I honestly have been searching the internet and this forum for the last 2 days, and have found NO solutions for this problem.
In short, i am on villainrom v3.0. And i want to upgrade to ICS.
It is apparently officially available via kies because i have an unbranded handset. I plug it into my pc, and kies doesnt detect any firmware updates at all. So i decided to try and flash the ics rom using odin.
I did everything. Odin detects my phone when it is on. But as soon as i put it in download mode to try and flash ICS, odin does not detect it. AT ALL. When its in download mode, and i plug it in, in the bottom right corner a pop up says ''USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED''. Again, i'm sure i have the drivers for it because Kies detects my phone when USB debugging is off. And Odin detects my phone when my phone is on and debugging is on.
- I've tried it on 3 different pc's.
- The phone is definitely in USB debugging mode
- tried 2 different usb cables
- flashed different roms (using CWM)
- Drivers are definitely installed because odin detects the phone when its on, just not when its in download mode
- Kies is definitely closed when odin is running
I dont know what to do. its doing my head in.
Any help would be appreciated!

No you have a non official rom = no Kies update ever .

Since you already have root, you can always flash using Mobile Odin ensuring you use a CF-root kernel in the process. I won't elaborate further as you're clearly well versed in searching and digesting the entire internet.

i know that.
you dont think i've spent hours reading through them!? I havent found a solution yet, which is why i started this thread.
How about you just tell me what you think the problem is instead of wasting both our times with posts like that
This is not going to end well after that last post :-|

yea i can see that.
forget it. i'll just have to carry on searching by myself and try every possible solution a hundred times until it works.
Thanks anyways everyone.
Hope no1 is offended.
I did tell you two common reasons .
There are as posted other reasons
Like no USB drivers or broken drivers .
Phone firmware faulty .
USB port faulty .
Wrong firmware downloaded .
Firmware in the wrong format#
Firmware in the wrong section of Odin .
But no one single this is what's wrong with your ODIN/USB connection .
Might even be worth trying the posted Samsung USB drivers supposed to be for ICS .
jje
if youv used 3 pc's and done it urself it means 2 things....
1: ur phone is faulty [i doubt it]
2: ur doing it wrong [drivers that is]
if ur phone install drivers while on, that means usb is working. you have to install correct drivers when in download mode, thats when odin works.
hope your doing that in download mode, iv seen ppl tring odin while phone was normally booted
My phone won't seem to connect to my PC and Mac, The only other time it connected was when I had MIUI, I recently flashed AOKP ICS ROM from Task, but I can't seem to connect to my PC for File transfers, I have airdroid but sometimes I might not have wifi,
Help me Please
If this thread was already made Sorry about that
You need an app for that

Which app would that be?
It should be under "my computer", listed as a phone instead of a drive, atleast for windows, don't know bout macs. You have drivers installed, correct?

Yeah so i'm not sure which has the drivers needed, only that it's something i obviously installed a while ago since i haven't installed anything new lately on my PC. I've got Kies installed (never really use, but it has some sort of drivers i think), i've got Android SDK tools (again, might contain some drivers), and i believe i downloaded the drivers via the samsung site as well.
The one thing i do notice is that it shows up as "GT-I9100" instead of our model under My Computer. So perhaps the drivers for the i9100 need to be installed as well?
Sorry, wish i had a more concrete answer for ya . does anything show up under your computer's device manager when the phone is plugged in? (likely something with a question mark next to it)

It shows up as unrecognized device, and it always says it malfunctioned, it has never worked even when I had the original samsung rom
I was kind of having the same thing happen. Computer wouldnt see my phone. Did a little research and came up with this. I deleted KIES (from what I read on here somewhere LOL) and did a search for this( used bing.com)...Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones v1.4.8.0 After I loaded that everything went back to normal. Took me awhile to find that info but now Im glad I did!! Hope this helps!!
Try uninstalling Samsung drivers, reboot, and installing it again. Also be sure that the USB port is functioning. It sometimes could be the USB cable (HTC USB cable doesn't work very well with my i777 whereas Motorola's USB cable works great).
Heres the app you need
Ok so I have this strange problem on my s3. For a while I haven't been able to use my desktop pc due to space issues at home and have been using a laptop and all was well. I have eventually managed to squeeze out space for my desktop and am now having a strange problem. If i plug my s3 in its recognised as a media device in my computer as normal, but nothing triggers in kies at all. Like nothing. I dont even get an error message or an attempt at connection when in kies. But, it works fine still with the kes on my laptop? Any ideas? The one on my desktop has been reinstalled along with the drivers several times and I cannot figure out why its still not working.
Any helps really appreciated!

Sounds like OS problem. Please provide more information. Which ROM, which OS on PC, did it work before, etc....?
You might try a LiveCD (Ubuntu, Knoppix, ...) and connect your phone as USB mass storage device.
Im on stock ics i got it today..
Stock ICS does not support USB mass storage anymore like Gingerbread did, even if USB debugging is enabled in developer options.
To regain this feature you need a custom kernel (Siyah or Dorimanx). I also ran into that issue last week...:silly:
If MTP or PTP don't work either you might try to uninstall KIES, reboot PC, and the reinstall it again. Also connect your phone to a different USB port.

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.

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.

This gonna sound CRAZY but I'l give it a try , maybe I reformat my pc and try again ? :3

Don't do that just yet. That's a little drastic. Read my edit to my PP first.

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.
