Just to clarify, a usb port is the slot on your pc that you actually plug your usb cable into. Usb drivers are what you downloaded.Try running odin as administrator and use a different usb port on your pc. Odin can be tricky sometimes, give it a couple more tries.

ODIN does NOT recognize my Droid Charge
Fist of all let me tell you what I have done to resolve this on my own:
Uninstalled/Re-installed the drivers for the Droid Charge
Put device into USB Debugging mode
Unknown sources are checked
Power cycled
Uninstalled/re-installed ODIN
Tried different pc's (all Windows)
Tried different USB ports on all of the pc's I have used
Factory reset on the device
I have read blogs that other people are having this same issue, suggested those troubleshooting steps, they did not work for others but hey I might get lucky right? And this is still a no go, so could someone PLEASE provide me with the correct troubleshooting steps to take to resolve this?

USB Not recognizing on any PC

Hi,
I have a galaxy s II i bought about 8 months ago in germany, It worked great with 0 issues, ive moved sevrel roms and never had a single issue.
last week I updated to the JB preview CM10, MTP worked fine when I connected it to my PC and I had no issues other then the occasional reset.
anyway, this Friday I was using it as a modem, USB tethering, when suddenly it stopped working, I unplugged it, tried another port and I get unknown USB device, I thought maybe it was just a temp issue, but I reset, re-installed drivers, and still nothing, my PC runs windows 7 64 bit, I tried at work with multiple cables and windows xp on multiple PC's, also tried ubuntu, nothing...
I tried that USB code thing i think its *#2738# something like that to switch between modem mode to USB and still nothing...
weird thing is it charges fine, the connection seems to be good and its not loose... im starting to think it got static or something cuz in my days as a PC tech I saw this happen many times with USB Flash drives, the contacts would get static and they would go...
any ideas?
P.S I tried re-installing kies, and nothing...
any help would be great! thanks!

I would try on another PC first. If it works, the phone is fine so far and there is something wrong with the PC.
I have same problem. I almost tried everything (uninstall and reinstall usb drivers and kies, uncheck usb debug, different pc or cable, reinstalled firmware...) but none of them worked

How bout trying a different usb cable..
1: Try Different Pc
2: Try Different Usb Port
3: Try Different Usb Cable
4: Uninstall kies and all othe pc suites and also drivers reboot and install these drivers and check if it connects
DRIVERS
If these dosin resolve then i dobt its a prob with with ur Motherboard or the Usb port
Put your phone into download mode.. Flash a official ROM by using Odin..

I've tried all the above suggestions, 4 cables, 4 PC's, 4 OS's, Uninstalling and reinstalling on varoius computers (drivers and kies), samsung codes on the phone to switch from pda to modem and back to pda, flashing stock rom, formatting all cache and data... Im looking if there is some advance trick im missing, I think we can all agree that this is not an external factor like cable or computer, its like my data contacts on the socket are dead and only the charging is working.... has anyone ever heard of this? or maybe there is something on the phone that I can flash that i havent that doesnt get flashed during wipe, stock format?
the annoying thing is this phone was bought in germany and i live in israel and there is no warrenty here, it means I have to wait for someone to go there to fix it...
I mean for now I can copy stuff using a micro-sd adapter but its super annoying!
if anyone has an advanced trick that worked for them it would be amazing! if not ill just have to accept my fate

then it can b a hardware issue .. either usb port issue or a motherboard issue
u can try changin ur usb port ... u can order 1 from ebay and fix it urself ..
I've had the same issue but because of water damage
on another note, Try cleaning your port with a soft tooth brush.
YES!!!
Fixed it! it was so stupid yet no way of knowing,
so i almost ordered the flex cable but said I'd clean the inside first to make sure its not the issue, I opened the back case and while cleaning I noticed a ribben was loose, lol, i just popped it back into place and walla, worked like new!
thanks for all your help, my phone is back to working great

problems with jb stock rom galaxy s 2

I put a stock sammobile I9100 xwlse 4.1.2 jelly bean rom on my Galaxy s2 worked fine for 2 days now I have problems charging the phone saying after half an hour its charged when its not also windows 7 will not reconise the device anymore tried factory reset still no joy even when I unplug the charger or plug it in its go's slower to start charging or stop chargeing its annouying the hell out of me tried on windows to uninstall the drivers and reintsall to no avail any ideas
Ok first of all, punctuation - use it.
About the battery problem, it seems like it's out of "sync", you should let it from exactly 0 to exactly 100. That should fix it.
About the not recognizing, have you tried different USB port on the PC? Tried on another PC? Tried with another phone? Tried with a different USB cable?
You have many options, now go try them.

I am having a similar issue, when I plug my phone into a windows PC through USB the MTP driver is buggy, have to reconnect and change to media device a few times until it installs, and then the issue afterwards will be the phone will seem as if it is being plugged and unplugged multiple times after its been disconnected (usually when I have media player running too) ... this issue was non-existant before the software update so I'm sure its gotta be an issue.

The thing is that it doesn't make any sense
You are not rooted are you?
Your usb flex must be dusty/busted.
Nope not rooted tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling even tried Keis not a thing I get error code 43 on my pc even though the drivers are there it says usb device not reconised so for some reason which is doing my head in I cannot get it to connect with my pc on windows 7 also tried it on another computer with XP on and get the same problem tried driffrent usb ports and usb leads as well
Error 43 is a start.
Disable the antivirus and don't install the drivers, install kies.
Try a laptop.

[Q] Soft Bricked my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus GT-I9105P and I'm a noob

So I soft bricked my S II plus and I when tried to access ODIN to flash an official ROM , ODIN doesnt detect it , i've tried installing all the drivers ,changing USB cables and even pc's still it doesn't work , I got a fried to bring his S III to test with my pc and ODIN doesnt register even his device .
is there any way i can flash to stock ROM and just turn everything back to normal using CWM ? I just dont wanna root my phone no mpre
There was a reply to a thread in Q&A a couple of hours ago where someone listed the troubleshooting steps for when 'Odin doesn't work'. Search for that thread (skim similar threads in Q&A over the past 12 hrs or so), go through the steps.

Pretty sure it was Immortalneo, so have a look at his posts specifically; should help you to narrow it down a bit.

Nothing seems to be working to get ODIN to detect it :/
I tried to flash ROM with CWM it just says "(bad)"
If you've tried everything (and I mean everything. Not 2 or 3 things) including trying with different PC's, without a screenshot/pic of the Odin output we'd have absolutely no idea why it's failing. However, if you'd care to give us a pic/screenshot of the Odin output when you try & flash, maybe we can figure out why.

well sorry for being a noob :/ but is this what your asking for?
Well vick...that is Download mode...

I would have thought my post was pretty clear. You're obviously out of your depth & shouldn't be messing with your phone. What we need is a pic/screenshot of the Odin screen from your PC when it's failing like this
I just got too excited when everyone was rooting their phones , shouldn't have done it at all :/
My problem is no (yellow bar) is coming out from odin when i plug in download mode at first it could but after i formatted my phone from CWM it couldnt detect anymore , and I tried with two other laptops and even a different cable
Im so sorry to take up your time :/
(ODIN just looks like normal when i plug everything in :S)
OK. I thought Odin could detect OK but the flash was failing at that stage. So you still can't get the phone & PC to recognise each other given everything you've tried.
Honestly, I can't think of anything else you can do. I'd suggest you keep trying tho. Not a lot else you can do beyond that (Unless there's something really simple/obvious we're all missing here).
Edit -Right. List everything, and I mean everything you've tried to try and get the phone & PC to recognise each other/get Odin to work. Every single little step. Details. The more details you provide, the better the chance you get your phone fixed. The less details you provide, the less likely that is to happen.

Ok , I have tried
-Installing Kies , samsung Usb drivers and every driver i could fine for samsung (ADB)
- I tried both ODIN v1.85 ,3.04
-different USB cables
-Diferent pc's (2 laptops)
-Friends S III ( sadly even his wasn't detected)
-Formatting every single option there was in CWM
-tried flashing using CWM (failed with installation aborted *bad*)
- I even ended Kies processor before running ODIN
- windows update
You missed:-
Different USB ports (and different USB ports on different PC's - you must use a 'mainboard' port, if you don't know what it is, Google it).
Try Odin V1.3
Have you used the USB cable that came with the phone ? Uninstall Kies. Reboot. Redownload Kies from Samsung website. Reinstall. Reboot. Run Odin as administrator in Windows (R-click the Odin .exe & choose 'run as administrator').
That's all I got given it's almost 3.30am here.

There, your friend's SIII wasn't recognised. You wanna pay a friend a visit to use his/her pc with no kies pre-installed. You go and get it's latest version and repeat all steps.
When you say "kies processor" you mean one kies application running or all 4 that there are actually running?
Sent from the little guy
Well now I have reinstalled Kies , but this time when i plug the usb be in , I can hear my pc detecting it but ( Mobile USB Modem 1.0) fails to install in windows update .
and i've tried with my 2 other laptops without kies installed
oh and I end task for KiesPDLR.exe (said by someone in a post here in Xda)
Are you hitting 'end process tree' when you close Kies in Windoze Task Manager ? It's important anything associated w/Kies is closed, not just the main application.

I think I broke 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?

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.
