I own Samsung galaxy S. by mistake I used the wrong ROM files (odin) and now its running "AT&T SGH-i897 (Captivate) ROM". the home screen is not working and the phone restarting every ~ 2 minutes.
I've tried to update using ODIN but the computer doesn't recognize the phone (not a drivers issue).
On the recovery mode it failed to use the update.zip files.
I tried to format everything, full wipe and factory defaults - didn't help.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
-Yaniv
if odin doesn't recognize your phone its probably a driver issue, use samsung lies to install drivers ( even if soft bricked), then get into download mode and odin should recognize your phone
had nightmares with stupid odin.
i know what the problem is. it is the computer. get another computer and try. preferably on XP. i went through 3 computers till the damned odin would listen to me.

>>> Phone is supposed to be on and in download mode not off to use Odin .
Possible failed OTA update as per multiple posts due to root not removed .
Leading to USB on phone not recognized try a factory reset first .

Galaxy S3 not being recognized in odin in download mode
Could someone please assist.
My rooted Galaxy S3 phone (FW v4.1.2) is stuck at the Samsung startup screen after installing a font app from the app store
To resolve I have tried:
1. The recovery screen - doing a factory reset and reboot
2.. Reflash through ODIN.
I can get get the phone into download mode but ODIN will not recognize the phone in Download mode (Funny that phone is recognised by Odin at the stuck Samsung boot screen)
- I have unistalled and reinstalled KIES and USB drivers
- I am using the stock USB cable
- Tried different USB ports on computer
- Tried on different computers
The problem may be Windows driver related. Because phone gets stuck at the Samsung startup screen, all processes of driver installation do not conclude successful. "MTP USB Device" shows error in Windows Device manager, USB composite deivce.
Uninstalled and reinstalled these a couple of times without success.
Please assist
Issues with usb on s3
Actually fixed my own Question....
My phone was in download mode and was not being recognized by my computer my windows 7 computer. I pressed the usb icon, where a box popped up saying that there was an unknown device. You could find this in device manager.
I then went to device manager to update the driver instead of pointing the device directly to the driver when i clicked browse my computer for software then it shows a location and option to let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a box pops up showing model above that there is a little check box uncheck that two boxes will appear with manufacturer and model
Scroll samsung electronics and model samsung mobile composite device that is what you want to update the driver to...
I pulled the battery then re-entered download mode and windows to over installing the rest now it works fine. I would attach images but it will not let me for some reason. if anyone can help with that I will do it later.
THIS COULD POSSIBLY help with devices not being found on computers in bootloader or just on rom loaded and running..

Hey guys, i know it's a bit late now, but i had exactly the same problem with my gt-i9300 (got stuck on samsung splash screen and odin didn't recognize it in download mode) and just realised that everytime, i connected my phone to my PC in download mode, a message would appear that "Gadget Device" (or something like that) was connected. Then i searched in my device manager for the name of it (i found it under USB-Devices) and uninstalled the driver of it. As i connected it again with odin started it would install the driver automatically and *swoosh* odin recognized it.
A year and some later after the last post and I seem to be having this problem as well... I believe it was due to a bad flash at very low battery level which ended up in encryption failure ya da da, factory reset, clear/format everything and flash custom rom from SD because any other connection would not work.... then managed to get windows (many flavors inc. 7, 8 and 10) to connect as MTP or in USB debugging mode but Odin mode (download) just won't do anything... i put the phone in DL mode, nothing happens, no windows connection sounds, no changes in devices manager, even when searching for new hardware. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has had anything like that. I'd really like to flash stock to go back to a custom rom, flash twrp to replace cwm but all seems to no avail if i can't get a connection while in DL mode.
tried to install adb fastboot but also nada since no connection is being made.... might be something with DL mode gone awry with the bad flash... long story but OTA update from current ROM decided on its own to push update even though battery was at 5% and no user interaction ever happened...
we'll see what happens...

Driver issue. Find the correct drivers.
Beamed in by telepathy.
I bought a refurbished galaxy s2 and in the start everything went fine until i flashed CM 10.1
After that rom the pc was unable to detect phone via usb.
So then i did a factory reset from the rom and not from CWM and after that the phone is stuck at the boot logo i.e. samsung galaxy s2 i9100 and a yellow triangle and would not go further. And when it is powered off and i connect it to charger a battery appears with circular loading sign and it wont go past after that.
The phone does not go in recovery mode. just gets stuck at the logo with triangle(yellow).
I turned phone on in download mode and connected to pc but it was not detected by odin or even pc.
I have all the drivers correctly installed.
Things I have tried:
1. Changed the USB cables, tried 5 different computers but still no luck.
2. Removed the drivers completely and reinstalled but still no luck.
3. Cleaned the USB port of phone but no luck.
4. Tried connecting to different ports of pc but still no luck.
Now I cannot go to service center because it has no warranty and it was refurbished so.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.
I am willing to repair it myself if anyone could guide me about the hardware problem.
I also have a Nexus S which is connecting to every single PC easily and in every port of PC but S2 just wont.
did you try accessing CWM Recovery mode?
Nope the phone does not boot in recovery mode

My mega is in a bad way, I cannot access recovery or even flash anything through Odin. Odin gets stuck at initialization. I have tried various versions of Odin and tried with 2 Samsung cables and different PC's!.
Any ideas guys?
Hi,
When I soft bricked my i527m mega I had only 'download mode' left.
You can try to install KIES on your PC from samsung website. There is KIES, KIES Lite, KIES 3. I used KIES for my mega. I don't know if it helps, but if so you will have a stock samsung rom installed at the end on your mega with the proper carrier modem.
- Put your mega in download mode and connect to PC.
- in KIES klick on firmware update. If your phone doesn't connect you'll have to provide the model number and the S/N number. (you can find S/N under the battery on a sticker)
- The whole thing takes about 30-40 min.
- If it stops during download, try againg. I had to do it 3 times to get through the whole process.
Good luck.
