As a safety precaution, it won't show up if you have the screen locked. When you plug it in to your PC, put in your pattern to unlock/passcode etc, and you'll find you will then have access to your SD/ext SD cards.

Its a windows usb / driver error .

Fails then it may be the firmware you are using .

If all else fails, try 'WiFi File Explorer Pro' from the Play Store. A mate of mine had a HD2 with a broken charger port, and managed to run his phone fine for ages. If I'm ever out and about and don't have a USB cable handy, I just fire up the app and transfer away!!

[Q] Yet another Odin connection problem. I'm getting sick of this :(

Hi guyz, i just bought sgs2 yesterday, previously i've been using SGS for the past 8 months
No matter what i do, i can't get Odin to detect my SGS2 in download mode.. !

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but the weird thing is, it detects the phone if its in 'switch on' mode
These are what i've done:
- installed kies
- installed driver from kies
- factory reset sgs2
Info:
* i even reformat my Windows 7 (i thought it gets conflict with my previous SGS driver) and started everything from fresh but still fail
* Kies detects my phone, i can browse contacts etc. but Odin still fail to detect in download mode
* my phone is a branded O2 Ireland. Sim free
* i've tried on other PC but still fail
Please help me, i lost hope.. i just want to Root my phone
Did you try a different usb cable? And did you close all kies programs?
Alt+Crtl+delete >> Taskmanager >> Processes and terminate everything with kies in the name.
Did you try with usb debugging off and on?

You can try heimdall
Does windows see the phone drives via USB mass storage mode ..If not its your USB drivers and thats what Odin requires .
Tried a different Odin Odin3 v1.3 always worked for me .

use Odin 3.0X version..
if it does not work then check the drivers..reinstall them..
try different usb ports or different cable..
I changed the version
and I got this :
It looks like you are not in download mode or your phone is not communicating with your computer properly.
As said before...have you installed your drivers? The easyest way is with kies. Which usb cable are you using? If not, try using the one samsung provided with your phone.

yes it's in download mode [ power + volume down + home button ]
and I just tried 2 usb ports and got this
1) Drivers installed?
2) Is Kies running as a background process?... kill it/them (or reboot/unintstall Kies)
3) Try another pc
4) Try another cable
One (or more) of the above will work.

Open Odin as "Run as Administrator".
And then try.
Always possible you have a faulty download .

Leave it alone. If you remove it, your gallery will be flooded with app crap. It's not a bug.

You can not access your android system files by just connecting phone with USB cable.
You can run a FTP or SSH server on your phone and then connect your phone with a FTP or SFTP client. You can transfer files with phone.
I run sshdroid on my phone for ssh server and connect with winscp from my PC.

i wanted to install a new room for my S5830i after i rooted it and tried to install a KERNEL CM7 and it did install without errors , but when i restarted it loaded the RECOVERY MODE and foozed none of the buttons does respond .
i,ll be greatful for any tips or any help
thanks
you say you flashed cm kernel, then i would assume that u flashed hells fusion kernel..cuz it has cwm as default recovery...
simply flash stock kernel through odin and everything will be okay..
or flash any other kernel through odin..
recovery doesn't work then u must flash via odin..
i hope u can get to download mode by pressing vol up+vol down+power

does odin recognises your device ??
reinstall drivers several times and reboot pc..
sometimes it takes a hell of an effort to connect phone to pc

This has been covered many times over the past few weeks here (days even). There are a set bunch of things you need to try, search for similar threads (try trawling through the last week's worth of posts rather than using search if search doesn't throw up what you need).
