i put my i9100 into download mode to use odin to flash rom, when connected to my computer via usb, computer shows unknown usb device (driver installed, tried multiple computer and different usb ports and usb cables)
this started happening after i flash a rom, it is CriskeloROM Gingerbread V34.
tried using recovery to flash to a different rom, recovery would inform me that can't mount sd card.
help please.
Remove KIES, then reinstall samsung USB drives only.
This should be in Q&A section.

uninstall kies and USB drivers, install kies (not install kies, just driver), tried all those, doesn't work.
it's not that the Odin is not compatible with my S II, or the drivers are not installed (when i'm booted into my phone, connect phone to computer while not in download mode, computer picks up phone fine. it's only when the phone is in download mode.)
anything else guys?
or is my phone ****ed?

thanks for the suggestion, when the phone is not in download mode, connecting to the computer with usb is fine, it's only when it's in download mode that it's give me troubles.
Hmmm... Then search for hardware id issues.

did you find any solution ? i am having same problem .??
I don't have any USB device connected other than the mouse on PC. i have even tried on my laptop with no mouse.
I have downloaded pit file and uvjfd.tar two times from the forums.
I have tried flashing multiple times from both my PC & laptop using Odin 3.0 v1.0, v1.85, v3.07(latest), EZOdin v1.70 and installed Samsung USB drivers multiple times, even downloaded latest driver version from official Samsung Vibrant page.
I have tried flashing from all possible USB ports on my PC & laptop wherever the phone was being recognized. But now with the latest official Samsung Vibrant drivers, my phone is not being detected by any USB port on my PC.
But whenever I have flashed, Odin is stuck at Cache or Modem or recently(with latest samsung drivers), DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I have even tried flashing through Heimdall 1.3.1 but the zadig.exe shows the device only as 'Gadget Serial' no matter how many times I try, and installs the driver with device as Gadget Serial under libusb in Device Manager and I also tried by updating driver as Samsung Composite USB as mentioned in readme. Either Way Heimdall frontend will not flash and says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".
Edit: I tried with another USB cable, of LG GS500v, and Oh Lord Jesus, Odin flashed past it. Great, time to buy a new Samsung USB cable, now!

Dont worry....this time go to download mode and flash eugenes that does not brick aka Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo with the same pit file and ur good to go brother
Similar Problem but different results.
Hi!
Whomever can help me, please help me. Right now, I am on stock Froyo 2.2 after the factory reset so this is how I got it but it is rooted only. I am trying to overwrite CWM because I cannot get into its recovery no matter how many times I flash it. Odin just will not recognize my phone when I am in download mode. When my phone is on, it will allow the mass storage and that works but when in download mode, my PC says unrecognized devide. I have a feeling that is the problem and I have updated the drivers several times, especially from Samsung but to no avail. Does someone have a solution to this problem? I want to go to Avatar ROM with my phone which is Jelly Bean and have seen its possible but I feel CWM is holding me back.
Thank you in advance!

Can you explain the steps your taking when you try to get into odin
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
The steps I take is put the phone into download mode by pulling the battery and then holding both the volume up and down then reinsert the battery. It shows the download screen. I then start odin and I have tried version 1.7 and the latest version of 3.0.7. Then I plug my phone into the USB port and windows pops up saying unrecognized device. I have reinstalled drivers several times. Now to describe my desktop is that it is a pentium III 550 Mhz...and old computer and running Windows XP Professional. I am able to do the mass storage when the phone is on normally so it recognizes it that way though. I have tried different USB ports on it as well so just unsure. I have rooted the phone and have superuser app access. ROM manager was supposed to have flashed the recovery mode but it never goes into the CWR mode either and its version is 2.5.1.2 which I have seen work on these phones in videos on YouTube so guess I am trying a different route so I can play with the mods to find a ROM I like. I was going to try the Avatar ROM for the vibrant but just cannot seem to get to the point where I can get the ROM flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep the battery in and lull up Odin. Cut off the phone and hold both volumes while inserting USB hopefully the computer will then recognize it

Its still not recognizing it. I am almost consigned to wait until either my laptop is fixed or get a new laptop to replace it because this desktop is 13 years old and has the old USB 1.1 but wouldn't think that makes a difference. Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers but I have not installed Kies yet but heard some bad things about that.

USB cable does make difference. And USB ports even on the same computer. Check also your phone's drivers. Finally, try out Heimdall one-click package for t959, it is more powerful and sensitive than Odin.
Good luck

And since only thing remaining in your case is USB cable, I would say try with a different micro USB cable, even a different vendor's will do, as it did the trick for me( see the edit in OP)
I will try that. Thank you! I need to get a car charger anyway so I can get a usb adapter for the car and a usb cable and try it that way.

Stuck on cache
I'm also stuck on cache & I have tried more than one USB cable. Is there something else that I might be doing wrong? I'm completely uninclined technologically. The fact that I got my phone into download mode after 'bricking' is a feat in itself. Now what do I do when I'm stuck??

Great that you could get it to the download mode.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed for your Operating System. Preferably, download the latest drivers. You can verify when your device is recognized when connected in download mode.
2. Make sure you follow this thread for Odin flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
3. If unable to flash using ODIN successfully, try with different USB ports, on same computer or a different one, say, a laptop.
4. If still unable to do so, try with different USB cables (any micro-usb should do).
In this way, you should by trying multiple alternatives at each step you should be able to eliminate the options and figure out what is really creating the problem in your flashing. Trust me my friend, this has not go anything to do with technology. just follow the steps, try alternatives and you would resolve this. Do post back on thread, if you have any queries.
Bro's I have a galaxy s3 32gb gt i9300 with stock 4.1.2. When I connect the phone to my laptop via usb (laptop is also Samsung) I hear a beep sound on the cellphone and it begins to charge. However, I see no options and no usb connected 3 pin symbol in the panel of phone and nor is there any other option like mount cellphone etc. I do have latest version of Kies installed on my laptop but even that shows no device connected. Please help guys I have spent a bunch of hrs trying to figure out how to get it going but eventually had to register on this forum for help :silly:
Tried a different cable? Usb uses fewer pins to charge than to connect to a pc. Perhaps the cable is damaged (or usb socket).

And yes tried different usb cable, plugged it to different pc's, manually downloaded drivers from Samsung but still the dawn thing doesn't work
Edit: just now tried connecting a different cellphone using s3's usb cable on the same usb port and that works fine. So I guess that confirms both the cable and the port are fine
By port, I meant the one on your s3...
Check its clear. If it is, factory reset. If its still a problem, send for repair

I'm sorry for my quick scan on the thread if I miss something.
Maybe you should try go into recovery and mount USB in there to see what happens or try download mode as well (in this case, with download mode you can see whether USB works or not, if it works then means maybe problem with ROM, so you don't have to send to repair because software issue is not really a issue here, and if it doesn't, then download flash won't start so won't affect on your warranty for flash counts )

I had this problem before with a new brand cable, i just solved the problem buyin a usn charger for Cielo cards.
amazing.
Solved
I tried everything possible....
uninstall drivers. reboot laptop. install drivers. reboot laptop. plug in phone. no sucess.
put phone in download mode and plugged in. no success.
tried on different laptop running Windows 8 and Windows XP. Still no success.
Then i read about this somewhere...
said uninstall drivers. reboot laptop. install drivers. reboot. make sure USB debugging is OFF. Plug in phone. Switch ON USB debugging. Laptop should now detect the phone. But that didnt happen either. No success again.
Also read....
Go to phone dialer.... dial *#7284# to access PhoneUtil > "Qualcomm USB Settings" > set it to "MTP + ADB" .... phone will reboot. Then connect via USB and everything will be ok.
Unfortunately....
dialing *#7284# to access PhoneUtil did not show me Qualcomm USB setting.
It gave me 2 options:
UART> Modem or PDA (here Modem was selected for me by default)
and
USB> Modem or PDA (here Modem was selected for me by default)
I left UART as Modem itself.... but changed USB to PDA. Then click "SAVE and RESET" button.
My phone then rebooted. Once my phone rebooted and i was on lock screen/home screen.... i connected the USB to my phone and voila... my laptop detected my phone as GT-i9300 and show both my SDcard and extCard :good:
Give it a shot and lemme know....
I have same problem. I tried 3 diferent usb cables, two original, 3 computers and nothing. I used MTP few days ago and now nothing in options, just cahrge. I tried factory reset, clean cache, usb debuging on/of, in download mode too... Reinstaled Kies and drivers. I cleaned usb but still nothing. I tried secret code but not have option ADB+MTP. Any help? Sory for my english

Does #*7284# give you the following:
------—-—-------------
UART
-Modem <--- selected by default
-PDA
USB
-modem
-PDA <--- selected by default
???
If under USB, modem is selected by default, then change and select PDA.
Leave UART value to remain as modem itself. No charge here
Or worse comes to worse...
While keeping phone connected to laptop, enable USB debugging and see what happens.

OK...
So at the moment your PhoneUtil settings are UART>Modem and USB>PDA right? Leave it at this setting.
Now with the phone connected to you computer... Go to device manager and Uninstall any Samsung drivers that u would see in Device Manager (Windows). If you see anything like adb drivers then also Uninstall. If you have any other phone drivers (Nexus, LG etc), Uninstall those as well. Also from Control Panel>Uninstall a Program, Uninstall any USB drivers programs that u would see in the list.
Once u are certain you have Uninstalled all phone & adb USB drivers. Also Uninstall Kies completely. You might also need to disable Windows auto driver installer. Reboot ur laptop / computer.
Once computer reboots... Google for Samsung USB drivers for mobile phone. The version I used was v1.5.27. You can try with any version. Some people have had the best luck with v1.4.60. Install the drivers and reboot the system again.
Switch off ur phone. And go to download mode.
Then connect ur phone to the computer via USB cable and see what happens? Look in Device Manager again and see what is showing. Also try using a USB 2.0 port for best results.
Once done... Unplug the phone... Get out of download mode.... (u can simply put the battery out of the phone)... Or long press the power button... Let the phone restart. Plug the phone again to the computer and see what happens?

These are the only things I can suggest.
If all fails then your only option would be to download "Airdroid" from Play store.
It will not solve your issue but will let you transfer files to your phone at least

Hi all,
I'm planning to root my GS4 but I noticed that when I plug my phone into my computer (win 7) it switches to Media Device instead of staying in Installer mode. I have USB debugging checked and install from unknown sources checked. I've tried to uninstall the drivers and then plug back in to reinstall the drivers but have had the same result.
Has anyone heard of this and know a possible solution or something I could try? I really don't want to start rooting my phone if its not staying in debug mode.
Thanks!

Try getting the latest USB drivers from my signature. You should be in MTP mode when it's connected to the PC I do believe. It will then show a picture of you phone and you can browse the device then.

Ok i'll try that. I thought if USB debugging was checked that there was a third mode (installer) that it stayed in besides the Media or Camera options that can be selected because I was reading another post on XDA about the root tool by a post from user Jondoyle24:

Use the Recovery's/Root tools in my signature. I'll also PM you.
My LG E970 does not have an usb connection to the computer.
I tried connecting in fastboot and ADB via command prompt, the computer does not see it.
It says slow charging when connected to a computer, 2 different computers.
I have the LG united drivers installed, reinstalled and rebooted.
I was on 4.4 and I did a restore to stock ATT 4.1.2, still no luck.
I'm out of ideas.
EDIT:
I tried LGNPST from: http://pastebin.com/bRpR3aB6
I put it into download mode and the phone shows "DOWNLOAD MODE" "DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the process is complete"
It only shows that, LGNPST does not detect anything.

From there you need to select the ls970.dll and the bin file in lgnpst.

It won't let you select anything unless something is detected. Example: "UNKNOWN PORT 01"
And nothing is detected.

Try Kush's universal adb drivers for windows. If you are running Win8.1, make sure it's usb2.0 and not 3.0. If it still doesn't see it, try a different windows os.

I tried the different drivers, still "slow charge mode on the phone." It is suppose to pop up that USB debugging notification on the phone if it senses a computer connection. I'm using windows 7 and usb 2.0 only. Tried on different computer, still slow charging mode.
did you turn on "usb debug" in setting->Develop options?

Yes, it is on. Still only "slow charging mode"
Still not working after I flashed SnowLepoardJB's 800MB+ stock ROM. Any other suggestions?
Hi, I'm joining this thread since I have the same problem... My phone charges, but no device connection. Could there be a kernel module missing? Is there a way to check? A #lsmod type command?

Ok... I got a new USB cord and it works now.

Good for you. I tried different USB cords, and it still doesn't work.
Well, if you can select USB debugging and charge the phone over USB, but the phone doesn't notice the computer then it may be a damaged USB port... I saw a thread about that on a Kindle I think... But it sounds like software isn't the problem... Good luck.

I recently had the same problem and my solution was to use the Koush Universal ADB Driver recommended by someone else. Prior to that all I could see the contents of my SD card and external SD card on the computer but always had some sort of driver issues and Windows telling me my driver wasn't installed correctly.
Using the official LG driver from the website didn't seem to help either.
OK... I know this thread has gotten old, but here's the final deal... It wasn't "exactly" the USB cables. It WAS the plug. The plug wasn't broken, just very dirty. I cleaned it out with a toothpick and now even the old cord works fine... So if you can't get the computer and phone to recognize each other, try cleaning the micro port in the phone

My issue is that I can't connect to my computer with Windows 8.1 in Download Mode. If I want to flash, I need to find a friend who is using Windows 7. Can anybody help with this?
Other details: I've tried cleaning the ports, using another cable, using other USB connections, etc. When in Download Mode, SDK can't even detect the device. I'm pretty sure it's the fact that I'm using Windows 8.1, but I don't know what to do to fix this problem.
Thanks!

Not sure why you want to put your phone in download mode
If your just trying to connect your phone via USB to mount storage (meaning getting file off the internal storage and sd card), it should work fine.
If your trying to root your phone, you need to grab the android sdk and use the adb commands.

The reason is that my phone is "bricked." I'm caught in a boot loop. The bootloader is locked on my LG phone so I can only get into Download Mode to fix stuff. But I can't fix stuff if my computer doesn't recognize my device. (I can connect fine when my phone boots up properly; just not in Download Mode). I've installed and uninstalled the LG drivers many times, so this is not the issue. What can I do with my Windows 8.1 computer to connect with my phone in Download Mode? Again, I CAN connect to Windows 7 computers, but I don't have one convenient to use, and I don't want to install lots of software on friends' computers...

That is what I would like to be able to do, but it assumes your device is recognized. One of the other posts on the same thread mentioned a similar issue but didn't mention a solution.
I've done some more exploring. I have, again, uninstalled and reinstalled the appropriate LG E970 drivers from the LG support site.
- When I am in fastboot mode, I see the attached image "01 Android.png" in device manager.
- When I am in recovery mode, I see the attached image "02 LG E-970.png" in device manager.
- When my phone fully boots up, I see the attached image "03 LGE Android MTP Device.png" in device manager. At this point, and only at this point, abd will list my phone as a device.
The problem is, I need a connection to my computer from recovery / download mode in case of a boot loop.
Can anyone help?
