Option 3 worked for me
I had the same problem and tried all the above but nothing worked.
I then tried my old USB cable from my Note 1 and hey presto it is work properly now… I hope this might help some of you
There must be something wrong with new USB cables
How do I dial *#7284# ? where are these symbols *?
activating usb debug mode under settings -> apps and dev -> usb debug mode
nothing works in my case..
Option 5 worked for me too.
Option 5 worked for me thank you.
I was using a generic USB cable with no luck, tried the official Samsung cable that connects the wall plug to the phone for charging and hey presto connected straight away.
