Stuck recovery - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was preparing to flash the stock EC05 rom with odin and did a full wipe of everything. But it seems I can't get odin to recognize the phone is plugged in (I can get to download mode, but it never shows up in Odin).
Not I'm stuck in recovery with no backup, and can't do anything.
I also can't get windows7 or adb to recognize the device.
I have the drivers I used when rooting the phone, and they don't seem to work.
Windows says "usb device not reconized... the device has malfunctioned" etc.
I have tried many cables and many computers, and nothing seems to work.
My last resort is to buy yet another cable, one recommended in another thread, but I have already bought a few cables designed for this phone, blackberry, and one just for data.
Is there anything I could flash from recovery to at least allow me to boot?

Have you tried downloading the drivers fresh from Samsung? How about different USB ports? Sounds like bad drivers though. The first time I used Odin, Windows used the drivers I installed plus got some others from Windows update. Took about 10 minutes for it to find my phone.
Which version of Clockwork are you on? If not stock you can go here and flash the EC05 stock ROMS:

Classic sign of bad drivers or a bad cable. Don't waste your time on the stock cable - get another, and plug it into a different port. Reinstall the drivers if you need to.

[Q] 7+ hours troubleshooting

I'm kind of stuck here. I'm not big into flashing roms and stuff.....but had issues with the one ROM I flashed 2 years agao so I thought I'd upgrade to CM10 finally. I flashed it properly using CWM and had a working rom....but forgot todarkside super wipe and to install the gapps.zip. So I thought I'd just do it over again. Everything seemed fine in the reinstallations of all 3.....but when I started the phone up it got stuck on a boot loop on the Cyanogen animation. No big deal....I'll just flash it again. Go into recovery mode.....wipe the data/cache.....it freezes on the cache. Try to flash the rom, cWM , the old rom, anything.......it gets stuck on the first "Installing....." . Not good. Can't do anything in CWM.
So I read a million webpages trying to figure out what to do next......someone else had to have had this problem. Seems like my only option is to go through Odin and flash it there. I make sure I get the USB drivers from Samsung and install those first. The installation goes through no problem......I reboot....and then try to plug in my phone via Download Mode. I make sure I use the USB cable that came with my phone and use a powered port on the back of my computer (XP btw). Windows recognizes it with its usual bull**** fanfare of 3 different notifications......"Found New Hardware!" then it says Found! "MSM8x60" then it says Windows failed to fully install new hardware. In the Device Manager its shown as the "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" with the dreaded yellow exclamation mark on it. I tried uninstalling the drivers....rebooting.....and then reinstalling. No luck. Tried an older driver package.....no luck. I've spent hours trying every combination with no luck. I can't get Windows to recognize it....or more importantly.....Odin to recognize it. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Sorry for my English.
A lot of different things can happen if you are not using the correct version of recovery. The latest recovery doesn't always mean it will flash properly. For example I had to use TWRP 2.6 for 4.3 based ROM and had to roll back to TWRP 2.5 for some other versions of a rom. I don't know which version of CM you are using but maybe try TWRP or another version of CM.

Yeah....that makes sense. But how do I flash a different version of CWM? I can't get the phone detected by Odin.
Resolved.....tried a couple of other PCs....found one that worked

flashing problem

So maybe a month ago I decided to upgrade to nc2 firmware and bootloader so I could use sprint port.
I used mobile odin to flash route66 and all went well until I discovered that I lost root because i didnt install properly. Not easy when your usb doesnt connect to pc! Anyways, i was finally able to root with an apk i found here and got twrp working. Good thing I made a backup. Every time I install a rom it never boots up. Looks like it just turns off. Even if I try to power on it wont do anything but vibrate once. No logo screen or anything
I have to boot to recovery and restore from there. Am I missing something? I get succsesful install but nothing happens after. I tried sprint port and likewise rom. same thing happens
Yeah sorry but that will happen when you update with mobile Odin, you need to update with PC version. Try different cable, usb ports, uninstalling kies, reinstalling drivers, even different computer

[Q] P600 - Unable to load FASTBOOT driver in WIndows

Hello...
First, the environment: P600 32GB US version. Running Windows 8.1 on my laptop, SDK installed fine. ADB drivers working with no problem.
Here's the problem: I was running the stock ROM with root for a very long time, but I decided to try the unofficial port of Cyanogenmod 12. It installed just fine, but in the process it whacked my TWRP installation on the tablet. When I rooted the tablet I had been running Windows 7 and the Samsung drivers worked without any issues, both ADB and Fastboot.
No matter what I try now, I can't get the Fastboot driver to load - the tablet is recognized as a Samsung USB composite device, but Fastboot does not see it and whenever I try to change to most any other driver, the install succeeds but the device can't start (the dreaded Code 10).
Of course, the stock recovery won't let me load anything that isn't signed by Samsung, and I can't find a stock signed image anywhere, so I can't even get back to the stock ROM. And Windows 8.1 on multiple machines seems to be working the same way, so unless I can get the right driver installed and working I can't flash anything from my laptop. Mobile ODIN doesn't support the tablet, Goo.IM Manager installed, but it apparently does not recognize the tablet either, so I can't flash anything on the tablet side, either.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to work short of throwing up a Windows 7 VM and trying that?

Have you tried installing Kies and using the drivers it provides? Or if you already had Kies installed, going to Tools > Reinstall device driver?
Different USB cable?

Thanks. I tried Kies and three different cables as well. Nothing doing. I think because the Knox counter was tripped Kies connects to the tablet and then says it is unsupported and disconnects. ADB driver works fine independently, but when running Kies it does the same thing - connects, recognizes the tablet as a P600 but then disconnects because it is unsupported.
Because of the Knox thing I am pretty sure Samsung will charge me an unspeakable amount to reflash this thing, so I would love to find my own solution.

I doubt this is the issue, the Knox counter has been tripped on my P600 since a week after I got it, and I've taken every firmware update via Kies.
Does it give you this message only when the device is in download mode, or do you get it with the tablet powered up normally?
AFAIK Kies won't recognize your tablet unless it's been started normally with Android running, and if it's still got anything other than a stock ROM on it, that message isn't surprising.
I'm also running Windows 8.1 on both my laptop and desktop and have never had any connection issues
If all you want is TWRP back, have you tried Flashify?

I've been pretty much throwing anything at the problem - I did try Flashify, and it tells me that it does not recognize the device. The tablet boots, it runs fine (no weirdness), I have root but no ability to flash anything.
As far as Kies goes, even when running normally (meaning not in download) Kies tells me the device is unsupported.
My goal is to be able to get to something so I can flash stock in case I decide to sell the tablet. I love it, but it already feels like an orphan and not because of my screwing things up. Kinda feels like Samsung abandoned it not long after release in favor of the Tab Pro line. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

How can I upgrade my G3 to MM or LP? All methods failed.

Please take a look at the Software Information screen shot of my phone. I tried many methods of upgrading to MM or LP by flashing roms but almost all failed. I tried installing TWRP but on boot phone said "Fastboot mode started" on black dos-like screen. But phone was not bricked and I was able to start normally again into Android 4.4.2 by ejecting and reinserting battery. I am not even sure to which country this phone belongs, since its D855 I think its European, so I tried install those stock roms but failed, in a different way for each method.
When I try to update from LG PC Suite, it says that theres an update available for my phone but while trying to install it the software gives error saying phone cable disconnected.
Please help me guys.
try TOT method.
I did try that, didn't work. At the stage where you are supposed to eject USB cable and put it back in for the flashing to start, when I reinsert the cable nothing happens, a fail message shows up.
Try different USB cables, ports, maybe even PC, have you manually installed all PC drivers? What about resetting the phone? Is the phone rooted?
I have tried two different computers, and two different USB cables, however non of the cable were original from LG, one was from Nokia and other from Asus. Drivers are working fine as far as I know since I can see LG Mobile modem option in Device Manager. I think while trying to install TWRP I deleted the recovery so when I try to reset phone, after restarting it goes to a dos-like mode that says "Fastboot mode started". Yes, phone is rooted.
Hello
Are you sure do you have properly installed root? try this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
Then install the TWRP official app and install recovery from the twrp app.
I had successfully rooted the device, a root checker app from store confirmed that device is rooted.
Friends, now my device is completely bricked. I had given it to a friend after I had corrupted its recovery, he tried different stuff and said that partitions are corrupt. Now he said the device is fully bricked, not even turning on. Any chances of making it functional again?

Odin stuck in "SetupConnection...", impossible flash problem in Galaxy S9+ G9650

Odin stuck in "SetupConnection...", impossible flash problem in Galaxy S9+ G9650
I've been trying to install TWRP on my Galaxy S9 + G9650 for several days, but I can't, I even tried to install the original ROM, to see if the problem was TWRP, but without success yet ... I need help with Odin, now I used all versions of it, new and old, I already changed the cable several times, I used the original and other different cables, and even the Micro-USB to Type-C converter and still without success. What should I do now? I really need to ROOT, whether with TWRP or not. I tried to modify the original ROM using the Magisk flash method directly on the ROM, then I tried to install via Odin and still giving the error. I put the images attached to the post.
OEM: Unlocked
USB Debug: Enabled

I've tried another USB port and even another PC, but it still doesn't flash, and the drivers are ok, I have reinstalled them too. And on my Galaxy S3 I managed to flash the Stock ROM and the TWRP on it too, only the Galaxy S9 + that doesn't.
strange problem, is twrp good?
https://dl.twrp.me/star2lte/
I really don't know what to do anymore, maybe someone else will help you with an idea

Yes, i used the correct TWRP for my phone model.
Strange as it may seem, I got it on an old PC, but on two PCs here in my house, an Intel LGA 1155 and another AMD AM4 couldn't, they crashed at SetupConnection, but when I went to my cousin's house and tried on the old PC his, an Intel LGA 775, DDR2 motherboard, Windows 10 64 bits and everything went well, installed normally without any error. I believe that Odin has to have this bug fixed, on the other PCs here at home, even on the USB 2.0 port it didn't work, but as strange as it was, on a PC 10 (or more) years ago it did... Now my device is finally rooted with Magisk and TWRP.
S9+ ODIN stuck at "ConnectionSetup" ?
Has anyone figured out what the issue is yet?
I'm using a 2020 ASUS Vivobook with Windows 10 (64-bit).
I'm trying to flash the G965U1 Unlocked/Unknown Firmware.
I have successfully flashed the same to another S9+ I had, and know the process fairly well.
USB Debug is ON
Used several different Cables.
Rebooted PC
Factory Reset the device.
Reinstalled the Drivers
Reinstalled the Patched ODIN
Tried a different Version of Firmware.
Any thoughts, advice, or revelations?
