[Q] Phone not recognized on PC - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

When I connect my phone to my PC, it charges perfectly fine but it doesn't get recognized by the PC. I installed the Samsung USB drivers, tried different wires, and tried different USB ports. My phone still doesn't get recognized by the PC.Since my phone has been having a lot of problems lately on 4.3, I needed to connect my phone to Odin because i need to flash the stock 4.3 firmware onto my phone from Odin. But like I said before, my phone doesn't get recognized by the PC.
Because this happens, do I need to get my charging port replaced?

[Q] USB not recognized

Hi all,
My Droid charge decided to do something weird today; it no longer will USB mount! This problem is particularly bad because, while I can put the phone in download mode, my computer will not recognize the USB and ODIN (1.2 & 1.8) cannot wipe the phone.
Any suggestions? I really need my phone back, but I'm not sure what to do.
Tried reinstalling the USB Samsung Drivers, using the original data cable, and two different computers (Win7). SD card will mount in an external drive (aka without the phone), and the phone will charge via USB. I have the most recent form of CWM on it, and the EP4P debloated and rooted rom.
Thanks,
frak

That happened to me a while back. Mine had the added bonus of going into desk dock mode and staying there. It was a hardware issue with the USB port. It would charge, but nothing else. Mine did become intermittent though, and cycling the cable in and out seemed to help it some, but ultimately, I had to send it in for replacement

What cable are you using? I accidentally grabbed my charging-only cable the other day and didn't realized it only had the wires for positive and negative. No data pins.
Is it the cable that came with your Droid?
Another thread similar. Check it out and try some.

Had that yesterday. A different port worked fine for me. Maybe a couple of power cycles will do the trick.

Can you point me to the drivers you installed? Thanks in advance.
I am having same problem and going nuts. I have Galaxy S2. I CAN connect to windows and Kies when phone is booted up but can not connect while in download mode. On Andoid System Recovery <3e>, I tried to do factory reset and wipe cache but no vain. Still getting usb not recognized.

[Q] ADB not connecting

Not sure when USB stopped working but nothing I've done let's my HTC One X (AT&T) connect via usb. I'm running CM10.1 and have tried both MTP and USB Storage and none of my PC's will see my phone.
I'm running TWRP 2.5, which I just updated today. When I boot into recovery and mount USB, my PC shows nothing. I boot the phone into recovery and the fastboot line says fastboot AC instead of fastboot USB. I've tried 3 different cables, an older cable that came with a MyTouch 4G, the HOX cable, and a generic USB cable. All three cables work with my wife's HOX, though hers is stock.
I've also tried on two different laptops (one vista, one win7), my PC (win7), even ran an Ubuntu VM on my PC and nothing.
HTC Sync Manager has been installed and is currently uninstalled though I do see the HTC Driver in Programs so it is there. Some times when I plug the phone in I get an error from Windows about the USB device not installing right. One odd thing is I don't see the device anywhere in device manager, nothing other Other, Android Devices or anything like that.
Developer options are turned on, with Android debugging, USB debugging notify turned on. Root access is set to Apps and ADB.
I've tried other things I've found such as turning the phone off and plugging it into the USB and letting windows detect that way. Pretty much at a loss at this point.

Helping a gentleman with the same issue in another thread, it sounds to me like a hardware issue.

[Q] Phone won't connect to Odin

I had to install the 4.3 firmware on my S3 since it got soft-bricked, but it seems that even though I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and installed Odin, my phone won't connect to Odin. I tried using different charging wires and different USB ports, and that doesn't work either. Even my friend's phone, which was an S3 as well, managed to connect to Odin with the same charging wires. Is it something to do with my phone? I need help with this.
My S3 updated to 4.3 (locked bootloader) and I can't make it connect via USB, it won't connect. I've tried everything, every link I can find, reghacks, drivers (countless installs/etc). I know what I'm doing, I've been using computers longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.
The thing is the device isn't telling the PC what type of Hardware it is, let alone the PC having drivers. I actually think my phone is toast - I'm glad it still charges and you can (if you're not rooted) root via Towelroot without a PC.
Good luck.

USB Issue

Hello,
I've had a GT-N8013 for a few years and just recently decided to try something besides stock on it. Darn thing is, once I reset the tablet to factory settings (4.1.2) and got prepared to flash CWRecovery my PC stopped recognizing the tablet via USB. So obviously, I now can't use ODIN which kinda sucks.
The tablet lights up when I plug it in (Red X on battery icon, but that's understandable - although, it does that on the wall charger too), but the PC does not respond at all. No change in Device Manager.
Things I've tried or noted:
I have tried it on multiple machines and multiple ports
I bought and tried a new UBS cable
I bought and replaced the charging port
I have tried Kies, different drivers, etc.
Rebooting tablet/PC
With/without USB Debugging enabled
Any help would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!

Don't use Kies.
Download Samsung USB driver & install it, then may be restart your PC.
If you use MS Windows download ODIN.
If you use Mac or Linux download Heimdall instead of ODIN.
Download the ROM.
Set your GT-N8013 to Download Mode (ODIN mode).
Connect your your GT-N8013 to your PC.
READ the instruction for FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM!

Cant connect to Windows 10 laptop

I installed everything I can think of and my laptop wont recognize my s6 after upgrading to WIN10. Kies v3, check. smart switch, check. Reinstall drivers using smart switch, check. When I plug in the USB cable it charges, but nothing happens on the screen. Cant transfer files or tether. Really frustrating. Any help appreciated
I have win10 as well. The phone is recognized immediately az a storage device and also Odin works without issues. You can try a different port or cable.
I'm having the exact same issue with my samsung s6 (samsung-sm-g920a). After installing WIN10, I haven't been able to connection via phone > laptop. I can send files from the laptop to the phone though, but not the other way around. I've tried putting my cord in all the ports but it won't work.
cant connect s6 to windows 10 via usb
I'm having the s ame issues
Did you try to reinstall the ADB drivers?
