I'm trying to root my GT-i9305 which I recently bought. I'm using Odin v3.07, however.. I put my phone in download mode, it doesn't detect my phone. It detects my phone when I have it turned on in the normal mode.
I've downloaded Samsung Kies already and when I go into Device Manager, I find my phone and it says 'Samsung Android Phone' and under that is 'Samsung Android ADB Interface' and the driver for that is up to date.
All Samsung Kies processes are killed and not running, phone is in debugging mode. I've factory reset the phone to see if it had something to do with the phone, but that doesn't seem to work either.
I have looked in the forum and came across this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742426
This guy seemed to have been pressing volume up rather than down and I've done everything that the advice is giving.
What am I doing wrong?
I've fixed this problem, but I have another.. I'll make another thread regarding it..

I think, the download mode and ADB uses different drivers! At least they show different device names.
Did you see anything in hardware manager when you plug the download mode?
And if you are using windows 7, the windows update should automatically install the download driver

same Problem
Hello guys,
I have an S3 I9300, i didn't install kies on my windows 7 64, i already installed the latest samsung drivers (Reboot the phone and the computer), the S3 when is on, windows detect the phone normaly and installed the drivers, the phone is being detected as MTP mode and debug mode and i can transfer data to it.
Into recovery mode the phone also is detected and the drivers installed.
But into download mode nothing happen !!! even windows don't notify there is a new hardware nothing at all, odin doesn't show the yellow case.
i tried rear and front usb plug, orignal cable (it's working on my galaxy S2)
i tried also the debug mode on and off.
wipe data and cache 3 times.
i have the stock rom I9300BUEMC2
sorry for my bad english
Follow the guide in stickies on how to use odin, box turns blue if phone detected. Try another lead or pc if nothing happens.

I have been posting (and have had some nice people try to help) in the How to Recover Fascinate from any Brick thread for about a week and can't seem to find a solution. I have also searched the internet high and low looking for a solution with no success. Hopefully someone here has had the same issues and can point me in the right direction.
I rooted the Fascinate using a one click method and was able to get a Titanium backup but could not get into the proper recovery to do a system image. Stupidly, I flashed SP Recovery from within ROM Manager. From that moment on I when the phone is turned on it gets to the "Samsung" screen and locks.
I did my research and found out all I needed to do to fix is install ODIN and reflash the stock ROM again. The problem is that ODIN will not recognize the phone. I start ODIN, pull the phone battery, plug the phone into USB cable, push volume down to get the phone into download mode (Yellow Triangle). I keep getting USB Device Not Recognized errors from Win 7 (64-bit).
I tried installing Heimdall to load the correct drivers but it doesn't see the device either. I can connect my Droid or Droid 2 and Heimdall sees immediately so I know it is not a problem with the software or cable.
I have tried to install the correct USB drivers (even the ones listed on this site). I tried installing Kies and it doesn't see the phone either.
Since the phone is looping at the "Samsung" screen I can't change any settings in the phone as some have suggested. I really do not have any more ideas other that to use this phone as a very expensive door stop. Hopefully, someone here can help. Thanks in advance!!!

Control Panel/ User Account/ User Account Control settings- set to- Never notify- restart computer.
Should recognize phone. Reset to default when done and restart. Windows crap!
Thanks but this setting has always been set to "Never Notify"......any other ideas...please
I don't know nothing about it but the guy said " reset to default and restart (again)??

Followed the directions exactly. I think the OP wanted me to reset to default after I was done flashing. This is so strange....I figure if the people on XDA can't figure this out the phone is doomed.

I had to use a laptop to access my Fascinate because my desktop wouldnt even show it as unrecognized hardware, it was like it didnt even exist... I went in device manager and uninstalled all my usb devices, rebooted with everything but mouse/kb unplugged, installed SDK drivers for Nexus S, rebooted again (probably not needed but better safe than sorry) and I can now Odin into my phone... Hope this helps ya man... sucks bricking a phone
The Heimdall drivers won't work. Kies won't recognize it if it won't boot. There should be an option in Kies to install the driver. Drop down box in the top left corner. Did you try to install your driver that way?
have you installed the driver yet? samsung driver?
Uh hi.
I'm a herp.
So I may have accidently tried to root and flash my friend's Samsung Vibrant. It was going smoohtly but now, I'm all sorts of messed up.
The problem: I may have used the wrong kernel (zImage) when using heimdall-frontend (which I downloaded from xda). This is causing the phone to power on; it shows the Samsung Galaxy S 4g load screen, then Overstock, then the T-Mo logo sign (with the music), and then a longer Galaxy S load screen. After the load screen, the screen goes completely black, but all the touch buttons light up. Once like this, I can turn it off, and make it go back into recovery mode and also download mode.
Please help. I've been trying to solve this with my friend for about.. 4 hours.
P.S. I've looked up all the guides for using ODIN to get back to JFS, none works due to the reason that when I put it back into download mode, the computer does not recognize it. But it does at the same time. (it shows the "safetly remove hardware" and says that is an "USB mass storage device" ((but does not appear in "My Computer" when in the unresponsive screen-- but when in the download screen, it shows the same thing, only labeled "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device", which also cannot be accessed through "My Computer")
P.P.S. I'm sure it is a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, exclusive from T-Mobile. My computer is Windows Vista 32-bit, and I have as many Samsung drivers as humanly possible when it comes to the Vibrant.
Can anyone help a poor fool?
Try this, get in to download mode, open Odin, then disconnect the usb cable, then reconnect the usb cable and Odin should recognize it then. Good luck!
Using XDA premium, you should be too!

Sorry. That did not work. It just doesn't recognize it in ODIN when in download mode. My computer doesn't even see it. But it does say "Safely Remove Hardware" -- "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device"
Sounds really odd. Do you have any roms you can try reflashing from recovery?

Sounds like you used the wrong odin files. if your screen is showing a galaxy s 4g logo then you must have mistakenly flashed a galaxy s 4g odin/heimdall package. on the back of your phone what is the model number. What on earth is JFS? ive heard of JFD which is the stock firmware that the phone shipped with.
If you flashed the wrong bootloader you are more or less stuck between a rock and a hardplace and will require a jtag. now the fact that teh screen does turn on is a good thing.
You need to keep trying to get it into download mode maybe try using a jig. Once youve gotten it into download mode try every single usb port you can find on your pc. When i need to odin i need to use one of my usb ports on the rear io panel none of the others will work. Once you get odin running and recognizing your device use the files posted in my sig as the odin files. any others and i cant help you cuz i dont know what your source is. Odin should be able to recover your device if it is still booting to the splash screen.
If for whatever reason you cant boot into download mode but can get into recovery here is what you do: make sure you have the android SDK installed (dont know what that is go here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and follow their directions) then open up command prompt while in recovery type the following command: adb reboot bootloader this should put you into download mode. If nothing ive mentioned works you may require a JTAG there is a company called MOBILETECHVIDEOS (http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/) that has a JTAG service.
Good luck
-Cheers

I have uninstalled the older Kies, re installed the latest.
I have installed the lastest odin.
Have tried to link up with and without debugging, odin still does not see phone when in recovery mode.
Only time odin see the phone when phone is in normal mode.
Starting to get annoyed now lol, i cant cut my sim to fit phone, untill this is done
I cant see my s2 on odin either, what am i doing wrong ????
1. Reboot PC
2. Ensure KIES is not running and kill any KIES processes in PC task manager.
3. Download mode
4. Connect USB directly to PC port (no hub)
5. Wait for any drivers to instal or load on PC
6. Start Odin in administrator mode
If still no good;
a) Different USB cable
b) Different PC USB port and wait for drivers

i am having this problem at the mo, I have tried all of the above, apart from a different pc.
oden worked fine with my galaxy s2
is there any more updates on how to sort this out please?

I know this is a 7 day old thread, but I feel for you having been in the same situation. Firstly, have you installed the Android SDK? If not then I advise you to do so. Do a search on how to install the SDK. There maybe smaller downloads available with a package of the binaries you need to do some testing i.e. adb. The instructions will elaborate about how to set up your Environment settings in Windows. Essentially ADB needs to be called from within any part of your Windows system....or else you will have to cd to its location each and every time you want to do something like this. So once you have done that, open command prompt and type adb and see what comes up? If it says bad command or file name it means your environment settings for the ASK are incorrect, if it displays the adb help text in command prompt you are ready to proceed.
When you plug your device in (not in DL or recovery modes) is it detected by the PC? If so then your drivers are probably fine. If not then it maybe 1 of 2 things? 1 the device is detected but the MTP drivers have not been loaded or 2. No detection what so ever and all drivers need to be installed.
To determine how to proceed you will need to do a bit of investigating.
Note the USB drivers are included as part of the Android SDK.
Check in Device manager inside of Windows to see if anything is detected when you plug it in. If so but it has a yellow exclamation ! then it would indicate you need to update your drivers (but not always?). From here you can test to see if the phone is detected and you only need MTP drivers.
If not then I would suggest uninstalling Keis all together and downloading and installing the Samsung USB drivers separately. Install the drivers. Plug in the phone. If it is not detected straight away, then reboot the PC then plug the phone into a different USB port. From here you can determine how to proceed by using adb.
plug your phone in via USB and open command prompt and type this: adb devices
You should see 1 of 2 things.
1) The words "list of devices attached" followed by a 16 digit long ID number a gap and the word "device"
2) just the words "list of devices attached" and then blank and nothing else?
If a device ID is returned then you can proceed with the following. Otherwise you need to do some additional trouble shooting
Proceed here:
Once it is detected by Windows and shows up in Explorer then unplug the phone and go into settings and developer options and check enable USB debugging. Once you have done this it should allow your device to be seen in DL and recovery modes.
Troubleshoot: If not detected try the following:
1) Reboot the PC and plug into a new USB port that you have not previously plugged into.
2) Try disabling USB debugging plugging the device in and then unplugging it and reenabling USB debugging
3) From the status bar try switching modes between MTP and PTP modes. Wait a good minute or so between to allow Windows to detect the driver change. Tip a good indication is your notification tray Icon with green USB disk with a magnifying glass swirling around....Note if you cannot see this at all you probably should drag it into the notification panel so that you CAN!
4) Open up device manager again and ensure no yellow exclamation marks !
Once all this is right and you can get List of devices attached followed by an ID number then you can for sure be able to detect your device from Odin. Make sure you are running Odin 3.04, run it as admin (not necessary but have heard that it helps?)
Good luck

You can try with minimal/no drivers i.e. uninstall kies if you have it and delete the drivers you might have installed on your own-it sounds counter productive but it has worked for me a few times.
You can also try to either install kies or the drivers separately.
Try the forum for your own phone, the people there might know better about this problem.
Also what OS are you on?

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..

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...

Driver issue. Find the correct drivers.
Beamed in by telepathy.
I just bought a new S3 GT-I9300 running ICS. And I'm a noob in this.
The problem is I can't root my phone. I followed the steps from here - AndroidNZ and then I stuck on step 8 and above. I also already tried the Chainfire method but still stuck when I want to put my phone in Download Mode.
Whenever I press the 3 button (VolumeDown + Home + Power), I ended up in the android system recovery <3e> screen (with the little green android guy and exclamation mark on it). Then, when I connect the usb cable, it said 'usb not recognized'. And, nothing was detected on Odin.
I don't know what to do anymore. Please help.
p/s: And I already installed Kies in my comp with USB debugging enabled in my S3.

Whenever I press the 3 button (VolumeDown + Home + Power), I ended up in the android system recovery <3e> screen (with the little green android guy and exclamation mark on it). Then, when I connect the usb cable, it said 'usb not recognized'. And, nothing was detected on Odin.
I don't know what to do anymore. Please help.
p/s: And I already installed Kies in my comp with USB debugging enabled in my S3.

Make sure you have KIES NOT running as it does not run well with Odin, also look into the task manager and close all KIES processes!
Also make sure you installed the USB drivers (should have been installed with KIES but you never know), you can get them again in the stickes in General section.
Go into the Download mode as instructed, connect the phone via USB and Odin should find it. After that follow the instructions.
btw: there are also easy guides on YouTube that will show you each step.
