I think yes, but i am not absollutely sure. If i connect any other Samsung mobile it connect immediately. Could you post the link for drivers? I want to make sure that i have rights drivers.

[Q] Download mode first time starts a download. Normal?

When i first got my phone back from repair i wanted to use download mode to put the CWM in and flash it. But when i first did it it started a download process is it normal?
2.3.6
What download process exactly?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
In the middle
" Downloading ....
Do not turn off target"
It has some writing on the top left too would you like to know what it says?
nothing is downlading...it by default shows like that...when you start download from ODIN you can see the WRITING PROCESS TIMELINE under that logo
Could you please elaborate how do you put the CWM in while on the Download mode
Yep, as above. That is download mode. Now your try to connect to Odin (kill lies first). Edit: kies not lies (stupid Swype)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Oh Im just following these instructions.
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
Im sorry its just my first time doing anything like this xD
yes instruction is correct,
Make sure dirvers are installed, Kies to be killed,
once you connected the phone to PC (connect to mother board USB socket backside)
the ID:COM box will be highlighted in yellow, and in the message box you can see "added"
Good luck...
Do you kill kies first then go into download mode?

Odin must identify your phone first like said above..
uninstall the Kies, download the latest version from Samsung install after a PC reboot, after install reboot PC, (kill means not unistall, close the applicaion, also check in your system tray)

Ensure USB debugging is on (checked) on settings first so Odin well recognise.

if you have successfully flashed correct CF-root from ODIN, thats it, next is your duty to google for rooted applications.....
@ UpInTheAir : for my knowledge if I am not correct,
Download mod itself is a debugging mode, not essenstial to do it from Menu...
the people who did not enable the debugging mod and bricked the phone or stuck on boot logo have been flashing ROMs by enterin into download mod without any treble...
@ZACQ8
Thanks i installed a custom rom now and its working fine and dandy.
One last question. Could you point me to where i can find how to check flash counter and reset it? and re flashing stock roms increase flash counter? or really how do i get everything ready so i can return my phone to repair if the time calls?

to reset counter you need a Jig and old bootloader to flash, if the current one is new...
I will just borrow Mistahbungle's posts here dont forget to thank him..

wierd logo showing up on galaxy player 4.0 usa

hello people.
i was trying to flash the kernel from ics 4.0.4 . first i connected it to the computer to flash it from odin. the green thing that was supposed to show up in odin didnt show up. me being dumb, i clicked start on odin for the heck of it. on odin it said fail. on my player there was this weird symbol.
i tried taking out the bettery and then i waited a few seconds. then i turned it on and the same symbol was there. i also tried going into download mode but when i tried it just showed the weird symbol and then turned black and again and again. i also tried going in to recovery which also did the same kind of thing. (bootlooping) . so has anyone experienced this before.
device info:
samsung galaxy player 4.0 (usa version)
terrasilent kernel
rooted
running icyfusion.
any help would be apperciated!
Its basically the same thing as the Download Mode sign. Don't worry about the awkward symbol, just means you are in download mode

He said that it's the same as download mode. For your information this mode is a forced download mode which means that you need to flash something to get over it. In this case a new kernel.

Try these:
1. Be sure to have anything Kies related not running [as a process] in the background (Task Manager alt+ctrl+delete on your computer)
2. Restart your computer and try the same usb port again (Kies process closed again).
3. Try a different USB port.
4. Try a different usb cord (I have over 4 in my home due to phones).
5. Try a different computer (I have two in my home).
Flash your kernal again as this is usually the case the phone dash exclamation sign icon comes up, odin of course.

the "forced download mode" sign comes even when the player is not connected to the computer, but I will look at this.

Have you tried flashing back to stock? There is a guide in how to do it, don't do it the odin way - it's too unstable and unpredictable. Flash back to stock with heimdell. Click on my name and you should find my recent past posts (6 to 10 most recent) explaining how to flash back to stock with heimdell.

Thanks guys,
its been a while but my laptop DOEST NOT recognize my player when I plug it in my laptop. I uninstalled the drivers and when I try to install the drivers, I get error 10. KIES does not resolve the issue either. Any ideas how to make the laptop recognize the player?
By the way, I tried every USB port.

put device in download mode
plug into computer
run zadig.exe
options --> list all devices
then in the menu of devices click samsung usb composite device
install driver
in heimdall you wont be able to tell if heimdall recognizes it or not.
this is hiemdall when you first start it up
this should be heimdall when youve added everything in.
now all you have to do is hit start
also both of these pics have comments that will help you. good idea to look at them. also feel free to comment

[Q] Messed up Player 5.0, need help ASAP!!!!

So i tried to flash Erigyts custom/stock rom with root (ZCKPA, 2.3.6) from XXKPF (2.3.5). I didnt find root for the rom, so i thought i could flash a pre-rooted rom. Odin failed, and i soft bricked the device. Im unable to boot into download mode. With my galaxy s i would take out the battery and leave it a while, and then boot into download mode and flash with odin. But i cant take out the players battery. It's like glued with the motherboard?
So i thought i could let the battery die and then charge it a bit and boot into download mode. But every time i plug in the charger/computer cable, it boots up to the softbrick screen. Ive tried very many combos, but cant figure out how to boot it into download mode. My computer/odin doesn't recognize the device.
i have no access to a jig at all.
And the phone does charge(i think).
HEEEELPPPPP!!!!!!!!
update: Ok so i figured out how to disconnect the battery. I did but it dont want to boot into download mode. It still goes to softbrick screen when i connect it to a charger/computer.

Download mode "waiting for cable + NO Recovery (Blanked)

So i was attempting to originally run a firmware through odin and had auto reboot checked when i shouldnt have.
I now have a tablet that boots up with a back light screen and functions as a normal tablet, but i now have a blank recovery
and i cannot use download mode anymore. ive tried drivers, different computer, the works. No recognition in download mode.
i do not have root and am running 4.0.4
please help :X
Hmmm.
Auto reboot shouldn't have damaged anything in particular. Its exactly as it says - whether you want the tablet to reboot after you've finished flashing a rom.
Just a few questions so that we can help you easier,
-What do you mean by a blank recovery?
-Does the tablet charge via AC? That'll determine whether it is a cable problem or whether it is something else.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Yes the tablet charges by cable. If I choose recovery option I get a back lit black screen, download mode completely unrecognizable. Currently only boots into standard android.

If u mean that u can go into download mode but can't get a PC to see the device.... I would uninstall the drivers and Odin..reboot PC and reinstall drivers and Odin. Then try. If that doesn't work try a different version of Odin and/or drivers.
I have a Q and A thread with the necessary Odin files and cwm recovery to root the p7510...there is also a link to a qbking77 video.
Good luck...
My problem is I've tried different PCs drivers and Odin files and my tablet still only says waiting for cable in download mode

well then we're down to the old battery drain trick....its been awhile since ive had to tell somebody how to do this....so give me until tomorrow night and ill see if i can find some good links to guides for you...
in the mean time you can google battery drain, bootloader, download mode and just about every other word combination you can think of for this method.....
..... which is to drain the battery to absolute zero...take it out...put it back in...plug the device in...and before the charging screen comes on you need to boot into the bootloader...
i know...sounds crazy,but ive seen it work time and time again...now those werent the exact steps...but i thougbt you would .eed atleast some sort of over view if you are going to go google hunting with me..lol
Same problem
I've the same problem. I'm trying to install Android in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the download mode has "waiting for usb cable". Odin doesn't recognize it, adb doesn't either. The tablet doesn't have an OS. Tried several usb cables, computers. It doesn't have an sd card slot to install from there.
I'm really at lost here , please help

device stuck on recovery + no OS

Dont know how i turn in this situation.
I tried to root it, and did almost everything to turn back to the original OS, but cant find any resolve..
The recovery mode is the CWM.. what should i do? Do i need new data?..
Please someone, HELP!!
Any help please??
I'm sorry for you. I think at this moment, you have to wait since this tablet is too new.

Even the "helpers" seem to have no clue...
Bagiz, you must hard-reset the device and flash a FTF. Then it will work again.
How this is done has been mentioned numerous times on xda and elsewhere on the net, no need to repeat it again and again for each brickflasher.

I tried to flash with FTF file via Flashtool, the flash seem like nor reconize my device.. in the log is "device is disconnected"
I saw somebody in youtube revive his phone via CMD with 3 .img files: boot, recovery and system (i think)
But i cant find such files in the net for my tablet..
*rolling eyes* You must first start the tablet in flash mode (turn off, Vol down, then connect USB, then LED should be blue)...

Are you using the right flashtool? this one:
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
And ftf files are flashed in flashmode. Same steps as fastboot, but with volume down instead.
You must also install drivers for the tablet on your Windows PC... *twiddling thumbs*...
Ok thanks ill try it when i come home
