Galaxy S3 on 4.3 with Samsung Custom

I have rooted many phones but DO NOT consider myself an expert in any way but after countless hours on the search, I am just STUCK And seriously frustrated. Here is my complicated story.
I was rooted but without a custom ROM. In the progress upgraded to 4.3 OTA. Since then my phone has been on the decline...the WI-FI does not turn on, the GPS is erratic, and now I cannot connect via USB to anything.
I have done everything imaginable and suggested to my PC (WIN8) as well as the phone. I cannot connect via ODIN nor KIES as I cannot get the USB to work.
In ODIN Mode I have:
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: Enable
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1
I would prefer to downgrade although I have read this is not an option at this point.
to have functional Wi-Fi and USB connectivity would be great to have again.
Please help!!!
Is my phone considered to be SOFT-Bricked?

Try a new cable and/or a different USB port.
Also kies3 is required. The old kies will not connect to any 4.3 or higher android device. Make sure you have the latest drivers as well

Also make sure you have USB debugging on. Go to settings and about phone. Tap on the version several timea and it will bring out the developer options.

Go on kies make sure your phone in UNplugged then click connection trouble shoot. Same thing was happening to me on windows 8 so I temporarily went back to 7. It looks like the drivers get messed up if you go from lets say the download mode drivers to the normal drivers. It seemed like every time before I connected my phone I had to do that.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
I have tried three different cables, installed Kies 3, two different computer and multiple ports on both systems with all the phone settings as suggested. I now get the following message when connected to the USB cable: USB Device not recognized. Device malfunctioned and Windows (8) does not recognize it. I have removed all software, reinstalled phone drivers.
Sooo frustrating!

Why do you want to connect to kies? It has 4.1.2 it will always fail the flash for us 4.3 people. Use the Verizon updater or odin. Just a fyi kies will never say it recognizes the phone in downloadmode.

My problem is I cannot get the computer to recognize the phone. I have tried using the code to get into Qualcomm PhoneUtils but I guess I am not sure if that applies to my model phone. This would allow me to confirm the USB settings (MTB?) of the phone.
At this point, any connection would be a HUGE step forward.
Thanks for your help.

You can boot up the phone to a useable state correct?

Yes, the phone is operational; that is to say it makes and receives calls. The Wi-Fi does not turn on and the GPS is very erratic. I have not found any other problems yet, but I am sure that they must be others....

That sucks at least you can make calls. Hope you figure it out. Maybe it has something to do with your warranty bit.

Just one more thought. I know you said you tried everything but did you try a factory reset then on first login when Google asks to import saved data like WiFi settings uncheck the box?

Galaxy S3 on 4.3 with Samsung Custom ** FIXED **
This appears to be the fix to my problems.

[Q] Device isn't recognized by the Computer.

Hello everyone!
So, the problem is, when i connect my Nexus 5 into the Computer (via USB cable) the computer doesn't seem to recognize the device...
by "doesn't recognize" I mean not even in Device Manager, The only thing it does is charging up the device.
I tried many things such as:
*Factory Resetting my Device
*Different Computers (one of them is brand new laptop running windows 8.1, another one is normal running windows 7)
*tried to install driver solutions from a Nexus Toolkit
*swapping USB cables / ports on the PC
*Selecting MTP / PTP and plugging / unplugging between
Info:
I'm on a brand new laptop running Windows OS 8.1
My device is rooted and running a flashed zip of Lolipop 5.0
I'm using TWRP Recovery.
I tried looking for a solution in the web including this forum but I can't seem to figure it out.
If by any chance you know the solution to this problem please inform me of it, Thanks alot!

Try going to "settings"
"storage"
Menu. Click the 3 buttons top right under the time (this is the menu button)
"Choose USB computer connection"
Change from MTP to PTP and see if the device shows up in device manager. Then change it back to MTP and see if it showed up in device manager. If it does on either uninstall what ever driver is installed and reboot computer. Then connect device to PC and see if computer recognizes your phone, if it does let it finish installing and browse to device manager and install the USB drivers put out by google here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html or alternatively use the naked drivers here http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...r-solves-your-adb-driver-problems-on-windows/
I found that simply plugging and unplugging usb while looking at device manager you can find out what usb it is.
Finally if you could not find out anything above, I had an issue where my usb connection was full of lint from my pocket. The cable was not seating properly inside the phone from the lint obstruction. I could not get the USB drivers or my phone to charge properly. It kept disconnecting and I eventually cleaned the phone with a q-tip and a toothpick, sometime the phone connector could bend so you could try to bend it back, mine has been good every since. I'm not saying shove something in it and bend it/break it. I'm simply saying to lightly clean it or pry it up so that it makes a better connection and make sure that your USB is properly seated.

well i tried what you just said, it didn't work sadly but I just tried to connect it to my cousin PC and it worked properly
so I guess its something about the computer... Do you know any possible solution? thanks for trying anyway

I had a LG phone driver before that didn't allow my NEXUS 5 to be recognized once before, I think i solved it by connecting my old phone to the PC and uninstalled drivers via device manager. Other than that dude I'd just have to tinker until I figured it out.

Try plugging the phone into a usb 2 0 port if your comp has one. Some people have had issues using a 3.0 port.

Turn off USB Debugging (if you haven't already, assuming it's on) and see if it works. Probably not, but it does happen to some people

It seems like you've tried all the steps i know of. Have you tried plugging another device into the comp to make sure it's not hardware issue on the comps side? You could also live boot an Ubuntu CD and see if it's recognized with a different os.

the problem is due to win usb generic drivers that doesn't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/problem-pc-t2858740/post55059501#post55059501
follow these instructions then install google usb drivers http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Could be the serial bus controller in the comp is bad. If you have a USB stick laying around plug that in and see if the comp detects that. If it doesn't see any external devices its a defective component in the comp.

tried 2 sifferent USB sticks 1- 8GB (worked) one 64 GB (worked) and i tried an external hard drive 500GB (worked)
Its something to do with mobile phones only (atleast from the things i tried)

Is your computer an Acer?
---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------
You seem quick to dismiss an issue with your computer. I honestly believe it is the computer drivers. Even brand new there are pre installed drivers on your PC that could interfere with the Nexus 5. Its possible that its registered in the PC device manager as something other then nexus or under something other then USB or portable devices. I've seen this so many times. Its also possible that the phone or USB are malfunctioning but I don't think you've exhausted all options software wise yet.

my computer is a Lenovo brand, I tried everything i know, if you have any suggestions I will appreciate it alot thanks for helping me so far.

If you have USB 2 and 3 ports, try using USB 2. Short of that, its cables...

Well I tried USB 2.0 ports too it might be the cables although I tried 3 different ones but I'll try to get the one it worked with on another PC...

USB connecting problem.

Hello guys!
I have been using my 1+1 since september. Everything was allright! I have changed rom and kernel many times, so it means that i have got my ADB installed and know something about tweaking a phone. I say that, becouse last time i asked for a help, i heard only simple solutions. I already tried them all.
So, my problem is:
When i connect my phone to PC 1+1 start to charge, but PC can`t see him. I have tryed it on 4 different pc (all windows 8 or 8,1 (64)) and 2 different cables (native and my old one). All PC can`t even find 1+1 in device manager. Ofcourse i have confirmed USB-debugging, MTP etc. This problem suddenly appeared without a reason.
So i used native reset function and now my phone got no Root and Recovery. I don`t know what to do. Any ideas?

Any help. guys?

Still need help

Did you update your SDK?

If you're using the original USB cable that came with the phone try swapping it with a non-OPO cable.

test with another PC?

Two other OPO users had similar issues and it turned out to be the original cable. That is why I'm suggesting a different cable.

I have used another cable and 3 different PC. Still cant find my phone!
updated SDK but it didnt help

Weird. Try uninstall all driver. Then re-install back OPO driver. I think that is not cable issue since you have tried different pc and cable. Hmmm really weird.

@xanthrax need your help on this. Really weird problem. What do you think?
Just need your experience

i`m a bit confuse here
on the first post he says " after reset , no root no recovery"
what`s the status now ?
try pdanet app, it comes with universal adb drivers

i already installed reinstalled uninstalled drivers. i hae tryed all manipulations with drivers
etm my phone has no recovery or root, beacouse i did factory reset (thought it might help). so i cant install another rom (beacouse cant use abd fastboot or recovery)
any other ideas??
maybe its problem with phone usb port

Did you try like what xanthrax said? Try it first then let us know it help or not.

The next big thing happened to me is one day it got off suddenly and after that it nvr got on. On charging only the red battery logo comes with red led blinking and nothing happens even if i leave it charging for whole day.
Then i by passed battery and then connected cable then boot animation comes for a second.
So i doubt it might be faulty battery in our case or a typical hardware issue.
Actually this phone was not released in my country so i have ordered battery and it is arriving within 2 days. And you have btter chance to get the phone rectified by huawei. Also ask them what was the fault , it might help me if battery did not works.

PC doesn't recognize my Note 5 N920P

I'm having this issue with a Note 5 from Sprint, it charges well and OTG functions as well, but my pc only recognizes on Odin when it's on download mode, help please. It has root and twrp recovery, android 5.1.1. I've already tried the *#080# to change to MTP but it saids invalid MMI.

You could try powering off your note5 and then plugging it into your pc with it powered off. Then boot into recovery and your pc should give you a prompt that it will try to install the correct drivers. Not a 100% sure it will work but you can try it. Also what drivers did you download and install for your note 5 to be recognized by your pc? You could try theese if you haven't fixed your issue yet. Hope this helps.

When you plug your note 5 into your pc what does it display in device manger?

Nothing, nothing pops up, not evern a message saying that drivers couldn't be installed. Thanks for your help, I ended up selling it

Had same issue and would also not fast charge. MTP not being recognised and had to have Sprint replace it. Charge was $75 because I had no insurance but a complaint to Sprint that Samsung would not fix issue that was replicated by Sprint store allowed me to get a $75 credit on account, so a wash. Worth a shot.

Also, FYI i did send it back to Samsung to repair BUT they do not have the actual issue available in their issues dropdown area so they just put issue as "would not recognized charger" Well when repair received device they tested, saw it started to charge and just send it back out without fixing anything. Very frustrating but all worked out with device replacement.
