Hey,
I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but couldn't find the thread. I wanted to install CWM on my phone, and installed i9100xxkp8 to root it later. Now once i installed i9100xxkp8 using Odin, Odin doesn't detect my phone anymore. The laptop I'm using is detecting it fine when the phone is switched on, but as soon as I switch to download mode, it says the USB device is not recognised.
I've a feeling this may be due to samsung MTP drivers in the phone?
Since I can't run Odin, i can't install CWM, and can't get out of this old buggy OS!
anybody has any ideas?
Thanks!
Saad Waseem.

you can try this :

and download Mobile Odin, install CF-root kernel from that...
Mobile Odin thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
then you can get out of this buggy ROM, by flashing any custom ROM.
all that or simple put your PC online, every time you flash new ROM, windows install drivers, after that it will work.
that's for windows 7, cant say for other OS.
also try changing cable / usb port of laptop
einstall the samsung drivers and odin will work...

I tried following your advice, it installs CWM, but then can't do anything else, and I get the error

Sorry I am on work..........
Did you try to rectify connection problem first as all other suggested....
See I gave you a suggetion and a link to another thread which is working perfect for most of the users and also sticked by Moderator on his sticky thread, please go through that thread to find out wheather such error is reported or not.
please check, there must be a solution for your problem...
I suffered the same problem as you, and fixed it by flashing through ODIN another capable CWM kernel.
In my case, N.E.A.K. kernel.
Hope that helps
Flash a Kernel via Odin, from here
I suggest LPB, LPQ, or LPS. Good luck

Why on earth would he want to flash one of those three if he is on XXKP8?
I have exactly the same problem:
My phone is recognised when switch on normally. When in download mode I get the "USB device is not recognised"
This means I can't use Odin to flash a new anything, as it won't recognise the device when it's in download mode! Is there a problem with the USB drivers on the phone (I have a ROM install crash on me - thank you Keis!) Is there any way to fix them. Is there any other way to get around the problem?
It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?" being used/invoked by the phone in Download mode.
"It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?"
OK, that being the case, time to think logically...
If you have Kies installed on your PC - uninstall it, reboot, re-download it, reinstall it, reboot. If you don't have it installed, download/install it & reboot. Also run Windoze update. When you run Odin, you must run it as admin on the PC you're using. And most importantly, when you do run Odin, check task manager to ensure Kies or any of its processes aren't running in the background. If they are, kill them.
Also, despite you saying it isn't one of these issues, rather than saying 'but I know it's not this ! (even tho I haven't tried/tested for problems around these)' try different USB cables (use the one supplied with the phone if you're not now), different USB ports (must use a powered/mainboard port) and also try different versions of Odin (Google them).
Thanks for the quick response:

-I did this as my first step, Although having Kies active as a process borked my flash (my bad - forgot it was installed - usually just use the Google drivers from the dev kit), it has never prevented Odin from seeing my phone in download mode before.

I have tried a different cable, a different port (all of them) a powered hub etc...
I have previously flashed this phone with my current version of Odin. There is no reason that any of the above should apply to my case (I know logic doesn't always apply, sometimes...China...
Again. Everything worked fine, I flashed the kernels and various ROMs without issue. I had a bad flash (via odin) that hung. On reboot I was able to recover the phone via CWM back to 4.0.3 (ie. the version prior to the failed flash.)
The phone and computer chat happily when the phone in on normally (dev mode and normal). When I boot into Download mode I get the error, hence it would appear that the issue lies with whatever driver is invoked by the phone in download mode - the question is, how do I fix it? To be clear, Odin sees the phone when it is booted normally, but not when in download mode.
I am at a loss, I assume something in the nand was corrupted during the flash - not sure exactly what...
Boy is my face red!
Having tried every combination of cable / usb port I could, I managed to dig out an old dual usb powered cable (takes power from a 2nd usb port to power the device) and it worked! I guess it just wasn't getting enough power from a single usb port. Not sure why my powered usb hub didn't work - guess it's just broken .
Anyway - hope this helps someone else - I know how frustrating I found this whole affair. Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction MistahBungle - saved a lot of heartache!
No probs. Glad you got it working

Hey gang, needing some help in regards to Odin and Kies.
Apologies if this has been answered but ive been all over the net trying to find a soloution and as Princess Leia says, "youre my only hope".
Ok the main issue im facing is ODIN doesnt recognise my phone when connected.
The installed software i have is as follows:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100XXKI3
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579 [email protected]
Build Number: Gingerbread.XXKI3
Now i can put my unit into download mode but ODIN doesnt pick up on it.
I also have a connection issue with Kies not seeing my phone either, although when i connect my unit to my pc (alienware m11xr2) it gives me the option to connect as USB storage..?
What im wondering now is there any soloution to this?
Can i root from the unit directly as i cant get ODIN to see my unit?
Thankyou in advance for any help given to both issues
Uninstall/reinstall Kies on your PC (with a reboot of the PC after each step). Try different USB cables, try different USB ports. When you're using Odin, check Task Manager in Windoze & make sure Kies isn't running/kill it if it is running (Odin & Kies don't play well together tho you need Kies drivers to use Odin).
Try a different PC/different OS if all else fails.
You can't root directly from the phone as far as I'm aware. If you're using Odin 3 v1.85, try Odin 3 v1.3.

Make sure USB debugging is checked under settings. If Odin worked before on your computer, try a different one. Install proper drivers and reconnect your phone to the different computer.
Are you using Windows 7? If yes then you should try installing Samsung Drivers in compatibility mode for Win XP and then go to device manager in PC and under USB Serial Controller dropdown, you'll see "USB Composite Device"(maybe 2)..Just update its driver, after update it should show "Samsung USB composite device".
Do it with phone connected to PC and USB debugging UNCHECKED. I'll post screenshots when i go home.
You can use mobile odin to flash and root. Use Kies Air to get the file onto the phone.
Edit: Disregard you need to be rooted to use the app.

thanks mistah bungle, ill have a go now and ill let you know how i get on
OK, tried all mentioned steps Mistah Bungle and no joy.
Uninstalled Kies,rebooted no change.
Rebooted tied Odin both 1.5 and 1.3 no change.
Rebooted tried all USB ports no change.
When plugging in the USB cables though and watching the laptop install the drivers i noticed that the 1st step was ticked and the 2nd (USB Driver) crossed, this occured on all USB ports on my laptop.
I managed to download the SAMSUNG USB Mobile Driver onto my laptop but still nothing changed.
Also have tried ODIN with USB debugging on and off just to be sure but still no change.
Just for your knowledge, my laptops running win7 64bit, 8GB RAM,icore 7 etc
Just seems strange how ODIN used to work before when flashing my device and suddenly this stops..?
lol thanks...well almost
looking forward to seeing if this helps, awaiting yr screen shots etc
Another PC looks like the only way you're going to get it done in that case. Yes it's strange, as to why, that's anyone's guess.
i am also running windows 7 64 bit and odin works great for me. One thing you can try is see if the phone is being detected under USB in Device manager and if you see it there right click on it and click uninstall and then right click and select scan for hardware changes and it should pick up the drives again. Also try disabling UAC(user account control) reboot then try. Let me know if it works.
...
ok went to Device manager as in picture 1 and deleted Samsung Mobile USB modem, unknown device and GT-I9100.
Then plugged phone back into USB and have now, as in picture 2
Thanks in advance people
Are you following the basics ,
Use the USB cable that came with the phone and only connect to a USB mainboard port .

OK god knows how i manged it but managed to get USB Debugging selected,used zerg exploit to gain root access to my phone (confirmed this using ROOT Check Basic from Android Market)
Now all i have to do is install clockwork mod again
????
Tried Clockwork aborts...
What does work right now?? U can boot phone? Access cwm but it reboots?
I had the same issue but very simple to resolve. First thing don't use usb netconnect at the same time when using phone data cable and if u r using front side slots for usb they may conflict with other usb devices drivers ...most commonly with usb netconnect... So use back side slots when phone is in normal mode..... Re- installing and unistalling will not resolve this... And be patience..... Be sure drivers are installed and if installed then no need to uninstalling and reinstalling... 100% it will work

Ok i can boot the unit on and have clockwork mod installed, i have checked that the unit has root access.
I put the unit into recovery with clockwork mod, this is what i get:
--Installing package...

Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
so i have to reboot.
Powers up showing no yellow triangle (yet when in download mode says 3rd custom binary and below samsung official).
powers on,seems to be ok then the voice talk app opens, i try and close and this goes on for minutes,on off,on off, i turn the phones screen off,it comes back on
This unit is very unstable at the moment for example:
The unit again is now not recognised by the USB ports allowing me to mke it seen as an external memory device from unit. ,its deffantly the unit,now that i managed to get root access i was going to transfer odin mobile accross from my pc and lightning 6.1 tar, then hopefully reboot,install odin flash lightning and viola problem solved....no such luck.
Voice talk is activating itself now continuesly opening as stated and putting the phone into car mode,just when i think i have 1 problem solved its giving me some thing else to contend with.
i admit im not the most technical at this and need step by step instructions but ive flashed over 50 ROMs/updates on this unit with no issues what so ever, maybe ive just pushed the poor lil bastard too hard for too long (since the day i got it, its been flashed) and possibly its getting revenge because it knows its just a matter of time until i get the SG3...?
I have the will and the patience to want to win this battle im having as i love the phone, but maybe the day is coming where phone meets wall,lol?
anybody?
OK managed to bluetooth ODIN mobile and lightning 6.1 tar onto the unit, hopefully have just flashed the phone....fingers crossed...
Well thats killed it, now unit is stuck on Samsung Galaxy s2 screen and wont boot up.
Can get to download mode but still not recognised by ODIN.
Vol Up, Power On, Home key gets me to clockwork Mod 4.0.0.2, go to install zip from sd card and wont select choose zip from sd card.

Ok, please, anyone, help me!
I've rooted my phone, using a zerg method ive seen on galaxys2root.com, at first everything worked brilliantly, customs roms and all, but the phone usb drivers are gone.
no pc or mac ive tried can detect my phone, i cant move any files (unless i do it over wi-fi), i cant select usb debug mode, it say cable is connected even when there is no cable connected, ive tried many methods to connect the phone but none work.
so now i cant use odin to flash anything since my phone is always being detected as an unknown device.
im desperate, i dont know what to do.
so please anyone help me out there ... i guess all i can offer for help is a 10$ steam game to whoever finds a solutiin
im not quite sure whats wrong with your usb but you can try mobile odin to flash.
The are 2 things that I Would try, try this first:
Download the CWM version of "Siyah kernel" (v3 is best)
Here is a link
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/05/10/siyahkernel-v3-2-1/
Flash it in to CWM recovery (if you need instructions on how to flash in to CWM let me know) (to enter cwm recovery do the following:
Turn phone off
Press the home+ volume up+ power button, and do not release your fingers off the buttons till you see the sgs2 boot logo)
If your phone still doesn't work properly after the above, do the following:
Find a CWM flasherble rom (any will do as you are only flashing it so as to be able to use Odin for what ever rom it is you want to install, although you can also find a nice rom that is cwm flasherble, pure ics v7. 3 is very nice!) and download it from your phone
Make titanium backup of all your apps
Go in to CWM recovery and select "install zip from sd card"
Click "yes"
And hopefully when that has finished it should have fixed the issue you are having, and then you can install the rom you were on originally or a rom that you like.
Hope this helped
Cheers

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

Well, thanks for the reply guys but still not working, its driving me nuts, no pc can pick up my phone, its only being seen as unknown device, ODIN cant see my phone when its in download mode.
i installed that room, ICS resurrection remix, the problem managed to find its away to that also.
EDIT: Sorry about posting in the wrong forum.
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work:-
*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 & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
Try all of these steps if necessary.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if the different PC doesn't work first try, go thru all the above steps on the different PC if necessary.
And if you still don't have any joy, probably user error somewhere along the line or a hardware issue.
I'm sure its a user error, cause the phone realizes that usb is connected when i connect. but no other device can recognize the phone (i tried 2 windows pc's and one os x machine).
I'm not an expert but is it possible that the phone information got deleted?

Did you o a factory reset, and full wipe before you installed the rom?

Ok, Kies is installed with drivers, everything was working fine, then i used a Zerg method i found on galaxys2root.com to root the phone, after that it all went to hell.
Well, for the heck of it, i install MIUI, and usb mount is still not working, this is driving me nuts!
Did you make sure you did a full wipe of the phone before you installed the rom?.

everytime i reboot the phone, the pc sees it for a few secs now then unknown device... i THINK that we're on to something o.o
Have you tried using another usb cable? As if it is broken that would explain the problems you are having. Abd have you tried it of a different pc?
And if you have an external sd card in the phone, try removing it And then rebooting.

Same thing, could be an appilcation conflict on the phone ? when i reboot the window show and then goes, maybe the phone is a loading an app which screws up with the USB?
Have you tried the above?.
Have you tried enabling usb mass storage?.
I dint think it would be an app, as they are apps that people use all the time.
Did you make sure you used the currect root method for your model?
Did you make sure your phone was either a I9100 or and I9100T model before before tou rooted. If it was the wring model rhat might explain your problems, what model is your phone?
If none of the above works the only thing I can think of is that the phones hardware is broken.

You could try downloading Mobile Odin Pro from Google Play. Then go to Samfirmware.com and download your original firmware that came with the phone,( NOT A CUSTOM ROM). Put the firmware on the root directory of your sd card. Run Mobile Odin and install the firmware.

You say you already tried stock rom with Siyah Kernal. How did you get back to stock did you flash or use Odin?
I would make a backup, Use Superwipe script and use Odin to load Stock Ics 4.0.4 and then try. If that fails you can always restore back to your backup and someone else maybe able to provide a solution.
TBH it doesn't sound like its your PC if you have tried it on other PCs.

Uninstall Kies completely from your PC when its uninstalled reboot your PC then make sure the Kies folder located here is deleted
Program Files / Samsung / Kies
Next download and install Kies from the Samsung web site, reboot your PC once rebooted plug your phone in to the USB (preferably with the original USB cable), let the drivers install themselves.
Once installed you should have it working again.

Done, it says USB device not recognized.
I'm currently installing Kies on a laptop, if it works it means that my motherboard is broken or something, if it doesn't it means my phones usb port is broken.

Pants. I'm in the same situation, but my phone isn't rooted. So I can't use mobile odin. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Is there any way of using stock recovery to either flash an official image or perhaps root?
Mike.
So I soft bricked my S II plus and I when tried to access ODIN to flash an official ROM , ODIN doesnt detect it , i've tried installing all the drivers ,changing USB cables and even pc's still it doesn't work , I got a fried to bring his S III to test with my pc and ODIN doesnt register even his device .
is there any way i can flash to stock ROM and just turn everything back to normal using CWM ? I just dont wanna root my phone no mpre

Pretty sure it was Immortalneo, so have a look at his posts specifically; should help you to narrow it down a bit.

Nothing seems to be working to get ODIN to detect it :/
I tried to flash ROM with CWM it just says "(bad)"
If you've tried everything (and I mean everything. Not 2 or 3 things) including trying with different PC's, without a screenshot/pic of the Odin output we'd have absolutely no idea why it's failing. However, if you'd care to give us a pic/screenshot of the Odin output when you try & flash, maybe we can figure out why.

I would have thought my post was pretty clear. You're obviously out of your depth & shouldn't be messing with your phone. What we need is a pic/screenshot of the Odin screen from your PC when it's failing like this
I just got too excited when everyone was rooting their phones , shouldn't have done it at all :/
My problem is no (yellow bar) is coming out from odin when i plug in download mode at first it could but after i formatted my phone from CWM it couldnt detect anymore , and I tried with two other laptops and even a different cable
Im so sorry to take up your time :/
(ODIN just looks like normal when i plug everything in :S)
OK. I thought Odin could detect OK but the flash was failing at that stage. So you still can't get the phone & PC to recognise each other given everything you've tried.
Honestly, I can't think of anything else you can do. I'd suggest you keep trying tho. Not a lot else you can do beyond that (Unless there's something really simple/obvious we're all missing here).
Edit -Right. List everything, and I mean everything you've tried to try and get the phone & PC to recognise each other/get Odin to work. Every single little step. Details. The more details you provide, the better the chance you get your phone fixed. The less details you provide, the less likely that is to happen.

This gonna sound CRAZY but I'l give it a try , maybe I reformat my pc and try again ? :3
I'l get back to you guys when I tried that?
Don't do that just yet. That's a little drastic. Read my edit to my PP first.

Ok , I have tried
-Installing Kies , samsung Usb drivers and every driver i could fine for samsung (ADB)
- I tried both ODIN v1.85 ,3.04
-different USB cables
-Diferent pc's (2 laptops)
-Friends S III ( sadly even his wasn't detected)
-Formatting every single option there was in CWM
-tried flashing using CWM (failed with installation aborted *bad*)
- I even ended Kies processor before running ODIN
- windows update
You missed:-
Different USB ports (and different USB ports on different PC's - you must use a 'mainboard' port, if you don't know what it is, Google it).
Try Odin V1.3
Have you used the USB cable that came with the phone ? Uninstall Kies. Reboot. Redownload Kies from Samsung website. Reinstall. Reboot. Run Odin as administrator in Windows (R-click the Odin .exe & choose 'run as administrator').
That's all I got given it's almost 3.30am here.

There, your friend's SIII wasn't recognised. You wanna pay a friend a visit to use his/her pc with no kies pre-installed. You go and get it's latest version and repeat all steps.
When you say "kies processor" you mean one kies application running or all 4 that there are actually running?
Sent from the little guy
Well now I have reinstalled Kies , but this time when i plug the usb be in , I can hear my pc detecting it but ( Mobile USB Modem 1.0) fails to install in windows update .
and i've tried with my 2 other laptops without kies installed
oh and I end task for KiesPDLR.exe (said by someone in a post here in Xda)
Are you hitting 'end process tree' when you close Kies in Windoze Task Manager ? It's important anything associated w/Kies is closed, not just the main application.
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum. I've got a Samsung i777 on android 2.3.6 kernel 2.6.35.7 build number gingerbread.uckk6
I've recently bought this phone off ebay
My phone does not get detected by windows 7 or Macbook. I've tried changing the USB flex cable with I9100 v2.3 but still no luck.
When I connect USB port it beeps and shows mtp-initialization/mtp-connected on the phone but it is not shown on windows. It says USB cannot recognise the device. I've got a s3 and ideos x3 both of them are detected.
I've installed kies 3 on my laptop.
I had to swtich off the wifi on the phone because it consumes a lot of battery, I think it is because of the android version I'm using!
I want to root the phone and unlock it!!
Any help is appreciated!

I'm guessing the problem is the Samsung drivers you have installed for the s3. Try uninstalling those and installing the correct drivers for s2.

you can check this thread for driver

You most likely need a new cable. Happened to me once! Could be the drivers but I HIGHLY recommend just trying a new USB cable.
Thank you guys for all your help really appreciate it!
I have tried all the steps mentioned above tried to uninstall all the previous drivers I had and installed the new driver as mentioned in the above link but no luck
I tried it on a friends computer with a different cable still it shows the USB device is not recognised!!

Did you install another ROM? It might help to Wipe system, Data, ETC! it appears to be a software problem. Or at least my guess is the ROM your using.
The Galaxy phones all use the same USB drivers whether it's an S2, S3, S4, etc., so if the installed drivers were working for your S3, it's unlikely to be a driver issue.
Can you boot it into download mode? If you happen to have a USB jig, that's the easiest. Otherwise, power off the phone, unplug the USB cable, hold Vol +/Vol-, then plug in the USB cable. It should go into ODIN download mode. See if Windows detects the phone that way. If so, it very well could be something weird with the OS installed (although it appears to be stock).
If you can get into download mode, you can flash a stock kernel to make sure you are starting fresh. A good file repository is found here. I recommend the stock UCKH7 image I777_UCKH7_OCD_No_BL.7z (you'll also get root).
And yes, the UCKK6 release had a serious bug related to the wifi that could drain your battery. Best to go with UCKH7.
You could also download an app that allows you to enter download mode.

I was able to boot to download mode by holding the vol +/- key and then plugging in the USB cable but there is no movement from the computer it doesn't make a sound nor does it detect. I tried restarting the phone then I get a notification on windows that USB device not recognised!
Yes I guess this rom is useless, if the wifi is switched on then battery would not even last 6 hrs!

Are you saying to get a balloon notification in the tray that says the USB device is not recognized? A possible reason for that is a faulty USB cable or USB port (funny enough, I actually got that message last night when I was playing around with my Captivate, and switching USB ports made it work). I know you said you've tried other computers an another USB cable, but that's about my only idea. Maybe there's some debris inside the connector that's messing up the connection.
When you say you changed the "USB flex cable", are you talking about the internal connector and board inside the phone? If so, perhaps the I777 connector board is actually a little different than the I9100 board and causing a compatibility issue.
The bug in UCKK6 related to wifi didn't affect everybody, but it definitely affected a lot of people (based upon reports here).

If you have an SD card, you can download another ROM on that SD card from your computer and then you can install custom recovery (CWM) and then install the ROM from SD card.

First ill run you through the problem I had. Just for reference did you use Mr. Cooks script before flashing Cyanogenmod 11? One of his scripts for cleaning before flashing, actually deletes a certain file, not to keen on which one. What it results in though is not being able to flash OF ROMS and some certain custom ROMS! So id recommend alliance's ROM! As for the "Getting the ROM on your device, you could put the ROM on your SD though recovery "Mount and storage/Mount mass storage/" or just use a micro sd card adapter and move it on there that way.
Thanks for your reply. Would you mind sending me the link on how to do that step by step as mentioned I'm new to Samsung phones and also this forum.

What state is your phone currently in? Is it still not detected by the computer? You are still on 2.3.6, correct?
If it's still not being detected by your computer, I'm not sure if you can flash anything needed using the stock recovery. I know that when I flashed stock JB, I was able to boot into stock recovery and directly apply the standard CWM update file here. It will give boot into a temporary CWM that should allow you to flash other ZIP files (like a ROM), although I had trouble doing that (so I ended up flashing the AJK_v4.9_NoSwap.zip kernel using the MobileOdin android app, which gave a permanent CWM recovery).
I'm not sure if this same process works with the 2.3.6 recovery. However, in order to get the stock recovery to see the internal SD card, I had to run adb shell commands to mount the partition (meaning I had to have a working connection from the computer).
Solved!!!
HI Guys,
Many many thanks for all your responses!
I have changed the USB flex cable again to an older version v2.2 and my phone is currently being detected by kies! So relieved thanks a lot for all your help..now the rooting begins!!:laugh:
