Odin not recognizing phone

Hi guys.My mini is giving me a hard time.
Problem description:
-windows 7 x86
-installed kies,all drivers installed (checked the tray bar everytime)
-odin won't recognize my phone and I can only boot in download mode or stock recovery.
I was thinking maybe I can install cwm from stock recovery but I can't find anything.
Help greatly appreciated.

you can install cwm from stock recovery just make sure you are on gb
go to the stickied thread by me and then go to recovery section you will get it

The one by Tj_style ?
I'm asking this because the other two seem to require Odin.

The one by squadzone is flashable with stock recovery..

Same guy here.That's my friends's account.
I unsuccessfully installed cwm by squadzone.
When I reboot the phone it goes into stock recovery.

[Q] Loop in recovery mode

When im in recovery mode it keeps looping or restarting as i press up down or anything.
Im following this post. I flashed a stock rom then installed CWM to come to this problem. I have the international note.
Id be nice for any troubleshooting or tips for this issue

how about download mode? if you could, flash a stock gb rom via pc odin and start over.

Wouldnt that bring me back to where i was before?
It only happens after i instal CWM so perhaps im using an outdated kernal for CWM?

more like using an outdated CWM. Kernel shouldnt affect it.
You could just flash a kernel in ODIN, Something like speedmod, It will root and give working CWM, aswell as some cool kernel tweaks.
Its easier than flashing a whole firmware package

Wont flashing via odin give me the triangle?
Also how would i go around using it for this ROM?
It tells me to use abyss to do a full wipe...

Hey man ! How did you get on ? All sorted now i hope ?

When you install CWM from dr.ketans link, I think that you have touch CWM, try using your fingers not hardware keys (vol up/down).

Thanks its working now i think . besides maps and K air not updating thank you everyone!

[Q] phone won't boot to recovery, can't flash custom ROMs

Hi,
I can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode, I push the power button and -vol but all that happens is that the phone just does a regular boot. I recently went from CM7 back to one of lg's stock ICS roms using smartflash (am now on android version 4.0.3, kernel; 2.6.39.4). But I now want to go back to CM or another custom ROM due to a lot of missing apps in play store.
what I have tried;
- Flash CWM using the LG-P990 AIO-toolkit
Result; no difference
- Reeboot to recovery from ROM manager (had to install ROM manager from downloaded .apk file which didn't recognize my device properly)
Result; Phone freezes on LG-logo screen
- Reeboot using Reeboot ap for optimus 2x from play store
Result; couldn't use app since it did not recognice my device.
I think maybe the recovery image have been removed, is there a way of flashing it? Optionally, is it possible to flash roms using my computer?
The bottom line is that I cannot install any updated apps since play store doesn't recognize my device properly (so it seems). I am stuck on an old version of the facebook ap, can't find Endomondo, wimp, snapchat, ROM manager etc. So if anyone have an idea on how I can get play store to recognize my phone I think wont need to flash a custom ROM. Maybe I installed the wrong version from LG?
Please help, thanks!

[Q] [Help] Phone can only boot into CWM Recovery and Download mode.No normal boot

Hi XDAs,
Today, i have encountered a problem on my Samsung Galaxy mini II (GT-s6500D)
[Few weeks ago] When i rooted my phone using Poot and installed Superuser, everything was fine.. Then, i downloaded CWM and after it, my phone wouldn't boot into CWM Recovery even with the usual recovery button pressing. It could only boot into download / normal booting.. Also, it cant even boot into recovery mode. it will just vibrate and reboot.
Now [few weeks later after rooting] i have a new problem with my phone.. ALL of my data cables wouldn't connect/ charge my S6500D when it is connected to my laptop/ Yoobao's wall charger. But but but, it seemed to be able to charge when i connected it to my authentic samsung wall charger..
The problem seemed to happen like just out of sudden .. no apps were installed before the problem happened..
Ok, so then, i remembered that early this afternoon i was asked by my phone to update software.. It was on gb 2.3.6 .. so, i thought the cable error could be due to some internal driver fault (?)
Edit : It now boots into CWM recovery even if i try to boot normally and didn't press the recovery buttons . It will also auto boot into CWM recovery if i reboot through the CWM recovery menu.. This new problem happens when my phone reboots after "updating software". Other than that, my phone can also boot into download mode (both through Jig and button pressing). BUT, odin will be unable to detect my phone..
Is there any piece of advice you guys could tell me or where i can start with? i hope that there could be a solution..
Thanks alot in advanced!
Help please

You should have the only avaible Odin version (CWM 6.0.3.3).
Actually, it is bugged and it was solved in CWM 6.0.4.5.
You've just to install the newer CWM as you'd install CM10.x/11.
In the new CWM, you won't have any reboot problem
Hope that will help

[Q] S3 I9305 won't boot in custom recovery

Hi Guys,
I have s3 GT-I9305, android version 4.1.2, baseband version I9305XXBLL5. Australian model for Optus.
I successfully rooted and installed Philz_Touch_6.19.3 _ After that I could do Nandroid online backup and confirm it is rooted.
When I tried to flash custom ROM today - I found I can't boot in CWM/Philz recovery mode. Then I tried to different version of Philz/CWM and TWRP but none worked. It keeps booting in stock recovery mode- I get message as shown in attached image.
PS: I have USB diagnosis checked but haven't unlocked boot loader?

to be specific: my phone works fine - boots fine - It is just I want to load custom rom and it won't go to custom recovery and I can't load custom ROM.
Thanks.

HELP!
can anyone please help me out here!
I kept searching and found some solution but none worked.
I used triangle away. - didn't work
Installed custom recovery without checking auto reset and started after pulling battery out. - didn't work
It still boot in odin mode and I can't go to custom recovery

i have the same problem too when i got my phone flashed 3rd recovery last year,
the stock recovery can automaticly restore itself after reboot~
but i found the solution here in xda,just flash a zip to unlock the self-protection of the stock recovery~
i will tell you the link and the attachment several hours later after my work,if you cannt wait, you can search it here,maybe you can find it yourself.

I had a quick search but couldn't find it. Will greatly appreciate if you can post link.
Thanks

even after you flash a custom recovery...your phone will automatically flash stock recovery every time it reboots...so that's why you will get into stock even if you flash CWM/TWRP or what you like.....
here is the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cf-root-cwm-recovery-ported-supersu-t1914394
read at the end of the first post....WORKAROUND......
i used myself and worked....

the guy offered the post which included the solution.
try to flash the "Remove-boot-recovery.p.zip",it will work..
good luck
:fingers-crossed:

Done
Thanks guys.
Above solution didn't work for me but I got it working through rom manager App. I reboot to recovery through ROM Manager and it worked.
How ever After I installed Pacman rom, I couldn't use App as there were no Gapps and wouldn't boot to recovery. The workaround here was to press home, volume up and lock button simultaneously and release it after few second and it will go to custom recovery.
In the end, I am on Pacman Nightly 06/04/2014 with Philz touch recovery.
