Trying to restore to stock EC05, USB Not Recognized.

I have recently flashed EE03 Swiss Cheese Samsprint on my Epic 4G. Due to many problems it has, I wish to go back to 2.2 Froyo Stock firmware. But I've been having many problems trying to do that.
I download Odin3. I got the stock Froyo tar file. I installed all of the drivers. I put my Epic into download mode, connect to my PC using the USB Cable it came with, and my computer fails to recognize it. It recognizes it just fine when using it in USB Debugging mode. But no matter which USB port on my laptop I use, it fails to be recognized.
If anyone can aide me with this problem, I'd be forever grateful. I've heard the USB cable is bad and a Blackberry one is better, and I've heard laptop's don't give the required power to the device, (even though it worked out of download mode). Please and thank you!

Try a different usb cable

Would that explain why it still worked when it wasn't in Download mode, but in USB Debug mode? Just curious is all.

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.

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.
Sent from my old but still kickin Epic 4g

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.

[Q] Huge Odin Dilema

I was using the pre rooted EL29 odin package and all of a sudden my phone randomly disconnected while going through the file recovery. It boots up to download mode but now my PC wont recognize it. It says "USB Not Recognized" and i've tried 4 cables and 2 computers. Any help?

Try a fresh install of Kies on your PC. If that doesn't work are you able to boot up into Recovery?

No it says that there was a firmware update error and to recconect to the computer with kies. I've had that error many times before and id just go into download mode and flash a stock tar in but this time Odin will not recognize it. Says not recognized

God damnit. Installed latest drivers from Kies and still not recognizeable. It boots into download mode so that means it's not bricked and should be hope for me. ugh

Honestly, that may be a brick. Pulling the cable while running Odin almost always ends up with that result.

This may sound weird, but try this.
Reboot your PC and load up Odin. Shut down your phone and pull the battery. While holding down the download mode buttons, put the battery back in. Then connect your cable once you boot into download mode.

Sorry to hear. If that has happened before, probably something wasn't right before. I've never had a spontaneous disconnect while using Odin and I flash a lot when testing the various releases.
If you can't get back into Odin D/L and have the phone be recognized, you might want to look at jtag repair from mobiletechvideos or having sprint expedite the warranty repair for you.

I understand, that is why I gave you suggestions if you could *not* get back in (I'm assuming you are going to try other things)

this has happen to be before, i had a faulty usb cable, so i switched and it worked. Have you tried using a different usb cable?

How about battery pull hold vol up and pwr for recovery mode while re-installing battery? then nan restore a backup . You did backup right?

This happened to me a couple days ago but I could get into recovery which fixed it. Make sure you have Odin open on both your computer and phone and THEN connect your phone to your computer. Also, reinstall Kies, all of your drivers, etc. on your computer. The weird part about what happened to my phone is that the phone would be detected while in recovery but not in Download mode.

I wasn't suggesting you did it on purpose.. sorry. Hopefully one of these tricks may work for you but if they don't, I don't think you have anything to worry about when you send it back

If you are rooted, you can install CWM using Mobile ODIN or Auto Root manual method.

But i cant boot into my ROM. i can only go into download mode

odin can't detect in flash mode

I know this occurs to several users and to others phones such as SG2,III,Ace and many more. But so far, i still can't figure out how to solve it.
Installed Kies, Installed SGN2 kit 3.0.
When the phone is On, i can transfer any files through Kies, or just drag and drop. Even Odin detect my phone "port 3" in blue.
On the phone, i tickled USB debugging and hold down volume, menu+power to go in Flash mode. and from there i'm stuck. my computer can't detect the phone anymore.
Any help? please!

Odin. Odin can't detect my phone when in FLASH mode(volume down+menu+power).

It's volume down+power+home. Just wanted to make sure you were in fact in download mode.

Its because he has toolkit and kies intalled at same time...it says in toolkit thread to have onr or other....the drivers dont mix

I had the same problem. Heres the solution. Uninstall Keis then reinstall. Then plug in your phone until all the drivers are installed. Make sure you use that same usb on your computer if you have more then one. Then try again by opening Odin first, then put phone in download mode and plug in the phone into the same usb as you did when installing the drivers. For some reason odin only works with the usb you plug your phone into, when you installed the drivers.

Did you flash anything? What was the last thing you did before it went dead? You might have soft bricked your phone. Can you get into download mod?

Not, odin recognize it but just stop in setupConnection, I install hqusb drivers for qualcomm and nothing, I used other odin and nothing again, I have brixfix software but I do not anything because I will use this tool like as my last option, I do not know how this tool works......

Not sure if you still need help, but go into your task manager and disable Kies.
