If both kies and odin can recognize your device, you should be sweet to flash. My windows also installed the driver for my device. It should be fine

Been trying for 2 days on 2 different computers, cant get kies or odin to see phone!!

Copying my posts from Android forums, PLEASE HELP
At first kies would not recognize my phone either, after going into device manager and installing drivers that were found on my computer (hopefully from installing kies) kies will now recognize that I connected a device but it says, to please reconnect in PC Studio mode, current mode is not supported by kies??, and then I get the windows USB device not recognized message, ODIN doesnt see my phone at all. Latest kies version is installed.
In an earlier post someone was talking about another drive in addition to kies, where do I find this??
Sorry I am so lost and frustrated, I am not a noob, I switched roms on my EVO every few days, but this is my first sammy and I can't get the damn thing to recognize my phone, Could anyone give me a detailed dumbed down step by step process please? Thank you!!!!
tried on my 2nd pc, kies intalled without error message, but didnt recognize my device, i chose the install drivers option in kies, it seemed to install, but odin doesnt recognize it and still says usb not recognized when i plug it in urrrrr!
ok so the second PC seems to have gotten the drive installed and my computer recognizes the it as samsung usb modem, and samsung android device, but it still isnt recognized by kies or odin, and the usb not recognized still pops up. When I go to device manager I can update the epic touch driver and it seems to take but there is also a USB mass storage driver that has a yellow triangle and I Cant seem to fix it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, been trying on 2 computers for 2 days. I have a rooted EVO and G tablet, i swear I'm not a complete idiot, I just need my damn computer to recognize my phone! Thanks, sorry for the rant
To get mine to connect in kies I have to turn off usb debugging, and kies always says it has to close because of a problem but I just ignore it and don't click OK or close out the dialogue box and then the phone shows up and I can do stuff on kies. Hope this helps and hopefully its not like this for everyone else

Close kies, open odin, make sure usb-debugging is enable on your phone, try connecting your phone to a different usb port. Should re-install drivers, and pop up in odin. You don't need to open kies at all.

Also, sometimes the USB cord itself can be faulty, or so was the case with the OG Epic.

no mine is fine, that's just the way i have to do it to be able to sync with kies and stuff, my drivers are fine, it was just a suggestion for the op cause he sad he couldn't connect to kies, but i think i have to do it that way cause its through parallels desktop for mac.
Thanks guys, so im uninstalling kies yet again, then going to reinstall, reboot my pc, enable us debugging on my phone, plug it in,allow drivers to install (hopefully) and never open kies. Then I'll open odin and put my phone in download mode and then reconnect it to my pc right? Is it correct to assume that odin will only see my phone in download mode?

Kies
You may also consider trying uninstalling Kies, installing/updating Java and then reinstalling Kies. What OS are you using on the PCs?

Help with a previously soft-bricked GS3

I recently accidently bricked my GS3, and needed a jig to boot into download mode. After successfully getting into download mode with the jig, however, Windows 7 doesn't recognize my GS3, instead giving the message "USB Device Not Recgonized" and showing the yellow triangle on the device icon in the device manager as an unknown device. This is obviously a problem, as Odin can't recognize the device either, to flash a stock rom to get me out of this mess.
I honestly don't know how to remedy this.
Any thoughts?
Uninstall drivers and install them again
Use different USB ports.. My computer and I've heard a lot too are picky with the USB port that is bring used
Keep trying it should work one way or another

i've tried this with every port on my machine, every time I get two messages, the same "USB Device Not Recognized" after a "Device driver software was not successfully installed" message.

Well uninstall the Samsung drivers you currently have and install them again...
Or try downloading Kies and install it and overwritten your current drivers and see if that works
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Do I need to do anything other than going into device manager, clicking on the Unknown Device, hitting uninstall, then going to the samsung folder where I downloaded the drivers from via the S3 Toolkit, and deleting that folder?
That's what I've done each time, with a reinstall of the drivers of course.
Just tried installing drivers on a fresh computer, no dice, same messages popped up.
I'll try Kies.
Kies doesn't seem to recognize the device on any USB port, either.

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......

Can you get into download mode? hold volume up and down then plus in the USB cord? So screen doesnt turn? And it just happened outta nowhere?
Not sure if you still need help, but go into your task manager and disable Kies.

[Q] Note 2 usb problem

Hi all,
heres my first post on xda and I just wanna to explain my problem.
I am in possession of a GT-N7105, just bought the USB connection worked perfectly but when I tried to install the CF-ROOT and CWM RECOVERY me no more, the PC recognized the phone.
I state that I had installed windows 8.
First of all I installed Samsung KIES and did not recognize him. I uninstalled Kies and installed the drivers using the NOTE 2 TOOLKIT. Even so, nothing to do. The computer can not find the driver for QUALCOMM CDMA TECHNOLOGIES MSM.
I thought it was an error of Windows 8, maybe a bug, so I formatted the system by installing Windows 7 Professional, downloaded NOTE 2 TOOLKIT and installed the drivers without having the phone connected to the PC. When the TOOLKIT required me to connect to the pc NOTE2, I did. But even here, unfortunately, can not find drivers for QUALCOMM CDMA TECHNOLOGIES MSM.
P.S. The phone in DOWNLOAD MODE is recognized by ODIN and I got it back to the SERVICE FIRMWARE but even so the problem is not resolved.
I also tried to change the usb port but nothing.
I tried to install other versions of firmware via odin but nothing. I do not know what to do. Google can not give me a solution and not XDA.
So I decided to write here publicly to expose my problem. I hope someone of you can help me solve this problem that prevents me from installing the CM10.1!
In advance thank you all.

I have the same pb My N7105 with Qualcomm CDMA...
hello
i have the same pb , Win 7 64 dont find qualcomm cdma technologies msm driver
where find it for WIN 7 X64?
thx by advance.
I have windows 8 as well and couldn't get my computer to recognize it no matter how much I updated the drivers and such. But I ended up going into control panel and clicking on devices and hardware or whatever it's called. Go to the note 2 icon (not sure exactly what it will be called but something like Samsung device), right click and hot troubleshoot. This actually solved the problem for me and hopefully helps you.

[Q] [Help!] Bricked Phone with driver problem

Hello everyone...
I was updating the phone recently, and went to reboot it (cyanogen mod ROM btw) and now I have no idea what it did but it is now stuck on the Samsung logo, and their is no recovery I can use on it. Only DL mode works.
I tried to use Odin to relfash but the problem is on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers, they install the drivers, but they still fail to recognize the phone when I plug it in!
I have tried different USB ports, a full driver uninstall, multiple USB cords and the computer refuses to recognize the phone saying "USB Device not recognized"
Again, the drivers install fine, and I did a reboot after each install and uninstall. No luck.
I didnt even install drivers on my W8 netbook and I was able to flash back TWRP using Odin and Download mode yesterday when my attempt at flashing TWRP 2.6.0.4 originally failed.
Fire up download mode, then open up Odin (you should see a COM port open), load up what you need to install, then flash.
What are you trying to flash using ODIN? A bootloader or a ROM?
"BootLooping GhostBrick"
Holy crap! you too? I'm experiencing the same thing too bro. its my girlfriend's phone tho. she's borrowing my Nexus 4 while I work on fixing her SGS2...I seem to have contracted a serious case of the BootLooping GhostBrick, just like you did, right after updating. I went through the same steps troubleshooting as you did, and ...its a guess, but I'm starting to figure the solution will probably include: 1. using ADB to push sum files to the phone, or otherwise somehow reflashing stock firmware from the PC.
2. Re-Root the dam thing and flash a kernel with a recovery (like CWM or TWRP) using rom manager...and 3. Considering installing a ROM of my choice Like PACMAN, or Cyanogenmod.....hmm...Yum
anyway, the search for the vaccine to this dreadful affliction begins. Please post if you find something, I will too.

Re-installing Odin and drivers still didn't get Odin to recognize the device in download mode. Windows 7 isn't assigning it any COM port, and nothing can be flashed unless Odin sees the com port the device is on. I used Goo Manager to flash TWRP 2.6.0.3 over my previous 2.6.0.0 version and now I'm stuck on samsung logo, can't reboot to recovery and PC won't recognize device in download mode. Anyone know a solution?

Welcome to ur first soft brick, and as I said in ur other post u need to disable or removes Samsung kies before trying to use Odin as long as any part of kies is running even in background Odin won't see the device, also make sure u use factory/data approved USB wires, also try diff ports, sometimes Odin won't see com3 but will see com5, be patient and follow this and ull be fine, also twrp2.6.0.3 has been known to cause sftbricks, DL 2.6.0.4 from techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules its the newest and 4.3 compatible

It's not a matter of trying different com ports, I can't get the PC or Odin to recognize the phone in download mode despite uninstalling kies, installing the latest drivers twice, 3 different OEM cables, multiple usb ports, nothing. when I plug it in, Windows doesn't make any sound like with other usb devices, nor does it try and search for drivers. Are there any other options short of JTAG repair?

I was going to reply earlier, but I got side tracked and this guy is literally having the exact same problem as me. I tried multiple OEM cables, and ports and Windows recognized it but it still won't let me USE it. Odin (after re-install) still shows no connections or ports.
Also, yeah this phone isn't mine either, my Dads. He is using my old S3 for now and is quite mad with me hahaha.
So yeah, I have to re-cap...
-Updated through Goomanager.... (the culprit I am guessing)
-Rebooted
-Got stuck on the Galaxy S 2 screen
-Plugged in with 4 USB cables to three different USB ports
-Uninstalled and reinstalled Odin numerous times, each with a reboot between.
-Odin fails to recognize it
-Windows KNOWS IT IS THERE, and makes a sound when plugged in, however it says "USB Device not recognized"
Any more ideas?
Thanks for the help to guys it is very much appreciated. I will donate to the person that can help me out of this

Probably a faulty USB port. My computer shows that message all the time, only one of them works correctly. If not, you just need to install the correct USB Drivers, because even if you don't have them it should recognize your phone as a Samsung phone but will say that the drivers did not install correctly.
