Hey guy's I just got a fresh gs 2 today. I'm very eager to flash a custom rom, but when I connect the phone to the computer in download mode odin doesn't detect it. I have drivers installed, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help. I'm not new to android I moved up from a captivate, and I never had this much trouble.
Try installing Samsung Kies on your computer. I had the same problem but when I did this and connected my phone in download mode, the drivers installed successfully and I was able to flash.
ok I'll try this. thanks for the quick response.
Got it to work. Thanks Buddy.

Make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your pc. Search the forums they have it there somewhere. Still at work will update later when i get home with a link to it.

Hi
i was installing a stock rom last night and I got the Firmware Upgrade encountered....
The phone wont boot into recovery, it will how ever go into download mode but odin will not detect it no matter what I do
Tried every set of drivers I could find, no luck.
I am on windows 7 64 bit.
Is the phone bricked, it shows no binary count in download, would it be covered under warranty?
Really need to get my phone back if anyone can help, I have tried everything at this stage, I think
Thanks
Did you already installed the Kies software? It will install the Galaxy S2 drivers, maybe that is the problem. If it really doesn't work, try another computer with the Kies functioning!

dont forget that you need to start odin before you plug the phone in, if you can get into download mode then it's not bricked

Done that mate, thats the frustrating part, I can get into DL and know what to do but on three computers, I cant get it to work and ODIN always worked for me. I have had at least 300 roms on this phone but being stuck in DL mode sucks when I cant get progress, even returning to stock and using the factory tar files. I cant get any furhter than DL screen thanks for your help
Hello all, I have a GS3 international GT-I9300
I'll try to go through the story as fast as I can and give as much detail so you guys can understand how I got here.
Bought the phone unlocked, I was stock, I rooted and then I decided to install a new ROM. I went with Resurrection Remix, it was working great. I did this on a desktop back home. They released a new update to RR so I did a OTA update with "Update Me" apparently the thing flashed but it didn't, the phone still worked but NFC wasn't working as well as having lost root access and some other stuff wasn't working correctly, but I lived with it.
I moved to Florida (home is in NY) and I have a laptop with me, for some reason my laptop used to be able to transfer files to my S3, but it wasn't doing it any more after a while. So it would just charge it. I was in a hotel room last week trying to tether via USB but the PC wasnt having it, it could not locate the phone. This week I moved to a different hotel with internet and decided I would flash stock on my S3 to get rid of all these bugs and get root again, I tried flashing stock through recovery and it wasn't going, so I tried flashing RR again (this time downloaded from the site RR site) and it worked. Still no USB connection but I had root back. I looked around my PC and apparently the Samsung drives are not installing or something on my PC. I installed Kies, but nothing, I tried a stand alone driver install and nothing, so I just gave up and bought Mobile Odin pro from Gplay to try to flash again.
Mobile Odin for some reason (I blame it on myself) wasn't finding/flashing stock so again I decided to try and flash RR and see what would happen. It flashed RR and turned on fine. Then I just decided to look for an NFC fix on XDA. Once I found my NFC fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029713&postcount=8367) I decided to just copy the files to the system folder, NFC still not working, rebooted and NFC still no working, so I figured I would try to flash the fix through mobile odin seeing as how I can't get my PC to pick up on the USB. I tried flashing but MO just kept bouncing it back and re-booting into RR. Tried again and no flash. So I decided to again try and flash stock. I tried going into Recovery, the phone shut off like it always does, came back on but stayed in the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 logo and would not move. I shut it off again, tried turning it on again and still stuck on the galaxy logo. Now, if I leave the phone off and plug in the USB, it won't show the battery charging image, it will actually turn straight onto the galaxy logo again and stay there. I can get the phone into download mode, but like I said my pc won't recognize the drivers.
Now, here are my questions:
What happened?
Can this be fixed?
Am I an idiot?
If I can get the drivers installed on another PC as well as Odin (1.85), will the new PC "see" the S3 or are the drivers on the phone deleted as well? (if that sort of thing can happen, idk.)
I'm going to see if I can borrow a buddy's PC and download the drivers as well as odin to try and bring my S3 back to life, I just want to know, what happens if I can't get the other PC to pick it up ether because the drivers on the phone are deleted (if that's a thing) or what I can expect if it is connected.
What are the steps or guides to follow here? I just got it into Download mode and it says on the top of the screen:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
sorry , i am sometime getting headache reading long english text so i just briefly look over.
your PC doesn't recognize your S3 ? is that correct ? hmmm , is it possible that your PC (Microsoft Windows I assume?) system is damaged due to something like virus or some reasons ? i have encountered that kinda problem before and be OK after i reinstalled the system.
If it's a soft brick, then it can defiantly be fixed. You might, however, lose your data along the process.
Be glad it's not hard bricked
It happened to me many times, USB error "unknown device" connected. Only fix for it was reinstalling Windows so better if you can use different PC or laptop. Install Kies and other USB drivers. Restart computer, download and run Odin v 3.0x. Flash your phone.
If this doesn't work then maybe your phone have a problem with USB port?

Don't forget to delete kies as you only need the drivers

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try to fix tit today, I didn't get a chance to do it last night. If anything I'll update you guys with what's going on.
Like I was saying, I'll try using a different PC to fix it. Now, if I can't get Odin to recognize the phone, what would be the next step?
Sorry for posting here as I'm a new comer!
I try to root/recovery my Verizon note2 I605 by following the instruction in post -- "[Jailbreak][Root][Recovery] CASUAL One-Click -- update 17MAR13:Windows/Linux" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348).
After that, I can enter recovery menu and install customize rom. However, the Phone just supports two USB options: MTP and PTP and my PC (the same for another PC) does not recognize the phone anymore even I reinstall phone driver from Sumsung. Neither does CASUAL program recognize the phone.
Can anyone give me a hint about how to deal with this situation? Many Thanks in advance!

Dont use win8, as far as I have heard its not supported.
This has happened to me both times I rooted my Verizon Note 2, what a pain in the ass. What I did to get it to work was to uninstall the samsung drivers then reinstall. This worked the first time but now it is not working on my replacement phone. This has happened before on my girlfriends s3, it pretty much wont recognize any samsung phones. I'm out of ideas, I think the USB installer that casual comes with is screwing up the drivers. I'm on Win7 btw

USB debugging on? Also I would uninstall the drivers and then reinstall manually..
Hello.
Sorry, I do not speak English so I will use the tradctor:
Today I spend very strange. He was about to change the rom to the new SlimSaber (PHD was using v10). I put the phone in download mode connect it to the pc (for clean install) and I did not recognized the phone.
Whenever I run I should have flashed with Odin cell 30 times and never gave me error.
Install drivers and nothing you uninstall.
Try installing on another pc drivers and nothing.
I did not even recognize it in mass storage mod.
LET ME ENTER THE RECOVERY AND INSTALLING ROMS: Install a stock I had and I did not work, and then install an old version slimsaber if I work
LET ME INTO DOWNLOAD MODE but I did not recognize the pc and therefore I did not recognize Odin
- In the last days will pass triangleaway and I think maybe because here comes the problem, it's the only thing weird I did.
I hope your answers
Thanks a lot
Let me clarify: I have installed and it works SlimSaber cell but despite that I did not recognize the pc
- Flash on several PCs and Notebook
- All drivers install
- Uninstall and install kies more times
- Flash before this 2831 times without problems
- From what I read it is a brick
I want to help you but please do use better translator as i didn't got your point. Sorry if you mind anything buddy.
