[Q] HELP!! Can't Get ODIN to Recognize Vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not able to get ODIN or Kies to recognize the device. I am able to use adb to reboot into recovery or clockwork. I have tried going into Download Mode while ODIN was started and also I have tried before I started ODIN .... same result. Please Help ... I thank you in advance

Have you installed the drivers on your computer?

the drivers have been installed.
although it doesn't install the driver for the Samsung Android USB Modem
but they must work because i am able to use adb

anybody got any advice for me?
I've searched the forums and tried everything they say to try to no avail.
Any sense of direction would be appreciated

Odin isn't working

I've been lurking these forums for awhile now, and have been able to figure things out by researching. But I'm having a little trouble with this. Earlier today I was flashing Nero V3, and had a bad flash(after it finished formatting data). Instead of reflashing another rom while in CWR, I rebooted the phone. This brought me to where I am now, stuck at the Vibrant screen. I can get into DL mode, and get Odin up and running. But Odin wont recognize my phone, and I dont know what to do to get it to work.
I've tried 2 versions of Odin with the same results, and at this point I'm stumped. What can I do to get Odin to recognize my phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Do you have the PC drivers for your phone installed?
If not try installing the drivers from here:
32 Bit Windows Download | 64 Bit Windows Download
Also, if you have Kies running by chance, it might help to close Kies and not run it while also trying to run Odin.
After making sure your drivers are installed correctly try multiple USB ports. Sometimes the ports are troublesome.
Can your Vibrant be recognized by your computer outside of Odin? If so what version of Odin are you working with?
guess that was the problem. I had them downloaded, just not installed. Thank you.
Hi I installed the drivers and pc still doesnt recognized my phone in download mode. Is there a way to get back to stock without using Odin?
Dude try this method of getting intro download mode.
1.remove the battery from your phone
2.plug the phone in USB to your computer
3.reinstall the battery in your phone while holding the phones power & volume buttons.
That should skip the vibrant screen and power strait to download mode..hope this helps

Soft Bricked Tab with CWM 5.5.04

Hi all,
Need your advice on a semi-bricked tab.
I tried flashing CM10 on it with CWM 5.5.04 and it is stucked at the loading screen.
I am able to enter CWM now and also the download mode.
However, there isn't any firmware in the tablet and I have no idea on how to mount my external SD card using CWM.
I've tried ODIN but the PC is unable to detect the tablet in download mode.
Please advice...
(PS. it belongs to a pal. So kindly advice as I would love to return the tablet to him in working condition)
You prob already tried this but change the usb port try one round the back of pc . Also try installing odin with Samsung drivers etc .

Hi gordonx10i, sadly that didn't work.
Managed to resovle the issue by doing a couple of factory reset and worked well.
However, on both of my PC (XP and Win7), they now have a 'USB Device Not Recognized' message everytime I plug the tablet in.
Tried:
1. uninstall + reinstall Kies
2. uninstall and reinstall samsung driver
But to no avail. Unless I can resolve this, else odin will not work..

[Q] help! flashing cwm went wrong

hi everybody!
this is my first post.. hope someone can help me.
i just rooted the galaxy s2 and wanted to install cwm by factory recovery. That went wrong, i guess a wrong file. Now im stuck in a boot loop. I cant enter recovery mode, only the download mode. So tried to connect my phone with the pc to use Odin, but it doesnt recognize the device (never did not even before this brick). Installed kies and tried every driverinstall but no succes, it gave me code 43. i have windows 7..
so.. no recovery, no usb.. what can i do? im almost desperate.

Try another computer then. Your phone gets detected even if no driver is installed. As long as the computer does not detect at least an unkown USB device no driver will bring you any further.
