Hi all! The rooting guide of Intratech given here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 DOES NOT WORK! I have an SGS II Kernel version of KE8 (India) and I tried to follow the steps given in the guide, but when I open ODIN and connect my phone in Download mode with my laptop via USB Cable, ODIN is not connecting to the phone. The box meant to turn yellow does NOT change color. Nothing happens at all. Why is this so? I cannot post in the relevant thread because I am a newbie in the forun
Have you installed kies first to get the drivers?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yes, of course, I have the latest version of Kies installed on my laptop and I use it regularly to connect with my SGS II. I kept Kies closed when trying the rooting procedure as mentioned in Intratech's guide. Started phone in download mode. Opened Odin on laptop, then connected phone via USB........the box which is supposed to turn yellow on connection, doesn't light up. Nothing happens at all.

I suggest to you that the overwhelming majority of the people who use the guide will disagree with you and provide evidence to the fact that it does, indeed, work. The fact that it does not work for you suggest that you are doing something wrong or have a problem with your computer.
I would suggest that you ensure that KIES is also closed in the system tray of your computer before opening Odin and connecting the phone. Also ensure that your computer has an internet connection and is able to connect to windows update to download and install drivers. If that doesn't work then change USB port or computer.
By all means, if you find a way that works then feel free to write your own guide. More information is good and maybe others might find your method, if you discover one, easier to follow.
@Intratech: Hi. Thanks for your reply. Ok, so it is not working for me. Can you help?
My laptop is working on Windows 7 Home Premium which is upto date in all respects. My USB port is working fine as I am able to connect my SGS II to Kies through that. Kies was closed when I tried to connect to Odin. Odin version is 1.85. While the phone (in download mode) is connected to the laptop, and Odin is Open, nothing happens. Nothing.

Is kies closed in the system tray as well?
Yes, Kies is closed in system tray also. Fully closed. Odin opens, and I see the Odin screen as per your screen shots, but the box which is supposed to light up yellow, does not.
Are you using the Samsung USB cable or a HTC one?
Samsung USB cable which came with the phone box pack. I can see the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes checked. Nothing else is checked, not even the PDA button. The box saying ID:COM (which is supposed to light up) is blank.
u need to check pda and load the file u want to flash it
then click on start
Look in your program and features list, found in control panel, and see if you have a listing for Samsung USB driver for mobile phones there. If you do then uninstall it and uninstall KIES. Download a new copy of KIES from Samsung and install it. After installing it, make sure you don't have USB debug ticked, connect the phone and leave it until all the drivers install. After that remove the device and lose KIES. Put the tick in USB debugging and connect the phone and leave it so that any needed drivers install. After this put the phone in download mode and connect it, without opening KIES or ODIN, and leave it to download any drivers needed. If it downloads and install any drivers wait for it to finish, once it does then you can go ahead and use Odin normally.
If this doesn't work your PC is at fault, fix it.

How you going to flash without connecting to the device?
Turn USB debugging off on phone .USB connection should be to a motherboard port .
Reboot phone set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode .
Connect cable wait for Windows to load drivers . You should be able to browse phone via Windows explorer if USB drivers are correct .If so remove cable and reboot phone to download mode . Open Odin select files to load connect cable .
That fails then
Rooting guide of intratech does not work! for you your PC or your phone but for everyone else so give up .
jje
@cyberwarfare: Yes, I tried that. The file loaded, I pressed start. Yet nothing happened. I just saw one line notification in the left hand side column of Odin, which read something like "successes: 0/failures: 0". I am speaking from memory here. Nothing really happened even after loading PDA and pressing the Start button.
@Intratech: Yes, both Kies and Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones are there in my program list. I downloaded Kies from their India support site : http://www.samsung.com/in/support/d...1&prd_mdl_cd=GT-I9100LKAINU&srchword=GT-I9100
Worth mentioning here that the USB debug check box was ticked when I tried to Root with Odin.
So basically, you're asking me to uninstall & reinstall Kies and its drivers. Ok, will do. It will take time so will do it when I have a little more time on my hands. Thanks for your help & your time. I appreciate. If you have time, then look at my other post here which says, "7 major issues with SGS II" ...... and help with solving my other issues like that of bluetooth not connecting and phone ringer's erratic behaviour. Thanks a ton.
Mate I haven't used the Indian firmware so I'm not too sure about troubleshooting it. There is an Indian thread in the general forum where you may be able to get more help with the issues you have.
@JJEgan: Thanks for replying. All my USB Ports are on the motherboard itself, worth mentioning that the same USB port works fine when I connect the phone to the laptop. Am able to transfer files to and fro via the same USB port.
"set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode".....how do I do that? Where to find that in phone settings?
I am able to browse the contents/files on the phone very well...so this proves my drivers are fine. So which basically means, that Intratech's rooting guide does not work FOR ME! Happy? This may be a problem specific to the India specific phones....Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE8-CL214845

@Intratech: Thanks mate. I've posted my problem in the India specific thread also.....lets see if someone replies. But the problem is not with the rooting procedure, the problem is that I can't even seem to get started with the procedure as there is no connection between Odin and the phone.
Nah, it's not with the firmware. The other Indians who use it have no issue following the guide.
Please try and reinstall everything as I've stated and see if that work. Also, when you go into download mode what do you see on the screen?
In download mode I see a static warning on the screen which tells me of the risk and tells me I have to press the VOL down button to cancel this, and there is a yellow triangle at the bottom. The screen stays there as I connect the USB cable to the laptop.

You need to read the instructions start off by reading what it says on that screen .Do not read half of the instructions like you are its very dangerous flashing if you cannot read and follow the instructions and i advice you dont flash .
The screen message you are not reading is the sentence above the one you posted .

Right this is your problem, you have not put the phone in download mode as yet. Press volume up at this screen to enter download mode and now you will connect.
Hi guys, was having a few problems with my phone and decided that I'd flash the stock ROM again.
Went into ODIN as you do, and as I was flashing the stock ROM, for some reason or another I heard the disconnect/reconnect noise that Windows makes when you remove a device then FAIL came up in ODIN.
Now my phone's stuck with a phone connecting to a computer on the charge screen, it can't go into recovery mode but it can go into download mode.
Tried connecting it to my PC in download mode, and even though I've got the Samsung USB Drivers installed I get the 'USB Device Not Recognized' message, which means I can't flash the stock ROM in ODIN anymore.
Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

Hi!
Hi, you guys install ADB on your system? And also USB debugging mode on the phone?
Should be turned on which can be done by going to Settings>Applications>Development and select USB debugging.
Try this, for me its works

I can't even turn the phone on at the moment. Only thing I can do is go into Download mode.
Help
Try this, take out the battery, then press and hold the ON button for 7-10 seconds (the longer the better). Reinsert the battery, then press ON button to start it. This is a soft reset, and wipes the temporary memory and empties all remaining power in the circuits. This helps on many phones and even laptops that won't start properly or show anything on screen.
If this does not work, try the next step. Again, do as above. But after inserting the battery, do not turn the phone on, but press and hold the ON button and the HOME button at the same time for 7-10 seconds. This is a hard reset, and works best if done after a soft reset. Just be sure the battery has at least some juice in it and isn't empty. If possible, try with another battery if this does not work.
Hope this helps!
Try going to device manager, you will probably find your device as an unrecognized device, uninstall the drivers, unplug and then plug it again and see.
if the prblm is hard then do a fresh installation of kies,device etec etc.....but if u have ur device in the device list on pc then first uninstall it...if possible try recovery mode and reset...
I tried everything you guys have suggested and none of that worked. Anyone else got any ideas?
Try everything (and I mean everything) on the following list. Given the problems you've had & that you've already tried some of these things, I'd try another PC. And if it doesn't work first go on another PC, then go thru the list & try everything on the 2nd PC.
*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. Also run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC.
Tried all the above and a different PC.
It didn't work. I could fix the phone if the computer would pick up that the phone's connected - it just doesn't.
Total Removal of KIES including registry entries .
Reboot PC install a new copy of Kies .
Phone backup data and factory reset .
Set phone to USB storage mode using the Samsung cable connect to PC and wait for Windows to find USB drivers .Remove cable reboot phone .
Start Kies connect with cable wait for Kies to find the phone .
Note USB Debugging OFF and cable connects to a direct motherboard port only .
Nothing then only further suggestion would be to Format the PC and start over with a clean Windows install .

That's a forced download mode.
Try a blind flash to a stock firmware from Odin while connected to your computer with the phone on this screen. Even if Odin doesn't seem to register that it's connected. I've heard of at least one person this worked for.
At this point, you really have nothing to lose by trying this.
Bit of an update, I plugged it in again and it installed some drivers and ODIN picked it up. Only for it to disconnect a few moments later, now it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting over and over but ODIN's not picking it up.

I know you said you tried a different cable, but that sounds suspiciously like a bad cable.
It's not the cable, thanks any way.
Update 2: I managed to get it to connect long enough to flash the stock Kernel. Still didn't reboot. Then I connected it again and flashed the stock ROM, which bricked it again. Then I flashed the stock kernel and it works!
However, there is a problem:
When the phone gets turned off, it constantly shows the charging battery icon with warning triangle and a thermostat next to it. I can't turn the phone on because of this unless I go into Recovery mode and reboot system.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I in no way recommend this, and not sure I would do it if I ever started having this issue...
BUT - I have heard that some people faced with this condition have fixed it by physically moving the small wafer board inside the USB port with a precision screwdriver (gently!) to a more "centered" position.
If that doesn't work, look at replacing that part. Either via warranty service if you still have it, or a service center.
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.
try to turn off phone
take the battery off then put it back
reinstall kies
after installing kies connect usb wire at the main usb hub
then connect it to your phone
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" ?

EDIT: So I guess you have to plug the phone into the computer to get into download mode, but it should work so long as Odin is already running. Your picture seems to indicate that Odin is indeed recognizing your phone and attempting to write to it, so that's good.
You should tell us what you're trying to do, what packages you downloaded, what happened to your phone beforehand, what guides you're following, etc. More information will help us figure out what you're having problems with. Then maybe someone smarter than I can help you figure out what's happening.

plug in your phone to the computer (while its on) and hold down power, volume up and down buttons. when the thing pops up, let go of all the buttons and hit volume up, that should bring you into download mode.
OR
turn ur phone off, while plugging in your powered-off phone to the computer, hold the volume up and down button.
I edited my post again. Tell us what you're trying to do, someone else will hopefully help you out, because I'm pretty stumped at this point.

I'm trying to go to stock rom, like firmware that came out-of-the-box but everytime i try to use ODIN it doesnt let me, ive tried mutiple ways such as disabling debugging, trying to use different .tar files, different versions of odin, different ways of going into odin (starting odin first, plugging phone in/out of odin) restarting my phone several times, pulling out sim/sd card, making sure kies isnt running in the background, etc. none of these ways work for me. everytime i go, ODIN gets stuck on SetupConnection.. or it goes after SetupConnection but then fails at Complete(Write) operation failed. i have also tried using a one click thing where i just plug in the phone, and then i hit start and it should go (Picture attatched) but that doesnt seem to work either. ive been doing this the ENTIRE day and its starting to frustrate me because there is no way to go back to stock firmware in case i have to give in my phone for repair or something.
I didn't say this earlier because its obvious. But u do have the proper drivers already installed for the phone I assume....

yea i already have the right drivers installed, i checked in device manager before i started
This could be due to a number of possible issues: The computer you are using, USB port, USB cable, usb driver, user error. Those are the main things to look at.
In Windows 7 "Uninstall or change a program" dialog (or Add Remove Programs in earlier versions) you should see SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones. If you suspect it is a driver issue, uninstall this item, reboot and reinstall, then reboot again.
However, first I would suspect a bad cable or a bad port. Just changing ports, or changing to a good cable (the one that came with the phone is usually the best choice) could solve the problem. Or using a different computer.
Just to make sure it's not user error, here is a set of checkpoints:
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing. Success!

Hi all,
I'm in a complete head spin so I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on an issue I'm facing.
As the title says, I currently have a Buzz TV XPL 3000 android box. I'm trying to flash "Aidan's Android TV Custom Rom" onto it. But no matter what I try to do, I simply cannot get the Buzz TV box to interact with my Windows 10 PC.
I have 2 different male-to-male USB cables that I've tried plugging into the box and into my PC, but there is no link between them. The PC nor the Android box don't acknowledge any kind of connection. I know a lot of people will probably say that my cables aren't data cables, but I've actually used one of them previously to flash another Android device.
Whenever I plug the USB cables into my Android box and PC, the ONLY thing that happens, is the PC powers up the Android box. I've tried turning on USB debugging tools from the developer menu, but nothing. The PC doesn't even make a sound when I plug the cable in and there is nothing listed under device manager. Nothing appears on USB Burning Tools under devices.. Just nothing.
I've tried plugging in the USB cable, while holding down the reset button (located on the bottom of the box), but all that does is power on the Android box and load into "Android Recover". Still nothing detected on USB Burning Tools and still no acknowledgement from the PC that a USB device has been connected.
The options I get in the Android Recovery menu are:
Reboot System Now
Apply Update From EXT
Apply Update From Data
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Burn Keys
I've tried selecting "Apply Update From EXT" and manually selecting the .img file. But it says it cannot verify the signature.
I'm literally out of ideas. Can anyone who knows what they're doing please help me!

I know a lot of people will probably say that my cables aren't data cables, but I've actually used one of them previously to flash another Android device.
Whenever I plug the USB cables into my Android box and PC, the ONLY thing that happens, is the PC powers up the Android box. I've tried turning on USB debugging tools from the developer menu, but nothing. The PC doesn't even make a sound when I plug the cable in and there is nothing listed under device manager. Nothing appears on USB Burning Tools under devices.. Just nothing.
I've tried plugging in the USB cable, while holding down the reset button (located on the bottom of the box), but all that does is power on the Android box and load into "Android Recover". Still nothing detected on USB Burning Tools and still no acknowledgement from the PC that a USB device has been connected.
The options I get in the Android Recovery menu are:
Reboot System Now
Apply Update From EXT
Apply Update From Data
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Burn Keys
I've tried selecting "Apply Update From EXT" and manually selecting the .img file. But it says it cannot verify the signature.
I'm literally out of ideas. Can anyone who knows what they're doing please help me!

Hi, You Might Have To Try And Figure Out Mask rom Mode To Force your Device To Be Detected By USB Burn Tool If Using The Reset Button is Unsuccessful, Look For Mask rom Mode Information, You Can Upload Pictures Of Both Sides Of Your Logic Board we can try and figure it out

Hey man,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I managed to get it working. Decided to give it another shot this morning and for some reason, first time around it worked. USB Burning Tool instantly picked the box up, installed perfectly and now I have it up and running!! It definitely seems a lot more snappier than my last firmware.
I do have a question though. With the previous stock firmware, my TV would pick the Android box up with a HDR signal. It no longer does this now. Is that to be expected with this rom or is there something I need to do?
Sir

Hi all,
I'm in a complete head spin so I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on an issue I'm facing.
As the title says, I currently have a Buzz TV XPL 3000 android box. I'm trying to flash "Aidan's Android TV Custom Rom" onto it. But no matter what I try to do, I simply cannot get the Buzz TV box to interact with my Windows 10 PC.
