I've run a search through this forum and cant seem to find the answers I'm looking for. I am not new to flashing or rooting (except for this device) so this is very perplexing. I've tried to use odin to flash a custom rom, but it doesn't connect in download mode, however when the player is rebooted and on my home screen it connects to odin and says ready blah blah blah... Is this normal? My phones need to be in download mode to connect and flash, so what is going on here? USB debugging is active, I even allowed non marketplace apps in hopes that might do it, no go. Also can't seem to get Super One Click to recognize the device either.

Have you installed the samsung drivers here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Also if you have kies running, disable all the process with the name kies on it (it can cause problems with odin).

Have you tried another usb port? Sometimes odin don't work on a specific port and can work on the other.
Still nothing, man this device blows lol
It cant be good to flash outside of download mode correct? I'd rather not brick my mp3 player, it gets me through my day lol

There's always heimdall (which is better than odin but kind of harder the first time you install it). But what is the version of your odin (just knowing).

Oh well, it should work. I don't know why it don't work though as I'm not on windows I can't really tell.
1) Restart computer and try again
2) Use a different USB port
3) Go into your Task Manager (alt,ctrl,delete) and disable anything in the process tab that mentions kies in it's title
4) Try another usb cord

Hi,
I'm having problems with Odin 1.85 crashing all the time when i press start, i disabled Kies, still crashes, i'm running windows 7 Home premium on a brand new laptop, phones only a month old. i cant find similar problems around the threads here, is this just happening to me, or does anyone else have this issue? i'm pulling my hair out
Error message, or just instant crash?
Presume you've disabled the Kies system tray app?
What are you trying to flash?
i get a windows error msg saying "Odin has stopped working and needs to shutdown" the second i hit the start button, yes ive disabled kies also, XWKI8
Download a new version .
jje
Can only suggest uninstalling Odin and trying another version.. I'm also on 1.85, but used 1.3 for nearly a year without problems.
i tried that too, just downloaded Odin 1.3 and i still get the same error msg
One Odin or PC are the problem .
Two its the file and or the way you are using Odin that is the problem .
As it happens when you press start and you have replaced Odin my initial guess is its the file or how you put it in Odin .
method is open Odin put file to correct location
boot phone to download mode
connect SAMSUNG usb cable only .
jje
I'm using original samsung usb cable, i put the insecure kernel TAR file into PDA slot in odin, im doing everything by the book, ive watched countless versions on YT, and it still crashes, must try it on another laptop,Q. will i have to download Kies to the other laptop? or can i download drivers from another source?
never had a similar issue and ive been flashing for a long time now
try with odin 1.3, are you running it as admin?
also make sure you dont have kies running in the background
must just be me, or else ive got a dodgy insecure kernel or something, ive tried 1.3 too, must be some conflict somewhere, kies isnt running either

Try this stop all running tasks via task manger which you do not need running while your flash your fone. If you dont know which files or apps to stop well disable any firewalls, antivirus, any other device using USB ports. As a rule!
Now run odin as administrator and follow outline help on how to flash your file/files..
PS: ARE You sure its odin and not your PC?

Have you checked your antivirus/firewall settings to see if that is blocking it?
Also You do have Odin folder on the C drive, not in program files? Open the Odin folder and you should see the app. Right click on odin and go to program/properties/compatibility. Is any of the boxes got a tick mark on them? (should only be in privilege Level if any)
yeah i tried what you said, still no joy, must be my PC, i just bought it last week though.I dont get it! could it be a problem with my tar file?

i used an lg cable too, same result. installed kies on my sisters laptop for the drivers, started odin, and got the same result, i think its a problem with the phone or else my insecure kernel tar file, its not a windows 7 or XP issue, cause ive tried it on both with the exact same outcome, could it be carrier blocked or locked or a dodgy app in my phone causing this? its seriously taking up too much of my time, but im no quitter.im gonna root this phone one way or the other

Hi guys,
need a hand here, yesterday I plugged my S2 to my PC but it wouldn't show up. I've done this many times before. I was getting the message saying 'usb device not recognized'. I then flashed the new ICS resurrection rom by moving it to my SD Card through an adapter. I thought maybe the usb problem would go away.
As my luck would have it the flash went badly it seems because i'm now getting the kernel panic message on my device. I can't get it to recovery mode but I can get it to download mode BUT Pc doesn't recognize the device still...
Could this maybe be a damaged port on my device?
Is it maybe a driver problem?
Any help would be much appreciated....
Anyone have any advice?

I plugged in a galaxy TAB and used KIES through my web browser to transfer items to the TAB. Does this interfere with the SGSII? I haven't used KIES with the SII
Instructions are to install Kies and connect the phone with the Samsung cable and drivers are found .It does not mention install another device and it will work so its a guess as to driver conflict due to Kies looking for the TAB .
Could be port on PC not a mainboard port USB on phone dirty or custom rom buggered phone .
I would flash stock GB rom via Odin .

Sorry, missed that you can't get to anything BUT download mode.
Try flashing an older Gingerbread firmware wipe package then.
EDIT: specifically using mobile Odin, since your computer isn't detecting your phone via USB... not even sure if that works, but what do you have to lose at this point?

Download the apk to your computer, and email it to yourself? Or via wifi file copy?

I am trying to root my SGS3 international via Odin. The problem is that when I connect it to the computer in download mode, nothing happens. The device is not detected and the drivers are not being intalled. Worst of all ID : Com does not turn blue/yellow and the device is not added to Kies.
I have installed Kies, separate driver packs, I have tried different cables, different usb ports (on and off the mainboard of the PC), I have googled the problem for hours and still cannot figure it out.
Any advice?

You might have the same issue as I had.. I flashed a new firmware via Mobile Odin Pro.
Drivers shoudnt be installed when phone is in download mode but when its connected to the computer.. Before or after KIES is installed.
Did it work? Does anything happen at all?

Thank you for your reply.
I thought of that myself. But in order for me to use Mobile Odin Pro, I nedd to get root and in order to get root, I need to use Odin to flash the root files.
Nothing happens at all when the phone is connected to the computer in download mode. If the phone is booted in android, the drivers begin to install and Odin sees the phone (needless to say, I cannot flash while in Android mode). When I reboot in download mode, nothing happens.
have you made sure kies isn't running in the background? You need to kill all kies processes before using Odin or it may interrupt your flash. Aside from that you could uninstall kies and drivers and just try inhaling the drivers on their own? Which Windows version are you using? Xp can be problematic
Any idea whatsoever would be welcome

it does if u install software and later u have to connect ur device via download mode. it detects ur phone in download mode
August 2012 post you searched and replied to very very strange .
My friend handed me his samsung galaxy SII believing that I could fix his problem. He rooted it, and started going ROM crazy. Needless to say he broke it. I thought I could fix it, maybe it was a simple bootloop issue or what have you, but the phone won't even get recognized on my computer. I can set it into ODIN mode, but it won't get recognized by my computer, even though I downloaded the samsung usb drivers. It won't show up in ODIN, and It won't enter recovery mode either for some odd reason, so there's no chance of me loading something through his SD card. Whenever I turn it on normally it's stuck at a battery screen with a circle as if it were loading the battery, but it never finishes.
I'm pretty sure it's bricked, but I want to be sure before I tell him to buy a new phone.
The only information I can get out of it is that it's a SHW-M250K
thank you in advance.
mmmmm ask your friend if he converted it to an I9100.

But you can enter DL mode, so that's your window.
You need to get your pc to see the device, we git plenty of tricks for that. Haven't you bumped into any of them?
Try other odin versions/usb cable/usb ports/clean kies uninstall and re install, try another pc and do it all over again.
You can also disable the antivirus if you like.

2)Kill all Kies process running in the background.
3)Try connecting phone to Pc with the main USB port.

Nothing seems to be working to get ODIN to detect it :/
I tried to flash ROM with CWM it just says "(bad)"
If you've tried everything (and I mean everything. Not 2 or 3 things) including trying with different PC's, without a screenshot/pic of the Odin output we'd have absolutely no idea why it's failing. However, if you'd care to give us a pic/screenshot of the Odin output when you try & flash, maybe we can figure out why.

I would have thought my post was pretty clear. You're obviously out of your depth & shouldn't be messing with your phone. What we need is a pic/screenshot of the Odin screen from your PC when it's failing like this
I just got too excited when everyone was rooting their phones , shouldn't have done it at all :/
My problem is no (yellow bar) is coming out from odin when i plug in download mode at first it could but after i formatted my phone from CWM it couldnt detect anymore , and I tried with two other laptops and even a different cable
Im so sorry to take up your time :/
(ODIN just looks like normal when i plug everything in :S)
OK. I thought Odin could detect OK but the flash was failing at that stage. So you still can't get the phone & PC to recognise each other given everything you've tried.
Honestly, I can't think of anything else you can do. I'd suggest you keep trying tho. Not a lot else you can do beyond that (Unless there's something really simple/obvious we're all missing here).
Edit -Right. List everything, and I mean everything you've tried to try and get the phone & PC to recognise each other/get Odin to work. Every single little step. Details. The more details you provide, the better the chance you get your phone fixed. The less details you provide, the less likely that is to happen.

- windows update
You missed:-
Different USB ports (and different USB ports on different PC's - you must use a 'mainboard' port, if you don't know what it is, Google it).
Try Odin V1.3
Have you used the USB cable that came with the phone ? Uninstall Kies. Reboot. Redownload Kies from Samsung website. Reinstall. Reboot. Run Odin as administrator in Windows (R-click the Odin .exe & choose 'run as administrator').
That's all I got given it's almost 3.30am here.

There, your friend's SIII wasn't recognised. You wanna pay a friend a visit to use his/her pc with no kies pre-installed. You go and get it's latest version and repeat all steps.

oh and I end task for KiesPDLR.exe (said by someone in a post here in Xda)
Are you hitting 'end process tree' when you close Kies in Windoze Task Manager ? It's important anything associated w/Kies is closed, not just the main application.
