after a couple failed odin flashes
my PHONE is STUCK in DOWNLOAD MODE and i can't use ODIN because my PC now says USB NOT RECOGNIZED
ive uninstalled/reinstalled driver
different ports..different usb cables..different pc and still no luck..and yes ive searched xda..and i have yet to find anyone with similar issues..any ideas?
i finally got my phone to work
IT SEEMS LIKE WINDOWS DOESNT BOTHER TO TRY TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS SO YOU HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY THROUGH DEVICE MANAGER
1) download http://www.multiupload.com/NMPX3KMWRS
this has the 64 & 32 bit driver folders..put which ever one u use on ur desktop
2) open device manager..plug your phone..if your pc says usb not recognized and unknown device shows in device manager..right click..properties..then uninstall it..
3) unplug ur phone..plug it back in then unknow device should show up in device manager..go to its properties then click update driver..the select own drivers..then browse to the 64 or 32 bit folder and click ok then next..it will try to install but you might get a error..
hopefully it will say install gadget serial and fail..that means ur pc kinda recognizes it
then all u ahve to do is from there is go to device manager..go to the properties of gadget serial..update driver..and browse to the driver folder..and it should install..then u have to do it a couple of more times for when it recognizes other samsung devices such as the adb and composite

First, download http://www.multiupload.com/NMPX3KMWRS
This contains Odin, the Samsung Drivers, stock odin rom, updated odin rom, pit file.
If you don't want to lose your settings, etc. you can skip to the second part. If your phone still doesn't work than start from the top.
-PART 1-
Step 1.) Make sure you have the appropriate drivers installed for your phone. If you are on 64bit then choose 64, if you are on 32 choose 32. You may already have the drivers installed and it will tell you after you try to install them.
Step 2.) Power your phone off
Step 3.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)
Step 4.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.
Step 5.) To ensure your phone is back to stock, in odin you will want to check the repartition button. ONLY CHECK IT WHEN YOU ARE FLASHING BACK TO STOCK. Leave the other check boxes the way they are.
Step 6.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file
Step 7.) Click the PDA button and select Original.tar and then click Start
It should go through a bunch of steps and then your phone will reboot. Below are the steps to update it to the latest release.
Close Odin and power your phone off.
-PART 2-
Step 1.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)
Step 2.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.
Step 3.) Leave all check boxes the way they are. Do NOT check the repartition box.
Step 4.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file
Step 5.) Click the PDA button and select T959UVJI6.tar and then click Start
Hope this helps!!!

if you look in my first post i said
"ive uninstalled/reinstalled drivers"
and if i said i tried it on other pcs that would me i would have to install drivers there too..so the driver idea has already been tried..thanks anyway
Hey, I know u said Odin wont recognize your phone, but does your computer recognize that the device or an unknown device has been attached when u plug your phone into the USB. What version of windows are you using.

yea that doesnt work & it wouldn't. because the pc has to recognize the phone before odin can..an that the issue! thanks tho
I've also got this probem. Did you by any chance install the voodoo thing? Apparently it messes up your phone if you flash over it.
I think I might buy one with a broken screen for 200ish...............but I really hope I dont have to.
Anyone have a fix for this yet?
@xaymaca i finally got mines to work after 48 hours but it seems like it depends on luck

it seems like windows doesnt want to install the drivers itself
um, you just tried alot with those drivers and it eventually worked out differently?

no basically first i uninstalled the "unknown device" through device manager
then i would plug the phone..go to device manager and update the drive manually..until gadget serial showed up..if not..i repeat the process..
then when gadget serial shows up..update its driver manually..then samsung adb should show up in device manager..it takes alot of time and patience
If your system still fails to recognize your phone. Try installing Mini Kies. Do a quick search there are plenty of download links for that software. Make sure you restart your system after uninstalling the device.
I had similar issues with myn. But eventually got over with by doing a clean install off the drivers.. Hope this helps.
so i did that and it recognized my phone. it says it on the computer and on odin it changed from 0:[COM4] to 1:[COM3]. but it still stays stuck on set PIT file DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET.

what tar and pit files are you using, i had similar issues when i tried odin'ing back to ji6. however odin'ing to stock JFD worked beautifully. if you need help finding the proper odin files here is a mirror of them: Odin Mirrors
This happened to me before, and someone mentioned it earlier. Get into device manager on windows, go to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) section, and I uninstalled every option you see in there. Restart your computer and windows will automatically reinstall those items apon reboot. The phone should now be detectable...
EDIT: Fail, it appears you already got it solved...
hey im not sure what tar abd pit files are. im really new to this. question, with the mirror how would i use it? will it still work with my phone trippin lol and not being picked up on my computer.
So I followed the guide on getting ready to flash MUI, and saw I needed the nexus S drivers.
I downloaded the Andriod SDK, and then from there download the Google USB driver.
It put files in
c:\program files(x86)\Android\andriod-sdk\extras\google\usb-driver
I open up device manager and find SAMSUNG_android do a complete uninstall of drivers, and reboot system, but as soon as I plug phone back in, it pops up.
So I right click on SAMSUNG_andriod, and choose update driver, and manually browse to that folder above and every time it says:
Windows could not find driver software for your device.
I tried to even put back the original Samsung Drivers, but it keeps showing a yellow triangle in device manager.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Install Samsung Kies to be able your PC to detect your phone via Odin
also check the debugging mode in the developer options

I have uninstalled the older Kies, re installed the latest.
I have installed the lastest odin.
Have tried to link up with and without debugging, odin still does not see phone when in recovery mode.
Only time odin see the phone when phone is in normal mode.
Starting to get annoyed now lol, i cant cut my sim to fit phone, untill this is done
I cant see my s2 on odin either, what am i doing wrong ????
1. Reboot PC
2. Ensure KIES is not running and kill any KIES processes in PC task manager.
3. Download mode
4. Connect USB directly to PC port (no hub)
5. Wait for any drivers to instal or load on PC
6. Start Odin in administrator mode
If still no good;
a) Different USB cable
b) Different PC USB port and wait for drivers

Thanks . Seems that I had been pressing volume up not down.
I have another question . I used chainfire Rom to debrand the phone but keis does not recognize . How can I solve this . Could it be because the phone is rooted ?
i am having this problem at the mo, I have tried all of the above, apart from a different pc.
oden worked fine with my galaxy s2
is there any more updates on how to sort this out please?
thanks

I know this is a 7 day old thread, but I feel for you having been in the same situation. Firstly, have you installed the Android SDK? If not then I advise you to do so. Do a search on how to install the SDK. There maybe smaller downloads available with a package of the binaries you need to do some testing i.e. adb. The instructions will elaborate about how to set up your Environment settings in Windows. Essentially ADB needs to be called from within any part of your Windows system....or else you will have to cd to its location each and every time you want to do something like this. So once you have done that, open command prompt and type adb and see what comes up? If it says bad command or file name it means your environment settings for the ASK are incorrect, if it displays the adb help text in command prompt you are ready to proceed.
When you plug your device in (not in DL or recovery modes) is it detected by the PC? If so then your drivers are probably fine. If not then it maybe 1 of 2 things? 1 the device is detected but the MTP drivers have not been loaded or 2. No detection what so ever and all drivers need to be installed.
To determine how to proceed you will need to do a bit of investigating.
Note the USB drivers are included as part of the Android SDK.
Check in Device manager inside of Windows to see if anything is detected when you plug it in. If so but it has a yellow exclamation ! then it would indicate you need to update your drivers (but not always?). From here you can test to see if the phone is detected and you only need MTP drivers.
If not then I would suggest uninstalling Keis all together and downloading and installing the Samsung USB drivers separately. Install the drivers. Plug in the phone. If it is not detected straight away, then reboot the PC then plug the phone into a different USB port. From here you can determine how to proceed by using adb.
plug your phone in via USB and open command prompt and type this: adb devices
You should see 1 of 2 things.
1) The words "list of devices attached" followed by a 16 digit long ID number a gap and the word "device"
2) just the words "list of devices attached" and then blank and nothing else?
If a device ID is returned then you can proceed with the following. Otherwise you need to do some additional trouble shooting
Proceed here:
Once it is detected by Windows and shows up in Explorer then unplug the phone and go into settings and developer options and check enable USB debugging. Once you have done this it should allow your device to be seen in DL and recovery modes.
Troubleshoot: If not detected try the following:
1) Reboot the PC and plug into a new USB port that you have not previously plugged into.
2) Try disabling USB debugging plugging the device in and then unplugging it and reenabling USB debugging
3) From the status bar try switching modes between MTP and PTP modes. Wait a good minute or so between to allow Windows to detect the driver change. Tip a good indication is your notification tray Icon with green USB disk with a magnifying glass swirling around....Note if you cannot see this at all you probably should drag it into the notification panel so that you CAN!
4) Open up device manager again and ensure no yellow exclamation marks !
Once all this is right and you can get List of devices attached followed by an ID number then you can for sure be able to detect your device from Odin. Make sure you are running Odin 3.04, run it as admin (not necessary but have heard that it helps?)
Good luck

I have an S4 Active that NO MATTER WHAT I DO, Odin will NOT see phone in Download mode, it will with the phone on, and my PC will see the phone, but not Odin. I am stumped. I have tried 3 PC's, I have ALL the drivers and then some. I am Stumped.

You can try with minimal/no drivers i.e. uninstall kies if you have it and delete the drivers you might have installed on your own-it sounds counter productive but it has worked for me a few times.
You can also try to either install kies or the drivers separately.
Try the forum for your own phone, the people there might know better about this problem.
Also what OS are you on?

I have tried several computers using Windows 7 and Windows XP both 32 and 64
It seems no matter what I do I keep getting device not recognized. I have tried installing all the drivers via kies, I have turned on usb debugging, uninstalled stuff on the pc. I just can not get this to work, I am using the cable that came with the device and have tried different ports.
It look's like I might be having this issue with windows 7 as well. I am now at least getting it to some times show up in device manager. Currentley when I set it to PTP it pops up as a MTP USB Device but has the error symbol. If I do MTP it shows up as SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device with the error.
For people with windows 8: Once you have the driver downloaded, right click on the file and go to properties. Go to the compatibility tab. Put a check next to run this program in compatibility mode. Choose Windows 7 from the drop down window. This should allow you to install the drivers. Kies never recognized my device, but Odin did. I am now rooted. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.
I have a little different problem (also windows 8).
This is a custom built desktop tower that i did a clean win8 install on and it doesnt respond at all when I plug in my N2. Absolutely NOTHING happens, although it works just fine plugged into my wifes LT with windows 8 and I didnt even install any drivers in it.
This same tower works just fine with my two galaxy 3s.

Where can you find the driver? All I can find is using keis to install drivers. If you go to the site it only has a pdf
usb driver

I have Windows 8 Pro x64 (clean installed) on a custom built tower, and haven't had a single issue using ODIN to flash beans rom, or any problems mounting the device to read/write files. I didn't have to do anything crazy or custom to get it working either.. just installed the drivers in the thread about rooting the phone originally with ODIN.

We are both running with the exact same setup. I built my PC and am using enterprise on the custom build. My laptop at work I am using pro. The drivers provided on the rooting page do nothing for me either. This is so frustrating, and when I had the note 2 on sprint it worked just fine. I am starting to wonder if the issue is the phone.
I had some troubles with my galaxy nexus on win 8 too, with similar rig to yours. I'll see what happens over the weekend when I get my Note set up.
Factory restore fixed the issue.
But still no kies
For anyone having problems, I think this should fix it after the reboot. Let me know.
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
Didn't do anything for me :/. My phone doesn't even give me the option to go into other modes to interface with my pc. My windows 8 machine sees the device as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM but says that it is missing drivers. When I try and get it to automatically search for drivers it comes up with nothing even when my system has samsung drivers sitting on it. I have tried it on my Windows 7 machine also and it has had similar results. It's strange because Odin sees my phone. I was able to flash root66 rom on it but after that nothing, I can't even get a factory image back on it, it'll only accept root66.
Try using a USB hub. That worked for me on my Win8 machine. I tried factory reset and it didnt work. I also tried re loading windows and it still didnt work. I plugged into a usb hub and my pc recognized my phone....

It's not an issue of your phone. It's an issue of Window 8. This might work but I can't guarantee you 100%.
You may try to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it helps:
a. Right click on setup file.
b. Click on Properties.
c. Click on Compatibility tab.
d. Put a check mark on Run this program in compatibility mode for.
e. Select Windows 7.
f. Put a check mark on Run this program as an administrator under Privilege Level.
I had already done all that. Upon factory restoring it worked without a hitch. I had the same issue on pc's running win7
Hi, frist post here.
I'm from Venezyela, sorry for my english first to all.
My problem is that: I want the ClockRecoveryMod for my Samsung Galaxy 550, but I can with Odin, because my PC (Windows 8.1) dont run the Drivers on the "Downloading Mode", The Kies recognizes the phone and I made the Root with SuperOneClick, but with DonloadMode the PC just say me "Windows dont recognizes" so, Odin dont recognizes it too.
If someone can help me or maybe know another way to install a RecoveryMod to the Phone, I will be grateful
Waiting for your help, bye bye.
Google "Samsung drivers", download them and then right-click the (driver's) installer and go to properties -> compability and select windows 7. Finally, install them.
That should do it.

AdriaMRios,
This is the link to download for drivers.
http://d-h.st/iPk
As you use windows 8.1 then you will have to extract the file you download from the link above and then right click on the .exe file and go to 'properties', in that go to 'compatibility' and in that choose your operating system as "WINDOWS 7" and check the option below 'always run as administrator' and there you go. Double click on .exe file and follow steps. Install drivers. No need to restart the pc also. (if your phone also do not detect after installing these drivers only then restart). These are the most stable and perfect drivers I have found.
If these drivers Don't work...! Then...read below.
Windows 8.1 has a bug in the Microsoft USB stack affecting many devices using Qualcomm chipsets. The bug prevents the OS from being able to enumerate any of these devices in download mode (fastboot, Odin, Sony flashtool - they're all buggy).
You can downgrade your PC to Windows 8.0, flash on another PC, or wait for Microsoft to release the fix. See here:

Don't spam their comments section. They have the information needed to fix the Galaxy 5 already, so just be patient.
