[Q] Odin help? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I'm on the latest Tmobile stock firmware, and I'm trying to root. However, when I install Odin and put the phone into Download Mode, it doesn't connect after plugging in the USB cable. The box ID:COM stays blank. If I connect the phone while it's on, it'll connect as a media device, just not in Download Mode. Any pointers? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: In case anyone else has this problem, I resolved it by plugging the USB cable directly into the computer. I had an extension cable since my computer was in a bad spot. Stupid me.

Make sure ur USB debugging mode is turned on (under phone settings, developer options), if that doesnt do it...
Make sure kies is disabled (uninstall if need be - I technically never did but others reported it as a solution, so I might as well) , if that dont work...
Install Mskips latest toolkit and redownload his drivers (option 1 I believe)... you can still root whatever way you want but I havent heard anyone have issues connecting to Odin with his drivers

Also, might as well throw in, since your not rooted, now might be a good time to backup your phones modem/radio/NV/imei files as those things can mess up (as a few have reported, very few I should say) during the root process... very few but better safe than sorry

Thanks for the response. USB debugging was on, Kies wasn't even installed. I'll try Mskip's tookbox and see. As for making a backup, what program do you suggest? Does the toolbox do it?

[Q] computer doesnt read evo

hey guys,
i have an htc evo, rooted with unrevoked and running the current fresh rom and a custom kernel, and up until now the fact that my computer doesnt read my evo didnt bother me, but now i want to add music and whatnot lol. my cable works fine, i tested it with a friends phone and my comp read it perfectly, and it also charges my phone so it cant be that. i have a feeling it has something to do with the root...but idk what exactly. anyone having the same problems?
I had that problem before rooting, it worked fine after flashing my first rom (CM6).
I think it's a fairly common, however random, problem with the Evo. If you're using a usb cable longer than ~2 feet, it will only charge.
EDIT: If you can't get it to work, you can use a wifi file explorer or ftp client to move files. I bought an app called "Websharing" or something similar because it has support for webdav which is just like plugging your phone in to the computer. You can drag and drop files through the file explorer on your computer. If you're one of those people that riots if an app isn't updated, don't bother. It hasn't been updated in over a year. I'm not sure if there are any other apps with webdav.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Make sure u have USB debugging enabled in settings
Why are you still using wires lol.
Have you tried going into recovery and selecting the USB-MS option? Oftentimes, when your computer refuses to recognize your device, it does when selecting the aforementioned from within recovery. Give it a try, if you haven't already.

The USB debugging is enabled so it can't be that. I've got clockwork running as my recovery but idk where to go exactly to enable the USB from recovery. Ill try that app out btw that sounds alot easier lol

It doesn't matter in recovery. ClockworkMod *should* have that option or similar option somewhere in its menu. Probably in the advanced menu, but I'm only guessing. I use amon_RA.

I had to uninstall HTC Sync, leave the drivers however. The see if it shows up as an Android Device.
I know when I had this problem I turned off usb debugging and my comp found it quickly don't know if you tried that yet nut its worth a shot

That did the trick. After playing around with clockwork i found the "mount-usb" and clicked it of course. Now my computer reads my phone Why is it though that the computer wont read it just from the plug, and that you have to go into recovery to enable it? Just curious now.

It's like that sometimes, especially if you disconnect your device from the computer before you unmount. Usually, a re-flash of the rom will restore the capability.

I think i bricked my epic.

I was angry at my current rom which was on MTD so i decided just to you the old samsung "phone flash utility" (Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe) that was uploaded on their site like a year ago to go back to stock. well i think since the phone was MTD it didnt work and now its stock at the connect cable screen, is there anything i can do?
I am running CleanGB MTD. The first time I tried to install it I had a bad download & needed to redo it from scratch. I used the Samsung EB13 Windows Installer utility to restore my phone back to stock & had no problems at all. It was up & running on MTD just had a few errors that I did not have time to fix that morning & I ran it for a few days after restoring with the utility, rooting, & restoring my backup. But now I'm enjoying the MTD goodness.....
Can you get back into download mode?
If so I would get a different USB cable & try running the installer again.

from what ive been reading on the threads, i believe you can just odin back, and back sure you have reboot and re-partition checked marked.
I found out what the problem was. I should have known this because this happened to me once before. I was using my front USB ports. Front ports on most pc's are only 1.0 and you need to use the back 2.0 ones to work. Most people think its cable issues but its usually just USB port. This samsung utility is a complete gem! screw odin. thanks for the response!!!

thanks guys. Yeah ive been using that sammy file since ec05 came out. this is the 3rd brick maybe 4th it got me out of. it works for EVERYTHING. better than odin.
Wow, I didn't know this exe thing existed. Odin has NOT been working on my home PC for tje past few weeks(months?) and that has kept me from trying anything that would require Odin to recover from, i.e. mtd.
Glad I read here in the Q&A pretty regularly. Most of the time I'm seeing if there's anyone I can help, but times like this I end up learning new things.

I am at work so I cannot post the file I have, but I put the file name in & searched in Google & several download options popped up.
Google Search: Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe
Check it out & let me know if you need me to post a copy of the file, I saw several already on services like multiupload in the search.
Look at the thread stickied in development. The Samsung tool won't work all the time.

So my friend gave me his phone to see if I could fix it. It loops in CWM and won't get out of it and I can't connect with odin to it. (My phone connects just fine.) This is the only other thing I can think of. Anyone else got other ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------
Well tried it and phone still not discovered by the PC. I am at a loss at what to do. I know my friend tried to install some type of rom to it and didn't make a backup. It boots in to CWM non-stop and I can flash zips but it never leaves that loop even after the flashes. I can boot into Download mode but the phone won't be recognized. Tried both Odin and this. The phone is getting charged through the cable though which confuses me even more. Any help?!
Anyone have any ideas?! I am at a loss at what to do!

Use a different cable with odin... it may be charging it but its not getting a data connection... also put into download mode and plug in usb... then "jiggle" the cord until it recognizes it...

Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Then also try Odin with the battery and phone plugged in. Make sure you use a better cable than stock.

PC data transfer issues

I have upgraded to an S3 from having a Vibrant for years. I rooted and flashed several OS's to my Vibrant in those years without an issue ever. I have been trying to get files transferred to my S3 from my computer for 2 weeks now. The computer has the drivers installed correctly. It is recognized by name when I plug it in (it comes up as SGH-T999, Kies will recognize it too). whenever i try to transfer ANYTHING it stops in the middle of the transfer. just sits there with no further progress to be achieved. This is insanely frustrating. I am unable to root this thing because of the inability to actually transfer.
Things I have tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling Kies multiple times
Uninstalling all USB device drivers multiple times
Reinstalling drivers through Kies and through Samsung's website multiple times
Factory reset on the phone multiple times (****ing aggravating btw)
Using my old Vibrant cable
Changing between MTP and camera mode... several times
Yelling at it
I have been trying to research how to fix this garbage for weeks now. there is no concrete way to remedy this problem that i have found. every thread about this is littered with the usual "uninstall your driver and reinstall it" nonsense that is the most generic response to anything tech related ever.
What I can tell you is that my phone is definitely getting recognized by anything that can do so. Odin, Kies, My computer, etc etc... it appears that the issue lies in the actual data transfer. As I mentioned, transfers initiate but will lock up mid-process and just hang there infinitely. Same goes with Odin when I try to get it to flash into CWM recovery.
Please, help. any time spent trying to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
Are you uding the usb cable thst came with the phone?
Have you tried different cables? Or on another computer?
Im guessing your not rooted then?
Try installing the drivers ONLY. get them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728605
Uninstall previous versions of everything first.
What version odin are you using? Use 3.07 from above post if you're not already.
Also try this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
If you are rooted try SwiFTP or another wireless transfer app.
Sorry to mention drivers again but if you're relying on kies to do that for you it could be the issue.

Since you've tried everything else might as well follow this guide and install the drivers through the toolkit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28175575
I'd also run windows update and check if there's a new bios/drivers for your mobo and usb controller.
If you plug another "foreign" usb device does it install fine?
May not have any bearing whatsoever here but do you have usb debugging checked? And I think I mentioned it in the other post but try a different computer if possible.
You said that this happens when using odin too? As in you start the flash with Odin but it doesn't complete? Or it wont even start? Does it give you any message?
When plugged in in download mode, does Odin show your COM port in the upper left?
Plug in the phone and open device manager. Does it show any errors or anything?

I recommend an app called airdroid. I had issues transferring stuff to and from my Mac and haven't had any problems since I started using the program. Besides it's wireless so I don't have to worry about the wires being a problem

everything else works fine from my 6 USB ports (2 USB 3.0 ports as well). The tool kit solution still needs Odin to root. The problem is not detecting the device. it is the transferring of data. Data transfers begin but that's about it. Odin gets to "firmware update start" and then "boot.img" and just hangs there forever. no change. nothing else.
Is there a wireless way to do this? I have purchased Rom Manager but since i can't achieve root it is just useless now. The phone is brand new from the Tmobile store. Not once has it been dropped (to put into perspective how careful i am with my devices, I managed to drop my Vibrant once in ~3 years, which caused no damage, what a great phone that was). I have not been able to read about this same issue anywhere else either...generally its an issue with the PC not recognizing the device but when someone gets it to link up correctly, it works. this is the opposite.
thank you for your ideas so far.

Odin shows the "0:COM" like it should, which means it is able to read that the device is there, it just is unable to do anything after "boot.img", everything that is needed for this to work via the toolkit method is checked (USB debug and unknown sources).
I just got the s3 and had transfer issues too. Turns out my s2 drivers wasn't perfect for it even though it recognizes the device. I used the s3 drivers instead and that helped things a bit with accessing my phone's storage. So i ended up formatting my internal storage and that seems to do the trick for me.
If that doesn't work and odin still gets stuck then try different usb ports also try different wires

Try connecting without the external sdcard in.
What build are you currently on. Since you haven't roited or anything im assuming you're still on either UVALEM or UVALG1. If so try initiating the software update. It should download the ota thatll take you up to UVALH2. Maybe that'll help.

Did you do that through terminal? doesn't the single partition mean that it would wipe everything?
Make sure the drivers you are using are the same ones that are in my comment (version).
What are you trying to flash through Odin? If the permissions of the files inside the tar file are not correct, the transfer will hang, and do nothing but give a timeout message after a couple minutes. I learned this the hard way.
In summary:
Use a different USB cable.
Download drivers, Odin, and CWM from my signature. After uninstalling the old drivers manually through devman (be sure to delete them during uninstall), reinstall them from the package you downloaded. Then use Odin to flash CWM. All three of these packages are tested and known to be 100% working. Please don't ignore this step. If I can't verify the validity of your installation sources, I can't rule this out for troubleshooting purposes.
If this doesn't work, it is most likely your computer. Are there any BIOS firmware updates that improve USB compatibility, or USB controller driver updates? The USB 3.0 isn't natively supported on =< Win7, so those are third party drivers. But I will assume you are connected to a USB 2.0 port.

None of that worked. I did find a BIOS upgrade for my mobo that i didnt know was released, flashed it, and transfers still hang. i tried everything from your sig to no avail. i DON'T have access to another computer... BUT i do have Ubutnu running on my comp in conjunction with Win 7 Ultimate 64. can't seem to find too much on non-international S3 stuff for linux.
this has consumed my entire day and i am so frustrated.
Try in safe mode? This sounds really frustrating. I gave up when this happened with my mac. I think someone said it already but I always recommend Airdroid. It's just simpler.

so let me get this straight... you plugged the phone in, right clicked on it in a browser window, clicked on format, selected yes to the "hey, this is going to erase everything on the device" warning pop up, and you were able to transfer files no problem after that? no adverse side effects came from this? it sounds like it would brick the phone...

Yeah I'm starting to think you might need to use a different computer. Odin detects so it's not drivers.
From my experience with the hangs when i was on the s2. Many also reported this but what helped was different usb ports, wires, or an entirely different computer.

AT&T Galaxy S3 with CM 10 not connecting to PC

I am having issues getting my AT&T Galaxy S3 with CM 10 to connect to my PC so I can view it in Windows Explorer. Here is what I have tried doing:
Tried three different cables that worked previously
Tried different PC/laptops with the same OS, Win7 64bit
Re-install Samsung drivers
Clean flash CM10
Restore back to stock TW
Did a battery pull
I am just at a loss on what to do to get it to work. My computers don't see the phone in Device Manager, but will charge the phone. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Should I contact AT&T or Samsung to get a replacement?

I've seen a few others in the CM10 thread saying the same thing. The second poster here said he is having the issue to but on AOKP, which is built off of CM10. I just wonder if it's the port on the phone? I went back to stock to try it yesterday and still have the issue, so it makes me think that its either the port or something on Windows 7. But I would think if it was the port, then it wouldn't charge.
I am on AOKP on 10/28 build with Tasks thread.
This issue wasn't there last time i checked about 4 or 5 builds ago (since i don't plug my phone in that often).
I'm about to install Windows 8 on my computer, lets see what that does xD

I don't plug mine in that often either, only to upload my backup of my phone to my Google Drive account, which I do weekly. Its worked on my PC before, so maybe its a hardware issue.

I was trying to see was it a global issue with CM10, but since you're on the same build as I am, with me having no issues, I know it can fixed... No need to install Windows 8...
Try this:
Uninstall all Drivers, and Kies if installed
Reboot
Install these drivers
Reboot
Place your phone into Download Mode and open ODIN
Hook up
See if at least those drivers will install
If they do, unhook your phone, boot it up normally, and hook it back up

Device Manager see's the phone in Download mode.

No it doesn't. I am making a nandroid backup right now. I think I am gonna Odin flash it back to stock/unroot and see if it will work there. Then if it does I will root again and clean flash CM10 and not restore my data.

If you're going to go to stock, you can use the prerooted image, save you a few steps...

I remember from the Cappy days, there were driver cleaning scripts... I wonder do I have one laying around from then... long time ago though, so I doubted...
I'll try the method I know and report back. Maybe this afternoon before I do.
Well I am back on full stock after Odin force install and still my PC doesn't see my phone. I proceeded to put my phone into Download mode from stock and my PC installs the drivers because it can see my phone. I am officially stumped.

I've tried different cables and PC's but I am at work right now. I will leave it on stock until I get home and I'll try it on my desktop and laptop with the official cable. I'm doing a chat with Samsung support to see what they say right now.

How to recover this options ?

My galaxy note 8 (n5110) was working perfectly until I installed, greenify + xposed installer... I noticed it was draining my battery; uinstalled it. But battery still draining. Did a reset factory, and didn't fix the problem. I flashed a stock rom and it solved the problem.
Everything was working perfectly, until i installed triangle away (wanted to reset my flashcounter)... worked so smooth.
But... surprise!!
*Whenever is connected to my laptop; it makes the sound but doesn't show the dialog box (, neither shows on my laptop.
BUT it detects it in download mode!
*USB Settings disappeared from my tablet. (that options doesn't exist anymore)
*S Note opens but it suddenly closes. Doesn't work.
And when turn tablet on, it does show a blank screen for 3 seconds (instead of the galaxy note n5110) and then the samsung animation and loads fast.
I've tried fixing everything, flashing stock rom again, reset factory, flashing only system, over and over, but nothing works.
I need help. It's rooted. Custom recovery...
What should I do? Advices? Help!?

I understand this might be a foolish and maybe an unnecessary question but I am going to ask anyway.... since you have custom recovery have you made a back up of your setup when it was running good?

Yes,but somehow my tablet didn't want to read my sd card and had to formatted... neither my laptop wanted to read it. So I lost it.
Right now, my tablet allows me to connect and detect only in 'download mode'.
I hate to say this but seeing as though you have lost everything already on your SD card and only can get the Note into download mode I would say that there is not much left then either try to flash a custom recovery thru Odin or a complete reflashing of a stock Rom and start over.
Give this a try http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type in your model number and flash thru Odin.
And for a custom recovery (Philz) you could look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552657
Hoping this helps

Already did all of that. And everytime I start fresh and clean, it does the same thing... same problem, even with the stock rom; no usb settings, connect it to the laptop, makes the sound but doesn't show anything unless it is connected 'download mode', I can flash it.
S notes does close.
Blank screen and then samsung animation and boots up...
It's really weird!
My tablet is working perfectly except that I want to have back those things; I want to be able to connect via USB and read my sd card.
Did you try to reinstall the Samsung drivers on your PC ?
Also do you have developer options? If so see if USB debugging is checked

orompti means
Yes. Also, I wipe cache, partition, and almost everything... then flash it with stock rom (download it from samsung) and it does the same thing, over and over; same problem.
Tha problem is not the cable 'cause I can connect it (ODIN) download mode. And it makes the sound, everytime I connect it. But doesn't show the USB dialog!

It's enabled already!
Ok have you tried to disable it and reboot the Note and try it again, the pop up box states that some device might not work properly with it checked, its worth giving it a try
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Still not working.
Does the same thing; only puts an "X" over the battery icon, makes the sound but nothing...
I just did a little reading and came across this http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDo...-Device-Driver-293101125-Download-190148.html that's the driver for MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) give that a try
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
No, not working.
Same thing. Only detected in 'download mode'.
If I go to setting/configuration doesn't show the Usb setting option..
This might sound unnecessary but have you tried different cables?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Yes, different cables.. and makes the sound when I connect it, but same problem.
I'm planning to try flashing again, perhaps stock rom again or custom rom... I'l try whatever it takes!
Advices? Other ideas?
What does the Nand Erase option does in Odin? Do you know?
No I don't and I would not mess with that, what version of Odin are you using?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
3.07... version.
I flashed again with stock rom, and didn't fix the problem.
Perhaps, there's no solution yet!
Download and install Odin 1.85 and try to fresh download the stock firmware here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are enabled. Also, ensure that the Re-partition checkbox is NOT enabled

Can you check this,
When you plug in your USB cable does the icon connected as... appear in the notification bar? If so drag that down and click on it, you should see storage settings .... connect as with two options MTP and PTP if MTP is checked try to check PTP with the USB cable plugged in and the PC will automatically install the necessary drivers and see if this will recognise the Note.
