[Q] Pc/Odin Problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm trying to use Odin to install Darky's 10.2 re following the guide posted on Darky Rom forum.
The problem is when ever I hook up the usb cable to my phone in download mode windows tells me that the usb device has malfunctioned and Odin can't see it. If I hook the phone up in normal mode Odin does see it, but obviously can't do the installation.
I've tried from changing usb ports, changing usb cable, re-installing kies drivers, turning kies off in processes, I don't know what else to try...
I'm currently running Darky's 9.5 ee, Firmware 2.2.1, bsaeband I9000xxjve, kernal 2.6.32.9, build no. Darky's v9.5.wjs8.
Any help/suggestions please????
Thanks
B.

Maybe try it?
USB Drivers x64
or
USB Drivers x86
And something else. If you want the Darky 10.2 (2.3.4), you need to flash JVQ then Darky

Which version of Odin are you using?
I always use Odin3 v1.3 as some people reported crashes using Odin3 v1.85..

Guys,
Thank you for the replies!!!
I forgot to mention that I have also tried heimdall on my mac, with the same results, I'll give the drivers a go but not sure they'll work....
I'm using odin v1.3 on my laptop but have also tried v1.7
The mac and the laptop both see the phone when it's in normal mode, but not when it's in download...
Thanks,
B.

I tried to download the drivers, but there are so many files there I'm not sure how to proceed, any suggestions?
Thanks,
B.
P.s sorry for being such a noob!!!!

Hi again,
If there is anyone out there running windows xp could they possibly hook their phone up in download mode, go to device manager and tell me what drivers are listed please.
If I hook my phone up in normal mode I have 3 drivers present, if I hook it up in download mode I don't have any...
Thaknks
B.

change the usb to another conection in the pc.

Odin stopped detecting my sgs, any ideas?

Don't know why but Odin (1.3, 1.53 and 1.7) stopped seeing my phone.
Running it in Win XP, from a Virtualbox under Ubuntu 10.10
Has been running fine so really no clue what's going on.
Strange thing is that Heimdall does work, sees the phone, no probs.
Maybe I changed or deleted something, drivers maybe but I can't recall having changed anything other than some proposed XP updates.
I would like to get Odin recognizing my sgs again so any help would be appreciated!
When you are in Odin, Have you checked KIES is NOT running in the icon tray ??
if you have:
try a different USB port, this happens to me occasionally (weird eh! )
if that fails, try to un-install KIES (if you have it) and then re install it, this should also re install the drivers.
if you dont fancy doing all of that, the drivers are available to download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
Hi, thanks for the quick response.
Kies is completely disabled, only used it once to move to Froyo. I ran the driver update and Odin just worked ever since. It's not the usb port cause Heimdall is working fine on it, btw, switched and and it makes no difference.
I just reinstalled the drivers once more, booted and still odin doesn't see the phone, Heimdall does...
Damn, frustrating. Now what?
I wouldn't bother with trying to run Odin on Ubuntu. I use heimdall on Ubuntu and its less risky than Odin and gives you more pick and mix options!
Its just untar-ing a few files...

i had the same problem, but then i found out i had to re-register with kies, so that my computer would pick up my phone when in download mode. so i backed up with kies so my phone was recognised, and then went into to download mode and let odin work its magic with darkys rom

Kies doesn't work on Ubuntu. Lets face it kies barely works on windows
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Kies does work in XP in Virtualbox in (Linux yippee!) Ubuntu.
I would still like to get to the bottom of this. I will continue with Heimdall in virtualbox/xp (I couldn't get Heimdall to work under Ubuntu &!^!%!!) but will remove and reinstall Kies and see how that pans out. Thanks for the tips!
Don't Move Cabel Once phone in Download mode if odin is still not detecting check that you have installed drivers and remove battry from phone then again go to download mode

Try Odin 1 Click. You'll find it on here somewhere. It wil take you back to stock 2.1 Eclair. Then you can READ ABOUT flashing other ROMs and proceed from there.

im sorry but most of us can't even help you IF we want to The users of windows based PC's are greater in this forums compared to Macs. if there is drivers for mac, are they installed?
Since you only have a Mac, I would suggest installing Windows through Boot-Camp (included in Mac OSX) on a different partition. I read Galaxy S doesn't have drivers support for Mac OSX Leopart or later, not entirely sure if its true though, but I do have a MacBook Pro and had no success in finding a way to connect my phone to it by USB... Good thing I had a regular old Windows PC Desktop.
Then as Jack Man said, use Odin 1-Click found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
to reset your phone completely to factory settings, relatively simple to do as long as you read the instructions on that post. =)
Well since you only have a Mac and hiemidal is not see your phone i think your only option is to find a friend with a PC and give the Odin 1 click a try.
i ask my aunt for her pc,
Windows Vista 32-Bit
Downloaded And Installed The Drivers
Using Odin3 One-Click
I Put My Phone On Download Mode With The 3keyCombo
And The PC Says"USB Device Not Recognized"
Im Just Gettind Pissed And Stressed
It's My Only Phone.
What Can I Do To Fix This?
Also Tried Running Odin As Administrator... And NOthing...

Sir, just in case, did you reboot after installing drivers and BEFORE you tried connecting the device? Also, did you check if Odin detected your device when its connected in Download mode?
yes, and thats what in trying to do, to get odin to detect my phone in download mode...
Ok, is your phone detected by the operating system? If it does, then try using this other Odin thread instead, this one however will restore it to Stock Samsung Galaxy with 2.3 Gingerbread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
Don't have to follow the rest of the instructions to root it just in case, but see if that version of Odin detects your phone.
actually thats the problem... windows vista doesnt recognize my device, either my mac... is there a solution to my phone or not? please help
OMG please help ((
I've Installed Captivate Drivers
Also
Galaxy S General Drivers
But When I Put My Captivate On Download MOde It Just Says
"USB Device Not Recognized"
One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and
Windows does not recognize it.
Are you sure it goes in to Download Mode (little android with a shovel)? Also have u tried different usb ports?
Like the above said, are you sure you are in download mode?
What USB port are you using if ots a desktop computer. There are known issues using front usb, plug into the usb on the back of the tower.
Also, are you sure odin doesnt see it? I know windows doesnt like it, but start odin, put phone in download mode, connect to pc. What does odin show? Any connected devices?

yes, im sure its on download mode and tried all the ports...

[Q] unable to root i9000

Hi...
I'm trying to root my i9000 2.3.6 xxjvu...
I'm using odin and i follow the [HOWTO] but odin stuck on setup connection, for hours...
Is somebody able to help me?
Thank you
which version of Odin are you using? maybe try a different version from the one you are using.
Also make sure KIES is not running & kill any KIES processes.
The 1.85 and the 1.82, i also tried on 1.30, and there is no Kies processus running...
what are you trying to flash?
are you flashing the correct file?
try downloading the file again.
try disabling any antivirus/firewalls
are correct drivers installed?
possibly try a different usb port & usb cable?
I'm trying to root it, with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS
I'll try with another usb cable and port...
Another cable and port don't fix it...
Not sure then.
Usual issues are drivers, usb cable, usb port, kies processes running in background, version of odin.
Have you downloaded cf-root again?
If you can try another pc. If that doesn't work then i'm not sure maybe someone else can help.

Well rooting flashing phone is pretty easy and its easy to find out whats the problem.
Ok when you put in the phone with usb cable and start odin you should see the odin to find your phone.. if it does not its usb driver problem.. I tried to get it working on windows xp and damn its almost impossible to get it working with odin. Using windows 7 it works quite easily. Only once i had to do some driver fighting before odin found my phone..
Just start there and if odin finds your phone it should really work.. You can pm me if I've forgotten this thread and not answering in a day or so. Just tell me whats the problem exacly and what os you are using.
OH AND... if you got a older phone that has not been updated with kies the download mode does not work without the kies update.

waaaaa not recognized

my galaxy tab p1000 not recognized in download mode when im using odin...
can anybody help me iwant to reflash my tab...
Did you try to flash it anyway? Just keep trying. Good idea to be fully charged too.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
boss ill try it a couple times but cant read my device i want to reflash my tab is bricked....uhuhuh
many has done it.
As long as you can go to download mode, you are not bricked.
remember to have it charged for at least 4hrs.
Just connect it to Odin preferably at the same USB port as the one you used before.
Reboot it to download mode while data cable is connected, then try Odin.
Connecting in Download Mode
I had the same problem when i changed laptop. So on my new machine, the PC would not recognize my P1000 in the download mode. I was running win xp.
The problem was that it wasn't able to automatically locate the drivers. No wonder it wasn't. The drivers aren't built in to xp driver cache. So here is what you need to do:
Download Samsun Kies from samsung website. Do a search on google and you'll get to it.
Once downloaded, install Samsung Kies. No need to run it or anything. Once downloaded, plug that tab in download mode to USB of PC, and it will get detected and the drivers will get installed.
I still have KIES installed, but i never used it, i just installed it for the drivers.
Let me know if this helped.

Hi Dude,
Instead of installing Kies on your XP or windonws 7 for only driver, you can install driver using below guide.
Go to Google and search as Galaxy Tab Driver and go...Click Modaco Website & then Download.

Overcome's GB-stock-safe-v5 zip package contains USB drivers too, both 32bit and 64bit.
But the best is of course in linux, just a single line of definition in udev.
same here - SOLVED
I had the same problem (not recognized).. What I did to resolve the problem by:
1. Re-install Samsung USB drivers (got from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981)
2. Set the tab in DL mode and connect to the PC... wait for windows to install drivers.... DONE!
3. Startd Odin_v1.83.. CONNECTED!!! (seen by yellow COM#)
Hope this helps.. HIT THANKS PLS!

[Q] Odin3 v1.3 not recognizing Galaxy S

Hey guys, i've got a really persistent problem, odin isn't recognizing my new galaxy s (i've rooted it)
I've reinstalled the samsung USB drivers a few times now (64-bit) tried different orders of plugging the phone in, e.g. start odin, THEN plug it in, or plug it in then start odin. I've tried it on my old laptop which i used to use to flash back to stock for my vibrant, it doesn't recognize my galaxy s though :/
do any of u guys have any suggestions?

Have you enter download mode?

yeh, oh and it recognizes the phone wen its on normally, but not in download mode
1. Try Odin 1.85
2. Make sure If Kies is installed that it is not running in task manager
3. Search XDA for Samsung Drivers.exe and install then retry
You probe on all ports? On my notebook odin recognize phone only on 1 port of 4 Bu when use heimdall under linux, it's OK on any usb port.
One other trick is to hold 3 buttons for download mode and plug in usb cord to phone before you release 3 button's make sure odin is running first before trying this.
Would advise to Download drivers 64 bit from here [https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...s-x64.shtml&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13223281596262] and reinstall. Also, ensure Kies is not running in the background (Check in Task Manager).
thanks for your suggestions everyone, i'll try all of them and get back to you on how it works
sorry i didnt reply in awhile, to all the readers, i used a different computer for odin and it works
