So I have done something to my epic, I don't know if it would count as bricked soft bricked or whatever but when I turn it on it bootloops on samsung logo but I can still enter download mode, So I figured I would flash a stock rom with odin and start over.
I went to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
downloaded necessary drivers
installed and tried to connect to odin
I've tried every combination of powering the phone with the computer, then putting in download mode
I've tried powering on with battery booting into download mode opening odin selecting pit and tar and then pluging it in and nothing.
when the pc does recognize the phone it says device not recognized or device malfunctioned.
I saw a post somewhere with someone saying I needed to "advanced install" the drivers. So whatever that means I tried to uninstall the device from device manager while plugged in in download mode and updating the driver to the 64bit samsung usb driver and it says "unknown device already has best driver installed"
the computer I'm using is an HP DM1-4010us not that I think it would matter.
If anyone has anymore suggestions, or can suggest a method or pattern of step by step what I need to do
maybe install the drivers in a different compatibility mode?
what about odin compatibility?
System UAC is turned off and firewall is off too just in case it may be blocking odin from communicating with comm ports so I know that can't be the issue.
Thanks for listening to my overly detailed and confused ramblings and thanks in advance for any advice or help offered.

Try a different USB port and cable the stock cable sucks azz try a blackberry cable.
Have you tried a different usb port?
I have always used the cable that came with my epic, are you using it?
I'd at least open odin, put your phone into download mode and then connect it to the PC and see if with the stock cable it is recognized. That will tell you perhaps the cable you're using isn't connecting right for odin's use.
do you have any other cell phone drivers on your PC? I've seen where they conflict. Remove all cells phone drivers, reboot, install the epic drivers for win7 64bit

Heimdall fails to install drivers or detect the device, does this with AND without the samsung 64bit drivers installed.
Try downloading kies air to get drivers.

Make sure you downloaded the drivers named "Samsung_Mobile_Drivers_V1.3.8.." if not then that's the problem, if you need it I can email you the the file. Try all the usb cables in your house and all the computers as well, and take out sd card, I've also had this odin problem and I'm also sure it's your drivers since there are like 10 samsung drivers floating around lol.
Edit: nvm I downloaded the drivers from the thread you linked and they are correct.. try different cables, no battery no sd card, and different computers

Your USB plug, or the micro end on the phone..very sensitive right there I hate it, and try switching ports on the compt'r. I am on my 4th USB chord from sprint?
Flash away!lol
Also with device connected go into control panel, device manager, find samsung Android under other or in USB ports. Click it and click update drivers...may take 20 minutes or so to get all the drivers from Windows Update.

Link is broken.
My drivers failed to install but I am still able to flash it and access my memory card with the usb cable. I tried the samsung drivers directly from there site, also tried others from links in the forum all to no luck. Just let the computer do its thing when you first plug it in, reboot and then try to do what you want.

I'm having problems getting my phone recognized by Heimdall (both Windows and Mac) and Odin (Windows). Here's the situation.
I have a practically fresh install of Windows with no drivers installed. I downloaded Heimdall to try and restore my Epic that has the [Phone] ! [PC] screen. I booted it into recovery mode, ran zadig, used a non-Samsung cable, etc. Heimdall's detect button recognizes my phone. However, when I actually try and do anything, I get "Error: libusb error: -12". I've seen some posts from different forums that say this is correlated with NOT having the zadig drivers installed, so I reinstalled them and rebooted for good measure. I still have the same problem.
So, I assumed that Heimdall was a lost cause and moved on to Odin. I'm following the how to in the dev forum and I installed the drivers mentioned there (x64 as I'm on Win 7 64 bit), downloaded the TAR, and so on. I open up Odin, put my phone in download mode, plug it in... and Windows says that it's an unknown device and can't recognize it. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers several times, swapped out USB cables, and I can't find or think of anything more to do.
Help!
Okay when you open device manager and find the "unknown device" update the driver with your epic 4g drivers this will fix it hopefully... if not try and unistalling it pulling your usb out and popping out the battery and leave it out and plug in the usb and go into dlmode and it should reset things.

this is a direct link to the drivers needed.
Well, I got it to work with Heimdall. It seems to have been a combination of the USB cable, USB port, and drivers that caused my problems. Here's how I got it to work for those who might have this problem in the future.
1. Uninstall literally everything related to Samsung, Heimdall, Odin, etc. This means uninstall any drivers, delete all instances of Odin, Heimdall, Kies, or any other software.
2. Reboot.
3. Download the latest version of Heimdall (1.3.1).
4. Remove the battery from your Epic and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
5. Get a fresh, non-Samsung (and possibly non Amazon, as that's another one that didn't work for me) USB cable. I opened a brand new Monoprice one that I had laying around.
6. Plug in the cable to a USB port directly on your computer.
7. Hold down power and 1 while plugging in the USB cable (this is with the battery still out).
8. Run zadig.exe, which comes with Heimdall. The computer should recognize it as a Samsung composite device or "Gadget serial". Install drivers.
9. Open Heimdall and flash. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S DONE!
Great. As long as u got it to work. Excellent.

Ok first, Hi its my first time here.
I looked around, found a similar thread but lost it during registration.
I am slowly working on my first root using QBKing77's videos. Having not done anything to the phone yet windows sees the phone just fine. When i put it into download mode for odin windows says that "usb device not recognized".
I have checked the cable, used different ports, used different cable, uninstall reinstall drivers, try with no sd card and diff sd card. all of these have had the same result. Once again, pc sees phone just fine when normally running.
help please.
Does Odin see it? Are the drivers from the official Samsung website. If your lucky try another computer. If still doesn't work then your phone hates you It sounds like windows is secretly having an issue installing drivers. If you can try MAC/Heimdall because Mac doesn't need drivers
Sent from my SPH-D700
Delete the drivers from your computer. Turn on USB Debugging on the phone and plug it into the computer and let Windows find and install all the drivers from Windows Update. May take like 30 minutes to get them all.

Hello everyone. My E4GT is unable to connect my computer after I install the drivers. I tried reinstalling them, used different usb ports, and different cables to find out that it still wouldn't work. The weird think is when I connect my phone to another computer after installing the drivers, it works. I'm hoping that someone knows of a fix to this.
OS: Windows XP SP3 32-bit
Edit: I solved this problem. What the problem was that I was missing usb.inf in WINDOWS/INF . To get this file, I got it from the other computer. At the time of me doing this, my only goal was to fix my webcam because I was getting an error about a missing .inf file.

Looks like you tried different USB cables (hopefully NEW ones), and different ports too. Along with Kies.
Try going into device manager (check show hidden devices too!) and uninstall ANY Samsung drivers or software you have installed. And reboot.
Download and install the latest drivers for the Epic 4GT [ http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe ]
Reboot your system. Then try to connect again.
If you have some type of Antivirus/Antispyware application you may also want to try and temporarily disable it too. I've seen this happen before.

I'm pretty sure it is not my antivirus because the other computer has the exact same antivirus. Also, in Device Manager, I enabled hidden devices and I do not see any drivers that seem like they have to do with Samsung.
Cool, but did you uninstall, reboot and then reinstall? And did you also disable the AV just in case?

Wow not sure what else to try. If you've tried removing all drivers and re-installing them, using brand new USB cable(s), using different USB ports and disabling AV software and if it does connect and show up on other PCs yet it still wont show on one PC, then something is amiss with that machine.
When you're connecting your device you do have it on too right? I'm sure you do but just checking.
Did you install any ROM on this device already? There are some international versions that if installed on this device disable the USB port.
And does it show up on other machines just not this one?
If it shows up on other machines than it there is something amok with that PC.
If it doesn't then..
One last thing you might want to attempt is to download sfhub's One-click FF18 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 download the 'reset data' and extract the exe.
Make sure you phone is off and NOT attached to the PC.
Run the One-click application.
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode
Then Attach your phone via USB to the PC and see if it shows up on a COM Port (anyone is OK).
IF it does you can then at least flash the stock rooted FF18 and get the device to probably work correctly next time you plug it in after of course the entire Odin/Update finishes and your phone restarts.
Just reaching here but hope that helps.

This shows up on other computers but not this one. I did install CM9 onto my phone, but when I was on stock, this problem was still happening. This is most likely something with this PC. Thanks for you help.
Well then that's it. PC is the issue it won't show. Something is pooped.
Good luck.
Just to be clear, when someone says, 'try different usb ports' make sure you only use the ports on the motherboard and not the ones on the front of the case or door.
It's the difference between powered and un powered.
That one the threw me for a loop on my win7 when I usually use my laptop with xp.
Hi All,
I recently purchased two Galaxy Tab S tablets (10.5, SM-T800) which I have been trying to root for the past couple of days but have been getting nowhere.
The issue stems from the inability of my computers being able to detect the tablets in Download Mode.
I have tried the following:
I have tried installing different versions of Odin
I have download kies.
I have tried re-installing the Samsung usb drivers on numerous ocations in two different computers.
I have tried different usb cables to include the cable that came with the tablet.
If Tablet is powered on however, the computer will detected it and thus so will Odin. This is only happens in Download Mode.
If googled this issue and it seems to be a none issue however I have yet to find a fix to this. I was hoping I would have better luck in this forum.
Have you tryed using a different usb port? How about using a different pc? Does it even connect when you tab s is on? My pc can detect my tab s fine but had some issues with windows 8.1 and odin crashing. My guess would be trying on a pc that can detect other devices in download mode just fine. Did you also enable usb debugging?
I'm stumped given what you have tried. I'm assuming you are using CF-autoroot. On Windows 7, Odin wouldn't see download mode until I installed the Samsung drivers downloaded from Samsung. Then everything went fine (after which I rolled Windows back to the previous restore point because the Sammy drivers messed up my Nexus 5 connection. Also, if it matters, I used Odin 3.0.9 but with Chainfire's Odin.ini file.
Are you waiting to plug the tablet in until after you have entered download mode? I don't know why, but the instructions for CF-autoroot were very explicit about that.

Dont mean to patronize...but you have enabled usb debugging in developer options and installed the adb driver right? Coz odin wont see anything until you do this.

You dont need adb as it worked fine without adb for me. Usb debugging does the trick. But installing adb could help
Yes I already tried different USB ports. Different USB cables. Different computers. USB Debugging is enabled.
Again Odin does detect the tablet as long as the tablet is booted up to Android. Odin detects is, Windows Detects it, Kies Detects it.
As soon as I reboot the tablet into Download Mode and plug it back into the computer, is as if nothing is plugged in. No driver gets installed. No new hardware is detected and thus Odin wont detect it.
FIXED!!!!!
Ok so what essential was happening is I was turning off the tablet. Putting it into download mode using VolDown+Home+Power. However that seemed to be actually taking me to recovery and now download mode.
I ended up booting back into android with usb debugging mode enabled and running the following adb command
adb reboot download
This rebooted the tablet into download mode which looks totally different than the recovery, it then installed the drivers and Odin was able to finally detect it!
Thank you all for your assistance!
