[Q] So I got my jig and got into download

So I got my jig and got into download... Now what. When I connect to AIO it says I need to enable usb, really how! Odin - start... Nothing. Odin - Master Clear... Nothing

Start odin first, then connect your phone. If nothing happens, try connecting it to a different usb port (one on the motherboard, at the back of your computer). If still nothing happens, chances are you don't have the proper drivers installed.

ok slow down, first off with AIO you DONT need download mode, you use it with your phone turned on normally and USB DEBUGGING on. the instructions are in AIO. read instructions, thats what they are there for.
also you dont need a jig unless the phone is bricked, there is the button method AND AIO uses ADB commands to AUTOMATICALLY put your phone into donwload when needed. and its only needed when using ODIN, some people need to open odin first, some not, but odin is the only time you use download mode.

Wish this were the case. I've been using this LAPTOP for several months. Just flashed a new rom to my sons Cappy. No this systems all go, its my Cappy that's no show

When you plug the phone in and download mode starts, does the COM show up on Odin? If it does, you're good to go otherwise you need to get different drivers or maybe try using a different USB port or restart the laptop.

Wild.. wonder if you just have a bad cable or failing usb port or something..

I had this happened last night. Just finally worked about about 5 or more times. Just took some patience and constantly trying multiple ways with different ports. Although I have never had this problem before. Usually only took a maximum 2 tries.

[Q] Another day another brick or hope not, please help.

Hello,
I know there's a lot of brick topics and I looked at them and couldn't find any help. To sumarize. Flashed Dary 10.2 EE and after having freezes and what not went and restored my back up. It restored but boots only to Talon splash screen as that happens to be kernel I was on before Darky. Funny thing is I cannot boot to recovery but I can to download mode. So I set up to flash new firmware with odin and click repartition, that's an obvious solution. The problem is that the phone is not recognized in download mode. But it is recognised when it's on the splash screen. I unplug it put to download mode plug it back in and nada, tried reinstalling drivers kies and what not. Nada. And one more think when off and I plug it, it looks like it is not charging, there's just all gray battery symbol on screen and that's it.
I'd appreciate it if you guys have any suggestions or solutions.
Thanks

hmmm weird.
Have you tried a different USB port ? preferably direct into motherboard ?
Also, what version of odin are you using ? there are several versions, perhaps you could try a newer version and see if that makes a difference ?

it simply doesn't show up in device management of the computer when in download mode and it needs to for odin to recognise it regardless of version. Did try different usb port and still nada. Thanks

First, thing try,try try again ..
If it doesn't work, maybe the issue is with the microUSB port, try cleaning it using cloth dipped in spirit. [had a similar issue , where my phone would charge, when connected via usb, but wouldn't get detected. got solved using this ]
Hope it helps..

[Q] Big problems with my Galaxy....Help needed!!

Since yesterday my Galaxy S got stuck. It doesnt start anymore.
What happened?
I flashed my rom to the newest ICS. Everything went well and I used it a couple of days. Yesterdaymorning I did wiped the battery stats and cleared the Davik cache. I rebooted and it got stuck in the bootscreen.
I tried to got in recoverymodus but that was not possible. Bootscreen was all I saw.
Then I tried the downloadme. That is working BUT odin did not see my phone and KIES did also not recognize it. I have the right drivers. When my phone was working it was also not recognized because I am afraid the USB port is not good anymore.
Does anyone have tips?

can you go to recovery?

unfortunately not.
if i do the 3button trick the sreens stays on the bootscreen.

Change your drivers to the Nexus drivers in OP of TH ICS thread and try a different USB port.
Once in odin flash the initial CM7 kernel without reboot then go into recovery and reflash CM9.

installed nexusdrivers.
still nothing happens.
any other suggestions?
thx for the help!!!

Different USB port?

tried all 4 and another laptop
also used different cables.
almost start crying

-prereq-
install samsung drivers for your device and windows install type (x32/x64). It's quite important that you install 64 bit drivers on a 64 bit box and not 32, because they are ****ty and work 7/10 times used.
1. be sure to use the same port.
2. be sure to use ONLY the original cable that came with your phone
3. Make sure your phone is able to enter download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
if it does, it should install your drivers without issue about then.
4. If you can't use odin to restore your pda/csc/modem, then use heimdall. If that fails, you need to commandprompt heimdall into flashing with 512.pit + required files (refer for help to the heimdall readme included in their install) file after unpacking pda,modem,csc into the heimdall commandline exe.
If 4 does not work you need to unbrick it via 1clickbrick. It's a jar file you donwnload, dblclick and use.

thx for trying to help me. but I am afraid my USB port (mini) on my galaxy is not working. Tried 4 computers, several drivers but stil no connection possible.
Any other suggestions?

Nope..... I am afraid I lost my Galaxy...... :-(

Had the same problem on Windows machines - for some reason two of my Windows powered computers stopped recognizing my phone. Tried different drivers for no effect, so I gave up and tried it on linux and successfully flashed new kernel using heimdall.
I don't know if this is a legitimate solution because it's like going around the problem instead of solving it, but if everything else fails, try different operating systems.

try charging it..does it charge?
if it doesnt then go in a service and ask them to take a look at it.they will do that for a pack of cigarettes in their extra time.if its fixable and cheap(dont think of replacing the entire motherboard...sell this one for parts and buy another one, or find one with broken display and take em both to a service and tell them to replace the screen from your phone to the other)

well happened to me and i used another pc....
use a card reader for data transfer...
else try reinstalling usb driver....or a factory reset to phone(backup ur data by titanium pro

CWM -> Mounts -> Mount SD Card
if that doesn't work then reinstall your drivers, try installing Kies, it has every driver that is needed.

i agree with others it my be drivers!
Re-install drivers (re-install kies)
Try again
Try other computer same happened to me!
in my gf laptop my ace is not recognized or is but only sometimes, and in mine is always!
Try also different cable!
Good Luck

try to type in dialer *#1234#
you must have 3 lines
pda, phone and csc if csc is missing so kies wont recognize your phone and you have to put any csc files from any rom to your system folder and it will work =)

maybe there is a problem with ur ace hardware or pc drivers because i was like that too,but i use a little tilt and now it works for me

there someting very wrong with my phone i think. by the way my phone is still in root mode, must i unrooted?

I just wanna share my experience. Once i had this type of problem but when i removed my external hard disk it worked again. If u have connected any this type hardware like printer or something disconnect that.

Yeah I had the same prob once, all the juice was going to other devices and wasn't letting the phone be detected, so +1 for that idea.

thats the problem..when i plug my phone in usb nothing happend but charging. even ubs tethering can i not select on the phone and when i put the phone in download mod he doen't react.

have you tried to fiddle with the USB debugging? I had a similar problem once. I kept on plugging it in and changing the USB debugging in the settings until it worked. Annoying but helped.

[i9000b] BSOD - Phone ! Computer Screen

I had Android 4.0.3 (IceCream Sandwich) on my Galaxy S GT-I9000B (I did install it through Odin, nothing went wrong), but is was laggish (too much for it to handle, I think) and after a few months, I decided to roll it back to 2.3.3 (Gingerbread).
I started the process to install the firmware through Odin3 v1.85 - the file I download (from sammobile.com/firmware, had only one file that I used on the PDA space.
Odin recognized my phone and I started to install it, but after a while my phone was stuck on the downloading screen (2 hours of installation, I tought that something went wrong).
I then turned my phone off to try and install again, but when I turned it on, there were a Phone - exclamation mark - Computer Symbol.
I can get it to dowlonad mode (Volume Down+Home+Power), but when I plug it to the pc, it says "unknown device" and it can't find drivers for it.
I think I have the latest drivers from Samsung (I had from Kies and I re-downloaded a file somewhere from this forum named SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1_5_6_0.exe).
It appears that since windows can't install the drivers, Odin doesn't recognize the device - it was recognizing it before, when I was installing the firmware.
Now I'm stuck - I tried anything I saw in this forum and in other places - I did even pray for a miracle, but it didn't work
I know that there must be a way, but I don't know how.
Before I forget, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

If you can get it in download mode everything should be fine, I've had a problem like this, my pc couldn't see the phone in download no matter what. Try to use another USB port, better another PC. Also I've heard that x64 doesn't get along well with Odin. If possible you can try Linux and Heimdall, after all Android is Linux too.

Ok, k4Z3666, has given you a starting point...the phone is still in download mode but without a booting ROM, so its OK, the problem is your PC, USB cable or USB port. If you want to be quick about it, just try on a lap top..if not a simple Reboot of PC ( after removing power cord) and Phone (after a battery Pull), and a switch to a different USB port at the back of PC can solve this for some...for other solutions try these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 anything else you may need can be found on My Android collections., link below

I tried other USB Ports and also rebooting. It was working just fine - it seems like a driver problem to me.
My notebook is dead, but I'll try using someone else computer.
Does Odin runs in Windows XP? I might try it in my virtual box - I doubt that it will work, but it is the best thing I have to do untill tomorrow.

I got it working in my mother's notebook - should I try something different? I only have the PDA, should I try a PIT?
I don't know what those do, but I read somewhere that PIT is used to recover bricked phones.
EDIT: I installed only the PDA, it worked fine on the 2nd time (first time, it got stuck but I could make it work changing the usb port and cable).
Now it is on loop - it repeats the samsung logo over and over again. Any ideas now?

Yep if u want to back to stock u need pit file because ICS use different system file
Why u don't like ICS ? Its way better and faster than sammy ROM even its more stable , I think u should try it again with devil kernel with oc to 1.2 it will fly u can add some live oc which will give more fluidity

ICS wasn't faster here - it was laggish and always crashed some common apps (gallery, music player). I believe that the firmware wasn't completely "done" as it was being adapted from another version (my phone is brazilian) and some functionalities that it has (i.e. digital TV) wasn't available.
What I done to correct the boot was simple (I found a tutorial in a brazilian site, so it had all the roms that I needed).
1) Used a PIT and a stock rom to get it back to factory version;
2) Upgraded to Froyo (original) - That was kind of a mistake, the tutorial said to do it because then KIES would update it automatically to Gingerbread. The phone was fully functional, but KIES said that it couldn't update it (it recognized the phone and everything).
The tutorial stoped there, but since I had the ROM, I used Odin to install Gingerbread (the one that was looping) and it was done.
Now I need to remember how to root it because there are some dumb apps who can't get away (i.e. Orkut app, some demo games).
Thank you all for the help!

From recovery you can always try to flash another kernel, that would probably resolve things too. Anyways the problem's solved, glad to help
