I have searched the forum and used google, but i havent seen this question so i ask it here...
I have a phone in front of me that I rooted and unlocked the SIM, after that i gave the phone to my dad.. The problem comes now, he used samsungs FOTA and it failed.. Now the phone cant boot, and i cant get into recovery mode.. it tries update and gets to like 50% after that i get the msg "update failed 0x800000D1" if i remove the sd-card it just tries to look for it, and if i move the fota directory or the file 2400258.cfg, it just load for a second and then try to boot the ordinary way..
and the second problem is that i cant use odin because the computer wont recognize the phone not even with Kies or sammobile drivers so the download mode is gone to..
Before flashing Odin need to destroy all of the processes on the computer Kies.
Sorry for my english -_-
The problem is that the phone isn't recognized by the computer, been trying different drivers, so thats why i can't go that way. if i check in Device manager on the phone there is no ID for the phone so thats why it cant be used with the computer i think..
bump?
Try to install this drivers on your computer and then try to reflash a firmware with odin

I'm new and I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place or re-posting an old question, but I have been searching on this and other sites for days and haven't been able to find anything pertaining to my question, so sorry in advance If I'm not posting this correctly.
I have a rooted epic touch with rogue boot loader installed and UnNamed rom installed. I really liked the way it was running until I had some kind of malfunction happened and now the battery charge light won't shut off and the battery drains within a couple hours of standby time. the phone is only a couple months old and would like to take it to the sprint store as I'm assuming this is an obvious hardware issue. My problem is that my pc doesn't recognize my phone anymore so I can't flash back to stock and get rid of root, voiding my warranty. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies and stand alone drivers multiple times with no avail. I've tried with the battery and sd card removed and have also tried on multiple pc's (2 win7 and and xp machine). every time it says the drivers weren't installed successfully and to replace the device being connected.
My question: Is there a way to revert to stock off of the internal memory of the phone? I know there are zip roms you can flash from the boot loader but I was wondering if there was a way to flash a rom from zip and install the original boot loader as well as get rid of root? Any help I can get would be extremely appreciated and again I apologize if I am wasting anyone's time by asking in the wrong place or re-asking a question.
Ok so I downloaded the Calkin's_Stock_Rooted_EK02_ROM_v1.0 and got it on my sd card via dropbox. Flashed and now have a stock rom on it which I think is a step in the right direction.
The only thing is now I have clockwork boot loader and still rooted. and still not recognizing on pc. anyone know of an unrooted zip with original boot loader?
I couldn't get my PC to recognize either of my 2 E4GT's, each due to a different reason, both issues were resolved by going through each step in sfhub's debugging checklist:

This post is for the FAQ section:
Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected?
Your phone isn't being recognized by your PC as an Android device.
When the drivers are installed and the phone is properly recognized, you should see the following in start->run->devmgmt.msc
Code:
Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface
Modem
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem
Until you get the SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface to show up, neither ADB nor this script will work.
Here is a debugging checklist:
1) dial ##UPST# (##8778#) in the dialer and verify AP (or ALL) is checked (if CP is checked, phone won't be recognized as an Android device)
2) restart the ADB server (choose Option G to stop the server, it'll get started automatically by the script)
3) verify USB Debugging is ENABLED
4) verify USB drivers are installed (Win7-64bit see below)
5) try a different usb cable
If you are in Win7-64bit try changing the default install location for the drivers:
If you see an error like this:
Try running the CMD prompt (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) as Administrator. Right-click on the CMD icon (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) and select "Run As", then select Administrator.
If that doesn't work, try disabling windows firewall.

I went down that list and everything seemed to be in order but still no recognition by pc. I kept uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and switching usb ports and it finally installed the drivers successfully long enough for odin to recognize it and to flash back to stock. As soon as it was done the machine stopped recognizing it again. Lucky break I guess. So I can now return it to sprint and deal with the hardware issue.
I would still like to find a zip file like the tar that I flashed that installs stock recovery and non rooted ek02 rom and kernel from cwm, if that's even possible.
Thanks Godswrath, for helping me out.
You could use wifi explorer to get files on to sd card and mobile Odin to flash the tar file back to stock....

Lol....I am a noob.
They make a mobile Odin? That would have saved my like 4 hours....
Seems like my sister got her Wave bricked. Actually, she didnt do anything with it. Its just that the handset is stuck in a boot-loop. So my plan was to reflash FW. I can enter download mode. But when i connect it to a computer, it only gives the error message that the usb device has malfunctioned. I already tried my desktop and my laptop. Anything else I might want to try? Kinda lost here

Try to install Kies for the drivers.
Download any firmware you want and flash it.
Best Regards
Well, i have Kies already installed together with newest USB drivers. Still, it says that the USB device is not recognized because it has malfunctioned or so ...
I tried to install new software with odin but my pc shut down during the process. Now the phone shows a message to recover with kies but I can`t connect with computer. When I try with odin I get a message "can not connect with stock COM port". Can someone help me to recover the phone and get it working? Thanks!
I SUCCEEDED TO FLASH PHIL`S RECOVERY AND IT`S FIXED
Hello,
I wanted to install a non-official lollipop rom on my brand new s4 mini, so at first i rooted it, so i followed that tutorial : android.stackexchange.com/questions/54074/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-lte-gt-i9195.
Everything goes right until i discovered that i didn't have the recovery mode on...(number 8 of the tutorial)
Everytime i try to put my s4 in Recovery Mode, the Download Mode was starting, i don't understand why.
I tried in an another laptop with Kies 3, same problem.
Now i come back to my own laptop, but there is an other issue, the cellphone only start in download mode (even if I want to start it normally), here is the screenshot : img11.hostingpics.net/pics/757584galaxys4.jpg (sorry, i don't have the right to put some external links on my messages for now)
Plus windows doesn't recognize him, even if i delete and install samsung usb devices drivers, there is no way that windows dectects my cellphone.
Is there a way to put the original ROM from the factory or a way to avoid this "Download mode issue" ?
Thanks a lot
You must flash stock firmware. It seems the recovery on ur phone is messed up. Try using another pc. Also do not use files or instructions posted outside xda. They are not reliable.

Thanks a lot for the links, but the problem is that my S4 mini isn't recognized on my laptop, and like i said, it's stuck in Download Mode and Odin doesn't give a **** about my phone, so i cannot access to step 5.
The screen is fixed and it's written in red :
"Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE"
[...]
In blue : "SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE"
DOWNLOADING... DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I really don't know what can i do
Repeat the procedure of uninstallung and reinstalling usb drivers. But reboot ur pc in between. Then remove battery from phone..wait for one or two minutes and reinsert. Now boot to download mode using button combo. Vol down+ home + Power. Connect to pc at different usb port and start odin as administrator.
Hopefully it should recognise.
It doesn't change a thing unfortunatly...I seriously have a strange behaviour...I don't understand why windows doesn't recognize my cellphone, specially when i'll do all what you told me
There is no way to make my PC recognizes my phone ? I don't understand why, by default, he's starting in download mode...

What else does the download mode say ? Does it say something like " KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0X1 "
Do you have warranty ? If so then take ur phone to service centre and tell them there was power failure while samsung kies was updating ur phone to latest software.
Hopefully they will fix it free of cost [if u have warranty]
I made a link on my first message (but i have less than 10 messages so the link policy tell me that i cannot post a link with the link tag, anyway here is a snapshot of my phone : img11.hostingpics.net/pics/757584galaxys4.jpg
I know this is an old thread, but still, did you ever fix this problem? I'm having the same issue. The device is not seen at all by my pc when connected, with or without drivers. Therefore no way of flashing or installing anything from the computer.
Hey there guys!
Recently I wanted to get some custom ROM on my brother's Gio. It had stock Samsung software on it, did a factory wipe in recovery, worked perfectly, then I installed CWM in the orignal recovery from the SD card - didn't root before. Since then I can't boot into Recovery, however Android booted up. I tried to use some apps in software to get rid of this problem, but ROM Manager said the device is not supported, then I tried another one called Rashr, which had a question relating to recovery I guess instantly on the app's startup, I hit "Reboot" since then the phone is bricked. If I turn it on with just the power button, it shows the Samsung logo, stuck in a bootloop. I can't access recovery, only dumpram, and Download Modes. I tried fixing this with reinstalling the stock stuff through Odin, but the software doesn't detect the phone. Tried installing Kies, standalone USB drivers, multiple Odin versions, different cables, ports, different computer, nothing worked. When I connect the phone to my PC it plays the "device connected sound" but I got a message, that it's an unidentified device. Went into Device manager, where it recognizes it as a Samsung USB device, with the yellow triangle. Tried updating the driver manually from the manufacturer's list, uninstalling then reinstalling the drivers with no luck. Also I tried cleaning the USB port of the phone, still nothing.
The computers I've tried are running Windows 8.1.
Please help me, I think I've tried everything still the device is bricked.
I have same problem.
did you fix it ?
weLL ,sad to say it but ,its neither worth the effort,time or my typing these letters up here to remind you ,that it's neither the end of days or expensive to buy something this side of the stone aGe ! have fun but not with that one ;(
