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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946&page=879
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 two windows 7 pcs that both recognized my replacement I897UCKB2 phone that I got a little over a week ago. I installed Kies on one of them to upgrade my wife's Cappy to UCKB1. I connected my phone and saw an error that it wasn't recognized. I have uninstalled KIES, the drivers, rebooted, cleaned out Samsung registry entries, rebooted (many times), tried different ports (including on the back), etc - no dice. I tried the other pc which hasn't had any changes and that doesn't recognize it either.
I know the cable is good because my wife's UCKB2 (was replaced as well) is seen no problem using the same cable and computer.
I have tried with my phone in debug and not - mass storage, KIES, ask on connection - etc. I did previously root the phone with SuperOneClick on this build. I was about to flash a custom ROM tonight after waiting a bit but now I can't get any computer to see it although the phone does start charging. I haven't yet tried linux and heimdall but that is about the only thing I can think of at this point.
I started wondering if Kies somehow caused a problem on the phone - maybe because it was rooted? I tried restoring CWM since I have Titanium backup working and busybox, etc. In CWM I tried "reboot into recovery" and then I see the original 3e recovery. I tried "reinstall packages" and it fails the signature verification. I have flashed ROMs many times in the past and have never been "stuck" like this... Any ideas?
I would try flashing the original stock eclair, there is an odin one click around that will do it... "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe". Then try kies mini.

Thanks but that is the ODIN I have always used in the past. It doesn't even see the phone when I connect it though. The phone will start charging but windows doesn't recognize that I connected it.

I had a friend who had that problem. When he plugged his phone into his computer, the phone would start charging but Windows wouldn't even play a notification sound to show the phone was plugged in. He couldn't access USB storage mode or anything. He called Samsung and was told his phone would need to be reflashed. His three button combo didn't work, so we bought a jig on eBay. We could get the phone into download mode that way...but Windows still/I] wouldn't recognize it. He called Samsung again and they replaced it under warranty, without any hassle.
Well, are you sure that you have your usb drivers installed correctly? Have you tried seeing if adb is recognizing the phone? Also, make sure that it is plugged in on all sides on the phone end of the the USB (sometimes the phone charges when it is plugged but unless you plug it in all the way, the computer won't recognize it)
try those...

Thanks for the replies. I know the USB drivers are good because I can easily mount USB storage on my wife's captivate - same exact I897UCKB2 build with the same cable. Additionally, a second pc won't see my phone even though it did before. I have tried at least 6 different ports numerous times. I am thinking I need a replacement.
My question now is that it is rooted with busybox, etc and I can't use an unroot program from a PC. Will a factory reset under settings (not CWM) erase all traces of root?

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?

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".

Reinstall your drivers. After installing the Heimdall driver, your driver that you need for Odin is borked.
i have reinstalled the phone drivers many times. i eaven downloaded them from samsung and tried that that. when i plug my phone in the computer will say installing drivers then it says completed. i restarted computer right click odin run as admin but nothing shows up in the com box..

can i unplug the phones usb cable from the pc while it is in download mode? i do not want to brick the phone
also is there a way to get out of download mode with out flashing the rom
got it. i let kies mini install drivers for phone then once kies mini found the phone so to did odin
oh and just help someone else who may be having these issues. yes you can unplug the phone as long as its not already flashing a rom. never unplug if already in the middle of flashing or you will brick the phone. to get out of download mode if you are not in the middle of a flash. if you find yourself like me and have put the phone in download mode and odin or whatever you are using will not recognize it or maybe you forgot to check usb debugging then unplug phone from computer remove battery for a few seconds and the phone should boot normally. tahnks guys for all the help i really appreciate it

If you connect your phone to the PC and then go to the computer's Device Manager, is it recognizing the phone correctly? Or are you getting the yellow exclamation point over the icon?
I use Heimdall when doing Odin tasks. It is an Open Source equivalent to Odin available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I'm not too familiar with Windows problems because I have been on Linux for the past 7 years. I have only used Windows in those years for updates to a Captivate that only worked through Kies, and rooting an Acer tablet with a Windows only tool.

I have seen some suggestions to try a different USB port, I expect you already have.

Have you tried Kies?
Is your phone stock or modified?

UPDATE:
After trying 3 different computers (windows XP & windows 7 64 & 32 bit, with Kies installed and without Kies installed), 12 different USB Ports, and 10 different cables at my house to NO AVAIL, just for a goof went to a friends house to try his computer (Windows 7 64 bit with Kies 2.6 & 3 installed), put the phone in download mode, connected it to his computer, with a random cable, opened Odin, and BOOM it showed up right away. I DON'T GET IT !!! WTF !! I have used Odin on no less than 1000 phones on my home PC with NO Problems, I try to hook this phone up to 3 different computers at my house (2 laptops and a PC), and Odin WOULD NOT see this phone. I am Stumped!
Glad you got it to work. I hope you were able to accomplish what you needed while you were at your friends.

Yes, I was able to Root the device with Towelroot after reverting from 4.4.2 Build NH3 to 4.4.2 Build NE3, Now I just have to get this thing home to "Fix" the IMEI number. One must be rooted before being able to "Fix" the IMEI number. I wish Samsung would just cut the **** with these unnecessary updates.....
This is one for the books. Must have just been a finicky phone..... Didn't like my computers, cables, or something.
Hello all! I have a unlocked Note 9, this is my 2nd one. Both I have wanted to restore back to 8.x from the beta, ODIN, and smart switch are not working. They are recognized, and then when the phone restarts into download mode they basically just sit there, do nothing. I started to think it might be the driver for download mode, not installed right, so it cant find the phone correctly. So can someone confirm this is what you see / should see when the phone is in download mode

I Havnt played with the note 9 in terms of flashing or rooting as I have the SM-N960W Canadian Snapdragon version and there is no way yet. I've used Odin many times to flash and it can be fussy for a few reasons, I rooted my Galaxy S7 and nexus 5 and a few others. My tips would be....
First Uninstall Samsung driver.
Then Download "usbdeview" on your pc and Uninstall any previous USB connections labeled Android or Samsung or related, as this will allow you to start off as if it's a fresh connection.
Re-Install Samsung USB drivers, then....
Plug in Using stock OEM Samsung Note USB cord and wait for it to connect and drivers to be recognized.
If no luck there try a different USB port. USB 2.0 May work if your using USB 3.0 and it isn't.
Try a different version of odin, there are many, also running odin as administrator may help but not necessarily for sure.
If all this fails try on another computer or laptop. Make sure you only select the proper/necessary options in odin.
