Hey everyone. I just did the system update from 2.3.6 - 4.0.4. My phone does not like 4.0.4 at all and is almost not functional. I wanted to root and put on roms I know worked fine. So I did some looking through the forums and found a odin one-click for EL29 root. Followed instructions, odin doesn't see that phone is connected. Hmm, ok so I went and made sure USB debugging was on and it was but there was no USB mass storage mode. Any ideas on how to get usb turned on so that I can root my E4GT?
Sounds like you're not putting your phone in download.. Below is taken directly from the OP of that thread..
read, read, read.. and don't do like some and say it's too verbose..
Oh, and place the phone in download while you're NOT connected to your pc.. (That's also in to OP..)

You don't need that to root your phone. Just put it in download mode and run ff18 rooted by sfhub. And you're all set to flash

I tried a different cable on all the usb ports on my tower, and all of them on my laptop. Still nothing ICS has made me ready to smash my phone.
I'm going to try it on my computer at work tonight. I'll keep checking this thread
Got it to work! I guess my phone just doesn't like my desktop or laptop at home :/ Thank you for the help guys

Odd. Glad ya got it to work. Trying making sure you run a windoze up date on your pc's at home if you haven't already. Saw a few posts from people before that say that helped.

Thought I'd bring this up since I saw a similar issue the other day. Turns out that it didn't like the port replicator for the laptop - the USB ports on the laptop though are fine.

i assume you are still able to charge your phone? do you have a custom rom installed? reinstall latest proper drivers. i would try a factory reset or a hard reset. if that does not work it may be a hardware issue.

any way to convert a stock kdz to a .bin file, maybe it can resolve my problem?
Nope,no way.
If you have a wireless network home,you can always use airdroid to transfer files to/from phone.

I had this issue, had to RMA it.
Most likely, the device is still covered by manufacturer's waranty, use it!
Have done this and they changed the usb port on the phone but that didnt solve the problem, after, the guy at the cellstore said me that because i have changed the rom they cannot send it again to lg...

Indeed, unless you can go back to stock... Which is kinda hard without USB :|
Anyway to return stock without usb?
do you have 32 or 64bit Windows?
tried another usb port and maybe another cable if you ain't using the stock LG OEM USB cable.
if it don't wanna get detected on your pc try a friends pc or laptop see if that work.
32 & 64, osx , ubuntu all tried with different pc and cable.

that sounds weird then because last time i had this problem it was the cable i used on my own pc it didn't work here, but it did on my dad's laptop.
it was when i found out that the original lg oem usb cable couldn't charge my phone anymore, but data works fine.
I went to a cellphone reparation shop, they tested it and tell me that it must be an hardware or firmware issus with the phone...

I have been using my OTG cable for a couple of months now. I normally use it to connect my s3 to my usb speakers which worked flawlessly. One day I was listening to music using my usb speakers and suddenly it stops working. Ever since then, whenever I plug my OTG cable to any usb device, nothing happens. Any ideas on what may have happened and how may I resolve this issue?

First thing I would do is to try a different OTG usb cable or usb extension cable , or try the existing usb cable with a different phone.
The phone does not need to be the same make or model.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I've tried 2 different OTG cables with no luck. It's gotta be the phone because I plugged in my brother's Note II and audio was working fine with the usb speakers. Any other ideas?
Anybody else have this issue?
Anyone?
Well since it doesn't seem to be the cable, what I would do is do a full wipe and reflash ROM or do a restore with Odin

Sorry to I forgot to mention that I've tried Odin back to stock, Full wipe and reflashed a rom. Still does not work. It will not detect any usb device.

You can also try this:
Get a contact enhancing agent like Deoxit! or Cramolin and put a tiny dab on the contacts of the cable and insert and remove the cable in the USB socket. DO NOT FLOOD THE CONNECTOR! a tiny amount works better. On the Cramolin label says the less you use the better it works... that should help you get it working. Sometimes pocket lint gets in that connector and makes it hard to get working. A can of "canned Air" would not hurt using it in the contact area of both the plug and socket. It'd also help getting the fluids into the plug before reinserting into the socket.
Good luck
P.S.
you can get the stuff from ebay, and cramolin frrom ebay... Cramolin is or at least was cheaper, but I think Deoxit! works better.

Uninstall all the Samsung USB Drivers and Uninstall KIES if you have that installed then reboot the computer.
Then Install the newest Samsung USB drivers which can be found here: http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834451
Be sure that the phone is unplugged from the computer when installing the new Samsung USB drivers.
After the new usb drivers are installed try the ODIN flash again.
It should work.

I just had this happen with my otg cable... was working just the other day, but now it no longer works in a nexus 10, nexus 7 (2013), GS3 or GS4. Any idea what could cause that?
If it doesn't work on any device, bad cable. Probably needs replacement.

I recently upgraded to the S5 and wanted to turn my phone back in to Sprint for a credit. When I went to flash it back to stock using Odin the USB connected then randomly disconnected during the flash. Now it won't boot into anything but emergency mode and wont stay connected in Odin long enough to flash. I made sure the drivers installed and the pc could see the phone when plugged in. I am using a cord that is only a couple of weeks old. At this point are there any options to put it back to stock or am I out of luck? I never used Kies either. Thanks in advance for the help.

I've tried about three different cables, all three USB ports and the only other laptop is a Windows 8 machine I can't get to detect the phone at this point. So it is sounding like my suspicions are confirmed on a successful flash. Thank you for the advice, love the signature btw!

oh check what i added on the other post and and my laptop is a windows 8.1 machine just sometimes even if the drivers installed i have to check in the Device Manager and Manually make the correct driver work for my phone
Hello all. Hopefully someone can help me. I' having issues using ODIN on my SM-G965U1, unlocked US version. I have Win 10 Pro, the latest drivers from Samsung. I am using the Samsung cable out of the box. Included in the screenshot is my issue. ODIN just sits at setup connection, sometime it says failed to connect to serial(COM) port. I have tried the latest official versions as well as the modded by RaymonF and the PatcheD 3.13.1_3B version.
I'd appreciate any input on this. Thanks...oh, and my phone is on ARI1 firmware.
Maybe try using another USB port and see if that works.
Yes

Hope you've solved it by now, but I solved it by loading Odin, putting in the files, with phone plugged in of course, then rebooting the phone directly to download mode again while still plugged in. Leave Odin running the whole time, then once in download mode again, hit start in Odin and it will flash.
