AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777
Scenario:
1. The phone connect to PC, but just charges... anything else, no PC connection, no Odin connection... nothing.
2. Tried fix restoring Stock ROM, but it requires USB... to Odin
3. Was installed CWM Recovery and I tried install Clockworkmod Recovery (I thought was the same thing but wasn't)
4. Bricked the phone when I tried to install Avast Anti-theft (update.zip)
5. Now the phone don't turn on.. just can access Download Mode.
The worst problem is the missing connection with PC... (ALL DRIVERS UPDATED - ALL !!!)
I can't use Odin to help restore my phone because of it.
The problem is not the USB hardware connection... I sent to repair, but problem persists.
Used many PCs to try again and again.
What can I do?!?!
Go here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28164226 or here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18065445and try Heimdall. It uses it own drivers that it will install. Use on a different usb port that u can remember to use exclusively for Heimdall. Because u can't use Odin in that port. Odin uses the samsung drivers.
Heimdall is good and safe.
(Also, try using a different usb/micro usb cable.)

this sounds like USB port is dead on your phone.

Hi all,
I've got a Galaxy Tab P7510 and when I connect it to USB to my PC, it installs the drivers for the GT-P7510 - Success, Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device - Success, and then it starts to install Samsung Mobile USB Modem, gets to 100% then says Failed. And when I try to use Kies it endlessly says "Connecting" I've tried reinstalling Kies, debug mode on and off, reinstalling the drivers, rebooting my PC inbetween etc etc. I can't even get ODIN to detect it on COM while its in Download mode even though on screen on the Tab it says its ready. Trying to do anything in ODIN though results in no successes and no fails.
Can someone help me with this please
Thanks

Trying it on a laptop now.
Managed to get it to work fine on a laptop, The problem is that the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem driver install always fails on my PC. Why is this!?!?!
No Idea why it failed but drivers do fail from time to time installing in some cases.
Glad you got it working!
You can try the other USB ports.
And search for the USB drivers in this or the gt-i 9000 forum. I never ever use kies even it is similar to my name
Hello!
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on 2 different machines and have been trying to root since I got the phone yesterday with no luck.
I have tried using Windows 7 and Windows XP running in VirtualBox with Odin using the method outlined in the video by qbking77.
I have also tried the same method but this time using Heimdall from within Ubuntu.
I've tried the Heimdall method on both computers and have run into a few different issues, one of them being that Heimdall (from the GUI) doesn't like the both the .tar file and the .img file when I extract it from the .tar file (it gives error messages but I'm not in front of the computer right now).
Another issue I'm having with Heimdall is when trying to access the device itself. I put the device into download mode and try to download the PIT file and it gives an error about not being able to initialize. I know the latest version of Heimdall isn't confirmed to work with this phone so I have not tried any commands that push data to the phone, only commands that pull data from the phone. Heimdall does detect my device without any problem.
I have rooted several devices in the past including a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which also had trouble with Odin and Heimdall but I was able to root without them)
My question is: has anyone successfully rooted without Windows, and if so how?
As a side note: I have been searching the forums and Google trying to resolve these issues and cannot find answers, and other than VirtualBox I do not have access to any Windows machines.
I don't expect anyone to diagnose the specific issues I'm having without me providing exact error messages or anything but I'm looking for general information on rooting this device without Windows.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I didn't install the drivers in linux, but you can run odin in linux [using wine], and assuming you have the drivers installed, you should be good to go.
Wow, I can't believe I never thought to try wine!
Would I install the Windows drivers under wine or are there Linux specific drivers?
Thanks for the reply, I'll have to try this when I get home.

No prob man, here to help. I would try the windows drivers through wine.
Samsung USB drivers will not work in Wine, thus Odin has no chance of working there. Indeed Heimdall does not yet support SGS3.
Team Epic's instructions and CWM .tar.md5 is known to work with Odin and Windows with those Samsung USB drivers.
Okay, tried Odin under wine as teh roxxorz suggested and it did not work (as CMTeamEpic pointed out)
Came back to the thread and saw CMTeamEpic's reply so I tried a few more things in VirtualBox and got Odin to recognize the device now but when I go to flash the file the virtual machine reboots (scary!).
Phone is not bricked but also isn't rooted.
I think I have VMWare with Windows XP on my other computer so I will try that next. I know sometimes VMWare can run certain things smoother than VirtualBox at times so we'll see what happens.
I wish Samsung phones didn't need Odin (or Windows specific software in general) to root. I'm open to any other suggestions, I'm not a n00b and I'm comfortable with using ADB if I need to (no offense to any n00bs :laugh
Thanks for the help so far guys, I'll let you know what happens with VMWare.
Guide is now posted in development.

Alright, tried Odin again under VMWare instead of VirtualBox and everything went fine. Flashed CWM Recovery in Odin and then went into CWM and flashed the zip file to get su, installed busybox and now I have root!
Thanks guys for your help. :highfive:
On a side note, I think it's pretty ridiculous that I spent 2 days wrestling with this and doing everything correctly except for the fact that it just wouldn't work with VirtualBox. Hopefully anyone who runs Linux exclusively who is trying to root this phone will see this and just avoid VirtualBox all together! VirtualBox runs well for most things but VMWare does some stuff better... and I'm pretty sure VMWare Player (as opposed to VMWare Workstation) is free.
Now to figure out how to compile a kernel and build a rom... maybe?

I also finished rooting before seeing your post in the dev section. It's pretty stupid that I can view the dev section when I'm not logged in but it's not there when I am logged in. It seems the mods could at least make it read-only for members logged in with under 10 posts.

Weird situation that makes little sense. When I connect my GP to my PC nothing shows in Odin.
1. Windows detects the device
2. I can transfer files if I connect as storage
3. I can flash using Heimdall
4. The cable is known good
5. The USB port seems legit
6. I have USB debugging turned on
7. GP is rooted
8. Odin ver. 1.85
I know I have to have done something stupid. The device itself is fine and in perfect working order other than Odin not being able to see it. The searches I have done usually point to bad cables or USB ports. I can keep trying different ports but I only have one cable(the original) and it has worked without issue ever since I cracked open the retail package.
Anyway, it's not a huge issue(again, the device is fine). It just struck me as weird. I'll keep trying new USB ports and maybe another PC then report back. If you have any ideas what could have caused this, I'm all ears.

well are you trying to use odin?
heimdall can do the same stuff it just has different drivers
if you want the samsung drivers, install kies
I was able to do everything with Heimdall. I won't worry about it.

My I605 was rooted using Casual one click. Worked fine. Then I put Revolution HD 15.0 on like a retard because I didnt realize it didnt support my phone. Made it to where I had to back to stock using CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW-Rev0406_low_ship_user.tar.md5 and Mobile Odin. Why mobile odin do you ask? Because I cant get my pc to recognize my Note 2 through odin. Worked great got back to stock 4.1.1. After a few hours of perfect operation I did the OTA 4.1.2 and installed it and imediately got boot loop samsung note 2 white screen with no Recovery Option available but I do have download mode. I tried Odin from the computer again and it still wont recognize my phone being connected. Think I did it real good this time.... Any takers?
Try using a different USB cable and/or a different USB port on your computer.

Yes sir I just tried a different cord and port. What seems to happen is drivers are installed and says Samsung Device but I get no feedback from Odin on the com port.
For more information I do have Kies, Odin pit and tar files, Odin 307, Samsung usb drivers installed. Unfortunately I don't have another pc to try.
Hmmmm. I just tested my connection using Odin 3.07 and Odin 1.85 and neither showed a connection to my Note II. However, when I'm powered on normally and connect the same USB from the same PC port, the Note II is recognized. So I'm not sure what is going on with Odin and am a bit worried myself should I ever need to go back to stock. Unfortunately I'm not a guru, but hopefully one will visit this thread and put forth their thoughts and guidance.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

I had something similar happen. I had to uninstall and reinstall the Note 2 drivers. Then also I had to re partition the phone. Once the partition was done the phone was fully functional.

Hey everybody. I didn't get any replies in the vibrant section, and I figured it is also an over all samsung product question so here goes. I bought a very messed up samsung galaxy vibrant t959 off a friend for $20 hoping I could fix it. They had flashed a captivate rom to it but I can still manage to get it into download mode. But heres the problem. Odin wont recognize it when I plug it in it just says windows does not recognize device has malfunctioned or something along the lines of that, the bubble shows up over and over every two seconds. I got odin to recognize it once before, but my brother unplugged it XP. Now I can not get odin to recognize it again, any tips? I have a linux computer at my disposal as well if that helps. I am familiar with flashing, odin, android sdk, adb. I know I have drivers installed good because the same cable with the same port and same computer I actually modded this same device before my friend messed it up. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

I would recommend uninstalling and then re-installing your USB drivers and see if Odin will then recognize the phone. Another alternative would be to see if Heimdall recognizes the device and use that to flash the stock ROM to the device. If you are unfamiliar on how to use Heimdall I would recommend taking a look at this guide.

You can try it on Linux I can't guarantee it will make a difference but I would try it anyway. If you are going to try it on Linux make sure you configure USB access for the device correctly in order for the computer to recognize your phone.
