[Q] Odin unable to see GS2 in DL mode...

i'm trying to Odin back to a stock recovery so i can run TMobile's newest OTA; i flashed Whitehawkx's deodexed KL1 because i was told to look for a KL1 stock ROM - when i got into DL mode, Odin won't see my phone - MY PC causes an alert (yellow rectangle) in Device Mgr on the phone 'Samsung Mobile USB Comp Device' when i'm in DL mode, but it's fine when i'm not. And Odin sees the phone fine when i'm not in DL mode.
can someone tell me what might be wrong here? This OTA udpdate reminder is getting annoying, even though i've postponed it for 1 day...
thanks very much

well, i haven't quite figured out Kies except for how it explores my phone - don't know how i'd go find drivers with it.
i did download current drivers for the Samsung USB connection, just rebooted and nothing's changed.
my phone states:
Odin Mode
Prod Name t989
Custom Binary DL: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
i've already bricked one GS2, i'm terrified of doing that again.
help???

Do u have windows7?

yep (this message was too short until i wrote this).

i'd used Odin before on this machine - just a few weeks ago...

Try uninstalling the drivers and let them install automatically when u connect your phone

Did u try restarting your computer?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

ok, this worked. i went straight to DL mode and let the drivers install, and all is good.
i updated my modem to KL1 -what i need to do is revert to a Stock recovery so i can run this OTA, is that correct? can you tell me how to do this with Odin?
thanks

i just pushed the update thru odin even though i had cwm and was rooted. it unrooted me and put my recovery to stock
---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
just download and then push it to ur phone thru odin.

what's that mean "push it through"?
and i didn't even know i could download the new OTA - i assumed it was already on the phone somewhere.
thanks much

i installed Kies on my pc and it tells me that i have the latest firmware on my phone already, KL1 - my baseband tells me i have KL1 because that's the flash i did last night, but i'm still stuck with TWO OTA nags.
can someone PLEASE tell me how to get rid of these nags?

Is this hard brick or soft?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If it's bricked then it almost definitely is a soft brick. A hard brick is when the phone does not turn on at all and I believe when plugged into the charger there are no led lights or anything. In order to get rid of the soft brick you could try to use Odin to flash a JB tar. There's a guide to do that somewhere in here. I posted one myself on a different thread not too long ago so you could search by my name to find it.

If you're stuck in Odin Mode, you should be able to flash a stock rom via Odin on your computer. Flash the stock LJ7 jellybean and don't mess with the count reset versions.

This specifically... Have you tried another USB port? Have you tried another cable?
If you can't get anything else to work, this might be an actual brick.
What were you updating?
What were you running? Recovery, ROM, Modem?

Got stuck flashing it
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app

first confirm if the odin tar you are flashing has correct MD5 , i mean it got corrupt while downloading ( it happens a lot )
use a different , preferably new stock cable
use different usb port ( the com port should show up in odin window too )
if everything is fine flash the tar once more.

This is perfect I need someone to test to confirm this will work on this error.
Grab cf-autoroot
Flash it in Odin and let it do its auto reboot, after it will probably hang at the sgs3 splash.
Pull battery
Reboot to stock recovery
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Try reboot
If reboot passes boot animation let it sit for about 10-15minutes before pulling battery(it may boot into rom at this point)
If it hangs at the sgs3 splash screen on reboot, pull battery boot to DL mode and flash an Odin one-click full restore.
Reboot
Hopefully profit like I did.

same things goes wrong with me it doesn't go in download mode........help hoe to get into download mode

Hello alltogether,
The last 30 minutes I was near a heart attack, I really thought my S3 would be 90% dead.
NO recovery - The "encounter an issue...." warning - Only ODIN
But everytime I tried to flash anything (stock ROM or Recovery or whatever) it just stopped after a few seconds and ODIN freezed I had to pull the USB cable to do something new. I even let it without battery for a few minutes - nothing changed.
I was really dissapointed and I searched the Internet - after all I found the hint to try antother USB port and another cable.
I used a thin old cable and the front usb, not the back usb port.
So now ODIN, the original cable and the back USB port - I really didn't think it would make a difference! I tried to flash CF-Root with CWM and...
TATAAAAA! IT WORKED.
Man I am happy.
There's nothing more worse than not coming into recovery mode and odin not working!
BTW: Why it came how it came: I had (and still have) Omega 4.2.1 and Philz Touch Recovery, but I had problems with the root access to the system. I wanted to flash CF-CWM Root - That's all, this brought me in big trouble.
I never had these problems with the CF Root, I don't know why, but I do not really trust this Philz Touch Recovery, maybe I am hyper sensible now - I do not know.
I am happy, my phone is happy - everything is fine.

[GT-N5110] Problem with Android system recovery

Hello!
Today I resetted my GT-N5110 by choosing the option in the Android system recovery. I did it because after the update to Android 4.2.2 I got via OTA some Apps were determinated repeatedly. I also re-initialized the Firmware via Kies.
But, wenn I run Android system recovery it says "No command" an when I try to wipe the cache partition it says "Error!".
I never rooted or used a custom rom.
Does anyone have an idea??

Does no one have an idea?

So had you rooted your Note 8.0 or were you running stock recovery?

I have the same problem, I'm in 4.2.2
I've made a wipe data, I can't make a wipe cache (it says Error and reboot),
and when i plug the tab in odin mode, Odin doesn't detect the device even if I check the debug mode, so i can't install another ROM or another kernel
So, how can i install an 4.1.2 ?
The device was NEVER rooted, no other kernel, and now i regret it :crying:

If you follow the steps on the following page, you should be able to get root with a pretty stock ROM with all the Samsung apps.

Done, but nothing change.
I'm always in 4.2.2 and can't make anything using Odin.

Does your operating system see (can mount) the N5110's filesystem(s)? If not, that's your problem right there. Unless the O/S can see your device, Odin (or any other program like heimdall, adb or fastboot) won't see it either.
Make sure you installed the right Samsung USB drivers (if using Windows). See:
http://samsung-phones-drivers.blogspot.com/2013/11/galaxy-note-80-gt-n5100-usb-driver.html
You could also try the Galaxy Note toolkit. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033
Yes, USB debug needs to be enabled in settings.
On your N5110, can you boot into recovery mode (also known as download mode)? If so, connect your N5110 to the computer and see if your O/S detects it. If not, try another USB port on your PC.
Also, try another USB cable. Sometimes the cheaper ones loosen up in the micro port on the N5110 and don't make a good connection.

Revert back to stock

Sorry if it's been posted already
Tried to search but the page kept timing out
I have an old note 2 I need to reactivate
I have to take it into a sprint location though so i'd like to revert back to stock
Is there a topic or tutorial?

This is the current stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53353625

i'M ON 4.4.2 now
Anyone to revert back to 4.2?

You can go down to 4.1.2 (we never got 4.2) but it is not something most people want to try. You can end up in a soft brick state where nothing will boot and no stock odin files will work. Then you have to flash a special fix to make your phone usable.
So why would you want to try that? If you just want stock odin the current NE2 tar from samsung.

For some odd reason, if I revert back to the current stock rom, when I root, supersu never works.
Figured I'd revert back to 4.1.2 and root from there.

Like jlmancuso said, you're headed down a slippery slope. If you tried the same thing with your s3 you would've made a paperweight.
Flash it to stock 4.4.2, take it to the sprint store (per your original post) and once you get it up and running, then try to root. If you run into problems just post here to get help...

Getting back to stock cont. . .
Soooo,
I was on a mission to flash custom kernel when all hell broke loose. Long story short list:
1. I have done a system wipe which has erased my OS
2. My device was rooted with the binary count tripped so I can't revert to stock rom *
3. I can't go back to the custom rom that I was on because there's no OS *
* = is this true
Question is, is there a way to either reset the counter so I can go back to stock rom OR get a custom rom that has the stock framework underneath already that I can just flash?
I'm totally stuck. . .and I dropped my phone in the middle of this debacle and cracked the screen

Did you try flashing a custom recovery through Odin yet? I would suggest trying to flash philz latest version through Odin.
Turn off auto reboot in Odin. Once it's complete, pull the battery. Put the battery back and and reboot into download mode (power+home+volume down buttons at the same time)
Edit. Before doing the above, have you unzipped the tar file on your pc?

Yup, I've unzipped the tar file. I've been in and out of the latest TWRP and stock recoveries with no luck so far, but I haven't tried philz yet. And I'll remember to turn off the auto reboot and see if this method will allow me to get the tar file flashed

Battery charge

Flashed DN4 custom rom on phone. Started acting up so I flashed stock 4.1.1 rom onto phone.
Got phone to boot and run properly with a few issues:
-Battery does not charge when phone is off
-Can not flash TWRP onto phone. Odin 3.07 gets hung up and then does not respond.
Bootloader I317UCUCNE5 is in the phone now.
Can't find a way to get angi kernal in phone without custom recovery.

I know on some devices there is an issue with powered off charging & kies. In this case I would flash AGNI kernel. Latest conflicts on my i317m. I am on second last. There is no problem charging when off but I must unplug to reboot.

I am going to try a later version of AGNi Kernal. Can I just flash over the one that is already installed? For some reason Kies works now. I was going to use Kies for a stock rom upgrade thinking this may be the problem with the battery charging.

Charging is kernel related & yes you can just flash it over. B sure it is 4 your device. Softbricked mine once .lol.

Tried two AGNI kernals and nothing. I am not sure they are even loading. There is no icon and the Kernal version says nothing about AGNI.
Do you think I have to upgrade the firmware first. I am still on 4.1.1

What bootloader do you have? If it is 4.3 you need to go to 4.3 minimum for wifi & kernel. This may b charge issue as well. If 4.3 bootloader I'm surprised it even loaded firmware.

Flashed newer rom. Now with 4.4.2 (ucucne5) everything is working. I guess my rom wasn't current enough for the newer baseband I had installed when I flashed with DN4 rom.
It turns out that the basis for all my problems from the beginning was not the DN4 rom but my battery! Battery had just enough power to get the phone to the boot up and then shut off and then repeat. The battery stuck my phone in a bootloop that I thought was the rom. Lucky I had access to another battery or it probably would have taken me quite a while to blame the battery for the problem.
thanks for your help
