No computer will recognize my GS3? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello. No computer (PC or Mac) is recognizing my Galaxy S3. I decided to buy a USB jig and try it out. I turned off my phone and plugged it in. I waited about ten seconds and nothing happened. I'm trying to restore my phone to stock firmware with Odin. Can anyone help? Thanks, guys!

I finally got it working. Here's the process I did:
1. Download Kies
2. Install Drivers
3. Uninstall Kies
4. Install Heimdall
5. Run commands to unmount the Kies kext files
6. Continue the process.

usb device not recognized

I am trying to flash my Infuse in Odin however...
I have Samsung Mobile Drivers installed. When I have Odin up and ready and plug in the Infuse in download mode, windows says USB device not recognized.
also, when the phone is booted up, it will not charge, and windows will not recognize it either.
When booting into ClockworkMod Recovery it says:
E:Missing bitmap indeterminate2
same thing through indeterminate6
I have tried on different computers, with a few different micro USB cables
What the heck is wrong with this phone?
That happens to me a few days ago too. Windows used to recognize my phone, then without doing any change, windows wouldn't recognize at all, even after reinstalling Kies, trying different usb cable or USB port. What I did to solve the problem is that I turned on Kies first, then plug in the phone, windows would say it could not recognize the USB decide, then in Kies, I clicked on troubleshoot (or something like that), then Kies will reinstall the driver and then u can go back here and thank me. Lol. Hope it helped u

Didn't help. I think my USB port must just be done for...
Dang it

Help?

I tried to root my 4g sidekick with superoneclick, it said something I clicked root and it said http://imgur.com/qJHQY I clicked okay, all it did was freeze up and then now when i plug my phone into my computer it doesn't even recognize that its being plugged in. I can't transfer files or anything. I've tried factory restore but that does nothing either. Yes I have the drivers installed, My pc doesn't recognize anythings being plugged into it and neither does the phone. I've tested all my usb ports with other devices and they work just fine.

There was nothing that said Samsung Android but i uninstalled anything that said Android but still nothing, as I said my computers not even realizing i have anything plugged into it. But it recognizes other devices just fine
The phone is still booting? What USB mode do you have it in? It's under Applications in settings, and I believe you need it set to Kies to root it.
I've tried all the USB modes. The computer and phone itself isn't recognizing that it has a usb plugged into it. But yet it will take a charge. This all happened after trying to root the phone. I've never had an issue before.

Yes I had it in USB Debug mode. And Yes 50 bucks lol why interested?
If you don't hear the USB connection sound, there is nothing you can do on the PC side that will fix it. The phone is not acting like a USB device at all. Try plugging it in to the PC while the phone is in recovery mode or download mode.
Why yes i am lol

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

[Q] Tab 2 7.0 p3113 boot loop

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a used Samsung tab 2 7.0 p3113, consequently it appears it is stuck in boot loop. However, I can go into the download and recovery mode, but Odin will not recognize my device. It doesn't show up in any way or form on my laptop. Tried all usb ports, uninstalled and reinstalled kies. Does not show in device manager. I'm confident that if I can get the computer to recognize the device it is fixable. I also tried it on a win7 machine as I am running 8.1
Any help is appreciated.
I've only ever had luck on windows xp. But to me it seems like someone used Odin and may have permabricked it by repartitioning

was kies running? if so, it shouldn't
did your computer show any message when you plug the table? maybe is the cable

I suppose I will have to find a computer still running xp to try it out on.
the computer doesn't show any sign of recognizing the device. I have checked background processes for kies running. Simply cannot figure it out.

The device is listed as SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite devise.

Are you sure you have the correct firmware?
If it connects then doesn't connect, it might be a faulty USB port on the device or a faulty USB cable, if either is worn out it won't connect or stay connected.
