Pc not reading my s3

i.love.my.galaxy · Apr 20, 2014

K guys I have an S3 and its 4.3 stock rooted . For some reason my pc has stopped reading / recognizing it.

I remember it working fine at first being connected to my PC and the drivers installed on their own and it allowed me to transfer files between the two simply connected via USB. However one day this stopped happening and my computer does not recognise my S3 at all, i've uninstalled and installed USB drivers multiple times along with KIES with no luck at all.

My pc is also running windows 8 ver 8.1

Ive have tried searching this issue and all I keep getting is old reports from 2011! And nothing really solving the issue

Any advice / help / tips would be wonderful

Thanks

Have you tried to connect your S3 to another PC? With this test you can understand if the problem is with your PC or your phone.

I've had that issue with several PCs. Have you tried going into Developer Options and either enabling or disabling USB debugging? I've had some that like it enabled and some that don't. Actually my main PC goes back and forth on that one. Also, have you tried a different cable?

I'm having the same issue. USB debugging on or off, my S3 stopped being recognized by my PC. It used to be just fine. IIRC, when I installed the MK3 kernel from here was the last major change to my phone. I think it was sometime after that it stopped being recognized. Haven't found a solution.

Fixed

EDIT: Strange, just installed rev2 of that kernel and now I can access my phone's storage through my PC as I could before. Not sure what the change was but it worked.
