Hey guys,
I'm trying to root my SM-T210. But Odin doesn't recognize.
It keeps saying added, then removed, added, removed etc...
Just keeps going like this.
Why does it do like this?
Thanks!

Probably your usb port is not working. In developing option, turns on USB debugging, then connect it to your computer.
If your computer cannot see it, the USB port is damaged and need to replace. USB port is cheap but it's soldered to main board , you may need a help from a repair shop to change the micro USB port.

Thanks for the tip, but nothing wrong with the port. I can use it for everything else.
I solved this by using another computer.

I've tried everything I can possibly think of. I have an Asus Laptop with Windows 7 64 bit and absolutely cannot get my Epic to be recognized. I've uninstalled and re-installed the driver more times than I care to mention. I've tried mounting the device to no avail either. I've tried plugging in the phone into each of the USB ports on the laptop to no avail. I need to get the computer to recognize the device so I can get odin to recognize the phone so I can flash back to stock. Right now it doesn't do so. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to get this up an running?
Try installing the 32-bit drivers even if you're on a 64-bit computer....
The same issue comes up. It says that the drivers are not successfully installed (even though the installer goes through) and it says "Unknown Device" over and over.
Are you removing previous drivers?
then rebooting before installing new drivers...
also are you using stock cable?
if so buy a new cable you can get cheap ones online for like a dollar just search micro usb cables
Yes, yes, yes. Does the cable really make that much of a difference? I saw that people have had issues but I mean it charges properly all the time so I figured it was ok to use.
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
That cable is worthless get a Blackberry cable they are very durable and dependable.
i was having problems also..... all because of the cable.
I'll probably go buy a cable from Walmart, order a cheaper one online from Monoprice and return the other just so I can odin my phone...I really hope that's the issue though.

does it keep looping "unknown device" in the corner, almost like you unplugging and plugging back in repeatedly?
ifso try cleaning the contacts of the usb port on phone and on the small end of the cable.
if not then try totally uninstalling the drivers you installed and if possible when its saying "unknown device" open the device manager, r-click then unistall in there.
USBDview has always been able to dig me out of the home when ive had usb related driver issues... just run it and delete/uninstall anything samsung/android/adb etc related, reboot pc and phone then try again...maybe even redownload the drivers
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
http://firon.net/xda/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
update (you replied as i was typing): one bandaid for the cable you could try for now is to take a needlenose pliers or something and slightly squish the micro end to try getting a tighter fit.... i had to do that to the cable i keep at work.
You can always just download kies. That's what I did. When I was trying the standalone drivers I had trouble. Installed kies on both of my laptops and coding works beautifully everytime. And I seriously think you guys are ill. Its a cable... its digital. It either works or.it doesn't. I use my samsung wire exclusively. Its thin and I like contour on the plug. Both cables have worked flawlessly on both of my epics.

You are wrong.
Cables can have breaks in them which give them intermittent connectivity. Also, since this cable has several (5 I think?) single strands of wire in them, a single wire could be screwed up causing this (or the pin for a single wire on either end) That would still allow it to charge, and partially be recognized by Windows, but not allow it to fully communicate causing this problem.
I have a cable that I only use for charging because it has this EXACT problem. Another cable works perfect, but this particular cable gives me the unknown device.

Right.. so it either works or it doesn't lol if both cables are in perfect working condition then there would be no issue. Its all preference. I personally use a blackberry micro usb cable. It locks in to the usb port on the phone better. Just so im not paranoid about the wire coming off while flashing... cuz thats bad lol

I didn't articulate myself clearly, but that is my fault.
If a single wire inside the cable is broken (for the sake of simplicity let's just say it is the RECEIVE cable - from the device to the PC). The PC can recognize that there is a device there, but because the device can't talk to the PC, Windows can tell there is something there, but has no idea what it is since the device can't talk back to the PC. Also, in this scenario the cable would charge just fine since those individual lines are intact.

To quote u "Yes yes yes" it does make ALL THE DIFFERENCE... I had the same problem and made serveral posts about it when the phone 1st came out, I tried everything... Uninstalled/Reinstalled/Rebooted many times, Manually deleted the folders where the drivers are held then Re-installed, Installed Kies (which is a P.O.S. and was a BIG WASTE OF TIME imo.) I tried everything and just about gave up until 1 day i looked @ my roomate and asked him 2 let me borrow his cable to his cheap cricket phone 2 see if it would make a difference.
Well it worked... Get a new cable, if you've done what ive done and it still doesnt work, its the cable and not the drivers
I've done just about all I freaking can on this as well.
I've installed, un-installed, and re-installed the drivers. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on Bootcamp.
I've used USBDView, I've uninstalled all of the connected drivers. They get re-installed, but the phone keeps keeps coming up as an Unknown Device. I try and locate the Samsung USB drivers directory, but it keeps coming up as Unknown.
Does anyone know specifically what directory I should use choose when trying to manually link the driver in Device Manager? I'm having a ***** of a time here.
Anybody have any ideas for me? Thanks.
I had the same problem. Buy a new cable from monoprice. The second I bought a new cable for my 64 bit Asus laptop it worked.
Trust me, buy a new cable.

I had the same problem. I didn't follow directions to solve my problem in Odin. I had to start Odin and plug my phone in and quickly put the phone into download mode. I did that a few times and finally got it to recognize. With Syndicate, it now recognizes every time. I say that now. LOL
This is how I fixed this problem. After doing all I could think of, uninstall, install, system restore, nandroid restor to when phone was being recognized... all these didn't work for me. I still got the same unknown device in device manager.
The fix: with samsung epic drivers already installed. Turn the phone on, plug into your computer. Let device manager find unknown device. Power off the phone. Boot into recovery. Pc will recognize your phone as samsung android device. Reboot your phone and you should be good to go. Hope this works for the rest of you. Good luck.

Isn't the original issue that the driver install fails? not that the device isnt being readed?
Hi, im new to this site...plz dont scold me lol...im excited that the evo gingerbread is able to be rooted but im having a problem with my computer rec my phone..i have tried..2 computers...3 cords..1 of them brand new....3 htc drivers from 3 different sites....and still having no dice...i would take any suggestions that you guys have...thank you!
Here are the possibilities with this (I am sure you have read):
1) USB port broken/damaged - Take to sprint exchange thru warranty or look on-line for repair
2) Drivers missing - HTC Sync tends to be the on stop d/l file to install the drivers even for Win7.
3) Cords faulty - You have even tried a new one...eliminate this one.
4) Do you have USB Debugging selected in settings of your Evo? - There are mixed feelings on this as to whether or not this needs to be checked in order to connect. IMO it should be checked.
5) USB port bad on PC. Try different PC, if same result issue is with drivers or bad port.
With this all mentioned, does your notification on either your PC or Evo show up when connected to the PC?
thank you so much; as it turns out the USB port was damaged & they ordered me a new phone

Hi All!
A while back I had some usb issues (kept going into car mode, grrr) - so I managed to fix it by hacking a little bit of the USB port away. I went back to stock rom just before I did this also, so now cannot connect via USB to root.
Anyone know a way of doing this without adb via USB?
Hmm... Without using `adb` this might be difficult. ICS builds now have a cool feature that allows you to connect to your phone over your local network using `adb`.
Why can't you use `adb`? Are you not very good with Linux shell environments or does your setup restrict you in some way? I guess a bit more information about your current setup and situation would help others and I offer a more tailored solution to your problem.
I can't use ADB because I've mangled my USB port - it only charges now via USB nothing else (charges slowly also ).
I think I'll have to get the USB port repaired!
What ROM are you using at the moment? Some allow you to use adb over your Wifi connection.
Yeah I suggest changing the USB port or use another comp.

I've got the same issue as you. I'm trying figure out how to get back to S-ON for warranty.
Hello,
I hope someone can help. I am trying to get my computer to recognise my phone. I am not rooted and I have Marshmellow 6.0.1
I unlocked developer options. I bought a cable and it worked! The computer saw my phone. However it stopped seeing my phone. Why I don't know! But when it did work I saw the driver was not for the 5x but from my S4. Well since it's not working I ordered the recommended USB cables by Benson Leung Tech Matte. Still unable to see my phone. Tried cables on another computer with same results. The computer I tried it on recognised my phone and then it also stopped seeing my phone.
I also bought a usb c stick to use on my phone. My phone responds to the stick but when I choose for MTP from charging nothing happens and i cannot access the USB Stick. In Dev options MTP is selected. I also noticed that USB tethering is not available. I have no clue what to try next.

USB debugging needs to be selected. Also, you need to toggle to PTP and back to MTP
Install correct drivers onto your pc

Thanks for the drivers. USB Debugging is on. When I toggled Charging popped up instead of PTP and so I kept toggling and it finally went to PTP and so I toggled MTP and it goes back to charging! So I kept at it until it finally went to MTP. Is this normal? I counted 12 tries before changing from charging to PTP! But the computer doesn't see the phone. I did it a few times

i honestly never thought about this, is this even supposed to work without some kind of an OTG adapter. i mean sure, the plugs fit, put do the pins match/work for that configuration?
from how you describe that your phone reacts i would guess it doesn't, and it sounds more like your phone goes into client, as opposed to host mode.
very interested to see what someone with more knowledge of the matter would have to say about plugging a usb-c memory stick directly into your phone.

I've used several phones on my PC and at first it had a little trouble but finally settled in. Kind of like a new ROM. You have to give it a while to settle in and get its groove on.

not really a surprise there, but what OP described was putting a usb-C stick directly into the phone, without any cables or adapters in between, with the question emerging if that is even supposed to work (which in his case didn't) due to possible problems of the pin-layout, etc.

that does not explain his PC suddenly not recognizing his phone anymore though.
at this point it sounds to me like either there still is a driver issue (e.g. the mentioned S4 driver wan't properly uninstalled), or one of the usb ports (phone or pc) has an issue.
try different ports on your PC and make sure other devices work with the ports. if not try if you can get it to work by applying a little pressure in different directions to the cable and listen out for windows' annoying usb sound.
on the other end make sure your phone really is connected correctly to the cable. it should snap in just like the OEM charging cable which took some time getting used to to overcome the resistence of the usb-c port.

Thanks again for your quick reply,
I tried my Samsung Tab II tablet and my old S4 on my PC and they both work as advertised. Recognised right away and I hadn't used my tablet to my PC before. What I think is maybe its the USB on the phone itself?

I think its the phone itself, since it did work briefly. Also with the USB C thumb drive the phone recognises it but will not read the thumb drive. I ordered it from play store I wonder how getting it repaired/looked at is going work Have to wait until Monday to call!
Hello again,
I Hope you guys like some feedback about my issue. Contacted Google and they asked me just about all the same questions and had me do some screen shots and try some of their ideas such as factory reset, trying other computers and other cables. Nothing worked so they sent me a new phone! Just got it yesterday. Would have been here sooner but I was busy!
So got new phone setup and the computer recognizes my phone on PTP but not MTP. Also my driver for the phone is a generic nexus and the it still shows up as a samsung! How can I get the new driver if when i do a search for new driver my computer says I have the best driver already installed? I don't want the driver to still be a problem. So i hope you guys have some answers. Lol! I know you guys do!!

If you had a samsung phone before you need to uninstall all the samsung drivers then install the proper nexus drivers
I was a little worried about uninstalling the driver but it worked!! Thanks! Now i can root it!!

Check USB cable. Usually, it is caused by Data + and Data - connection to loose its solder.
Check USB ports too.
Check ADB drivers installed too.

Check the notification on the phone. It'll ask you for the connection mode and once you choose the right one the phone will show on the device list.
