My computer won't recognize my gs4. I have the latest drivers installed and have re-installed many times. The only thing it does when I plug it in is charge. It sometimes says windows is searching for the latest driver when I plug it in, but it then it then says it was unplugged. ODIN did manage recognize it once and that was enough for me too root it and then flash the stock kernel back on. My phone then soft-bricked at the padlock after some rom flashing and I had to go to my friends house to flash it back to stock. Is there anything else I can do?
Am I the only one with this problem?
Does it give you the error "USB device not recognized"? If so there are some fixes for it. I fixed my friends when I sold him my S3. His PC did it.
Yes, a couple of times it did that. Now it just does nothing.
If you try and remove the device from your device manager does it do anything?
Right click on computer and go to properties to get to the device manager.
What would it be named? I looked through all the usb stuff and everything else and couldn't find anything that would be my device.

It would be any device with a yellow Triangle and an Exclamation point on it. Also uninstall KIES and your Samsung USB drivers, then reboot. Get updated USB drivers from the S4 link in my signature.
It did the same thing and game me the unknown device thing. It also said that the device malfunctioned. I guess ill just try again.

Ok let's try this fix first.
1. Remove phone from PC and shutdown and remove battery to shut off phone.
2. Plug USB cable into PC and phone.
3. Put battery back in and boot phone but…
4. As the phone boots, hold down Volume up and down and don't let go until you see you are in safe mode on the phone. It should say safe mode on the front screen.
5. This should reboot your phone into download mode and install drivers that are needed.
6. Your PC will indicate and recognize the phone.
7. Now if you check the notification drop down on your phone you should see USB/MTP options there in the notification area. MTP should be checked.
Still no luck. Maybe later I will re-install windows or just re install every driver on my computer.
The other fix to try is listed below.
1. Uninstall any previous instance of Kies/USB driver
2. Download the latest Kies, specific to your S3.
3. Download Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 (I've tried newer versions but they all failed)
4. REBOOT
5. Disconnect from internet (VERY IMPORTANT!!! - forcing Windows to install local drivers ONLY)
6. With the phone disconnected, install Kies + USB drivers downloaded in steps 2,3
7. Connect the phone and let Windows install the drivers.
8. Reestablish the internet connection.

If that doesn't work PM my your system specs IE RAM, CPU, and HDD Space and current OS.
The computer doesn't do anything when I plug the phone in. The only thing that starts to happen is that the phone starts charging.

Send me the PM with the requested info.
I'm not really requesting anymore info. I am just going to re install windows because I have done so much stuff to this install that it is time for a new one.

My experience with the "Device Malfunctioned" thing was due to a bad cable. It would charge, but wouldn't allow me to connect.
You might also try a different USB port on your computer. Often times the connectors on the back of a desktop system, which are hardwired to the motherboard, work more reliably than the front ones.

I have the exact same issue. Flashing stock S124 after (rooted) S223 with SpTools messes something up.
I managed to do a TWRP restore to go back to S221 but I can't use SpTools anymore.
I get the same SpTools error message. Only after pressing the red reset button my phone will then come back to life.

Thanks for your explanation, you seem to be the absolute guru on this site for this device! I think you are right about the preloader being messed up. I tried to install the USB driver (again) for the new device that the computer now sees. It is listed in the device manager as "Unknown Device" under USB controllers. I can't seem to force it to accept new USB drivers for it (Lenovo drivers). It keeps saying that the driver is not compatible with the device. I use Win 7 64bit, could that have something to do with it? Also is it possible to flash a new preloader using TWRP? If I press the reset button on my phone it reboots fine (rooted S221) and I have TWRP installed.

Thanks for the drivers, I am still struggling to make this "Unknown Device" accept other drivers. What was your unrecognised phone called in Device Manager? Was it also "Unknown Device" in the USB section?

Hi. The think was someting like this:
First i installed the .exe file. Reboot PC.
2. I have plugged the phone to the PC and new hardware wizard has appeared.
3. Now i have powered of the phone.
4. Again i have plugged the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Click very fast on it because that will desapear very fast.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.

Hi everyone,
I bought Lenovo A806 from china and wanted to clear the android so I flashed bootloader. After flashing with SP flash tool, phone cannot start.
If I connect it to PC with or without battery, it looks like PC find some device, but in about 30 seconds, it disconnect it and connect again. If I try to flash again, SP tool cannot find the phone.
I don't want to send it to china again, so if someone have any idea, it would be very helpful.
Thank you and Merry Christmas

Hey there I'm having the same problem - every time I run flash tool hit download and connect the phone, nothing happens.
I've tried connecting without battery but doesn't seem to make a difference. When phone is on I can connect the phone and is recognised fine but when I turn it off and connect I can hear it connect and then disconnect after 20sec approx.
Please could you give step by step how you got this to work plzzzzzzzz

And btw wat version of windows running? 7,8,10?
Does somebody have any information or encounter about this? The device is a Blu Energy X Plus 2, a back up phone I wanted to experiment with.
-After unlocking bootloader using ADB, phone got stuck at boot logo.
-I forgot to wipe.
-Device is not yet rooted
-After waiting for minutes I have forced the phone to shut down.
-Volume+Power combo, battery is non removable
-Now it wont turn on and respond to any button.
-It charges, as proven by the red light.
-It is somehow detected by the PC using the VCOM drivers. PC makes a sound and MT65xx PreLoader VCOM appears in the Device Manager.
-SP Flash Tool will not start download. Even tried download before plugging in usb, nothing happens.
-Tried many different flash tools versions. 1628, v5, v3, Nothing works. No error message but an error appears when I plug out the USB cord
-BROM Error: S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL(0x7D5)
Cannot pass bootroom start command! Possibly target power up too early.
Hi , maybe your SP Flash tool is not compatible for your chip , so try this one :
https://spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win.zip
Search firmware exactly for your device model .
You can use IDM -Internet Dowwnload Manager for fast downloading...

I have already tried the 5.1628 version, it is also not working.
The latest version has a bug I think which causes it to have a RUntime error when picking a scatter file.
The old v3 will not accept any scatter file anymore.
Also I have downloaded two versions of stock rom already. First one is 800 mb and the second one is 2GB. Both do not work, but I suspect the first one to completely fail since it had an unmatching scatter file within.
Try this.Hold power button for 2 min if your phone boots up Good News It's usable.If not then It's only crap now.Mediatek devices are not supposed to be rooted and if somehow you managed to do that they will make sure you pay for it.

What's up with VCOM?
Well I don't think your PC would be able to detect your device because you haven't got the VCOM drivers yet. Get any VCOM driver for Mediatek, and then disable driver signature enforcing on Windows. Now fire up SPFT and select the scatter use v5.1628 as the newer ones seem to be unstable (also verified by OP). Now choose the Preloader for your device and then enter download mode. Turn off the phone (if you can't, just let it die until the battery is over). And then connect it using an USB cable, while SPFT is in download mode. You should be able to unbrick your device.
And as you said S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL(0x7D5), that is when the device powers up too early before the flash could begin. The 8 byte token is not received by the preloader and hence it ain't working. This is why you have to switch your phone off completely, and also try using a different USB cable
Note:
The preloader parition has an emergency download mode which is used to enable the download to take place. Now, if you flash the wrong preloader, then your device won't even be detected in SPFT or anywhere else. So yeah, in MTK preloader is the life of your phone. Please verify that you are flashing the correct preloader

Tried everything here, and I even used a windows 7 pc but it is still not working. The VCOM was already installed, in fact when I plug in the phone windows automatically detects it as the MTK Preloader VCOM USB port(COM13) in the device manager. The VCOM driver that is supposed to be installed leaves an error in the device manager (COM12). SP Flash tool still will not start flashing. No error messages, until I plug out the usb cord.

Looks like it's more of a Windows issue than your phone. If your preloader's good - you're safe. I think it's a COM bridge issue. Just stay on the wait and I'll get back to you in a minute or two

I mean the COM13 is fairly OK for the part, its the VCOM that comes from installing the phone. However the COM12 that came from the manual installer had the exclamation point.

Okay - the first thing that we'd do now is blow off those crappy drivers - uninstall them! Now get on your Windows 10 x64 PC. Install the VCOM drivers from this XDA thread. It's for elephone, however I've used it myself and it works really well on almost any device. Now power off your phone completely (no bootlooop, completely dark screen). Launch SPFT, select scatter, select the correct preloader and then hit on download. Do not connect your phone now! Now wait for 10 seconds. Now connect your phone. And let the download begin. If it works - fantastic, if it doesn't ping me back and I'll be waiting for replying to you. The batch script is almost done (I was doing some kernel work), I'll upload it once I'll be back home (on the way back now).
Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

Dude holy ****, I cannot believe that it worked! I swear I was very confident that the problem was not in the drivers, but out of luck I started to follow that guide again from start to finish and selected the "MTK USB Port" in the device manager section. Then I plugged in and SP flash tool finally started! You rock!
Your welcome! I'm glad that worked!
