Hello all,
My co-worker attempted to flash a rom onto his Vibrant today and the problem he is having is that it boots the Samsung and Vibrant logos and the lcd has crazy lines and also makes squeaky sounds. I read up on Odin3 v1.00/TAR/PIT files and here is the problem that I am encountering.
I installed the drivers (32 bit on the desktop XP)
Odin it running with TAR and PIT files selected and ready to go.
I first plugged the USB into the desktop and phone while the battery is removed, and then hold the volume buttons. Once the battery is inserted I instantly get the "Downloading" mode with the digging Android.
Now XP first was installing the drivers as it should, then it has the phone as a unknown device. So Odin can't recognize the COM to flash the phone.
What are the options in this scenario?
Thank you.
Make sure to run odin as an admin (right click>run as admin) if you're using xp. It wouldn't work for me unless I did that.

I ran as admin. Odin isn't the problem the problem is the phone/windows not recognized the usb even though drivers are installed
Try the program in the development section.
How is another program going to solve windows not recognizing the damn phone?

yes this and get Odin 1.7 or higher 1.0 and 1.3 have compatibility problems
Follow the info in the Noob post in the Gen Section by S15274N
Or you can do a search on how to do on youtube there are some very good Videos that will help you.......
Good Luck
you need to download the All In One Toolbox (AIO toolbox) in the Development section and install the drivers that come in that program..its actually a button on the program UI that says "install drivers" the drivers found by windows automatically aren't the ones needed by Odin. That program actually walks you through Odin.
::thanks?::
After installing AIO same issues, prior to download mode it recognizes the phone and then as soon as I reboot into downloading mod it can't recognize the USB.
Any other ideas?

What ROM is your co-worker coming from? If it was CM7 or one of the 2.3.3 Roms, then you will need the Nexus S drivers installed on the pc for Odin to recognize the phone in DL mode.

Br1cK'd answered your question, he was on a 2.3.3 rom
you're using the wrong drivers
Yep that'll do it. Grab the Nexus S drivers from their forums, and you should be able to flash odin.

As in the nexus one drivers?
Sorry for being such a noob, this samsung isn't as easy as my cm7 mt3gs
No, not nexus one, the nexus s, different model. There's a nexus s forum here at xda. The drivers are in their dev section. I'd link you to it, but I'm on my phone, and its a p.i.t.a. from the phone.

Whenever you have the chance can you link me the drivers? I've been looking high and low and most drivers I found need the phone to be in fastboot which is nice and all but can't install a driver on a unknown device.
Let me correct my previous statement, its been a little while since I flashed a 2.3 rom, but I am fairly certain the driver files you need are part of the android 2.3 sdk. If you don't have it, you'll have to dl it, unless someone can post them for you. I won't be at a pc until tomorrow at the earliest.

So I downloaded the 2.3SDK tools and when its at the green battery charging all is well but as soon as downloading mode gets put on its an unknown device
man your coworker is doomed.... when pc doesnt recognize the phone and you install the drivers.... Phone's usb port is not working.... That happened to my vibrant 2 weeks ago... I sended to samsung waiting for their answer.....

I have been trying all day to connect my Vibrant to my pc. I have downloaded the Samsung drivers but still no good. I know i need the nexus s drivers, I think i have found them and i installed them.
I am running CM7 I want to go back to stock so i can send to t-mobile. I got all the files I need to Odin flash back to stock. I just cant get into download mode because I cant connect to my PC. Can anyone point my to the right nexus s drivers or something. I have searched google many times and searched these and the nexus s forums. The ones i installed I found at

Thanks in advanced.
Sincerely,

The Nexus S driver that ur supposed to install for CM7 can only be downloaded from the android SDK. u downloaded the actual nexus s drivers bundle, which have nothing to do with our vibrant, whether running CM7 or not.
The nexus s drivers (installed thru the SDK) allow our phone to be recognized by adb because it upgrades the drivers to be compatible with gingerbread
Assuming u have the SDK intalled, just open up the SDKmanager and update the USB driver.

I got revision 4 downloaded but i cant install it when i plug my " Android powered phone" in it does not see it in device manager.
I am using my brothers lg g2x cord to do all this i read somewhere that some people could not get it to work with other cords like a "4g cord".
Hmm I think we just found the problem lol. I've noticed a few people mention that other USB chords wont work for the vibrant. I never really had any trouble with any blackberry chords, but I've had two seperate LG chords that refuse to cooperate with the vibrant. One of them wouldn't even charge in my car.
I'd suggest to try using ur stock cable to connect it to the pc. That might just do the trick.

fix for USB connection problem for Vibrant with CM7
Thank you maoten,
The link you posted solved my problem.
I had the same problem after installing CM7; couldn't connect using ADB.
What I did was:
1. Downloaded the zip from the link you gave and unzipped into a local folder on my disk
2. Connected my Vibrant to the computer.
3. Right Clicked the Vibrant with the question mark in device manger > update drivers > selected the folder with the downloaded drivers.
4. Next... Next etc.
5. reconnected the Vibrant and now it is recognized as Android Phone / Android Composite ADB Interface.
6. (I also killed the ADB server by "adb kill-server" but I am not sure it's a must).
I might have missed the perfect advice in searching here and there, but I couldn't find it, so I'm asking here.
I tried applying a nightly build for Cyanogen for Vibrant and now the phone is basically bricked.
It starts up, shows the Vibrant logo, brightens a bit, then shows a screen that in a second or two fills with random color noise, then restarts. This cycle repeats until I pop out the battery.
My model apparently won't respond to vol/power keypress combos to activate recovery or download mode so that was out.
I bought a microUSB jig and was able to get in download mode but ODIN doesn't ever recognize it.
I tried the adbtool to send it into recovery but it doesn't see the phone either.
I tried the AIO Vibrant Toolbox to reinstall drivers/odin/etc and it didn't help.
Finally just watching device manager seems to indicate that plugging it in and out doesn't absolutely nothing. Windows XP never sees a connection. I tried on a Windows 7 machine with similar results.
Any suggestions? Out of warranty so that means no replacement.
Thanks.
Kermit Woodall
Since you flashed cm7 you will need to install the Nexus S drivers. The regular Vibrant drivers will not work so that is likely why ODIN wont recognize the device. If you can get into download mode you shouldn't be hard bricked. Here is a link to download the Nexus S drivers (I believe this is the one I used)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8116690/Nexus S drivers.zip you might have to manually install this.

This. If you are able to enter into Download Mode, you aren't bricked (unless you have a really really really bad luck).
This was extracted from the CM7 Q&A Thread on the Q&A section:
atinm said:
Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?
A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"
Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you isntalled the SDK

Thanks - I did try the above but when my phone is connected via USB the computer doesn't react at all. It's like I haven't plugged anything in. My other phone, a Nexus One, is recognized though.
Any ideas on how to force the install of these drivers before I have to pay connexion2005 for his services?

Uninstall Samsung drivers, reboot PC, install drivers from aio box found in sticky thread or from samsung website. It should work. Also try heimdall if odin still doesn't work.

Tried the uninstall - no luck.
One issue... I'm not sure that USB Debugging Mode was selected before this all started. Could that be my problem?
Kermit Woodall
Hi,
try a different usb port and different usb cable
No luck. I suspect that this unit has a slightly bad USB port as well. Fortunately unbricking is affordable so that's what I'll have to do.
Thanks everyone for your advice.

go to best buy, get a blackberry or HTC usb cord. most if the "bad" usb ports are the sh*T%y korean cords ( not knocking the people, just the company )
Thanks - I actually tried several USB cables - including some HTC and a Motorola one. None worked w/the phone - but worked fine with any other phone.

Before I begin, I should say that I am a n00b and I am new to android. That being said, I did a search through XDA and google and could not find a solution to my problem.
I am currently trying to flash cyanogenmod7 to my samsung fascinate using the cyanogenmod wiki guide.
I am trying to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I put my phone into download mode and plug it in to my computer (running windows 7 parallels) and it seems to not show up in the device listing in zadig. I've tried multiple times. The computer recognizes that it is connected to the phone initially, but then disappears.
Any suggestions? Thanks guys
see if you can get it to work using odin with section:3 of this guide. Just download the odin and samsung driver from steps 1&2 of section:1 then proceed to section 3. If that don't work then we have to determine what is causing the connection issue?

glitch v13 is awsome... you can find it on the market. the free version should be out anytime tho.
Computer wont recognize my device anymore. I have downloaded every set of drivers from this forum, from the samsung website, I even tried downloading kies but it wouldnt recognize it either.
It worked before I did the following and now it doesnt.
First I rooted my phone with route 66 everything was going fine until I made the huge mistake (not knowing) and downloaded rom manager so that I could do a nandroid backup. Well as we all know now, you cant do that. So I got the deadly uellow verizon triangle saying unauthorized software bring it to the store. So I went through the xda forums and found the one that told me how to fix it. I used odin with the alternate restore and got it back up and running. So I wanted to go back and use adams one click unlock and root. I got everything downloaded and ready. I put my phone in developer mode and plugged it in. It starts trying to find the drivers and then it flips from debugger mode to media mode everytime. It starts seeing it as everything but a samsung phone. It says found camera and even cd rom but not the phone. I have read through everything and tried everything I could think of but I am at a loss. PLEASE HELP

Turn off your phone, connect to your computer with the USB cord and turn back on your phone. It should start the drivers and connect to your device.

I tried that, it is still not seeing it like it is supposed to. I was able to get Odin to recognize it so that I could flash the rooted stock again but I can't get Casual Jailbreak to work. I'm not sure if it is because the drivers or not but I am guessing it has something to do with it. Every time I plug it in, it starts searching for drivers and then always switches from usb debugging mode to media mode. The checkmark is still in usb debugging but I don't think it actually is. You can watch it go from device as installer to media.
Are you using the driver install app (zadig i think its called) to install the heimdall driver on top of "gadget serial". Looking at your other post it seems like a driver issue. One thing ive noticed is, if odin can see the device then heimdalll cant and vice/versa. So if odin can see it you have the wrong driver, if you are infact installing the heimdall driver my second question is, does windows xp x64 use driver sig enforcement like win7 x64 does? if so you probably need to disable it. Just throwing my $0.02 out there.
Are you using the official USB cable? I had an aftermarket cable that had worked for months, then decided to quit working. It works with other devices just not the Note2. Changed to my original cable and all is well.

If it sees the device in the dumb verizon cd mode thing and ptp than it can see adb. Its not the cable. however i would try setting the usb debugging first than set it to camera mode. adb should still be able to pick it up

hey everyone, so ive have went thru all the threads i can find, done alot of research and have come up short. seems like alot of the users with the Verizon I605 Samsung Note 2 have the same problem, not connecting to their PC's.
-ive restarted both my note 2 and my PC numerous times.
-ive installed/uninstalled/re-installed the official Samsung website device drivers
-tried other USB ports
-tried up to 4 different USB/Mini USB cords
-made sure USB debugging was switched on
-Tried Samsung Kies, come to find out it doesn't support the I605 Note 2
-called Verizon and Samsung directly and both actually offered me a position as a tech after i told them all the things i did to figure it out, because it was way more then they could handle.
i know it has connected before, as i have done it once or twice a few weeks back but now it wont connect, drivers fail to install, and nothing else works. i have also tried every other method mentioned in the other threads. nothing has worked.
is there any fix for this? was it cause by the latest update?
im running 4.1.2/ VRAMC3
and im using Windows 7
please anyone lmk if there is a fix for this. ive exhausted all avenues known to me. thanks in advance.
Happened to me too, it's USB port in your computer. If you have any other computer or laptop try using that.
You can also try wireless connection for file transfer.

The appropriate forum would probably be more helpful.
Plus, are you getting any error messages? I've had issues with connecting the Sprint GN2. If I install the Samsung Drivers, I get a "Missing Hardware ID" error. I just found it's better not to install drivers. Let Windows install what drivers it can. Not all the drivers will install and will get an error message about device not successfully installed. But enough install that the GN2 will connect so you can move files around for MTP. See a thread I did back in December, linky
Also, you can try out SG Flash Drive Enabler. I've tried it out. It works pretty well. It has quirks, but does allow you to use your SDHC card as a flash drive. You have to use the MTP to access the phone's storage.
oh man...*face palm* sorry about posting in the wrong forum guys, i was about to crash and i didn't even realize. my mad.

You may want to use ToolKit. I believe it's setup for AT&T tool. Uninstall KIES and all the samsung driver on the your PC. Choose to have ToolKit install the drivers. It should get your enough connection for ADB to work and be able to root and install a custom recovery. I had to use it a couple days ago to get a custom recovery back on the GN2 and I was getting the Missing Hardware ID error and still worked.

ok so i downloaded the samsung drivers version 1.4.6.0 and followed the directions on the link i provided above. the drivers installed successfully, but the CASUAL(R515b) No You Verizon! program doesn't seem to see the phone connected to the computer. and just continually loops. sigh...this is getting to get stupid. such a simple task yet its not connecting.
EDIT: the drivers SAY they have installed successfully, but the computer still doesn't recognize the phone is connected. even reads on the phone that the software wasnt found to connect to the computers, and the CASUAL program also tells me that the phone isnt connected....sigh...seriously....WTF.
When you install your driver's on your pc you need to restart your pc...have you tryed that?

While Kies does not officially support the VZW Note 2 it is the only way me and my friends can get our PCs to see our Note 2s, that's the only reason I ask and it is usually par for course. Its what's suggested in these cases if it isn't already installed. It can hurt to give it a shot and see if it helps anything, if not you can just uninstall it again.

While Kies does not officially support the VZW Note 2 it is the only way me and my friends can get our PCs to see our Note 2s, that's the only reason I ask and it is usually par for course. Its what's suggested in these cases if it isn't already installed. It can hurt to give it a shot and see if it helps anything, if not you can just uninstall it again.
Also check out the OP in this thread:

And if that doesn't help you can always try the code in the last post of this page and see if it works:

ive redownloaded it, so ill give it another try. are you saying just have it downloaded and then do nothing with it? or do you somehow get it to connect? i mean just having it as a presents on the computer to have something else connect seems odd to me but hell im down for whatever at this point. ima load it up now and try.
