[Q] installing a new android software - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've been trying to update my software manually on my Galaxy S II GT-I9100G using odin v1.85 with this " I9100GXXLPQ_I9100GODDLP7_I9100GDDLP5_HOME.tar.md5 ".
first is it a compatible software for my cellphone version?
second my phone when connected does not enter the download mode,it restarts only, but when disconnected it goes to the download mode easily, what could be the problem? (P.S. : i downloaded and installed the samsung USB drivers for cell phones)

>>> Phone is supposed to be on and in download mode not off to use Odin .
Possible failed OTA update as per multiple posts due to root not removed .
Leading to USB on phone not recognized try a factory reset first .

Galaxy S3 not being recognized in odin in download mode
Could someone please assist.
My rooted Galaxy S3 phone (FW v4.1.2) is stuck at the Samsung startup screen after installing a font app from the app store
To resolve I have tried:
1. The recovery screen - doing a factory reset and reboot
2.. Reflash through ODIN.
I can get get the phone into download mode but ODIN will not recognize the phone in Download mode (Funny that phone is recognised by Odin at the stuck Samsung boot screen)
- I have unistalled and reinstalled KIES and USB drivers
- I am using the stock USB cable
- Tried different USB ports on computer
- Tried on different computers
The problem may be Windows driver related. Because phone gets stuck at the Samsung startup screen, all processes of driver installation do not conclude successful. "MTP USB Device" shows error in Windows Device manager, USB composite deivce.
Uninstalled and reinstalled these a couple of times without success.
Please assist
Issues with usb on s3
Actually fixed my own Question....
My phone was in download mode and was not being recognized by my computer my windows 7 computer. I pressed the usb icon, where a box popped up saying that there was an unknown device. You could find this in device manager.
I then went to device manager to update the driver instead of pointing the device directly to the driver when i clicked browse my computer for software then it shows a location and option to let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a box pops up showing model above that there is a little check box uncheck that two boxes will appear with manufacturer and model
Scroll samsung electronics and model samsung mobile composite device that is what you want to update the driver to...
I pulled the battery then re-entered download mode and windows to over installing the rest now it works fine. I would attach images but it will not let me for some reason. if anyone can help with that I will do it later.
THIS COULD POSSIBLY help with devices not being found on computers in bootloader or just on rom loaded and running..

Maybe solved it
Hey guys, i know it's a bit late now, but i had exactly the same problem with my gt-i9300 (got stuck on samsung splash screen and odin didn't recognize it in download mode) and just realised that everytime, i connected my phone to my PC in download mode, a message would appear that "Gadget Device" (or something like that) was connected. Then i searched in my device manager for the name of it (i found it under USB-Devices) and uninstalled the driver of it. As i connected it again with odin started it would install the driver automatically and *swoosh* odin recognized it.
A year and some later after the last post and I seem to be having this problem as well... I believe it was due to a bad flash at very low battery level which ended up in encryption failure ya da da, factory reset, clear/format everything and flash custom rom from SD because any other connection would not work.... then managed to get windows (many flavors inc. 7, 8 and 10) to connect as MTP or in USB debugging mode but Odin mode (download) just won't do anything... i put the phone in DL mode, nothing happens, no windows connection sounds, no changes in devices manager, even when searching for new hardware. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has had anything like that. I'd really like to flash stock to go back to a custom rom, flash twrp to replace cwm but all seems to no avail if i can't get a connection while in DL mode.
tried to install adb fastboot but also nada since no connection is being made.... might be something with DL mode gone awry with the bad flash... long story but OTA update from current ROM decided on its own to push update even though battery was at 5% and no user interaction ever happened...
we'll see what happens...

[Q] Did I brick my Samsung SGH-I777? Please advise.

Hello All,
I had Jellybam 10.2 and had trouble moving to 10.3 update. So....
I tried to flash a newer version of Philz CWM 5.10.9. it failed and threw the screen on the phone to Phone -> Yellow Triangle -> Monitor, followed by: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I tried the Vol UP & Vol Down and Power button to get in to ODIN mode download mode - just futile - could not get it.
I installed the Kies and the USB Driver - the phone is recognized as a Samsung Mobile CDC Composite device and Samsung Mobile USB Modem but it shows as Unspecified - Gadget Serial in devices and Printers in windows 7. Kies is unable to connect to the phone.
Have I bricked the phone? Is it time to move on and get myself a new phone? Any assistance would help.
Please advise. Thanks

No. You should be able to recover the phone easily.
You can find the various resources you will need in the Download Repository.
Make sure you have the correct usb driver installed on your windows computer. Look in the add/remove programs dialog for Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones. This should be present because you installed Kies, but if not you should install it first.
Download a stock firmware. I would suggest the latest version, UCMD8. You will need the full version.
Download a version of Odin3, preferably v1.85, if you don't already have it on your pc. Open oden on the desktop.
With the phone off, connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. Now hold down all three buttons vol-, vol+ & pwr. When the first screen appears, hit vol+ and you will be in download mode.
Now put the firmware tar file in the PDA slot of Odin. Start. Done.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Galaxy S3 in Download Mode but no further

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 which was running Cyanogenmod 11 Snapshot M12 which had been running for a while but then I decided to revert back to the Samsung Stock ROM but chose to do it using Mobile Odin.
I have to admit that despite the phone warning me I had only 46% charge and needed 50% I foolishly thought the difference was so minor that it didn't matter. It did matter.
The phone stopped during the flashing process and now I see the Mobile phone . . Exclamation Mark yellow triangle . . PC icon on my phone screen with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I cannot get into recovery mode. I can get into Download Mode and I have tried to flash the stock ROM using Odin and Windows 7 (PC) but it stops dead at "Setupconnection" and Heimdall and Ubuntu 14.04 (laptop) but Heimdall does not see the device either. I have tried three different USB cables in 5 different USB sockets in my PC and 3 in my laptop.
I thought of using a USB Jig but from research it appears that would only put the phone in download mode which I can already do myself.
Does anyone have any other ideas please?

[Q] Download mode - usb device not recognized

Hello, I've got a SGS2 (i9100) from a collegue to repair. It doesn't boot, only the "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100" screen appears. It has probably Jelly Bean 4.1 software. I can get into download mode, but can't open recovery mode. In download mode the text on screen is:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
I tried to plug it to the computer and use odin to install jelly bean software, but computer says "USB Device not recognized" and Odin can't see the device. I tried on Windows 8.1 x64 (2 computers) and on Windows 7 x86, also used different cables. I installed Kies and newest drivers and it gave no result. I also tried to pull the battery out when connected to the computer in DL mode, but then the phone just went off and nothing happened in a few minutes.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite and it's visible in Odin.
What can I do?
