Ok so I have a new epic 4g (my other one broke). it is not rooted yet so I installed the drivers and everything and go to use odin but it never recognizes it. i have tried 2 different USB cords, even though I rooted my other epic using the same cord.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Did you use the same port? Also make sure you are not using a hub or extension cable.
DL Drivers from Samsung/Delete USB Hubs in Dev Mgr
I actually had the same problem. It took me a while, and I'm not sure I totaly understand why, but this is what I think I did:
I had an EVO 4G and it had been rooted on the same PC, so just plugging the phone in using that cable, the PC (Win 7) kept seeing an Android phone (Generic). I uninstalled via Device Manager all USB Root Hub (Found this in another post), and rebooted.
When I plugged the phone back in, again it came up as generic Android. I deleted that, scanned for HW changes, and installed drivers from Samsung web site.
Still couldn't get Odin to see my phone, so I switched cables to the OEM that came with my phone, placed the phone into DL mode (PWR + VOL DOWN) then plugged it in. My PC now saw this as a Samsung Android Device under the USB section in Device Manager. Odin then recogonized my phone and the rest was all down hill.
One trick I also figured out was to run Odin as Admin. Even though my profile was an admin, it's a stupid UAC thing. Hope this helps.
stuff to try
Different usb port
reboot PC after installing drivers
Make sure phone is not plugged in when you installed the drivers
Different usb cable
run odin in admin mode
refresh windows devices when phone is plugged in
good luck!
you might try heimdall, as it comes with a usb driver that you can force install (has worked for me perfectly when odin is overly picky)
The device acts as if it is being charged.
Steps I have taken so far:
-uninstalled T-mo Samsung mobile drivers and reinstalled
-deleted (uninstalled) ALL recognized USB devices via USB deview
-tried to connect without Samsung drivers installed and all USB devices uninstalled
-tried to connect with Samsung drivers installed and all USB devices uninstalled
-tried to connect without Samsung drivers and other devices installed
-tried to connect using safe mode, both with drivers installed and not
---**these are both trying with the current one provided on Samsung's site (1.5.14.0) and with the one found here on XDA from 25apr2013 (1.5.23.0)
-tried to connect using different USB ports
-tried to connect using a different USB port on a different USB controller altogether
The kicker:
Device is recognized instantly... on my laptop.
This means:
-It is not the USB cable I am using (even though I have tried 3 different cables altogether regardless, including the one that came with the phone)
-It is not the device itself
Possible: Windows issue? Last time this happened was long ago when I had gotten a MyTouch 3G Slide. I eventually just reinstalled Windows since I had been meaning to then. I don't want to do it now though because I have too many things installed on here to start a fresh install... but I suppose if nothing else works, that's what I'll have to do.
Before that though, I would love to hear any other suggestions from anyone here.
Some time the fault cud be the cable itself... I had same issue months ago my original samsung UsB cables didn't worked... It olwyz show the msg UsB not recognized... Then I tried with a different UsB cable (i had a Nokia UsB cable) and it worked...
Try it...
Cheers!!!

As stated, I have tried to use two other USB cables aside from just the one that came in the package.
Since all cables work on the laptop, but not this computer, I have pretty much singled it out to be a windows or a driver issue. :\
What are the specs of your desktop and the specs of your laptop? You claim it is a windows issue so I assume your laptop (that recognizes the phone) is not windows? Do you have Kies on the PC? If so, try to uninstall it completely and then install the individual drivers. Also, maybe just try updating Kies. You wouldn't need to install it, just download to your PC should work. As far as that goes, does Kies recognize the phone when plugged in at all? Does ODIN recognize the phone when plugged in? Maybe some of this will help you to find out if it is a driver issue or not. Good luck.

PC is i7 920, 12GB DDR3, Intel x58
Laptop is i5 2430M, 6GB DDR3, Sandy Bridge
Both are Win7 Pro, neither have Kies (I always just downloaded the drivers themselves) but I'm downloading it now to give it a try. As of now, nothing recognizes the phone on PC.
Kies method didn't work either
I did "Troubleshoot connection error", which I guess reinstalled the driver, but it still didn't work.
Getting ready to dig out that Win7 Pro CD at this point... :\

Enabling dev options and USB debugging was the first thing I did once I turned on the phone. Tried it both with and without, still not recognized either way. Still recognized on laptop.
I've also reinstalled windows altogether, since that fixed my issue last time around, but it's no good this time still. Clean install, formatted. No good. Previous steps from first post also taken, still no good. Tried the PDAnet method as well, no good.
At this point I am wondering if it might be an x58 issue, which would really suck, but it's the only thing I can think of given all the steps I have taken.
Okay... so what's the trick on getting Windows 7 x64 to recognize this device in Download Mode?
I have enabled USB Debugging. Tried several different ports on my Maximus V Extreme motherboard. I have tried using the PDANet drivers. Nothing works.Windows will prompt me with the "Device Driver software was not successfully installed" message. Anyone know a trick?
EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT. The last Android device I owned was the Galaxy S2. Now, back then it was understood that one should avoid Kies like the plague. However, in this case, it solved my problem. It installed all necessary drivers and I was able to communicate with ODIN. Cheers.

I might have pinpointed the issue!
I tried Kies again, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated. No go. I did Kies by air and got a connection! So It's gotta be something with the USB.
Although I thought it was weird, I think it might be an x58 issue, I decided to pursue that anyways.
I found out that USB issues are common with x58 (per this forum: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=159610 ) and will be trying a fix located here: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=442244&mpage=1
I'll report back once I try this out. Hopefully it fixes it.
If not, I just ordered another USB 3.0 controller (completely unrelated, it doesn't need to be USB 3.0, just a different controller altogether, but USB 3.0 is backwards compatible anyways. I just needed one for blackmagic) which was PCI-e x1 (still dependent on x58, so it wouldn't have mattered, check diagram on fix link), which I WAS going to install in my PCI-e x1 slot, but that would have not worked! Going to install in a PCI-e x16 and hope for the best.
I'll reply back once I test that out too.

In case anyone was wondering or stumbles upon this later, I have a few updates.
I got the USB controller today and plugged it into the PCI-e x16 slot, plugged in the S4 and it worked completely fine.
I also contacted EVGA about the issue and will get an RMA, so perhaps it's just a faulty unit. However, this seems rather common (refer to previous linked threads) in x58 chips.
I imagine it has something to do with power distribution with the controller, which is why upping the ICH voltage fixes it for some people. The USB controller is powered via 4pin, not dependent on Southbridge. I guess the S4 has higher voltage(?) requirements for it to be recognized. It seems rather strange since my other devices are still recognized, but well, that's what I managed to come up with.
Cheers.

Here's my craziness.
USB connection was working yesterday. Today, it is not.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the Samsung Windows drivers/Kies
I have even adjusted my southbridge voltage to 1.2V in my BIOS
Still, no joy.
Curiously, when I boot the phone into download/ODIN mode and connect it, ODIN recognizes the connection. Reboot back into normal mode, and no USB connection is recognized. It is not showing up in my Device Manager as an unrecognized device. It just doesn't know it is there (unless phone is in download mode).
UPDATE: Solved. I had installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261013). Reading back over the thread, it provided instructions for re-enabling the USB recognition of the phone. Had to re-enable the developer options and reset USB debugging. Makes sense now.
HI
I'm facing this issue today, I've tried two different laptops, both have Windows 7 x64 installed. I've tried every USB port on the two machines, I've tried with three different cables, I've downloaded and installed every USB driver there is. no use!
I'm out of options here and I can't think where to look further.
any help please?

很想帮你啊 可是英文水平比较拙计
ok so now I'm guessing it is not windows, I tried on another machine with Windows Vista and got the same error.
any thoughts, anyone?
Did a factory reset for the phone
no it works!
don't know why
I just picked up this phone a couple days ago and last night tried to get the USB to work with no luck. I've tried everything I can think of. It does work in PTP mode but not MTP mode. I was able to use odin to on it though, so I was able to root it.
I've tried both in linux and on windows xp. I've never had an issue with any phone on linux and have installed/removed drivers numerous times on XP.
Tried 3 different cables, Factory reset with and without USB installed, tried pretty much everything I could find while googling similar problems (removing old registry entries, installed media player, etc)
I have adb installed on my linux box and even with debugging enabled I can't even get adb to connect to the phone.
Definitely something strange going on. Maybe I'll switch to cm10.1 to see if that makes a difference
I cant get my computer (windows 7) to connect with the phone when the phone is on, and was hoping some one might have found a fix.
This might fix it...

Here's a link with a list of things to try what you may not have tried to fix your problems.
A small number of devices I have worked on have a weird thing, that the first time I plug the cable into the computer, it connects but won't show up on the screen. unplugging the USB cable from the machine for maybe 3 seconds, and reinserting makes the connection work... go figure! :>)
Aloha and Good Luck!

its recpgnizable on laptop and not in pc?
Well, different PCs can act differently to different hardware, software, drivers, etc.
Just curious... what PC you have (Specs)... and if you have installed Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology)? This Intel RST is a real piece of crap that is supposed to help boost your SSD and other drives (though mostly for RAID)... but seems too many people have headaches with it. I just built a new PC with these drivers that came with my motherboard... and it gave me a bunch of problems with my Note2 being detected (even with Samsung USB drivers installed). Finally I got rid of it, and presto, everything fine again.
I have had issues connecting the Note 4 to my PCs. I have tried multiple cables and computers. A usb error appears "Usb Device not recognized" "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and WIndows does not recognize it." All PC's are running windows 8. I have tried connecting it via fastboot to flash to stock as well as through ADB and I cannot get anything to read the device.
Are you using the oem cable? Sometimes cheap generic cables give errors. Enable usb debugging and see if that helps. Good luck.

Thanks but I've tried multiple. OEM and aftermakert cables. I found that when I put it in the charger it doesn't detect it as AC. I believe for some reason when the phone is connected to the PC it doesn't switch to MTP, which could cause the issue. I have wiped the phone, tried different roms, and installing plasma kernel. I am at my wits end. I have tried finding sprint's seceret number to dial, supposedly there's a menu to force MTP but I can't find it anywhere.
OK. So I couldn't connect via cable I tried flashing the stock image though mobile odin and now I lost recovery and the phone bootloops. Does anyone know a way to boot into recovery from the external SD card?
I would just flash the OF5 tar and start from scratch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...om-sm-n910p-stock-of5-odin-flashable-t3158114
Sounds like it's your computer.
Edit: Any other phone's Samsung or not able to connect? Does your phone charge with any or all of your cables? Hopefully the stock cable.
You need to go to Device Manager and Uninstall/reinstall the drivers pertaining to USB
Uninstall the samsung drivers
After that, unplug your powercord from the laptop
connect the phone to your usb port first and then replug your powercord and turn on your laptop
let the usb and samsung drivers reinstall(auto or manual)(if it detects it normally))

I was able to get my Note 3 to connect with no problem, I was even able to get ODIN to detect it in Fastboot. I have one more cable I am going to try tonight, I have my girlfriend bringing it with her. I may have switched an S4 cable with the Note 4 cable. I hope this is the case.

I wish that was the case. I am wondering if it's a windows 8 issue now.
I'm on 8.1 pro, and my devices detects fine under cm12.1.
Have you tried going into Settings > Storage. select the 3 dot menu on the top right and force MTP or PTP detection while device is connected to PC / Laptop?
hello,
my note 2 doesn't turn on. it still remains in the display with samsung logo. i can't enter in recovery, but only in download mode. i tried to reflash the twrp with odin, but odin doesn't recognize the smartphone.
how can i solve?
thank you
Did Odin recognise the phone before?
Unfortunately I've been there, Odin won't recognise the note 2 nether will the PC, there is a problem in the USB socket that comes with the phone that makes the phone unable to be recognized by the PC unless you use the Cable that came with the phone and not always, so you have two options now:
1-keep trying any cable you find, even if it was a camera cable or other devices, or try to find the original note 2 cable.
2-or change the USB socket in your phone with a normal one and you will be able to make it recognized by the PC.
I always hated that issue ?
If you could solve it in another way, then tell me..
Regards Migo
@audit13 no @MigO thanks, i will try with another cable, but i don't have original cable
Also try all usb 2.0 ports and make sure drivers are installed properly.
