Hello, it all started when i wanted to correct a soft-bricked Galaxy Tab 3. In the beginning, it was possible for me to enter download mode. I downloaded the correct samsung drivers, odin v3.07 and the official Greek firmware. I tried several times to unbrick the device but i was getting a failure in odin. After several tries i got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error. I then downloaded Kies and was getting a connection loop. Tried again with odin but i mess things totally because now my device is not even recognized as a device. I changed a cable, i pulled off the battery, changed usb port, rebooted my PC but still... when in "firmware upgrade" error, the device is not recognized AT ALL. I also tried the firmware upgrade method in Kies, by providing a model name and a serial number but i get an error that says my model does not support initializing. Is there a possible way to make the device work or am i "lucky" enough...?
Thanks in advance.

My sprint galaxy nexus is stuck on the phone to pc conection problem screen. I've tried all manner of button pushing to get to the Odin screen to no avail. Odin opens a com port to the phone but trying to flash anything causes Odin to stop working. ADB does not recognize the device. When I attach the phone the computer sees "Samsung USB Driver" in devices so it seems some communication is happening. I've tried all my different cables and usb ports including those that have worked before. Removing drivers via device manager and reinstalling different drivers did not work. Any ideas or links to appropriate threads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Quick update - after a helpful email from one of the JTAG services from ebay (nice guy by the way) I got the phone flashed then up and running.
I manually updated the "Samsung USB Device" with new drivers, used a different tar with a Md5 and Odin 3.04. I have a feeling the manual driver install did the trick but I'm not going back through that again to find out.
Hi!
Got a problem with my Note II.
First, think my phone is softbricked, that's how all started
So i follow a guide here in XDA.
But i can't connect to my phone.
i have installed SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS, restart my computer and so on. when i connect i got - Unknown USB Device (request for device description failed)
u have tried on my pc with 2 different cabels, one of them av NOTE 4 original cabel and the second a noname cabel.
I have also tried on my laptop, same there.
Tried install KIES to get usb drivers there, but nothing
But in ODIN i got "ADDED!", but fails when i du the recovery from XDA thread.
I neither got my device in devicelist in ADB.

Hi, I recently tried using a stock image with odin for my galaxy tab pro 8.4. Odin started flashing but failed when sending system.img.
I tried this process twice and got the same result even using a different USB port in may computer and a different cable but, after the second try (and as the first one I disconnected the computer and restarted into download mode), the tablet usb stopped working.
When I connected it in my first two tries, I got the typical windows sound when you connect anything in the usb, now I dont get anything and not even in the device manager. I tried with another computer and got the same problem, no usb connected sound and nothing in device manager.
My device is now stuck in odin mode. If I try to reboot normally I get into download mode but with the message "Firmware upgrade encounterd an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I have tried deleteing de drivers and installing kies but still nothing.
Can you help me please?
Nevermind

For anyone facing this, you have to wait for the tablet to run out of battery and then connect it again to the computer. It will be detected as before.
Went into twrp v2.8.7.0 to check something then a reboot when red text appeared int hte upper left corner where stock recovery does saying "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and eventually went into "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" the damn thing will not connect to kies in any way, shape or form I have 2 usb 3.0 ports and 2 usb 2.0 ports. I've tried multiple cables- anker, samsung you name it-musical ports, tried right clicking the 4 usb port hubs and unchecking power saving in power mgnt- nothing- uninstalled kies and reinstalled not checking unified drivers but it will not connect to kies. It isn't recognized by the Samsung drivers yet my the usb drivers see my note 4 is, in device mngr, the note tablet shows up in usb at the bottom as samsung device, I am just perplexed as to how to un**** this thing. If anyone has any suggestion, please let me knoiw thanks
I ended up on that screen recently after a failed firmware flash in Odin. I was attempting to flash the latest 5.1.1 firmware I found on Sammobile. My note (P600) has a finicky micro-USB port, so that could have been the problem.
On second try, it worked just fine. Even though Windows explorer wasn't recognizing my tablet, Odin saw it just fine (you can see where it says "added" after plugging it in). I'd recommend giving that a try.
Thats what got me ant the kies thing besides everything pointing kies being the only way out- odin didnt recognize it's existence- plug, unplug nothing on the odin window… I was actually on 5.1.1 and was fine I just don't know who the hell went wrong
Sorry if this is too obvious, but are you able to get it into download mode before trying ODIN?
Hi no it goes right to "Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" nothing else when I was able to get to download mode before it was not showing up in odin at all.

So I was trying to get the beyond rom on my device, As I was currently flashing through Odin for the rom. I'm not sure what happened during the process of the update but odin shut off on its own and cut the update off. Now I have a message on my device saying " An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency Recovery Function in the Smart Switch Mode. ".
I downloaded the smart switch software on my laptop and now the program is saying it's failing to connect to the device. I've reinstalled the samsung drivers tried many different cables not a single one has worked on my device and I've tried a different laptop too nothing has worked.
Really need some assistance on this.
Just flash stock rom with odin.
No need to panic, put yourself back to download mode, reflash firmware with odin
If you can't get it back to D/L mode (like it was in my case), maybe this helps. Mine is a S10+, though. YMMV for an S20xx
