[Q] Samsung Galaxy y bootloop problem? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys! I am just a newbie in this site and wanted to know a lot from you. My problem is that after downloading a game at the play store, suddenly, applications tend to force close. I can't open a single app though before that, I can play the new games that i downloaded. I have read forums and found out that flashing through odin is the solution. Well, i have downloaded it and everything was fine until problems occurred:
#1 problem) The odin3 1.85 cannot seem to detect my device. After i connect my phone to the laptop ( i should be able to see a yellow box meaning my phone is detected) there is no yellow box that should be the hint that my phone is detected. So i downloaded samsung kies and it also can't detect my phone.
#2 problem) Well, this problem is new. Now every time I connect my phone to the computer, it automatically goes to the android recovery system without pressing the 3 button combo.
What should i do?

No need to worry. You need Samsung USB Drivers.
Download from this page
Or go to Google and search "Samsung USB Drivers"
This is link to official Samsung Page
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
Install them and Odin recognize the phone.
Press Thanks if helped.

Bit of a problem with rooting

Hi all. So I just picked up a Verizon Note 2 today and happily looked forward to rooting it. I'm on 4.1.2 Jellybean VRAMC3, model number SCH-I605. I'm afraid I may have messed something up.
I had downloaded Odin and installed the Samsung USB drivers and all that good stuff. Odin picked up the phone and all that, but a bit more looking around seemed to indicate that the usual Odin method of rooting wouldn't work on the latest version that I had.
So I downloaded the CASUAL installer and got that to run. It ran through the install, rebooted the phone, and then said it was waiting for Windows to recognize the device again so that it could continue with the install.
At that point, Windows informed me that a driver install had failed and the CASUAL install did not proceed any further, despite waiting a good 5-10 minutes.
Since doing this, the phone has had bizarre USB connection issues. Odin and Kies do not read the phone at all. Plugging the phone in brings up an additional drive for about two minutes with a Verizon Assistant Manager EXE, a USB Drivers EXE, and a couple other things, then it disappears.
The phone will often display a message informing me "Unable to find software on your PC that can recognize your device." This happens regardless of being in USB Debugging mode or not.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several versions of Samsung's drivers as well as Kies. I also tried a factory reset on the phone itself, but these connectivity issues (and accompanying warning messages) persist.
Not sure how to proceed from here and would love a bit of help. Thanks!
Additional notes: All normal functions of the phone are working fine, and the computer DOES detect the phone as a "Samsung Android Device", but as stated Odin and Kies are not able to detect/connect with it.
Update: Messed with drivers a bit more and Odin will now pick up the phone again. When the phone disappears as a "drive" with install helper stuff, it reappears as a portable device, and I can browse the innards of the phone to put music and other stuff on it. CASUAL however still does not pick up the phone.

Help! Soft or hard bricked, tryied everything

Hi everyone, i hope to find a solution writing there, since i'm kinda desperate about my situation.
So, i got this telephone, a s2 I9100g, but only the day after i noticed the browser was in chinese. Looked up a bit better inside and i found it is a chinese version of the telephone (original one, but made for chinese market).
So i tryed to pull in an original rom, but it failed; i found a guide to how to fix this problem, and become able to flash the italian rom on it.
Basically, i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702479%22 I did all the steps using the CHN version of the bootloader and.. i know, i was so stupid there, but since it got stuck at NAND writing (i did not see the progress bar after 15 minutes), i simply unplugged the cable.
Well, after that the phone didn't enter reset/download mode, but it started showing the yellow phone---!---pc screen, with wrote above "software update fail", and something else in chinese.
There is what i tryed to do:
-Flash another rom (tryed 2) with different versions of odin, 1.3,1.6 and 3.07.
odin does recognize the telephone with the drivers installed, but if i start it, it gets stuck at setup connecting phase and failing after. Same with all versions.
-use OneClickUnbrick, i tryed to start it normally and from CMD.
with the drivers which odin and windows use to recognize the telephone (last ones available on samsung website), it says "usb drivers are not properly installed attempting to install drivers". So, it starts Zadig. I follow the steps there, and the installation completes succesfully. But at this point, when i plug in the telephone windows recognizes it but fails installing the device with drivers, and odin doesn't recognize it at all, while oneclick keeps showing the "usb drivers are not properly installed" window, time after time even if i keep reinstalling with success the drivers using Zadig.
-delete everything and install Kies.
none of the programs above does see the telephone now, neither windows.
Tryed to follow the steps i did before after having it installed, nothing changed.
Every of this tryes, i did the following "changes":
-removing and inserting the battery
-changing usb port
-changing cable
-changing computer
-trying to enter reset/download mode by holding vol up/down+mid button+power
Would be enough to make odin go over the setup connecting phase, or kies to recognize it, or OneClick to stop showing the window about drivers.
I read that seems i'm in a hard brick case, but since the phone is seen by odin and windows and the battery does recharge, i got still a bit of hope.
Thanks
Click the link in my signature, there's more troubleshooting steps to try. You've done a few but not all of them.
I would usually say that pulling out the cable leaves you with no hope, but you seem to have gotten a little lucky. Don't hold your breath though.

One click root not working XDA. Someone needs to go back in and put the fix in for ERROR: No partition with identifier "60" exists in the specified PIT
Ive tried everything so far, even uninstalling the phone driver driver to allow samsung driver to reinstall, even manually installed the dev driver. I even tried to use odin3 to install via xda instructions. Odin can detect device if I just plug the phone in but if I put the phone in down load mode and connect, nothing. I checked device mgr and it shows the device in usb connections. WTF, XDA is verizon winning??????
Update:
Well I did discover after all this that I am rooted but I think that s all. When I plugged my phone into the computer Casuals usb showed in the Device Mgr screen instead of Samsung. To confirm I downloaded root checker from the play store and I am rooted via super user. Theres an issue though with putting the phone in download mode and odin detecting.
Update 2
Well it finally just worked and I was able to get odin to detect the phone while in download mode. I am now on root66 !! Help for others: Be persistent, I think it took time for my pc to accept and activate the changes IE: the casual driver replacing the samsung. It literally just happened after about 5 or 6 failed attempts of running the one click root. And it happened after a couple of samsung driver deletions. When the phone was plugged in, I went to device manager on the pc , usb devices and deleted the samsung drivers. I wound up doing this about 3 times. I restarted my computer after this to. Then I plugged the phone in again and there was casual usb controller appearing in device manager, replacing samsung. That was when I discovered I was rooted even though I had gotten the error message that started this post. Later, I went ahead and was able to install root66 by following the xda directions. wow......it was an all day affair but hopefully this will take some of the grey area out for others with this problem.
Thank you XDA for working to [email protected]^! this phone that verizon and google so graciously shoved up our #$% with a warm smile. The wi fi button for the notification bar is not available, I believe this is due to verizon when they put their stink on the phone. I would like to get that back if possible. Also the google search popping up when you plug the headset jack in is still there, but you can go into settings/task mgr/ all aps and scroll down to google search and disable it. The annoying pop up voice search hasnt showed up since I did this.

it may looking awkward but try another data cable to connect it may work for u
Given it's more than likely (99.9999%) a Windoze problem, what exactly do you expect anyone here to do about it (or Samsung for that matter) ?

Connecting to Odin

I am literally having the worst time. I have to go to work in 30 minutes and my phone is now broken. All I wanted to do was update it so I found a rom for my Infuse but now that I installed it, my phone seems to be broken.
Now I am trying to get it back to its normal state, but the only way to do that is put it in download mode(which works fine) and plug it into Odin. But Odin will not detect it no matter what I do. I have tried everything and I am literally pulling out my hair because this is frustrating me so much.
I hear my pc detecting it. I download drivers. I tried installing drivers through kies, but it just sits at 0%. Then I downloaded the galaxy s drivers, which does nothing when I click the setup file(or at least I can't tell that it is doing something), and then I tried finding the download specifically for my device on the samsung website, but when I run that setup file it says Samsung Android USB Modem Software not installed succesfully (9).
I just want to fix my damn phone and this software will not detect it for the life of me.
