Hey,
I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but couldn't find the thread. I wanted to install CWM on my phone, and installed i9100xxkp8 to root it later. Now once i installed i9100xxkp8 using Odin, Odin doesn't detect my phone anymore. The laptop I'm using is detecting it fine when the phone is switched on, but as soon as I switch to download mode, it says the USB device is not recognised.
I've a feeling this may be due to samsung MTP drivers in the phone?
Since I can't run Odin, i can't install CWM, and can't get out of this old buggy OS!
anybody has any ideas?
Thanks!

Mobile Odin thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
then you can get out of this buggy ROM, by flashing any custom ROM.
all that or simple put your PC online, every time you flash new ROM, windows install drivers, after that it will work.
that's for windows 7, cant say for other OS.
also try changing cable / usb port of laptop
einstall the samsung drivers and odin will work...

I tried following your advice, it installs CWM, but then can't do anything else, and I get the error
E: can't find /cache/recovery/log

Any idea why this is happening to me?

Sorry I am on work..........
Did you try to rectify connection problem first as all other suggested....
See I gave you a suggetion and a link to another thread which is working perfect for most of the users and also sticked by Moderator on his sticky thread, please go through that thread to find out wheather such error is reported or not.
please check, there must be a solution for your problem...
I suffered the same problem as you, and fixed it by flashing through ODIN another capable CWM kernel.
In my case, N.E.A.K. kernel.
Hope that helps
Flash a Kernel via Odin, from here
I suggest LPB, LPQ, or LPS. Good luck

Why on earth would he want to flash one of those three if he is on XXKP8?
I have exactly the same problem:
My phone is recognised when switch on normally. When in download mode I get the "USB device is not recognised"
This means I can't use Odin to flash a new anything, as it won't recognise the device when it's in download mode! Is there a problem with the USB drivers on the phone (I have a ROM install crash on me - thank you Keis!) Is there any way to fix them. Is there any other way to get around the problem?
It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?" being used/invoked by the phone in Download mode.
"It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?"
OK, that being the case, time to think logically...
If you have Kies installed on your PC - uninstall it, reboot, re-download it, reinstall it, reboot. If you don't have it installed, download/install it & reboot. Also run Windoze update. When you run Odin, you must run it as admin on the PC you're using. And most importantly, when you do run Odin, check task manager to ensure Kies or any of its processes aren't running in the background. If they are, kill them.
Also, despite you saying it isn't one of these issues, rather than saying 'but I know it's not this ! (even tho I haven't tried/tested for problems around these)' try different USB cables (use the one supplied with the phone if you're not now), different USB ports (must use a powered/mainboard port) and also try different versions of Odin (Google them).
Thanks for the quick response:

-I did this as my first step, Although having Kies active as a process borked my flash (my bad - forgot it was installed - usually just use the Google drivers from the dev kit), it has never prevented Odin from seeing my phone in download mode before.

I have tried a different cable, a different port (all of them) a powered hub etc...
I have previously flashed this phone with my current version of Odin. There is no reason that any of the above should apply to my case (I know logic doesn't always apply, sometimes...China...
Again. Everything worked fine, I flashed the kernels and various ROMs without issue. I had a bad flash (via odin) that hung. On reboot I was able to recover the phone via CWM back to 4.0.3 (ie. the version prior to the failed flash.)
The phone and computer chat happily when the phone in on normally (dev mode and normal). When I boot into Download mode I get the error, hence it would appear that the issue lies with whatever driver is invoked by the phone in download mode - the question is, how do I fix it? To be clear, Odin sees the phone when it is booted normally, but not when in download mode.
I am at a loss, I assume something in the nand was corrupted during the flash - not sure exactly what...
Boy is my face red!
Having tried every combination of cable / usb port I could, I managed to dig out an old dual usb powered cable (takes power from a 2nd usb port to power the device) and it worked! I guess it just wasn't getting enough power from a single usb port. Not sure why my powered usb hub didn't work - guess it's just broken .
Anyway - hope this helps someone else - I know how frustrating I found this whole affair. Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction MistahBungle - saved a lot of heartache!
No probs. Glad you got it working
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
I've had this problem for a couple of days now and while Google is turning up plenty of threads and solutions nothing seems to be working.
Yesterday I tried to encrypt my SGSII and but it failed and would no longer boot. So I flashed a no ROM via recovery (there was a notice about corrupted memory) and restarted. Since then I've only been able to access the phones download mode. Most posts with this kind of problem suggest that Odin is required. Windows will not recognize my phone in while in download mode, therefore I can't use Odin. Windows will, however, recognize it as a Samsung SGSII in the device manager if I let the phone boot up and hang at the SGSII logo screen.
The things I've tried so far
Installing Kies
ONLY installing samsung usb drivers
Cleaning the usb port
Rebooting phone and pc several times
Tried different cables
Tried a different PC
Additional info: Last ROM I was running was one of the cyanogen 10 nighties.
Sorry everyone, I know this seems to be a pretty common problem but I'm just out of ideas to try.
So, do I need to buy a new phone? Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Cheers
Hello all, I have a GS3 international GT-I9300
I'll try to go through the story as fast as I can and give as much detail so you guys can understand how I got here.
Bought the phone unlocked, I was stock, I rooted and then I decided to install a new ROM. I went with Resurrection Remix, it was working great. I did this on a desktop back home. They released a new update to RR so I did a OTA update with "Update Me" apparently the thing flashed but it didn't, the phone still worked but NFC wasn't working as well as having lost root access and some other stuff wasn't working correctly, but I lived with it.
I moved to Florida (home is in NY) and I have a laptop with me, for some reason my laptop used to be able to transfer files to my S3, but it wasn't doing it any more after a while. So it would just charge it. I was in a hotel room last week trying to tether via USB but the PC wasnt having it, it could not locate the phone. This week I moved to a different hotel with internet and decided I would flash stock on my S3 to get rid of all these bugs and get root again, I tried flashing stock through recovery and it wasn't going, so I tried flashing RR again (this time downloaded from the site RR site) and it worked. Still no USB connection but I had root back. I looked around my PC and apparently the Samsung drives are not installing or something on my PC. I installed Kies, but nothing, I tried a stand alone driver install and nothing, so I just gave up and bought Mobile Odin pro from Gplay to try to flash again.
Mobile Odin for some reason (I blame it on myself) wasn't finding/flashing stock so again I decided to try and flash RR and see what would happen. It flashed RR and turned on fine. Then I just decided to look for an NFC fix on XDA. Once I found my NFC fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029713&postcount=8367) I decided to just copy the files to the system folder, NFC still not working, rebooted and NFC still no working, so I figured I would try to flash the fix through mobile odin seeing as how I can't get my PC to pick up on the USB. I tried flashing but MO just kept bouncing it back and re-booting into RR. Tried again and no flash. So I decided to again try and flash stock. I tried going into Recovery, the phone shut off like it always does, came back on but stayed in the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 logo and would not move. I shut it off again, tried turning it on again and still stuck on the galaxy logo. Now, if I leave the phone off and plug in the USB, it won't show the battery charging image, it will actually turn straight onto the galaxy logo again and stay there. I can get the phone into download mode, but like I said my pc won't recognize the drivers.
Now, here are my questions:
What happened?
Can this be fixed?
Am I an idiot?
If I can get the drivers installed on another PC as well as Odin (1.85), will the new PC "see" the S3 or are the drivers on the phone deleted as well? (if that sort of thing can happen, idk.)
I'm going to see if I can borrow a buddy's PC and download the drivers as well as odin to try and bring my S3 back to life, I just want to know, what happens if I can't get the other PC to pick it up ether because the drivers on the phone are deleted (if that's a thing) or what I can expect if it is connected.
What are the steps or guides to follow here? I just got it into Download mode and it says on the top of the screen:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
sorry , i am sometime getting headache reading long english text so i just briefly look over.
your PC doesn't recognize your S3 ? is that correct ? hmmm , is it possible that your PC (Microsoft Windows I assume?) system is damaged due to something like virus or some reasons ? i have encountered that kinda problem before and be OK after i reinstalled the system.
If it's a soft brick, then it can defiantly be fixed. You might, however, lose your data along the process.
Be glad it's not hard bricked
It happened to me many times, USB error "unknown device" connected. Only fix for it was reinstalling Windows so better if you can use different PC or laptop. Install Kies and other USB drivers. Restart computer, download and run Odin v 3.0x. Flash your phone.
If this doesn't work then maybe your phone have a problem with USB port?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try to fix tit today, I didn't get a chance to do it last night. If anything I'll update you guys with what's going on.
Like I was saying, I'll try using a different PC to fix it. Now, if I can't get Odin to recognize the phone, what would be the next step?
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)
