

I haven't rooted my phone yet. I have reinstalled the drivers a few times. I am still having the issue. Should I just install the drivers, run odin and hope that it sees my phone?
I make the same post about my solution, not sure if it will work for you. I ditched all Samsung drivers and used the ones for the experia x8, it always connects now. But if you ever need to odin, you will have to install the Samsung ones. Maybe google them and see if they will work for you.

Are you using the usb cable that came with the phone? Also try different usb ports on your pc's I can't get my girlfriends laptop to recognize my phone and my desktop will only work if I use certain usb ports and the stock cable.
Tried all that. It happened the first day I got it, bone stock. Not a big deal, the x8 drivers get the job done.

I would make sure you don't have any other drivers installed from previous phones. I would uninstall drivers reboot PC then reinstall drivers and reboot again. Make sure phone is in mtp after you connect it to PC.

I wanted to root my friends ns4g but my of won't recognize it. He had a galaxy s 2 as well and it was the same issue.
I installed pdanet, Samsung drivers, different USB cords, nothing!
When I plug it in nothing happens, then about 5 mins later, USB not recognized. I manually tried to put the .inf file through the windows 7 wizard and still nothing.
Like I said my ns4g works perfectly fine, when I plug his in nothing works at all. I don't understand this at all. I have a 64bit system and made sure everything was for that. Can anyone help me out?

Can you mount usb in either recovery (if applicable) and android? Have you tried with usb debugging enabled? Also, does it show you no android device is connected in device manager?

There was something i read about the fast charge widget messing up the ability of the nexus to properly connect to the computer and a fix. Part of its design is to block USB file transfer when connected to a computer. There were several phones that couldn't connect after loading the widget.
Before i go and waste a bunch of time researching and digging for this. I would like to know if your friend has installed the fastcharge widget on his phone.

Try a different USB port on PC and pull the battery for a min.

Try drivers from Samsung support page. It took me a bit. But usually the pdanet drivers work. You could try another pc that does not have the drivers for the nexus.

The switch from Samsung USB drivers to Google ones for the recent crop of ROMs is not an obvious one.
There are some links in this post to make it a little easier to get them installed.

So today I went to use noxious ninjas root method and started out fine, but after the first reboot someone called my phone and the root procedure stopped working. My phone is working without a problem but when I plug my phone into the computer, the computer won't recognize my phone. The phone just starts charging and won't connect to the computer at all. I've tried different computers and it's the same thing, it won't connect at all, it only charges. I'm pretty much a beginner to all this so any help would be appreciated.

Check settings->developer options --> usb debug should be checked.
Usb debug is checked and so is non market apps. I've tried restarting the phone and deleting/reinstalling the drivers and the program on my computer. It still only charges when I plug it in

I have vista on my desktop and windows 7 on my laptop. I used the desktop to try and root because the samsung drivers wouldn't correctly install on the laptop. I've always used the desktop with Vista and never had a problem.

I think something mess-up in your phone after you rooted. Best way just backup all your apps (not system app), Odin back to stock and see if it's working. If it's then try to re-root again. Make sure everything is working before you restore all your apps.
Did you try rebooting the computer and then plug in back in?

Yea I literally left my Rezound to charge on vista laptop overnight and after I unplugged every time then it would pop up new device found. It was stupid but 07 always worked... do u have Samsung drivers updated on both machines and rebooted then plug

Well it didn't fully root, I'll look into the Odin but ill have to read more into it before I attempt anything.

MTP is the worst protocol ever created. Nothing but problems. You are either rooted or your not. You can download Root Checker on Google Play to.
I've tried looking everywhere for help on the forums. I don't know why my PC won't recognize my S3. I've tried everything, I'm using the right cable, ive tried all my usb ports, I've downloaded the samsung drivers, reinstalled numerous times. My pc itself isn't showing the phone in the device manager nor is my phone recognizing that it is plugged into the pc except for showing a charge. Idk what else to try...any help is appreciated. Thanks
Did you reboot your computer sometimes help, also connect the usb to the phone then your computer.good luck!!

Are you referring on how to connect S3 to a PC so that you can Odin the phone?
If so, you have to install Android SDK on your PC first. Here's a link. Do a YouTube search as well....there are how-to videos that will walk you thru it.

What operating system are you using? Have you tried disabling any internet/virus/malware protection software temporarily? This may help alleviate your issue. If on Windows, do you hear an audible sound when you connect/disconnect your phone to the PC? Also, try different USB ports if you haven't already. Windows is a fickle beast sometimes

If I remember correctly when I connected my GNote10 to my laptop all I could see was the sdcard not the external card. Well it could seevthe external sdcard but not what was on it. I put it down to the fact I run Linux and the drivers for the GNote10 may be different. However now I use WiFi File Explorer Pro and Bluetooth for transfering files as it seems easier for me.
There is a app to fix this on SSamsung apps store search for kies it will be there

Erica, unfortunately, this app does not install. If you're talking about Kies Saver WiFi.
Try connecting it to another Windows computer to see if it is detected to rule out whether or not it is a specific computer's issue or your tablet.
If it's just that computer then only thing I can think of is if you go to the Device Manager in windows and look under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" Host controllers and see if any have an exclamation mark.
From there you can try uninstalling that device and then either reconnect or reboot your computer and reconnect and see if it now detects it.
Could try this program on your computer to remove usb entries.search google for usbdview program for your pc.it will show all conmected usb devices remove old android conmections
Good luck this helped me before

I solved the issue like THIS:
Downloaded KIES
ran " connectionproblems" function of KIES (drivers will be newly installed)
Restart PC
Connect
And , voila, MTP works flawless ...........
FIXED
I pluged it in like you had and just got the un-ending "Connecting" in Kies. It showed the device ID (GT-N8013) in the connected device tab however it would never fully connect.
So what I did was while it was trying to connect in Kies I changed the connection type in the Note from MTP (Media device) to PTP (Camera). I got a few error messages in Kies saying that it can't connect to the device because the device was in the wrong mode. After I cleared those error messages and Kies stopped trying to connect. I than set the USB PC connection back to MTP and let Kies do its thing and no problemo there it was.
Hope this helps some of you! Have fun! Also the kick in the pants is that there is no firmware update available still stuck at 4.1.2. I was hoping 4.2 would be available.
same problem as OP
I have the same problem as OP, my PC just doesn't recognize that a device is plugged in. The Samsung note 10.1 beeps and charges but that's it, my PC is non the wiser to anything changing at all.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit and I've tried it on my brothers PC, same OS, and my dads which is 32bit. re-installed windows, fully updated Samsung and windows, Kies just says "plug in a device"
USBDeview doesn't recognize anything.
Nothing in device manager.
I've contacted Samsung after searching high and low on Google for an answer and they diagnosed it as faulty.
Repair center says it's working fine and sent it me back.
There must be something I'm missing on the tablet, could it be a faulty USB cable? I have really run out of options.
because its rooted
wont work because its rooted i even tryed voodoo root keeper and samsung wont let me update becasue its rooted .. kinda stuck. cant even connect computer to install custom rom

I don't know if this is the case with you, but I experience connection problems very often, in particular with OTG. Connection seems to be reliable immediately after reboot but after a (short? longer?) while it stops and won't work anymore.
My guess is that a driver is not correctly reset when the tablet resumes from sleep.
It might be a problem introduced with the latest OTA.

Fixed it with a £2 USB cable off eBay. If you have nothing but the tablet charging try a new cable. Worked for me after sending it to Samsung for repairs twice.
