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.

[Q] Odin not detecting phone and CWM cant mount emmc

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

Q. need usb modem driver for flashing

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 .

thanks managed get ics up n running at last

[Q] Have I completely bricked my ACE?

Hi there,
I tried a number of ways to change the ROM on my phone from the stock to an upgraded or custom ROM. Using Odin I was always able to at least get the stock ROM back up and running.
This time I tried ClockWorkMod and something has gone wrong. I cannot turn the phone on, boot into recovery mode, or download mode and the phone is completely unresponsive. Nothing appears on the screen.
I've tried re-flashing the stock ROM through Odin and it will recognize that the phone is there and connected via USB however when I try to flash the stock ROM back onto it the program hangs at:
<1> Setup connection...
I'm running from Administrator on Windows 7, I don't have Kies installed, I have the most up to date Samsung USB drivers.
I really want to at least get the phone into download mode to flash the stock ROM back on... is really hope there is a way to do this.

just curious... how you try re-flashing through odin, while the phone can not boot in download mode?
when you charge the phone, does it show the battery indication?
I get no battery charge indicator while the phone is plugged in via usb...
However Odin does recognize that I have the phone plugged in. I hoped that this would be enough to send a flash to it through Odin but it gets stuck at '<1> Setup Connection'
I'm currently installing Android SDK. If the computer knows it's there maybe I can send a command to make it reboot into download mode?
you need to have kies to let odin work

Ok re-installed Kies and gave it a go.
While Kies was open I got:
<1> --- cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5
I'm assuming because Kies was trying to do something with it at the same time.
While Kies is not open I get:
<1> setup connection... (<Hangs here like before)
Installed android SDK.
Tried running: adb reboot download
Response was: error: device not found
Both Kies and Odin know that something is there, but the SDK doesn't seem like it knows it's there and doesn't look like it can send commands to it

first you needed to type adb devices
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
adb devices just brings up an empty list...
It says 'List of devices attached' and then nothing
I just really want to get it into download mode again, Odin and Kies know it's there to an extent but can't really do anything with it just yet...
Hiya!
Have exact same problem with my Ace...totally black but Odin find it. Then i stuck with that annoying "setup connection"
I connect my phone(or brick!!) with usb-cable, have no battery in it. Then i press vol down+home+power buttons and I think its in download mode. It´s just that I can´t see it becouse the screen is black.

Run
Code:
adb devices
And that will tell you if it is actually in download mode... it should list the device then the mode it is in on the right..
Most of the phones that couldnt boot into download mode were diagnosed as bricked, from what ive seen here in XDA, the SGA community.
However, you could spend a small penny on 3 100ohms resistors to create a USB jig as a last resort.
Try this :
-Put out battery
-Plug the usb cable pc - ace
-Make manipulation for download mod : home + power + sound - and plug battery in the same time
-Device go to download mod
Flash trought odin =)

Was it called ROM Manager on Market/Play? If so lie to service centre saying kies crashed when updating, there is nothing you can do. Sorry :/

Or try tu use unbrick plug, which is nothing more than normal usb plug witch resistor 300K or set of resistors equal to 303K(it is more preciouse) shorted to 4 and 5 pin.
Are youll guys serious?? look at the date please ---feb 08 that guy hss probably fixed or thrown his phone out....who are youll talking to???
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB
i think you have permanently bricked your ace, take it back to the store and say odin crashed while you were flashing gingerbread 2.3.7
Now I tried everything except the USB jig. I try to make one in next weekend. Else I must tanke it to the Samsung store and say something smart I let u guys know how it goes. Thanks for all help this far:thumbup:

My Pc wont pick up my Galaxy Note

Ok so i think i bricked my phone but not completely happened when i flashed CWM Touch but must of not of been the version for the note. I can boot it up goes to Samsung logo but then all black this happened when i went to my Rom and rebooted it to recovery to see the CWM touch worked so no its just staying on the logo and I cant reboot it to Recovery mode anymore I can however boot to download mode some freinds over at BlackStar Rom Thread helped out how to fix it I just cant get my darn PC to install the drivers even if i Downloaded them on the Samsung Website and still says Unknown Device...
Any help will be appreciated ...I am very unhappy without my note lol...but yea i am
I would uninstall any Samsung Driver you have and then download fresh just the driver here: http://d-h.st/jfx then reinstall them and reboot you pc after uninstall and reinstalling.
And if you are running BStar, bigfau doesn't mind if you post your questions or issues in his thread, he and the folks there are very helpful and like keeps all in the thread.
Just a side note....
Okay will ask in the thread then thanks also tried what you said and uninstalled kies still get unknow device
So you have no Com connection in download mode while using Odin ?
If you have download mode, then Odin should work .....as the drivers on the device side are still working..
Or are you seeing the download " limp" mode ???
With the pictures of a computer and phone on your phone screen ????
If so ...go to the " note super everything thread " and scroll down to the post ...." Odin tips for better success "....
It explains a bit more ....
Good luck ......g
yes i just get a error 43 says windows has stopped device when i try to load the drivers it does nothing says has the most best driver for the phone i get into download mode shows the pic of android and says on top odin mode and my phones model number other than that it wont read to my pc so i can get the install going via odin or kies i currently have kies uninstalled did as Bigjoe said and uninstalled drivers and reinstalled all with always rebooting my pc
still no sucess thinking of buying some usb to micro cords and see if that will help my pc still says unknown device even after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers

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.
Please assist
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..

Maybe solved it
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...
