I'm able to get into download mode but the computer doesn't recognize it at all.. I've tried all ports and 3 different USB cords. I have no recovery so download mode is my only option. When I attempt to boot into recovery, I get a "[Phone]...!...[Computer]" logo.
I don't think it's bricked because I'm able to get into download mode, it's just not recognized. I've tried a different computer.

My friend recently bricked her phone by installing the wrong kernel. Is there anyway I might be able to help her fix this? I put the phone into download mode and tried to connect to odin but it doesnt seem to find the phone. Are there any other ways to fix this? Any info would be highly appreciated.
DL the drivers reboot and try again. Try a different cable. If you can into DL mode its gonna be ok
I agree try downloading the drivers and flash a stock kernel. DL mode usually means no brick.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337 Go here for the drivers needed for odin to work.

Uninstall and reinstall kies. You can flash the stock Tom via Odin and then re root

I was following the forum below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321811
to get my rooted stock Tmobile Galaxy S2 back to un-rooted stock so i could update to the OTA update as i need the wifi.
Upon following the first ODIN command i got a failed and so i unpluged the phone and tried to re-ODIN and all it would do is stay at connecing or something similar.
I pulled the battery and tried to enter download mode again and I am unable to turn the phone on or enter download mode.
Ideas?
when i change the usb cable to a different plug on PC the PC then will attempt to install driver but the phone never show the download screen and the PC says unalbe to install driver.

I had installed the drivers already with Kies
Hey all,
I am running cm9 alpha 2. I have installed kies on my pc and drivers install (according to kies) fine. I throw the phone on my pc through usb and try to open Odin, and it doesn't pick up the device is connected. Android Commander DOES connect though.
I have tried this with usb debug on and off just on a hunch it may make a difference but no dice. Phone atp does NOT have CWM as this was the point of me trying to Odin. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
What are you needing cwm for? Use Mobile Odin.
Here is stock el29cwm: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR

So Odin won't recognize your phone when you are in Download mode or just when you try to mount the drives? Odin is used primarily in Download mode.
Also try opening Odin, THEN connecting your phone after it is open.

I suspect this. hold power + vol DOWN until you get to download mode. Then plug in phone. If that doesn't work, try different cables and ports. You can also try reinstalling drivers and rebooting pc

Hi all,
I do have the problem that my computer, suddenly, doesn't recognize my mobile.
I connected my Gio to the computer and normally I can access the Gio but now this isn't possible. I enabled the option in the setting to see my mobile but it isn't working ........
Can somebody please help me?
I used to have that problem getting my gio to connect to. Try putting it I'm USB debug mode and se if it installs the drivers. Also what rom?

Do you have installed kies? It has drivers.
Yes I did but then it's still not working. I'm afraid my mobile isn't correct there the battery is empty in a day and I can't reboot my mobile even if the battery is 100%.
I can only reboot with the power cable on the mobile ..........
Bet get someone looked at it it than, cuz thats strange

If you have cwm installed you can use that (mounts and storage --> mount usb)

you might need to to download Samsung kies sometimes. happens to me sometimes when i flash new roms.
just google search samsung kies and install it. ur computer should detect your phone and automatically install drivers after that.
You must install usb drivers

I installed "KIES" and I thought that on that moment the drivers were installed at the same time but I thought there is an option to install only the drivers and not the software from "KIES" but I can't find it anymore .....
Just unpack the Kies installer with something like 7-Zip and get the USB drivers installer that way. I haven't had Kies installed on my computer in a very long time.
Sammobile has a installable .exe for the drivers, KIES isnt needed.

My Rogers galaxy s3 does not connect to my computer. It was rooted when I got the phone and I was only able to connect it to a pc once when I unrooted it. I forget how I managed to do this. Now I'm wanting to root my phone again but since I can't connect it to my pc I'm not sure what to do. I've tried using many different versions of framaroot and I've tried using poot but nothing seems to work

What happens when you connect your phone to the computer? Is it recognized at all by the computer but doesn't fully install or it is not recognized at all? If it is recognized but does not work, you may try installing the drivers on your PC. Installing Samsung Kies would be one way of doing this as Kies has all the drivers you need. Also check the USB cable you are using to be sure it's of good quality. I'd be hard pressed to understand how rooting or unrooting alone could affect recognition by your computer. To return your phone to stock-no-root, however, you'd need to download and flash the stock ROM, bootloader, modem and kernel zips via custom recovery (e.g. TWRP, CWM). You may search the threads for specific instructions on how to do this with the Canadian models.
It isn't recognized at all. I've tried multiple chords and different sub ports. It's unrooted right now, I want to root it.

Also check your phone's settings under Development mode to be sure USB debugging is enabled. If your aim is to root, you could, in principle, use another device like another phone, camera or micro SD adaptor, to copy the rooting files (Super SU zip) to an SD card and bring this to your phone. However, unless you already have custom recovery installed, you'll need to flash this via Odin which requires a computer. I
I had usb debugging on. This is really starting to seem hopeless.
