I have read lots of threads in this forum but no solutions seem to fix my problem.
I have the GT-N7100. Unlocked, not rooted & standard factory ROM.
When I connect it to my PC (Win7-64) via USB, it is not recognised at all. It charges, but the PC won`t recognise it.
I have installed and uninstalled Kies twice.
I have installed and uninstalled the device drivers twice.
I have tried different USB cables, different USB ports and different PCs - same issue every time.
Please help!

try enabling/disabling usb debugging or developer options altogether if it is still not fixed then
try reflashing stock rom. maybe some modification you did and don't remember.

That's what I'm thinking too. I might have to do a factory reset rather than re-flash though - it's a viscious circle - the PC won't recognise the device so I can re-flash ROM
I was trying to avoid this course of action though :crying:
Does anyone else have other suggestions before I do this?
(BTW, I did try enabling/disabling debugging already)
OK, so I eventually got too frustrated and did a full factory reset ... my PC (or KIES) still won't see the Note 2?
Anyone....????

Could be solved by changing UART mode to USB mode through code *#7284#. UART ... choose MODEM and USB choose PDA. I have found this in on xda thread. But you will probably need to do it every boot myte help tempry :fingers-crossed:

I should probably be a bit more specific about this question... I would love to get a new kernel (and ROM, and even just root the device) but I no PC will recognise that the GN2 is connected - so Odin or anything won't run.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for this suggestion but it didn't seem to work either - UART was MODEM and USB was PDA already but I toggled them etc to try to force reset.

Hi Mate,
This seems to me to be a driver issue. Check device manager, you might have a yellow bang there, uninstall and reinstall the driver from there.
Do get back if you need further instructions.
Cheers, Sumit
ya m8 ,y the kernel change,u said its stock so it mus b recognizd by ur pc..even wen u uninstall kies ,its better to restart an install it again..i facd this with my s2 an i removd kies fully an installd it the the main issue is the usb drivers u got to see the usb ports too were u connect cause i face prblm wen using the same port for s1,s2,gs note2 ...i use it in diff ports specially for flashing ,odin stuff...
Still no joy
Hi
I have still had not luck with device drivers, etc.
I have obtained Mobile Odin Pro, by I would like to clarify, the app clearly states that the device must be rooted to run. My device is not rooted - how can I root it? ( I have tried ExynosAbuse but it doesn't work). or can I do this with Mobile Odin?
Thanks for your help.
Theres a software called mobilego. Try installing it cand connect your phone. If it identifies your phone u can atleast take a back up. I had the same problem with a S2 i was using couple of months back. Never got it connected thru kies.

Omg I just told the whole procedure. Please specify what you want understand.
this is XXXDDDAAA
I am missing something here?
If one don't have root and unable to connect to PC how mobile odin will work?
It needs root, and somewhere I read exynose abuse not worked. So there is no chance.
@OP
Try cleaning usb socket in device. Remove battery and clean usb socket very carefully, i have seen few cases where charging can be oossible but still unable to get connect to PC due to faulty socket. Otherwise go to service centre and ask them to check for same.

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

I am experiencing the same problem. Did anyone find the solution?
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.
i am currently on the 23/11 builld of the cm 10.1everything works fine but when i connect the phone to odin or adb it dosent recognise the phone.odin works fine with my galaxy tab 2 on the same computer .i flash a lot and run into problems alot so i need odin to work correctly.could this be a problem with cm
the usb drivers are installed through kies.the pc is a wn 8 system .usb. debugging is on and the download mode is also fine .the pc also recognises my phone and shows it as usualjust odin not working
i need help super urgently otherwise i will be stuck. on cm10.1
are you sure your device has been detected and the driver installed completely?
you can re-install your samsung usb driver, and kill Kies application before connecting your device
@dharisd2, surely you tried restarting the phone, didn't you? Just in case...

Yes, as far as i know ODIN will detect your device only when your device enter Download Mode (Vol Down+Home+Power), and will show which COM port has been detected
I have a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy s4 and this is my first root I've ever attempted.
Been trying to root my device for the past 5 days using various methods which include towelroot, odin 3.7, odin 3.10 and other methods. I even watched the video how to root it from xda. But I am just not having any luck. I have everything updated on the device thats updated from kit kat 4.4.4 and everything is stock.
Odin is just not connecting to my device while in download mode and I have also updated the usb driver as well from the samsung website. and when i plug my phone into my computer while the device is on it recognizes the device on my computer. So I really do not know what to do now.
Any advice or suggestions that I should part take on?

Download Kies and let it install the drivers. Once done you can remove Kies.
I use Odin 3.07. If Odin sees your phone use CF-AUTO ROOT to root your phone.
i did just that and retried and did nothing towards connecting during download mode
Are you opening Odin after you plug the device in? If so does it say a message, something about 'added!'

Try different usb ports, down to the last one.. If the problem persists it might be the drivers.. In this case, uninstall kies and install drivers from Samsung

used my original cable that the phone came with, and it still did not connect while in download mode.
I have no clue what I am doing wrong.
Do you have kies installed? If so uninstall it, reboot, and try again

I had a similar problem once, chased it for hours to find a usb problem. Best test for that is connect the phone via Kies (usb, not wireless) and try to transfer files. If you can't get a file from your phone to the computer you have a hardware problem: usb port, cable, computer, or in the phone itself.
My i747m 's usb port was damaged (not charging). So I soldered a new one. The phone gets detected in download mode, I can flash anything but does not get detected in Windows anymore (it charges however). It doesn't make a sound when connected and nothing shows up in device manager/ usb DevView . I uninstalled drivers, re installed., nothing works. I don't understand what the issue could be since it gets detected in "Download" Mode.
Do you have USB debugging on?

Yes I do have it on. Off/On dont make the pc detect the phone. I have android 4.4.2 but I can't access the IOTHiddenMenu. I tried setting hidden menu to ON in efs/carrier/ but I still cant access it.
My buddy is having a problem with his. He can't get it to boot. Only the kies message pops up telling him to boot into recovery with kies. I'm assuming he tried to update and he unplugged the phone during the flashing process. Now he can't get Odin to recognize the phone. He did a fresh Odin/drivers install but still nothing. The PC says the device is corrupted or didn't install correctly. I never had that problem before. He is able to get in download mode but can't get it to connect.

One thing that could be your problem is if your device manager is not letting windows automatically update drivers. It should be under device manager somewhere.

But the pc detects the phone in downloading. I was able to flash a rom. It's just in windows. I believe samsung removed the IOTHiddenmanu in 4.3+ so I cant access usb settings.
Have you tried flashing back to a completely stock ROM? Not sure if that would make difference.

I never flashed a custom rom on this phone. I just flashed the stock 4.4.2 to see if it would work and it did.
Do things work properly after flashing stock?

No they don't. Could it be the port I soldered? If it was defective it wouldnt have have been detected in Download Mode
