As the title says.... I am currently running ZenDroid 2.0.1. Before flashing this as always I start off fresh by Odining back to stock then proceed with whatever rom is to my pleasing that week... I have tried using different cables. I have also tried a PC and a MAC running Parallels(VM). I also tried Hiemdall on both. All still no luck. I have googled and all I find is the suggested above. I also tried getting into download mode in all ways I know possible to see if Odin might possibly recognize it. (Holding volume buttons while plugging into PC, Up+Power button, AIO reboot into DL mode, selecting Download from power menu and even using a JIG.
If anyone else has any other suggestions or if I missed something, please LMK??
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help

I think what you need is:
Latest odin v1.85
Latest Samsung drivers
And another usb cable to try.
the method you use to get in download mode should not make a difference - if you're in download mode - you're in download mode.
Does your computer recognize your phone when the phone is booted up? Can you connect and transfer files, etc.? If so - your USB cable and connectors are good, and your problem is likely related to not having the drivers installed.
if you're trying this on a new computer - one you haven't ODIN'd your phone from before, make sure you have the samsung drivers installed.
If you can't even transfer files, etc. - try a new USB cable - and NOT one that came with a charger (some of those are not actually USB cables - they can only charge your phone). You can get usb-to-microusb cables for like a buck online - places like monoprice or many others.
If you REALLY did try new USB cables, make sure the USB ports are clean - both on the phone and on the computer you're trying to hook to.
Thanks for your responses.
I found the solution to my problem. I decided to start from scratch. I deleted the drivers, AIO and Heimdall. Then I plugged in the phone just to see if Windows 7 sees it as an unknown device still. It was recognized but it was asking for drivers this time. So I proceeded to install JUST the driver and magically everything was working NORMAL again!!
Im not sure what may have caused this to happen. I flash my phone every other week so I found it kind of odd when this did occur.
Oh well.. ITS FIXED!! AND I CAN FLASH AGAIN!!

odin doesnt detect my phone
I dont know what to do! Odin doesn't detect my phone. i have tried different usb cable , different computer. no matter what i did odin doesnt recognize my phone in download mode. what should i do? Please somebody help. What driver should i install?
This is driving me to drink, currently running the powerwashed GB rom (ec09 radio, eh09 rom). no computer in my house (I have 4 ) will recognize my phone, usually nothing happens but sometimes i get a "usb device not recognized" error. Tried 3 different cables. Never had problems before. Can anyone help?
Did u try changing from kies to mass storage in usb settings?
yes it has no effect. The Samsung Drivers are installed on all my computers btw also. Restarting the phone while plugged in doesn't help, toggling USB debugging doesn't help.

have you tried cleaning the usb port on your phone? Compressed air, contact cleaner, or denatured alcohol with a q-tip etc... sounds like a connection issue.
Yea tried that, no dice. Sometimes i can get the "usb connected" to come up on the phone but when you select to copy files from your computer the phone acts like its connected but the computer does nothing. Heck i even tried another sd card
Right before I had this rom on the phone I had flashed back to stock ED05 and it worked fine.
The only thing I can do is connect thru bluetooth, but I need a download connection to odin anything. Is there anyway to delete this Samsung Kies off my phone?
For me info if I keep my phone plugged in and restart the phone windows picks it up but gives a warning that the USB device is not recognized. If you try and re install the Samsung USB driver it says its already installed.
Finally got it, it was definitely something in the GB software. Was finally able to odin eb01 then to ed05 on both of them plugged in with no problems. Now on CM7.
Hey guys today i got the samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 and the phone works fine but theres something weird happening and is that everytime i plug the phone to the computer it charges but it doesnt let me use the phone like a usb drive i cant acces my phone and in the notification bar it doesnt show the option to mount to usb, and if i put the phone in download mode odin does not recognize the device and everytime i plug the phone its says one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.
Do you know what could it be? is this something than can be fix?
Before you can connect the phone via odin, you need to have the drivers installed. So first thing you need to do is have your computer detect the phone.
-See if the cable is working..if you have another cable, try your luck with that.
-clean the phone's USB port.
-try putting your phone into USB debuhging mode from the settings menu.
-Im assuming your still on stock. Dial *#7284# and on the USB option select PDA. This worked for me while I had trouble on stock.

my phone will not be recognized by the computer no matter what i do. It recognizes my friends i777 just fine in odin and as a storage device so it isnt my drivers. With mine it only makes the connection sound and says device drivers failed to install. I am running shostock 3, philz kernel and windows 7. I have tried everything and i am out of ideas, please help. thanks
Install Kies fresh, install android sdk and update it, reboot, try different usb ports.
Also u have to disable usb debugging and let it install those drivers, enable it and let it install those drivers and boot into download mode and do a regular reboot and let it install those. Always worked for me after following those steps.
If he's friends phones works. Then I think it's the phone usb. My own phone has the same issues but my usb on phone is messed up. Says charging while its not chargin and that happens I get the whole Device not recognize and fail to install. Try cleaning your usb with 99% Isopropyl of the instructions above this post don't work out.

I will try this. I appreciate the help
I tried the suggestions.....
I downloaded the samsung drivers correctly because my pc recognizes any other samsung but no matter what i've tried it says usb device not recognized for my galaxy. Im stuck in a boot loop and the only thing i can access is download mode when i plug it in the computer. I can't access anything with the battery in, it just flashes the galaxy logo over and over. Thank you for you time in advance
I don't have any USB device connected other than the mouse on PC. i have even tried on my laptop with no mouse.
I have downloaded pit file and uvjfd.tar two times from the forums.
I have tried flashing multiple times from both my PC & laptop using Odin 3.0 v1.0, v1.85, v3.07(latest), EZOdin v1.70 and installed Samsung USB drivers multiple times, even downloaded latest driver version from official Samsung Vibrant page.
I have tried flashing from all possible USB ports on my PC & laptop wherever the phone was being recognized. But now with the latest official Samsung Vibrant drivers, my phone is not being detected by any USB port on my PC.
But whenever I have flashed, Odin is stuck at Cache or Modem or recently(with latest samsung drivers), DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I have even tried flashing through Heimdall 1.3.1 but the zadig.exe shows the device only as 'Gadget Serial' no matter how many times I try, and installs the driver with device as Gadget Serial under libusb in Device Manager and I also tried by updating driver as Samsung Composite USB as mentioned in readme. Either Way Heimdall frontend will not flash and says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".
Edit: I tried with another USB cable, of LG GS500v, and Oh Lord Jesus, Odin flashed past it. Great, time to buy a new Samsung USB cable, now!

Dont worry....this time go to download mode and flash eugenes that does not brick aka Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo with the same pit file and ur good to go brother
Similar Problem but different results.
Hi!
Whomever can help me, please help me. Right now, I am on stock Froyo 2.2 after the factory reset so this is how I got it but it is rooted only. I am trying to overwrite CWM because I cannot get into its recovery no matter how many times I flash it. Odin just will not recognize my phone when I am in download mode. When my phone is on, it will allow the mass storage and that works but when in download mode, my PC says unrecognized devide. I have a feeling that is the problem and I have updated the drivers several times, especially from Samsung but to no avail. Does someone have a solution to this problem? I want to go to Avatar ROM with my phone which is Jelly Bean and have seen its possible but I feel CWM is holding me back.
Thank you in advance!

Can you explain the steps your taking when you try to get into odin
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
The steps I take is put the phone into download mode by pulling the battery and then holding both the volume up and down then reinsert the battery. It shows the download screen. I then start odin and I have tried version 1.7 and the latest version of 3.0.7. Then I plug my phone into the USB port and windows pops up saying unrecognized device. I have reinstalled drivers several times. Now to describe my desktop is that it is a pentium III 550 Mhz...and old computer and running Windows XP Professional. I am able to do the mass storage when the phone is on normally so it recognizes it that way though. I have tried different USB ports on it as well so just unsure. I have rooted the phone and have superuser app access. ROM manager was supposed to have flashed the recovery mode but it never goes into the CWR mode either and its version is 2.5.1.2 which I have seen work on these phones in videos on YouTube so guess I am trying a different route so I can play with the mods to find a ROM I like. I was going to try the Avatar ROM for the vibrant but just cannot seem to get to the point where I can get the ROM flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep the battery in and lull up Odin. Cut off the phone and hold both volumes while inserting USB hopefully the computer will then recognize it

Its still not recognizing it. I am almost consigned to wait until either my laptop is fixed or get a new laptop to replace it because this desktop is 13 years old and has the old USB 1.1 but wouldn't think that makes a difference. Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers but I have not installed Kies yet but heard some bad things about that.

USB cable does make difference. And USB ports even on the same computer. Check also your phone's drivers. Finally, try out Heimdall one-click package for t959, it is more powerful and sensitive than Odin.
Good luck

Do you have the link to the Heimdall one-click package or do I just google it?

And since only thing remaining in your case is USB cable, I would say try with a different micro USB cable, even a different vendor's will do, as it did the trick for me( see the edit in OP)
I will try that. Thank you! I need to get a car charger anyway so I can get a usb adapter for the car and a usb cable and try it that way.

For now, you can try any micro usb cable that fits, they all have same specifications.
Okay. Thanks!

Stuck on cache
I'm also stuck on cache & I have tried more than one USB cable. Is there something else that I might be doing wrong? I'm completely uninclined technologically. The fact that I got my phone into download mode after 'bricking' is a feat in itself. Now what do I do when I'm stuck??

Great that you could get it to the download mode.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed for your Operating System. Preferably, download the latest drivers. You can verify when your device is recognized when connected in download mode.
2. Make sure you follow this thread for Odin flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
3. If unable to flash using ODIN successfully, try with different USB ports, on same computer or a different one, say, a laptop.
4. If still unable to do so, try with different USB cables (any micro-usb should do).
In this way, you should by trying multiple alternatives at each step you should be able to eliminate the options and figure out what is really creating the problem in your flashing. Trust me my friend, this has not go anything to do with technology. just follow the steps, try alternatives and you would resolve this. Do post back on thread, if you have any queries.
