Have you uninstalled the driver that installs when you plu the phone in and replacing it with the drivers for our phones that are available in droidstyles thread?
Also you need to try different USB cords, some will not work with out devices for some reason. Also try different ports on the computer, note that they have to be 2.0 ports and not 3.0 ports.

Hello all,
My co-worker attempted to flash a rom onto his Vibrant today and the problem he is having is that it boots the Samsung and Vibrant logos and the lcd has crazy lines and also makes squeaky sounds. I read up on Odin3 v1.00/TAR/PIT files and here is the problem that I am encountering.
I installed the drivers (32 bit on the desktop XP)
Odin it running with TAR and PIT files selected and ready to go.
I first plugged the USB into the desktop and phone while the battery is removed, and then hold the volume buttons. Once the battery is inserted I instantly get the "Downloading" mode with the digging Android.
Now XP first was installing the drivers as it should, then it has the phone as a unknown device. So Odin can't recognize the COM to flash the phone.
What are the options in this scenario?
Thank you.
Make sure to run odin as an admin (right click>run as admin) if you're using xp. It wouldn't work for me unless I did that.

I ran as admin. Odin isn't the problem the problem is the phone/windows not recognized the usb even though drivers are installed
Try the program in the development section.
How is another program going to solve windows not recognizing the damn phone?

yes this and get Odin 1.7 or higher 1.0 and 1.3 have compatibility problems
Follow the info in the Noob post in the Gen Section by S15274N
Or you can do a search on how to do on youtube there are some very good Videos that will help you.......
Good Luck
you need to download the All In One Toolbox (AIO toolbox) in the Development section and install the drivers that come in that program..its actually a button on the program UI that says "install drivers" the drivers found by windows automatically aren't the ones needed by Odin. That program actually walks you through Odin.
::thanks?::
After installing AIO same issues, prior to download mode it recognizes the phone and then as soon as I reboot into downloading mod it can't recognize the USB.
Any other ideas?

What ROM is your co-worker coming from? If it was CM7 or one of the 2.3.3 Roms, then you will need the Nexus S drivers installed on the pc for Odin to recognize the phone in DL mode.
There is the toolbox

Br1cK'd answered your question, he was on a 2.3.3 rom
you're using the wrong drivers
Yep that'll do it. Grab the Nexus S drivers from their forums, and you should be able to flash odin.

As in the nexus one drivers?
Sorry for being such a noob, this samsung isn't as easy as my cm7 mt3gs
No, not nexus one, the nexus s, different model. There's a nexus s forum here at xda. The drivers are in their dev section. I'd link you to it, but I'm on my phone, and its a p.i.t.a. from the phone.

Whenever you have the chance can you link me the drivers? I've been looking high and low and most drivers I found need the phone to be in fastboot which is nice and all but can't install a driver on a unknown device.
Let me correct my previous statement, its been a little while since I flashed a 2.3 rom, but I am fairly certain the driver files you need are part of the android 2.3 sdk. If you don't have it, you'll have to dl it, unless someone can post them for you. I won't be at a pc until tomorrow at the earliest.

So I downloaded the 2.3SDK tools and when its at the green battery charging all is well but as soon as downloading mode gets put on its an unknown device
man your coworker is doomed.... when pc doesnt recognize the phone and you install the drivers.... Phone's usb port is not working.... That happened to my vibrant 2 weeks ago... I sended to samsung waiting for their answer.....
I might have missed the perfect advice in searching here and there, but I couldn't find it, so I'm asking here.
I tried applying a nightly build for Cyanogen for Vibrant and now the phone is basically bricked.
It starts up, shows the Vibrant logo, brightens a bit, then shows a screen that in a second or two fills with random color noise, then restarts. This cycle repeats until I pop out the battery.
My model apparently won't respond to vol/power keypress combos to activate recovery or download mode so that was out.
I bought a microUSB jig and was able to get in download mode but ODIN doesn't ever recognize it.
I tried the adbtool to send it into recovery but it doesn't see the phone either.
I tried the AIO Vibrant Toolbox to reinstall drivers/odin/etc and it didn't help.
Finally just watching device manager seems to indicate that plugging it in and out doesn't absolutely nothing. Windows XP never sees a connection. I tried on a Windows 7 machine with similar results.
Any suggestions? Out of warranty so that means no replacement.
Thanks.

Since you flashed cm7 you will need to install the Nexus S drivers. The regular Vibrant drivers will not work so that is likely why ODIN wont recognize the device. If you can get into download mode you shouldn't be hard bricked. Here is a link to download the Nexus S drivers (I believe this is the one I used)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8116690/Nexus S drivers.zip you might have to manually install this.

This. If you are able to enter into Download Mode, you aren't bricked (unless you have a really really really bad luck).
This was extracted from the CM7 Q&A Thread on the Q&A section:

Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?
A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"
Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you isntalled the SDK

Also, if the above fails, the member connexion2005 offers unbrick services, and he seems to be good at it, he have a website and everything, just shot me a PM if you need the link to the website.

Djluis, Good write up and assist...........
Thanks - I did try the above but when my phone is connected via USB the computer doesn't react at all. It's like I haven't plugged anything in. My other phone, a Nexus One, is recognized though.
Any ideas on how to force the install of these drivers before I have to pay connexion2005 for his services?
Thanks.

Uninstall Samsung drivers, reboot PC, install drivers from aio box found in sticky thread or from samsung website. It should work. Also try heimdall if odin still doesn't work.

Tried the uninstall - no luck.
One issue... I'm not sure that USB Debugging Mode was selected before this all started. Could that be my problem?
Kermit Woodall
Hi,
try a different usb port and different usb cable
No luck. I suspect that this unit has a slightly bad USB port as well. Fortunately unbricking is affordable so that's what I'll have to do.
Thanks everyone for your advice.

go to best buy, get a blackberry or HTC usb cord. most if the "bad" usb ports are the sh*T%y korean cords ( not knocking the people, just the company )
Thanks - I actually tried several USB cables - including some HTC and a Motorola one. None worked w/the phone - but worked fine with any other phone.

I was running stock rooted and everything was fine, then i used odin to install jelly beans buid 1 and now my PC doesn't recognize my phone, i have the driver installed and everything but in device manager shows it but with a yellow triangle. the phone is running fine, what could be blocking my phone from being recongized?
i flashed beans rom this morning and it fine for me. are you checking the box that says media device? its not checked by default.

What version of Windows are you using?
Have you restarted your computer?
Do you "Safely remove USB Devices" instead of pulling them out without waiting?

Hey my friends. I just got the note 2 sch-i605 4.1.2 which is Verizon. Viewed many threads on here how to root. However casual does not work for me. Casual cant seem to link up with the device drivers on my win 7 laptop. My Sammy also wont work on XP period. I have the latest usb drivers and download drivers. No matter using win 7 laptop, all drivers are loaded and ready to go. I can put the phone in download mode and Odin connects to it just fine. Ive rooted many phones like the fascinate, charge, etc. without problems. All I want is root access, stock ROM is fine for me so I don't need to unlock the boot loader. Do I need to goto 4.1.1 first then use root66 to get root with a stock ROM. Viewed a few threads on this and cant seem to find a stock 4.1.2 with root. Also Im used to using the PDA function in Odin and not the PIT function, what is the difference between the 2? Also most of the threads Ive read have auto reboot and f reset checked. Not sure about those either. So if anyone has a way for me to connect my Note 2 to XP, even to transfer pics, etc, it would be greatly appreciated. And yes I know I can use kiess to transfer files to my win XP with no problem. Im talking through the USB cable. And yes Ive tried other cables, ports, etc, and turned off computer and phone. And the big question, what file and settings in Odin do I need to gain root access only and keep the stock Sammy ROM, ie, locked boot loader? I only need root, nothing else. Thanks for any help on this matter. This is the best site for all things root and Ive used it many times, great job to all the devs out there.
Did you restart your computer before doing this?

May not work for you, but I had to disable visual styles on my win 7 to get casual to work. In other words, I used the classic theme on my computer and disabled all animations, don't know why it worked, but it did.
