Here's the thing guys: a week ago i was at a bar whith some friends and one of them spilled a glass of beer on my phone.I queckly removed the beer from it,removed the battery,sim card and sd card and left it for 1 hour to dry.After that i put the battery back and turn it on.The soft just wen't crazy so i decided to go in CWM and flash the soft back and everything was working fine.During the night i left the battery and the sim out of the phone.In the morning after i used an hair-dryer to be sure that there was no liqued in it, i decided to charge my phone.All wen't well untill i unpluged it and got the a message saing : battery still charging.I pluged it back and left the phone there for 4 hours.Again the same problem.I restarted the phone and wiped battery status,still no efect.After this i decided to flash the stock firmware.I put the phone in downloade mode and connected to my laptop.First odin added the device,the removed it then added it again.After that i put the 3 files and hit flash,but the an error appeared: odin removed it again and windows 7 gaved my this message: usb not recognized.i tried every metode on the internet.No effect.Now odin and kies wont see it.
I've installed the drivers again and again.I am abble to enter downloade mode,but as i said odin wont see it.When i turn on the phone,i get this message: firmware upgrade encounted an issue.please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I know that this is a soft brick problem,not a hard brick problem,because previosuly i had hard brick and repaired it with JTAG at a local service.
Before this problem appeared,i was using Rootbox Rom.
Please help me.I'm begging you.!
p.s: should i try to reinstall my windows ? and sorry for any grammar mistakes.
You need to clean up your device, usb por at least. 99% alcohol should do the trick.
Formatting win7 or clean samsung drivers & kies uninstall should do it too.
This is trial & error, you can always use that guy who spilled the beer's laptop
Sent from the little guy
Your USB-Port is wrong. you should clean this up and also the whole phone as posted before. All this problems are caused by the USB-Port...
Disassemble it and clean it with q-tips and isopropyl alcohol,

Ummmmmm...sneaky little device, is it charging at least?
If not, usb is completly busted.
Anyways, if it does charge doesn't actually mean your pc will see it, are you using s2's genuine cable? Does your pc sees ANY DEVICE CONNECTED at all? An a unknown device at least?

I eventualy figuared out that my usb was broken, so i send it to a friend who works at samsung service.the repair cost 30 dollars.He told me that i was lucky,because at first he tought that the motherboard was damaged,but it wasn't.Now i have my phone and i recenty installed neatrom lite v4.4 and i have some problems:
1.When i lock the phone,my lockscreen won't appear ? how can i fix that ? i tried from setting,but nothing.
2.Should i install Siyah/Dorimanx or just stay whith the stock kernel ? i don't want my phone to have overheating problems,stability problems etc.I'm not a fan of OC,i just want the phone to move faster and that it won't get stuck,freeze,laggy.
3.How can i install those addons ? i'm interested in the aosp lockscreen with shortcuts and weather info,keyboard aosp,to have the circle battery note gallery and some camera options.thats all
4.How can i add more icons in the notification center ?
5.When i hold the powerbutton,the phone shuts done.Why is that ? I don't have the 4 options that were with the stock version(airplaine mode,data enabler,silent profile and power off).How can i have these back ?
Once again guys,thank you very much for your help.

HI all members and fellow S2 experts.
I am quite new to android flashing and rooting.. and i have run into a problem and i really really need your help.Here is the story ....
I have stock rom 2.3.5 and cynagonmod7 in my phone.One day i made back up of my stock rom and went to recovery mode and changed to cynagon mod... I used cynagon for few days than made back up of it so that i can go back to stock rom.So i did back up it went fine.than i went to restore my stock rom and thats where the problem started.It didnt let me go back.
My phone does not turn on now.
When i try it just stays on the main screen where it says samsung galaxy s2 bla bla and that yellow triangle (indicating its rooted).
It does not go to recovery mode.
Once on charge it shows me the cell which appears when you charge your phone whilst it being off,it just shows me a empty cell and within that cell that rounded circle shaped icon not moving just as an icon.
And it lets me go to download mode but odin3-v1.85 does not recognise any device being connected or anything....
So basically i am doomed
I have tried taking battery out all sort of different combinations to reboot go to recovery mode all that but its just not happening and in download mode Odin does not detect my phone.
So i really dont know what to do.So can you please please please help and guide me how to get my phone back to life i really need to
Detailed answers would really help.Thanks for reading and please help me out.If any queries you can ask me.

Thanks alot guys it is exactly as you said.Installed kies in friends laptop went in download mode it installed the driver and than odin recognised the phone and put 2.3.5 again and done its working yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
You guys are star.THanks alot to all......
1- Try charging your phone for an hour or so (Just in case).
2- On that second laptop that recognizes something been connected to it, go to device manager and if you see any unknown usb device, delete it. Unplug your phone and plug it again (in download mode).
Good luck I hope this works
EDIT:
Glad to see you're up and running
help needed
i have the same problem
samsung galaxy s2
firmware = GINGERBREAD.BZKJ2
with the odin way i root it and it stated there PASS
but my phone just could not reboot after all
i tried the above suggestions, but it is still the same
when in download mode and i connected to computer, the odin3 shown ID:COM
experts, pls i got no idea on this, i tried whatever i can do.
So, My SGS2 was fine, just a few problems with connecting to my MacBook Pro (bootcamped Win7 & Odin), but after a few attempts it would always connect. I tried to update a rom to the new leaked ICS build via Mobile Odin, but something went wrong and all the charging images failed drawing.
Anyways, yesterday I tried to flash a recovery image via odin, to get back to my NAND and it failed halfway through (dodgy connector on SGS2).
Tried it a second time, and failed on flashing kernel.
I can access download screen, but windows refuses to recognize the phone, installing drivers for a "unknown device".
Tried flashing a kernel through OSX Lion and Heimdell, but it keeps failing to either find a device in download mode, or "claiming interface failed"
I've brought a new cable, but i have a feeling my USB port on the SGS2 has gone. Any help? Insurance most likely won't cover because it now says (2 Custom Binary Downloads) and they don't cover, and surely warranty has voided too.
Please help?
I will make a donation to the the person who can help me.
new leaked ICS build via Mobile Odin
Thats a test pre beta build guess its the problem .
Looks a usb driver problem that what you try .
remove Kies reboot reinstall Kies connect phone in download mode and let windows find drivers .
jje
try reinstalling kies. Or better yet use another computer for flashing. Can you boot into recovery mode? If so try flashing a custom rom to try to boot up your phone for the mean time

@JJEgan
Kies idea isn't working. My guess is the fact its 64bit Win7 on MBP bootcamp.
Or at least I'm hoping. Won't get to a desktop computer till monday, so had to buy a cheap backup phone.
@ephraim033
Flashing the new rom removed recovery, and can only access download mode.
I just get a screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
So far, I have noticed I either restart the computer (after uninstalling failed "unknown device" driver) and/or leave it for a while, and bam, it searches for drivers for the phone when I retry , but it seems to be related to pure luck with the positioning of the cable into the phone.
I have cleaned it several times with canned air and computing alcohol (i wont dare spell the name of it, and don't have the bottle to hand right now) so dust and debris is not the issue.
Edit: the failed driver comes up with "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" so I'm guessing i have to uninstall and reboot each time I try?
SOLVED. Have found the issue. Uninstalled KIES and all drivers. MEGA DEEP clean with a brand new dry tooth brush (infront and behind the protrusion within the usb port on both the phone and laptop).
Several reboots on both phone and laptop.
Second try, installed serial gadget and Samsung drivers automatically, installed CWM.
Many thanks

Disclaimer:
I've searched all over the forum and found few close to my problem but this seems different
Background:
I recently flashed my Galaxy S2 International version with CM9 nightly build. Since then, when I turn off the phone and put it for charging, the battery charging animation stays like that till the phone is fully charged unlike the stock ROM where that animation disappears after some time.
Simultaneously I've noticed something else, when my phone is plugged to USB cable attached to my computer, a pop up appears at the bottom right (notification area) which says "USB Device not recognized" and in Device Manager it's listed as "Unknown Device"
I ignored it thinking that it might be an issue with the CM9 Build as it's not fully functional. I've had the phone that way for around 10 days.
Recently I thought of switching to XXLPQ(Official ICS Update) and I got into Download Mode but Odin doesn't see the phone. No "communication" establishing between phone and computer.
I also had CM7.1 on SD Card and I thought flashing that old CM might bring my USB functionality back.
So got into ClockWork Mod Recovery and flashed it. Flash was successful. But now phone is in boot loop with "Samsung Galaxy S2" with an exclamation.
If I try to press and hold the power button, it comes back to that battery charging screen even though phone is not plugged to either USB or charger.
I can get into download mode(Odin can't see the phone) but not into Recovery Mode.
Three things that I see as of now on my phone are the boot loop I mentioned above or Download Mode (but not recognized by Odin) or Battery Charging animation.
I'm sure there's nothing wrong with USB Cables or Drivers or Kies or anything else. Because my brother's S2 works just fine which is on "Stock ROM".
I need help. I'm sure that CM9 nightly broke that basic USB Device functions on the phone.
Please let me know if there is any alternative for recovering my S2. I know that the worst is, it goes to Repair Center.
But I hate to give up on this!!
Are there any other tools or recovery softwares which can be used to re-flash the phone other than Odin no matter what screwed up state the phone is in!?
Deleted - sorry, hadn't read your post properly.
firstly i want to ask does your phone charges? if it does it sounds like u dont have development option enabled.. or ur usb port is broken.. if it doesnt charges then im pretty sure ur usb port is broken...
about the recovery.. can u use ur SD card on ur brother's SG2 and put stock rom into it? and then insert it into ur SG2 and try flashing it throught CWM

Thanks for the response Warrez!
- Phone charges (but that battery charging logo stays like that)
- When I flashed CM9 nightly I'm sure I haven't checked or played with Development option (It's not enabled)
- And last, I'm not able to get into Recovery Mode as well (already mentioned above)
Any other inputs!?
I have the EXACT same problem
Me too exact same problem .
I've confirmed my setup is fine as it works with Odin for my tab 7.7
Exact same issue, stuck at Samsung logo with exclamation mark. Can't get into recovery, can get into download but computer says device not recognised .
I was running Slim ics at the time then about to switch to cm9 and siyah kernel

Well.. I made some progress in last few days! I've taken out the battery and got into Download Mode. I was holding buttons and my brother inserted the battery. What I did was I powered of the system and connected the phone while it was in "Download Mode". I waited for some time.. Say more than 3-4 mins.
Rebooted my PC and once it's back it wasn't saying anything. For my surprise I see the "Yellow COM" established in Modem. Without delay I grabbed recovery ROM which is posted in one of the sticky threads. Flashed the phone.
Now, it got little interesting! When the phone is booted back post flashing it shows that "MTP Device" even though USB Cable isn't plugged into it!
When I turn off the phone, it either reboots back without hesitation or ends up at "big green battery charging" animation!
To get back into OS, I have to get into recovery mode and then I use "Reboot System"!
And that "USB Device malfunctioned or not recognized" thing is intermittent.
At times it says that and at times it establishes "COM connection" in Odin.
I re-flashed old bootloader thinking that it might be a phone's basic operating driver issue. But that didn't solve the issue!
I've even flashed latest stock European ICS Firmware.
And with ICS, things got even more interesting!
It started throwing up new message "Charging Paused due to over voltage"
What I'm sure of is.. It's definitely got to do with CM9 ICS. Because when I was on beta official ICS before I switched to CM9 Nightly phone was working like a charm! As soon as I flashed CM9 Nightly, I started getting that "USB Device Not recognized" issue with the battery irregularities.
I wasn't sure how I could get the phone recognized in Odin. Hastily I flashed CM7.1 on CM9 compatible ClockWorkMod Recovery enabled Kernel. That is when the problem got more complicated!!
I'm about to give up and pay someone to fix it via Jtag.
I've tried several computers, several cables , multiple reboots and everything else.
Windows just still says usb device not recognized so the phone must be corrupted somewhere.
Please change ur USB cable, i had this problem n its only frm the cable.
I don't believe this.........
I had tried two other cables ( a nokia usb>micro usb and another one ) as i had lost my samsung usb>micro usb lead and both those said unrecognised device....
I had just given up, ordered a jtag repair and then my old dear finds the samsung cable!!!!
Bizarely it now recognises the phone.
Hi Guys
I am having the exact same problem and am still looking for a solution.
My phone is not recognised by the PC after installing CM9 Nightly and now I am stuck until I can get the device driver installed again so that I can use Odin.
I am using the official Samsung USB cable which worked fine until the CM9 flash.
I am assuming this is a common problem so am hoping that somebody can supply a fix asap.
Any help will be appreciated

I had the almost the same problem .. I took it to the place I bought from .. and fix it .. they told me it was a hardware problem ( I remember with the hard disk .. I forgot )
The same thing, after using the Custom ICS LPQ roms!!
Now there's no way i can't use Odin to flash official rom!

Last time I checked.. My phone is getting detected in Odin. But not always! Every 5 attempts it sure is seen by Odin 2-3 times. And it's on ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ with "Charging Paused high voltage detected" message even though it's not plugged to charger or USB Cable.
My brother advised me to leave the phone that way and wait till it goes dead and then keep it dead for at least a week and then try charging it fresh with phone's stock charger. Now 5 days passed and I'm waiting for another 2 days to try this out!
Cheers,
A.

Gee.. Try this! Take the battery out of the phone and press the power button for few secs with the battery out. Take someones help to put the battery back while you are holding the download mode button combination.
When you get into download mode, leave the phone that way and do not plug it to the USB Cable. Power off the PC and wait of 3 mins. Now connect the phone to the USB Cable while the PC is still off and phone is in Download mode.
Turn the PC on and wait for till it reaches desktop and then give it 3-4 mins. Now launch Odin. If you have any luck you should see that "yellow COM"!
The same procedure worked for me! If you happen to see that "yellow COM" on Odin don't delay anymore. Just flash any stock ROM. 2.3.6 or 4.0.3!
P.S.
Odin may not see the phone on the first attempt. If so.. Repeat the steps for 2-3 times
All the best!
Cheers,
A.

Well, I flashed this because i bootlooped on CM7 and nothing I tried fixed it:
http://hotfile.com/dl/145799379/87b0b05/S5830XWKS2_S5830XENKS1_S5830XWKS2.zip.html
Via odin, all went well- passed.
Then when i went to turn it on (after Cache wipe via stock recovery) the two light up buttons at the side of the home button light up and nothing else does. The screen does not turn on. When i pull the battery and wait a few moments then plug in USB, place battery back in Hold Home + Power + Vol Down- nothing happens- odin (4.38) does not recognise it. I have got cooper.ops and the new DDK8Q firmware from SamMobile.
Well im thinking: Either A) Something in my phone has blown by chance (Not Likely)
or B) The USB 1.0 Port my PC uses is faulty and interupted the process when it was working on the boot.
and C) The Firmware I downloaded was corrupted and Hard Bricked it
Now, I have already taken it to service centre before for a new motherboard (forgot I was no longer on the Defy so I flashed a Defy ROM on autopilot from the same SD)
so I'm wondering, with already haven claimed it on the warranty- will it now no longer be covered by warranty?
And, has anyone ever had this before?
Place phone on your papers. It will stop them blowing away. Seriously hope someone supplies you with good solution. I once had similar prob when using odin on laptop (vista), tried on PC (xp and 7) used on xp and managed to flash ok. Make sure drivers are ok and that you can get in download mode first though. GL

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?

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?
