Hi,
I was using S6 edge from almost 2 years and I rooted it after 1st year of use.
I installed many roms including few stock roms and changed many recovery modes using ODIN. I was using TWRP recovery for many days. I used to wipe all the data( including internal storage ) from recovery mode itself which wipes out the custom rom too. After wiping out, the phone usually boots to recovery mode as it is the only thing present on it and the system detects it as a USB storage which allows me to copy a new rom on to the internal storage of phone.
I did the same thing now and wiped out all the data using TWRP recovery, and after that phone boots to recovery mode as usual. But this time system is not detecting the phone's storage and so I tried to install a stock rom using ODIN. Then to my surprise, ODIN also doesn't recognize the phone this time. I tried to disconnect and connect again, it says 'USB device not recognized'.
I was using the same USB drivers from almost a year and still, I tried to uninstall and re-install the USB drivers, the problem remains the same.
I am not sure what to do here as ODIN itself is not detecting. I tried all USB ports with different cables, but not use.
Can anyone suggest me a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
Samsung authorized service center says system is not detecting mobile even for them and needs to replace the motherboard....!!

Hi all i recently installed the kg3 firmware and ever since doing so i cannot get any pc to recognise the device. i have tried in all ports and 3 pc's.
I have bought a new cable but same issue.
I tried doing a factory reset. and a reset through the manual mode.
I have reinstalled kies and uninstalled and put just the drivers on but same issue.
I think it's firmware as it happened as soon as i did the update ?
is there any way i can manually do a firmware update onto a ofial release stock if i can get it into the phones memory, I don't have a micro sd at this time?
Please help or any suggestions otherwise i may send back as faulty unit for warranty just incase the usb bit internally some how broke.
thanks in advance
Also for got to mention i tried it in usb dev mode and not

Anyway to recover the firmware on the phone with out access to usb ?
You can try flashing firmware with Odin. Read Chainfire thread in Original Development section.

Do you have CWMrecovery?
If so boot into it, plug your phone in, select mounts, select mount usb storage.
If that works its firmware, if not its hardware.
If you have CWM recovery take your sd card out and copy a rom zip to it, boot into your rom, copy that rom into internal storage, reboot into CWM recovery, wipe data/cache and flash the rom from the apply zip from sd card menu item.
hi, I don't have cwmrecovery installed and it can be only installed via odin right?
In regards to ODIN i cannot get it to detect the handset to flash anything.
okay i was going to flash the official ICS for my GS2 then i plugged my phone up and it said "Windows cannot recognize this device" so when i put it in download mode my computer does not even show that its plugged. Heres all what i have already done to solve the issue:
tried 4 different computers
using stock wire & other wires
restarted computer & phone
pulled battery
removed external memory card
uninstalled & re-installed drivers
turned off usb debugging, when i do it says MTP Initialization
wiped system data/cache
and restored from a backup rom to see if it was them rom
any help?

Hi All,
I am having an issue with my S4 that when I plug them into my computer I get USB device not recognized. I have searched the forum for the past 2 days trying all kinds of different solutions the major one was changing my USB/charging port board on my phone.
I need to ODIN my device to an MJ7 image. At first I got the error and did a factory reset through safestrap recover. Still got the error so I did an advance wipe of every option. (Looking back shouldnt have done that) That took away my recovery, but I can get to download mode, but its not detected by my computer to use ODIN with. So I am stuck without a custom recovery without the ability to boot into anything.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Reinstall/uninstall drivers, reinstall/uninstall kies.
2. Changed USB ports on computer.
3. Changed USB cables
4. Changed computers from Win 8 x64 to Win 7 x64.
5. Changed computer to my MACbook using Heimdall.
6. Changed USB charging port board on my phone.
7. Tried everything again. *Still doesnt detect it*
Any ideas that I havent done already, or how to fix? I do have nandroid backup of my ROM, but dont have a custom recovery to flash it.
Cant ODIN back cause its not detected by my computer. Thanks in advance for your help.
Is USB debugging still checked on phone? You must use the USB cable provided with phone...

Thanks for the reply. I cant select USB debug on my phone because my phone does not boot into the main OS, it is stuck at the samsung custom padlock screen. The USB debug option was on when the OS was installed though. My phone will only boot into stock recovery and into download mode. I tried to use the original USB cable provided with the phone as I read this could be the problem, but I tried 4 other ones too and phone still gets detected as "Unknown Device" in device manager, so ODIN cant even see phone in download mode to restore. I have tried to install KIES and the Samsung Mobile phone drivers 1.5.x.x drivers. Just read somewhere where someone had this issue and installed Samsung mobile phone driver v1-4-6-0 so I am trying that now.

Tried Samsung Mobile phone drivers version 1.4.6.0 and still the same outcome "USB device not recognized". I went down to a local electronics store and bought two different brand microUSB data cables. Tried them both along with my original one from samsung, and still the same result. Any other ideas??
Anyone else have any ideas? Thinking of sending it in and having it JTAG'ed back to stock. Can anyone recommend any services? Heard mobiletechvideos is good.

Hello,
My phone died two evenings ago and now won't get any further than the flashing Samsung logo when booting up. I have tried:
- different batteries,
- leaving the phone with no battery in for hours before retrying
- going into download mode, but device is not recognised by Kies (although does appear under devices and printers as Samsung_Android)
- going into recovery mode and attempting ADB but again device is not recognised by Kies
- going into recovery mode and accessing CWM-based recovery v.6.0.1.4 (CWM-non-touch-6.0.1.4-i91000.zip) but restore fails due to an MD5 mismatch (??)
If the phone is totally tanked that's fine, I'll do a factory reset, but I would if possible at least like to be able to get last few months of photos off the phone before wiping and starting again.
Any suggestions for help?
Thank you :good:
try installing your ROM via recovery from the SD card wipe chache, dalvik, install the kernel you had, wipe cache, dalvik and reboot, worked for me with a similar problem
Flash cwm or trp recovery, and you can mount your internal & sd memory from recovery , then you can copy your files to pc first! Then your can resolve your problem! dont look for phone in devices and printers!!! go to device manager and check your usb cable, usb ports!
Also I had this problem, here is how I've solved it:
Reinstall USB Drivers
Turn off the device
Boot in download mode
Flash a stock firmware via ODIN
Reboot
Hi all,
I'm trying to get my old s2 to a point where I can think about flashing one of the Lineage roms 14 or 15.
First hurdle is that i need to replace the current custom recovery (Philz 3) with TWRP. Ordinarily I'd do this through Odin and not think twice about it. However I cannot get my windows machine to recognise the USB connection to the phone. It will charge and nothing more. The phone obviously used to connect, many years ago.
Device : Samsung Galaxy sII - GT-I9100 (has root)
Recovery : Philz Touch 3 - CWM Base 6.0.1.8
OS : Jellybean 4.1.2 (stock unbranded)
PCs : Win 7 ent x64, Win 10 ent x64, Win 10 ent x64
I've scoured the forums here and have tried the following to get the usb connection working.
Tried 4 different usb cables across 3 different PCs
Tried with USB debugging on and off
The phone does not have any options to choose the type of USB connection I want (MTP etc)
Tried installing kies and drivers
Tried installing device drivers only (specifically for this model)
Tried installing device drivers (whole package)
Tried switching engineering mode to modem and back to usb through *#7284#
Tried a recovery flashable zip version of twrp 3.0, through Philz (it fails)
Tried cleaning the contacts on the port on the device.
Have stripped out the old device usb port and installed a new one.
Have tried to install mobile odin but it fails to get update (addon package from xda, and will not run)
Have tried various timings of plugging usb into the phone when entering download mode
Have factory reset the phone from OS
Have factory reset the phone from recovery
Have tried clearing the various caches and wiping pretty much everything.
The phone reliably boots into OS, recovery and download modes.
Other android and samsung devices are seen by all the PCs I've tested on
At no point are the PC and the s2 connected
Is there another way to flash twrp to recovery?
Is there another way to flash a complete stock rom including stock recovery, to start from scratch.
What else can I try? Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers P

A safe method to start with. Place twrp-3.0.3-0-i9100-signed.zip and the recovery.img extracted from it and lineage-11-20191223-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip in the SD memory.
Run the current recovery and select the recovery zip or img installation from the external SD memory.
I don't know PhilZ Touch so I don't know where to choose zip or img.
Restart recovery mode and make a backup in TWRP to the external SD memory.
Only then wipe the Cache, System, Data, Dalvik and install ROM.
Many thanks. I'm gonna give that a go this evening. Will report back on how it goes.
I feel like my usb connection woes will disappear if i get a new rom on it.
Cheers.
Manages to update to Philz to version 6 ...I after which I did get the lineage Rom onto the phone but it booted once then went into a boot loop.
I gave up
Thanks for those who helped anyway though.
