[Q] computer wont recognize phone anymore

Hi everyone- I think I broke my phone, but any suggestions would be appreciated. I had cog3 and wanted to upgrade to cog4. I started by disabling voodoo lagfix, but it hung up there for about an hour. I powdered down and now nothing works. I see a screen with a phone and computer and an exclamation poit. I am able to get to d/l mode, but odin doesn't recognize it. Tried reinstalling usb drivers, but windows thin ks im plugging in a gadget serial, whatever that is. Not sure where to go from here. Thanks again for any help

Make sure you have usb debugging enabled.

Connect phone to computer and hit usb connect. Android shouls turn from green to orange.

usb debugging
I can't turn the phone on to do that. I can't believe I forgot to turn usb debugging on before I started! Is there a way to turn it on without being able to turn the phone on?

Might want to try a couple of other USB ports on the computer. I know that it does not see my phone unless I plug it into a port on the back of the computer.

Tried different usb ports, even different computers, no luck. I failed to mention that I used an i9000 kernel. Do I need the i9000usb drivers?

Just an update : had to uninstall mini kies, reinstall, load the drivers per the ofgicial froyo upgrade instructions, then odin finally saw the phone and I was able to flash back to stock.

USB debugging mode after brick

Hi so I bought a used captivate off of ebay and tried to flash to stock (baseband was different) using the AIO tool but it was stuck and got bricked. I am now able to get into the download mode screen but I am not sure what to do next? If I use AIO again it says I need USB debugging mode so what do I do now?
Please help

USB debbugging is not need to use Odin. It just needs download mode (USB debugging is need to for master clear). And your are not bricked, your softbricked.

download Odin3 1 click. it will get you to stock without having to deal with the aio stuff. after it's downloaded, make sure it's running BEFORE you plug your phone to the computer. (phone should be in download mode). then click start and dont touch anything. advisable to to master clear after that. to master clear, phone is on and in debegging mode when plugged in.

Thanks for the replys, Ill try it. I was confused about the different types of Odin softwares but I will try that then.

Jackman, Odin one click is included in aio he just needs to ignore the USB debugging stuff.

speedy_11, I have tried the AIO one click and when i click start it reads
"<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 0)"
I just downloaded the standalone oden executable and it is doing something when i press the start. I can see a progress bar on the phone so I have hope.
How long does odin 1click downloader usually take?

a few minutes make sure that it is connect to a usb that is directly connected to the motherboard

yes, I have it connected to my motherboard but the progress have been idle for the last ten minutes. the log message reads.
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
It has been like that for a while now

Try aging sometimes mine gets stuck like that. take out the battery and go back into download. and have Odin open before like jack man said.

I retried and it got stuck a little further than last time. I think I will keep retrying.
What does the master clear button do? the Original Odin 1 click states how to use it but doesn't explain what it is.
Thanks again for the help.
Thanks alot speedy and jack. I got it to finanally go stock. Had to try over half a dozen time. and worked the minute i switched a usb port.

it deletes everything off your phone, but your phone needs to be on and have usb debugging on to work. Are you using a Samsung data cable?

Try using the odin one click back to stock by designgears in the development section

I hope i have this in the right place....
I have recently successfully flashed odin one click to KJ3 stock with GB bootloaders and now when i have the debugging mode checked green and plug into the PC, it does not go into debugging mode.....
Im using samsung data cable and from the looks and feel of everything the entire phone is working just fine except for the debugging part....
Do i need to re-flash again back to a different rom all together?
Also one last question if you guys don't mind....i lost root when i moved from Froyo 2.2 KB2 to GB 2.3.5 Kj3.....can i use the same root method as i did with the Froyo?

For the debugging issue, try turning off the debugging, then go back to USB settings and select Mass storage, back out and turn on debugging. Now connect to ur computer and see if that helps.
For root, use the FuguRoot Mod or just use Heimdall or Odin to flash a Kernel (one of at least the kj3 base that u r on) that has Root baked in. Or just use SuperOneClick.

grrr
tried the mass storage thing and still nothing....
Also i found the KJ3 Boog kernel w/CWM...however i still need to wait til i get the debugging issue sorted out....grrr
Not 100% sure but i dont think i need to set my phone to Kies then debugging right?

your phone has to be unplugged for you to enter debugging mode, so no, kies mode is not required.
so wait, what exactly is your issue now? debugging mode doesnt work, right?
how are you confirming that it does not work?

Correct "Bloodskin": Debugging mode doesn't show up in status bar like it used to. (it used to give me the choice after plugging into PC between selecting "Debugging Mode" OR "USB Connection") I generally leave the USB setting on "Mass Storage" while also having the "Debugging Mode" checked
Now even with all of the "mentioned" possibilities that have now been explored...still no option shows up for me to select actual "Debugging Mode"
I have noticed that "Download Mode" is working equally as would "Debugging Mode" (only used when flashing .tar files via Odin)
I have gotten around this issue but it still stands that the Debugging option does not show up in the status bar after plugging into the PC. So there is no rush on finding the cause...(just simply confused is all lol)
Thank you in advance for everything thus far and still to come if any...?!

I think I'm catching on to the issue; if I'm way off please forgive me.
USB debugging shows up in the status bar, but it is not something you select. It is just a notification that lets you know that it is on. A lot of custom ROMs turn the notification off because most of us just leave it on all the time, so it's annoying to have the notification any time the USB cord is plugged in. If you do click it, it just takes you to the development menu where you can turn it off. Unless you're trying to turn it off, selecting debugging from the notification bar isn't necessary, since if you have the notification debugging is already on.
Under settings / applications / development, is the USB Debugging box checked? If it is, debugging mode should be active. Depending on the ROM, there may or may not be an icon in the status bar. Have you tried using ADB without the icon to verify whether it is in fact working?

Ahh yes you are right "3" ...right on the money!!!
that makes perfect sense..and yes it is always checked for me. Like you said we tend to leave it on all the time. Although i have not tried to see if it is actually working or not i truly believe you will be correct. Headed home now and will check when i get there.
Adam...thank you!! lookin forward to you guys next release of andromedas full package.
Ty both for your time with me!

Possible usb brick... Need help solving it

Hey everything has been fine until today when i noticed my computer is unable to recognize the usb connection with my galaxy note.... everything seems so strange and sudden as it worked before and i havent changed anything within last days......thinking its a possible glitch ... i checked on other pc.... same effect... changed usb wire... same.... even odin doesnt recognize it in download mode im so confused.... is there anyone able help me solve this problem...? Why would my phone suddenly become usb bricked without any changes to rom ? how to fix this issue... ?
please help me im really upset today cuz of that
the phone can be charged but thats all... no usb connection with computer.... both in download mode as in system

Was going to suggest that you cleaned the usb connection, but your phone charges ok so it should be alright. Try re-installing the drivers & restart your pc, they may of somehow been corrupted. Worth a try.

I did faced the same problem as well. But i did succeed to repair of it.
Im not sure this method will work for you or not but you can give it a try.
Dont use usb mode to connect with your pc or laptop. Try to use mtp mode to connect. Thus pc will try to reinstalled the related driver as needed. Please uncheck debugging mode as well.
Good luck mate.

mtp cannot be switched on without usb wire plugged and computer shows no reaction apart from charging while plugging the wire. no "sound" of "usb device plugged" no "unknown device plugged" pop up only charging ..... ;( :crying:

would it be possible to somehow unroot mobile without using PC odin ?
possibly via mobile odin ? i have stock software just rooted kernel with some custom CMW,
where can i find stock kernel my software seems to be zskj6 do i need to use same kernel ? ? will it remove recovery so i can return for warranty ?
will flashing STOCK kernel remove root and CMW ?
triangle away seemed to work and reseted flash counter to 0

USB isnt being recognised! HELP!!!

My device doesnt appear on my PC when I connect it and niether does my phone pop up USB debugging menu which it once used. I have no clue what happened to my poor phone. Its running 4.2.2 cm. And it doesnt get recognised by odin either in the download mode. what may have gone wrong?

Do you have force fast charge turned on? If you do simply turn it off.

You have to install usb samsung drivers

you mean from developer options? I don't get the message in the notification tray "USB connected" where as I used to get it previously. Now it simply charges the device and nothing more

Yes, from developer option enable debugging mode as pic below
And about Odin don't recognize your phone, you have to download Samsung driver>Restart PC > boot your phone into download mode then plug it to PC it will be recognized.. If you have win8 installed and it still don't recognize your phone then install driver from windows update..
In win7 it install it automatically

I've already got those settings enabled. But My phone doesn't get connected
Usually it gives me notification USB Connected and then I could select it to turn on USB or not. But now it doesn't give me that nitofcation when I connect it even though it still charges my phone. Are there any drivers inside the phone Which may have got corrupted or something?

1-I know that you are using semaphore kernel so, Did you enabled fast charge? If yes disable it as shown in pic
2- try to unplug your phone,uncheck debugging and re-enable it again then connect your phone and see

No, its useless and consume ram

Try a new flash... factory reset. Wipe cache format system dir etc to get a clean start.
It worked for me to clear the problem. Just remember to back up apps and data first.... titanium or similar.

Hello Hussam91,
I can think of two things:
First - maybe you didn't see the message in the notification bar? (see attached picture)
(The button in the middle - tap it and allow the USB connection in the next screen).
If this was not the reason - maybe this can help you then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144709
I had the problem that I could not connect the phone in myPhoneExplorer via USB. The reason seems to be a new usb security feature.
Make sure you have the latest adb drivers installed, like mentioned in the thread.
I ran "adb devices" from the command line (like mentioned in thread), first the phone was shown offline. Then, a popup was shown on the phone that allowed me to add my computer's fingerprint. After that, everything worked fine.
Greetings!

The support is poor man. Shouldn't have messed with it. Go on ebay and search for JTAG service. You need to mail it out and have it flashed for $30 Good luck

Just a sidenote... everytime you flash a ROM VIA anything (Not just FlashFire... I don't thing FlashFire is at fault here is I have flashed my ROM with FlashFire and it works just fine) turn on USB Debugging Mode in Developer Options.
USB Debugging Mode enables the PC to connect to the phone and apply changes/use the terminal...

Is that true even when you can't get into DL mode (ie black screen)
I bricked two GS3s, with no screen response whatsoever, but my computer (windows) would connect to the phone through USB cable (couldn't initialize the sd card though, or have Odin detect it like before)
So your saying in that situation I can still send it terminal commands?
Hit reply thanks

I'm just under the impression that if the computer *dings* at you when you have your phone plugged in then it's charging it... and if you had USB Debugging mode enabled then you would be able to act on it at least VIA command terminal... but I don't know for sure as I've never tried and the only time I bricked my GS3 (had it bricked before when I had it) I had USB Debugging mode enabled on it and was able to flash a new ROM VIA odin and unbrick it... and then I was smart enough to turn the USB Debugging mode off (for no reason whatsoever) and then I bricked it again... now I'm using GS5 and I threw that GS3 away...
