USB Not Recognized after Gingerbread (ACS Bamboozle) Flash

I've tried everything. I've been at it for about 4 hours and i can't figure out why my epic wont mount to my computer anymore. I've reinstalled samsung device drivers, both old and new, i've switched data cables, i've switched USb debugging on/off, i've used different usb ports, i've let it sit overnight without the battery, i've used the dialer code ##8778# to make sure i have it as PDA. None of these work.
I wish i could ODIN back to stock, but without the ability of my pc to recognize my epic, there is not point. ODIN won't recognize it in download mode.
So i'm stuck with ACS bamboozle. not that its a bad rom, but its kinda buggy and i've lost the ability to mount my epic.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Why not just flash a new rom through cwm? Then your usb might work on the new one lol..... think cwm before having the smallest thought about odin.......

Have you tried putting you USB on debugging, connecting to computer, try to connect, go into control panel>system>device manager and see what is connecting under USB or Other. It may be Samsung Android....click that and choose update drivers, then pick from Windows Update and leave it alone while it finds all the drivers. Will take a long time. That's how I fixed it on my laptop.

If i want to flash a modem, I need ODIN.
Can I flash stock EC05 through cwm even after Bamboozle? Im thinking it will work, but it won't return me back to stock.

Yup, tried that. It says "Unknown Device" in my device manager. When i try to update it, it says that i have the latest drivers for it already.

The drivers are definitely your issue then. Uninstall the drivers then try the same method. Otherwise download the drivers and reinstall if it won't let you search for updated drivers.

Usually after I can't connect to the computer after flashing a new rom I can flash a rom that i know worked with my pc and then my computer will recognize the phone again so then I can use odin but that's just me..... I know alot of roms that wouldn't connect through the usb.....

I've downloaded 3 versions of the samsung mobile device drivers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all of them, individually.
Nothing works.

FLASH A DIFFERENT ROM IN CWM!!!!!!! :/ reason stated in my above post jeez

I did flash a different rom.
I flashed RandomRom's "Egret" and it still didn't recognize it.

I've flashed 5 different roms. All with complete wipes of sd card and factory reset.
I cannot get my phone to mount to my computer, therefor i cannot get to ODIN.
This all happpened after i flashed gingerbread leak. wtf.

Do what I said earlier and let Windows Update search for drivers.

What about flashing the ReRFS ROM that brings you back to stock? Also, I know its basic, did you reboot your PC after re-installing the drivers?

Tried that. It just says that windows has determined the best drivers are already installed.

Yup, tried the ReRFS rom as well and it still says, "USB not recognized."
I even tried it on two other computers, and its the same. There is something def. wrong with my phone.

I already tried flashing several different roms. None work.

Mass storage still works? If so, uninstall the drivers, put USB debugging on, try to connect to the computer and let it find the drivers all over again. There should be 5 drivers it loads.

mass storage doesn't work either.

[Q] odin problem

I'm trying to flash a new modem with odin v.1.85. I have all the drivers installed, have restarted computer, pulled battery, new usb cord, and odin won't read my phone. It will read it while my phone is turned on, just not in download mode for some reason. I'm not quite sure what i am doing wrong, I've used odin before but it's been awhile. Any guesses as to what is goin on would be appreciated. After multiple searches I haven't found any answers.

Did you try all the usb ports on the computer? Try it with the battery in and see what happens. Its definitely your computer.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Thanks. tried all but one usb port. i'll give it another go. tried it with battery in and out
*edit* tried all. nothin works. i do have a gadget serial error under the device manager it looks like. any ideas?

can i use mobile odin for this and skip the computer part all together?

Mobile odin doesn't work on our phone yet... so no... give me a second.. what drivers did you install? I'm going to link you the ones I always use... they've always worked. Also if you have any other phone drivers unistall them and install the ones I link. Once you've unistall the others restart the pc and install the new ones.

[Q] Odin Froze...

Just want to get straight to the point;
Brother did a bad flash, Phone doesnt come on at all. But odin still recognizes the phone. Tried flashing stock from xda. gets stuck on setup.
Again, if pc doesnt recognize my brothers phone you would think its dead, but odin does recognize the phone. Also tried using usb jig, nothing, tried recovery, download modes nothing... Any help is much appreciated.

Try different USB ports..or maybe check the download of the file your trying to flash or redownload

My first step would be to re-download a stock rom and try to flash it multiple times (which i'm sure you already have done). I know when I had a bad flash back to stock and got a completely black screen, it took me quite a few flash attempts to get it to flash correctly.

ok will do.

Might also try a different usb cable if you have one, I know one of my cables went bad and had issues connecting to my pc.

I had a similar issue and I managed to recover it by flashing just the stock UVLH1 kernel.
There was also a PIT file packed with Odin which I removed before flashing the Kernel.

I know this is a basic question but did you run Odin as administrator?

Yes^

I'm sure they were running Odin as administrator, but I had to ask to cancel that out.

Rooting GS3

So I know how to root the device, I'm just having a few problems. First, my laptop isnt recognizing my phone in download mode. Is there a driver I need to install for the phone? Second, odin isnt opening on my laptop either. It has worked many many times before but right now when I open it, it shows this box that says "odin (little boxes next to it)" and an "okay" button. Once I click the "okay" button" It quickly opens and closes odin not allowing me to do anything.
Can someone help me out a little?

Try drivers and Odin from my signature.

It said i had those drivers installed already, but I did them again anyway. And those are the 2 versions of odin I've always used, but I'm going to download yours and try them also. Thanks, and I'll let you know if they work.
Odin is acting the same way as mine did. I'm pretty sure somethings up with my laptop. I'll try restarting it or playing with its settings to see whats going on.

He you tried all the usb ports? I know it sounds stupid but my phone is only recognized on 1 out of 3 usb ports on my desktop.
My ipod and other things work on all usb ports but my phone only gets recognized on one.

I got it to work and booted into cwm but then couldnt find a way to flash a .zip from my sd card. It only allows me to search my internal memory? Am I missing something here?

The option to switch between int and ect should be there. What version if cwm?

I lost it. I have to reflash it again.
what is the latest version tho?
its 5.5.0.4. Ill flash a new rom and it should get updated so i should be fine. thanks anyway.

TRY THIS...
Try to uninstall to the drivers and reinstall them, then get the latest ODIN for the s3. And try to root. If that doesnt work. Use a different computer like your friends. .

Alright thanks I got it now. I'm not a nube, just need to get used to how everything works around here coming from the epic 4g.
I got the latest recovery from rom manager. is there an option to usb mount sd card from recovery?
I noticed your ROMs are huge. I downloaded universeS4 and its almost 1GB? thats crazy the biggest rom ive ever used was 185mb. Anyway, any other Roms you guys recommend i try? I'm looking for TW at the moment so no Cyanogen roms. And what kind of tweaks and mods are there to look for in a ROM? i need something similar to voodoo sound.

There is a thread stickied in the themes and app section that has a whole lot of mods. It should be the fist post in their

Thanks, I seen it. There is so many things.
I'm mostly interested in sound volume hacks and mods. I flashed univers4 ROM and it comes with the ACID thing for sound but I dont really know whats it doing. I'm used to having voodoo sound which is enabled from the kernel. Is there any mods that actually allow you to override the system settings for at least headphone volume? I want my phone as loud as can be lol.

thanks
kreez (im new sry if its less information)

How are you even turning it on to get to a boot loop if the button is broken?

I plug the USB cable and pull the battery out, put it back in and unplug the USB...
So i need to replace my power button so i can boot to recovery/download mode?

If it's stuck in a boot loop, yes. I can't think of any other way I'm afraid.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

If you want download mode, you could try a USB jig.

I thought about that, but didn't suggest because he will almost certainly still have boot problems until he can boot recovery and factory reset.
Worth a try if a jig is handy, but if you have to order or make one it'll probably just add more time to getting it fixed.

Edit: I flashed the StockROM back to my S3 and for any reason it is in Stock recovery mode. How do i get out of there w/o my power button? My computer don't recognize my phone so ADB won't work :3 (

Battery pull I guess is probably the only way. If you're running completely stock, you'll probably need to flash an insecure kernel for ADB to work in recovery.
This may be of use to you though....If you use the KT747 4.4.2 kernel, when you plug it in it will turn on the device if it's already off. You have to be on a stock based 4.4.2 rom to use it though.
I know it doesn't address your current issue, but thought I'd mention it in case something like that was useful for now.

But how i can flash a Kernel if im stuck, in Stock Recovery i cant access the menus with the home button or touch, just with the power button.. and the phone isn't on device manager and Odin don't recognize it too..
If i pull the battery and wait(did it like 2h) and install it back, it reboots in recovery though

You can't flash anything from stock recovery. You'd need to install TWRP. Are you rooted?
How did you flash the stock rom?
You really need to get odin working though. Uninstall kies. Try different USB drivers, different cables, ports....
