Windows 8 not reading s3 at all - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Even with drivers installed the phone still wont get recognized. It charges. Just wont detect it. At one point it did. Then all i seen was that the usb connected notification on my phone kept disappearing and reapearing then eventually stopped. Any suggestions

I was unable to get my s3 recognized on W8 at first too untill i used the drivers on this page W8 Drivers
Uninstall any current drivers
Restart Computer
Install drivers from linked page
At this point I plugged in my phone and it went through the process of identifying and all that good stuff and still wouldn't be seen until i did another restart, all has been great since

Thanks for the reply but after i tried that it stll wont identify the phone

When you install the drivers for the phone, set compatibility mode to win7 and it should work fine. I personally think win8 sucks I got the pro version for $15 bucks thru that loophole when it first went on sale, used it for about a week and went back to win7 I have alot of games that won't work on win8 so **** that

Please help

I recently tried to put the DI18 modem on my 2.2 and it took me back to 2.1. So I went back to 2.2 and in th process I lost my root, and I'm getting force close messages. And I try to reroot my device to switch to a back up of my old 2.2 butnone of the drivers will work, and I've tried it on 3 computer 2 with 7 one wth xp and ill try on vista when my computer works. I've also tried the z4root app but it just force closes and does nothing. What can I do? Or does anyone have advice.... I posted this somewhere else and since I'm new I guess I put it on the wrong section

Uninstall the device from your computer via Device Manager. Then install the Sammy drivers, then plug your phone in.

[Q] Rooting with Windows XP?

So I plan on rooting my Epic to cwm3/ext4 and all, but the only PC I have in my house is a Windows XP. My question is, will the Samsung Drivers work on an old Windows XP computer, and if so, would you recommend it?
Thanks.

I think so I don't see it being a problem since the drivers are made for windows in general
So I think you'll be ok

I guess you're right. I'm just worried that it's too old. I'll probably hold off for a bit until I get further confirmations. Thanks though.
It will work fine on windows xp as long as your system recognizes your epic.

Windows XP is fine. Just install.the drivers.

The drivers work fine on XP/Vista/7.
I have one-clicked, odined, adb-ed and so on from both XP and 7 machines.
Easiest way to determine if your drivers are good is to run Odin and put your phone into download mode (boot holding the 1 key) and then plug it in. If a com port shows up in Odin you are good to go.

That's what my problem has been. The on click worked and mass storage works but when I try to put into download mode computer comes back with not recognized or malfunctioning so might just be the computer I'm not sure

Works on mine too, but i have 64bit windows 7. Not a huge fan of Kies tho.

I'm on Win7 64-bit and latest kies, says can't identify device or something like that.
Dont have an SGS2 yet, but i know my tab wont connect to kies unless I'm using stock launcher. If I'm using adw/launcherpro, it wont connect to kies at all. Thought I would mention this, just in case.
Kies not working surprise surprise.
Glad everything else is working brilliantly.

Ok, I uninstalled KIES and reinstalled the latest version found on here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Telephony-SMS-GSM/Kies.shtml
Now I connect just fine.
I cant even connect my device to my Vista pc in debugging mode.... My pc shows the two drives but I cant open them just says insert disk when I click on either????

Have you tried Kies Air?
Supposedly it works better with the phone and much easier.
It uses any web browsers to upload or down info into and out of your phone. Pretty awesome stuff.
I deleted twlauncher.apk as I don't intend to use it. Kies worked fine before and won't connect now. But Kies air works great.
Could someone post the twlauncher.apk for me so I can put it back for now.
Thanks

i think ill only use if there ever a update for phone as seems to be a dodgy program lol
I cant get it to work either. even with the version posted in the thread here i cant get past "connecting"
Is it possible to update firmware with Kies air? I tried it but it just seemed to be for transferring music/photos.
Honestly, Kies has never worked for me. Not on my Cappy nor my SGS and truthfully it doesn't really matter. There are so many other ways to do backups and transfers that work much better. Also if you are worried about updates, someone will have it posted within the hour.
Also the "keep connection" problem here.
It just gets no connection. Yesterday and before yesterday it was working (even with root) but now it's not working anymore...
Don't know why..

if the goal is to return to stock, why are you even messing around in recovery?? ... nvm. just read the thread i gave you. 100% positive that you'll make it this time. uninstall all drivers, reboot, then start the procedure, while efrant guides you to the light.
No I mean I can't even get to my pictures nothing shows up so there's no way to install the driver but thanks

I'm sorry, if you tested another usb cable and you're perfectly sure you have fastboot and drivers for fastboot interface correctly installed, and already learned how to use the android/nexus/google tools, like adb and fastboot, then I think you need to read some of this. read it all. please. so that you can enjoy your device.

Well i am new here so please what type of details you need..?
When you plug it in, does anything happen? Does it make a sound from the computer?
Does it show anything in Device Manager?
Are you using the Stock usb cable? Have you tried other cables? Tried all usb ports on the PC?
Have you tried on a different pc?
Wasn't trying to be rude, it just helps us help you when you include any details that you can think of. There can often be several causes to a given issue so it helps us narrow it down early on.
As for your current problem, are you also open to alternatives? Many if us use a wireless transfer app so we don't have to bother plugging in when we want to move a file.
I use FTP Server by Peter Pariet. Very lightweight, not a lot of features, but it does it's job quite well. Just a thought.
Otherwise, have you installed the usb drivers for your device yet? If not, this is why it won't connect.

Yeah when i plug it in it does makes a sound.. but there is no option coming in my phone about the usb storage.. i used many wires.. i used all the usb ports.. everything.. but i cant find the solution.. but there is an indication of sound when i connect my phone to computer in any of the usb ports..
Sounds like a driver problem. Uninstall then reinstall driver pkg. Reboot, plug in phone and go to device manager. Does it show up there? If it does, or if it shows as unknown, rightclick on it and reinstall drivers from there. Try connecting again.

I agree it sounds like a driver issue. If it still doesn't connect after you re-install, try shutting down your phone and pulling the battery for a few minutes. I had this problem once and this seemed to do the trick.

Gotta be patient man. We don't live here and don't always make it on every day, especially right when people want us to fix their problems. Not tryin to be rude to you, but you should give at a minimum, 24 hours before bumping your question.
I'm assuming you're asking about the driver reinstall, not how to pull the battery?
Uninstall driver pkg.
Plug in and open device manager.
Right click on the device and choose uninstall drivers
Reboot
Reinstall driver pkg
Plug in and try again.
