I have a problem with connection my wife's ACE with ODIN / PC. I'll write you a few facts to help you in helping me.
I've flashed phone and rooted (odin detect it and I could also connect to the computer as mass storage).
Even after uploading the new firmware, I could copy some files to the phone.
And here is the biggest problem ... I do not know what happened but something started to go bad (crash with applications, root disappeared, there was an old version of the firmware - I have no idea as possible ... the phone uses the wife and children ).
I tried to clear the cash and fix permission - and in this operation, the phone has crashed.
I decided to flash it again.
I did all the cleaning and format factory.
And that was the end of my adventure - because when I want flashign, odin does not detect the phone. Phone is not not detected as a computer disk.
After a long time of connection by usb cable, Windows pop me up by standard error "encountered a problem installing your hardware ..." "one of the USB devices connected to the computer improvement may not work ...".
Checked on a desktop and laptop.
On both of these computers my other phone (SGS) works correctly and is detected - using the same cable (so cable and ports and drivers are ok).
Could you help me please?
Kies should install the drivers when you plug it in. But during flashing, you need to close kies.
It's not the issue. Drivers are work correctly because other phone is detected. Kies is close.

The problem started with 2 & 5 .
You probably flashed a new stock firmware , which caused root functionality to disappear .
In number 4 , fix permissions should only be used if a few system apps keeps force closing
In number 6 , factory reset isn't needed unless absolutely necessary
I'd recommend you to go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware that you were using
Then flash it with ODIN
Emo,
but my only one problem is, that ODIN dosen't detect my ACE. So this is my main issue: what should I do, to reinstitiute a possibillity of detecting phone by odin / PC.

It should detect your phone
Try ending all Kies processes by using Task Manager

this is your problem. Uninstall your phone in Device Manager and install it properly by downloading the standalone USB driver for S5830. Google for it. This happened to me on Win XP. On Win 7, the native/vanilla USB drivers worked fine.
Hi all,
A bit of background info :
I had to have my s3 replaced as I managed to crack the screen.
I took a KIES backup and also a CWM backup.
Once I got my new phone I restored the CWM image. then another reboot in download mode to root.
Now when i plug it in, it takes ages for it to come up in My computer, and once it comes up it is really slow to show all the folders.
If I try and copy anything it comes up with an error ( can't copy etc ).
I've reinstalled the win drivers , tried with usb debugging disabled, but still slow.
I reflashed CWM the other day and it was fast for a bit , but then when i tried the same evening it was back to slow.
I am running the LG8 firmware , reflashed it but still nothing.
I've updated KIES to the latest version , still slow.
Tested another usb port same thing.
It seems to do normal speed in download mode , so I'm guessing it's the drivers that are slowing it down. This didn't happen with the old phone, and I haven't changed the drivers.
I did try the LG6 firmware , but same thing....
I did run the "fix permissions" but that was a no go either !
So can anyone point me to a solution for this ?
same thing happens on my laptop, so I'm now thinking it's the phone
anyone ?
seems to work with KIES wifi..
Phone status and information:
Model number: GT-i9100; Android 4.0.3; Baseband version i9100XXLPW; Kernel version 3.0.15 [email protected] #k3-20; Build number IML74K.XXLPW
So the problems I have.
It all started when i decided that I want to return the phone to a full stock condition, as I have just bought it (not rooted, hacked etc.)
Checking a few videos on youtube I got the Idea and recommended files youtube(dot)com / watch?v=bz9gw-ZRbY4
When I entered the download mode I have encountered a problem, the PC doesn't recognize the phone when it is in Download mode. I have tried downloading drivers and changing USB ports + the cable is brand new. When ever the mobile device isn't in download mode it is recognized and I am able to transfer and review files that are on my phone.
So here I'm looking for help at you guys. How do I fix this issue and do I have the right video to follow?
Please, keep in mind I'm a Novice (I don't understand many terms and abbreviations).
If any of you would like to look in to my problem I'd be grateful.

So as you said I checked the thread it was not new to me. I have the drivers already, but I just installed them again and still there is no connection in download mode. As I said, if the device is not in download mode I can do what ever I want, but once it enters the download mode ... poof (like there is nothing connected to the PC). I had all the others steps completed too, but yet it doesn't work. When I change the USB port windows says "Failed to install" - Gadget Serial.
I had Kies air connected once and in my PC processes there is no Kies of any kind. Even before I enter the download mode I used App Killer to shut down all apps at least for a moment.
Right now My phone is in download mode and this is the status:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-i9100
Custom binary download: YES (1 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
And this is its state every time when it's in download mode.
I had a similar problem but when i wanted to flash it said failed to install or something like that in odin, but then i just changed my USB port to other one and it worked, so i think that the USB i was using was getting impulses of electrisity and turned of at a time so the odin couldn't connect to a phone so he just gave an error (correct me if im wrong).
So for your problem i think you should delete the previous drivers you installed and every driver you installed for your phone and don't delete anything else just your phone drivers. Here: Uninstall Guide
or Here:Uninstall Guide
After the uninstall reboot your PC and install drivers from here, and look for your bit version of your windows (32bit, 64bit) Drivers For windows
And the reboot again, then try and report back here.
Hope it helps!
Cheers

Thank you for your help, but I just realised that I am not running Kies on my PC. I installed Kies and here we go! The phone was recognized in download mode
Hello everyone, I could not find a good title for my issue but I will try to explain as well as I can. I own a GT-I9300 (International), but since last official Samsung's firmware update(Jelly Bean 4.3) I am not able to get my phone recognized by my computer. Phone is connected and it charges, but neither Windows or Ubuntu recognizes it as a portable device. I am concerned about UMS is not available on device, but my phone it does not even get detected! I also own a Galaxy SII (4.1.2) and it does get detected by my PC. I think that flashing a custom ROM could solve the problem, since it appeared when I updated official firmware, but the thing is that I cannot root my phone! Tried ODIN but since my phone does not get detected, ODIN does not do its job. I also tried rooting with framaroot and towelroot, but no success: first one says "Failed , try another exploit" but there is only one. And the last one says my phone is not currently supported, even if I change modstrings.
So here is my question: how do I root my phone? I don't know what else I could try. I have already reinstalled Kies and Samsung USB drivers but still not working. Also hard-resetted but no luck.
Hope you guys can help me out because this is really getting on my nerves
Thanks in advance!

Try with other port and USB cable.
Have you Degugging Android activated in Deceloppers options ?
the other day i tried for hours to get my phone recognised. what did it in the end was trying it on a different pc and it worked

The thing is that my phone is the only one that do not get detected every single time I connect it. I have already connected one GT-I9100 and GT-S6790L and both get detected. I already tried on 3 different Virtual Machines with Windows XP, Ubuntu, Windows 8.1 but no luck.
As I said in the first post, I think it's a firmware problem since it appeared when I did the official update, which was this one:
Model GT-I9300
Model name GALAXY S III
Country Argentina
Version Android 4.3
Build date Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:33:08 +0000
PDA I9300UBUGNK1
CSC I9300UVOUGNK1

I can see your frustration Now a few things technically it is a misconception that you need root to flash a custom rom you can actually flash a custom recovery with Odin full wipe and then flash a custom rom from custom recovery (only thing is you will lose all your data because you need root to back up your data)
Now I know the above statement is not very helpful because as you said Odin doesn't detect it (but I thought I would mention it anyway )
The reason framaroot and towelroot, didn't work is because at the moment the only way to root S3 is with Odin.:crying:
You may have tried this but I will mention it anyway first uninstal Kies and all Samsung drivers from your computer ( kies can interfere with Odin) Then try installing these drivers here >> http://developer.samsung.com/techni...Lhp1GqlWRy92Q60CX6PP1mF!80806326?v=T000000117 << If you have tried this then sorry.
Also when you connect the phone go to Device manager in Windows and try to look for your device ( it may say unkown device) it should have a warning triangle right click on it select update driver software and then select browse from my computer and point to the drivers that you have downloaded see if that works.
Another thing to note is if you are using Windows 8 you need to disable Driver signature in start up options ( Google it) for Windows to recognize the drivers.

I already tried uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers. Also I tried looking for device on Device Manager but it does not appear when I plugin my S3, but it does appear when I connect other devices like S2 or Galaxy Fame Lite. They appear as portable devices.
I'm using Windows 7 on my PC and have already tried with different OS over Virtual Machines and still doesn't work.
And thanks for that note, didn't know there was possible to flash a Custom Recovery without root, but I can't since ODIN doesn't detect device :crying:
Then it looks like you are running out of options I would use another computer not Virtual Machines
Okay I'll give it a try but as I said before, looks like an firmware issue, not computer's. Why would my computer detects two another Samsung devices but not mine (which used to work until last update)
Me, too!
I'm having a similar problem. Last week my GS3 stopped working, and I bought another one from Ebay with a cracked screen and swapped out motherboards. The phone seems to work as well as a stock Verizon phone on Jellybean would, but I can't get my Linux, Win 8, or Win XP computers to even recognize that it's attached. Different cables, each and every one of the USB ports, not even a blip. Device Manager in Windows doesn't even see it, and yes I got the developer options unlocked and have enabled USB debugging.
I've got the Samsung drivers installed, and tried to install the CWM device drivers from the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V9, but there was an error and that didn't work, either.
USB connection issues are usually due to Windows conflicts, driver problems or the lead itself. If all these have been excluded then you have either a firmware issue in the bootloader, which is very uncommon, or a hardware problem. The usb port is easily worn/damaged/dirty also the motherboard might be the cause.
There is no silver bullet to cure, test each possible thoroughly.

I'm 100 percent sure that it is not due a Windows issue, I have already test every option. I have not considered the usb port to be damaged or worn, which could be possible but phone charges every time I connect it to computer. It just does not get detected as a device. But in order to assume it is a motherboard issue I will have to put away my feeling that the problem is caused by last OTA official update, since this problem started there.
If it is a firmware update issue, is it any option to flash another ROM?

As I said on previous posts, I have already installed and reinstalled Samsung USB drivers and made a factory reset -one from config. option and another one from Android stock recovery 3e (since I cannot install any advanced recovery -or even root it- to flash a custom rom). Doing those factory reset did not downgrade my last firmware update (when all my problems started).
I also said on previous posts that I tried towelroot and framaroot with no success. As tallman43 says, seems like international version of S3 does not support those kind of one-click to root apps.
-----------------------------------------------------
So far the only options available (if my theory about latest firmware update is the problematic one) are:
● downgrade firmware: [Q] How? Odin is not working since my phone does not get detected;
● root my phone in order to install an advanced recovery and flash a new ROM: [Q] Any way of rooting phone without computer (apart from towelroot or framaroot because I have tried and do not work for me)? I read one XDA post from 2 years ago to root S3 via console apk but latest comments assumes that method stopped working.
● install an advanced recovery without odin or root: [Q] How?
● fix USB firmware issue: [Q] I have completely no idea how to do it. (Already played with *#7284# and *#0808# but did not get my phone detected)
Please I need help, this is really irritating me and I am running out of ideas

I guess I have found out what the problem was. It was not firmware (as I thought). It was the micro USB port (as boomboomer said) which seems to not be firmly attached to the PCB. AC charging just seems to work okay, but not USB connections. I managed to figure it out by forcing the USB in a specific position to get it detected for 5 seconds, but then it disappeared.
Yeah, it was not as complex as I thought! I will try to replace that micro USB port as soon as possible, thanks everyone for your help!
Something has happened to my phone (about a week ago), and now it cannot be detected on the computer (in touchwiz).
I have tried it on many different computers, but nothing.
When I reboot to recovery or download mode, it can be detected, but of course it is still an issue in touchwiz.
This happens on Eudemony Rom Alpha 4.4.4, and on the stock ROM 5.0.2 (dirty update).
Has anyone got ideas?
Thanks

Dial *#0808# from your phone Make sure Phone USB is set to AP and USB SETTING is set to MTP OR MTP+ADB
Have you tried flashing Stock 4.4.4 rom from sammobile then, clear dalvik clear cache and factory reset. After this delete samsung driver and kies from your Pc AND reinstall then connect your phone.

It maybe because of the drivers have you installed samsung drivers for mobile devices or samsung kies(if you install kies you need to disable it before using odin)
