I have searched forums for this but haven't found a real solution, so can you guys help me out please? Odin doesn't detect my phone (i think this happened after my friend put the "Speedmod" kernel on) and also i can't flash from recovery, that's the 2nd problem.
About phone:
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100XXKG1
Kernel version: 2 6 35 7 hardcore speedmod #s2-k1-t8-300hz
Build number: GINGERBREAD XXKG1
I'm new to sgs2 from DHD, would you need usb debugging enabled to connect?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I have USB debugging enabled in Development section. I forgot to say - i can't flash from recovery because i get this message in recovery mode:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Can i now resolve this somehow? (and mostly the Odin not detecting it). Or put stock kernel back? I would like to then flash new mod - one with BLN.
Ah, you haven't flashed the ZImage from your rooted kernel, that's why signature related error is there.
Regards.
Thank you very much i will search and do this for verification issue. What about Odin not detecting it? Isn't that a bigger issue?

Can you connect your phone to Kies? If not, then drivers are not installed. And make sure that you are pressing the Vol Up in download mode to continue
I installed USB drivers again yesterday. Also, prior to Speedmod Odin did detect the phone in download mode. Maybe there lies the problem?
I can't connect to Kies and i installed drivers right from the start and then again yesterday.
Unplug, disable usb debugging, reconnect to pc, run kies

Have you tried diffrent USB exits on your computer? And make sure that kies not running when you start up Odin.
Ok, it now connects to Kies. I think There's a GT-I9100 text in the upper left corner. 3 minutes ago it was still "connecting ad infinitum". So i suppose it is connected now. Next step is to just download the latest firmware and flash it? Just to be sure, this won't brick the phone, because it is already rooted. I also made a backup with Titanium.
You can also do a nandroidbackup in CWM. Just go to back up and restore.
Did the backup in CWM (it said backup from 19 days ago, it was still connecting with Odin back then). It ran through the "yellow text", then i picked Reboot...
back in the system the About is still the same config,same kernel etc. I've put it into download mode, exited Kies ofcourse, ran Odin - and still nothing. Like the phone is not there.
Ok maybe i don't need Odin, for now, maybe i can do it (flash kernels, roms) through ROM Manager, but i do need to get rid of the E: failed to verify whole signature, otherwise i can't even chose "update.zip" (well i can choose it but it just stops midway - or 1/3way through)
Jesus guys sorry this is a lot for me...
Can you tell me please step by step how to:
first flash new firmware, kernel? Latest firmare or kernel? So i get into the mode where Odin will work again hopefully...
Are sure that kies not running? Because Odin doesn`t like kies. Go to your taskmanager at your computer and check if there are some kies stuff that running.
I checked again, Kies ain't running. The strange thins is, before flashing with speedmod kernel, when in download mode, the phone was found in Odin, but not after that - i have speedmod kernel for 10 days lets say, and yesterday i tried Odin and it just doesn't work (anymore)
Should i flash the ZImage through recovery mode? So that i can then flash new kernel with recovery mode? If that's how it goes at all. Or is recovery mode just for ROMS?
(ROMs, kernels, firmwares - ayayayay...)
I think you flash kernels,radio etc thru Odin and rom:s thru recovery.
There's a message i got when i download mode, the tray shows a USB icon and i click it and it says: USB Device Not Recognized
- USB Root Hub (10 ports)
- Unused Port
- Generic USB Hub (3 ports)
- Unknown Device
- USB Composite Device
- USB Composite Device
- Unused Port
- Unused Port
- etc...
and "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
Come on phone, show me some life :/
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...
lemme start by saying what i did that caused the problem
i installed PFittech 1.0.4 and everything was moving fine untill touchwiz began FCing alot. i dont use touchwiz anyway (as i had set Apex to default) so i thought i could remove it safely without any reprocussions. i used titanium backup to do a force uninstall but the phone rebooted into a black screen. I cannot get into recovery move at all so i tried to reflash the kernel in hopes that my recovery would be fixed.. I got into download mode just fine but neither odin or windows can connect to my phone
i really need help because nothing from the other posts related to this topic is working, i followed a few other posts and nothing is making odin pick up my device in download mode
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work:-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again. Also run Windoze Update.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. If it doesn't work first try on the other PC, go through the above steps on that PC as well.

dont have another pc available so im stuck with this one, tried other USB cables, tried running odin as administrator, tried uninstalling n reinstalling kies, tried another version of odin (1.87)
nothing is working -_-
i should mention that when i attempt to boot normally, the PC is able to discover the drivers and connect to the device. even MTP connects and im able to view the contents of my phone's memory (for some reason, its all 0MB in size)
based on my readings, havent heard anyone having my specific symptoms for my phone.. im getting more and more depressed because i use my phone so much and now that its down and i cant fix it.. just feeling sad :crying:
and all this because i tried to uninstall touchwiz.. :crying:
ok this is what i will try doing
since my PC recognizes my phone only when it boots normally, i will try to flash a recovery image by dropping it on my SD card, then flashing it using droid explorer's "flash recovery image" option - REALLY hope this works
EDIT
nope - not working, even after flashing using droid explorer phone reboots into black screen, no recovery, no nothing..
i recently tried odin3 v 3.04 and odin still doesnt detect my phone in download mode.. drivers are still saying "unknown device" when i boot into download mode.. ive uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted both pc and phone so many times i just feel helpless right now.. like i should just give up and buy a new phone
Need this question answered
does odin pic up the ID:COM on a device whether it is in download mode or not? based on what i read here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1484607.htm
odin is capable of picking up on an ID:COM even if the device isnt in download mode - in my case, odin isnt picking it up at all nd as is, windows is still able to pick up my device if i boot it normally and load MTP and the correct drivers
24 hours now since problem occured and i have made no progress whatsoever.. feeling like giving up.. dont know what to do, and dont think anyone can help me anymore -_-
After 26 hrs of talking to myself and dedication - i finally solved my problem.. i decided to update my windows base and cleared the registry on all installations and all current associated drivers, reinstalled kies, updated new drivers and when connected my phone which was in download mode my phone connected as a "gadget serial" device.. with this - odin was able to pick up on my phone and i flashed a new kernel + recovery.. with that flashed back my rom and bam - back to status

Just an observation... isn't this more or less what MistahBungle said to do in his post in his last suggestion? (short of clearing the registry entries, which is a good idea as well.)

honestly, i tried everything he suggested, but i suppose without the windows update + updating the USB drivers through kies (not download them by themself) - i possibly wouldnt have been successful. i read a tutorial that told me that kies could put my phone into download mode for an update - so what i did was clear registry, uninstall all current drivers and manually made kies reinstall them.. then after that, connected my phone while it was on (with the screen still blank) and selected the option to peform firmware update from kies (which put my phone into download mode) from there, when my phone got into download mode the new drivers loaded up and thats when odin was able to connect
in my situation, the constant plugging out and plugging in and hoping windows by itself could pick up the drivers never helped at all.. few people stated that i didnt need kies and that it interferes with it so what i did was only install the drivers and got rid of kies.. however in my case if not for kies i wouldnt have been able to connect to odin
Hello,
When I turn on my phone, I get an error: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I thought that I use ODIN 1.85 to flash a new ROM, but when I connect my phone to computer "USB device not recognized" shows up, and ODIN does not detect my phone.
I tried installed Kies with drivers, closed kies and nothing. Uninstalled Kies and istalled samsung drivers only - nothing. Tried 3 different computers with Win XP to Win 8 - nothing. Tried 3 different cables, including samsung original - Odin still not detecting.
and you do pass through dowload mode to flash with odin?
did you try factory reset? and then check again if it's recognized by PC ?

Can't get into recovery mode to do factory reset. Same error as described before.
Can get into download mode, but odin won't recognize,
you should try a JIG
Open Windows Task Manager and check for two Kies-related processes. I don't remember their full names, but they both have Kies in their names. Then download a different ROM with ODIN 3.04 and flash as usual. Also connect the phone to a USB port at the back of the PC (the ones that are straight on the motherboard) and don't use the additional ports as they also cause issues sometimes.
The same issue happened to me twice and both times that's how I solved it.

Don't have any kies related processes. I have used 3 different computers (2 laptops, 1 pc) and still nothing. Have to take phone to repair shop, I think.
Hi All,
I am having an issue with my S4 that when I plug them into my computer I get USB device not recognized. I have searched the forum for the past 2 days trying all kinds of different solutions the major one was changing my USB/charging port board on my phone.
I need to ODIN my device to an MJ7 image. At first I got the error and did a factory reset through safestrap recover. Still got the error so I did an advance wipe of every option. (Looking back shouldnt have done that) That took away my recovery, but I can get to download mode, but its not detected by my computer to use ODIN with. So I am stuck without a custom recovery without the ability to boot into anything.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Reinstall/uninstall drivers, reinstall/uninstall kies.
2. Changed USB ports on computer.
3. Changed USB cables
4. Changed computers from Win 8 x64 to Win 7 x64.
5. Changed computer to my MACbook using Heimdall.
6. Changed USB charging port board on my phone.
7. Tried everything again. *Still doesnt detect it*
Any ideas that I havent done already, or how to fix? I do have nandroid backup of my ROM, but dont have a custom recovery to flash it.
Cant ODIN back cause its not detected by my computer. Thanks in advance for your help.
Is USB debugging still checked on phone? You must use the USB cable provided with phone...
safestrap enabled, Hyperdrive driven
Thanks for the reply. I cant select USB debug on my phone because my phone does not boot into the main OS, it is stuck at the samsung custom padlock screen. The USB debug option was on when the OS was installed though. My phone will only boot into stock recovery and into download mode. I tried to use the original USB cable provided with the phone as I read this could be the problem, but I tried 4 other ones too and phone still gets detected as "Unknown Device" in device manager, so ODIN cant even see phone in download mode to restore. I have tried to install KIES and the Samsung Mobile phone drivers 1.5.x.x drivers. Just read somewhere where someone had this issue and installed Samsung mobile phone driver v1-4-6-0 so I am trying that now.

Tried Samsung Mobile phone drivers version 1.4.6.0 and still the same outcome "USB device not recognized". I went down to a local electronics store and bought two different brand microUSB data cables. Tried them both along with my original one from samsung, and still the same result. Any other ideas??
Anyone else have any ideas? Thinking of sending it in and having it JTAG'ed back to stock. Can anyone recommend any services? Heard mobiletechvideos is good.
