[Q] odin does not recognise device - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

odin is not recognising Galaxy s2.what can I do? I nead to install a custom rom because my stock rom is damaged and recovery is not reading external SD.

Did you update usb drivers? If not, download them from the Samsung web site. Which OS are you using?

Did you try another USB cable or another USB port? And also the drivers.

Yes download mode is ok.
Reinstalled Samsung mobile drivers but still doesnt work. Recovery mode work and also download mode. Can i install rom with recovery and microSD? I dont have SD yet.
Try using another USB port. It usually works when you do that.

Soft bricked GS3,how do I flash stock ROM using linux ?

I was formatting my phone's internal storage in TWRP recovery and I accidently wiped my ROM instead of formatting data.Now there's no OS on my phone i.e it's soft bricked.Odin won't detect my phone on my winXP PC,I got the samsung drivers installed and I made sure no kies process is running.I tried mounting the storage in recovery but when I click on it on my PC,it tells me ''please insert a disk''.I wanna try flashing stock ROM using ubuntu but I just don't know how.I know it's by using hemidall but I'm not very experienced with linux.I just need the codes that I have to put in the terminal.
Can you boot in to TWRP recovery? If you can, you could just flash another rom from there. If not i just did a quick search of google for "i9300 flash stock firmware heimdall ubuntu" and came across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947975

Yes I can boot into TWRP but the problem is I don't have any ROMs on my device or even a nandroid backup.I will try with the link you provided and post results.

You can always put a rom on your external sd card (if you have one) just plug it in to an adapter (again, if you have one) and pop it back in the S3. And i bet in future you'll make a back up
Good luck.
Didn't work and I don't have an external SD.Well I guess I'm f***ed :/ NOPE.As I was typing this,I thought about trying to boot my phone while it's connected to the PC and while it was stuck at ''galaxy s3'' logo,it installed additional drivers(I thought all of them were installed) and odin detected my phone.I just saved myself a visit to my other house where my main PC is which I used to do all the flashing stuff before moving here Thanks for your help

There's a program called HeimDall. You can use that to re-flash stock firmware or you can install VirtualBox and Windows on top of that, then you download the stock firmware to the virtual machine and Odin and you can set it to read/write to and from the USB ports
Hope I could help!

Yeah,I think I will use virtualbox because it seems that my GS3 doesn't like windows XP.Even tho odin detects my phone now but MTP/PTP are both not working.

First delete all Preinstalled drivers and then connect your phone to Odin wait for sec to recognize it and it will download again all drivers
After that flash Stock Firmware ..
And about that kernel flash its boot.img.zip + Modules by CWM .

[Q] How to install a custom recovery with a broken usb port?

Hi,
I have s3 i9300, usb port is broken, I use an external battery charger for the battery.
I want to install a custom rom, I can transfer files no problem over the network in file manager.
is it possible to install a custom recovery and root phone without functional usb port?
do I need to root the phone to install custom rom?
what are my options?
thank you.
Fix the usb port, you can't install a recovery or root without using odin.
