In order to flash my SGS2 with an KE7 rooted kernel (XWKE7 is the kernel when I purchased my device) I tried to install the drivers for Windows 7.
I have a clean Windows 7 VMware session on my Macbook (I don't have a Windows PC, but everything which works under ̇Windows natively also works in VMware session) , set USB debugging OFF on my Galaxy and plugged it int the USB. Then Windows started with 'Finding device drivers' , but it says 'Mobile MTP device: failed' .
On Mac OSX (10.7) it works normally and Kies connects. Of course, I have connected the USB port to the VMware session when using Windows.
And I installed Kies to enforce device driver installation but that didn't help. Moreover, KIES appeared in RED under W7.
Then I tried again under an XP SP3 VMware session, same issue.
Should I first install the drivers before proceeding to Odin or can I use Odin now ? I am reluctant to try as I am scared for 'partially flashing and bricking' the device.
Of course, I'll close Kies before starting Odin as they don't like each other.
Does somebody have any ideas ?

As far as i know, kies automatically installs the drivers for the SGSii when u install it...
Hmm id just try putting the phone in download mode and plug it into the computer with odin open, if the com7/yellow box shows up in odin id say you are good. If not, then yeah. You are good as long as you don't flash anything , you can just pull the battery from the phone to get out of download mode again WHILE ITS NOT FLASHING anything of course .
Just my 2 cents.
Drivers are always needed, without it how would the phone connect?
Luckily Odin simply will not work without the correct USB drivers .
Usb drivers can be found in the Kies folder in program files .

Thanks. But in that folder C:/Program Files/Samsung/USB Drivers are a lot of numbered / named subfolders.
Which should I choose ?

Thanks, now Windows 7 recognizes the driver and is properly installed.
Then I started the real thing with Odin.
I started Odin, restarted the Galaxy in download mode, connected the USB port and let windows choose the USB , but did see nothing in the Odin screen it was connected. I did dot try further and did not flash as I was not sure whether it is really connected.
I do not see any yellow part of the window.
The phone says 'Downloading...' while I did not start.
So I pulled the battery and restarted the phone in normal mode, so I can just do another try.
Here a screenshot with the phone pluggen in in download mode:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

And this is what Windows shows when Galaxy is connected in 'normal' mode:
That is *not* shown when in dowload mode, very weird.
Device not connected if no yellow block at ID.Com
Turn phone off .
Reboot PC.
Start PC start Phone go to wireless in settings /USB connect usb connect Samsung usb cable and let windows find drivers exit and follow instructions to download mode .
That fails turn on or if its on off USB debugging in settings applications development .
Make sure you follow the instructions on the phones download screen .

Hi guyz, i just bought sgs2 yesterday, previously i've been using SGS for the past 8 months
No matter what i do, i can't get Odin to detect my SGS2 in download mode.. !

but the weird thing is, it detects the phone if its in 'switch on' mode
These are what i've done:
- installed kies
- installed driver from kies
- factory reset sgs2
Info:
* i even reformat my Windows 7 (i thought it gets conflict with my previous SGS driver) and started everything from fresh but still fail
* Kies detects my phone, i can browse contacts etc. but Odin still fail to detect in download mode
* my phone is a branded O2 Ireland. Sim free
* i've tried on other PC but still fail
Please help me, i lost hope.. i just want to Root my phone
Did you try a different usb cable? And did you close all kies programs?
Alt+Crtl+delete >> Taskmanager >> Processes and terminate everything with kies in the name.
Did you try with usb debugging off and on?

You can try heimdall
Does windows see the phone drives via USB mass storage mode ..If not its your USB drivers and thats what Odin requires .
Tried a different Odin Odin3 v1.3 always worked for me .

i think im the only one that noticed this
are you running windows 7 through OSX ?
EDIT : yes you are i can see the macbook air lable
are u really trying to update a phone through a virtual box ????
these are very delicate things for example flashing my router through mozilla can brick it
do u have any access to a pc running windows ?
So I've been trying for quite awhile to bring my player back. I was trying to develop my kernel with it and it just plummeted to it's death eventually. I found a DD dump somewhere of another device and flashed it, which I guess might not have been exactly the right file and now here we stand.
The device doesn't turn on, I don't get any "SAMSUNG" boot logo - nothing. It comes up in windows as
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now from the research I've done, that should be the "lucky unbrickable" state. The device does nothing, but still shows up in windows. I've tried unbrickable on windows 7, windows 7 via a ubuntu VM, and went as far as to setup a dedicated desktop with ubuntu natively and a windows XP VM. I can only get my player to react on the native linux desktop, but it enters download mode really strangely -
YouTube video of it being "resurrected"-
http://youtu.be/WDclUEyoHFE?hd=1
And after that I lose USB (although the device stays on and powered up as long as I leave it connected). I tried connecting the device to my XP VM which is what everything says to do, and I get "No USB devices connected" in virtualbox. Dmesg gives me "unable to enumerate USB device on port 1, device descriptor read/8, error -71" as soon as download mode initiates.
Every time I've done this whole process before, it's worked wonderfully and you can continue on and flash your bootloaders, then reflash everything else. I've tried this whole process over and over and over and haven't had any success. I also tried a USB jig and it didn't do a single thing.
Can anyone provide ANY insight? I'm really open to anything right now, otherwise it's out for JTAGing. I'm about at whits end with it and I'm out of ideas.
THANKS!
If it "worked perfectly before" in this configuration, your pb is mostly related to Samsung win 7 drivers that are not reachable or "lost".
try to reinstall them and check their availabilty connecting another Samsung device (ask your friends);
note: For me under win 7 , I installed ubuntu as second boot with windows and I forgot the Virtual box trick, that's much simpler and I can learn linux when I have free time...
Good Luck

My windows 7 computer connects fine to my galaxy s3. I just root/recovery/rom/kernel'd it a few days ago from that computer, so everything seems to be working as it should.
Have you tried heimdall on your linux machine? Like this you would not need to disconnect your player at all and you would avoid using virtualbox.

has it worked for you ?
Have you installed the heimdall drivers? Like went into the drivers folder, ran zidag and replaced your "SAMSUNG COMPOSITE USB" or something like that with the first driver? That may make heimdall recognize it.

Yep, tried that a few times. I was using heimdall before so the drivers should be kosher for it.
It's almost like once it enters download mode the hardware isn't cooperating. I've also gone as far as trying every previous version of UnBrickable thinking one might work better, but I've gotten the same result with all the versions. Download mode shows up and then it drops all connectivity.
It connects fine with HTC sync, but I can't find my phone in "my computer". What am I doing wrong? I'm running Vista 32bit, btw.
now sync can't even find my phone. I tried all the usb ports on my tower, it's a fresh install of Vista that is up to date, tried reinstalling the sync program, installed some mtp drivers I found on the Microsoft site. USB debugging on and off, nothing works! and it's the stock Rom, just with some mods. ATT phone btw. any suggestions? mtp stinks btw...... I wanna flash some roms darn it!
May I suggest something to you? Uninstall all your current drivers and also remove HTC Sync, then try to follow this step-to-step guide : HERE or a more complete one HERE. If you need help or precision I will be glad to assist you.
Well i fallowed your walk through and still no luck. Im sure its not the chord i tried 3 different ones, including the the one that came wit the phone. :crying: Im completely at a loss....

you might have to connect directly from usb like the ports in the back of the pc rather then the ones in the front. also try using a different computer and see if it works or not.
well I just about given up. the issue isn't solely with my computer, as it connects just fine with every other usb device in my house, iphone, gs3, digital camera, etc. so up its an issue primarily with my phone or both my pc and phone. I haven't had a chance to try my phone on another computer yet, can't get mtp working on ubuntu. or maybe it does work, and my phones just messed up. maybe something I did, I need to stop messing with system files :laugh:. BUT I had an epiphany, ADB over WiFi, I found a bunch of apps, they all mention running apps and debugging, but can they be used as a replacement for adb via usb? can I use adb Wi-Fi to push a kernel and or recovery?
Well I made some headway! I FINALLY got my computer to at least recognize my phone. I did this control panel>add hardware and manually installing the drivers that way. SO now in device manager Android phone (sdk drivers) and HTC MTP device, finally show up. I get a code 10 on both those deives, BUT when I scan for hardware the drivers from the phone begin to install, how ever they fail to install. MY brain is beat from this, can some help give me the next little push to finally ending this debacle!?
May I ask if you have administrator privileges on your computer? On Vista this a prerogative, you MUST be an administrator otherwise the installation will fail.
Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Control Panel window opens click on the Uninstall a program (If you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel, then you would double-click on the Programs and Features icon instead.) -> The screen contains a list of the programs installed on your computer, locate everything starting with HTC and uninstall all of them.
Make sure your phone is not plugged in. Reboot your computer.
Download this file containing the Vista 32bit drivers. Put this file on your Desktop.
Plug your phone. Use Device Manager to install the driver.
Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
In the Tasks pane, click Device Manager.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
In Device Manager, locate the Android USB or MTP Device for which we want to install the driver.
Right-click the device, and then click Update Driver Software.
Click Browse my computer for driver software, click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and then click Have Disk.
In the Install From Disk dialog box, click Browse, locate in the file you just downloaded an androidusb.inf and then click Open.
Follow the steps in the Update Driver Software Device Name dialog box to update the driver.
Reboot your computer.
Lets see the results.
NoobDude i may be beating a dead horse here but Ubuntu 13.04(even in the beta which i use as a daily os) has mtp out of the box maybe try that and install sdk, java , adb fastboot.
if lucky thirteens suggestion doesn't work, I'll try that next. cheers gents!
Lucky thirteens post didn't work at all, when i tried to update the drives I would get an error. Either that the driver wasn't compatible or the the current driver was up to date. I haven't tried updating to Ubuntu 13.4 yet. BUT, I kinda made some headway again. After several reboots and trying different things I get this, what you see in the first picture. SUCCESS!, Oh wai....(refer to second picture)..... When i plug my phone in via a USB (on the back of the computer), i get NOTHING. Sooo. One X+ FOR SALE! :laugh: :crying:

There is a universal driver from Koushik Dutta (dev of CWM). This worked on my Win8 x64 PC (nothing else would).
At least it shows my device when I type adb devices.
See if that works.
Google for it. I am not sure if I am allowed to attach the file here - hence not attaching. I also have forgotton / not saved the link. It was in his google+ post...
See if that helps
Okk the link was first when I googled .

Hello,
I would like to root my Z5C, but I can't load the phone in fastboot mode.
I tried the following :
adb reboot bootloader (with my phone one, with usb debug)
the phone shut down completely, but nothing is displayed on the screen
power up + volume up (from my phone shutdowned)
there are three vibrations, and sometimes the logo Xperia appears for a few second, but then the screen show the charging icon
power down + plug usb (from my phone shutdowned)
nothing appends
each time, I tried the following command to check if the phone was indeed in fastboot mode :
fastboot devices
but I get nothing (empty list).
Could you help me please?
thanks in advance.
As far as I know, only the led will light up. The display stays black. Have you looked in the device manager if your device is recognized there. Maybe as an unknown device etc?
then I probably don't have the correct driver. I installed this one
developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z5-compact-driver
Do you know where I can find the correct driver?
In device manager, I see a new item when I plug my phone :
USB mass storage device
I tried to update the driver with the one mentioned before, but it says that it is already up to date.

You've got some commands wrong. Volume up plus power is hard reset. You get 3 vibrations then phone is off.
To get into fastboot mode or flash mode you do not use power button and phone needs to be off. Simply hold volume up and plug in USB for fastboot mode, or hold volume down plus plug in USB for flash mode. Blue LED for fastboot and green LED for flash mode.
This is the best option for install and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118

but when I tried to update the driver, I get a message error saying
windows could not find driver software for your device.I run out of option (I might try this with linux, but I have no machine running under linux right now).
try forcing install of the driver by selecting the unknow device/detected phone and update/install driver by "find software driver in pc" then "choose manually driver from a driver list" then "driver disk" button on the right, "explore" and go the folder and select the downloaded driver. Be sure to install the correct driver described in the guides.

I suppose that by explore you mean Have disk.
I tried to select the usb driver directory, and I get the following error :

Heyo
Following situation:
I tried to root and flash my old Sony Xperia Z3 compact which I have been using as an mp3 player. I successfully did so (I think), however when I wiped my data to flash to linage os, it gave me error 7. I assumed it was because my TWRP version was way out of date so I updated that, and hit "reboot into recovery" to activate the new twrp version.
Unfortunately the phone didn't boot into recovery and just wound up stuck at the sony screen without anything else since no OS is installed.
I can't boot into recovery manually either, it just boots into the sony logo and gets stuck there.
I do have a backup in twrp but I can't install that since I can't get into recovery, and I can't manually access the storage since usb debugging is not active while on the sony startup screen.
Is there anything I can do or is my z3c rip?
I can connect the phone in fastboot and flashmode and flashtool does recognize it, however I can't really seem to do anything while in flashmode and fastboot mode doesn't work since flashtool tells me I don't have the right drivers for the device, however when I try to install the driveres it hands out an error message

If your using Windows 10 you'll probably need a Windows 7 virtual machine if you don't have a physical PC with Windows 7 already installed. That or you'll need to turn on test mode for Windows

I've attatched 4 screenshots in my OP, thats all I see, it doesn't actually state what the error is, just that it didn't finish.
Will it go through with win7? Actually that aside, is there a way to force a new os onto the phone via the flashtool to begin with?
Since your Windows computer needs to recognize the Xperia z3 based on Qualcomm chipset once connected, the PC should have installed proper USB drivers. which in no case depends on Windows version or Windows edition. You have to obtain the USB drivers and also the ADB / Fastboot drivers from OEM's / Carrier's website. It's never a good idea to install the ADB / Fastboot drivers elsewhere offered on WEB.
And once installed, restart the PC.
If successful then use

My carrier doesn't offer any drivers whatsoever.
But all of that aside, even if I do get fastboot running, is there even a way to force a new OS onto the phone via some tool?
