Download mode - Odin will only recognize when phone is booted up

I am at my wits end right now. I can see my phone on com3 when it is booted up all the way, but it will not see it when in download mode. I erroneously flashed this file earlier, forgetting I did not have a regular GSII: I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXKP2_CL17109_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
What other information would help diagnose this problem?
I currently have stock EL26 installed.
Alternatively, is it safe to install CM9 from this recovery? Seems to me I should resolve this first..
edit: I do not have an unrecognized device, I have tried more than one usb cable and port

Try this:
Redownload the drivers for the phone, install them and let your cpu reset. See if Odin sees your phone then.
I know with my GT10.1 it takes a few seconds more for Odin to see it so... But my ET4G pops up pretty fast.
The EL26/CWM is the kernel/recovery that you want to use when your flashing CM9 Alfa 5 and below.
But like you said... You may want to figure out why Odin isn't seeing your phone when it's in download mode.
Also... Do you have Kies installed on your cpu??? It'll cause problems with Odin to.
Have you tried Mobile Odin for what you want to do. I do almost everything involving CM and flashing with it. Works like a charm.

WoW... He just edited his post as I was replying... Doesn't flashing an international tar mess up the bootloader??? I'm really not to sure where you go next.
If his phone still boots up okay couldn't help still use Mobile Odin and flash the right setup.

What is the right setup to use? A fresh GB rom install? I am at a loss at this point.
Yeah I ****ed up, I have not messed with my phone in many months.
Edit: driver reinstall did not work, do not have kies installed. mobile odin works on GB then? I can use the e4gt-autofix if that makes a difference. Updating from the stock recovery does not seem to work, it will start, then give me the ! triangle with sad android.

Unfortunately my friend, I think you are hosed. The international PIT file is exceptionally different from the one we use for our phone. I don't remember the specifics but basically it remaps your partitions and causes USB to not work correctly. Your best bet is to try a JTAG service. I've heard MobileTechVideos.com is pretty well rated.
Sorry!

My phone is currently functioning properly when booted up. What are the implications of this beyond not being able to change roms (and not having a notification bar..wtf)?
Edit: ok I take it back, mass storage is not working either. also, I am definitely willing to buy Mobile Odin if anyone has any ideas.

Not getting on you m8 but... Flashing a rom for another device even if it's the same model is really really bad. Like rwilco said, yes the International GS2 and our ET4G's are the same devices but there software is very different.

Well... Like you said, most likely you will not be able to make any changes as in roms, kernels or things like that. And if you have any hardware issue you won't be able to get any support from Sprint. And you sure as hell won't be able to receive any OTA's from Sprint or Samsung.
Can you do something for use... Go to "Settings" then "About Phone" and under "Model Number" & "Baseband Version" and tell us what it says there.
I'm not really sure this would/can help you but if your phone still boots and runs you maybe able to Odin the right tar file and see if that fixes it. I mean it could work but I really doubt it. And what's the worst that could happen... It could brick it, then you could file an insurance claim... Just saying...
Where did you get the file from that you flashed??? Most likely not from this (ET4G) forum, should have read up a bit more before you started messing around with flashing roms again. Some things aren't easily fixable.

I am a lucky SOB. I was able to use e4gtauto-sfx to put el29/CWM back on to my phone, and as a result I restored my nandroid backup. I have full function back, except, of course, no odin in download mode.
My baseband is S710.10 S.EK02 with standard model number sph d710.
I believe it came from the android forums, but like i said it was in the SGII area.
What tar file would I be looking for?

Doing some research m8... Give me a few mins....
Make sure you have Mobile Odin installed.

Ok... Yes you are my friend!!!! But I fear we are not completely out of the woods as of yet. You still have the "no Odin in download" thing still. And that could still be an issue, but at least your back up and running.

This is telling me that your on an older baseband... I'm running CM9 and my baseband reads "EL29" which I think is the most resent/updated baseband. I don't want to scare you but I really wish a dev would jump in here and shed some of there wisdom. (I'm almost to the point where I'm winging it.) But I feel we need to get your baseband to EL29.

Oh sweet Jesus, I promise.
Now when I do this will this wipe everything? I'm not terribly clear on that. Seems to me that it will.
I really appreciate the help man.

There are 2 different versions... One will wipe everything and one will leave all of your user data intact.
And like I said, I'm not a 100% sure this will fix it but I think we are moving in the right direction.
And not a problem... It's helping me learn more about what goes on inside our devices.
I am still a little worried about your bootloader though. If that was jacked up by flashing the wrong rom I don't know if this will fix it.
Question, when you hook up your device to your cpu when it's booted up are you still able to do things like transfer files and such???

EL29 was the last version of Gingerbread put out. You'll be able to use mobile Odin to flash stuff but you'll never get the USB to recognize in DL mode. I think jtag might be the only way to restore complete functionality.

For now you'll be alright as long as you can get into recovery mode fine then you can flash modems in there(since mobile Odin can't flash them for our phone).

Your baseband (modem) should not matter and changing it won't have any affect on your problem. Good luck and let us know how out turns out.

Solved
I am posting now in case someone comes upon this post down the road.
I am now running cyanogen 9 on my e4gt. This thread saved me, as I was finally able to get odin to work. With that, I was able to flash a new recovery onto my phone (I used StockCWM-EL26). Then once I got that on there I flashed over to the Beta 1 build of Cyanogenmod for e4gt.
I'm sorry I can't be more clear or provide links, it took me a lot of crawling around the forums to figure this out. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can clean up/expand my post. Let me tell you though, it feels really good to get this thing running smoothly again.
If you have any questions I'll try to help.
Good luck, idiot!

I have been having trouble with this device since I changed the digitizer after dropping and shattering the screen, it was unlocked but after that it would only take AT&T SIM card, when I inserted my simple mobile card it pop a stop sign on the signal bar and give emergency call only when I tried to call. I have tried downgrading & unlocking again, tried custom rooms but it still didn't work. Now major problem 2 is that I was trying to install a rom using twrp I accidentally but it wit no OS loaded and now it can't be recognized by the computer. How to I get to load the OS back? Please help with the 2 issues.

Do you still have twrp recovery? Not sure about you twrp part you said you accidentally did something. You will get that no OS message after you perpormed full wipe then reboot device without flashing a rom. Download a custom rom and save to external card then flash using twrp recovery if you can still access it.

Thanks a lot for your help. Was finally able to go to boot and use Odin to load stock 4.1.2. Then downgraded to 4.1.1 and went through the secret menu method to unlock but it still will not allow calls and still shows the stop sign @ the top right on the signal bars then it disappears. The apn settings are being recognized as t-mobile and everything as far as I can tell is ok but it can't call, says only emergency...any help here?

[Q] Telus Note2 Rom,modem,signal SGH-I317M HELP Please..

Hello, well here i have been searching for over a year and reading the forums as well and getting more and more frustrated and need a straight forward answer from some one.
Issue 1 i would like to have a custom rom on my phone BUT and a big but it is, that the signal not be reduced in Any way i would not even settle for 1/2 db loss. from what i have been reading the biggest problem is screwing with roms that change the modem file. (am i right?) basicly what i would like is to have a stock android rom (vanilla) like cleanrom, but have my phone signal absolutely equal to my stock, of course if it got better which i don't expect it to, i wouldn't object to that.
Issue 2 How can i back up my current modem on my phone, i have yet to find any info how to do this step by step, or even find a true stock modem file from telus.
Issue 3 Is there a way that if i screw everything up and get no signal or less signal, a way to truly back up the entire phone so i could revert back to the way i am now 100%? ( an example would be if i had a computer and had made a image and burnt it to a cd if i screwed up the computer i would just reload the image and i would be back with every little crum of data from when i made the image). From what i have been reading it seems like most all backup of the current state of a phone don't include 100% everything, am i right or wrong?
Issue 4 Is there any true stock android (vanilla) rom out there ie. not something that someone other than google has made?
Anyway, accept my appreciation in advance for your help, maby i am just stuck with the stock telus offering but i am hoping for some enlightenment.
Oh and one more thing before i go one of the main things about stock that is really ticking me off is outgoing or incoming mms messages that are just pictures show up as a slide show, from what i have read feature.xml has a setting that i can add to fix this BUT i don't have feature.xml on my phone, do i have to download it somewhere and if so i have seached high and low for it and nothing plus is there a specifically formatted feature.xml for telus I317M?
Once again thanks in advance!

There are numerous custom ROMS that do not touch or include a MODEM, so there is nothing to mess-up as it relates to your signal strength. Your only concern needs to be selecting the correct kernel and ensuring you have your EFS partition (containing your IMEI) backed up.

Using ClockWorkMode to create a NANDroid backup and (if needed) restore using a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM is the process you are asking about. THis will fix a soft-brick.

Vanilla, would be something like the "plain/boring" interface that comes with the Nexus4. This would NOT have TouchWiz. Your S-Pen will no longer work as there are no drivers for it in the Vanilla interface. It was Samsung that wrote the drivers for the S-Pen and implemented the functionality for S-note and the gestures. Also, the integrated Wacom screen would be useless in the Vanilla interface until someone adds something to the Vanilla configuration that Google deployed (didn't you say you only wanted Google's version?).

I believe your i317M has it too. Most of the good stuff is tied into your CSC anyway, so it's not worth the effort to mess with that. I'd spend the time to play around with the build.prop instead.

Your easiest option is to simply root your Stock ROM and debloat the carrier bloatware. If anything goes wrong, you can always use ODIN to flash the stock firmware (and not lose anything in the process).

I use Telus Note 2 so I'll answer your questions based on my experience.
1) I don't notice signal differences. I've used stock roms, modded touchwiz roms, vanilla android, and I don't notice a signal difference. That being said, I don't check my signal because it's not as important as you finding it important. I don't think an issue at all.
2) Just make a nandroid backup after rooting your phone. Rooting won't change your modem. In TWRP recovery, you can nandroid backup with the modem. Also, some custom ROM threads, e.g. JEDI or Cleanrom have TELUS modems in the original post. You can flash that if your modem is changed (and as above poster mentioned, a lot of the ROMs don't even touch the modem anyways)
3) Nandroid (after rooting). You could also download the stock rom that you are on at the moment on www.sammobile.com (whether it's 4.1.1 or 4.1.2)
4) I don't know what you exactly want. CM? SlimBean? Clairfy please.
Also, I don't use MMS so I can't tell you. But you could always try a custom ROM to see if that helps. I use CleanRom 5.0 myself right now and it's been working fine.

I live in the sticks, haven't touched my modem files at all (running ProBam) but I recently noticed that while I can send pix as attachments to texts, I cannot receive them. If someone tries to send me a pic, nothing happens. I have tried probably a hundred different APN name settings, nothing seems to make a difference one way or another. There are approximately seven trillion results if you do a Google search on the subject, with just under seven trillion different 'answers'.
As for the modem files themselves, I have never touched mine (other than to back them up) and I am running the MA3 modem on my Telus phone. One thing I have noticed is that I never get LTE, not even when I go to the city where it is, but... Otherwise, I can't complain about the speed. I would be more curious about battery life and wi-fi speeds when it came to modem files, there is a chance that the older modem would work better for people in the sticks.

Wooeesssss

It was perfect, a match made in heaven!
I had the Dirty Unicorn mod installed on my phone with all the modem drivers working, all my software configured. But.... it seems there were some old CWM backup files left on the SD card which were taking up a bunch of space. So i backed up my system and formatted the sd card, and when i reboot i got the "missing modem" problem, where nothing modem related works. After several attempts I was able to restore the ASOP rom and install the modem driver zip immediately after the rom in CWM recovery.
But i was missing all my settings and apps. So i thought hey, i got it to work, i should be able to run my restore again. Nope... screwed, and now i cannot even do the first fix. nothing is working.
o if any one has any tips, i would greatly appreciate it!

I just installed slimkat (it is 4.4 but only a 140 meg file) and the modem is still not working. Now it says 0db, and i tried flashing the modem.
I also switched to TWRP in case CW was the problem. But this did not work either.
the Tmobile stock version is over a gig, and here in the nether regions of the planet the connection is very slow. So ill have to go to town and have someone download it for me.
I can sing the praises of the DU mod all day long, it is pretty and super fast/smooth! Great mod features and hacks. It was working perfectly, but my SD card reported having only 2 gigs free, and after formatting it has 10 gigs free but no modem function
i cannot even run USSD codes!!!

Damn bro that sucks. I get fast good signal and lte so I would only take 20-30 minutes to download.
I would flash asop roms but I eventually switch back to touchwiz. Mostly due to the fact that I like using my headset and I need aifi calling for certain places. And the last 4.4 rom I had was omni rom but I would lose root. Dn3 rom is the best touchwiz rom but unfortunately no wifi calling

Haha I dont think so bro. Odin should be able to fix it. As long as you havent ota update to 4.3 you should be fine. If you dont need wifi calling give DN3 rom a try. Just follow the post and it should go smooth. Just dont reboot and install mk7 modem. DN3 is cool because it has Note 3 features

to fix this issue download selinux mode changer from play store and set to permissive

Hmm did you try to odin it. Odin back to stock and try to reinstall the rom. Hopefully that should work

that is the next plan of action, but it is going to take two days to download, esp with all the power outages in Nepal

ooh damn that sucks. Hopefully you get your phone fixed

Protip if you don't already do this: especially with frequent power outages or unreliable internet connections, check your MD5 or SHA1 checksums when you download ROMs before flashing them.
On Windows, you can use md5sum in Cygwin or Hashtab (which is a Windows Explorer extension that give you a tab in a file's properties). On Linux, most distros have the binaries included by default.

trltespr thinks it's trltetmo or i'm stupid.

Alright guys, tried to do some searching on this topic - no help found. So i'm resorting to what I hate to do, flooding the forums with more topics. Little bit of background to help troubleshoot, I've been rooting and rom-ing for about 4 years now with all Verizon Samsung phones (locked bootloaders and all that fun stuff) but just switched to sprint recently and having a few issues with roms.
On to my issue...
My phone has been experiencing a bunch of lag lately. So bad where the phone locks up for about 5 to 7 seconds about 3-4 times an hour and it is getting annoying as it's locking it at some crucial points. So, I have TWRP on there, rooted on stock 4.4 and tried to flash CM12 nightlies for this phone (the Sprint version). TWRP refused to install it, saying that the phone itself was the trlteTMO version and couldn't flash the trlteSPR roms. I flashed the TMO CM12 nightly and it flashed perfectly fine, but my service didn't work. I believe I got 3G/LTE and calling (unsure, can't confirm.) But no texts went through. But what the great part was, is that it did not stutter and Lollipop was absolutely f-in' gorgeous. So i'm assuming the phone accepted the software, but the radios weren't correct. I loved CM12 so much, but I use XPOSED for a few things. (Basically just Keepchat), So i'm okay with going to CM12 if someone can get my Sprint phone, which i got through Sprint, to work with Sprint roms. I'm at a brick wall.
Mind you that I have access to a windows computer, but it's junk and would rather flash using ODIN PRO on my phone, or just using my recovery. I use a Macbook Pro as my daily, but I can't get heimdall to work as i once did on my S3. I can't even find support or any downloads for it. So, i'm pretty much back to noob status and just need some good guidance. Thank you for reading, and help me flash something new!

Did you use the correct recovery for spr? Is only thing I can think of.... Maybe you flashed the tmo recovery

Definitely checking that. Sounds like it could be a very good reason for it to reject the tar.

Using a .tar file in recovery could be your 1st problem....

I agree with spleef. There's no other reason I can think of that would cause TWRP recovery to not install a sprint rom and give you that error message. You should really double check the tar files bwhen downloading them and definitely before flashing them with odin. Another thing, you are very brave for knowlingly flashing a T-Mobile rom on your Sprint phone. Seriously, you might want to Odin back to the stock. Sprint NK2 rom .tar and startb over fresh. It would be in your best interest at this point.

Excuse me, you're right. The recovery file was not tar. You're correct though, that does seem as it would just a littttttle bit of an issue..

I cannot fully confirm that it was the wrong TWRP as the only recoveries I had on my computer and phone storage were sprint versions.
I did however reinstall the sprint recovery again after having to flash back to stock due to a random bootloop issue. So after reflashing 4.4 stock, reinstalling the recovery and restoring to a previous backup, I am now clean flashed on 5.0.2 all cellular features working on CM12 Official.
Mods, if you could please close or delete this thread, that would be appreciated.
Thank you @spleef, I'm sure you were correct anyways.
