Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, changed ports, changing computers, USB debugging. everything, whats wrong?
I had similar problems, and did a system restore on my Windows 7 64 computer. Some updates didn't allow the phone to mount.
I'm not saying this is your case, but it's worth a shot.

ya, i am and i dont know what to do.
Now work shows the icon on my phone but it freezes when i click on it and i have to battery pull to get it back to normal.
Are you on a custom rom or stock? If custom, which rom?
i am on firefly 2.5
Hmm... Well its not the rom. Firefly 2.5 works fine for that. Any chance you've tried a different usb cable? Didn't see that in the op. Could be a bad pin/wire in the usb cable itself or on the connectors.
Also, no dirt/debris in the usb connection on the phone itself right?
Just to be clear the phone will charge when the usb is connected as well correct?
ya ive tried different cables, computers, roms everything i went into recovery with the usb plugged in and clicked mount usb and it works then but i dont want to do that every time.
still doesn't work after a few days

I had a cable issue when I first got my Captivate, and it was incredibly aggravating diagnosing the problem. The trouble was that with my USB cable the phone would charge just fine, but the computer would not recognize it. I assumed it was the phone or drivers--since the cable seemed good. At that point I didn't realize how precise the voltage has to be and stuff for the computer to recognize the phone. I tried my wife's cable, and everything worked fine, so I brought my cable back and AT&T gave me a new one. Not that this story helps you at all since you already tried a different cable...

ya thats exactly whats happening but i have two different cables and they both dont work
Is it all possible to swap cords with an AT&T store? I'm sure it's unlikely that both cords are fruity...but it'd be worth a try if possible.

I got the updated version of captivate from att center with froyo with gps fixed. Now two new issues: I rooted the older one and used titanium to back my datas.
Now with new one, I tried to restore two roadblock.
- Windows driver no longer works with this new version. I even removed the drivers from registry still no avail. (SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2.zip)
Once re-install then I choose USB storage version and driver installs but systems can not recognize the device and appears as unknown device in the device manager.
- One click root application can no longer recognizes this new version. This is the app I used to root and unroot the older captivate. GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models
However, I believe this might be due to the first problem, the driver is not being recognized.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

Well well... so I guess I'm not the only one with this "unrecognized USB drive" issue. I too exchanged my old one because of audio jack issue from at&t service center on September 3rd. The GPS is amazing but I cannot mount it as SD card. Tried everything regarding installing drivers. I tried all the USB port available on my system, still no go. Uninstall and removing every single trace of registry. Still no go for mounting as drive. The Max I can do is mount as MTP. But as soon as mount as storage, it pops up saying 'unrecognized USB drive'. I have literally invested more than 24 hrs without any fix. Only good thing about this is that the GPS is a killer. I drove from Indianapolis to Louisville and it didn't deviate even for a second from the route even when I sometime reached a speed of 90mph. If anyone know how to resolve the issue of mounting the phone as storage device without getting the USB error, your work will be highly appreciated.

Try a different USB cable. The one that comes with the Captivate stinks. I had no problem mounting my Captivate on my old computer (which is a Mac), but when I got a new iMac, my phone refused to mount. After several hours of screwing around, I tried the USB cable that came with my wife's Motorola Bravo. Damn thing mounted right up.
If I use the stock Samsung cable, nothing. If I use the Motorola cable, flawless.
Give it a try.

That will work for your situation

It has to be something with voltage. My Samsung USB cable (the one that came with the phone) worked just fine with my old computer. When I upgraded my computer, the cable no longer worked.
I did notice that if I plugged it into a USB hub instead of directly into the Mac, then the phone mounted...but the connection was slow and it dropped all the time, so it was basically unusable.
@guyenxda000...try a different cable before you decide it's not going to work. It actually might.
Okay, I had alternative cable in my car and brough home now i can connect. Now, phone is recognized if I choose kite usb mode, and can access sdcard if i choose usb. but still it is not responding to one-root-click application i mentioned earlier. is it not supposed to work with the newer captivates? if not, anyone knows an app to root it?

First, make sure you're not mounting the phone before trying to root it. Make sure USB debugging is turned on, then plug in the phone and just leave it like that. The root process won't run if you have the SD card mounted. Also, make sure you have the latest drivers. Then run your one-click root.
I used SuperOneClick on mine and it worked the first time. My build is an 1101, so newer phones might not be supported. I have no idea if it makes a difference or not.
Dude thx for ur effort for help. But all ur instructions seem to imply i am doing first time. If u read thru this post i already done successfully with my older version phone which means i must have followed all the steps u described. if u really meant to hlp can u clarify build 1101 u kentioned? If u do that it cn help me someway. Thx
okay lot of progress yesterday, but hit a roadblock.
changed new cable, i had to put the phone into debuggin mode, which I forgot. Now I tried one-click-root app, it does put the phone into recovery mode, but still fails to root saying e-signature verificaiton failed or something.
went through a hard manual way:
copied the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin into sdcard.
supposedly that should open the terminal emulator in super user mode so that i can mount the /dev/block/st19 into /system as a RW mode, which enables me to copy the other files such as superuser.apk into /system/app folder.
Howeer rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin does not seem to do the job. instruction says after 'spawn child' message restart the terminal emulator which should have turned into # command prompt rather than $. I believe # means enabled to do a root privileged stuff like remounting /system folder. Anyone has hit this roadblock? Thanks,
hey guys i have a usb connection problem with my galaxy note.. whenever i connect my phone to my pc the usb connection icon doesnt appear neither any message shows up on the pc, the only thing it does is charge the phone , i even used differnt usb , tried reflashing the rom , thoough im using a custom rom , but no success, but there is one thing when i phone is connected to the pc and during that interval i restart the phone a message appears on the pc at the boot screen ...unrecocnized device connected, as soon as phone proceeds it too disappears.....if you guys know anything about this kindly help me out.....i have to pull my sd card every time i need to put something in my phone
It's possibly due to condensation on micro USB port of your mobile. Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and keeping your phone under the sun or in dehumidifier.

Just clean it as is. You might be able to see the problem, but you will need a good magnifying glass or loop to see it.
I took some photos I found on the web of a dirty port and colored in the contamination I found on mine.

I have the exact same problem. My device doesn't get recognised by windows 7. It doesn't ask me if I want to use the phone as a pendrive. When plugged in, it only charges the phone. Sometimes the phone does not even realise that it has been plugged in at all. I dont think that its a problem with the pins because I have tried using an OTG and been able to connect to an external hard drive and copy files. Also I have been able to use PC Odin and flash a stock rom using a usb cable. This makes me think that all the pins are fine, and that its a software problem. Something has got glitched and not getting un-glitched lol!
Current Rom is the here

one thing you can try.. is to completely uninstall KIES off and remove all samsung usb drivers off your computer. When I say completely uninstall Kies, I mean totally removing it, from your system registry files and including Samsung folders that you can find in Program files or in program files x86..
After that, restart your computer and reinstall Kies and/or all samsung adb /usb drivers again.
Don't forget as well to plug your usb cable at the back of your PC since mostly USB ports coming from the back of it has strong usb signals than the ones at the front.
Hope this helps.
Don't forget to hit me up a 'Thank' if I've helped you some way or the other.
Cheers!

isolate the issue first...get another usb cable, and if you have another computer (aside from the one your normally using at), try to plug your phone on that computer and see if that pc will detect your phone.
If not still, then that's the time you can already consider that your phone might be the one having the issue.

Well I guess, that would prove the point that it could be your phone that might be having the issue bud. After all, you tried different options already but still came up with the same issue.
I'd suggest you may need to take your phone to SSC and have them check it.

Check what it shows as in Device Manager. Also try downloading the driver installer from here: www.adbdriver.com

This happened to 2 people I know and myself. My phone wouldn't charge when on, and would not connect to the computer at all. Not even charging. I tried new cables, different ports, but nothing worked. I sent it away for repair. I suspect it could be hardware failure somewhere as this is happening to a few people now. I would advise you to get it looked at. Still waiting on mine to be returned.
So I've run into a weird issue that was happening with my Atrix HD the last few days of its life too and now over to the note on my laptop.
I know this is probably a more computer specific problem, as it's recognized on my desktop but I'm running outta ideas here so maybe someone can help?
I've been flashing and rooting and all that jazz since android was released so I know how to work it and my thinkpad was accepting mtp/android connections as recently as september. I unlocked my Atrix HD bootloader and all that but couldn't get the phone to accept the twrp so eventually I just gave up because it was just a stop gap phone.
But now with my new Note 3, I can plug the phone to the laptop and it'll charge but it doesn't bring up the MTP notification (all my androids do this now)
I've checked device manager, it's not even an unknown device in the list..so weird.
Anyone run into this issue before? I know it's not really phone specific but yeah.
thanks in advance
Are you using it on a USB 3.0 port? My home pc only recognizes mine if it's plugged into USB 2.0. Fought this same fight last night myself. Good luck.

to both of you, my thinkpad (for some awful reason) doesn't have usb 3.0, so no there isn't any USB 3.0 issues.
Literally plug it into my laptop, and nothing. no response from the computer at all not even in device manager, just starts charging as if the phone was plugged into a low voltage socket or something.
baffling.
works absolutely fine on my desktop, but I don't have all my adb and sdk tools set up the way I like them on there.
I have no idea.

got it working
Had the same problem after trading in handset,maybe there is some kind of hardware identifier messing things up for usb?
I removed (uninstalled and deleted) drivers for usb, including for hub then reinstall hub drivers followed by reinstall driver option in Kies3 to install samsung drivers. This got everything working.

Your going to mess your phone up some kind of bad playing with those settings if you don't know what your doing. Also please don't recommend doing any of that without a trustworthy source because you can cause another person to mess up their phone as well.
The Note 3 does NOT support BC 1.1. That's what "Fast Charge" or whatever they call it is. Your phone will not use that connection so there is no workaround, just disable the BC 1.1 function.

Yes I stand corrected however I always mess with these settings in order to unlock 90% of the gsm galaxy lineup. This is just a different way of mounting your phone to the computer at least that is what I was told and have been doing for a while. I have tried all the methods on the note 3 and so far no problem. I have been using my phone like this for a while without any hiccups and I had this usb problem since day one on my SAMSUNG laptop so I tried this method which worked. You can easily switch back to the same setting but once again you might be right about the messing up your phone part. FYI MTP just stands for media trasnfer protocal I think so I went with it after a little research.
Just letting everyone know what worked for me no harm done

I tried installing the drivers from samsung with no luck and then tried this and no luck either. GOD DAMNIT! Why is google making it harder and harder to do this ****? Why can't it be as simple as moving files to another other usb drive like it used to be.
IT works!!it actually works..
what i did was,,download kies 3,supported kies for note 3, and go to Tools tab, and see the option "reinstall device driver" dont unplug your note 3,,and voila!!just wait a while, and see how the kies recognize ur note 3..:laugh:

Do you plug it in USB port 3.0 or in 2.0? Mine, either port are not working
Try using a USB hub,,, 2.0 or 3.0.... this will work......
Go to device manager then to USB find the Samsung driver uninstall. Plug your note 3 in then your system will see your note 3 and reinstall your drivers. Then your good to go.
