What can I do if the computer isn't recognizing the my device?
Rebooted the computer
Redownloaded the drivers (at least I think I did)
Tried with a brand-new cable from Radio Shack
Anything else that could be tried?
Running bamboozle 1.1 on EF02 modem. Does the modem matter? Will it help if I do a nandroid restore from another modem?
Thanks to all!
Try to reinstall the drivers again. Try different USB ports and make sure your phone is in debug mode.

Drivers for Odin are not installd automatically unless someone put together a complete set. With USB debugging on connect to your computer. Go to Control panel>system>device manager and under USB go to Android Samsung. Hit update drivers through windows update and wait for it to find and install all 5 drivers. Takes over a half an hour.

isn't that used for getting root on froyo?
How does that help you when you odin and set the phone to download mode by turnimg phone on and holding 1 on the keyboard?
I don't think any of the os loads for usb debugging to matter?!?

Because Odin needs the drivers that are loaded with usb debugging on as I mentioned in my post to you. Dude, if you are not going to try what we suggest exactly as we suggest it why do you post asking for help? Not to mention there have been like 30 other threads exactly like this. If you don't have all 5 drivers loaded you will not connect to Odin.

I'm not the one with the odin problem from the op. I just suggested a fix I've been using recently because of a nagging problem I've had. I don't enable usb debugging, yet I get all the drivers to load.

Hmmm...it's possible it loaded the drivers previously and the extra needed drivers for Odin were already on your computer. Unless you loaded it from a driver package that had them all. If so a link to those drivers would be helpful to the OP since I don't think he has all the drivers needed.

Try This.
Sometimes, only 1 port will get the proper recognition...
As I odin'd to EG22 today. I had my old laptop not recognize my phone, after trying all ports, and checking each, uninstalling, reinstalling, scanning for plug and play devices in device manager with little luck. Anyway, I ended up using my dad's awesome Win 7 laptop, no issues, recognized immediately after installing the samsung drivers.
If another laptop/desktop is not an option for you, try different ports, also, have device manager open, go down to usb ports, and uninstall the 'unknown device' and just scan for plug and play.
Device Manager is found by typing it in on Vista or Seven. And on XP by going to Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->System-->Select the Hardware Tab--> Click on the Device Manager Button. Enjoy and I hope I helped.
for some reason I only one USB port that i can use. The other 3 will not work at all. This is on a Dell laptop.
not sure if this helps

Yes. Whichever port you installed the drivers on is the one Odin works on. Does that on my Gateway as well.

any help would be much appreacited thanks in advanced
With USB debugging on, plug your phone in and go to Device Manager and under samsung android choose update driver from Windows Update. Let it find all the drivers. You could also try Odin with the battery out.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Try plugging your phone in after its already In download mode... odin never recognizes my phone unless it was in download mode before I plugged it in....
use a different usb cable
i bet you are booting the phone into download mode while being connected to odin. correct? if i'm right, you can't do that. do what flastnotes says
I've tried connecting while already in download mode still nothing tried different cables still nothing I'm lost

Uninstall and Reinstall the drivers.... this phone can be very finiky... sometimes you gotta just uninstall and reinstall drivers and try different cables... its annoying but eventually it will connect.... idk why everyone has problems with odin... never once had a single problem... every phone and cpu is different though... just keep trying, it'll connect eventually...

Uninstall and reinstall the drivers... my cpu before would do that and uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers fixed it 100% of the time...
Where should I download the drivers from because the ones I got don't seem to be working .. I got them from the Samsung website .. is there any other place I can get them from?

If you uninstall the drivers and then just replug your phone in your cpu "should" install them on its own... that's how I did it and it worked for me....
Can you connect to your phone via your computer when your phone is on and you select USB?
If yes, then your phone should not be broken, and it should be a cord/usb port/driver issue
Did you try a different USB port as well?
Also, did you try a different version of Odin?

It is definitely a driver issue. Do what was recommended and remove the drivers. Then turn on usb debugging, plug in the phone and let Windows rescan for drivers. Wait until it gets all of them. There are 5 I think.

So I've tried flashing both CM9 and CM10 roms but no matter what I do I can't get it to recognize my sdcard or my internal storage on my Mac. I've even tried formatting the card to fat32 and still nothing. Any ideas what I should do to get this to work? How is it working for you guys? I would post this in the CM threads but I rather not clutter it with questions. Thanks in advance
What do you mean it won't recognize your sdcard? The recovery won't read it? If so, which recovery do you have?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
When connected, you should get a notification telling you that your phone is connected via USB.
Select it, and make sure that it's connected as PTP.
MTP does not work on Macs.

Sounds like you should just invest in an external SD card reader. Or look into wireless file transfer even though I don't trust that when it comes to transferring roms... I don't use macs so I'm little help lol.

Thats exactly what I use when Im on FREE GS3 rom, but whenever I switch to a CM9 or CM10 rom it just doesnt mount. Im starting to think maybe its the kernel CM based roms are using
PTP currently does not work on Cm9/10 roms, which is why your having problems it is the main reason keeping me away from using either one as a daily driver for now
Any updates on this? I'm using the latest CM10 nightly - it would sure be nice to be able to connect to my Mac.

Being a Mac user I know the issue you are talking about. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition. In finder open Applications-Utilities-Boot Camp. There will be a printable tutorial. The Boot Camp application literally walks you through the process. I have found this method far better than running a V.M.
still no fix?
Hi
Hi,
Im using the latest S3 CM
ANd this seems to work for me
1. Install Kies.
2. In kies go to tools and use the option to reinstall drivers.
3. Install Android File transfer
4. Reboot mac
5. Connect your GS3 and run Android File transfer
Works for me.
Cheers

I had touch recovery installed on phone. I then proceeded to install cwm based recovery because that is what author of the rom said. After I was done installing CWM on phone, I then started installing the custom rom along with the gapps that came with it. Now my phone doesn't boot into the custom rom at all. I just see the Samsung boot logo, then the screen goes black. I am able to boot into recovery mode though. I see there are guides. They mention to hold both the up and down volume button, but nothing happens. Am I missing something here. Any help is appreciated.

I have the same issue where I installed the CWM based recovery and was able to install the ROM successfully without any problems. Couple of days later I decided to go into recovery mode to take a backup before I flash a newer nightly. I was not able to get into the recovery mode at all and it just goes to the Samsung logo and stays there. Can't boot the phone either!! It's just weird that the Vol up + Down combos or the Vol Up + Power combos do not work either.
What are the other options that I should try?

That's strange because as long as u can get into DL mode Odin should work, all JTAG does is force the phone into DL mode so u can flash the firmware, but since u can access DL mode JTAG won't help u, and if it was hardbricked it would show up in window as qcom-dsload or something like that, the ps3 maybe won't recognize it because there is no recovery installed but I would try a new computer, search drivers for t989 and install that driver and use Odin 1.85, if none of that works then idk man but it should work...
