My sister has the same phone as me, and I havent flashed a new rom for her since she bought it. (shes running SRE 1.2.1a)
I had no problems with this phone before, but now when I went to plug it up just to backup all her stuff my PC won't recognize it. "USB Device Not Recognized" message on PC.
Its set on USB mass storage mode, and USB debugging is checked. I also tired manually installing the driver again, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Long shot but try a different usb port.
Where did you get the usb drivers. There are a couple of sources. Maybe trying a second source may help.

tried different ports, also just tried a different computer. Still no luck.
I want to try to just flash a different rom through rom manager, but i dont wanna brick it. If the phone is messed up she can at least use it with her old rom.
Where did you get the drivers. There are some provided by samsung, and there are different drivers that can be found on this forum

Both phones on the same PC? I'm guessing the could be the cause of the problem. First off, I'd try connecting her phone using another computer. You might try a fresh boot on the PC and the phone.
Did you "mount the drive" which is done from the pull-down menu on the 'phone which comes up right after the USB cable is plugged in. If that does not come up, I'd guess the "two phones on one computer" might be the problem.
I just got my Note last week. I am trying to sync my phone to laptop. But somehow, it gets stuck on "connecting". Any tips or other alternatives? Thanks in advance. I plan on rooting my phone. Thats why I need to back up my phone first. Thanks in advance!
What OS are you using? Did you install the USB drivers?
Windows. Yes I in stalled it. But somehow it says that its not properly installed. And problems may occur. I dont know the reason. I tried, reinstalling it, but still same problem. Can I sync it wirelessly?
Hi.
I had the same problem, but it worked after I unchecked the USB Debugging.
Regards
Your problem is most probably the usb debugging uncheck it and your phone is in kiesmode

Try uninstalling, downloading from the country website your phone is from. Or your csc is from. Download from the N7000 page kies. Then install and run as admin. If it doesnt connect perform the connection wizard, or connection troubleshooting. that will reinstall drivers. These steps work for me everytime.

Do a software update over wifi for your phone and downdload the latest kies from official website.

Sorry if this is a stupid answer but I was having a lot of trouble connecting my note to the PC. I was using a cable I used for all my phones that worked fine. Someone told me to try it with the cable Samsung supplied and after that it all worked fine. I just thought it might be worth trying.

I am using the Kies usb. i already downloaded the Kies via the samsung website. And After I opened it, it says a newer version is available. So I updated. I also tried the Kies air, I can see the apps on my phone, but I seem cant find where is the sync button for me to make a back up for my phone. How do i use Kies wifi? Sorry again for these noob questions. First time to use android phones. Thanks again!
Kies wifi needs phone and computer to be on same router

Kies Air doesn't do that. The main (PC) KIES app does. But, even if you connect through KIES, it will only allow you to back up things like contacts, photos, ringtones etc. It won't be a full backup of your system.
What can help if KIES doesn't see your phone:
1. Installing the latest version of KIES (which you already did)
2. Making sure your phone is in the MTP (not USB memory) mode. It should be as a default, unless you actually click on "USB memory" button when connecting to PC
3. Unchecking "USB debugging"
4. Running the connection repair wizard in KIES (I have a local language version, so I don't know the exact English name) - this reinstalls drivers - and then connecting again.
5. Trying a different USB port or cable
6. Rebooting both the phone and computer
If all fails, then probably this is a problem with Windows drivers. Repairing this would require a bit of expertise and involves booting Windows in safe mode, checking which devices and drivers are actually installed and removing any that seem suspicious. If you have never done that, an easier option would be installing KIES on another computer and doing the backup there.
Theoretically, running the connection repair wizard in KIES should clean and reinstall the right drivers for your phone, but in practice this doesn't always work as it should.
HELP HELP HELP -- I recently plugged my phone into my com to transfer music. samsung kies then started up and told me i needed a firmware upgrade. I proceeded to upgrade and mid upgrade i received an on screen message that my device wasn't recognised and the upgrade was auto cancelled. I now have a message with bright yellow/green trianle that says "do not turn off target". I have reinstalled kies - no luck. knocked phone on and off -no luck. i'm at a loss with what to do with the phone now !! phone not even being recognised by com or kies. Can anyone help please??? many many thanks in advance... thanks. ian.
Seems that you're new to that, so let me explain: if you see the yellow triangle with the android, you're in download mode. Normally, you access it by pressing power+home+vol down buttons while screen is off. As long as you can access download mode, your device isn't bricked. Now that you can't access anything else than download mode, you have to flash a new firmware with Odin. I recommend you to search for the JW4 firmware here in general section. There you should find help on how to flash it(best is Faryaab's thread).
maybe you can try and do a hard reset and flash a ROM from yr SD card..reboot in recoverymode..if the phone does not reboot..try and run the rooting program,might work.But most likely you'll have to reinstall the firmware...

Yep, I don't think that he has rooted, so flashing a ROM won't work.
hmmm....i get it..best thing to do i think,when it's up and running again..DoOMlords easy rooting kit worked fine for me.No problem getting it to work and you've got more options to fix any problem..good luck to the poster anyway xx

I don't really think that he rooted his phone ever before, so I don't think that he needs root now... but if he wants to try it out, CF-root or DoOMlords rooting kit are the right choises.
Long story short...after bootlooping my phone trying to flash it, I was able to get it into download mode after A LOT of trying button/time/etc...combos. Used Odin one click, reset phone, it booted up and all looked well. Powered down phone, tried to power back on and I get the "connecting" screen. I've literally looked these (and other) forums up and down for HOURS AND HOURS.
Tried all the possible 3 button combos I've read about...no dice, continues to go into "connecting", so after MANY attempts, I broke down and made a home made jig. Didn't work either. Thought I may have did it wrong, so I ordered one...nope, still no luck. Thought maybe it was bad...ordered a 2nd one from different person...and wham...NOTHING. Returning it or anything is completely out of the question, (another long story), so I'm stuck with a phone that doesn't work and am out of options.
Is there ANY known ways to fix this considering all I've tried? Ready to explode from trying so long lol.

Have u tried using that screen as a Download Mode screen ?? Odin or Heimdall may acknowledge recognition of your phone from that screen. If so, then try the Stock GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912

You can contact Josh at http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/. They fix these at a reasonable price. I have heard that your phone is always salvageable if it displays something on the screen.
Did you only try one odin one click? What OS are you running? Don't despair!

Neither will recognize it. Windows doesn't even recognize it...although Odin and Windows did before this happened.

What rom were you trying to flash? If it was an ics build you might need the nexus USB drivers for odin to recognize your device. Also to use hemdall you have to use a different USB port than what you normally use for Odin. Both Odin and hemdall kinda claim that port once its used by that particular program..

Bit of an update...
Left phone sitting overnight with USB connected to it and computer with the phone/computer screen showing. Stuck jig in, did a weird combo with another jig (2 jigs combined with both on 4/5 and 1 resistor)...did nothing. Plugged back into computer and for the FIRST time, I got a message from windows saying that it didn't recognize the device...IE...it finally atleast recognized the phone. Tried opening Odin and Hemdal just to see if they would pick it up...neither did. So after trying to install the drivers again (did sucessfully, but didn't recognize phone), I unplugged phone and repeated the entire process down to the letter...and nothing again. 2nd time, computer didn't recognize phone being plugged in.
Thought maybe this would give some more info...sooooooo wanting to get this fixed.
Did u try it with the nexus usb drivers as robm1911 suggested above ??

I've tried the Nexus drivers from Samsung site if that's what you mean...same result.
I had the same problem with my captivate, the heimdall drivers conflict with the Samsung ones. download the generic Samsung drivers, run the program and install it, then open up Odin, plug the phone in while it's on the triangle-!-computer screen. Should recognize it.

Re-downloaded Samsung drivers...no change. Tried 5 different cords on 2 computers...just won't register the device being there.
U may have tried this but.....how about uninstalling all drivers--i897, nexus, heimdall(libsusb), etc. then start from there. Install, etc. Idk, may be worth a try.

Well, haven't removed ALL of the drivers, but I have tried 2 other computers that have never had any of the drivers on them and windows doesn't pick up the phone to ask for drivers so I manually put Samsung ones on...still nothing.
BTW, thanks for the quick replies and all the suggestions...keep 'em coming! I'm determined to figure this out LOL

I know that on the s3 theres a code you enter in the dailer and you can change some settings there on how your device connects eather that or your drivers on the pc got corrupt. Try reinstalling drivers and google that code maybe there is one for our phone.

You just go to Download Mode, connect to USB. It should install a driver. And then it'll be fixed.
