So I have done something to my epic, I don't know if it would count as bricked soft bricked or whatever but when I turn it on it bootloops on samsung logo but I can still enter download mode, So I figured I would flash a stock rom with odin and start over.
I went to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
downloaded necessary drivers
installed and tried to connect to odin
I've tried every combination of powering the phone with the computer, then putting in download mode
I've tried powering on with battery booting into download mode opening odin selecting pit and tar and then pluging it in and nothing.
when the pc does recognize the phone it says device not recognized or device malfunctioned.
I saw a post somewhere with someone saying I needed to "advanced install" the drivers. So whatever that means I tried to uninstall the device from device manager while plugged in in download mode and updating the driver to the 64bit samsung usb driver and it says "unknown device already has best driver installed"
the computer I'm using is an HP DM1-4010us not that I think it would matter.
If anyone has anymore suggestions, or can suggest a method or pattern of step by step what I need to do
maybe install the drivers in a different compatibility mode?
what about odin compatibility?
System UAC is turned off and firewall is off too just in case it may be blocking odin from communicating with comm ports so I know that can't be the issue.
Thanks for listening to my overly detailed and confused ramblings and thanks in advance for any advice or help offered.

Try a different USB port and cable the stock cable sucks azz try a blackberry cable.
Have you tried a different usb port?
I have always used the cable that came with my epic, are you using it?
I'd at least open odin, put your phone into download mode and then connect it to the PC and see if with the stock cable it is recognized. That will tell you perhaps the cable you're using isn't connecting right for odin's use.
do you have any other cell phone drivers on your PC? I've seen where they conflict. Remove all cells phone drivers, reboot, install the epic drivers for win7 64bit
EDIT: damn i type slow. someone got itn there already

Heimdall fails to install drivers or detect the device, does this with AND without the samsung 64bit drivers installed.
Try downloading kies air to get drivers.

Make sure you downloaded the drivers named "Samsung_Mobile_Drivers_V1.3.8.." if not then that's the problem, if you need it I can email you the the file. Try all the usb cables in your house and all the computers as well, and take out sd card, I've also had this odin problem and I'm also sure it's your drivers since there are like 10 samsung drivers floating around lol.
Edit: nvm I downloaded the drivers from the thread you linked and they are correct.. try different cables, no battery no sd card, and different computers

Try to first open the phone in download mode and then connect the usb driver. Try downloading odin from another site. And pls post in FAQ.

3. After complted charging, go to download mode (Powr + home + down arrow)
4. Open KIES then connect your mobile in download mode, now it will detected automatically.

2.Uninstall Kies and the USB Driver named "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" on Add and remove programs on Control panel , Then after you install Kies again then do the directions on Step 1 installing your USB Driver.
3.Try Redownloading Odin v 1.85 , Click on my attachment to download.
4.Make sure your Kies is up to date.
5.Make sure that your battery is 100 % fully charged
6.Remove your SIM Card before flashing , That could interrupt the flashing process.
7.Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and go to Processes and terminate the process named "KiesHelper.exe" and "KiesTrayAgent.exe" and if you're using ADB then terminate the process named "adb.exe" ( Im not sure if adb.exe is the correct name of ADB process,Correct me if im wrong)
8.Make sure before you press the "Start" button on Odin you should Notice these two thing before pressing the Start button : ID:COM and make sure you have got the "Added!!!" word on the box (Where you can see if flashing has successful ex. Success 1/0 Failed
so, last night i decided i wanted to go back to stock
open odin and alls well,
i flash, then it says fail
reboot and everything is fine, but now, its altered something cause when i connect it to any computer, it tells me it doesnt recognize the device.

Try this:
I was having a similar issue and uninstalling and then reinstalling all the drivers, software, etc. didn't work for me. But this did;
http://blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post/2...Samsung-phones
Resolution
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.

i had to have damaged something on the phone
cause this all started right after the fail in odin
Completely new to android. Regular mode, pc recognizes easily. Download mode, not at all. No unknown device. If on the Note I pick "upgrade from adb" then the pc devise manager shows a samsung device adb device. So, it sees it. but still Odin does not see it. Tried USB debug mode on/off on the tablet. Restarted PC and tablet several times. Using original usb cable, tried various usb ports. Am I missing something obvious? I feel that I am.
I would install kies from samsung. Completely reinstall drivers from with in kies and go from there. You could actually push the recent update from kies to your tab and that will do it in odin mode. Give it a try…

Using Windows 7,
Uninstalled Kies 3, reinstalled, updated, uninstalled/reinstalled all drivers. Tried usb debugging on/off (which changed the drivers) Odin perfectly detects the tablet in regular mode. In recovery/download mode I still don't even get an unknown device. It sees the Samsung Adb device, but neither kies (though maybe it shouldn't) nor odin "see" the device. Tried various usb ports, multiple computers. I am on most recent firmware for the P600
Working with tablets (first ipad 2, now the new note) make me feel like I know nothing about computers.

Recovery and download mode are two completely different things. If you are in recovery then Odin will not see the tablet. You have be in download mode. Power the device off and restart it by holding down the power button and volume down at the same time. If you hold power and volume up you will go into recovery which does you no good for Odin.

Thank you, that is exactly what my problem was, as I said, I knew I was being an idiot, thank you. *slaps forehead* I had asked "that guy" at work and had been told recovery mode and download mode meant the same thing, so I didn't google it.

Samsung is the only manufacturer I have used that does download mode. Most others have bootloader mode that works with adb. Though using Odin is easier for beginners than adb.

For me, I had to use the old Kies, not Kies3. I didn't even get a device showing up in device manager when USB Debugging was enabled, though if i switched USB mode from MTP to Camera, I would get a device Samsung_Android that looked like it wanted ADB drivers, but manually pointing it to the drivers included with Kies3 didn't work.

I have a sm-p600 that has been rooted and had a custom rom on it. I went to change the resolution and it rebooted and then i got a bootloop and now i am unable to get into my custom recovery and i cannot connect through adb or in download mode with no unknown device message as well. any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.
Make sure Kies isn't running in the background, it screws with ODIN....
After install cwm 6, probably i got the wrong file or corrupt file then my phone cant boot to cwm mode, then i tried to flash with odin, it can boot to download mode but problem is PC through ODIN cant detect my phone, when i plug PC showed unknown device, i did install driver properly and its ok when i test it with other same galaxy W..
Now my phone cant start up, cant enter cwm, it can enter download mode but PC can detect the port..
need help guys thanks..
NOTE : PC can detect my phone when my phone is turn on but it just not work in download mode
If Im right understand, you plug phone to pc and open your device. Did you try opposite combination? I mean, first open your phone with download mode, then plug your device to pc. Maybe it works.
