Hello, my friend wanted Android 5.0 on his device (Samsung Core 2). He installed it from the SD card and got an error saying: "Application Installer has stopped working". And there is an option Okay. If I press it it just gives me the same error and behind the error message is only a black screen. He can't use his phone at all. He doesn't know much about android phones, computers and technology in general. He asked me if I could fix it. Now I know that I have to install a stock ROM (4.2.2) on the device. I downloaded ODIN and the Stock firmware for the device. Extracted both ODIN and Stock Firmware. Now the problem is when I try plugging the device in my PC. My PC doesn't recognize the device. So I downloaded Samsung USB drivers from "developer. samsung. com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows" . I installed them restarted my PC and I still get the error message. If I put my phone to download mode it won't even start recognizing the device. If I turn off my device and plug it in (starts charging the device) and I get an message that the drivers are being installed and then it says Drivers failed to install device failed to connect. Is there anyway I can make my device recognizable. I can't flash stock ROM because I don't have an SD card reader. Is there any method that I could use or just something I could do to install stock ROM and get this device to work.
Thank you in advance.

So I switched to the energy miui yesterday and it worked for like 20 minutes then wouldn't boot up anymore. for hours I kept getting "usb device not recognized" error then out of nowhere I got it to work and started to use odin to flash back. Well during that time it failed and wouldn't start up for awhile but now I can get it into download mode again but my pc won't recognize my vibrant no matter what I do.
I run win 7 x64 with 2 different cables, 2 vibrants (the other vibrant has zero problems connecting and works every time with my pc) and I've tried different usb ports. I've taken the battery out re plugged the usb several times and even tried installing all my usb hubs and nothing.
What can I do to get my computer to recognize my vibrant so I can fix it?
Usually i get "usb device not recognized" message when some stupid reason samsung drivers stop working. What i do is uninstall them, reboot and then install them again. Give it a try, also make sure you're connected to usb port on back of the computer. You can also try heimdall if odin doesn't recognize your phone. Couple of time that has worked for me also.
Try installing Samsung Kies mini, it will automatically install the drivers so that your device can hopefully be recognized, if that does not work, well just use your other vibrant.
I gave that a try but I cannot seem to get heimdall to even work. I keep getting random errors each time. 3 different ones so far. Is there any other way I can do to force my computer to recognize it? And I have the keis but it hasn't helped either. It just tells me to connect.i don't think it is the drivers when my other vibrant connects just fine without problems
If you were in MIUI, you are a going to need the Nexus S drivers for Odin to recognize your phone. You can get them here:

Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?
A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"
Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you isntalled the SDK.

Hey guys I have recently tried flashing the biohazard ics kernel thru clockwork but now that I've done that the phone won't boot but mow when i try to restore my previous rom it says there's an md5 mismatch and when i try to install a rom from the internal card I get a can't mount emmc message. Also since i installed the standard ice rom odin only read my phone when it was turned on. Have I bricked my phone???
If you can still get into download mode, you have not bricked your phone. Just flash an original firmware, root it and try again with the restoration.
I have the firmware but if odin won't detect my phone do i need to reinstall the drivers or get a new cable.

what do you mean if?? pls explain your situation more clearer
try reinstalling drivers. and before opening odin, kill all kies related tasks in task manager. then open odin. then connect phone while in download mode
whenever i was running the previous rom, odin would only detect my phone when it was booted normally but not when i would go into download mode and since i can't pull roms off my sd card because i get a can't mount /emms/ i've never gotten that error message before.
Don't connect your phone to odin, since you have no proper kernel installed Odin won't detect any drivers.
Go to recovery mode and reflash stock kernel stored on your phone(assuming you have stored a kernel).
If you haven't then use Heimdall Suite to flash recovery mode again, use link below for reference:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
i reinstalled the samsung drivers and heimdall doesn't detect my phone either :/
What is the "biohazard ics kernel" ?
Try a different cable, different usb port and different computer.
it's an ice cream sandwich kernel created by biohazard and ever since i cant't boot up and clockwork can't detect my removable sd which is where all my backup files and other roms are. I've already tried about 3 different cables and all ports the only other thing is to find a desktop and see if that works...I have a feeling i might have to buy another phone since my phone so far can't be detected in download mode anymore.
So what exactly happens when you put your phone into download mode (power off phone, then hold volume down and home button while booting it) then plug it into the computer?
Does the computer detect it, does it try to install drivers?
the computer detects it but odin won't detect it unless you've installed kies on your computer

Uninstall kies, download the samsung phone drivers from my 4shared (the 4icon in my sig), install them, put phone into download mode, plug into computer.
still no luck...
Ok so i think i bricked my phone but not completely happened when i flashed CWM Touch but must of not of been the version for the note. I can boot it up goes to Samsung logo but then all black this happened when i went to my Rom and rebooted it to recovery to see the CWM touch worked so no its just staying on the logo and I cant reboot it to Recovery mode anymore I can however boot to download mode some freinds over at BlackStar Rom Thread helped out how to fix it I just cant get my darn PC to install the drivers even if i Downloaded them on the Samsung Website and still says Unknown Device...
Any help will be appreciated ...I am very unhappy without my note lol...but yea i am
I would uninstall any Samsung Driver you have and then download fresh just the driver here: http://d-h.st/jfx then reinstall them and reboot you pc after uninstall and reinstalling.
And if you are running BStar, bigfau doesn't mind if you post your questions or issues in his thread, he and the folks there are very helpful and like keeps all in the thread.
Just a side note....
Okay will ask in the thread then thanks also tried what you said and uninstalled kies still get unknow device
So you have no Com connection in download mode while using Odin ?
If you have download mode, then Odin should work .....as the drivers on the device side are still working..
Or are you seeing the download " limp" mode ???
With the pictures of a computer and phone on your phone screen ????
If so ...go to the " note super everything thread " and scroll down to the post ...." Odin tips for better success "....
It explains a bit more ....
Good luck ......g

Hello,
my device (i9300) as mentioned above got stuck in a boot loop.
First I did was I installed the latest pac-man ROM from here. After successful testing I decided to flash the latest OmniRom 4.4 from here.
Now here comes the dilemma with: My Failure was that I had a old Recovery (CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4) and I didn't see the point where it says that I have to update it first.
My USB Connection to my PC was already broken before I started to flash any of the ROMs. So I can't connect to the PC to flash via Odin. It fails on the driver installtion. (I copied everything in my cloud and downloaded it to the internal sd)
The Device Manager shows alwas a ! in a yellow triangle near the "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" (Download Mode) with a errer code 10: Device cannot start. I did millions of solutions but nothing worked against this issue ...
Currently my device starts where the Samsung galaxy s3 logo pops up, get stuck by that with a red 1 on the upper left corner and boots into the "old" recovery.
This is my Problem. Please help me to fix this (and the USB bug).
Thank you very much
Kind regards,
A.R.Cante

To fix the USB bug, you must uninstall that driver and download the driver ( try to install kies for example )
To fix the bootloop try to do a full wipe in recovery mode

None of your advices worked. I did unistall all drivers and also Kies. Reinstalled and it doesn't worked. So I uninstalled it again and installed only the drivers but this didn't worked too.
Everytime I uninstall the drivers and connect the device to the PC it is trying to Install the Drivers over Windows Update and Kies isn't reacting at all.
Now since I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache and formated /system and /preload my device won't start automatically in the recovery anymore. It get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII Logo with the red 1 in the upper left corner. To Access to the Recovery I have to take the battery out and and insert it again and press volume up + home + power.
What can I do now?
Thanks in advance

Try to download any custom ROM if you don't done yet and put it in your external sd card ( use an other phone or card reader ) and now try to enter in recovery mode and install it and let us know the result

I tried this now on my Desktop Computer and it worked fine. I didn't need to install drivers manually. It installed it by itself and therefore i was able to use odin!
I flashed the new recovery and put the omnirom and pa-gapps on my sd card (I also tried this on my notebook but my card reader is maybe broken)
so i installed teamwin recvovery over pc, put rom and gapps on my sd card and flashed them over recovery.
Now all works fine.
Thank you for your help.
But what I don't understand is my Win 7 OS (32 bit) is recently set up on my VM everything was fresh but it didnt recognized my device... Google says a lot of people are having this issues. I've tried everything whenever I found allegedly a solution for this problem. None of them worked. I simply switched the computer and everything is fine. This is ridiculous. One year ago, when I had running windows as main OS, there were no problems at all. If the problem was caused by a virtual machine I think that not many people would complain about this issue.
Kind regards
Why would old Win 7 recognize your device unless you install drivers .

I don't really understand your comment. The Problem of this USB error has no root. When your Windows System says error code 10: device cannot start then you have a big problem because you don't know why and how to fix this. Try and Google this. You will find thousands of people complaining the same error. Everyone has other solutions for that. Some edit their registry, others simply do a soft-reset and try another USB-Port.
Samsung support can't help you at all because they don't know why this is happening. And the solving of this problem is really random. i tried for hours to solve this with no success (except switching to another computer).
Windows says on my laptop the device cannot start but it is perfectly connecting to my other computer. How can this happen? I don't know. Maybe the error code 10 is not that specific and there is something other wrong than my device.
Hi folks,
I previously managed to get Cyanagenmod installed on my HTC One X but since made a mess of it trying to get a stock ROM on there (to unlock my SIM). I have since given up on getting a stock ROM back on there and am now trying to get Cyanogenmod back on there, but I have hit some problems.
I have CWM on there and my PC can see the phone in Fastboot, but not via ADB (which I am trying to use to 'push' the ROM on there so I can install it). My PC (Win 8.1) is giving me a "device descriptor request failed" when connecting to USB when on the boot menu, and is showing up just as "One" in device manager when I load CWM. However neither of these situations are allowing my computer or ADB to recognise the SD card.
I have tried 'mounting' it in CWM, updating drivers through device manager, installing Sync (and uninstalling/reinstalling it), installing HTCDriver_4.10.0.001.msi all to no avail.
Does anyone have any advice to get my PC to recognise my phone or otherwise get a customer ROM installed (if there is another way.)
Thanks in advance all.
