Odin issues - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so i got odin to work for me a while back. I tried to do a friends phone tonight and it keeps telling me device not recognized when its in download mode. How would it work on mine and not his? I went throught his when i first did mine, and got it to work by shutting the phone down and plugging it in for about 30 seconds or so then going to d/l mode while still plugged in. All of a sudden it recognized my phone, installed more drivers, and i was able to flash away. Now with his phone, no matter what i try it doesnt recognize his phone.
Strange enough though, with odin open and his phone booted normally, i plugged it in, and odin said "added", then when i unplugged it, it said "removed". So odin found it while booted, but its not recognized when in d/l mode. Any suggestions?

This^^^^^^^^^ I have 2 phones, all of a sudden one would connect and the other wouldn't. I went into device manager on my computer and under samsung android (while bad phone was on) hit update drivers. It took like 20 minutes to find and load them all but it works now. Wierd thing is one phone shows up as F and the other as E on drives...but the moral is every phone is different.

Can't connect epic touch to pc (neither usb storage or download)

It worked about 2 weeks ago however when i try to connect my phone now it wont recognize. Ive tried 3 different cables and two different computers. Ive also reinstalled the drivers many times. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

OK, basic troubleshooting:
1) Does it charge when you plug in power? (If so the port should be working on the phone.)
2) Does it show anything at all when you plug into the PC?
3) Did you check Device Manager and notice if any devices are disabled or showing as unknown?
1 basic question: what are you running (Stock, custom rom)?

Mb you should start fresh with SFHUB's EL29 w/ root. Probably an issue with AOKP. Or if you don't want to do all that maybe you can try a different kernel and see if that works.
Thats a good idea, but how would you go about doing that without using a pc? I cant get my computer to recognize the phone in download mode

GS3 doesn't know it's hooked to PC

So I plug my phone into my computer and it doesn't realize it's connected. It charges, but I can't access the storage from my computer. The USB debugging doesn't even come up anymore.
I've tried 2different computers and 3 different USB cables. Tried multipled ROMs and stock. Reinstalled drivers. Restarted PC. No go. It was working fine up until yesterday.
I'm probably going to get it exchanged since it's still within the return window, but does anyone have any ideas?
Download the driver's again worked for me

Yeah, I tried that also. No go. Thanks.
I'm having the same problem. It just stopped working today after I restored from a Nandroid backup. I was on the AOKP rom, then restored back to the stock rom. I'm going to try to re-install the drivers.
I got mine working. Removed and re-installed the Samsung drivers. I then restarted the phone with it attached to my PC and it recognized it after that. I also reformatted the cache storage in "Mounts & Storage" in CWM. That didn't do anything initially but could have helped, I'm not sure.
This happens to me occasionally. Pulling the battery seems to fix it for me.
Did you by chance use QPSt to backup your IMEI? If so you need to set usb settings back to MTP

OH! That was it for me Tysvm
Awesome glad I could help. And between you and I, I did the same thing and took a bit to realize. Lol. Maybe the OP did same thing. Will see
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Going back to MTP wasn't enough, I had to pull the battery, even after rebooting the phone. Had been prepping to backup my IMEI #, so that was obvious the root cause though.
Battery pull worked. Thanks guys

mine was doing that as well and all I did was install an updated version of Kies and now it works.

Driver problem every time

Every time I want to use Odin I have to uninstall the Samsung driver and re install it, then plug my phone in while it's on to instal the drivers, then unplug, shut my phone off and plug back I'm to get Odin to recognize my phone. Why is that?
Also before they installed as Samsung lte drivers, this time they weren't.

I keep getting the Samsung USB cdc failed. Now I can't even get that, I get unknown driver, or even mxl86 driver failed or something like that. I don't understand. Now every time I try to go into Odin mode it hours into twrp or reboots.

Use usbdeview and remove all your samsung drivers that way. This will completely remove everything that was installed to each usb port that relates to your phone.
Uninstall the drivers too.
Now restart the computer for good measure.
Install the drivers.
Plug in your phone to the computer with it on and leave it there for a good 5-10, go run a mile or something.
You should have all the green checks.
Hopefully that helps

[Q] Please help!!!

Everytime i try to copy anything over to my phone from my laptop i get an odd message saying "the device has either stopped responding or has been unplugged." Ive tried restarting my comp, restarting my phone, i switched USB cords, i switched the USB outlet i was plugged into, i tried unchecking and rechecking USB debugging, reinstalling the LG drivers. i tried everything. Please someone help...

The message your getting has me baffled, but usually it's the cord. It still could, be even though you tried a different one. Another option might be to try different lg drivers.

I used 3 different cords. Amd i swapped out the drivers too. I dunno what to do. I'm so pissed.

There's 3 different version drivers here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35520144. Maybe you've tried them all I don't know. If you have adb installed... does it recognize your phone?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yup, recognizes my phone fine. I was able to root and unlock just fine. And i can copy from phone to comp but not comp to phone... so weird.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Very weird. When you plug in the USB cord, have you tried both media and camera options? In that dropdown menu...I can't remember what they're called.
I just remembered, I did have a similar issue, but I was running Linux.

You say adb works just use adb push. It would be adb push (file on your computer) /sdcard (note: do not use parenthesis when running the command)
P.S if it says sdcard is a directory use /sdcard/download.

this is plaguing me as well. tried several different cords/drivers - I just got this phone and have not been able to mount it.. its a replacement phone. It does not mount in recovery, either (it hangs on 'updating partition details') and it fails when I try to Partition it

Rooting without USB

I recently got a used T-Mobile S 2 and just tried to root it. The computer will not see the phone when I hook it up to the USB. I've tried the Odin method and it won't even register it's plugged in. I've installed and reinstalled kies 3 times and I've even tried just installing the drivers by themselves. Is there a way to root the phone without having to use the USB? I'm guessing the USB connector on the phone is bad even though it's charges just fine.

If it charges ur fine, is the device in DL mode? What is the procedure u are using, with this phone the only way to root it is Odin, or maybe adb but I'm not sure, and if u have kies installed on ur pc Odin won't see the phone I repeat remove kies, once ur rooted u will never use it again anyway kies interferes with Odin, make sure u have the OEM USB cord too...

I'm using the volume up+down with the power button to access the download screen with Odin and it never reads that the phone is plugged in. I've uninstalled Kies and still doesn't work. Now I've noticed that I can only go into the e3 recovery mode.

So the phone accesses doenlode mode? Try holding just the vol+vol- buttons and plugging it in to the USB while connected to PC, that should put u in DL mode, if not it might be ur port, have u tried all other ports and different usb wires? Sorry if my questions are trivial but I need all the info if I'm going to help

Yeah I've tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers. I'm leaning towards the USB Jack. I took the phone apart and found corrosion on the board towards the bottom so it looks like the phone has some water damage.

Thats most likely ur culprit then, it may be just corroded enough to not hit the right pins to push data through odin, u could try to replace the USB com, u can get one for around 30bucks online and its an easy fix if u have a lil knowledge, the bad news is without it rooting is next to impossible ...

I mean if u don't want to try the fix u could try rooting it through wireless adb but that's a long shot at best, just started using wireless adb an not even sure if its possible to root it like that but u could look into it...
