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
Instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492
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!!!
thanks for the idea..but i know how to do all that...

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.
Help mee.
I have bought a s3 that is locked to Orange, need to unlock, but odin does not see the phone in recovery/dl mode.

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
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.

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.

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?

then in the menu of devices click samsung usb composite device

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.

Make sure you are in odin mode on the device. I came from HTC One and didn't put my device in Odin mode. Duh.. right? lol.
You can get into Odin mode by doing "adb reboot-bootlaoder"
for the best results:
1.use an official Samsung cable
2. unplug all unneeded usb devices
3.reboot into download mode again
4.connect to a usb 2.0 port on the back of the pc
5.run odin as an admin
if that dose not work, make sure kies is removed, and re-install the Samsung drivers,
reboot pc, and try again.
solved similar problem...
reboot your phone into download mode, but yet not proceed, plug into pc, open odin (as administrator), put the firmware files in their respective places, and finally press vol up to proceed in download mode and press start, it must solve, if all else does not help .. hugs
Hope this helps, if so please press "thanks" ..

Do one thing when you are trying to connect in downloading , just make sure kies is not running at background.
Thing is kies blocks that connection which you are trying to make. It worked for me as well. All the best.

This worked for me after having so many problems. Nobody was clear on how to fix it. I had soft bricked my phone. It wouldn't connect to Kies or allow any pit or rom being flashed to it. Everything would fail. I tried doing what you said and it worked. I always got the errors 'No pit partition' etc.
I plugged in the USB without the battery in.
Phone wouldn't switch on into recovery without battery in so I put it back in.
I then took it out and Odin wouldn't connect to it and start the process without the battery in so I put it back in.
I loaded up the pit file and started it! You should have seen my face! haha! It worked!
It booted up! Hooray!
I switched it off and booted it in recovery mode.
Installed new rom (hopefully this won't break)
Thank goodness for that. I feel your pain guys. If you need any help just message me.

reboot your phone into download mode, but yet not proceed, plug into pc, open odin (as administrator), put the firmware files in their respective places, and finally press vol up to proceed in download mode and press start, it must solve, if all else does not help .. hugs
Hope this helps, if so please press "thanks" ..

Using Windows 10 x64 with drivers freshly installed
GT-I9001, Firmware 2.3, Factory reset performed and drivers unistalled/reinstalled
Been searching for hours on this and can't get it to work. Captivate will connect to computer normally and allow file transfers. But when I try to put in download mode, the computer won't recognize it. I get a popup window that says USB device not recognized.
I'm trying to restore back to complete stock because I'm having random shut downs and other misc issues. I was trying to us Odin to do it but it doesn't recognize the phone. So I powered up the phone, started Odin, then plugged the phone in...Odin sees the phone now but of course needs it in Download mode to work...so I get ADB and while the phone is connected, powered up, and recognized by Odin, I put it in download mode using "adb reboot download". The command put the phone into download mode but then Odin lost contact the the bubble appeared again saying it wasn't recognized.
I've completely removed all the samsung drivers, shut down computer, reinstalled all the drivers, shut down the computer, plugged the phone into the computer and watch to see that all drivers were installed correctly and the computer recognizes the phone...
So it all works EXCEPT while in download mode...any ideas?
I've tried different USB cords but don't have another computer to try on...
I would say you should try Samsung kies, let them install drivers. Then use download mode.

I couldnt get the adb driver to work when in download mode, it was exclamated in device manager. So I used windows 7 instead worked fine, no this isn't the answer you want to hear but wasted hours trying to get it to work on windows 10

I just read right clicking on the adb device in device manager when your phone is in download mode and choosing automatically update driver can fix the problem
