Cant get odin to work for me

Just recently running eg22 gingerbread leak, everything is working perfect but now I want to update my modem currently on (eco5). Everytime I go into download mode it doesn't read in odin for some reason?..does anybody have a ideal or possible solution because I really want to upgrade it!

Try another usb cable. Try re installing drivers

Odin mostly only works in the same usb port you installed the drivers on. Try each port, uninstall/reinstall the drivers and reboot, get a better cable. Also search. There is already about a hundred threads exactly like this.

Been having issues with my laptop, running Win7. This is the laptop I have loaded every ROM since I started tweaking my device.
Lately I have had to uninstall my device from the device manager, go into download mode and plug in the USB, then do a scan for new hardware in device manager. Odin will then recognize the phone and I can run.

Yes I understand that but everyone has different ways on how theirs wa reslove every bit on if helps. Mind works fine when phone on,in download mode it says device malfunction and tryed with 3 different cables(shrug) :/

Make sure you do a proper shut down, I have NEVER had issues with odin til eg22. I practically shat myself trying multiple computers that I know worked but to no avail. All my computers said device malfunctioned. I reinstalled drivers but nothing worked.
The problem was I had pulled the battery while in clockworkmod and went into download mode. I reproduced this later it does not recognize if you pull battery from cwm on eg22.
The solution was as easy as going into cwm doing a backup/wipe and install a fresh srf 1.2 and booting it up then proper shutdown and go into download mode and BAM it recognizes. Hope this works

Always is drivers and cables.

I would give the following option (and this is only if your comfortable):
Try installing a VM software, for example virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org), install a fresh copy of Windows XP, Vista or 7 (what ever you have a license for) and start fresh from there to:
- Install Epic Drivers (Reboot VM)
- Install phone drivers (connect the usb cable while phone is on and with usb debugging is checked and let it install, then reboot the VM)
- Place the phone in download mode and connect it to the VM, let the drivers install.
Load odin, image files and pit to the VM and proceed to do the download from there, it should work unless something is really wrong with your phone.
Let us know if this helps.

Lol i came acrossed that earlier,and with you being one of the mosts respected guys in our forums im going to take you advices and learn more about that program!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Heimdall is much better for recognizing your device and loads it's own drivers. You need to use 7zip to disassemble the tar files into seperate components and place them in their appropriate spots. I heard the newer version can use the full tar. Haven't checked it out yet. The best thing is you can install another recovery and modem when flashing.

[Q] odin problem

I'm trying to flash a new modem with odin v.1.85. I have all the drivers installed, have restarted computer, pulled battery, new usb cord, and odin won't read my phone. It will read it while my phone is turned on, just not in download mode for some reason. I'm not quite sure what i am doing wrong, I've used odin before but it's been awhile. Any guesses as to what is goin on would be appreciated. After multiple searches I haven't found any answers.

Did you try all the usb ports on the computer? Try it with the battery in and see what happens. Its definitely your computer.

Thanks. tried all but one usb port. i'll give it another go. tried it with battery in and out
*edit* tried all. nothin works. i do have a gadget serial error under the device manager it looks like. any ideas?

can i use mobile odin for this and skip the computer part all together?

Mobile odin doesn't work on our phone yet... so no... give me a second.. what drivers did you install? I'm going to link you the ones I always use... they've always worked. Also if you have any other phone drivers unistall them and install the ones I link. Once you've unistall the others restart the pc and install the new ones.

[SOLVED] Galaxy SIII recovery issue

Hello,
Let me start off by saying if this is the wrong place to post this please inform me of the right forum.
I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy SIII (on August 29) and everything was working really well, until today. Yes it is rooted. I plugged the phone into my computer and Kies said there was a firmware update for my phone. I began doing the upgrade and my beloved windows computer got the blue screen of death during the actual update process.
After restarting my computer, I began to do the update recovery to continue with my upgrade. Same blue screen. I spoke to a rogers tech rep and he requested I re-install my Kies software, which I did. Upon having no success from that I began to do more research, however most of them are saying to reflash the stock firmware (which I have) using ODIN. I have no success here as well. Every time i do get into download/recovery mode, ODIN recognizes my phone, but fails when i click start.
In my recovery mode the information i see is as follows:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-1747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Is there anything at all I can do to fix this? Or am I one of those most unfortunate people who just got screwed lol.
ANY assistance is VERY MUCH appreciated!
Thanks in advance

If you have clockwork recovery, try formatting the system first then flash the ROM. Just dont reboot without flashing the ROM first.
Have you tried the emergency firmware load through KIES?

thank you for the quick reply! sorry for my late one, just got home from a family emergency...
no I don't have CWM.. I'm very familiar with it though I didn't put it on my SIII (i was planning to do so tonight)
I've tried the emergency firmware, however it asked for a code which I don't have :S
I'm new to Samsung's version of Android, previously I owned an Xperia X10

I flashed a rom (yes it was for the proper device) and I followed everything step by step. My phone went into a bootloop where it vibrates and the samsung logo pops up then it turns off and starts over again. I turned off the phone and tried to go into recovery mode but it just shows the TWRP screen and then go into the bootloop again. I also tried going into download mode to odin back to stock but my device isn't even recognized even after installing kies. what can i do???

What model device do you have?
What rom did you flash?
What rom did you start with?
Did you recently flash anything else?
What steps did you follow when you flashed?

I have the T-mobile SGH-T999. I was flashing the latest version of universe s4 for the sgh-t999 and i was coming from stockorama_v2, i had not recently flashed anything either. I went into recovery (TWRP), did a factory reset and then flashed universe s4 and got stuck in a bootloop. I've flashed a bunch of times before but never had this happen =/ now my device isn't even recognized even after installing the drivers....

remove your battery and try to get into recovery, wipe everything, try to reflash, then wipe again. might help not sure. but if you can get into download mode for your device to be recognizable i think you have to uninstall the kies drivers

Instead of trying to flash cwm, try flashing the root66 firmware.

Also, uninstall kies and the drivers. Then try one of the driver versions in my sig.
If you have kies installed that may be causing odin problems.

Ok guys so after removing and reinstalling the drivers on my laptop for about 4 hours straight I finally got the device to be "recognized" and I was able to flash back to stock with Odin.

Reinstall the drivers for this device, a simple google can give you following information:
This is a Windows device driver error. As device drivers can be used anytime your computer is trying to use a hardware resource, it can be difficult to tell which process is causing the error. If you notice the error when trying to do a specific task, identifying the source of the problem may be easier. For detail, see error.info/windows/driver-18.html

rooting pro 8.4

Hi,
Im having real trouble trying to root my galaxy tab pro 8.4. I just cant get odin to see the tablet or my friends note 3. I have done everything the tutorials say. but not. It doesnt go blue so i cant flash.
I have rooted before but went back to normal rom from sammobile. I would like to root again but just get odin to work. Can anyone help or is there another way to do it.
Thanks

Try another cord? Another computer? Do you have drivers installed? Does your computer recognize your tablet - can you see what is on your internal/external drives?

Tried another cord and computer but yes the pc can see the what's on it etc

What version of Odin are you using? Try re-downloading Odin? Are you running Odin as administrator (right click on Odin icon and select run as administrator)

Tried them all and nothing. Just won't see my galaxy pro tab or note 3.yes right admit.

Did you install Kies 3?
However, you have to close Kies before running Odin.

I have installed kids, and un installed it as I read they conflict
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Free mobile app

They don't conflict. I rooted my Tab Pro 8.4 with Odin 3.09 while having Kies 3 installed. Maybe when you uninstalled Kies it uninstalled the drivers, too?
I'd reinstall Kies and then reboot. Then try again with Odin.

Cheers, tried all that sees nothing. When the tab is on in odin it shows as com 5 as soon as I put it in recovery mode, nothing. Very odd. Really want to put a custom rom on as I hate touch wiz

Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring here - I'm having the exact same problem with a Tab 10.1.
I've tried everything the OP mentions with no success. It just simply seems that Odin (3.7, 3.9. 3.10) is incapable of seeing the tablet on ADB, even though it sees it instantly in normal boot.
