Hey guys and girls.
Bought a S3 few weeks ago and problems started yesterday evening. I started KIES and it said an upgrade was available. I started download it but something happened and it failed.
I have tried reinstalling KIES and its mobile driver several times
I have rebooted the phone and computer several times.
I also factoryreseted the phone via settings
I have resetted cache/dalvik
I have tried two computers
Also restored back to an earlier backup I made in CWM
Tried different cables
Removed SIM/MicroSD
The phone charges directly when connected to the wall, charging via computer works too, sometimes after installing kies it doesnt charge at all OR is "delayed" Up to 30 seconds.
Odin doesnt recognize the phone even when in download mode.
What could be wrong?!!
"International I9300" bought in Sweden (Came with firmware for Germany)
Rooted CF-Root with SuperSU, Manager
dont know what could be wrong but you can try connecting to a different computer so it can automatically install the drive with a fresh start
Samsung Kies: connection problems
1 Make sure to always have the latest installed version of Kies
2 For owners of Windows Vista/Seven start Kies in administrator mode.
3 Disable any antivirus software, antispyware, or firewalls on your PC.
4 Connect your phone to your pc using the launcher by default of the Samsung (Touchwiz). Launcher alternative may not be recognized by kies. Close any programs in the background on your phone and pc.
5 Make sure that in the Settings > Wireless and network > USB Settings is selected Samsung Kies or ask the connection (only for Gingerbread).
If already selected try to choose any item and then reset one of the two mentioned.
6 Make sure that the debug mode usb is disabled
7 Try to use another USB port on your pc. Not all usb ports may not be able to deliver the power needed to power the device.
8 Restart both your phone and your pc.
9 Try to reinstall the drivers for the Galaxy. To do this open Kies, go to the Tools menu and then on install driver.

Of course, the suggestions above are on stock firmware, without kernel modified or root permissions enabled. In this case, it is necessary to force update via odin.

Any particular from "Product line" ?
Edit: nevermind
If your rooted what about mobile odin and flashing your official rom through it? I know youve resetted but maybe a reflash might fix something? Or if your not rooted try a full wipe and cache wipe from the default recovery?

mobile odin is the app version of odin and isnt used on the pc, if you go this method I would recommend pro version as you can apply root as you flash roms. If you use the free version and it doesnt cure problem you wont be able to root until u fix connection problem.

edit:- quickest way of removing cwm is flashing an official rom, unfortunately that poses a problem in your case :/

Well if it succeeds flashing original recovery from somewhere I could return it to the store..
Any other ideas? As i dont feel like returning it at all. Im trying to remove kies and drivers again now.
Update: No progress yet, thought it would fix by itself after a day or two but no
That Mobile Odin pro, I can use it to flash a stock rom, remove root (I know its removed with the rom) and reset the counter?

It depends if you you want to keep root flash stock firmware with Mobile Odin Pro with Everroot option, if not use pc Odin and after reboot do a factory reset. Reset flashcounter before flashing with Odin with Triangle Away 1.70 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114. If you want to support the dev buy it from Playstore.

I have already purchasd TriangleAway
It doesnt matter if i have root or not, if the problem isnt fixed I have to return it to the store where i bought so they can fix it/return it to samsung.
Odin on my computer wont recognize the phone at all, not even in Download Mode. So I guess i ahve to use the mobile versiona anyway. I think i Have a legit XXLFB nordic or UK version.

Hi, this happened to me today as well. I hadn't changed anything, phone is stock not rooted. plugged into pc to copy some music onto the phone and my pc just kept saying usb device had malfunctioned. I tried it on another computer and it was the same. yet i have copied files back and forth loads of times before. luckily for me powering the phone on and off fixed this for me? Have you tried powering off and on, and then if that fails a hard reset. *#272*yourimei# that just might fix it.
Try to disable USB debugging...

Dialing 272 has to do with choosing the csc file, has nothing to do with your problem.
You might try doing a hard reset *2767*3855#, backup personal stuff first to your pc, but probably isn`t the answer.
Start from scratch:
Install a free programm called Revo Uninstaller from www.freewarefiles.com. Open Revo and choose uninstall Kies including the drivers by clicking right, wipe everything samsung related. The programm will guide you through the process and will delete directory, folder and map. Reboot your pc and reinstall Kies again. Hope it will work now.

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

Probable not following instruction like
Question in wrong forum
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?

Yes if Kies is not installed no USB drivers .
Also clean USB port on the phone .
Getting a lot of i used that xxx site and rooted or flashed now broke help asked from here without knowing what the original site asked you to do or firmware used .It becomes hard to guess what's wrong .

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?.
And have you tried flashing siyah v3.2?
Flash the kernel and tell me how you get on.

i made a full swipe, well ill flash siyah with miui now, just a sec mate, and really, thanks for replying everyone.
fishingfon, i installed Siyah, rebooted the phone, the pc picked it up and opened the autoplay, then it declared it as unkown device and back to square one.
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.
Cheers corey

And make sure you "uncheck" the "usb debugging" in developer options,I dont know why but I have often not been able to connect my phone to the pc if the above is kept checked.

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.

If you remove the backplate off the phone, and remove the battery, rhe should be a label with the model on it

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.

Hi everyone.
Finally got my S3 today (I bought one on eBay and got scammed), waiting on paypal to get my money back.
Anyway, I'm trying to use the Galaxy S3 toolkit to root it. My phone build number is IMM76D.I9300BUBLG3.
I have installed the drivers and select Android 4.0.4 (Build IMM76D XXBLG9) as my phone. I then try then to do the all in one root option (3), when in Odin I don't change anything apart from setting the PDA to the file it told me to and then press start.
Nothing happens apart from this showing up in the message box "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
Anyone got any suggestions?
Many thanks.
Are you in download mode? Have you installed Samsung drivers?

Hi!
I suggest you use these steps here: http://mobilecon.info/install-clockworkmod-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Also, when you were on odin, did you put your phone on Download Mode?
I hope this helps Cheers!
have you installed kies?
have you installed sdk toolkit?
have you closed the kies processes (are 3)? have you closed your antivirus?
have open odin before plugin the phone?
have you get in download mode: (vol. down)+(home)+(power) then acept the download mode with volume up.?
try using cf-root.
I have a similar problem Odin 3 doesn't recognize my phone when connected in download mode it used to do it but not anymore, I have Kies installed and always make sure it's not running.
However Odin 1.x does recognize it and that's what I've been using to flash and root since Odin 3 stopped working.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, I just tried these. Window detects my phone when I plug it in to Odin and select the PDA (I have one of the ID:Com light up). Once I turn it off though the ID:COM light goes away - then I go on into download mode my computer doesn't detect a USB device (no sounds or anything). Here I guess is my problem. Also for some reason when my phone turns on and I plug it in for the first time the PC makes a sound detecting a USB device, but then disconnects it - I replug it and it detects fine.

Correct, that is what I've been doing. Tried the method you suggest and the phone still isn't being detected when in download/Odin mode.
I think something is up with the phone anyway, at least the battery. I got it with about 5% battery so I had it on charge all night, the USB cable connected to my iPad AC socket charger (don't see why this should matter) and it only charged about to about 80% over night.

Hmmm, something isn't right there, suggest a new battery, but always flash with at least 50% battery, preferably full charge.have you tried different usb port?
Something is wrong for sure, I emailed the seller about it to see what he says. Not sure how much batteries, will have a look.
Tried multiple USB ports as I've tried on my desktop and laptop. Just trying an older version of the samsung drivers to see if it can be recognised in download mode. ((Didn't work)) .... Weird.
Are you running Odin as administrator, that's worth trying as well if you aren't already
Tried it, going to now try a 3rd computer!
Edit: Didn't work either. On the urge of giving up, not sure what else I can do.

Problem started after re-installing Windows 7 I believe.
The phone charges fine over usb.
Here's what I have tried so far:
I have changed mtp to ptp.
I have tried using different usb cables and ports
I have re-installed windows 3 times
I have installed Samsung drivers and kies, and tried fixing the error thru kies.
I have tried different kernels (Siyah and stock cm10 kernel)
I have tried on a different pc.
I have tried the stock sgs3 rom, it has Siyah kernel.
I have tried turning USB debugging on and off.
Galaxy S3 toolkit doesn't recognize my phone.

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.
E: Okay, this windows is saying that the device is in error mode or something like that...
Question: How do I get my phone to stock without usb so I can take it to the warranty?
Hello,
Have you try if odin see the phone when it connected to your computer ?

It didn't, I just ran mobile odin and recovered my phone to stock so I can take it to warranty and such.
Thanks for everyone for the help.

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?

Hello everyone, I could not find a good title for my issue but I will try to explain as well as I can. I own a GT-I9300 (International), but since last official Samsung's firmware update(Jelly Bean 4.3) I am not able to get my phone recognized by my computer. Phone is connected and it charges, but neither Windows or Ubuntu recognizes it as a portable device. I am concerned about UMS is not available on device, but my phone it does not even get detected! I also own a Galaxy SII (4.1.2) and it does get detected by my PC. I think that flashing a custom ROM could solve the problem, since it appeared when I updated official firmware, but the thing is that I cannot root my phone! Tried ODIN but since my phone does not get detected, ODIN does not do its job. I also tried rooting with framaroot and towelroot, but no success: first one says "Failed , try another exploit" but there is only one. And the last one says my phone is not currently supported, even if I change modstrings.
So here is my question: how do I root my phone? I don't know what else I could try. I have already reinstalled Kies and Samsung USB drivers but still not working. Also hard-resetted but no luck.
Hope you guys can help me out because this is really getting on my nerves
Thanks in advance!

Have you Degugging Android activated in Deceloppers options ?

I have already tried with every port on my PC. I'm using the USB cable that actually came with the device and it is working when I plug in another phones.
And yes, I have activated USB debugging

The thing is that my phone is the only one that do not get detected every single time I connect it. I have already connected one GT-I9100 and GT-S6790L and both get detected. I already tried on 3 different Virtual Machines with Windows XP, Ubuntu, Windows 8.1 but no luck.
As I said in the first post, I think it's a firmware problem since it appeared when I did the official update, which was this one:
Model GT-I9300
Model name GALAXY S III
Country Argentina
Version Android 4.3
Build date Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:33:08 +0000
PDA I9300UBUGNK1
CSC I9300UVOUGNK1
MODEM I9300UBUGNK1

I can see your frustration Now a few things technically it is a misconception that you need root to flash a custom rom you can actually flash a custom recovery with Odin full wipe and then flash a custom rom from custom recovery (only thing is you will lose all your data because you need root to back up your data)
Now I know the above statement is not very helpful because as you said Odin doesn't detect it (but I thought I would mention it anyway )
The reason framaroot and towelroot, didn't work is because at the moment the only way to root S3 is with Odin.:crying:
You may have tried this but I will mention it anyway first uninstal Kies and all Samsung drivers from your computer ( kies can interfere with Odin) Then try installing these drivers here >> http://developer.samsung.com/techni...Lhp1GqlWRy92Q60CX6PP1mF!80806326?v=T000000117 << If you have tried this then sorry.
Also when you connect the phone go to Device manager in Windows and try to look for your device ( it may say unkown device) it should have a warning triangle right click on it select update driver software and then select browse from my computer and point to the drivers that you have downloaded see if that works.
Another thing to note is if you are using Windows 8 you need to disable Driver signature in start up options ( Google it) for Windows to recognize the drivers.

I already tried uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers. Also I tried looking for device on Device Manager but it does not appear when I plugin my S3, but it does appear when I connect other devices like S2 or Galaxy Fame Lite. They appear as portable devices.
I'm using Windows 7 on my PC and have already tried with different OS over Virtual Machines and still doesn't work.
And thanks for that note, didn't know there was possible to flash a Custom Recovery without root, but I can't since ODIN doesn't detect device :crying:
Then it looks like you are running out of options I would use another computer not Virtual Machines
Okay I'll give it a try but as I said before, looks like an firmware issue, not computer's. Why would my computer detects two another Samsung devices but not mine (which used to work until last update)
Me, too!
I'm having a similar problem. Last week my GS3 stopped working, and I bought another one from Ebay with a cracked screen and swapped out motherboards. The phone seems to work as well as a stock Verizon phone on Jellybean would, but I can't get my Linux, Win 8, or Win XP computers to even recognize that it's attached. Different cables, each and every one of the USB ports, not even a blip. Device Manager in Windows doesn't even see it, and yes I got the developer options unlocked and have enabled USB debugging.
I've got the Samsung drivers installed, and tried to install the CWM device drivers from the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V9, but there was an error and that didn't work, either.
USB connection issues are usually due to Windows conflicts, driver problems or the lead itself. If all these have been excluded then you have either a firmware issue in the bootloader, which is very uncommon, or a hardware problem. The usb port is easily worn/damaged/dirty also the motherboard might be the cause.
There is no silver bullet to cure, test each possible thoroughly.

I'm 100 percent sure that it is not due a Windows issue, I have already test every option. I have not considered the usb port to be damaged or worn, which could be possible but phone charges every time I connect it to computer. It just does not get detected as a device. But in order to assume it is a motherboard issue I will have to put away my feeling that the problem is caused by last OTA official update, since this problem started there.
If it is a firmware update issue, is it any option to flash another ROM?

As I said on previous posts, I have already installed and reinstalled Samsung USB drivers and made a factory reset -one from config. option and another one from Android stock recovery 3e (since I cannot install any advanced recovery -or even root it- to flash a custom rom). Doing those factory reset did not downgrade my last firmware update (when all my problems started).
I also said on previous posts that I tried towelroot and framaroot with no success. As tallman43 says, seems like international version of S3 does not support those kind of one-click to root apps.
-----------------------------------------------------
So far the only options available (if my theory about latest firmware update is the problematic one) are:
● downgrade firmware: [Q] How? Odin is not working since my phone does not get detected;
● root my phone in order to install an advanced recovery and flash a new ROM: [Q] Any way of rooting phone without computer (apart from towelroot or framaroot because I have tried and do not work for me)? I read one XDA post from 2 years ago to root S3 via console apk but latest comments assumes that method stopped working.
● install an advanced recovery without odin or root: [Q] How?
● fix USB firmware issue: [Q] I have completely no idea how to do it. (Already played with *#7284# and *#0808# but did not get my phone detected)
Please I need help, this is really irritating me and I am running out of ideas

I guess I have found out what the problem was. It was not firmware (as I thought). It was the micro USB port (as boomboomer said) which seems to not be firmly attached to the PCB. AC charging just seems to work okay, but not USB connections. I managed to figure it out by forcing the USB in a specific position to get it detected for 5 seconds, but then it disappeared.
Yeah, it was not as complex as I thought! I will try to replace that micro USB port as soon as possible, thanks everyone for your help!
Something has happened to my phone (about a week ago), and now it cannot be detected on the computer (in touchwiz).
I have tried it on many different computers, but nothing.
When I reboot to recovery or download mode, it can be detected, but of course it is still an issue in touchwiz.
This happens on Eudemony Rom Alpha 4.4.4, and on the stock ROM 5.0.2 (dirty update).
Has anyone got ideas?
Thanks

Dial *#0808# from your phone Make sure Phone USB is set to AP and USB SETTING is set to MTP OR MTP+ADB
Have you tried flashing Stock 4.4.4 rom from sammobile then, clear dalvik clear cache and factory reset. After this delete samsung driver and kies from your Pc AND reinstall then connect your phone.

It maybe because of the drivers have you installed samsung drivers for mobile devices or samsung kies(if you install kies you need to disable it before using odin)
