Ive got my phone into a boot loop state because I messed up when trying to restore a previous backup of CM7 that I had.
Okay I thought, this is not a problem I will just do a clean flash of something via odin with my phone in download mode. This is where the problem lays. Odin can not see my phone when its in download mode and plugged in via USB! I have flash roms via Odin before so know what I'm doing.
I've tried it on 2 windows 7 64bit laptops and different USB ports but both are the same! could this be a driver issue? I have Kies installed on both and have manually tried installing the driver too.
Other things to note is that I can't get into recovery mode but no problem getting into download. Also when I plug the phone into charge it doesnt come up with the battery symbol but only the circle of rectangles like it is loading the battery symbol which never appears.
Anyone know what is going on?
Sorry for bad english.
I had problem like yours - pc don't recognized my phone (odin too) and shows only battery charge. i tried on 3 different pc's, installed kies, pc studio, drv, tried 2 differnt cables.
And the problem was... Cables

If you are CM7, you may need Nexus S Drivers.
See this link

Download and extract to folder.
When phone connected, locate it in your computers devive manager and update driver and point to your folder where you extracted for installation.
Thanks spaikas!
I guess I will have to go out and buy a new cable to try that. One thing though is that even when I plug it into the mains power adaptor I still get the circle of rectangles as well as when its plugged into my PC (with the supposedly defective cable). So does this suggest that the circle of rectangles is not caused by a bad cable? but still my cable being bad could be a culprit for odin not seeing it.

Thanks. I have downloaded and extracted the driver. But I can't find my phone in device manager. Does the phone have to be in download mode for windows to be able to see it. Do you know roughly what it would be called?

No, actually enable USB debugging and go into CWM recovery and connect, mine was showing as Samsung Galalxy S or Android phone. Check in USB devices as well.

I can't get into CWM! Is there no way to install the Nexus S driver without having the phone plugged in because otherwise I have no idea what I'm going to do....
It was my cable! Sorry for wasting your time guys but it was just a very unlucky coincidence that my cable must of broke at the same time that I messed up my phone and needed to do a odin flash! Anyway managed to get my hands on another cable and now odin can see my phone!
) congratulations!
i was so happy too, when i pluged 3rd cable, and found it good

I have a Bell SGS. I updated it once from 2.1 to 2.2...now I'd like to update to 2.3.
My computer/Kies will NOT see my phone. I've done some searching, but I literally have no idea what I'm doing. I've done a factory reset on my phone hoping that would help...it didn't. I've re-installed Kies...no dice. Tried re-installing the drivers via Kies...nothing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Someone willing to help me step by step via e-mail would be even better.
60+ views and not a single suggestion?
I don't understand why my PC can't see my phone AT ALL.
Honestly, your best bet is to use Odin and flash the Bell UGKG3 (2.3.3) build.
You can download Odin and the Bell UGKG3 build here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881&page=1
Search for i9000m (that's what the Bell SGS is) and you'll find the UGKG3 download.
Instructions for using Odin are also on that same page.
Last time my phone was not recognized it was a broken USB cable
If your update from 2.1 to 2.2 was an unofficial update, keis will not see the phone again, unless you flash back to the official 2.1.
Once you have done that, Keis should then recognise your phone and offer you the latest Bell update.
Hope that this helps.

Okay, I downloaded Odin 1.85. I found and downloaded the KG3 files, then extracted them. I got Odin all setup, put my phone in to download mode, connected it to the PC...Odin never detects the device.

After doing the above, I tried a different USB cable in a different port.
Any other suggestions guys?
First, test to make sure the usb cable works, ie, see if you can connect in mass storage mode.
Secondly, reinstall kies so that the usb drivers are installed properly.

As per my first post, I can NOT get my PC to see my phone.
I just tried plugging it in to another computer here at work. I'm using TW launcher, USB Setting = Ask on Connection...no dice. When I plugged in the cable, I chose mass storage, and the MTP starts...it says that it's connected to the computer...but the computer doesn't see it. Both computers are running XP.
first make sure that you have USB DEBUGING in settings/applications/development
if this will not help
-unplug phone from usb
-uninstall kies, reboot pc
-REDOWNLOAD kies and install it
-once again now make sure you do not have USB DEBUGING ticked in settings/applications/development
-make sure you have your pc setup to download drivers if neded from windows update servers
-connect phone to pc and let it install all divers it will ask for
-make sure your phone is setup to have "Samsung Kies" in settings/comunication/usb settings
-disconnect phone
-open kies and let it update (sometimes downloaded from www version of kies aint latest)
-you can and maybe should download usb drivers for samsung phones from this thread and install them
[Driver] [31.10.2011] SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones +LATEST UPDATED VERSION+
when everything is setted up, instlled, up to date and kies is loaded
connect your phone
and now saay what is exaactly happening after you followed those points exaact and you connect phone

I've done most of this a few times. The bolded section I'm not sure how to check. I've downloaded the drivers a couple times too...but am not sure I'm installing them 100% correctly.
is there any sound from PHONE when connecting usb?
No, but I have my phone set to silent...ALWAYS. It DOES vibrate though to indicate it is plugged in.
is there any sound from PC when connecting usb?
No.
what is happening on statusbat when you connect usb?
I assume you mean the battery status indicator in the notification bar? It shows that the battery is charging.
what is happening at kies window when you connect the phone?
Nothing...literally.
what is happening at phone display when you connect the phone?
Because I have "USB Setting" set to "Ask On Connection," a menu pops up with three options: Samsung Kies; Media Player; Mass Storage. None of the options seem to do anything. Even with USB set to "Samsung Kies," nothing happens.

Sometimes my computer also fails to recognize the phone. What i do is restart the computer/restart the phone/try again later.
Make sure your Kies is updated.
Try on another computer.
Last option: Give it to Samsung Service Center. They will mostly do it for free or for a very minimal fee.

just ignore the portions for ICS
Thanks for the suggestion. I've downloaded all the files. I've also done a factory reset as well as formatted the internal memory card. As far as I can tell, my phone is as close to stock as it possible could be.
I can NOT connect my phone to ANY computer. I've tried four different computers now. Tried installing the USB drivers on one of them...nothing.
I'm starting to think that I have a hardware issue. The phone recognizes that it's connected to a PC though...so I'm not 100% convinced.
Okay...so there has been a new development.
I grabbed another phone (Samsung I997R), and tried it using the same cable and same USB port, and it recognized the phone instantly. Was able to enable Mass Storage and see everything on the phone.
So, that being said, does anyone know why my I9000M won't be seen?
You have already tried everything you could, so new just goto the Samsung Service Center and ask them what the problem is.

Yeah, I'll have to do that I think.
I tried plugging it in to a laptop running Linux last night...still no dice. My buddies SGS2 was recognized immediately.
I toured over to the Bell store last night for ****s and giggles, and the Samsung rep happened to be there. Dude didn't really know anything though...said he's only been on the job for a couple months. Plugged it in to the PC at the store...same deal.
I assume your phone charges OK when using the wall wart or plugged into a PC?
Yup...charges perfectly fine. The phone even recognizes when it's hooked to a computer (launches whichever USB mode is selected). It's just NOT being seen by any computer I plug it in to...but other phones are recognized using the exact same equipment (i.e. USB cable, computer, port, etc. are all the same).
Is it rooted? A guy i work with said kies wouldn't recognize it after rooting his.
Hello xda users,
I need HELP !
I have a galaxy tab P1000
currently froyo 2.2
wanted to upgrade to GB
Tried the Odin way from another link on this site (MANUAL updation for galaxy tab(p1000) into 2.3.3 gingerbread ), it failed and the Tab got soft bricked,
somehow managed to unbrick it, now its back to its original fw, but it keeps restarting in a loop until i switchd the damn thing off completely
I have tried to go in download mode to flash but odin doesnt recognise it , tried differnt computers too, no use.
I have gone in recovery mode, hard reset, wipe cache , still when i switch it on, it goes in a reboot loop.
tried to use heimdall. cant get sucess as i might not understand how to use it properly
Please help.
Sincere thanks to you if you can help me get my tab up and running., if not in GB atleast back in froyo.
(PS- i im not worried about my data , and i have not backed up the rom etc before doing any of these)
Try to reinstall or install a usb driver from samsung
tried that before , didnt work
anyway now i managed to get it detected on ODIN and flashed it to GB
Libon
Yeah, happened to me too, nearly had a sh*t my pants when Odin didn't recognise my Tab.
I would recommend -
charge the Tab fully using wall adapter (4 hrs+)
plug it in with Odin open and using USB cable
don't expect Odin to recognise the Tab immediately
check back after 5 mins or so (I don't know, does Odin refresh?)
I was able to restore my Tab from the PC - ! - Marvin screen.
I don't want to go back there again though!
yea dude.. same here
i kept it on charge for a couple of hours and then tried.. bam it conencts..

My Galaxy tab also doesn't connect to usb after cache wiped humber os flash
Thanks in advance guys!..
Earlier I was using Cyanogen mode 10 Custom ROM but has few issues like recognize SD card.
later I flashed to Humber OS caused real problem.
It was clock work recovery installed but my tab tab boots stays on screen humber OS.
It goes to recovery mode, and also to some unknown recovery mode.
Either the way not recognized by computer. I tried all options like heimtal an Odin. No help.
Friends any help, would be highly appreciated.
BUMP
Any solution to this given the fact that usb drivers have been installed?
Are you sure it is recognised by the computer before trying Odin or Heimdall?
I seen this in a post:

4 Reasons Why Odin is Not Detecting Your Android Device:
Reason 1: No drivers installed for your phone
Most of the time Odin is not able to detect your phone, simply because you haven’t installed the drivers for your phone. Normally windows would automatically download the respective drivers for your phone from the internet and install it. But in case it isn’t able to do so, you need to download the drivers from your phone manufacturer’s website.
Reason 2: Inferior quality or damaged USB cable
Odin is very sensitive to low quality or damaged USB cables, which is a major reason why odin will detect your android phone in file transfer mode but fail to detect it in download mode. You might have a genuine USB cable that came with your Android phone but with time its quality will depreciate, which is why you might have to get a new USB cable.
Reason 3: Odin is corrupted
This happened once with a reader on my blog, we tried everything to solve his problem, but in the end using a different version of Odin worked out for him.
Reason 4: USB port is defective
Defective USB ports can also be a reason for Odin not detecting your Android phone. This was a problem faced by one of my readers and plugging the USB cable in another USB port worked out for him.
#######################################################################
and I need install cwm recovery on a twrp recovery and just do that with this app:
ROM Manager
if you want do same job; you can download it from google play easily!
and install recovery,rom or restore backup with it.

reason 1: my phone is samsung and it's detected by ODIN, kies and I transfer files from and to my computer without problems. also tried reinstalling just in case but nothing, so I guess this is not the answer for my problem
reason 2: tried with original cable, but as I didn't use the tablet for a long time I also thought it could be the cable, so I asked a friend of mine if he could lend me one cable, but that didn't work. pity. :/
reason 3: tried 3 different versions of ODIN, and in every version my phone (mentioned above) is detected. shame. :S
reason 4: tried the 3 different USB ports in my laptop. two 2.0 USB ports and one 3.0 USB port, so again I doubt this is the reason of my problem.
extra reason: ~~~ maybe it's the OS version ~~~ // this laptop came with windows 8 preinstalled. nothing. then, I updated to win 8.1. again nothing. now I'm running windows 10 and the same, nothing is detected neither by ODIN nor the computer. also tried in 4 different computers running win xp, win 7 and other with win 8.1.
btw, thank you anyway for your apportation; this may help other people, but unfortunately, it's not my case, so can anybody else join me to think about a new reason and a way to solve it? thank you very much :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have continued researching and found a software. it didn't work for me, but maybe it works for other people.
-first, you have to make sure you have java installed on your computer.
-second, extract the oneclick.rar file on an easy-access directory.
-third, put your tab on download mode (while charging icon when tab is turned off, press power + volume down until a yellow triangle appears).
-fourth, click start unsoft-brick and let the magic begin! 8)
note: if a warning error pops up, trust the software and click on resolution center and follow the instructions of one of the three "alternative ways".

i did the same thing with my tab exactly like yours plzzzz help me recover it
I have a USB BRICK and wishing that someone could help me fix it
[STORY]
My phone was working perfectly until a few days ago when I noticed that USB connection to PC stopped working. I was running imilkas CM9 v2. USB used to work perfectly and then randomly, it just stopped working, I don't have a clue what caused it because I did not flash anything on the phone.
When I connect my Phone to the Computer via USB cable, my phone start charging and nothing else happens. My computer does not even show that I connected a USB device.
I've tried 3 other computers with the drivers and the same issue (1 comp with xp and the others with win 7). Also, not to mention, I've tried multiple USB cables, including the original. I've tried USB Debugging on and off, doesn't make a difference.
I've tried ADB and it does not recognize the device either.
In CWM when I mount USB storage, it does not work.
In download mode, when I plug in the cable, nothing happens, odin does not detect any connection.
USB connection to the computer is Dead and it does nothing but charge my phone. I've searched this issue and I believe its called a USB BRICK
[THINGS I'VE TRIED THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE]
1. Factory Reset.
2. Used Mobile Odin, reverted to my Phone's Stock GB ROM (KK2). On stock GB, I tried Kies Air and that worked fine, but USB connection had the same issue. Also tried Stock ICS via Mobile Odin
3. Formatted the Internal Storage
4. Removed the SIM Card and Micro SD card, still no luck.
5. re-installed CWM manually (without pc)
6. Tried various different roms in the development section
7. Called Samsung... They said they wont service my phone because I'm located in Canada and I have the International Note. They told me I'd have to take it to the country I bought it from.
8. Replaced the micro USB hardware component inside the phone (bought it from ebay)
9. Tried a Jig to see if it recognizes that and it booted me into download mode but doesn't recognize the USB connection to PC.
I've been struggling with this issue for the past 2 months and have gotten sick of this issue.:crying: I've tried all that was possible based on my knowledge and now I need some serious help. I've posted this issue in the Q&A before and about 3 people responded with suggestions that I had already mentioned in thread. I believe this issue might be caused by a file that has gotten corrupted on the phone because i've even replaced the hardware (usb port) and it didn't change anything. If anyone can offer any help/suggestions that would be great. Sorry for making this such a long post but I really need some help and wanted to give as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance.
I had that same problem before, it's really frustrating having tried so many stuff before finally I gave up and went to service center to replace the usb hardware module, which solves the problem. When I asked them why it happened and how to prevent that same thing to happen again, they didn't answer.

I am well versed in replacing hardware components myself. The usb module I bought from ebay does exactly the same thing as the original one. It too charges but does not recognize PC connectivity which means it wasnt the usb module which was defective, its something else!
I would love to send it in for repair, but Samsung WON'T service my phone because I live in Canada and they do not sell the international Note here. When I called them they told me to take it to where I bought it from (which was in UAE). Since I am not going there and have no plans to go there, I am stuck with a phone that can't be warrantied!
Any one know how to fix this issue?
Maybe what you need is just to replace the usb cable... Who knows? (trying-to-help mode).

Try another set of driver from Samsung.
The set in the file from link below works perfectly for me:

If it does not work then, maybe, try to change rom. Load a custom rom.zip to external sdcard and flash using CWM.

Ok here is the solution. It worked for me. Hope it helps someone
1. download latest version of kies for PC
2. uninstall previous kies (if any) and install new one.
3. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. (Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.)
4. Plug the USB cable.

Hmm it looks like your issue was different.. at least you were getting some sort of message that you connected your phone. When I connect it to the computer, its as if nothing happened. I've even tried linux and its just that the phone isnt recognizing its connected to a computer, it thinks its connected to a charger.
I tried your suggested solution, still no avail!

if you have CWM installed, just boot into CWM Recovry >
advance > wipe battery status
turn off the phone, remove battery for 3 mins and than reboot normally. Let us know, if it works.

I faced a similar problem a few days ago. Here's what I did :
Try cleaning micro usb port by rubbing alcohol using paper strips. They should be thin enough so that you can clean both top and bottom part of the port.Then let it dry under the sun or by itself.Make sure that you don't blow any air into the port else condensation may occur.
By the way, is it monsoon season there in Canada ?

I have a USB BRICK and wishing that someone could help me fix it
[STORY]
My phone was working perfectly until a few days ago when I noticed that USB connection to PC stopped working. I was running imilkas CM9 v2. USB used to work perfectly and then randomly, it just stopped working, I don't have a clue what caused it because I did not flash anything on the phone.
When I connect my Phone to the Computer via USB cable, my phone start charging and nothing else happens. My computer does not even show that I connected a USB device.
I've tried 3 other computers with the drivers and the same issue (1 comp with xp and the others with win 7). Also, not to mention, I've tried multiple USB cables, including the original. I've tried USB Debugging on and off, doesn't make a difference.
I've tried ADB and it does not recognize the device either.
In CWM when I mount USB storage, it does not work.
In download mode, when I plug in the cable, nothing happens, odin does not detect any connection.
USB connection to the computer is Dead and it does nothing but charge my phone. I've searched this issue and I believe its called a USB BRICK

Almost same situation here from the highlighted above. when I plug my charger in the usb it just charge the phone and PC cannot detect it. Also, it only charge the phone when i reboot it. If I unplug the charger while the phone is on, and plug the charger back, it will not charge. However, when I insert the usb cable in my phone, there is a notification in my phone which says "usb connector connected" but the PC cannot detect my phone for mass storage, as well as for Kies and Odin.
My usb port was already replaced by Samsung but same problem still occurs. It could be a software/configuration related issue. Or could it be a usb brick? Pls help.
have you tried to put the phone in download mode and checked if odin is able to detect the phone.. what rom are you on.. have you tried to flash a stock rom ?
I have the same problem ... :crying:

Hello guys,
I think the charging port of my Note 9 is a little bit damaged, because I have tried multiple pc's and multiple cables and the phone will only charge and is not being recognized as a device on my pc's.
I would like to flash TWRP on my device to flash a custom rom after... But the official TWRP app in the Google Play Store is not showing an TWRP image for the Note 9 to flash.
Is there a possibility to get TWRP and eventually a custom rom on my device, withouth using a PC?
Any help would be appreciated!

no.
u cant use a an app that would theoretically need root to accomplish flashing a ccustom recovery on a non rooted phone.
regardless, u need Odin or heimdall or any app that can access the device via usb. search and read.
( u need samsung android usb drivers on the computer. )
Thank you for your reply.
I have used Odin a lot before for different phones. I've installed the correct drivers onto my pc's and used different kinds of cables to check if that was the problem, but the phone only goes into charging mode, when connected to a pc. I have read that a buggy charging port can actually cause that problem.
I think I do not need root to flash a custom rom. Flashing a custom recovery would be enough, I think? Correct me if I'm wrong. There is a mobile version of TWRP (the app) that could actually flash TWRP on a phone via the app. But the problem is that the TWRP app doesn't support the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
I'm trying to figure out if there is another way to flash a custom rom onto my phone. But I need a custom recovery for that...

im saying that ud need root if the twrp app could flash roms within android. which implies ud have gone through the rooting process which has to flash twrp. plus i think the twrp app is just a downloader more than anything else.
anyways can you get to dl mode?
put phone off , hold bixby and vol down and while holding down the 2 buttons plug the cable from the computer
phone should go to dl mode

Yes, I can get into the download mode without any problems. But connecting the phone to a pc only charges the phone and I can not get any other option. I even tried to press the notification in the statusbar where it displays that the phone is charging (connected to the computer). But there are no other options than charging unfortunatelly..

in dl mode does Odin see a com port?
also maybe there is just alot of pocket lint in the back if the port. scrape it out with a very small needle or something.

Thanks. Odin doesn't see a com port. I've also cleaned the port and there is no pocket lint in it.

if you were rooted, something like chain fire's flashfire might have worked...

To rule out the charging port, grab the OTG USB adapter that came with the phone and see if you can get a flashdrive to show up in the phone.if you can't, the it's for sure the charging port .

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried it. It does recognize that there is a device connected. But it only let's it charge the USB and doesn't show up in the file manager. It definitely must be the charging port. Unfortunately...

There are no dumb questions I have tried to put it into file transfer mode, but the option isn't available when pressing the notification in de statusbar. It only shows that the phone is charging and the phone goes to the battery settings when pressing the notification.
Also, I've checked in developer settings, and I set the USB configuration to standard: File transfer.

download mode( vol down +Bixby and insert usb from pc) overrides whatever "mode" the android software system is configured to.
