Hello there,
I am in the throws of trying to root my S6 edge (want to play using Magisk etc), but something just never happens when I try to do this through Odin.
I have the phone connected, everything seems fine with the file I am trying to use as an image, but nothing happens on the phone end at all. I get Succeeded 0 / Failed 0 as a response in Odin.
I have the drivers from Samsung installed. I even installed Kies. And I think this is where the problem is. I don't think the phone is being recognised. I have debug mode over USB on, but I just think the phone isn't being found by Odin.
Do any of you have some tips for me?

Please be sure that Kies is not running (even not in background) when you run Odin. It won't work then.
In the past I only installed Kies to get the Samsung drivers installed. Afterwards, I immediately uninstalled Kies in order to have no trouble with Odin, and anyway if I've Odin I've no personal need for Kies.

I didn't have Kies installed the first time, and nothing worked. But even with Kies, I still can not get the PC to recognise any device. It is frustrating, because as far as I can see I have done everything right.
No matter what I do, I can not get the S6 to appear in Odin at all.
Further to this, despite having the drivers installed from Samsung, freshly today, the USB fails to be recognised (this is the issue). So I need to work out how to overcome this. Any suggestions?
More precisely, in the Device Manager, under USB, the failed USB states: "Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)".
*Update*
I did a factory reset on the S6 and still, no good. The device doesn't want to connect to any port in any computer with any cable.

How do you try to install the USB drivers?
I used KIES for installing the phone drivers initially to my PC (also running on XP).
Then I closed KIES and killed any process of KIES in Task Manager to make sure, that KIES is no longer running/active.
Since then I can use/access my phone directly by the Windows Explorer, flash ROMs and/or kernels with Odin, etc..
Good luck !

By kies. But after installation of kies, it's still fail to detect my phone with CDC serial and android driver missing. Then I try the USB driver from kies folder,but it will keep giving me "mobile connected " error, despite I fully clean kies and relevant device installed before proceed.
However this problem only occur for newer version of kies. I have no problem installing older driver (USB driver version 1.3.450, but the older version doesn't support s2 )
I have a s 2 i flashed a Lightening rom XWEK7 and it worked fine all day until a hour ago when my phone froze and restarted it self and now it wont recognize being plugged in it will go into download mode on the phone but still wont come up on the computer end. And is currently not going past the screen that says " Samsung Galaxy S 2 GT - 19100 and the yellow triangle at the bottom.
Need help ASAP as is my work phone.
The main thing is you can get into download mode. Get stock firmware from here if your carrier is listed, if not get country specific firmware here and flash that in Odin.
Edit - I just re-read your post & realised your PC won't recognise your phone. Uninstall/reinstall Kies so you have the drivers in place for Odin to recognise the phone (drivers might be corrupt ?). Make sure you kill off Kies in task manager before you attempt to flash stock firmware in Odin. If you find the PC still won't recognise your phone try a different USB cable/different USB ports (I know there's only one port on my laptop Odin works on), failing that try a different PC/different version of Windoze. And if all that doesn't work, you might want to try Heimdall. Search the forum, plenty of posts on how to use it (never used it myself so I can't guide you in the use of same).

Follow this, and the phone will live again
As the title says, Kies no longer sees/detects my phone. Did the sammfiles/rooted update to my phone via odin and Kies wouldn't see the phone. Wiped the phone and forced an update via Kies with model number/serial number and afterward Kies still would not detect my phone. Any ideas?
Edited to remove the "task rom" comment. Got my devices mixed up

Have you tried to turn off debugging in the development section?
Yeah. Tried that. It's no biggie tho since I can still force updates if needed. Thanks for the reply.
Removing/Freezing/Uninstalling/Disabling etc... bloatware causes Kies not to work.
Installing CWM also causes Kies not to work. Because, in short, CWM replaced the factory recovery
I find that if I plug my USB cable into different ports on the front of my computer I get different results.. Might be worth a shot to try if you have more than 1 to choose from.
"Device Not Supported by Kies 2.0"
I've a similar problem. I ran Kies yesterday for the first time since the ICS update back in April and it began to update to a new version. After which it says, "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0"?! I've uninstalled and re-installed about 8 times today even the Samsung USB drivers and nothing! What's going on?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

it wouldn't work while i was rooted with gingerbread. i returned to stock and it worked fine. after that i was able to root after update thanks to creepyncrawly from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181 and it works fine now. if you go this route make sure to read the whole thread first. you have to get another kernal before wiping or you can brick your phone. im using siyah-v3.4.3-nonswap by ktoonsez and so far so good. not sure if you have to update to ucle5 for it to work but thats what i did. i havent had a chance to try other roms. hope this helps a little

For me. This is what worked. First go into device manager (on computer obviously)and remove the phone drivers currently installed.Next turn off usb debugging. Then plug your phone in to a different usb port. Let it do it's thing. Unplug, turn on usb debugging, plug back in.Let it do it's thing unplug. Reboot into cwm recovery, plug in. Let it do it's thing. Unplug. Turn off usb debugging. Boot up phone. Plug in. Profit. At least this is what fixed it for me.Good luck. Happy flashing.

I am trying to root my SGS3 international via Odin. The problem is that when I connect it to the computer in download mode, nothing happens. The device is not detected and the drivers are not being intalled. Worst of all ID : Com does not turn blue/yellow and the device is not added to Kies.
I have installed Kies, separate driver packs, I have tried different cables, different usb ports (on and off the mainboard of the PC), I have googled the problem for hours and still cannot figure it out.
Any advice?

You might have the same issue as I had.. I flashed a new firmware via Mobile Odin Pro.
Drivers shoudnt be installed when phone is in download mode but when its connected to the computer.. Before or after KIES is installed.
Did it work? Does anything happen at all?

Thank you for your reply.
I thought of that myself. But in order for me to use Mobile Odin Pro, I nedd to get root and in order to get root, I need to use Odin to flash the root files.
Nothing happens at all when the phone is connected to the computer in download mode. If the phone is booted in android, the drivers begin to install and Odin sees the phone (needless to say, I cannot flash while in Android mode). When I reboot in download mode, nothing happens.
have you made sure kies isn't running in the background? You need to kill all kies processes before using Odin or it may interrupt your flash. Aside from that you could uninstall kies and drivers and just try inhaling the drivers on their own? Which Windows version are you using? Xp can be problematic
Any idea whatsoever would be welcome

have seen a few reports of defective cables, but more likely a server problem or port problem, try a Google or search the threads as there have been quite a few posts regarding this matter, unfortunately I haven't got any links to hand

it does if u install software and later u have to connect ur device via download mode. it detects ur phone in download mode
August 2012 post you searched and replied to very very strange .
Hi all. So I just picked up a Verizon Note 2 today and happily looked forward to rooting it. I'm on 4.1.2 Jellybean VRAMC3, model number SCH-I605. I'm afraid I may have messed something up.
I had downloaded Odin and installed the Samsung USB drivers and all that good stuff. Odin picked up the phone and all that, but a bit more looking around seemed to indicate that the usual Odin method of rooting wouldn't work on the latest version that I had.
So I downloaded the CASUAL installer and got that to run. It ran through the install, rebooted the phone, and then said it was waiting for Windows to recognize the device again so that it could continue with the install.
At that point, Windows informed me that a driver install had failed and the CASUAL install did not proceed any further, despite waiting a good 5-10 minutes.
Since doing this, the phone has had bizarre USB connection issues. Odin and Kies do not read the phone at all. Plugging the phone in brings up an additional drive for about two minutes with a Verizon Assistant Manager EXE, a USB Drivers EXE, and a couple other things, then it disappears.
The phone will often display a message informing me "Unable to find software on your PC that can recognize your device." This happens regardless of being in USB Debugging mode or not.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several versions of Samsung's drivers as well as Kies. I also tried a factory reset on the phone itself, but these connectivity issues (and accompanying warning messages) persist.
Not sure how to proceed from here and would love a bit of help. Thanks!
Additional notes: All normal functions of the phone are working fine, and the computer DOES detect the phone as a "Samsung Android Device", but as stated Odin and Kies are not able to detect/connect with it.
Update: Messed with drivers a bit more and Odin will now pick up the phone again. When the phone disappears as a "drive" with install helper stuff, it reappears as a portable device, and I can browse the innards of the phone to put music and other stuff on it. CASUAL however still does not pick up the phone.
