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 :/

i used odin to flash eugene froyo rom
then i tried to flash back to jfd but odin failed
then i tried to flash ji6 and odin failed
after a couple of tries i restarted my pc and my phone
i plugged my phone in while download mode and my pc no longer recognizes it neither does odin.
i have:
reinstalled drivers
different pc's
different usb cables
and still no luck..and now my phone is stuck in download mode..any ideas.
update: my pc now calls it gadget serial not unknown device but it still isnt recognized/installing
update: since my pc went from recognizing it as a unknown device to a gadget serial device after a few tries device manager lets me install the drivers..
so now i can use odin..odd case solved
I'm screwed! I was installing

and something happened in Odin3 and it froze, so I took the battery out and tried to restart it and now all I get is a blue and yellow screen that says Android System Recovery. I don't have anything backed up on the device, it didn't come with a microSD card, and it now says

Also, now the USB cable doesn't recognize my phone for some reason so when I go back to ODIN mode it says

When I try to restart the phone, it goes straight to the android recovery screen mentioned above, where I can't do anything, and then when I get into the Odin mode, it won't recognize the usb cable so I can link up to Odin3 V1.83 on the computer. Also tried the usb cable on other computers didn't find my phone. Also, as of right now it's not rooted, but I was in the process of rooting, when I realized I missed the Over the Air step so when I Odin3 an insecure.TAR file the WIFI was broke so S2 Root kept saying can't find usb connection even though it was connected, and somewhere along the line when I was trying to restore the radio's by installing the 3 files above, when it crashed something messed up? Now I can't do anything. PLEASE HELP
SO I AM STUCK! Please help????????

I know this topic is old, but I am essentially having the same problem, I don't think it was really solved for the first guy, he can't flash the original rom using odin, because odin doesn't recognize his phone. And that is my issue too, I'm able to get into download mode/odin mode whatever, I plug in the usb cable, nothing, odin doesn't recognize it, I don't get a little sound like I do when I usually plug in a usb cable. Please any ideas would be appreciated.

Try different versions of Odin (for example, if you're using V4, try V3 1.3 & V3 1.85 and vice versa), try different USB ports (particularly if you're using a port attached to a hub. You need to use a powered port), different USB cables & finally different PC's/different versions of Windoze if you need to.
Also, when you fire up Odin, check Task Manager in Windoze & make absolutely certain Kies or any processes associated with it (if you're not sure what these are, Google/search for them) are not running at the same time. As I've said, you need the drivers that come with Kies to use Odin, but Odin won't work if Kies or anything associated with it is running at the same time.
Try uninstalling Kies on your PC (you need the drivers that come with Kies for Odin to work), rebooting, reinstalling Kies (search for it), rebooting.
If none of that works try cleaning the USB socket of the phone a Q-tip (cotton bud) & some isopropyl alcohol. And if that doesn't work, it might be a case of the USB circuitry of the phone being shot (unless you haven't tried the above steps or are not following the right steps, which we'll never know because we're not there with you).
Was also having the same problem. I managed to get round it by flashing an I9100 package with all the files (PDA, PHONE, BOOT, CSC, PIT) and ticking re-partition. If I'm right, this completely wipes the phone and flashes this over, basically leaving you on a fresh slate.
Hope I helped!

Using PIT files is not recommended more brick a phone by flashing PIT than rescue it .

Yes usb debugging is on but it still wont pick it up in downloading mode.
Try a different computer or try using a different version of odin3. I use version 1.85 and it works perfectly with my galaxy player and my friends s2
Sent by my Robot Butler
First of all, make sure you've got the right version of odin that works with your device. I can't remember which one it is, but searching the forums for player, odin version should get you the answer you need.
Also, if you've used heimdall before (and installed the libusb drivers for it) you'll need to turn heimdall's usb driver off.
If you haven't used heimdall before, you might want to try that instead of Odin. I've never had any luck flashing a kernel/rom with Odin, but heimdall works for me every time.

Galaxy S3 not being recognized in odin in download mode
Could someone please assist.
My rooted Galaxy S3 phone (FW v4.1.2) is stuck at the Samsung startup screen after installing a font app from the app store
To resolve I have tried:
1. The recovery screen - doing a factory reset and reboot
2.. Reflash through ODIN.
I can get get the phone into download mode but ODIN will not recognize the phone in Download mode (Funny that phone is recognised by Odin at the stuck Samsung boot screen)
- I have unistalled and reinstalled KIES and USB drivers
- I am using the stock USB cable
- Tried different USB ports on computer
- Tried on different computers
The problem may be Windows driver related. Because phone gets stuck at the Samsung startup screen, all processes of driver installation do not conclude successful. "MTP USB Device" shows error in Windows Device manager, USB composite deivce.
Uninstalled and reinstalled these a couple of times without success.

Issues with usb on s3
Actually fixed my own Question....
My phone was in download mode and was not being recognized by my computer my windows 7 computer. I pressed the usb icon, where a box popped up saying that there was an unknown device. You could find this in device manager.
I then went to device manager to update the driver instead of pointing the device directly to the driver when i clicked browse my computer for software then it shows a location and option to let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a box pops up showing model above that there is a little check box uncheck that two boxes will appear with manufacturer and model
Scroll samsung electronics and model samsung mobile composite device that is what you want to update the driver to...
I pulled the battery then re-entered download mode and windows to over installing the rest now it works fine. I would attach images but it will not let me for some reason. if anyone can help with that I will do it later.
THIS COULD POSSIBLY help with devices not being found on computers in bootloader or just on rom loaded and running..

Hey guys, i know it's a bit late now, but i had exactly the same problem with my gt-i9300 (got stuck on samsung splash screen and odin didn't recognize it in download mode) and just realised that everytime, i connected my phone to my PC in download mode, a message would appear that "Gadget Device" (or something like that) was connected. Then i searched in my device manager for the name of it (i found it under USB-Devices) and uninstalled the driver of it. As i connected it again with odin started it would install the driver automatically and *swoosh* odin recognized it.
A year and some later after the last post and I seem to be having this problem as well... I believe it was due to a bad flash at very low battery level which ended up in encryption failure ya da da, factory reset, clear/format everything and flash custom rom from SD because any other connection would not work.... then managed to get windows (many flavors inc. 7, 8 and 10) to connect as MTP or in USB debugging mode but Odin mode (download) just won't do anything... i put the phone in DL mode, nothing happens, no windows connection sounds, no changes in devices manager, even when searching for new hardware. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has had anything like that. I'd really like to flash stock to go back to a custom rom, flash twrp to replace cwm but all seems to no avail if i can't get a connection while in DL mode.
tried to install adb fastboot but also nada since no connection is being made.... might be something with DL mode gone awry with the bad flash... long story but OTA update from current ROM decided on its own to push update even though battery was at 5% and no user interaction ever happened...
we'll see what happens...

Driver issue. Find the correct drivers.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Hey guys, was running C10 and wanted to test a few others to compare battery life. I checked the dev forum and wanted to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854.
Downloaded, rebooted, cleaned and flashed with the dorimanx kernel and most default options. On reboot, things came up nice, but I had 0 bars, and when it said turning on wifi, it found nothing nor can I get past that since there is no keyboard (reading about that now!)
But, rebooting into recovery, thought I would restore a nand, when I select restore I get Can't mount /sdcard!
If I goto mounts, mount /sdcard I get
Error mounting /sdcard!
I have the original CM10 local but when I try to flash that, it crashes with a bunch of getprop errors, so now pretty much stuck.
Any help is appreciated.
Scrub that. Sounds like recovery is broken. Best thing would be back to stock via Odin then re-root (flash Odin version of Siyah or similar) then maybe trying restoring your backup again.

When I plugged mine in and tried, the one tried failed, so figured I would look and get another, and on reboot the phone and have the following error;
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I didn't have it installed, but I am guessing something broke when ODIN tried to update. The problem I have now is when I reboot and go into download mode, I plugin the USB and ODIN never lights now!
I have the normal download screen;
Porduct name: GT-i9100
Custom Binary Download: YES (1 counts)
Current Binary: Samsung official
So that does look right, but now even more frustrated! My wife has a samsung and uses KIES, I did plug it in there and no USB confirmation beep, as well as its not listed in the emergency firmware recovery.
Thanks and still looking!
OK. So when you hook the phone up to the PC via USB & get Odin going, you don't get the yellow ID:COM box ?
In that case, try as many of the following as you need to:-
*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 another copy from Samsung's website & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. If it won't work first try on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
