[Q] how to get Odin to read my GS3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the drivers installed and they work great whenever my phone is not in download mode or odin mode. As soon as i go into download mode the drivers don't recognize it. Odin has nothing in the ID:COM. what am I doing wrong?

Is it still connected to the same usb connector, and samsung kies finds it ?
I had problems with the "non orginal" usb a to mini b cable so i took the orginal one.
And you need to have the usb drivers for kies installed, and when you try odin
make sure that kiestray and keis is terminated and nothing else communicating
with the device and put the phone in download menu by holding "volume down - home and power" down until it boots into download mode then press volume up now you should be able to connect the phone and it identifies it.
Hope it works out for you.
And have you tried on another pc too ?

thank-you

Close Kies from the system tray.
It is closed but again same problem
Are you using a HTC or Nokia usb cable?
1. use the original cable
2. kill all kies* pocesses in task manager
3. kill/shutdown all other htc/nokia/whatsoever software if present on your PC
4. try different USB plug (my friend had such problem with odin)
5. try different PC ;-)
should work...

Odin not recognizing Tab in Download mode

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

Unable to Connect to Samsung Kies App

Hi All,
I have recently got a new Galaxy S2 on VF UK and when I try and connect it to the Kies application, I keep getting the error message;
Reconnect the devise in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) Mode.
Current connection mode is not supported by Kies.
I have tried using the debug mode and does not resolve the issue.
Anyone else having the issue?
Cheers,
Dave.
I butted heads with Kies over time too
Did you perhaps turn on the USB mode so that the phone acts like its some USB drive? As for Kies you just plug it in without setting any mode.
If not...
I would suggest, to uninstall, and then reinstall Kies. Best download the latest version if you are not sure you have that one.
After the install don't start Kies.
First connect the phone to the computer, you don't have to put it into any mode, just plug it in. Down in the bottom right corner there should pop up some message about drivers being installed/configured.
When you get the message that it was all okay you unplug the phone.
Then start up Kies.
Then again plug in the phone.
If all goes well it should then it should recognize the phone.
I usually ran into trouble when the usb driver for the phone was not installed correctly, and having Kies on and having having the driver being configured would often result for me in drivers that had errors.

Hi Mario387,
Thank you for your advise but I have tried what you have suggested and still having the same issue.
I don't think that I have set my devise to be a USB devise - how do I tell if I have it in the right mode?
Under the phoneutil the usb mode is PDA (*#7284#)
Any advise would be deeply appreciated
Cheers,
Dave.

then turn it on.. hope it helps
Tried to connect it, drag down the pullbar, then clicking on the mtp-thingy. And then click "enable usb storage" ?

[Q] Did I brick my Samsung SGH-I777? Please advise.

Hello All,
I had Jellybam 10.2 and had trouble moving to 10.3 update. So....
I tried to flash a newer version of Philz CWM 5.10.9. it failed and threw the screen on the phone to Phone -> Yellow Triangle -> Monitor, followed by: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I tried the Vol UP & Vol Down and Power button to get in to ODIN mode download mode - just futile - could not get it.
I installed the Kies and the USB Driver - the phone is recognized as a Samsung Mobile CDC Composite device and Samsung Mobile USB Modem but it shows as Unspecified - Gadget Serial in devices and Printers in windows 7. Kies is unable to connect to the phone.
Have I bricked the phone? Is it time to move on and get myself a new phone? Any assistance would help.
Please advise. Thanks

No. You should be able to recover the phone easily.
You can find the various resources you will need in the Download Repository.
Make sure you have the correct usb driver installed on your windows computer. Look in the add/remove programs dialog for Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones. This should be present because you installed Kies, but if not you should install it first.
Download a stock firmware. I would suggest the latest version, UCMD8. You will need the full version.
Download a version of Odin3, preferably v1.85, if you don't already have it on your pc. Open oden on the desktop.
With the phone off, connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. Now hold down all three buttons vol-, vol+ & pwr. When the first screen appears, hit vol+ and you will be in download mode.
Now put the firmware tar file in the PDA slot of Odin. Start. Done.
Let us know if you have any questions.

help with twrp/odin

I've been flashing custom roms on android devices for several years, but the Gtab S3 is the first Samsung device I've ever dealt with. On top of that I normally use ubuntu and I'm not familiar with window. I'd be most appreciative for your help with odin:
1) When I first plugged the S3 into a window machine I thought it would complain about lack of usb driver. It does not, to my surprise (it seems unlikely that that laptop would have the drivers already installed but maybe I was wrong); nothing happens on the Window side, and S3 says that it's getting slow charging.
In any case I installed the OEM usb driver in https://www.xda-developers.com/where-to-download-android-usb-drivers/ and then plug in the S3, but again nothing happens.
2) I installed odin 3.12.7 but it does not seem to see my S3 (see the attached screenshot).
3) The OP of this thread says
"put your device in download mode"
How?
I did try to google around but I have not been able to find useful help (e.g. as the screenshot shows my odin does not look like the one in step 6 of www.techbeasts.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/). I enable USB debuggin mode & OEM unlock.
Many thanks for your generous help.
Maybe I cam help.
First have odin up on your pc with the usb cable plugged into the pc but not the tab.
Then with the tab turned off simultaneously hold the power, vol down, and home buttons. The tab should boot into download mode. Hit vol up to get into download.
Now plug the usb cable into the tab.
You should see odin recognize your device and then be able to flash.
You need the Samsung USB drivers and DOWNLOAD mode.
