[Q] Huge Odin Dilema

I was using the pre rooted EL29 odin package and all of a sudden my phone randomly disconnected while going through the file recovery. It boots up to download mode but now my PC wont recognize it. It says "USB Not Recognized" and i've tried 4 cables and 2 computers. Any help?

Try a fresh install of Kies on your PC. If that doesn't work are you able to boot up into Recovery?

No it says that there was a firmware update error and to recconect to the computer with kies. I've had that error many times before and id just go into download mode and flash a stock tar in but this time Odin will not recognize it. Says not recognized

God damnit. Installed latest drivers from Kies and still not recognizeable. It boots into download mode so that means it's not bricked and should be hope for me. ugh

Honestly, that may be a brick. Pulling the cable while running Odin almost always ends up with that result.

This may sound weird, but try this.
Reboot your PC and load up Odin. Shut down your phone and pull the battery. While holding down the download mode buttons, put the battery back in. Then connect your cable once you boot into download mode.

Didn't pull a cable just disconnected on its own...didnt touch the computer. this has happened to me many times before but it always detected in download mode

Now it says installing drivers, but then failed....

Sorry to hear. If that has happened before, probably something wasn't right before. I've never had a spontaneous disconnect while using Odin and I flash a lot when testing the various releases.
If you can't get back into Odin D/L and have the phone be recognized, you might want to look at jtag repair from mobiletechvideos or having sprint expedite the warranty repair for you.

I understand, that is why I gave you suggestions if you could *not* get back in (I'm assuming you are going to try other things)

this has happen to be before, i had a faulty usb cable, so i switched and it worked. Have you tried using a different usb cable?

How about battery pull hold vol up and pwr for recovery mode while re-installing battery? then nan restore a backup . You did backup right?

This happened to me a couple days ago but I could get into recovery which fixed it. Make sure you have Odin open on both your computer and phone and THEN connect your phone to your computer. Also, reinstall Kies, all of your drivers, etc. on your computer. The weird part about what happened to my phone is that the phone would be detected while in recovery but not in Download mode.

Have you rebooted your computer? Reinstall driver? Perhaps try another USB port...

tried all of those.

Are you using Kies for the drivers? I thought Kies interfered somehow and it was recommended to just install the full driver setup standalone.
Also, have you tried a different pc yet?

Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.

havent tried a diff pc yet, however i can get into recovery but it wont format anything nor can i do a factory reset, it just sits there until i pull the battery "formating system/data/etc"
just tried new pc. it showed up on it but when i odin anything it hangs on "data.img". bricked?

Possibly. Have you tried to odin the one-click-root back to stock rooted yet?
First thing I would do personally. Also, swap cables again and try a different usb port. I would plug into the rear usb if possible too. Front usb ports are prone to interference since they're wired via a cable from the motherboard. And do not use a usb extension cable (found this out the hard way too). Good luck.

Agreed with previous poster - you may be bricked, seems oddly familiar to this issue:
Stuck at "Data.img" thru Odin
As sfhub has mentioned you can and should try the Odin OC again to confirm. But if it says the same it's fairly certain that the eMMC is damaged and the phone is bricked.
If you try again and it has the same results you may want to post more details on that thread. It's been a good attempt to try and document each person's case and try to find what is causing this to happen. The more info the better to troubleshoot, such as what you tried to flash and how you were flashing (were you going back to GB + CWM to flash ICS, for example)

PC won't recognise GT-N7100 when connected.

I have read lots of threads in this forum but no solutions seem to fix my problem.
I have the GT-N7100. Unlocked, not rooted & standard factory ROM.
When I connect it to my PC (Win7-64) via USB, it is not recognised at all. It charges, but the PC won`t recognise it.
I have installed and uninstalled Kies twice.
I have installed and uninstalled the device drivers twice.
I have tried different USB cables, different USB ports and different PCs - same issue every time.
Please help!

try enabling/disabling usb debugging or developer options altogether if it is still not fixed then
try reflashing stock rom. maybe some modification you did and don't remember.

That's what I'm thinking too. I might have to do a factory reset rather than re-flash though - it's a viscious circle - the PC won't recognise the device so I can re-flash ROM
I was trying to avoid this course of action though :crying:
Does anyone else have other suggestions before I do this?
(BTW, I did try enabling/disabling debugging already)

OK, so I eventually got too frustrated and did a full factory reset ... my PC (or KIES) still won't see the Note 2?
Anyone....????

Could be solved by changing UART mode to USB mode through code *#7284#. UART ... choose MODEM and USB choose PDA. I have found this in on xda thread. But you will probably need to do it every boot myte help tempry :fingers-crossed:

I should probably be a bit more specific about this question... I would love to get a new kernel (and ROM, and even just root the device) but I no PC will recognise that the GN2 is connected - so Odin or anything won't run.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for this suggestion but it didn't seem to work either - UART was MODEM and USB was PDA already but I toggled them etc to try to force reset.

Hi Mate,
This seems to me to be a driver issue. Check device manager, you might have a yellow bang there, uninstall and reinstall the driver from there.
Do get back if you need further instructions.
Cheers, Sumit

ya m8 ,y the kernel change,u said its stock so it mus b recognizd by ur pc..even wen u uninstall kies ,its better to restart an install it again..i facd this with my s2 an i removd kies fully an installd it the the main issue is the usb drivers u got to see the usb ports too were u connect cause i face prblm wen using the same port for s1,s2,gs note2 ...i use it in diff ports specially for flashing ,odin stuff...

Still no joy
Hi
I have still had not luck with device drivers, etc.
I have obtained Mobile Odin Pro, by I would like to clarify, the app clearly states that the device must be rooted to run. My device is not rooted - how can I root it? ( I have tried ExynosAbuse but it doesn't work). or can I do this with Mobile Odin?
Thanks for your help.

Theres a software called mobilego. Try installing it cand connect your phone. If it identifies your phone u can atleast take a back up. I had the same problem with a S2 i was using couple of months back. Never got it connected thru kies.

Omg I just told the whole procedure. Please specify what you want understand.

I am missing something here?
If one don't have root and unable to connect to PC how mobile odin will work?
It needs root, and somewhere I read exynose abuse not worked. So there is no chance.
@OP
Try cleaning usb socket in device. Remove battery and clean usb socket very carefully, i have seen few cases where charging can be oossible but still unable to get connect to PC due to faulty socket. Otherwise go to service centre and ask them to check for same.

PC Not Recognizing Note 2 via USB

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the samsung drivers at least 4 times, rebooted phone and pc multiple times, tried 3 different PCs and still nothing.
Nothing(other than charging) pops up on the PC's or the phone when I plug it in. I have tried checking USB debugging several times.
Any ideas?

This just started happening to me today as well haha
Can't figure out why either

Did you get the current drivers from Samsung's site?
How about flashing any recent changes on the phones?
Does it indicate anything on the phone?
Any info - no matter how trivial it may seem - would help. Thanks!

I just got it to work by using the OEM usb cable that came with the NOTE 2.
Previously, I had tried 2 different htc cables, an LG cable and a random generic one. Really odd that it was the cable.

It was this way with the E4GT as well. Explanation I was given at the time was that the pin connections are longer on Samsung than most. That's why most cables except Samsung and BB cables fail on data but fine on power.

I've used the same cable the entire time. It's still not recognizing it.

Right click the usb icon in the task bar and find your phone in the devices. Then trouble shoot it. I have to do this just about every single time I want to connect and transfer something.

hey guys am new here so sorry for my first post being a problem
ok so im kinda new to the android scene after many years of apple products i can safely say i wont be returning lol very impressed and gutted i didnt switch to android a long time ago...
anyway the problem i have is that after doing a lot of reading and browsing this forum i installed a few different kernels and then started with roms, and now discovered neither Bluetooth or usb works Ive tried many different things including restoring back to stock rom and kernel rebooting several times both PC and phone, ive tried a few other things that seemed to fix for others i installed the drivers at least 9 times now and kies over and over, also tried the galaxy note tool kit but it just wont see the phone it just charges it ive also tried a different cable and the same problem is there... the only option ive not tried is to completely remove root and start again, but the problem i have is that if that doesn't fix it is that i wont be able to root again through odin,
Ive enabled usb debugging etc also nothing im really lost with this now as want to transfer files that's when i realized Bluetooth wont switch on either
i upgraded to 4.1.2 with the omega rom also and still the same now am back to 4.1.1 through a saved restore
so pls any advice or pointers would be amazing

Error is on the phone or PC? And what cable are you using? It should be the stock white cable - even the S2 cable doesn't work for me.

This is correct. I rooted a Note II last night using the white cable. The easiest way is to enable us debugging on the phone and issue the command from your:
adb reboot download
Once it is in download mode you can push your md5 with Odin

Indeed. I did try using a Nexus 7 usb cable and wouldn't recognize my phone but only to charge it not as a usb device. I then plugged another cable that it came with a spare S3 that I have and that worked for me.

i think it shoud be *#7284#

usb/mtp/ptp
I have CM12.1 on SPH-L900, when I go to settings>storage and click USB computer connection, it says USB is disconnected, I don't get the MTP/PTP menu.
I've tried in debug mode, I've tried *#7284#, and many others but none bring up a phone util screen. any help would be, helpful. :laugh:
I used CWM to install.
edit: so I grabbed every cable I had and one worked, happened to be for a kodiak camera.

Phone won't boot

My phone stopped booting one morning. In custom recovery it says /data won't mount. I sent it to samsung and they refused to repair it because it was rooted. It was running on stock rom plus root.
Should I sell it for parts? Or is it fixable?

I have tried it. Different phones work on my computer. The S3 doesn't get recognized in any computer.
Unfortunately. Even installing different roms doesn't allow the phone to boot.

I wouldn't give up.just yet. If you can, try on a different computer, even just to see if it sees it. Others have solved similar issues with some of the following:
Trying with several cables, preferably not ones that came with a 3rd party charger, or are just cheap cables.
Unplug ALL usb peripherals that you can, then try all ports on computer.
Uninstall kies, uninstall drivers, install different version of drivers, plug in and if seen in device manager, right click and update driver, manually choose location and browse to program files where they installed.
Install universal adb drivers (links in Sig btw), and try again.
Try when booted in recovery and download mode.
You said before the port was messed up. How is it messed up? You can charge it right?

Yes, I can charge it. But even then not all cables charge it. And not at full speed sometimes.

Cables go bad easily, and all the time. They are much more delicate than people want to believe. Some cables are not wired to be able to transfer data. Often there's just two wires inside because it's a charging cable nothing more. Also, depending on that will determine if it takes a charge at full speed, or if it thinks it's connected to a computer or car charger, it'll only charge at about half speed.
If you can copy files to/from the computer over a cable, then that cable should work.
Did you try any of the things I mentioned?
