thanks,

Had the same issue once take the sd card and sim card out. Open odin before you connect your phone. With the phone off connect it to your pc and press and hold both the volume up and down. That should get you to the download screen. Make sure you open odin before you get the download screen or it will get hung up during flash

Did you install adb on the computer?, did you install the drivers for your phone?
Download Mode:
Power off phone, take out battery.
On PC, open ODIN and plug USB into PC (not the phone)
Put battery back in phone
Hold both volume keys... keep them held down and plug USB into phone
After MAYBE a second you should be in download mode.
load the pit and tar files and click start.
In my Noob guide I have this... you may want to try the ALT METHOD as this will give you root, JK2 froyo and the 2e recovery...
from that point, download Axura 2.2 to your PC, check the MD5 sum (also in the guide) to make sure its a good download, then move it to your internal so it looks like this:
sdcard/axura2.2
download rom manager, flash clockwork recovery, reboot into clockwork.
make a backup (so you have a stock you can always go back to)
flash the rom, reboot.
enjoy.
whats adb and also what is the alt method?
^ I referened the Noob guide in my signature for the ALT METHOD (the files to get froyo and root)... which you can backup and then flash axura 2.2 over.
ADB is only needed if you can't get into download mode. From your first post, you were not trying correctly... you should be able to get into download mode by following my previous post.
odin can still not recognize it maybe my phone isnt going into full download mode... should i just do adb... also can i load a whole rom through adb?
ok kies didnt work .... i didnt recognize it...... im trying to do it the adb way but when i put adb devices it still cant find it... i think my phone doesnt have debugging on....but i have no way to turn it on i just need to have the debugging and mass storage on and it should work i just dont know how to do that when i cant even get into my phone
Hei, Im new to the Samsung Android Phones but I have had HTC Android Phones since the G1 and until the HTC Desire HD and Xperia Arc.
But now Im stuck, I cant get niether Kies nor Odin to recognize my device, let me tell you how.
1. When I try to connect to Kies the *Android MTP driver* fail to install.
2. So Kies will go on an endless Connection journy and my devices tells me its connected.
I have reinstalled the drivers many time. tried with both USB-Debugging mode on and off and still no result.
Ok, but thats not the worst part because i could careless about Kies since my interrest is in rooting the device.
Now if my device is powered on and the USB-debugging mode is on Odin finds it (mark it as yellow)
but when I put the device is in Download mode Odin doesnt find it and I cant flash :'(
Im confussed, i've been going at it for days now with no results. help me please...
When you're in Odin, have you disabled Kies? Both the .exe and the system tray?
What's your current firmware?

I mean I close Kies when using Odin and vice versa. you think Kies is the reason for Odin not finding the device in download mode?

Turn Kies off = not running in taskbar .
USB debugging off reboot phone .
Open Odin select firmware connect phone via Samsung cable to a mainboard USB port .

Well frankly that MTP device error is a PITA, it happened for me with my S8500, did everything possible, couldn't solve it until I installed Win 7 x64. So may be a fresh OS installation could/should solve the problem.
If you can't do that Odin is the only option as you already know.
And make sure that you are pressing Vol Up+Home+Power button to enter Download mode and press the Vol Up key to continue.
Regards.
It seems that Im ably to enter Android System Recovery by pressing VolUp+Home+Power and Odin seems to find the devices find, but thats not Download Mode I guese, do I brick the phone if I flash from here via Odin?

You can't flash from Odin in recovery, and I'm not sure I've heard of anyone who can get recovery but not download. Something is FUBAR'd...
I'll let ithehappy and jj take over, they've more experience than me. But since you're in recovery, a factory reset seems logical.
Anybody have any idea? please help..
Did you try factory reset? And have installed the newest version of Kies, as opposed to re-installing old drivers?
Uninstall kies and the drivers
Download these driver
Install them
Put phone into download mode
Flash a rom or kernel using Odin
If this doesnt work
1) change USB ports
2) reboot computer
3) try another computer if you have one close by
Or if you have Clockworkmod recovery installed
4) boot into CWM recovery
5) connect phone to computer via USB
6) select mounts and storage
7) select mount USB storage
8) your phones internal SD card will now mount with the computer, copy a CWM flashable zip of what you want to flash to the phones sd card
9) go back to main menu
10) select install zip from sd card
11) select chose zip from sd card
12) flash!
Hey guys I have recently tried flashing the biohazard ics kernel thru clockwork but now that I've done that the phone won't boot but mow when i try to restore my previous rom it says there's an md5 mismatch and when i try to install a rom from the internal card I get a can't mount emmc message. Also since i installed the standard ice rom odin only read my phone when it was turned on. Have I bricked my phone???
If you can still get into download mode, you have not bricked your phone. Just flash an original firmware, root it and try again with the restoration.
I have the firmware but if odin won't detect my phone do i need to reinstall the drivers or get a new cable.

what do you mean if?? pls explain your situation more clearer
try reinstalling drivers. and before opening odin, kill all kies related tasks in task manager. then open odin. then connect phone while in download mode
whenever i was running the previous rom, odin would only detect my phone when it was booted normally but not when i would go into download mode and since i can't pull roms off my sd card because i get a can't mount /emms/ i've never gotten that error message before.
Don't connect your phone to odin, since you have no proper kernel installed Odin won't detect any drivers.
Go to recovery mode and reflash stock kernel stored on your phone(assuming you have stored a kernel).
If you haven't then use Heimdall Suite to flash recovery mode again, use link below for reference:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
i reinstalled the samsung drivers and heimdall doesn't detect my phone either :/
What is the "biohazard ics kernel" ?
Try a different cable, different usb port and different computer.
it's an ice cream sandwich kernel created by biohazard and ever since i cant't boot up and clockwork can't detect my removable sd which is where all my backup files and other roms are. I've already tried about 3 different cables and all ports the only other thing is to find a desktop and see if that works...I have a feeling i might have to buy another phone since my phone so far can't be detected in download mode anymore.
So what exactly happens when you put your phone into download mode (power off phone, then hold volume down and home button while booting it) then plug it into the computer?
Does the computer detect it, does it try to install drivers?
the computer detects it but odin won't detect it unless you've installed kies on your computer

Uninstall kies, download the samsung phone drivers from my 4shared (the 4icon in my sig), install them, put phone into download mode, plug into computer.
still no luck...

if you have root permission, you can use mobil odin. And on pc check your driver

Are you sure you have the Samsung drivers installed?
Else ODIN won't detect your phone.
Try to install drivers or try another USB cable, another port, another Odin version
