I know this occurs to several users and to others phones such as SG2,III,Ace and many more. But so far, i still can't figure out how to solve it.
Installed Kies, Installed SGN2 kit 3.0.
When the phone is On, i can transfer any files through Kies, or just drag and drop. Even Odin detect my phone "port 3" in blue.
On the phone, i tickled USB debugging and hold down volume, menu+power to go in Flash mode. and from there i'm stuck. my computer can't detect the phone anymore.
Any help? please!

Odin. Odin can't detect my phone when in FLASH mode(volume down+menu+power).
It's volume down+power+home. Just wanted to make sure you were in fact in download mode.

Are you using the USB cable your device came with? Tried a different USB port? Maybe even try a different computer if you have access to one

Its because he has toolkit and kies intalled at same time...it says in toolkit thread to have onr or other....the drivers dont mix
I had the same problem. Heres the solution. Uninstall Keis then reinstall. Then plug in your phone until all the drivers are installed. Make sure you use that same usb on your computer if you have more then one. Then try again by opening Odin first, then put phone in download mode and plug in the phone into the same usb as you did when installing the drivers. For some reason odin only works with the usb you plug your phone into, when you installed the drivers.

Hi guys, my dad got a problem with his rooted HTC One X. His phone crashed after flashing. After the crash he formatted the phone except for the SD card. Now none of our computers recognize the phone anymore so he isn't able to put firmware on it. He has tried to mount/unmount the SD card via device manager, but the computer sees it as an unknown device. My dad tried to install the drivers but that didn't work. After that he tried to install ADB drivers but that also didn't work. Anyone here who can help him?
Yup, dozens of ppl here can help him.
What did he flash?
What firmware are you talking about?
ROM? Firmware.zip?
What do you mean by "didn't work"? Did he actually install the drivers or did it fail?

Hmm, I actually don't know what he flashed; I'll ask him when he gets home! I was talking about ROM. He actually installed the drivers but the computer still didn't recognize the phone

Hello,
I have the same problem with my HOX, after rooting I can't connect to my pc , so I cant flash anything.

My friend is also having this same issue.
The phone is not turning on.
HTC Sync Manager, ADB, non of them recognize the device.
Holding Vol down + Power button didn't do anything.
It's like the device is completely dead. But when connected to the PC, device manager shows it as an unknown device.
Any ideas/ solutions?
Make sure you dont use a USB3.0 connection. We had a hard time getting adb to work last night. My suggestion is to deinstall the htc drivers, uninstall the unknown device. Reinstall the htc drivers and reboot the pc then hook the phone to the pc and let it install. If it still comes up with unknown device you click it and select to install your own your own drivers and then select to choose from the list......you should see ANDROID PHONE in the list, click it and there should be an option called MY HTC install it and reboot the phone and the pc ....this way we got it working last night.

Well the problem that QQ had is solved. We got the drivers in order late lastnight after a lot of de-installing and re-installing of java and HTC drivers .....finally it worked, but then the battery ran out so i wrote him a full and easy to use tutorial and put the files he needed where they had to be .....
:and he did a great job following the steps and got him back a full working phone :thumbup:

Hello everyone...
I was updating the phone recently, and went to reboot it (cyanogen mod ROM btw) and now I have no idea what it did but it is now stuck on the Samsung logo, and their is no recovery I can use on it. Only DL mode works.
I tried to use Odin to relfash but the problem is on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers, they install the drivers, but they still fail to recognize the phone when I plug it in!
I have tried different USB ports, a full driver uninstall, multiple USB cords and the computer refuses to recognize the phone saying "USB Device not recognized"
Again, the drivers install fine, and I did a reboot after each install and uninstall. No luck.
I didnt even install drivers on my W8 netbook and I was able to flash back TWRP using Odin and Download mode yesterday when my attempt at flashing TWRP 2.6.0.4 originally failed.
Fire up download mode, then open up Odin (you should see a COM port open), load up what you need to install, then flash.
What are you trying to flash using ODIN? A bootloader or a ROM?
"BootLooping GhostBrick"
Holy crap! you too? I'm experiencing the same thing too bro. its my girlfriend's phone tho. she's borrowing my Nexus 4 while I work on fixing her SGS2...I seem to have contracted a serious case of the BootLooping GhostBrick, just like you did, right after updating. I went through the same steps troubleshooting as you did, and ...its a guess, but I'm starting to figure the solution will probably include: 1. using ADB to push sum files to the phone, or otherwise somehow reflashing stock firmware from the PC.
2. Re-Root the dam thing and flash a kernel with a recovery (like CWM or TWRP) using rom manager...and 3. Considering installing a ROM of my choice Like PACMAN, or Cyanogenmod.....hmm...Yum
anyway, the search for the vaccine to this dreadful affliction begins. Please post if you find something, I will too.

Re-installing Odin and drivers still didn't get Odin to recognize the device in download mode. Windows 7 isn't assigning it any COM port, and nothing can be flashed unless Odin sees the com port the device is on. I used Goo Manager to flash TWRP 2.6.0.3 over my previous 2.6.0.0 version and now I'm stuck on samsung logo, can't reboot to recovery and PC won't recognize device in download mode. Anyone know a solution?

Welcome to ur first soft brick, and as I said in ur other post u need to disable or removes Samsung kies before trying to use Odin as long as any part of kies is running even in background Odin won't see the device, also make sure u use factory/data approved USB wires, also try diff ports, sometimes Odin won't see com3 but will see com5, be patient and follow this and ull be fine, also twrp2.6.0.3 has been known to cause sftbricks, DL 2.6.0.4 from techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules its the newest and 4.3 compatible

It's not a matter of trying different com ports, I can't get the PC or Odin to recognize the phone in download mode despite uninstalling kies, installing the latest drivers twice, 3 different OEM cables, multiple usb ports, nothing. when I plug it in, Windows doesn't make any sound like with other usb devices, nor does it try and search for drivers. Are there any other options short of JTAG repair?

I was going to reply earlier, but I got side tracked and this guy is literally having the exact same problem as me. I tried multiple OEM cables, and ports and Windows recognized it but it still won't let me USE it. Odin (after re-install) still shows no connections or ports.
Also, yeah this phone isn't mine either, my Dads. He is using my old S3 for now and is quite mad with me hahaha.
So yeah, I have to re-cap...
-Updated through Goomanager.... (the culprit I am guessing)
-Rebooted
-Got stuck on the Galaxy S 2 screen
-Plugged in with 4 USB cables to three different USB ports
-Uninstalled and reinstalled Odin numerous times, each with a reboot between.
-Odin fails to recognize it
-Windows KNOWS IT IS THERE, and makes a sound when plugged in, however it says "USB Device not recognized"
Any more ideas?
Thanks for the help to guys it is very much appreciated. I will donate to the person that can help me out of this

I am experiencing the same problem. Did anyone find the solution?
Probably a faulty USB port. My computer shows that message all the time, only one of them works correctly. If not, you just need to install the correct USB Drivers, because even if you don't have them it should recognize your phone as a Samsung phone but will say that the drivers did not install correctly.
I have a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy s4 and this is my first root I've ever attempted.
Been trying to root my device for the past 5 days using various methods which include towelroot, odin 3.7, odin 3.10 and other methods. I even watched the video how to root it from xda. But I am just not having any luck. I have everything updated on the device thats updated from kit kat 4.4.4 and everything is stock.
Odin is just not connecting to my device while in download mode and I have also updated the usb driver as well from the samsung website. and when i plug my phone into my computer while the device is on it recognizes the device on my computer. So I really do not know what to do now.
Any advice or suggestions that I should part take on?

Download Kies and let it install the drivers. Once done you can remove Kies.
I use Odin 3.07. If Odin sees your phone use CF-AUTO ROOT to root your phone.
i did just that and retried and did nothing towards connecting during download mode
Are you opening Odin after you plug the device in? If so does it say a message, something about 'added!'

Try different usb ports, down to the last one.. If the problem persists it might be the drivers.. In this case, uninstall kies and install drivers from Samsung

I have no clue what I am doing wrong.
Do you have kies installed? If so uninstall it, reboot, and try again

I had a similar problem once, chased it for hours to find a usb problem. Best test for that is connect the phone via Kies (usb, not wireless) and try to transfer files. If you can't get a file from your phone to the computer you have a hardware problem: usb port, cable, computer, or in the phone itself.
My i747m 's usb port was damaged (not charging). So I soldered a new one. The phone gets detected in download mode, I can flash anything but does not get detected in Windows anymore (it charges however). It doesn't make a sound when connected and nothing shows up in device manager/ usb DevView . I uninstalled drivers, re installed., nothing works. I don't understand what the issue could be since it gets detected in "Download" Mode.
Do you have USB debugging on?

Yes I do have it on. Off/On dont make the pc detect the phone. I have android 4.4.2 but I can't access the IOTHiddenMenu. I tried setting hidden menu to ON in efs/carrier/ but I still cant access it.
My buddy is having a problem with his. He can't get it to boot. Only the kies message pops up telling him to boot into recovery with kies. I'm assuming he tried to update and he unplugged the phone during the flashing process. Now he can't get Odin to recognize the phone. He did a fresh Odin/drivers install but still nothing. The PC says the device is corrupted or didn't install correctly. I never had that problem before. He is able to get in download mode but can't get it to connect.

One thing that could be your problem is if your device manager is not letting windows automatically update drivers. It should be under device manager somewhere.

But the pc detects the phone in downloading. I was able to flash a rom. It's just in windows. I believe samsung removed the IOTHiddenmanu in 4.3+ so I cant access usb settings.
Have you tried flashing back to a completely stock ROM? Not sure if that would make difference.
