Odin won't recognize my device. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

My Galaxy s5 att has been buggy lately running dynamic cat 3.0. I want to go back to stock. I downloaded the stock rom and Odin and tried to plug my phone in (on download mode) and it would not recognize it, my computer doesn't either. I tried to install the drivers but I got a message saying they weren't installed correctly. I tried a few times, restarting my computer and nothing will work. Please help.

Try different PC, data cable or usb port. Delete drivers restart PC then connect phone with out installing drivers back. Install KIES 3.. This is all I can think of for now. Let us know.

So I tried a different cable and same thing. Computer won't recognize the device. It does charge though so I guess that's good. My computer is saying there is an error with my device. I have an idea, if I go to recovery mode and wipe everything and then try to plug it in, will it recognize my device? I'll make sure to make a backup before I do that

Do you have access to different computer, any PC , just trying to find out if there is nothing wrong with phone. Seems to me like PC or cable problem but i want to be sure. I had similar problem with note 10.1. I change 4 cables then finally got one working. If all file you can try to wipe just make sure you will have working rom in case if that is hardware or usb port in your phone not working. Also you can try flash rom true Mobile Odin.

I looked at that app and it says do not use for Android 4.4 and up. They are working on it. I will try a different computer as soon as it's available.

Oh wow I didn't know there was a mobile Odin. So can the app completely wipe my phone and install stock rom without a computer?

I can't answer this question because i personally never done this but people claimed they done this. Just search more in XDA forum if this can be done on At&t S5. I know for fact people done this on at&t S3 back in days, but S5 have lock bootloader and i don't know if this will affect this any way.. That was just suggestion if you willing to try, like i said i don't know if this will work.

It's definitely not the pc. This other pc is also not recognizing it even after drivers are installed. It says the device has malfunctioned. So I'm guessing it's something wrong with my phone. I would bring it back to AT&T but I have to get it back to stock before that so I can keep my warranty.

[Q] computer can't see Galaxy S

my samsung galaxy s is not recognized by my computer no matter what i do!
don't know why, i've done some research, no results.
i've installed Kies, which i assume already installs the drivers, but when i connect, the computer shows no sign of connection (it says that i need to update drivers in device manager??) i tried different USB ports, toggled USB debugging on/off, NOTHING WORKS
the reason i want my computer to recognize the galaxy is because i want to update it to android 2.3.5 via odin. but when i enter download mode, the computer doesn't recognize it. when i'm in the system, the computer STILL doesn't recognize it...???
please somebody help, it's rooted, running a different MIUI version (not the ones in xda dev section), i'm not sure where i got it from, but it's called an ENG_MIUI?
CM7 (and subsequently MIUI) is built from the Nexus S source code, so find the proprer drivers for it. "CM7 drivers" should be a sufficient google search. Also, Kies sometimes interferes while using the other drivers. If you run into any problems, uninstall Kies.

To get your phone recognized you need nexus s drivers. But that won't help you get it recognized by kies.
You need stock firmware on your phone to get it updated through kies.

I have same problem previously. But it solved after I do this: while Kies open, select Tools then press Install driver.
thanks guys, but how would i go about doing that? the directions i found don't make any sense?

Just to clarify, this won't help you. Samsung uses Samsung drivers. Since you do not currently have Samsung firmware on your phone, this won't do you any good. As previously stated by two very informative posters, you will need the Nexus S drivers to recognize your phone.
And, also as previously stated by just an absolutely wonderfully helpful poster, if you do a simple google search you'll find exactly what you need. Try either Nexus S Driver, CM7 Driver, Nexus S CM7 Driver, or really anything else similar. You could also check the CM7 Wiki, as I'm sure there would be a link for them there. And finally, if you simply search XDA Developers, I'm sure you'd find plenty of posts with what you need.
Hopefully that helps.
thanks
now my computer can see it when it's in android, but why does it STILL not see my Galaxy S in download mode???
do i need another set of drivers? (it said driver not found)
BTW THANKS GUYS!!! sorry if i'm being annoying
hello??
anybody??
Well did you install the Nexus S drivers yet?

Well, it seems to be a driver issue!
Try these (32-bit windows) but make sure that you are having a fresh win7 installed just in any case that your reg got corrupted with drivers (Ime ).
Still not working,then try on another pc..!

Well, CM7 drivers won't help SGS to get recognized on PC on DLD mode, you need another set of drivers and not those Nexus S's. I had the above ones installed on my PC (Google's your Best friend ) .
I had to install the drivers manually,
Right click on computer, click manage -> device something -> find your device in the list, select to update driver, search manually and enter the path to your android sdk and search.
Worked like a charm to me

computer could see device in download mode?
hi
i had same problem, but computer recognize the device as "unknown device"
in all modes, developed, storage etc...
i am close to think thats is problem of internal usb driver of the rom
want to downgrade from de device, whitout usb, but i dont know how do it, because i am not root, and its no possible in 2.3.4 whituot usb.
thanks
I had a lot of similar issues with my I9000, too.
Tried everything on ROM and driver side also on different computers.
Finally it turned out that my Micro USB connector was corroded.
I have around 30 people in our company that have the same phone, and 5 of them had similar issues. I guess it's a common problem with this device.
I took a toothpick and cleaned the contact of the connector by sliding it up and down for a couple of million times. This also did the trick for my colleagues.
I think it's at least worth to try it.
Good luck
i try to clean the contact, but still cant connect to the computer.
I wonder if a method of degrading the system with a signed rom from the recovery, without using the USB cable or ODIN.
i have a same problem. Any new solution?

[Q] Phone bricked, black display and nv flash seems don't work! HELP PLS

Flashing ICS debug ROM, smartflash showed a timoeout error that I never had. The phone suts down and now the display is totally black and all functions don't start(recovery, booting, charging). I'm trying to use NVflash to rebirth it, but when I start flashing it creates 19 partitions, formats them and when starts sending flashboot.img it seems to be blocked(10 min saying this and I shut down the command prompt). Must I wait this long time or it is really blocked?

yes, i tried both redownloading and changing ROM, and it still blocks on flashboot.img
oh, you shouldn't have done that mate
The o2x is said to be unbrickable, but some people still manage in anyway. I yesterday when the ICS debug rom was installing with smartflash unplugged the cable right after it was dont formatting everything, nvflash still worked though, but if it doesn't with you you're pretty much screwed. Have you already tried this nvflash, maybe that'll work.

I confirm that, also on my laptop I had to change usb port to make nvflash working. For some reasons one usb port (maybe 3.0?) does not work with phone in apx-mode.

For some unknown reasons to me, my O2X does not work when connected to a usb3.0 port, while in apx-mode. When not in apx-mode all is working also with usb3.0. The behaviour is strange, the device is correctly seen when booted, but after that gives timeout-error.
BTW this is not a problem for me since I also have USB2 ports on my laptops.

My driver is working correctly, the problem (perfectly reproducible) is concerned with a specific usb port, with all other ports the phone is working as expected. I also tried different cables, the behaviour remained the same.
Maybe that port has not enough power for the phone but being a USB3 port, it sounds strange to me.
G.
I have the same problem. I bricked my LG 2X yesterday and I would like to flash something stock but I think my bootloader is blocked so I don't know how to fix my smartphone. Is there anyone who has managed to handle this problem? Please, I really want to unbrick my P990 but the most popular methods with NvFlash and SmartFlashTool don't work! :crying:

Oh. That was a bug on my Windows 7. I unbricked my phone on Windows XP with this tutorial:

[Q] A challenge for Captivate users!

Hey, im in Jamaica and ive got a challenge for Captivate users. No one has been able to figure this dilema out. Hopefully someone can solve this.
My captivates usb port has stopped doing anything. The details are:
1. The phone works fine and used to be rooted but the root is corrupt i think. Super user installed but the phone behaves unrooted and SU gives errors.
2. I cant flash ROMs since there is no usb.
3. Cannot sideload as the phone cant receive the AT&T OTA update since im in Jamaica.
4. I changed the USB port but same result (no charge, no connection to pc)
Im thinking the usb is bricked since the person i got it from says it charged the day before she reset the phone to give to me.
5. Cant update.zip via 3 recovery (i get e: siganture verification failed)
Can anyone figure this out!? Im thinking its impossible now. If only i could use sideload wonder machine wirelessly, then i could use Z4ROOT or Visionary to flash.
Maybe stupid question. But do u have the Samsung USB drivers installed? If yes then probably need a new USB cord. Try a different one.

3. Whats the jig supposed to do? Get me into download? If so, when i hold the volume buttons and power button, it takes me to a screen that gives me the options to clear cache, user data, and reinstall packages. but when i try various update.zip files i get the signed verification failed message. I think this is recovery mode but ill search for how to get into download mode. Does download mode work without usb?
Tried entering download mode but i guess since the usb doesnt work, thats why it doesnt function.

If the phone doesn't charge through the usb, you need a new usb port on your phone. If you know how to solder, you can probably get one for cheap and look at videos on how to do it. Otherwise, you can go through mobiletechvideos.com to get it replaced.
As for download mode, it's vol down + power.

The usb port was changed but the result was the same. All this happened after the person wiped the phone before i got it. Before that the usb port worked fine. Trying to put it into download mode now but a question again is, will it work if the usb port doesnt work?

The other way to fix this would be sideloading but ATT doesnt allow the OTA where im at. Anyway to upload Z4root quickly to googleplay then download it? LOL. My phone only allows apps from google play.

There's a security feature, you can uncheck it in your settings.
And holding vol down+power while phone is off will boot it in download mode (don't have the usb plugged in). Also, formatting and resetting a phone doesn't break usb. My guess, the job wasn't done correctly.
Have you tried it on other pc? Perhaps your pc usb port is defective.

1. There isnt any such setting on the ATT version of my captivate. I guess that option came after the sideload OTA update.
2. I hold the volume down button and the power when the phone is off but it just boots up as normal. No download mode. Is there a site that keeps update.zips or OTA update that can be pushed?

1. I though I remembered being able to sideload back then (it has been a while) but could be wrong.
2. Not with the signature verification. You'd need a custom recovery (cwm).
Getting in download mode is something that always works (unless you mess up with the bootloaders = bricked phone), just like getting in recovery. It's something that comes with the phone.
Basically, not much can be done on the Captivate without a working usb.

Any other suggestions with the download mode? I can get into recovery 100% of the time but the vol down + power just turens on the phone. Anyway to get a rooting app from google play? or bypass apk block? Is there anyway to update from att over wifi? I can check for update on the phone but it just hangs there. Guess its cuz im not in the states. Respect though!! If u figure out anything else to try let me know. Bless!!
A way to sideload apps without USB is to download the Google Drive app from the Play Store then upload the APK from your computer to your Drive. Next access your Drive on your phone and select the APK it should begin the regular install.
**you will need to allow 3rd party applications**

try going to Setting > Security > Enable Unknown Sources
thats where it is on my phone but im running a custom Rom
if that doesnt work try to find anything in the settings that says enable unknown sources.
---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------
So I did some reading and if your running stock at&t ROM you most likely are not able to allow unknown sources (because for some reason AT&t blocks it).
You might want to try download an app called AppInstaller by FunTrigger from PlayStore (I have never used this and I'm not sure if it will get around the 3rd party problem you are having but its worth a shot)
You should be able to use it to install the APK in your Drive.
---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------
Okay I think I've got it. Note that i have not tried this myself and take no responsibility if something goes wrong.
How to enable unknown sources on AT&T phone:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > select Customization Settings Provider and then Clear Data
Next go back one page and select Settings and then Clear Data
Now in Settings > Applications you should see the option unknown sources select it.
Now unknown sources are enabled!

This option does not appear in my list. Remember i told ya i was reading that hehehe. Dont know why it isnt there though. Sigh. Maybe putting the ATT chip back in will help although i dont think its still activated.

I don't know how set you are on keeping your data but why not try a complete factory reset?
And if that doesn't work then just flash a new CWM and ROM,,, there are ways to do that without connecting to a computer.

5830D Odin wont detect

This story started by me unlocking a friends SGA S5830 that was running on Koodo. He picked it up second hand. He wanted to unlock it so he could run it on Virgin. I successfully unlocked it. And tried my Telus sim, phone didn't have one, worked 100%. But, of course I couldn't leave well enough alone. I installed CWM did a backup. And then tried CM10. Phone wouldn't detect sim. Tried CM7, same thing. I tried restoring my backup and all it does is hangs on the phone model splash screen. I have tried numerous things to get it to detect in Odin and Odin Multi Downloader. It just wont detect. I have no issues with my T989D.
Thanks for any insight

Thanks for the response. But, I have already done that. I have tried a couple of driver packages. Including installing keys. Which does see the phone. And also says that there is no FW for it.

Ok while in download mode n unplugged from pc....open up device manager.....then connect ur phone....does it refresh ?
definitely in download mode. Pink screen and then up arrow and it says downloading. I get a warning message say that the usb device is not recognized and that the device has malfunctioned. I wish I could find a stock FW to load onto it with CWM.
Yes it refreshes.

I will give you the link for samsung usb drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
And make sure samsung kies isn't running at background and disable anti virus
Ya, that's the drivers I was using. No dice. I have kies uninstalled at this point. Odin picks my phone up right away. Just not this one. Might be something screwy with it. You don't know of a stock flash that I can load via CWM?
Thanks

You can use Mobile Odin (Galaxy Ace MOD)
Several members used it to flash a new stock rom successfully
Awesome. Worked perfectly! I will "Thank You".

[Q] HTC One can't be read by computer

I have the International non-developer version and it came with the stock ROM with Sense 5. I rooted it and installed Google's 4.2.2 stock ROM, but when the 4.3 version came out I updated it via OTA (I know I shouldn't have done that, but I guess what's done is done). After the update, whenever I plug in my phone it still shows up but when I open it there's nothing in it no matter how many times I refresh it. Also, when I try to use Nandroid Manager it says that my phone is not rooted.
Now I also can't use adb and fastboot as they both say there is no phone plugged in when it is actually plugged in. How do I solve this? Any help would be appreciated
Btw, I have the drivers for the phone installed along with HTC Sync Manager.
Enable the USB debugging in the Developer settings > that enables ADB
I assume you know, that you need to tap on the build number 7 times to let the developer menu pop up
Since 4.3 there is multiuser, you must move your data with a file manager from data/user to data/user/0

Well I didn't know about the developer menu thing ._. I thought there was no developer settings for the ROM.
Anyway, I did what you said but adb/fastboot still can't detect it.

Could it be due to different pc configuration or a faulty cable ?
I myself have a couple knock-off cables with them i usually have
To remove and resert a couple times before a big file gets transfered

The phone has to be booted into the os for adb to work. Fastboot only until you get a rom flashed.
