Odin not working.

Can anybody help me out really quick? I was trying to go to the latest MIUI from CM7 and of course whatever happened happened, now I have to ODIN back However, I'm trying to use ODIN3 v1.30 GT-P1000, victory_8G_100528.pit, Deodexed-Rooted-CWM-Busybox-EH06.tar, but the computer won't discover my phone while it's in download mode.
YES, I HAVE DRIVERS INSTALLED!

Hope you got about 5 cable, cuz that's what I go through everytime. Also I go to 2 computers and about 10 usb ports, then something will work.

What do you mean 5 cable? Man this used to be a breeze, I used to use my moms Windows and it was so simple, but her laptop decided to totally die out on me, so now I can't do anything.

Use the Odin3 v.1.85 .zip file in this thread, it will work.

Alright, is there any alternative I can use instead of ODIN? Because I've used 2 wires, and 3 USB Ports, reinstalled drivers, and nothings working.

You could try hemindal, or how ever you spell that. The odin alternative. It's in the development section somewhere.

Gah! I don't know how to use that. Anything else guys?

make sure you're not using a pit with that file you're flashing, too, i don't think u need it with that specific file. try your old cables this way first before u try another cable, and try the usb ports on the back of your computer. and one more thing, i'm pretty sure heimdall is just for apple.

My problem is that the laptop won't detect the phone from download mode.

maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers on your laptop, and try a new cord, the one that came with the epic was notoriously crappy.
edit: redownload them from sammy, just to be sure...

If you can get into a recovery you can try installin srf 1.2 and do a proper shutdown. This has usually fixed this issue for me

Have u tried booting into recovery?

Odin will only recognize your phone on 1 port, usually the first port you used that installed the drivers. Try every port. If you want to try Heimdall go into Development at the top in the stickies in the thread about How to fix a semi-bricked Epic. Post 2 is all about how to use Heimdall.

Ummm I think I know what your going through if I remember one of the cm7 builds my pc wouldn't recognize my phone either. I have a thick black berry cable and it always works and detects except for. That situation you need to pull sd card plug into sd adapter to plug into pc put a flashable of some rom since your on rfs I would say try the newest cm7 even if it doesn't boot maybe it will bring back your usb to pc connectivity. Since your on rfs don't flash srf1.2 cuz your phone won't boot you would have to do srf1.1

Try dialing ##8778# and putting the phone on pda or modem under the USB section.. I don't remember what one worked for me, I think it was modem. But mess with those settings. Hope it helps.

Whenever I have a problem it is always the cable, the port or the computer itself. I just try varying combinations until I get it to pick it up, if it is just the initial recognition I don't see how it can be anything else

I've had my system USB drivers corrupt before. Try getting drive sweeper and look up how to do a reinstall of those drivers (not the samsung drivers).

I tried odin3 v1.85 -worked for me, where earlier Odin v1.3 would not recognize the phone (Epic) while in download mode.

Can you get to CWM with 3-finger boot? May be easier to go that route...
Other thing I've run into when Odin doesn't want to work is you need reboots after each stage like this:
Uninstall drivers
Reboot
Install drivers
Reboot
Open Odin and then connect phone in download mode.
If I skip the reboots, many times it won't recognize phone.

Urgent Help needed, USB not being recognized!

I'm looked everywhere but nothing. Please help if you can.
I was on BeastMOD2.5 then some things on the phone were not working (Tmobile S2) so I called in and they shipped me a replacement. I used this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323878) to restore it back to stock and unroot the phone and it worked besides one problem, I still got the synergy kernel gray screen at bootup, so as of now, i'm at stock, unrooted just with that synergy kernel screen. I looked it up and found the ODIN stock way to get it back so I tried that way, but now everytime I hook the USB to my computer to try to ODIN it, it always says USB not recognized (I've tried searching for fixes: clean USB, reinstall drivers, reinstall Klies, other computers, other USB cord, other USB ports but nothing).
I just need to get that synergy kernel screen off from bootup, but now that I cannot hook up the phone to any computer, what should I do? Is there a wireless option I have? Is there a way to brick the phone to where it won't even boot up when tmobile gets it back that they wouldn't even know? thing is it will also charge using a computer, but the computer won't recognize it (im done the whole settings USB options as well)
Please help, thanks guys.

any ideas?

does it recognize it in adb if usb debugging is enabled?

Did you try pulling the battery for 30 seconds?

I've tried that and i've tried this on 4 PC's and my usual Mac that I use to transfer files but no luck.
I also tried the debugging mode but nothing as well. Ill try for a couple more days with random things but since the rom is stock and everything is basically like out the box status if I were to return it with the synergy kernel screen on bootup, what would tmobile say even though everything is stock even the kernel?

Hey Buddy, there had been a few of us that has had the same problem.
For some reason, after you restored your phone back to stock, you still have the Synergy Logo when turn on and you lose your USB drivers, somehow, I don't know why. I tried so many ways for my computer to locate my phone, but after so many hours of looking, I gave up. Sold my phone to my friend and got another one.
Lesson learn. Someone should look into a solution for this problem
Thanks.

This is good to know for anyone that is looking to restore phone back to stock.
So I'm guessing people should install stock kernel first via Odin and then flash stock rom/recovery.
Maybe this will take care of Synergy logo.
What steps did you take?

+1 From the posts Ive read the people that have had this issue have used the zedomax flash. Safest bet for anyone looking to go back to stock should stick with the odin method. I think there should be a warning in the index thread next to the [HOWTO] [ROM] How to Unroot SGH-T989 Painlessly link about the usb issue and also the kernel boot image even thou if people would just read the whole thread they would see that others have already reported the kernel image issue......

Returning the phone with that would land you an out if warranty fee

If you flash this stock kernel zip before you flash the easiest unroot method ever it will give you stock kernel and remove any custom kernel logo.

yeah but is was too late to know that, so there's no way we can use the samsung recovery mode with the install from SD option?

Is your recovery stock. ? If its not you can always put it your sd card and flash it that way.

[Q] will sprint exchange my phone if its rooted

I wanted to know if sprint will exchange my phone if its rooted with a custom rom (calkilum rom) i want to exchange it b/c my usb port is not working. my phone doesnt know when its connected to the computer. so just keeps on charging doesnt give me the opting to put it on usb mass storage..

I highly doubt it.
You can always download a stock ROM directly on the phone... unless you need Odin to flash it, I guess.
Try to find a stock ROM and, as long as you can get into your recovery, you should be good to go.
Plug your phone in while on wifi and download ;P

That is a problem with the ROM. Go to settings, Wireless and Networks, and choose USB Utilities and Connect storage to PC.

i want to go complety stoch tho.. do you know if there is a way going stock with out using odin? any feed back would help

Completely stock maybe not but you can put a stock repack on the microsd using a reader and then flash that so atleast the build looks right. The modem version may be of some concern as well if its not EK02 id look and see if you can cwm flash it?

I was able to get my phone exchanged for the same thing.
This thread here explains what my phone was doing.

They knew I was rooted but this was clearly a hardware issue not a software issue.

When u say u were rooted did your phone turned on with u full yellow triangle with custom rom and recovery?? or did u use a jig???

Have you tried a different USB cable?
I had a problem like this on my old Samsung Captivate.. It ended up being the USB cable.
Also, does ODIN recognize your phone in Download mode (Vol. Down + Power)?
Lastly, try and mount USB storage from CWM recovery (Vol. UP + Power), and see if that works?
If not, try re-flashing the latest Rogue kernel through CWM and try mounting USB storage again.

I had no problems exchanging my rooted Evo with a custom boot screen at their repair center in Florida.
My issues were hardware related though, so that may make a difference.

Download Mode Not working?(CM9 Alpha 2)

i was trying to flash back to gingerbread with odin but my pc no longer recognizes the phone when it's in download mode. Never had a problem with this until i flashed CM9 Alpha 2? Am i the only one with this problem ? is there another way i can go back to gb ?

Check drivers and cable. I can almost guarantee that CM9 Alpha 2 didn't break download mode.
Just to verify ... and because I'm bored at work ... I'm on CM9 A2 and using odin to go back to el29 as we speak. No problems with pc recognizing the phone.
As for another way to go back ... no, you'll definately need odin.

Use mobile Odin to flash back to stock also buT can almost guarantee that it won't fix it...I could go into download from cm9 also ...something else with your setup ....drivers or USB probably

I'm pretty sure it is not my cable because i use it for when i'm charging my phone and it works perfectly fine. when i connect it to my pc, the computer makes a sound but nothing happens. The notification light on my phone turns on but that's about it, it doesn't even charge when connected to my pc.

i've been trying to use mobile odin but whenever i select the stock rom it says partition not found? a little help.

To tell you the truth it might sound like a faling usb port. My friend had the same problem with his phone. First it would not connect to transfer data then eventually it would not even charge but in his case the notification light came on as well just nothing else happened.

USB power and AC charging are separate lines. You could have nicked the usb and still be able to charge the device.
The fact that you can charge doesn't have any bearing on your ability to use any USB functionality. Only using the same cord on another device completely rules that out.
Have you installed any drivers or software on your computer since the last time you used odin?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

well like i said before odin worked perfectly fine before i installed cm9. But i'll try installing the drivers. You guys are probable right though I could have nicked the usb and still be able to charge the device. I just want to go back to Stock Gingerbread (el29) just to see if it was CM9 that was causing the problem or if i really did nick the usb port. Can any of you help me with Mobile odin ?

Look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
You just need to download EL29 tar file and put it on your sd card, then in mobile odin choose open file and it will look at the file in your external or internal sd card, once it locates it you hit flash and you should be back to stock roooted el 29

i tried and tried but it just keeps saying " partition not found in file"

are I using the one click self extract....or a tar file

[Q] Help Flashing Back To Stock

I recently upgraded to the S5 and wanted to turn my phone back in to Sprint for a credit. When I went to flash it back to stock using Odin the USB connected then randomly disconnected during the flash. Now it won't boot into anything but emergency mode and wont stay connected in Odin long enough to flash. I made sure the drivers installed and the pc could see the phone when plugged in. I am using a cord that is only a couple of weeks old. At this point are there any options to put it back to stock or am I out of luck? I never used Kies either. Thanks in advance for the help.

I've tried about three different cables, all three USB ports and the only other laptop is a Windows 8 machine I can't get to detect the phone at this point. So it is sounding like my suspicions are confirmed on a successful flash. Thank you for the advice, love the signature btw!
