I bought a refurbished galaxy s2 and in the start everything went fine until i flashed CM 10.1
After that rom the pc was unable to detect phone via usb.
So then i did a factory reset from the rom and not from CWM and after that the phone is stuck at the boot logo i.e. samsung galaxy s2 i9100 and a yellow triangle and would not go further. And when it is powered off and i connect it to charger a battery appears with circular loading sign and it wont go past after that.
The phone does not go in recovery mode. just gets stuck at the logo with triangle(yellow).
I turned phone on in download mode and connected to pc but it was not detected by odin or even pc.
I have all the drivers correctly installed.
Things I have tried:
1. Changed the USB cables, tried 5 different computers but still no luck.
2. Removed the drivers completely and reinstalled but still no luck.
3. Cleaned the USB port of phone but no luck.
4. Tried connecting to different ports of pc but still no luck.
Now I cannot go to service center because it has no warranty and it was refurbished so.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.
I am willing to repair it myself if anyone could guide me about the hardware problem.
I also have a Nexus S which is connecting to every single PC easily and in every port of PC but S2 just wont.
did you try accessing CWM Recovery mode?
Nope the phone does not boot in recovery mode

It's about troubleshooting, kinda what you're going thru.

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.

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..

Maybe solved it
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...

Are you using the original Samsung USB cable when the phone is in download mode?

Driver issue. Find the correct drivers.

Hi there,
I tried to flash CM 10.1 on my friend's Samsung Galaxy SII I9100G. I followed the Tutorial from the CM's wiki, but it didn't worked because I got errors from Heimdall. After a few minutes with google I tried Odin and it worked without any Problems. After flashing cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100g-M2.zip and related gapps the phone was stuck in a bootloop. After 10 minutes I pulled out the battery and plugged it back in. Since then, the phone always booted into recovery automatically. And I'm able to boot into download mode aswell.
But the phone isn't recognized by Odin or any other tool. I've reinstalled the samsung phone drivers serveral times. I tried it with Kies, without Kies, with driver packages from XDA.. Nothing worked. If I remove the battery and hold Vol Down+Home+Power while plugging in the USB cable my PC recognizes some devices but cannot install the driver because after 2 seconds the devices is unplugged again.
I think the battery is too low to establish a USB connection. I will charge the battery tomorrow at work and give it another try.
Any advice for the whole problem? Is it all related to the low battery?
Kind regards

Clean uninstall Kies (your uninstaller pro or similar), then reinstall.
Got a laptop laying around? Try that instead.

A clean reinstall of Kies didn't helped.. Even it isn't recognized on another PC. Because I can access recovery mode (CWM) and download mode I guess it's no brick.. just an driver issue?! I tried several USB Ports and USB cables.. nothing helped..
Can it be caused by a wrong kernel? Is it possible to flash a kernel with CWM?
Of course, flash the zip version of the kernel.
Make sure it's neant for I9100G

Even after flashing another kernel the phone boots directly into recovery..
After trying several ROMs and Kernels I guess it's a bootloader failure.. Because there is no possibillity to flash a new bootloader via CWM and I get no USB connection, I am screwed... =/
No you are not, keep trying.
Other(s) PC might do the trick.
Also get a couple of Odin versions.
Get new cables, genuine s2s that is.
And keep reinstalling kies.
I tried it with another USB cable and connected the phone without the battery. Now I get a "OMAP4430" Device in the device manager which disappears after 2 seconds and reappers 5 seconds later and after 2 seconds it's gone again.. Why the processor is recognized by my PC and not the smartphone itself?!
I will try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701471&page=3

Hi All,
I am having an issue with my S4 that when I plug them into my computer I get USB device not recognized. I have searched the forum for the past 2 days trying all kinds of different solutions the major one was changing my USB/charging port board on my phone.
I need to ODIN my device to an MJ7 image. At first I got the error and did a factory reset through safestrap recover. Still got the error so I did an advance wipe of every option. (Looking back shouldnt have done that) That took away my recovery, but I can get to download mode, but its not detected by my computer to use ODIN with. So I am stuck without a custom recovery without the ability to boot into anything.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Reinstall/uninstall drivers, reinstall/uninstall kies.
2. Changed USB ports on computer.
3. Changed USB cables
4. Changed computers from Win 8 x64 to Win 7 x64.
5. Changed computer to my MACbook using Heimdall.
6. Changed USB charging port board on my phone.
7. Tried everything again. *Still doesnt detect it*
Any ideas that I havent done already, or how to fix? I do have nandroid backup of my ROM, but dont have a custom recovery to flash it.
Cant ODIN back cause its not detected by my computer. Thanks in advance for your help.
Is USB debugging still checked on phone? You must use the USB cable provided with phone...
safestrap enabled, Hyperdrive driven
Thanks for the reply. I cant select USB debug on my phone because my phone does not boot into the main OS, it is stuck at the samsung custom padlock screen. The USB debug option was on when the OS was installed though. My phone will only boot into stock recovery and into download mode. I tried to use the original USB cable provided with the phone as I read this could be the problem, but I tried 4 other ones too and phone still gets detected as "Unknown Device" in device manager, so ODIN cant even see phone in download mode to restore. I have tried to install KIES and the Samsung Mobile phone drivers 1.5.x.x drivers. Just read somewhere where someone had this issue and installed Samsung mobile phone driver v1-4-6-0 so I am trying that now.

Tried Samsung Mobile phone drivers version 1.4.6.0 and still the same outcome "USB device not recognized". I went down to a local electronics store and bought two different brand microUSB data cables. Tried them both along with my original one from samsung, and still the same result. Any other ideas??
Anyone else have any ideas? Thinking of sending it in and having it JTAG'ed back to stock. Can anyone recommend any services? Heard mobiletechvideos is good.

I tried flashing CWM recovery onto my AT&T Galaxy S4 and because my phone does not connect to my computer via USB for some reason (the phone charges and my computer recognizes that there's a device in, but I cannot actually do anything with it) I flashed it with Flashify. I rebooted into recovery mode, and I got slapped with the "Unauthorized software has been detected on your phone!" message. So I tried rebooting, and I got stuck in a recovery mode bootloop with the same message. Eventually, I realized if I just go into download mode and reboot by pressing the volume down key, it doesn't try to go into recovery mode. I have already endlessly researched my USB problem, and yes, I DO have USB debugging on. ODIN recognizes that I have an external device in as well, but I haven't tried flashing anything onto my phone with it because I don't want to brick my phone because the connection to my PC is faulty. I'm using the charger that came with the device as my USB drive, so that's not faulty either. I know rooting my phone did this, and I'm pretty sure it's because I missed a step. I used this tutorial to root my phone:
[droid views dot com] /root-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-android-4-4-4-kitkat-firmware-i337ucufnj4/ (I'm not allowed to post links yet, so fix the URL if you're gonna have a look)
When I flashed the I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel, my phone refused to go into download mode and I couldn't flash the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel as a result. I'm pretty sure that's what caused it, but I have no idea how to fix it. I'm not an expert with my phone and, despite almost soft-bricking my phone via a corrupt CWM .zip, I'm not a newbie at this either. If I could figure out how to fix this problem, I wouldn't have to worry about throwing myself into a bootloop because I can just use ODIN. I was a sitting duck before download mode rescued me, so I'd like some help as to how I can accomplish this. Any and all help is appreciated. I am 100% certain my device is the right version for that tutorial, I wouldn't try to root my phone without checking all of the simple things first.
Hi everyone,
I have an SII GT- I9100 that I installed a custom ROM on a while back (probably 2 years ago). After a while it got badly bricked I don't remember what happened, and not only that
the charging port was also messed up so I couldn't connect it to my pc (pc wouldn't recognize it unless I held the cable in with force, but even that didn't work after some time).
It's been sitting on a shelf for about a year and I decided to buy a new charging port, replace it, unbrick it and give it to my mom.
I did replace it and I can connect it to my pc now but there's still issues. On my main windows 10 pc it gives me an error "USB device not recognized, the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". (I've reinstalled usb drivers and troubleshooted with Kies).
I keep the phone in download mode while I am trying to connect it to my pc since I can't boot into anything (I have a yellow triangle and Samsung logo if I don't go into download mode).
On my laptop (win 7) I've managed to get windows to install all the drivers(even though it failed a couple times ?), I've also troubleshooted with Kies, still Kies can't connect to it.
I want to restore it to stock ROM but I haven't been successful.
I've tried many different Odin versions, nothing.
I've been trying a stock ROM for the country and network I think it was on(I don't know it for sure, could this be an issue ?), and a set of CSC, MODEM and CODE XXLSJ files.
In all the Odin versions I've tried it gets stuck on NAND write start !! what's going on here?
Is it beyond repair?
btw. I can't get into recovery mode just DL mode.
Thanks in advance!
