Unable to connect via USB to computer?

[darkcompgeek]

Okay, so I'm trying to plug my Verizon Note 3 into my laptop in order to transfer some photos and videos. However, there's no "USB Connected" notification that shows up on the phone, and the computer only recognizes "Samsung Android," and the drivers for it fail to install. The phone DOES charge, though.

My phone is rooted, so I unrooted by reinstalling the NC4 kitkat build via Odin. This didn't change anything. I've looked everywhere, and people keep saying "Go to storage settings and set to MTP only," but I don't see that setting...anywhere.

Since I rooted my phone, I have all the Samsung USB drivers, and I even have Kies installed. Turning off USB Debugging does nothing.

Is there any way to fix this?

I need to use a standard usb cable rather than the note 3 cable for mine to work.

I had the same problem with no solution, i ended up uninstalling Towel Root and then doing a factory restore to get back the USB connection capability on my phone.

Did you get the latest drivers from the Samsung website? I only ask because when I went to install a rom for the first time Odin wouldn't recognize my phone in download mode but did while I was booted up normally. Come to find out the drivers I was using that was linked on the page where I got instructions how to root and rom were old. I went onto the Samsung website and downloaded the latest drivers and all was well. Give it a shot.

Yeah, I've tried the USB drivers from Samsung's website. I also tried installing Kies. AFAIK, Kies automatically installs the latest drivers for Samsung devices, but when I plugged my phone into my computer, Kies wouldn't even recognize it. The new 4.4.4 update didn't fix the problem. Thanks for the suggestion though.
