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...

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 have been posting (and have had some nice people try to help) in the How to Recover Fascinate from any Brick thread for about a week and can't seem to find a solution. I have also searched the internet high and low looking for a solution with no success. Hopefully someone here has had the same issues and can point me in the right direction.
I rooted the Fascinate using a one click method and was able to get a Titanium backup but could not get into the proper recovery to do a system image. Stupidly, I flashed SP Recovery from within ROM Manager. From that moment on I when the phone is turned on it gets to the "Samsung" screen and locks.
I did my research and found out all I needed to do to fix is install ODIN and reflash the stock ROM again. The problem is that ODIN will not recognize the phone. I start ODIN, pull the phone battery, plug the phone into USB cable, push volume down to get the phone into download mode (Yellow Triangle). I keep getting USB Device Not Recognized errors from Win 7 (64-bit).
I tried installing Heimdall to load the correct drivers but it doesn't see the device either. I can connect my Droid or Droid 2 and Heimdall sees immediately so I know it is not a problem with the software or cable.
I have tried to install the correct USB drivers (even the ones listed on this site). I tried installing Kies and it doesn't see the phone either.
Since the phone is looping at the "Samsung" screen I can't change any settings in the phone as some have suggested. I really do not have any more ideas other that to use this phone as a very expensive door stop. Hopefully, someone here can help. Thanks in advance!!!

Control Panel/ User Account/ User Account Control settings- set to- Never notify- restart computer.
Should recognize phone. Reset to default when done and restart. Windows crap!
Thanks but this setting has always been set to "Never Notify"......any other ideas...please
I don't know nothing about it but the guy said " reset to default and restart (again)??

Followed the directions exactly. I think the OP wanted me to reset to default after I was done flashing. This is so strange....I figure if the people on XDA can't figure this out the phone is doomed.
Have you tried a different USB plug on the computer? Or a different USB cord? Or a different computer?

I had to use a laptop to access my Fascinate because my desktop wouldnt even show it as unrecognized hardware, it was like it didnt even exist... I went in device manager and uninstalled all my usb devices, rebooted with everything but mouse/kb unplugged, installed SDK drivers for Nexus S, rebooted again (probably not needed but better safe than sorry) and I can now Odin into my phone... Hope this helps ya man... sucks bricking a phone
The Heimdall drivers won't work. Kies won't recognize it if it won't boot. There should be an option in Kies to install the driver. Drop down box in the top left corner. Did you try to install your driver that way?
have you installed the driver yet? samsung driver?
I've tried everything on this site to root and get cwm to install custom roms. I've done this with my inspire and infuse but the sgs2 is currently winning the battle.
I have the drivers installed and I know how to boot into download mode but for some reason odin will not work for me. I can't get the yellow bar to come up for me to install the pda file. I like the phone but not being able to flash roms is gonna suck.
If anyone could help that would be great. I've tried all the methods on here and no success. Thanks in advance.
Put your phone into download mode and connect to you computer, then go to to device management either through settings or by right clicking on my computer then properties.
There look through the USB devices on your computer, you should find this listed somewhere there
Code:
Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composit Device
If the driver is set up correctly.
If you can't find the above then uninstall any thing that is any kind of a Samsung mobile device, unplug your phone and uninstall and reinstall Samsung kies.
If you do find the above, unplug your phone, make sure the version of Odin you have is 1.82 or higher.
Then do the following in the exact order
1. Reboot your computer
2. Start Odin
3. Put your phone into download mode and connect to your computer - and hopefully within 10 to 15 seconds Odin should recognize your phone

This should fix the problem:
Get the Samsung Unified USB driver here: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13196871580881
Be sure to uninstall kies if it's installed and uninstall any other samsung usb driver.
Then reboot windows before installing the new unified samsung drivers.
After installation of the new usb drivers reboot windows before connecting the usb cable into the phone.
Plugging in the original samsung usb cable into a different usb port in the
back of the computer is also a good thing to try as Dungeon47 was saying.
Good Luck!
Make sure you are using a USB directly connected to your motherboard. Make sure you are using an official Samsung or Blackberry micro USB cable. If that doesn't help, try another port.
Ok thanks i'm still in the process of trying and doing what y'all suggested. I will let y'all know if it works.
Well I got superuser now but still unsuccessful in flashing rom.
Says installation aborted. Ill try later but thanks for helping out.
Did you try starting Odin first, and plugging your phone in afterwards? That hung me up for a little bit. (I'm assuming you reinstalled Kies as suggested).

Yeah I got root but when I try to flash a rom I'm unsuccessful. Trial and error. Ill get it.

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

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?

my phone will not be recognized by the computer no matter what i do. It recognizes my friends i777 just fine in odin and as a storage device so it isnt my drivers. With mine it only makes the connection sound and says device drivers failed to install. I am running shostock 3, philz kernel and windows 7. I have tried everything and i am out of ideas, please help. thanks
Install Kies fresh, install android sdk and update it, reboot, try different usb ports.
Also u have to disable usb debugging and let it install those drivers, enable it and let it install those drivers and boot into download mode and do a regular reboot and let it install those. Always worked for me after following those steps.
If he's friends phones works. Then I think it's the phone usb. My own phone has the same issues but my usb on phone is messed up. Says charging while its not chargin and that happens I get the whole Device not recognize and fail to install.

I downloaded the samsung drivers correctly because my pc recognizes any other samsung but no matter what i've tried it says usb device not recognized for my galaxy. Im stuck in a boot loop and the only thing i can access is download mode when i plug it in the computer. I can't access anything with the battery in, it just flashes the galaxy logo over and over. Thank you for you time in advance
I don't have any USB device connected other than the mouse on PC. i have even tried on my laptop with no mouse.
I have downloaded pit file and uvjfd.tar two times from the forums.
I have tried flashing multiple times from both my PC & laptop using Odin 3.0 v1.0, v1.85, v3.07(latest), EZOdin v1.70 and installed Samsung USB drivers multiple times, even downloaded latest driver version from official Samsung Vibrant page.
I have tried flashing from all possible USB ports on my PC & laptop wherever the phone was being recognized. But now with the latest official Samsung Vibrant drivers, my phone is not being detected by any USB port on my PC.
But whenever I have flashed, Odin is stuck at Cache or Modem or recently(with latest samsung drivers), DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I have even tried flashing through Heimdall 1.3.1 but the zadig.exe shows the device only as 'Gadget Serial' no matter how many times I try, and installs the driver with device as Gadget Serial under libusb in Device Manager and I also tried by updating driver as Samsung Composite USB as mentioned in readme. Either Way Heimdall frontend will not flash and says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".
Edit: I tried with another USB cable, of LG GS500v, and Oh Lord Jesus, Odin flashed past it. Great, time to buy a new Samsung USB cable, now!

Similar Problem but different results.
Hi!
Whomever can help me, please help me. Right now, I am on stock Froyo 2.2 after the factory reset so this is how I got it but it is rooted only. I am trying to overwrite CWM because I cannot get into its recovery no matter how many times I flash it. Odin just will not recognize my phone when I am in download mode. When my phone is on, it will allow the mass storage and that works but when in download mode, my PC says unrecognized devide. I have a feeling that is the problem and I have updated the drivers several times, especially from Samsung but to no avail. Does someone have a solution to this problem? I want to go to Avatar ROM with my phone which is Jelly Bean and have seen its possible but I feel CWM is holding me back.
Thank you in advance!

Can you explain the steps your taking when you try to get into odin
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
The steps I take is put the phone into download mode by pulling the battery and then holding both the volume up and down then reinsert the battery. It shows the download screen. I then start odin and I have tried version 1.7 and the latest version of 3.0.7. Then I plug my phone into the USB port and windows pops up saying unrecognized device. I have reinstalled drivers several times. Now to describe my desktop is that it is a pentium III 550 Mhz...and old computer and running Windows XP Professional. I am able to do the mass storage when the phone is on normally so it recognizes it that way though. I have tried different USB ports on it as well so just unsure. I have rooted the phone and have superuser app access. ROM manager was supposed to have flashed the recovery mode but it never goes into the CWR mode either and its version is 2.5.1.2 which I have seen work on these phones in videos on YouTube so guess I am trying a different route so I can play with the mods to find a ROM I like. I was going to try the Avatar ROM for the vibrant but just cannot seem to get to the point where I can get the ROM flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep the battery in and lull up Odin. Cut off the phone and hold both volumes while inserting USB hopefully the computer will then recognize it

I am almost consigned to wait until either my laptop is fixed or get a new laptop to replace it because this desktop is 13 years old and has the old USB 1.1 but wouldn't think that makes a difference. Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers but I have not installed Kies yet but heard some bad things about that.

USB cable does make difference. And USB ports even on the same computer. Check also your phone's drivers. Finally, try out Heimdall one-click package for t959, it is more powerful and sensitive than Odin.
Good luck

Great that you could get it to the download mode.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed for your Operating System. Preferably, download the latest drivers. You can verify when your device is recognized when connected in download mode.
2. Make sure you follow this thread for Odin flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
3. If unable to flash using ODIN successfully, try with different USB ports, on same computer or a different one, say, a laptop.
4. If still unable to do so, try with different USB cables (any micro-usb should do).
In this way, you should by trying multiple alternatives at each step you should be able to eliminate the options and figure out what is really creating the problem in your flashing.
