Nevertheless it failed to detect. I tried every possible thing I could. I'm really fed up of all this. Please help.

1- reinstall kies (and leave it intact) .
2- connect your device while in download mode

Cannot get vibrant to be recognized by Odin

I an usually on cm7 or MIUI but cannot get the yellow box on Odin. I have tried the Samsung drivers and the nexus s drivers. Because of this I am unable to Odin to stock. Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.

try using all your different usb connections
reinstalling odin (sometimes you have to reinstall it a few times to catch)
try using a different computer or laptop
its happens sometimes, odin is a little glitchy
you just have to be persistent, you know what i mean....
Thanks for your input. I will try reinstalling.

i9100m not recognized by my computer after root

I rooted my i9100m a couple of months ago and after the rooting process it wasn't recognized by my computer. I didn't really care much though. Well now I do, so I unrooted my phone yesterday by flashing the stock ROM but it still didn't work with my PC. I really hope that my phone isn't broken. Any suggestions? I have reinstalled the samsung kies drivers, tried different usb ports/cables and multiple computers with no luck...

U did flash the correct Rom/Firmware for ur phone and not the international i9100?
Did u try to activate "USB Debugging" in developer settings?
CHEERS
I flashed the correct firmware for my exact phone. And I have tried usb debugging.

I guess there is a problem with SGS2's USB connector. Try cleaning it with a toothbrush and it may work. Seems crazy, but worked for me and lot of other guys. I came to know about this on XDA...

[Q] Odin doesnt recognize S2

Someone from another forum got problems with Odin.
He got the drivers installed but tbe box doesnt turn yellow.
Anyone know whats wrong and how to solve this?
He really want to root his S2.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Seems drivers are not installed correctly. Uninstall the drivers and reinstall. Also try changing the USB port or confirm by connecting a different phone to same cable and USB port if they are fine.
If the phone is on ICS/JB, use this method to root. Its simple and does not require flashing of kernel

are you into download mode first of all? if yes, then are the drivers installed on pc after connecting the phone in download mode? did you stop kies in the background? :good:

I thought keis needed to run for the drivers. Even when I try to connect to keis it won't detect though

As @sriram231092 said correctly you have to stop ALL of kies related processes.
The kies is important so your OS will have the required drivers so the device could be recognized.
After installing kies, make sure you do a reboot and then, just before you start ODIN close all the kies related processes.
I also suggest you run ODIN as admin if you're running win 7 or above.

hmm, I think it might be the USB cable, it doesn't detect even when I try to use mass storage. Have ordered a new yesterday.

Does device manager(DM) recognizes your device ? try to uninstall drivers from DM and re-connect your phone.
I also suggest using back door input for your usb.

It was the cable that is sh*t, not the phone or the computer.
Cheers guys!

Try to restart your pc/laptop? Take out the usb cable, restart windows, stop kies, start odin, plug in usb and it should say added.
Ps: you only needed kies to install your phone drivers, so make sure it has installed the drivers, you can check by normally starting your phone, plug in usb and see a popup msg.

Yeah, I am already loving it. Installed ARHD pretty much straight away.
I'm much preferring this phone to the one x I had, everything right down to the volume of the speaker I think is better.
Well it's great to hear
Actually I have 2 S3 at home the other one is my mom's, I've installed for her SAMMY based and I've got AOSP based kinda having the cake and eat it

Did you unlock it again? I'm guessing since you said you can't root means that you didn't use the stock image that was already rooted. Just had this same issue with a friend, flashed back to stock w/root, factory reset everything, and it worked. Then backed up everything and went to a new rom.
No I didnt unlock. Im uploading pics to show my problem.
My phone is not detected at all when plugged up to pc its just charged so no adb or rooting commands.
I used CASUAL but when it tries to push the PIT file it fails. Odin also fails when trying to use the PIT file and when it comes to flashing the modem

You made sure to put it in to debugging mode too, right?
Of course, thats simple.
Phone isnt recognized at all when plugged to pc.
Not in mtp, ptp, or adb. Nothing at all except indication that its in a power source.

Are you using the right version of casual for your fw?
you're not understanding me. dont matter my causal version i cant use casual because my phone is not recognized thru ADB
only thing its recognized thru is download mode. my pc shows NOTHING is plugged when my phone is on android and plugged up to the pc

You said you used casual and when it tried to push the pit it failed.
Check your drivers or try another PC
I have a version of causal that does work on 4.1.2 and also allows u to start the command from download mode so thats how I was able to try casual.
Yes im 100% I have all drivers correct

hi,
ideally, Nand Erase All option is not to be selected in Odin which you selected....this option has unexpected problem like the one you encountered and hence this is the cause of your handset issue of Banseband & IMEI unknown. Please avoid this option in future.
Thanks,

I tried it without also. Same result. Ive tried flashing all android versions 4.1.2, which is the one i got the phone with and yes it was in this condition. Ive also tried 4.1.1 and 4.3. All stop at modem but one stopped at tz.img

i have that program it fails at installing PIT file and so does Odin
Have you tried a different cable, for some reason it seems this phone is picky on what cables and even what USB port it wants to work on. Don't use a USB 3.0 port use a US 2.0.

Yep tried that also . And ok a different pc. Neither detected the phone in any type of way in android

Have you tried wireless adb? What about airdroid? Just wondering exactly where you stand? Did the phone show a notification when plugged in? The Devil is in the details.
I've been Nebulized, such a sweet taste with none of the smoke, and other bull$h|+.
