My phone cannot connect to my computer via USB anymore, as in the drop-down option does not appear at all. I've reset my computer, reset and wiped my phone to factory settings, but to no avail.

I have tested it with numerous USB cables, and they all seem to only charge the phone, not put it into USB mode.

I have downloaded and installed the drivers multiple times on many computers.

I have tried with debugging enabled and with out

Can anyone be so kind as to give me some advice, or what steps I can take myself to fix this?

No, I copied and pasted the above question because I'm having the exact problem.

I have tried multiple pc's and a mac. No use.

I really haven't reverted back to factory reset yet, and I rather not.
My phone is rooted so I'm scared to take it back to the store.

I could do a factory reset and take it back, but won't I loose all my contacts if I do that.

if contacts been saved in your google account it wont be erased, you'll have them back once you log in to you google account. it will be erased permanently only if it's saved to your sd card,.. if you are rooted it means that you had your usb working then,.. maybe it occurs when you did root your phone,.. if you do a hard reset (factory reset) try rooting it again and see if it fix the problem

and yup don't hand your rooted phone to a metro rep,.. :rolleyes:
