Odin. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I'm having some big problems here.
The thing is,Odin was reading my phone perfectly when in download mode before. Now,it just doesn't wants to do that. I tried everything possible. Starting from different versions of Odin and ending on reinstalling samsung drivers/kies. Can anyone help me with that? Seriously,this is the first time I can't solve a problem.
Btw,I can't try any other cable for now,but I remember having same problems with other three cables I had and problem was getting solved by reinstalling drivers or using connecting to another port. But now nothing works.
Any help?

It's either a lead or windows issue, find a guide on how to completely remove USB drivers and devices.

USB Not recognizing on any PC

Hi,
I have a galaxy s II i bought about 8 months ago in germany, It worked great with 0 issues, ive moved sevrel roms and never had a single issue.
last week I updated to the JB preview CM10, MTP worked fine when I connected it to my PC and I had no issues other then the occasional reset.
anyway, this Friday I was using it as a modem, USB tethering, when suddenly it stopped working, I unplugged it, tried another port and I get unknown USB device, I thought maybe it was just a temp issue, but I reset, re-installed drivers, and still nothing, my PC runs windows 7 64 bit, I tried at work with multiple cables and windows xp on multiple PC's, also tried ubuntu, nothing...
I tried that USB code thing i think its *#2738# something like that to switch between modem mode to USB and still nothing...
weird thing is it charges fine, the connection seems to be good and its not loose... im starting to think it got static or something cuz in my days as a PC tech I saw this happen many times with USB Flash drives, the contacts would get static and they would go...
any ideas?
P.S I tried re-installing kies, and nothing...
any help would be great! thanks!

I would try on another PC first. If it works, the phone is fine so far and there is something wrong with the PC.
I have same problem. I almost tried everything (uninstall and reinstall usb drivers and kies, uncheck usb debug, different pc or cable, reinstalled firmware...) but none of them worked

How bout trying a different usb cable..
1: Try Different Pc
2: Try Different Usb Port
3: Try Different Usb Cable
4: Uninstall kies and all othe pc suites and also drivers reboot and install these drivers and check if it connects
DRIVERS
If these dosin resolve then i dobt its a prob with with ur Motherboard or the Usb port
Put your phone into download mode.. Flash a official ROM by using Odin..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I've tried all the above suggestions, 4 cables, 4 PC's, 4 OS's, Uninstalling and reinstalling on varoius computers (drivers and kies), samsung codes on the phone to switch from pda to modem and back to pda, flashing stock rom, formatting all cache and data... Im looking if there is some advance trick im missing, I think we can all agree that this is not an external factor like cable or computer, its like my data contacts on the socket are dead and only the charging is working.... has anyone ever heard of this? or maybe there is something on the phone that I can flash that i havent that doesnt get flashed during wipe, stock format?
the annoying thing is this phone was bought in germany and i live in israel and there is no warrenty here, it means I have to wait for someone to go there to fix it...
I mean for now I can copy stuff using a micro-sd adapter but its super annoying!
if anyone has an advanced trick that worked for them it would be amazing! if not ill just have to accept my fate

then it can b a hardware issue .. either usb port issue or a motherboard issue
u can try changin ur usb port ... u can order 1 from ebay and fix it urself ..
I've had the same issue but because of water damage
on another note, Try cleaning your port with a soft tooth brush.
YES!!!
Fixed it! it was so stupid yet no way of knowing,
so i almost ordered the flex cable but said I'd clean the inside first to make sure its not the issue, I opened the back case and while cleaning I noticed a ribben was loose, lol, i just popped it back into place and walla, worked like new!
thanks for all your help, my phone is back to working great

MTP Driver Install Issue

Hi All...
Not sure if this is ROM related, ie a bug, but I seem to have trouble connecting as MTP. I know I connected before changing to the Jelly Thunder ROM as MTP without issue. I connect my phone to the usb port and its set already to PTP and then I try to switch it to MTP and it automatically unselects itself and selects PTP again.
Things Ive tried to resolve:
I read something about having USB debugging on may affect it so I tried turning that off, but no luck.
I tried reinstalling the Samsung Drivers from their site and no change.
I also tried the Kies drivers resinstall and that didn't help.
I have tried to mess with the registry the the "upperfilters" solution found on many SG3 pages with the same problem and that didn't help (plus I don't have a "upperfilters" key, but one solution had me adding it and then removing it in some sequence of having the phone connected to computer and removed).
I tried adding my device ID to the wpdmtp.inf file as one SG3 thread suggests and that didn't help.
I am fresh out of ideas to try. One suggestion from another member in the Jelly Thunder thread, where I first posted this question, suggested trying the hidden menus mod, which I have yet to try. I feel like I shouldn't have to go to that measure to get this to work. There was also some talk on another SG3 thread about doing a factory wipe on the phone to fix it. WHAT?... that seems like a hell of an answer.... loose everything and have to start over with settings and the like.
Any help greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

Super Urgent: Cannot connect phone to PC

So basically I need to get into download mode as recovery is not working (Beta Testing for Slim and it just doesnt load) so I need to use download mode. But what happens is I connect, and it says this usb device is malfunctioning. It has done that for 3 phones (All samsung, 2 not rooted and one rooted) This computer used to connect fine but now it doesnt. I've tried everything listed in threads, reinstalling kies, installing drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, all of it. It just doesnt seem to work. I've rebooted between each reinstallation and just nothing works. I've tried all USB ports and tried plugging the phone in while in recovery, download and just regular with usb debugging on and off. I seriously have no clue what to do.
Have you tried a different cable?
You've tried another computer? Different cables? Different ports?

I have no access to any of those except other ports and I have tried all of them on my computer
Well, you didn't give a lot of detail, but from what you said, I would suspect that there is some problem with the computer or connection, rather with the phones. To continue to troubleshoot the problem, you'll need to get access to someone elses computer and/or cables, I guess.

Is there a way to flash stock roms without the use of an EXE? My brother has a Surface but it's an RT
I found a spare usb cable and IT WORKS YESSSS
EDIT: So the drivers installed but Odin does not recognize my device annnnnd I fixed it by opening odin first. Noob mistake.
You were just too excited to think.

[Q] Could use some help involving missing drivers.

So here's a idiotic move I made while trying to unroot my T Mobile P76920h L9 phone. I tried one thread on here but it wasn't working so great. There was an error I was having so I took that error to Google and found some people who had the same issue. Their solution was something that I believe is what caused my now problem. Their solution was in C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX to delete all that and replace with some exact same files.
Pretty much after that, everytime I plug my cell phone into the my laptop (Win8, Toshiba) my phone isn't recognized in the Device Manager usb ports. I tried downloading drivers and nothing is working. I can't proceed with my original unrooting goal and now I'm at a wall. Please anybody know if there's a solution? I'm thinking just deleting all LG from my laptop and downloading drivers again would be a solution, just have no clue if it is actually.
Thanks

Big problem

Hi people, i got very big problem and i hope you can help me to solve it.
I got Samsung GT-I9100G with android 4.1.2, kernel version 3.0.31-893450
And i got problem with usb and recovery. First problem is with usb. When i connect my phone to my computer, it shows that phone is charging, but no conectivity, my computer shows message "Device is not recognized. I tried every single solution i found on google but it didnt helped me. I got his original usb, i tried many different usb cables and different computers but it didnt helped. My phone is rooted and usb worked earlier perfectly. Im using windows 8.1 on my computer, i tried many different drivers for my phone, didnt helped me either, tried with factory reset, still nothing.
My next problem is with recovery, i tried to flash another system, but i couldnt. My phone got his default, original recovery. It shows me problem something likv "failed verification package, or something like that. I tried to flash another recovery, it shows me the same thing. Now im wondering is there any fix for these two problem, or atleast with the second one, so i can flash new android version.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my very bad english.
Cheers!
Flashing blazinh kernal v16 should solve the issue..
Thank you very much. This solved my problem!
