[Q] No USB connectivity.

How can I fix my problem of 'No USB connectivity' ?
My Samsung GS3 has stopped giving me the notification that I connected to my PC. It still charges, but I can't access my files. It's been happening for a few months. When I cable up, after a second, it chimes audibly (pong-ping), but the pitch fork icon for USB never shows, there is no notification, the PC never does anything. Drop box works, Wi-Fi works, NFC works, Phone works. Samsung model SCH-I535 running Android 4.1.1 on Verizon. I have not rooted, or ROM’ed but this may take me past that brink.
I've tried::
Numerous PCs and USB cables
USB debugging (& Stay awake & Unknown sources) checked and unchecked
Unmounted & remounted SD card
Asking the PC to look for new hardware
Removed and re-installed PC drivers both from Verizon
(Verizon_Wireless_I535_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe)
& from “Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit”
(SGS3_International_ToolKit_v6.0.exe)
:: but nothing has fixed it. :crying:
Please don’t tell me to use a Wi-Fi app, Kies, All Share Cast, or S Beam. I want my phone USB fixed.
Thanks;

What are you expecting to see when connected? The new Android o's doesn't mount the device as a drive letter - you have to access it via MTP. This means you won't see it as a drive. You need an MTP capable program to sync, or you can see the contents within the "portable device" entry.
Without proper, working MTP drivers, the phone may not show the connection. Under XP I had many issues getting the driver to work. I think other windows versions have similar issues. I had to force-load the drivers from the "eclipse" (I think) sub folder after extracting the files in the installer.

I fixed this by doing the following:
1. Reboot phone into download mode.
2. Plug phone into PC.
3. It should install some drivers at this point.
4. Remove phone from PC and remove battery to shut off phone.
5. Put battery back in and boot phone.
6. Plug phone into PC.
7. Profit??

Working, thanks!

As I tried 'download' mode, it worked, sort of, like you said. My PC found new hardware and installed MTP and ADB drivers. My procedure went more like this:
1. Remove phone from PC and remove battery to shut off phone.
2. Plug USB cable into PC.
3. Plug USB cable (other end) into phone.
4. Put battery back in and boot phone but…
5. As the phone boots, hold down Volume up and down
6. This should reboot phone into download mode.
7. PC should install some drivers at this point.
Phone was in safe mode, but another reboot changed that.
Their must be some magic in that old silk hat you found. Opps, sorry, wrong song. :victory:

sprint s5 ... cant access files on PC---help

I have a note 2 I currently use- when I plug the usb in - in windows 7 I get the option to view files etc....
I just bought a used sprint galaxy s5 from my ol ladys sister who had it hooked up at one of those corner wireless shops.
I want to root it but read to make sure your pc recognizes it first- which it does not.
Ive downloaded the latest usb drivers for the phone.
Ive enabled debugging mode.
Ive used the original supplied cord and also tried my note 2 cord.
When I plug it in it recognizes it and detects drivers but the phone does not show up under my computer and I dont get the window popup asking if I want to view files etc.
Getting really frustrated.
Any ideas?

When I plug the s5 into my pc and pull down the notification bar ...it doesnt even show usb connected.
I cant find any usb options other than usb debugging.
I just went through all this same crap with a galaxy mega a buddy had.
I just dont get why there is no "usb connected as" notification and why this is so complicated to connect to pc when my note connects fine

Bad cable? Maybe Bad Drivers? Where did you download them from? Windows is going to try to recognize it as a media device. Ill give you a couple tips
Just because the "popup window" doesnt popup, you probably just have auto play set to recognize it a certain way.
Just copy and paste this into your explorer window:
%windir%\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.AutoPlay
and then reset it for your phone.
Also.
1. Make sure the cable is actually connecting, like charging the phone, consistantly, not on and off. If it is, then you know thats good, if not, switch the usb drive you have the cable plugged into. USB Ports actually on the motherboard are the ones Ive always had luck with never disconnecting.
2. If you want to root your phone, and you want the adb drivers, Windows wont find those for you.

Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded the drivers straight from the windows usb driver dowload page for my phone from samsung.
Ive uninstalled reboot,installed rebooted.
Ive set usb debugging off/on.
Tried dialling *#0808# which ive read is the code to enable usb but it doest work it just calls the #.
Tried all my moyherboard usb ports
Tried different cable
The original cable charges fine.
This sg5 NEVER has a usb icon when connected to usb... i find that odd.
A samsung mega a buddy had which was also previously hooked up at the same wireless shop that this s5 was..... also has the same exact issue.... no usb icon and not recognised as media by windows and no way to change usb settings.
Its like that wireless shop disabled usb on there phones for some reason.
I had the phone 2 weeks and cant do anything with it untill I can root it.
My note 2 works fine , i get usb icon in notification area,i can switch to media device from there.
On the sg5 theres no usb icon even though it connects fine to the pc as installer
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Maybe Im misunderstanding you, but when I have my phone plugged into my pc there is no usb icon, its just connected as a media device and shows its charging. Both screenshots are of my phone while its plugged into my computer
When you plug it into your computer can you access the files on the phone through your windows explorer, like in the first screenshot?

Thanks for replying and the screenshots.
When my phone is plugged into the computer it shows the charging status but no "connected as media device" it doesnt show a connected as anything so nothing to touch for options.
The phone does not show up under windows explorer in my computer.
Ive been using galaxy phones since the original galaxy and never had issues like this.
I just dont get it

I'm similar issues...my phone will just time out in the middle of transfers or won't see the phone at all

Both of your issues sound like driver issues. Heres the link from Samsung for Windows for the S5
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G900PZKASPR

To make this issue stranger....
My neighbor came over to borrow juice for her ecig. I noticed she has an s5.
I ask if i can connect it to my computer and as soon as I plug it in with my s5 cable...bam ...connected as media device , touch for usb options.
And my computer brought up the screen to view files.
So i now know its not my pc,drivers, or cables.
I did however notice when I plugged my s5 in.... in the notification area where it would say touch for usb options.
It says "system update"
But i have no sim or service on the phone so it doesnt update.
Could the system update be needed for the usb to work?
How would i even update system ?its nolonger on sprint. I wouldnt want any more over the air updates anyway as im wanted to root so i can save a straight talk apn and probablly flash a custom rom

Yea... this is nuts.
This sprint s5 i got looks and performs like a brand new phone.
But cannot for the life of me get "connected as ......" to show when a usb is plugged in. When i search settings for "pc connection" , "media" , mtp" , usb" etc.....
Theres nothing I can find to enable how to connect when usb is connected.
I dont even know who or where to ask anymore.
Bought this phone weeks ago and cant do anything with it.
My neighbors s5 connects to my pc no problems. So does my note 2.
I just dont know anymore what else to do

i dont see where not having a sim would matter. does the usb port on your phone seem loose or anything? do you have access to another pc to try connecting to that?
ultimately you can get around most things that require needing a usb connection. theres even a wireless adb.
i doubt this will work either, but have you tried seeing if odin will recognize the phone in download mode? (power off the phone and press the power+home+volume down buttons)
also what version of android is on the phone now? if its still on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 then you might want to look into towelroot, but i think i remember reading thats not working with 5.0
as for rooting, you could try looking for a flashable update.zip , put it on a external sd card, put that in your phone and boot into recovery (power off the phone and press the power+home+volume up buttons) and flash it, then find a custom recovery like clockworkmod or philz touch or something
all in all im 99% sure theres a way to root the phone without having to do anything on a pc, its just a matter of finding a way to do it, and the before choosing a method to tell you to try, i need to know the android version. also im just assuming the model number is SM-G900P, is that right?
Go into your settings and tell me the
Software Version
Model Number
Android Version
and the Baseband Version

once factory reset...usb works fine.
Im now rooted and flashed MOAR
thanks for all who tried to help

Glad you got it figured out

USB Problems

My computer for some reason reminded itself of not recognizing my Idol 3 5'5 6045k. Two days ago it was all fine and now everytime i connect it to the computer it only charges. I've tried everything from changing usb cables to unistalling andthen installing the device drivers, enabling debugging, restaring either smartphone and computer. Everything I can think of. Please help me out, I'm trying to root the smartphone and without it recognizing I can't do anything, not even transfer files. :crying:

Obvious Question #1: Did you check the phone notification dropdown area to verify the phone is in MTP or PTP mode so it will show up on the pc? As for transfering files...you do have the option of loading up a microsd card with whatever files or installing a wifi adb app to connect wirelessly. You could even use an app like airdroid to let you do all sorts of things.

Therre's no notification after connecting the usb, it just charges the phone, seriously, I've tried everything to enable MTP but nothing does the job. And what do you mean by using an adb app? Can I root my smartphone by a wireless connection?

You are overcomplicating things. 1st...there is ALWAYS a notification in the dropdown that says what mode the phone is in....mtp, ptp, charge only or "cdrom mode" which installs the usb drivers. Pressing on that notification allows you to change the mode the device is in.
As for rooting....all you need to do that is to flash or boot TWRP (details on booting it are in the system image thread) and then flash the supersu zip from inside twrp to your device...reboot and done...but I think in the newer TWRP's they even offer options to root automatically...ie the zip is already built in. After rebooting to your phone you install the supersu apk from google play so you can configure what apps have superuser access.

Your telling me when the phone is plugged into the pc you don't see the notifications below or some version of them at all? If so then you need to fully uninstall the devices in device manager including remove the drivers...then use the drivers in the system image thread (since you obviously can't use the ones from "cd rom mode" which would be the best solution). USB debugging isn't even an issue yet...your phone should still show up to the pc as a camera device (ptp) under just about ANY scenario using even built in windows drivers.

Thanks for all those tips, but I already tried that out aswell, 2 times to be precise, deleted all the drivers, rebooted pc and smartphone, tried different cables, but still nothing ever occurs.

Have you tried a different cable? Perhaps that one is damaged or is only setup for charging? Only thing I can think of.
And then I realize you mentioned that Not sure what else would prevent it from giving you those options.

I'm also facing similar issue after the 2 update. Were you able to fix this?

Which kind of USB cable(s) have you tried specifically? Were they cheap eBay/generic kinds or well known branded ones?
Something as little as a Micro USB cable can cure a lot of problems. It needs to be a well built one by a known manufacturer to avoid problems.

Actually I've been having pretty good luck with the $1 ones from Dollar Tree but the key is certainly to try multiple cables....on some the microusb plug will make it difficult to get a solid connection especially if you have a case on the phone.

You may be missing the point of "trying" different cables. It's not so much the "quality" of the cable, it's the fact that some cables are for "power only", and "will not" transfer data, regardless of how hard you try.
You need to be using a "proven" data/power cable, otherwise your beating your head against the table for nothing.
Just to add, I put a piece of red tape on all my usb cables that are power only, no guess work.

I own idol3/moto g 2015 and s3, have no problem with other 2 device. I'm having this MTP issue after the UE40 update. Verified in all 3 OS, adb is detecting the device but not MTP/PTP. Idol3 support is not worthy responses.

Well, USB works fine here, and I've had 5 different rom's, 2 Canadian, 2 US, and the Chinese rom, on this phone without any USB issues, sorry, can't help any further.

After a complete wipe and restore, it worked.

I had the same problem as well. It only showed charging when I plugged in the USB cable. Tried switching cables, turning off and on USB debugging but nothing worked. I finally just rebooted the phone and then it worked again. Strange that it suddenly stopped.

I have a different issue; the different USB modes work fine but I don't have the 'cdrom' option in the USB mode dialog. I've tried various Alcatel ADB drivers that I have found and none are working, using Win7 64. My Idol 3 4.7 is 6039I (US).

Answered my own question, simply install the Mobile Upgrade Q software.

nope, doesn't show up. it's a bug. i had it before, googled until i found a fix and got it working, now it's back to not being recognized. nothing shows on drop down menu.

Screen doesn't work and I need to get my pictures off

Hi there, My nexus 5 is having screen issues and the screen basically doesn't function due to what I can only assume is a bad connection on the mainboard ( if I press in the right area with the back cover off the screen will flicker and work a tiny bit if I reboot the phone.) My issue is I still have tons of pictures that are very dear to me on the device and need to get them off of it. When I connect it to my pc (windows 7) it connects and shows up as a nexus 5 device but nothing will appear in the folder. Im fairly certain I have the correct drivers installed as well. So how can I get it to connect properly with having basically no access to the screen? Ill even paypal you $5 if your answer works for me, thanks

Did you enable USB debugging? Did you enable MTP when connected to a computer? Is the computer a trusted device?

must have at some point because i connected it to a computer in the past, no idea and i dont know how to, and i dont know.

If the the phone is running a stock ROM and has a lock screen PIN, pattern, or password, you probably need to unlock the phone and select MTP as the USB option in order to have the Nexus 5 files appear in Windows Explorer.
If you have access to another N5, you could swap motherboards, copy the data, and swap motherboards again.

Urgent: need backup of A8 2018 with broken/black screen for upcoming court case.

I'm helping a friend who needs backup of her broken phone for an upcoming court case.
I need to extract all photos (camera, snapchat etc) and text messages (sms/mms).
The phone seems to be working other than the screen and touch controls.
Replacing/repairing the screen isn't an option as we both have minimal funds, and my friend has a new phone already)
i have "access" to the phone, but neither USB Debughing nor MTP is enabled so i cannot access any files.
I'm able to unlock it with a keyboard connected (i hear the little unlock click after entering the pin, and the "turn off screen" click when i press the power button.) But i have to navigate blindly, and any guide i find seems arbitrary how to get to settings, it says to press win+n (same as pulling down the quick settings menu from home) and press tab an arbitrary number of times to get to the settings gear in the corner. i tried doing this on my own working note 10 plus with the external keyboard, but i see it scrolls through every notification, so unless you know the number of notifications, hitting the gear is just pure luck.
I have also tried hooking up a usb-c to hdmi dongle (which works and starts dex on my n10+) but it says no signal on the A80, so external monitor seems out of the question.
Is there a consistent way to enter settings, or any way to enable the following settings:
* enable voice assistant (accessibility settings so i can hear where i am and navigate using voice/sound)
* enable USB MTP (or similar so i atleast can access files from a computer)
* enable USB debugging (to use ADB to screenmirror and/or etc)
* alternatively clear notifications so entering settings should become consistant with number of keypresses
I have tried some apps like dr fone but it doesnt support backup from this model, and any other settings wants to wipe the phone.
I have tried holding both volume buttons to enable google voice assist, but also unsure if this ever worked
The phone is not on wifi and i am not 100% sure if wifi is enabled at the moment, nor if it has the current wifi password my friend uses, but i can try do do things from there if internet access will help.
I dont think google now nor bixby (if this phone has that) is enabled as i dont get any reply or voice ding while pressing the win key (home button normally on working android)
I think i can enter recovery and download modes, i got COM5 on odin, but I'm unsure if i ever get into recovery menu.. but even then, is there any custom recovery firmware that will enable usb mtp access at all for this device?
Also, I'm not able to have a computer connected at the same time as a keyboard as I'm using a wired keyboard with OTG adapter.
Tl;dr:
Have:
* A80 with broken unresponsive screen.
* Have access blindly through otg keyboard
Need:
* Need to enable mtp and/or usb debug (alt. Voice assist)
* Need consistent way to access settings
Both MUST be done using only wired otg keyboard.
Tried:
* Hdmi out (no signal)
* computer recovery software (no dice)
* having computer and keyboard connected simultaneously (keyboard works, pc doesnt recognize, could be dongle)
Hope someone can help me (us) fast.

USB MTP is just file tranfer?
F.ex. if i use smartswitch on pc, it first tells me to unlock the phone, if i unlock the phone with the otg keyboard and reconnect it it says i cannot tranfer files because MTP is not enabled in settings.

sorry man, i meant MHL adapter.

As far as i found out, A8 does not support MHL/HDMI out..
guess ill spend the weekend to try to get voice assist working by blind trail and error :/
If anyone could provide screenshots of the settings menu and/or recovery menu (and if its possible to enter without touching the screen, and if so how) that would be greatly appreciated.
The phone should be mostly completely stock set up, but home icons might have moved and menu icons might not be in the same place, but i think the pull down menu should be the same as any stock setup, so a screenshot of that would be nice too

Hi
As far as Android goes, by unlocking the phone and plugging it into a computer then you should be able to view the files on the phone from the PC like any USB drive. What you can also do is use Samsung Smart Switch and do a backup of the phone on a PC as this will be able to pull all text messages, photos, etc into a backup folder. Then you can restore any part of that backup on another Samsung phone, including messages.
There may be a few things that will not transfer over. As far as viewing the photos and other files, you can navigate to the backup folder on the PC and check everything there. This is all provided that the phone actually works and is unlocked.

As stated in my original post, usb-MTP (file transfer) is not enabled by default, and my friend never connected the phone to a computer, so i have to enable it to be able to access anything.
The phone connects and seems to work fine except the display, smart switch says to enable mtp pn the phone to transfer files after i unlock it, so my problem is activating talkback so i have aural navigation help so i can turn on usb/mtp for file transfer(and hopefully adb) or to turn on usb directly, but i think talckback is the highest priority as it will help me navigate the phone and be sure of where i am, an accidental keypress on can ruin a long sequence and i would have to start again from scratch as i cannot know if im in the same location.

Hi.
Any update on this? I have exactly the same problem and no solution so far...
Thanks
