Odin stopped detecting my sgs, any ideas?

Don't know why but Odin (1.3, 1.53 and 1.7) stopped seeing my phone.
Running it in Win XP, from a Virtualbox under Ubuntu 10.10
Has been running fine so really no clue what's going on.
Strange thing is that Heimdall does work, sees the phone, no probs.
Maybe I changed or deleted something, drivers maybe but I can't recall having changed anything other than some proposed XP updates.
I would like to get Odin recognizing my sgs again so any help would be appreciated!

When you are in Odin, Have you checked KIES is NOT running in the icon tray ??
if you have:
try a different USB port, this happens to me occasionally (weird eh! )
if that fails, try to un-install KIES (if you have it) and then re install it, this should also re install the drivers.
if you dont fancy doing all of that, the drivers are available to download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
Kies is completely disabled, only used it once to move to Froyo. I ran the driver update and Odin just worked ever since. It's not the usb port cause Heimdall is working fine on it, btw, switched and and it makes no difference.
I just reinstalled the drivers once more, booted and still odin doesn't see the phone, Heimdall does...
Damn, frustrating. Now what?

I wouldn't bother with trying to run Odin on Ubuntu. I use heimdall on Ubuntu and its less risky than Odin and gives you more pick and mix options!
Its just untar-ing a few files...

i had the same problem, but then i found out i had to re-register with kies, so that my computer would pick up my phone when in download mode. so i backed up with kies so my phone was recognised, and then went into to download mode and let odin work its magic with darkys rom

Kies doesn't work on Ubuntu. Lets face it kies barely works on windows

Kies does work in XP in Virtualbox in (Linux yippee!) Ubuntu.
I would still like to get to the bottom of this. I will continue with Heimdall in virtualbox/xp (I couldn't get Heimdall to work under Ubuntu &!^!%!!) but will remove and reinstall Kies and see how that pans out. Thanks for the tips!

Don't Move Cabel Once phone in Download mode if odin is still not detecting check that you have installed drivers and remove battry from phone then again go to download mode

[Q] odin will not detect my phone

i have windows 7 and a samsung captivaye flashed with heimdall 2.3.4 gingerbread. i want to flash 2.3.5 with clockwork mod and can only find one that comes with a odin one click. my problem is the comuter recognizes the phone heimdall does too but no version of odin will. any ideas on how to get odin to see my phone. and yes im in download mode

my computer is running windows 7 and i have a samsung captivate. my computer recognizes my phone, hemdall recognizes my phone but no version of Odin will. i am running 2.3.4 gingerbread flashed with heimdall but i want to flash it with 2.3.5 with clockwork mod which the only version i could find came in a odin one click package. any ideas on how to get odin to recognize my phone???
and yes i ran odin as admin still no go

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..

For more help

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

I have an S4 Active that NO MATTER WHAT I DO, Odin will NOT see phone in Download mode, it will with the phone on, and my PC will see the phone, but not Odin. I am stumped. I have tried 3 PC's, I have ALL the drivers and then some. I am Stumped.

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.
Other thoughts:
What version of Odin are you using?
Have you tried Kies?
Is your phone stock or modified?

I have tried numerous computers, numerous cables, numerous USB ports, I have tried every version of Odin known to mankind, I have tried with kies, without kies, and my phone is completely stock, not modified whatsoever, this one has me stumped. I have used odin on no less than 1000 phones never have I had a phone not react to Odin. the phone reacts 100% of the time to anything but Odin, I am wondering if Samsung has released a security update that is preventing communication with Odin

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.

Bricked even with download mode ?

Hi All,
here is the story, I was on MilkyS GB rom, made a ndriod backup, then flashed dark knight 2.1 then wiped , flashed DK3 w/ Semaphone. Today, I was going to flash stock JVU via Odin but while I was charging up the phone I already noticed Windows was showing error saying something like ' USB device is malfunction cannot install' , so I thought that must be a DK3 bug for not able to access to the SD card, so I did not care.
Went ahead and tried to flash Odin, sure enough Odin did not detect my phone, so did Google and found 'Gnex USB drivers' which by the way took forever to install, while waiting , I thought I might as well just go back to MilkyS GB by using the backup I have done before, so I went in recovery tried to restore, but not successful, so I went ahead and choose reboot....now I am stuck at the boot screen, pull battery, I can go into download mode , however, Odin cannot detect the phone so I still can NOT flash anything.... (just now tried all kinds of drivers I can find, CM7 USB driver, Google usb_driver_r04-windows, even installed the drivers within Andriod SDK, still can't detect the phone..)
Any suggestions ? am I out of luck ? by the way, tried installing drivers in 3 x different laptops and with different USB port on them...

Have you tried a different USB cable? Also ensure KIES is not running & that there are no KIES processes running in the background. Make sure no other usb devices connected to the pc. I've also heard Windows 7 64bit can be the issue sometime but not sure so maybe try a windows xp pc.
Also try disabling any antivirus/firewall on the pc. I had this is issue but for me restarting pc and using a different USB port did the trick.
Should you figure out the USB issue you can't actually restore a Gingerbread backup from ICS.
You will need to get a stock rom (darky resurection should also work) and flash with ODIN. You will need a 3 file stock rom (pda,phone,csc) & 512 pit file.
From here you will need to select all files into relevant places, check repartion and run ODIN. Sometimes I've also needed to flash a second time with just the 3 files and repartition unchecked.

thanks scubadude for your reply. Yes, tried 2 x cables, 3 x laptops and all the USB ports on the laptops, now trying on a clean XP , AV disabled PC still no go.
I know the Odin 3 file process and so on and I kind of know that I can't flash GB on top of ICS that is why I attempt to flash stock in Odin but I guess I was just impatient to wait for the stupid Samsung driver to be installed and made a stupid mistake...

I guess you have tried going back in recovery mode using the 3-button combo but that is also not working?
Odin isn't recognizing your phone but does windows recognize it? If you uninstall all samsung drivers and then try to connect your phone to PC does it ask for installation of drivers? .. if it doesn't that means your phone's usb could have become faulty.. (just speculating)
Or you can try to use Heimdall instead of Odin.. maybe that'll work for you..

Try using Heimdall for mac or linux. It does the same as Odin with no drivers.
Also try cleaning the contacts in usb port on the phone with a small brush(this worked for me when I had similar problems).

Try using Heimdall for linux. The windows version depends on drivers while the linux does not need drivers.
Also try turning USB-debugging on. Some people report that this is needed for download mode, though I don't see how this can make a difference as the OS is not loaded when using download mode.
If this doesn't work I think you have a hardware problem.
EDIT: Don't use WM-ware etc for the above. I think an Ubuntu live CD will be fine.

I think it´s the only help u can get

You wanted to use Heimdall, so you used Zadig to install the drivers? That's fine, but if you then decide to use Odin, you'll need to install the Odin drivers first as Odin doesn't work with the Heimdall drivers. You can install the Odin drivers if you've installed Kies on your computer, it contains the driver Odin needs (on my computer it's in a folder called USB Driver). If you don't have installed Kies, installing it will install the drivers. If you don't want to install Kies, you should be able to find the package containing only the drivers on the Net.
After installing the drivers, reboot the computer. Then put the Tab in Download mode, connect it to the computer, and start Odin. With a bit of luck it will now recognise the Tab.

Thank you so much for your kindly reply. I tried to use heimdall but it keeps saying the package was wrong. Should I look for a correct package then use Heimdall to fix it? I have installed Kies, but it wont recognize my device, Odin doesnt neither. I just dont know how do I set up the driver, would you be kindly enough to give me a link? Lots of thanks.

Are the Heimdall drivers installed correctly? If so, and if you can find a Heimdall package that can be flashed, then that's good too. If you want to use Odin, and you haven't reinstalled the Kies drivers after using Heimdall, I found the Kies drivers in folder C:\Program Files\Kies\USB Driver, and the file was named SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe. Just run it, and reboot your computer. Then switch off the Tab, and press and hold the On switch and Volume Down button until it starts in Download mode (the screen with the yellow text). Start Odin, and connect the Tab to the computer with the USB cable. Hopefully it will see the Tab (display the COM-port of the Tab). If it recognises the Tab, you can flash a new ROM.

If I recall correctly..I read somewhere here..that, If you wanted to use odin after you install hemidal..there is something that you must do first (delete or run a commands or something) before you can use odin..usually the instruction manual comes with the installer..or installed with hemidal itself..but, I don't know.. Maybe I'm wrong.. Because I never use hemidal before..

Odin will recognize your tab if you install the right drivers. On windows, it happens automatically, if you are connected to the net. As long as you can boot into download mode, you are safe. Dont worry, bricking a galaxy tab is very hard.

<SOLVED> Upgrade android on a GT-P1000L

Hello,
Need to upgrade an old tablet to whatever newer version I can. Currently it has:
Model: GT-P1000L
Android version: 2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
I found a few links to do the ROM to Lollipop and/or KitKat, however, I am having issues with the tablet being recognize by Windows 8.1.
Drivers are not working, but even when I plug it in, I never even get an "unknown device" in device manager. Odin will not see it as well when in download mode and I have the original USB cable.
Added: I just tried a Win7 VM and no luck as well. Tablet not recognize at all, it does not show in "device manager" with or without drivers.
Any ideas anyone?

bump

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers or else install samsung keys....or try another cable.
You also have to be in the download mode(volume down+power key) to use odin.
If all this does not work then try on some other system

Thanks! I tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers multiple times, different versions, etc. Tried a Win7 VM on a MAC + machines with Win 8.1 and 10. None worked. Also tried different Odin versions, same result. And yes, all in download mode.
Yesterday after some research, I am leaning towards a bad cable. It seems some cables are good for charging (in this case it will charge) but not for data transfer.
Will keep you posted.

After dealing with a bad cable, I was finally able to install CWM as in this guide. However, as soon as I installed OMNI 4.4.4., it booted on TWRP 2.8.1. The touch is not working on screen nor the buttons while on TWRP. Cannot do anything.
- ADB shows the device in recovery
Can something be done? I was following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab/general/how-to-install-android-cm12-lollipop-5-t3018841

SOLUTION:
This sure was a learning lesson. For some reason, anytime I flashed "CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar" I lost the touch screen in Android and in CWM. So when flashing Omni 4.4.4, could not do anything in TWRP. After lots of reading and some trial/errors, this worked...
- Re-stock using firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
- From stock 2.3.6, I flashed CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar with Odin
- Lost touch in screen
- Boot to recovery and in CWM, using volume and power buttons, I installed zip ROM called "HumberOS-v2.1"
- Boot to recovery, Got TOUCH back! Do all wipes.
- From CWM, installed Omni 4.4.4, which gave me TWRP (with touch screen working!) and the ability to install any 5.x or 6.x ROMs as specified here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab/general/how-to-install-android-cm12-lollipop-5-t3018841.

HI, I had the same issue. maybe should try first to make sure you have the right drivers. look for samsung driver for mobile devices and try on different usb ports. I have 3.0 usb and 2.0 usb on my laptop and when I connect my tablet to the 3.0 ones it doent work! so I started using the 2.0 and went smooth

Yes, make sure the correct drivers are there and also try different ports and different PCs if you can. Your issue is a bit different to mine, as it was never shown as "unknown device" for me.
Just FYI... It took me a couple of days to finally research and find out there are different cables, some for charging only and some for charging and data transfer. In my case since I had the charge only cable, PCs never detected the tablet. New cable first try it was detected by Odin.

So, when you say your tablet has new life, how good are we talking? I flashed mine with Cyanogenmod 9.something a while back, and it's near to unusable. Would like to bring it back to life...

we all have different meaning for unusable. For me, the fact that it can have code 5.x or newer is a life saver.
