Hei, Im new to the Samsung Android Phones but I have had HTC Android Phones since the G1 and until the HTC Desire HD and Xperia Arc.
But now Im stuck, I cant get niether Kies nor Odin to recognize my device, let me tell you how.
1. When I try to connect to Kies the *Android MTP driver* fail to install.
2. So Kies will go on an endless Connection journy and my devices tells me its connected.
I have reinstalled the drivers many time. tried with both USB-Debugging mode on and off and still no result.
Ok, but thats not the worst part because i could careless about Kies since my interrest is in rooting the device.
Now if my device is powered on and the USB-debugging mode is on Odin finds it (mark it as yellow)
but when I put the device is in Download mode Odin doesnt find it and I cant flash :'(
Im confussed, i've been going at it for days now with no results. help me please...
When you're in Odin, have you disabled Kies? Both the .exe and the system tray?
What's your current firmware?

I mean I close Kies when using Odin and vice versa. you think Kies is the reason for Odin not finding the device in download mode?

Turn Kies off = not running in taskbar .
USB debugging off reboot phone .
Open Odin select firmware connect phone via Samsung cable to a mainboard USB port .

Well frankly that MTP device error is a PITA, it happened for me with my S8500, did everything possible, couldn't solve it until I installed Win 7 x64. So may be a fresh OS installation could/should solve the problem.
If you can't do that Odin is the only option as you already know.
And make sure that you are pressing Vol Up+Home+Power button to enter Download mode and press the Vol Up key to continue.
Regards.
It seems that Im ably to enter Android System Recovery by pressing VolUp+Home+Power and Odin seems to find the devices find, but thats not Download Mode I guese, do I brick the phone if I flash from here via Odin?

You can't flash from Odin in recovery, and I'm not sure I've heard of anyone who can get recovery but not download. Something is FUBAR'd...
I'll let ithehappy and jj take over, they've more experience than me. But since you're in recovery, a factory reset seems logical.
Anybody have any idea? please help..
Did you try factory reset? And have installed the newest version of Kies, as opposed to re-installing old drivers?
Uninstall kies and the drivers
Download these driver
Install them
Put phone into download mode
Flash a rom or kernel using Odin
If this doesnt work
1) change USB ports
2) reboot computer
3) try another computer if you have one close by
Or if you have Clockworkmod recovery installed
4) boot into CWM recovery
5) connect phone to computer via USB
6) select mounts and storage
7) select mount USB storage
8) your phones internal SD card will now mount with the computer, copy a CWM flashable zip of what you want to flash to the phones sd card
9) go back to main menu
10) select install zip from sd card
11) select chose zip from sd card
12) flash!

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...
Friends,
I am in a fix here.
I had installed ""Simplistic ICS >>A SuperLite ROM (RC5 Is here finally!)"" yesterday, and since it was hannging too much, i thought of installing another rom, but this is what i did wrong:
- I formatted system, data and sd card
since I thought I will mount usb storage and move/copy the new rom file in cwm
but now when i do that i get error: unable to open ums lunfile
when i do into download mode to flash via odin, odin doesnt recognise my device
and when i connect my usb in recovery mode, windows fails to regozne my device and gives error of usb malfunction
i have installed usb drivers(1.4) , kies etc.. and tried using adb, but adb gives an error too of not recognising the device
with no rom file in my sd card, im stuck. please help!
Thanks
Looks like you have wiped the phone its empty nothing on it .
I formatted system, data and sd card
Flash stock rom via ODIN .
No download = Service Centre no warranty as custom rom or try JTAG machine .
Old bootloaders then a USB jig may boot to download mode .
jje
Try different usb cable. Had the exact same problem.
Sent from my good old Galaxy S II. Hit thx if u think i helped and may the force be with u.
try the usb jig in the phone's download mode (Volume Down+Power button+Home button)
You can buy USb jig from ebay india.
Otherwise use ODIN. Make sure you have right ODIN.(download from samfirmware site).
Close kies from task bar and its process after updating it.
Then try connecting your mobile.

Hey listen take the phone to the service centre and tell them that while using the phone suddenly it went blank and started behaving the way you described it!
They will fix it under warranty since indian samsumg service centre dont check the binary counter..!
They did that for me

hi all,
I'm after the flash driver for i9100 for use with odin and other flash programs.
At the momment it comes up as unknown device, when in download mode.
I've checked all over google and current download says over 12hrs so if anyone knows a quick link please help.
Download Kies. It'll install the drivers needed.

tried that, when it's in normal mode it gets reconised but as soon as i put it in download mode / flash mode, it says device unknown
Connect phone to KIES let KIES find phone .
Turn off phone and PC
Reboot and put phone in USB mass storage mode and connect with USB cable let PC find and install drivers .
Flashing turn KIES OFF
Open ODIN load required file in correct section
Put phone to download mode and read the instructions on the first download window .
Connect Samsung USB cable to a mainboard USB port .
You should now have yellow block showing in ODIN .

If you think you get working drivers installed, put your computer online, put your phone on download mode, plug the cable, and wait for it to install.
This is for windows 7, otherwise install the Samsung usb drivers again

That's hard.
If you do not get the PC recognize your phone in download mode, you have a real problem.
Try another USB port and cable.
Try to connect your phone to another PC.
Maybe you have to give it to a service center for repair.
Is your phone already out of warranty?
I had a similar problem where it freezes on that screen.
My problem was I installed an ICS rom with old version kernel.
Once I installed the latest CF-Root the boot was successful.
If Odin can't see your phone and you can still go into Download mode, I would check to make sure that Kies is not open and no Kies process is live (Task Manager / Processes), I think it's call "KiesTrayAgent", just kill the process and any process that has a Kies word in it.
Otherwise try another PC.
Hi all,
Please anyone help me!! I flashed 5.0.1. UB Team Roam few days back. My phone's all data lost I don't know how but it lost and even my phone. I want to downgrade but it even doesn't let me to do it. I can enter recovery mode as well download mode. But my phone is not recognized by windows (Its unknown device in device manager). Whenever I plug usb cable the popup comes that usb device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I have tried all the possible mathod to get it recognize but I am failing everytime.
I have stock firmware downloaded 4.3 and odin ready but I could not flash it due to the problem. Some one on the XDA told me that the file system of Lollipop is different and that's why I am not able to do so, But I am unable to figure out the problem. Please help and suggest what to do...

Flashing a new rom will not remove old user data unless you formatted it completely.
Odin will work only in download mode and you need to right click > Run as Admin.
Enter download mode on your phone and connect your device to PC then flash the stock 4.3

Thanks for reply but I am doing same thing but my phone is not recognized by windows. The popup comes each & everytime that USB device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. So, I could not connect the phone in MTP or PTP mode when the phone is running or even when I put it in download mode and connect to pc. Same error is comming. I have tried the same thing on several PC/Laptop, Tried changing USB Cables god, don't know what to do....:crying:
@rawalmaulin: uninstall KIES & drivers and install the drivers again.

Use mobile Odin until you get it fixed here >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro << this will allow you to flash stock without using a pc.
