I Think Its time to make a thread after 3 weeks of searching for fixes.
Okay, so I flashed this ROM 'Extrimis Rom'. It worked. 2 days using. After that, I flashed CM7.2 slim. Worked, No errors, Then ai plugged my Phone to my Laptop, It says USB not recognized. I Cant even flash stock using Odin.
Fixes Tried:
Pull the Battery before Odin.
Install/Update Kies
Tried several PCs with Kies and Adb drivers
Flashed System multi formatter.
I really need to fix this, else I wont be able to flash CM11, coz it needs Odin to go back to stock rfs.

If you tried reinstalling drivers then do wipe data /cache of your Phone then tick on USB debug then connect it to PC & wait for some time windows will Automatically detect them but make sure that you should remove all drivers which are already installed
If the above method didn't work then install PDA net drivers they will work 100% sure.

Do you have internet to PC ?
Check whether the drivers are completely uninstalled and then connect your phone without in download mode .
And have you tried PDA net drivers ?

2 days ago I rooted the phone on stock ROM 2.3.3 & decided to install a custom ROM ( AndyX ROM ). While following the procedure, I couldn't copy the zip file for the ROM in the internal SD, would stuck copying at same percentage every time. Then, I compressed the file into a rar file, copied to the internal SD & used X-Plore file manager to extract the zip file into internal SD within the device. Then, I wiped data, cache partition, dalvik chache & battery stats Using CWM. After this, I tried flashing the zip but, it failed showing can't open & (bad) error. Later, I turned on the phone & samsung boot animation was repeating (BootLoop). Only the Download mode is working not Recovery. I searched the internet & found a solution, to flash stock ROM. Done the procedure mentioned here . After that, I can't get into recovery & shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried flashing the stock ROM in Odin (used pit, pda, modem & csc). Gets stuck in flashing factoryfs.img after like 5 to 10% (approx.) of completion. Tried it in many ways but, outcome is same. I was able to flash the bootloader & kernel but, not the Recovery Package(Which contains the factoryfs.img). What to do now ??? . I need help badly !!!
Just follow instructions. Flash stock firmware in Odin but make 100% sure that there are no Kies processes running in the task manager. Then DON'T use pit.. just get a firmware from intratech's thread and flash it. Then afterwards use ODIN to flash the cf-root kernel made for that specific firmware.

I have KIES uninstalled.. None of it's processes are running..
Can you give thw name/version & link to the firmware ?
Could it be because of a bad USB cable(/non-original) or, bad USB port in the PC ???. Only 1 USB port works with the phone in download mode, rest doesn't recognize it !!!
Thanks..
Aren't the drivers you need included with the KIES download. Surely uninstalling would uninstall drivers, too?
I might be completely wrong but if this is the case then installing KIES again and just making sure it isn't running would sort it?

I've tried everything, soft reset, hard reset taking battery out flashed all different firmwares now i've briked it but the only way i can get it into download mode is if i flash a kernel in PDA on its own I9100XXKI3 the original version is 2.3.6 XXLK4 or LP4 can't remember well, any flash i do it's always FAIL FAIL FAIl :'( BY the way i do have the drivers instaled for it and kies
If you can get in download mode, it's not bricked.
If it is bricked, you can still get it repaired with a j-tag repair.
I'd recommend you to try Heimdall if Odin fails for some reason. It comes with its own drivers and does not need KIES nor its drivers to work.

It's a console application. You use some kind of console to run it with the proper arguments(cmd/powershell/...).
Or you download the Heimdall frontend and extract it into the same directory as Heimdall. Then you get a "clickable" application. Drivers are included, you have too install them manually.
I recommend you the latter.
if you can do download mode i say try formating system partition using cwm.
also remove your sdcard until you finish flash using odin.
try different usb port and different usb cable.

One you can get to download mode Yes .
Two download a new version of Odin in case old is corrupt .
KIES turned off and not running .
Three follow instructions in the stock rom thread below and flash any GB firmware with a working link .

Hey I have a i9100 that I had running on cm9 nightly. I updated my phone to the latest one at the time which was jul 22 and was 101.56 megs I believe. I went into cwm to install the firmware, wiped user data then installed the update. Install went fine, no errors in cwm. Although when I did wipe data I did not wipe cache with it.( I just wiped data accidentally because it was a force of habit since I flash alot)
Now the phone is in a boot loop. It won't go into recovery mode but will do download mode. Although when it is in download mode windows is saying that the device is malfunctioning. The setup I'm using is the same I've used to flash the phone atleast 30 times via oden so it should be working in theory.
Any ideas guys, I'm at the end of my rope as far as what to do.

No CM9 nightly is 101.56MB. They are usually around 130MB. You probably flashed a CM7 nightly. AS long as download mode is working, you can flash resurrection and then the correct nightly.... or odin back to stock, root... then flash the nightly, but make sure you have the correct version as the CM7 and CM9 nightlies appear in the same list and it's easy to grab the wrong one if you aren't careful.

Do you have the drivers installed? If so, and it's still not working, you might try a different USB port and/or cable combo to see if one of them could be wonky.

HELP! Bricked Galaxy S2- GT-i9100
I have a galaxy s2 gt-i9100 and i love this phone but it's been bricked and i want to know if theres anything i can do. I was running cm10 no problem for awhile now even though one of my flashes took away my computers ability to see my phone when plugged in and i've tried everything. I thought mobile odin was what i was looking for to flash the official JB that came out. so i flashed it and then that was all she wrote for my phone. won't turn on at all i just see a greyed out battery on my screen.
i can get into download mode using button combos no problem but odin doesn't recognize just like computer.
I can get into recovery mode but it's not the same as when cm10 was on i think it's stock recovery from when i tried to flash with mobile odin and the options it shows me do not help me at all.
my question is: can i save my phone? or do i have to buy a new one?
P.S. It must be the phone cause i'm using a new computer and it can't see the phone either, i downloaded kies and when i plug in the phone it still goes through the process of finding and trying to DL the drivers but then it fails. same as my computer.
please and thank you

Hi guys,
I'm very new here and also a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing custom ROMS. I was following the instructions of Archidroid in installing his CustomROm Archidroid. The instructions are easy to understand and very helpful. I was able to download his ROM and put it to my externalSDcard as recommended. I downloaded the lates Odin and Philztouchrecovery as instructed and put it on the PDA field. Then I was successful in putting my phone to download mode. Now here's the problem after I replugged my phone to my computer, nothing happened! "<ID:0/003> Added!!". >>This message did not appear on the message box of Odin. The last message from Odin is leave CS mode. What am I doing wrong?? My phone is the Galaxy S3-GT-I9300. And it hasn't been rooted yet. If there's already a thread about this please let me know so I can get to it, I tried searching but I can't find the answers that I need here. Please help!

Have tried all three USB ports in my laptop but still the same and yes, I am in download mode. One thing I can add and I don't know if it has anything to do with it is, on the top left the custom binary is a NO. I'm really new at this. One more question if my phone is being recognized by laptop when I plug it in like it appears as a portable device on My Computer it means that the USB drivers are installed and correct, right?

custom binary has nothing to do here buddy. first you need to root the phone using CF-ROOT method. and flash the philz recovery.zip from CWM recovery that comes after flashing with CF-ROOT. later you will be able to flash any custom rom through philz recovery.
step1: open odin
step2: put phone in download mode(volume down+home+power)
step3: connect phone via usb
step4: odin recognizes the phone
step5: cf-root and the following methods stated at the beginning

Sounds more like no drivers installed. Try installing kies to get the drivers and then ensure it's not running in the background. That should solve your problem.

3 most recent odin flashable bootloaders and modems For S5 G900T&T3 From 12/16 - 4/17
These were created from the stock roms and tested on my g900T using odin 3.11.2
So,if you want to update your bootloader and modem without having to flash the stock rom,then these are what you need.
Instructions:
Turn off your phone completely and manually boot into download mode.
Open odin 3.11.2,then plug your phone into your usb,and make sure odin sees it.
Load the bootloader into the BL tab of odin.
Load the modem into the CP tab of odin,and check the reboot
Hit start.....
The G900T will NOT work with the G900T3,If you need the G900T3 files,please download the right ones,towards the bottom of the page
As always,flashing is risky,so i am not responsible if you blow up your device..

Yes...G900T...currently running CM13.0 but would like to upgrade to one of the Nougat ROM's. My Odin version is 3.11.1...I know you call for 3.11.2...I'll download it if you think it will really make a difference.
Thanks...

Yeah,try using Odin 3.11.2...Also,try turning the phone off,remove the battery for a minute,then boot into download mode.Also,are your USB drivers up to date on your computer?...If you can't get it to work still,you may have to flash the latest stock rom to get the modem and boot update,then just reflash TWRP,and restore your backup...

For some reason or another, Norton is kicking 3.11.2 off my computer...but I've even tried a newer version...3.12.3...still didn't work. I always do a battery pull before flashing and (according to Windows) my USB drivers are current. I thought about flashing a stock rom but that requires Odin and if I can't flash a modem, I certainly can't flash a ROM. Geez...the phone gods hate me!

Well, I tried disabling Norton...same result. Using Windows 10. The computer is new...Christmas present...but that doesn't mean its foolproof. Tomorrow I'm gonna download Odin and a couple modem files to my wife's laptop and try again. I think your instructions are fine...I've used every port and every USB cord I can find...maybe my computer has some sort of glitch...who knows.

Failed again...tried on wife's laptop (windows 8.1)...made sure to use 3.11.2 and Samsung USB cord...recognized phone and failed as it always does...right after "writing...wait 2 minutes". Got to be a glitch in my phone somewhere and I don't think I want to go through the aggravation of doing a complete system wipe. I do have an old Dell desktop running XP in the closet...maybe I'll break it out and try it...but like I said, I think it's my phone. Thanks for all your help.

I find it hard to believe its your phone...i don't think windows XP will work,Tryed it once,and its just too old of a operating system...If you know someone with a windows 7 computer,you can try that..Mine always works find when i boot into windows 7 and flash.Its very possible its those newer windows versions that are doing it..But i can't say for sure.Good luck with it,and let me know how it turns out.
You did try with all the modems and bootloaders i posted here,right?

I've let this sit for a few days and am pretty much out of options. I've used every port on my Windows10 desktop and wife's Windows 8.1 laptop...multiple Samsung cords (including the original one), multiple Odin versions, every posted modem. Windows says my drivers are up to date and Odin recognizes my phone every time. The only thing I can think of is that somehow my phone has developed a glitch..doesn't seem logical because it is working fine...but who knows. Have even tried to flash with Norton disabled, bluetooth disabled..and who knows what else. Not even thinking of trying to flash back to stock since I can't even flash a modem. But what about bootloaders? Have not tried to flash the comparable bootloader because I don't see how that effects the modem..but what do you think?

FOG6...same as the modem...came with the phone...supports 5.1.1. Haven't tried to flash the comparable bootloader yet because: 1. I never thought about it and 2. I figured if Odin didn't let me flash a modem, probably wouldn't let me flash a bootloader either.
