I have read through every thread here on brick recover, and none addresses my specific problem.
I have a Verizon LTE Tab.
I installed Rom Manager and flashed Clockwork recovery. As everyone now knows, this bricked the tab.
I have found instructions in various places for flashing a new recovery through Odin3. However, I cannot get my tablet to connect to my PC. I put it in Downloading mode and connect it to my computer. At that point, the computer starts automatically installing drivers because it thinks the tablet is a Samsung CMDA modem. I cannot force it to install the correct drivers, I cannot update the drivers, and I cannot manually add the hardware.
Thus, although Odin3 recognizes a connection, it gets stuck at SetupConnection every time I try to flash a new recovery to it.
Any suggestions? Please help!
I had the same problem with my laptop + my home desktop. I cannot get either of them to recognize my tab. Fortunately for me, my work PC does. I have no idea what the difference is. They are all running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
When simply powered on, Odin will recognize my tab (10.1 WiFi Only 7510). But will not recognize in DL mode... grrrrr. Any suggestions?
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers on the PC?
Yes, I did. Reinstalling the drivers did not work. I tested with USB debug off, this did nothing in Odin either.

Of course it wouldn't; toggling a USB debug setting on the device while booted into it's operating system will have no affect on how the device is going to work in download mode as download mode is completely independent from the operating system itself. It's like comparing a PC's BIOS to an installation of Windows or Linux on the PC.
Your issues with Odin and download mode are most likely on the PC side and NOT on the tablet side. The Samsung drivers are very temperamental. Sometimes they don't play well with other devices and sometimes they don't work well with certain chipsets or USB controllers. My suggestion is try different USB ports, avoid using USB HUBs and try reinstalling drivers as well as disabling antivirus on the PC temporarily.
It may even be advantageous to have device manager open while you connect the tab in download mode to see how the PC is recognizing it. The tab should never be connected while you're attempting to get into download mode, leave it disconnected and have Odin fired up and prepped until you get the tab in download mode. Seeing how device manager picks it up might help diagnose driver issues.
same problem, varios computers
Hello everyone! I also have this issue whereas my gt-p7500 dont even exists to the system in download mode. I tryed 3 computers so far, even on linux in download mode heimdall wont recognize the tablet. what I have done so far:
(on 1st pc win7)
- installed kies, and updated to latest version. On normal mode the tablet gets recognized, all drivers install throught the end, kies works fine, managing folders and files as storage device also works fine.
- turned on usb debugging, and connected to pc again. A new driver MPC is installed, kies still works, pc communication also.
- rebooted the device in download mode, and after this conected again to the pc. Nothing new is detected.
-- Odin can see the device on normal mode, and if its turned off (charge mode) but on download mode nothing happens.
(on 2nd pc, win 7)
- didnt install kies, only samsung drivers
- inserted the tablet in 3 ways on the cpter, normal node, normal mode with debugging on, and download mode to all new devices and drivers to be detected.
- odin dont work on download mode, but can see the tablet as the example above, normal mode, normal mode with debug on and turned off (charge mode)
(3rd pc, debian 64)
- installed heimdall via git, latest package. Also wont detect the device on download mode, whereas it can see the tablet on normal mode.
on 3 pcs, tryed ALL usb ports, tryied openning odin first, and then connecting the device, tryed conecting the device first and then openning odin... nothing works while in download mode.
also Iv reseted the device to factory defaults to test, nothing changed.
On the first pc iv also tryed downloading older drivers versions from samsung, spreaded all over xda foruns on other threads. the oldest version Iv tryed was 1.4.x,
Please helpe me on this, cant figure out how to get the device detected in download mode on the pc... getting very annoyed on this already, and tryed all the possibilities I could imagine so far.
Are you using a laptop? Bcz pc can iddntify. I also had same problem with my laptop. It was recognizinging it as media device but not in download mode. So try to cknnect it to the CPU of the Pc
HIT THANKS WHENEVER POSSIBLE OR IF I HELPED YOU...
Not necessarily computer related, past experience for me has shown that not all versions of Odin work with this tab......the newer versions are NOT so good
Try this version uploaded and these drivers - try odin first if you are sure of your drivers, otherwise install the drivers first
Let us know how you go....

Hi
I had the same issue and those files solved it
Thank you
Samsung Galaxy TAB P1000(Ordin detection in DOWNLOAD MODE)
Initially google SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86 . Download the file in your pc or laptop and install it. Then switch-off the tab and Press power and Volume down button simultaneously to get into the download mode. This time Samsung tab would be detected in the Ordin.
Hi I have galaxy tab 10.1 GT P7510, Odin don't recognize
After an extensive search of XDA and other forums - I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for a situation in which my PCs (one that is Win7Ultimate and one that is Win8Pro) will only recognize my recently acquired, used Galaxy Tab 7510 when the Tab is placed in "download" or ODIN mode.
Thankfully, I can install CWM recovery and flash other ROMS because the PC's recognize the Tab 7510 when I place it in "Download" mode and use ODIN to flash.
Thankfully, I can use apps like WiFi File Transfer to successfully move files between my PCs and my Tab 7510.
However, I'm completely befuddled about why - when I connect the Tab 7510 to the PC in ordinary operating mode - there is no recognition of a USB connected device at all. Nothing shows up in the Control Panel's Device Manager, nothing shows up in the Windows USB Taskbar notification - from the perspective of the Windows machines there is nothing attached to the PC. I've tried all the tips I've seen written about on this and other forums (uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, trying other USB ports, trying other cables. making sure MTP is checked in settings, making sure USB debugging is/is not checked in settings). None of these has changed the outcome. My PC does not recognize (not at all) the Tab 7510.
But, as soon as I go into "Download" mode on the Tab 7510 - using exactly the same cable plugged into exactly the same USB port - the Tab is recognized and I've flashed three different ROMS (trying different versions of Jelly Bean) and flashed CWM three times and flashed stock ROM twice via the "Download" mode using ODIN on the PC.
Thus, I know that a connection can exist between my PC and Tab 7510 and that the cable and USB ports do work - just not when I'm out of "Download" mode.
Any thoughts or ideas on what the disconnect may be?
Do You have Kies installed to Your computer, earlier on I had the same kind of problem and uninstalled Kies totally, also every
registery traces, and the problem was gone.
I don't have any USB device connected other than the mouse on PC. i have even tried on my laptop with no mouse.
I have downloaded pit file and uvjfd.tar two times from the forums.
I have tried flashing multiple times from both my PC & laptop using Odin 3.0 v1.0, v1.85, v3.07(latest), EZOdin v1.70 and installed Samsung USB drivers multiple times, even downloaded latest driver version from official Samsung Vibrant page.
I have tried flashing from all possible USB ports on my PC & laptop wherever the phone was being recognized. But now with the latest official Samsung Vibrant drivers, my phone is not being detected by any USB port on my PC.
But whenever I have flashed, Odin is stuck at Cache or Modem or recently(with latest samsung drivers), DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I have even tried flashing through Heimdall 1.3.1 but the zadig.exe shows the device only as 'Gadget Serial' no matter how many times I try, and installs the driver with device as Gadget Serial under libusb in Device Manager and I also tried by updating driver as Samsung Composite USB as mentioned in readme. Either Way Heimdall frontend will not flash and says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".
Edit: I tried with another USB cable, of LG GS500v, and Oh Lord Jesus, Odin flashed past it. Great, time to buy a new Samsung USB cable, now!

Dont worry....this time go to download mode and flash eugenes that does not brick aka Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo with the same pit file and ur good to go brother
Similar Problem but different results.
Hi!
Whomever can help me, please help me. Right now, I am on stock Froyo 2.2 after the factory reset so this is how I got it but it is rooted only. I am trying to overwrite CWM because I cannot get into its recovery no matter how many times I flash it. Odin just will not recognize my phone when I am in download mode. When my phone is on, it will allow the mass storage and that works but when in download mode, my PC says unrecognized devide. I have a feeling that is the problem and I have updated the drivers several times, especially from Samsung but to no avail. Does someone have a solution to this problem? I want to go to Avatar ROM with my phone which is Jelly Bean and have seen its possible but I feel CWM is holding me back.
Thank you in advance!

Can you explain the steps your taking when you try to get into odin
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
The steps I take is put the phone into download mode by pulling the battery and then holding both the volume up and down then reinsert the battery. It shows the download screen. I then start odin and I have tried version 1.7 and the latest version of 3.0.7. Then I plug my phone into the USB port and windows pops up saying unrecognized device. I have reinstalled drivers several times. Now to describe my desktop is that it is a pentium III 550 Mhz...and old computer and running Windows XP Professional. I am able to do the mass storage when the phone is on normally so it recognizes it that way though. I have tried different USB ports on it as well so just unsure. I have rooted the phone and have superuser app access. ROM manager was supposed to have flashed the recovery mode but it never goes into the CWR mode either and its version is 2.5.1.2 which I have seen work on these phones in videos on YouTube so guess I am trying a different route so I can play with the mods to find a ROM I like. I was going to try the Avatar ROM for the vibrant but just cannot seem to get to the point where I can get the ROM flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep the battery in and lull up Odin. Cut off the phone and hold both volumes while inserting USB hopefully the computer will then recognize it

Its still not recognizing it. I am almost consigned to wait until either my laptop is fixed or get a new laptop to replace it because this desktop is 13 years old and has the old USB 1.1 but wouldn't think that makes a difference. Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers but I have not installed Kies yet but heard some bad things about that.

USB cable does make difference. And USB ports even on the same computer. Check also your phone's drivers. Finally, try out Heimdall one-click package for t959, it is more powerful and sensitive than Odin.
Good luck

And since only thing remaining in your case is USB cable, I would say try with a different micro USB cable, even a different vendor's will do, as it did the trick for me( see the edit in OP)
I will try that. Thank you! I need to get a car charger anyway so I can get a usb adapter for the car and a usb cable and try it that way.

For now, you can try any micro usb cable that fits, they all have same specifications.
Okay. Thanks!

Stuck on cache
I'm also stuck on cache & I have tried more than one USB cable. Is there something else that I might be doing wrong? I'm completely uninclined technologically. The fact that I got my phone into download mode after 'bricking' is a feat in itself. Now what do I do when I'm stuck??

Great that you could get it to the download mode.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed for your Operating System. Preferably, download the latest drivers. You can verify when your device is recognized when connected in download mode.
2. Make sure you follow this thread for Odin flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
3. If unable to flash using ODIN successfully, try with different USB ports, on same computer or a different one, say, a laptop.
4. If still unable to do so, try with different USB cables (any micro-usb should do).
In this way, you should by trying multiple alternatives at each step you should be able to eliminate the options and figure out what is really creating the problem in your flashing. Trust me my friend, this has not go anything to do with technology. just follow the steps, try alternatives and you would resolve this. Do post back on thread, if you have any queries.
Hello.
I am having a problem flashing G965U1UEU3CSA8 onto my S9+. I am currently on the ZRLG beta build. I was not able to receive the beta OTA so I manually flashed it. I have tried to no avail with both of my laptops (just moved; so no workstation at the moment) and with my friend's laptop.
The problem with all of our laptops is that the hubs are USB 3.0/3.1. Whenever I try flashing with Odin with the phone in download mode, Odin just stops at the "Setupconnection" phase.
- I have downloaded the Samsung USB drivers
- I enabled USB debugging
- I am running Odin as an administrator
- I've tried all of the ports on each of the laptops
- I have tried 3 authentic cables from Samsung; 2 in new condition and 1 that was used daily
- I attempted to do an emergency recovery via Smartswitch but that fails too. Smartswitch states that a connection could not be established in order to transfer the firmware
- I should add that the phone is being recognized whether by Odin or by Smartswitch. It is only when it's time for the flashing to commence where things start to go awry
So, essentially, what I need to know is: is there any way to build a zip to sideload via ADB as a workaround in lieu of a computer with USB 2.0 ports?
