noob here.
Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510 Wifi
I have a similar problem to the above.
When I connect using the usb lead to the pc, nothing happens. I have reinstalled the drivers (both with and without Kies 2) and upon connecting the usb it acknowledges a connection and goes through some steps and proclaims the device is installed and ready to use. Except it's not. It doesn't show up in My Computer or when I remove and re-connect the usb, there is nothing - the same as before I resinstalled the drivers. Kies cannot find it either.
My issue is further matched by the above issue as I also followed the same guide as above. I previously tried to root the device several times and each time the recovery screen was doing the rolling / flicker thing. So I returned to stock. But inevitably I would get infuriated by all the things I couldn't do.
So when I found the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984 that further linked to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41 I was thrilled because I could finally read the Recovery screen.
So I proceeded to root the device as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971. This was working fine with one exception. Which was that after the screen went into sleep mode and I pressed the power button to wake it up, the tablet was in a variant of the rolling / flicker screen. This happened every time. I repeated the rooting process making sure to wipe data / cache / dalvik.But it remained.
So I became adventurous and decided to flash an experimental CM9 sourced from droidbasement.
And that is where I am now. Unable to enter sleep mode and unable to connect to the pc to return to stock or try different roms.
Any suggestions or help welcome.
perhaps I should have opened a new thread but wasn't sure. please advise if so.
I used a different usb port and the pc could find it.
Now back on stock.

Hi everyone, first, this is my first post, new to the forums, at least as a registered user. I have a problem with my phone. I know most of you are wondering why I have not just read the other posts on the forums, but I have. I have attempted every solution to the problem posted previously.
Background: Phone: Samsung charge.
I was being impatient and did not want to wait for the gingerbread update form Verizon. I flashed the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone using odin. Everything went great. I was able to use my phone with no problems except shortened battery life, but nothing major. About a month ago the battery life was impossible to maintain and there were some software bugs, like clicks during calls, startup taking forever, around 2 minutes on average!, and random restarts that never happened before. I decided to look up some fixes and found that verizon and samsung had released GB 2.3.6 for the charge. I got excited and decided I wanted to get that, but I could not via OTA. I read some forum posts and they mentioned attempting a factory reset on the phone then trying OTA update. I went ahead with factory reset and everything went fine. My startup time is around 25 seconds now and no random clicks or gliches, but still not on 2.3.6, which was the whole point. I then decided to just flash the stock 2.3.6 rom to the phone.
Problem: When I plug my phone in to multiple computers it will charge but not connect to the computer. This means on my Mac it does not show as an external drive, which it has in the past. On my windows 7 machine it says that drivers were installed but could not be used (I can get the exact quote if needed.) I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device". I have tried to enter download mode when hooked up to windows computers and no connection is found.
Possible solutions attempted and their outcomes:
1. As stated, I attempted the method shown in a thread on droid forums for installing the samsung drivers. I have attempted multiple times to install the drivers on my windows machine and the device remains "unknown".
2. I have attempted multiple cables on multiple computers, both mac and windows 7. No change.
3. I have installed adb and attempted to locate devices using adb devices command on mac. No devices found.
4. I have attempted all methods with both usb debugging checked and unchecked.
5. I have tried every possible usb port I have.
Ideas/questions I have had that I have no idea are possible or how to fix!
Would a factory reset take away the ability to connect to a computer from my phone. So, is there a piece of software in the build I have that controls the connection between the computer and the phone, an identifier of sorts, which is now missing, now that I have reset the leaked ROM.
Is there a way to flash a new ROM without connecting to a computer, via the sd card, and what is that? I have read some things in other posts but am too much of a n00b to understand most of them when using sdcards.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I have been at this for at least 6 hours, sifting through forums, searching google, attempting fixes that others have stated worked for them, only to fail every time. Thank you all.
have you try on a different pc?
maybe on your PC there is some problem with the drivers.
Moreover to connect via
adb u must enable Debug mode on your device in the application menu.
To flash kernel or other directly from your sd you can use the clockwordmode, but to install it you must before
install it and i fear you must use your cable connection

I have tried multiple PCs and a mac, even windows on bootcamp. I have installed drivers on every one, even uninstalled and reinstalled on one. One PC, my laptop was a fresh windows install (it was a linux box but I needed windows to use Odin). I was in debug mode and not in debug mode when attempting adb. Thanks for the suggestions though. As I said, I have tried numerous things and am completely stuck! so frustrating!
"I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device"
Exactly there... you can try to force device to install a different driver.
Double click the unknown device then driver then update driver then find software in your computer then choose manually from a list of device drivers in your computer then show all devices you should see "android adb interface" or something related to google or android.
Try it... i hope this can help you.
Hello all, I have a GS3 international GT-I9300
I'll try to go through the story as fast as I can and give as much detail so you guys can understand how I got here.
Bought the phone unlocked, I was stock, I rooted and then I decided to install a new ROM. I went with Resurrection Remix, it was working great. I did this on a desktop back home. They released a new update to RR so I did a OTA update with "Update Me" apparently the thing flashed but it didn't, the phone still worked but NFC wasn't working as well as having lost root access and some other stuff wasn't working correctly, but I lived with it.
I moved to Florida (home is in NY) and I have a laptop with me, for some reason my laptop used to be able to transfer files to my S3, but it wasn't doing it any more after a while. So it would just charge it. I was in a hotel room last week trying to tether via USB but the PC wasnt having it, it could not locate the phone. This week I moved to a different hotel with internet and decided I would flash stock on my S3 to get rid of all these bugs and get root again, I tried flashing stock through recovery and it wasn't going, so I tried flashing RR again (this time downloaded from the site RR site) and it worked. Still no USB connection but I had root back. I looked around my PC and apparently the Samsung drives are not installing or something on my PC. I installed Kies, but nothing, I tried a stand alone driver install and nothing, so I just gave up and bought Mobile Odin pro from Gplay to try to flash again.
Mobile Odin for some reason (I blame it on myself) wasn't finding/flashing stock so again I decided to try and flash RR and see what would happen. It flashed RR and turned on fine. Then I just decided to look for an NFC fix on XDA. Once I found my NFC fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029713&postcount=8367) I decided to just copy the files to the system folder, NFC still not working, rebooted and NFC still no working, so I figured I would try to flash the fix through mobile odin seeing as how I can't get my PC to pick up on the USB. I tried flashing but MO just kept bouncing it back and re-booting into RR. Tried again and no flash. So I decided to again try and flash stock. I tried going into Recovery, the phone shut off like it always does, came back on but stayed in the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 logo and would not move. I shut it off again, tried turning it on again and still stuck on the galaxy logo. Now, if I leave the phone off and plug in the USB, it won't show the battery charging image, it will actually turn straight onto the galaxy logo again and stay there. I can get the phone into download mode, but like I said my pc won't recognize the drivers.
Now, here are my questions:
What happened?
Can this be fixed?
Am I an idiot?
If I can get the drivers installed on another PC as well as Odin (1.85), will the new PC "see" the S3 or are the drivers on the phone deleted as well? (if that sort of thing can happen, idk.)
I'm going to see if I can borrow a buddy's PC and download the drivers as well as odin to try and bring my S3 back to life, I just want to know, what happens if I can't get the other PC to pick it up ether because the drivers on the phone are deleted (if that's a thing) or what I can expect if it is connected.
What are the steps or guides to follow here? I just got it into Download mode and it says on the top of the screen:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
sorry , i am sometime getting headache reading long english text so i just briefly look over.
your PC doesn't recognize your S3 ? is that correct ? hmmm , is it possible that your PC (Microsoft Windows I assume?) system is damaged due to something like virus or some reasons ? i have encountered that kinda problem before and be OK after i reinstalled the system.
If it's a soft brick, then it can defiantly be fixed. You might, however, lose your data along the process.
Be glad it's not hard bricked
It happened to me many times, USB error "unknown device" connected. Only fix for it was reinstalling Windows so better if you can use different PC or laptop. Install Kies and other USB drivers. Restart computer, download and run Odin v 3.0x. Flash your phone.
If this doesn't work then maybe your phone have a problem with USB port?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try to fix tit today, I didn't get a chance to do it last night. If anything I'll update you guys with what's going on.
Like I was saying, I'll try using a different PC to fix it. Now, if I can't get Odin to recognize the phone, what would be the next step?
Hello,
I have a very big problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.
The problem started when my battery ran down very very fast. I can use my phone for no longer than maybe 6 hours, and that is in stand by. If I want to charge my phone till it's completely full it might take two days on the charger as well, even when my phone is off. I tried to reset my phone to factory defaults, but that didn't fix the problem. I even bought a new battery, hoping that would solve the problem, but even no luck with that. The phone also becomes hot in the bottom. Now I wanted to bring it back to the store for warrenty but there lies the next problem, my phone is rooted.
I know it is possible to unroot the phone, and it's nog too hard to do. But every time I connect my phone with USB to my computer, my computer doesn't recognize it. I get the next error message "USB device not recognized". I tried different cables, I tried on an other computer, but still I get the same error. I also tried the S3 of a friend on my computer and with his phone I do get a connection. So I know there is nothing wrong with the drivers on my computer or something like that. There must be something wrong with my phone.
Now the problems won't stop here because there is even a third problem. Like I said before I have rooted my phone, but I can't use SuperUser. When I start SuperUser it says "The SU Binary needs to be updated. Continue?". Then when I press continue I get the message "Installation failed !". I can't use CWM as well. I wanted to use Triangle Away before bringing it back for warrenty, but I can't use it because I can't use SuperUser.
If some one would have an idea to unroot my phone without using USB so I can bring it in for warrenty. Or find a way to get my USB port running again, I think that would fix my problems.
I spend a few hours trying to fix these problems, but now I've come to a point I don't know what to do anymore, I hope anyone of you is willing to help me. I'll be for ever gratefull.

Hi.
If i was you, i would try to install a official version, using Odin.
Also, my advice is not to use the original charger, Even chinese have better one´s...
Did you install Kies and drivers on your PC? Check that too.
Consider install leaked 4.2.2 version of Rom, since it uses Odin to do it.
I hope i gave at least some clues....

Thanks for your reply,
I forgot to mention that I have the official ROM installed, I only rooted it. But even if I would want to install a new ROM, my computer doesn't recognize my phone throug USB. So I can't install a ROM using Odin unless my USB port is running again.
I tried several chargers already, I don't think the problem lies in the charger because the battery drains very fast when it's of the charger.
I did install Kies and drivers, I even uninstalled them and reinstalled them again a couple of times. I even tried it on different computers. And the Galaxy S3 of a friend of mine does make a connection. So I don't think the problem lies there.

Hummm....
Did you try hard reset? Definitely without USB recognition, you can`t go to next stage....
In setup did you check optinos like USB debugging?
At this moment im out of options....maybe a poweruser can help you better:highfive:

What exactly do you mean with hard reset? If you mean powering on with home button and volume up button pushed, and then select "wipe data/factory reset". Then yes, I tried that.
In setup I did check USB debugging. The thing is, when I power on with home button and volume down button, I enter download mode. But even in download mode my computer does not recognize my phone. I'm not sure, but I think the computer should.
I'm really stuck here :crying:
Hi everyone, i hope to find a solution writing there, since i'm kinda desperate about my situation.
So, i got this telephone, a s2 I9100g, but only the day after i noticed the browser was in chinese. Looked up a bit better inside and i found it is a chinese version of the telephone (original one, but made for chinese market).
So i tryed to pull in an original rom, but it failed; i found a guide to how to fix this problem, and become able to flash the italian rom on it.
Basically, i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702479%22 I did all the steps using the CHN version of the bootloader and.. i know, i was so stupid there, but since it got stuck at NAND writing (i did not see the progress bar after 15 minutes), i simply unplugged the cable.
Well, after that the phone didn't enter reset/download mode, but it started showing the yellow phone---!---pc screen, with wrote above "software update fail", and something else in chinese.
There is what i tryed to do:
-Flash another rom (tryed 2) with different versions of odin, 1.3,1.6 and 3.07.
odin does recognize the telephone with the drivers installed, but if i start it, it gets stuck at setup connecting phase and failing after. Same with all versions.
-use OneClickUnbrick, i tryed to start it normally and from CMD.
with the drivers which odin and windows use to recognize the telephone (last ones available on samsung website), it says "usb drivers are not properly installed attempting to install drivers". So, it starts Zadig. I follow the steps there, and the installation completes succesfully. But at this point, when i plug in the telephone windows recognizes it but fails installing the device with drivers, and odin doesn't recognize it at all, while oneclick keeps showing the "usb drivers are not properly installed" window, time after time even if i keep reinstalling with success the drivers using Zadig.
-delete everything and install Kies.
none of the programs above does see the telephone now, neither windows.
Tryed to follow the steps i did before after having it installed, nothing changed.
Every of this tryes, i did the following "changes":
-removing and inserting the battery
-changing usb port
-changing cable
-changing computer
-trying to enter reset/download mode by holding vol up/down+mid button+power
Would be enough to make odin go over the setup connecting phase, or kies to recognize it, or OneClick to stop showing the window about drivers.
I read that seems i'm in a hard brick case, but since the phone is seen by odin and windows and the battery does recharge, i got still a bit of hope.
Thanks
Click the link in my signature, there's more troubleshooting steps to try. You've done a few but not all of them.
I would usually say that pulling out the cable leaves you with no hope, but you seem to have gotten a little lucky. Don't hold your breath though.

Hi,
About two weeks ago I updated my Samsung Galaxy S II to the latest nightly build of Cyanogenmod (through the updates part of the phone). Unfortunately I do not remember the build number of the nightly I updated to - but it must have been near 2014/04/07 (7th april 2014). It made quite a few things not work (It still worked as a phone), so I decided to downgrade to the latest stable build. (Again usint the updater built into the phone)
Now when I turn on my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S II screen comes up. Then it changes to the Cyanogenmod rotating circles boot animation, and stays on that boot animation.
I cannot access recovery mode.
I could not access download mode - but I got a jig and now I can. However when i connect my device in download mode to odin 3 v1.83 to flash it to stock the following error message appears: "USB Device Not Recognised. One of the USB devices attached to the computer has malfunctioned, and Windows dows not recognise it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I installed the samsung drivers from kies, then uninstalled kies but not the drivers. I disabled my antivirus.I do NOT have the android SDK installed.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can fix my phone?
Summary:
I rooted the device and installed cm 10.1 a while ago - my custom recovery was CWM
I got a notification that a nightly update was available
I updated to the nightly using the updater built into the phone. That was my only update since i installed cm 10.1. (Nightly was from about 7th April 2014 - not exacty sure)
It worked fine as a phone, but some functions didnt work.
I went back into the built-in updater and chose to DOWNgrade to the latest stable version.
When I turn on the phone now the Samsung Galaxy S II screens appears.Then the cm rotating boot animation appears.
The cm boot animation doesnt stop and the phone doesnt turn on
If I try to enter recovery or download mode using the buttons, it goes to the Galaxy S II screen then the cyanogen boot screen - same as if I wasnt pressing buttons
I bought a Jig which I can use to access download mode.
I have the drivers installed on my computer however I still get an error when trying to connect my phone in download mode to ODIN, which prevents me from flashing stock or recovery.
My other phone works fine when connecting to odin on the same computer
Any help in fixing this is appreciated. cheers
Your only option in this situation is Hopper 8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General. Try everything in that thread as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash.
One thing stands out in what you've said though...
The errors about USB malfunctions/etc may also mean the USB board/port on the phone is on the way out. If you spend a few days trying the stuff in Hopper's thread & still can't get a successful flash (BTW, this is the only way you're fixing it, there isn't anything not in that thread which can be suggested in these situations), I'd replace the USB board/port. KeithRoss39 has a guide in General (not stickied; search for 'replace USB charger board' or do an advanced search on his username) which will enable you to do this yourself quickly/easily/cheaply (<US$15). The boards don't normally die completely, and often only exhibit a few faults while otherwise working OK. What you've described (not being able to get a successful flash, connection errors/problems) may well be the board malfunctioning.

There's also a link to Keith's guide in my troubleshooting thread
Thanks for the advice. I'll try out the odin troubleshooting thread and replace my micro USB connector part if that doesn't work.
I'd be tempted to do things the other way around......if your port IS faulty, and it fails during an Odin flash, it is likely to kill your phone permanently. As @MistahBungle says, the part is cheap and easy to fit.....certainly cheaper than a new motherboard which will be your only alternative if the port fails during the flash
