I had unrecognized device when trying to upgrade through kies mini, tried everything from wiping phone to restoring, master clear, deleting everything and restoring nothing worked. Found this guide through another thread about fixing kies mini crashes, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162 its to change your product code, soon as i corrected my product code on my phone kies mini recognized and asked for me to upgrade. Its pretty simple just follow guide and u will fix the unrecognized device in kies mini problem. if you are unsure if that is problem download sgs toolbox and check product code.
product code should be
SGH-i897KZAATT
Old news Yawn
That may be for some of you but i know alot of others were having problem i was and i searched all over and didnt find it. there is a upgrade out and seen many people talking about it without referring to the product code as problem until today. So if it doesnt pertain to u why post on this issue? no one cares if its old news to you. For others that are looking for the answer to prob its in that link, not changing dll's in kies mini or some of the other stuff i seen and tried.
Thanks jc, I was looking for this fix everywhere and came across your post.

I was pretty excited to see the Mango update is now available for the masses.. I mean those of us who don't have our devices unlocked as a developer phone so I decided to try my hands on it. But now I have some issues. When I open ZUNE I see update is available.
It tries to update but than after rebooting and finishing step 2/2: ERROR Code 80180048. apppers
I tried this several times on Win7 X64 and x86 but I still have the same problem.
Any ideas? maybe am getting something wrong

This could be happening for 2 reasons... Apparently your phone is getting confused by which update to download.
1) Did you unlock at any point with Chevron? If so you probably didn't check off all the languages. If this is the problem just look for the Microsoft approved walsh fix, very easy to find.
Then restore your phone to the version before it was provisioned for mango and apply the walsh fix. VERY IMPORTANT CHECK OFF EVERY LANGUAGE. Then restart the mango process and people have posted that this should work.
2) If, like me, your a registered developer and still getting this error then unfortunately I've only been able to find 1 fix. Microsoft is working on correcting the problem but has said it will take a couple weeks. So on to the fun part. You need to flash your phone back to factory form. Flash not reset. You lose everything. Good this is your purchase history, contacts and calendar should be attached to your live id, if not you might want to sync them.
To flash your rom just search these wonderful forums to find it. All I searched for was "flash focus rom" and found a thread with the files and instructions were in the files. Once your phone has been flash you should have no problem updating to mango although you have to go through all the original updates and re install and set up your phone.
Hope this helps... it worked for me.

Thanks for reaching out to help me but I think I will give up now. I did all what you told me.. I read from other places even before you responded but it still didn't work. Am thinking its a problem with my Samsung Omnia phone so I guess I have to wait till the Final release of mango comes out. I had also the same issue with NoDo, I had to wait till the official Samsung fix came before I could finally get it.. guess this is like that too.
Sorry I couldn't help more. I have an unlocked ATT Focus running on Rogers... I was able to flash an Omnia 7 ROM on it but that was horrible because the phone literally began to mix the up and down and the portrait and landscape modes.
Did you try and flash your omnia back to stock?
I couldn't return back to the the stock ROM. My boot-loader is probably damaged . When I press the the volume up + and camera button to enter into download mode all I see is the black and white screen ..
i did a search on this form and i couldnt find nothing similar. to make a long story short when i bought this tablet i was able to put it on DIAG using launcher pro and a few other steps of coarse. and i u was able to read this device on QSTP and i used to get this on QSTP FFA6550-ZRF6500 same one as my Epic 4G. mow here is what happened i was flashing a stock tar ROM with Odin and by accident i checked the clear EFS on Odin and after i a succesfull process after my tab rebooed of caorse y lost all my 3g activation from the tab and when i went to QSTP to load all my activation again it was not able to be detected it on QSTP anymore. now if i go to device manager on windows or QSTP configuration its shows on what port the tab its connected on but under phone number it says NO PHONE. iam wondering what did got wiped? radio or what did i lost? or how can i get back this FFA6550-ZRF6500 or what ever its the right one into this tab? i know it used to have FFA6550-ZRF6500 but i dont know if there is another one for this tab or not. if anyone has any info please let me know thanks in advance..
im pretty sure this is the wrong forum. this is galaxy tab plus. i think youre looking for original tab.
by accident you clicked clear EFS? this place gets better everyday.

It disturbs me that in every one of your posts you are mixing up the names of critical tools and systems. I would take a step back, read and understand the systems and processes you need to work with, and then try again.
You sound, to me, like you are rushing to be one of the cool kids without doing your due diligence

Well, to be honest your writing style makes it incredibly hard to figure out what you are even talking about, and of course you aren't going to find what you need when you aren't even using the right terms. It's QPST, not QSPT or any thing other than QPST.

oh **** lol. my bad i didnt notice that. yes thats what i ment QSTP to flash or edits phone. sorry about that. its sucks having bad eyes like in my case. thanks robyr.
and you're in the wrong device forum as no tab plus has qualcomm chips, I imagine you have the Original 7" Tab correct?
I would still be willing to help, but I havent used the QSTP tool that much. We are familiar with Odin. you say you have no 3G, so you're ROM boots up? Can you check if you have an IMEI or an /EFS folder present? If not you may have a very difficult time recovering if its possible at all.
What do you use QSTP for? flashing radios?
More clear info and we can try to help, although Id start by searching you're devices thread.

thanks chrisrotolo for you reply. well i have a sprint version of the galaxy tab 7 inches. sph p100. when i first got it i was able to put it on diag mode to be able to flash it to my boost mobile account. and qhen i sued QPSt i was abel to edit the phone or what ever its called on the tablet and i had it working for over a year. but i was doing a clockwork and recovery flash trough ODIN and i dont know how the hell y checked clear EFS and the damn activation disapeared and when i tryed to reflash it again to my account but QSTP wasnt able to detected. it does show up on the device manager and it shows as the modem and the port wich its using. just like it used to before this whole thing started. but now on QPST it not showing up. this whole,thing its stupid. i dont know what the hell it got wiped when the clear EFS was checked. i had done this clear EFC crap on my spint Epic and i dont have that issue am able to go back to QPSt like nothing ever happened. its just this damn tablet its now showing up as a phone like it used to.. iam about to smash it..
welp... here you are.. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-imei-efs-repair/
googled it in about 2-3 seconds flat. Restoring IMEI with a box is the probably the best way to go.
I just had my Tab Plus JTAG'ed because I flashed a custom boot loader. ( I was aware I was doing so)
I highly recommend this site. If you're in a rush you can choose rush option. This guy is great, send him an email Im sure he can help.
do you have any /efs folder or nv_data.bin or nv_data.bak files anywhere?
Enjoy. Research a bit more and be careful flashing huh?
Peace.

Hey guys,
I know this has been asked a lot but please help me guys.
I have a friend's Galaxy S6 here and there was the following problem with it:
A password was suddenly set and nobody knew why, she really said it came out of nowhere!
So she asked me to get her photos from the phone and reset it afterwards.
I did that on other phones before so I flashed TWRP and pulled the files with adb.
I tried to reboot after that and was stuck at the boot screen. Guys, I almost cried (I dont have much money to buy a new one).
Please, does any have an idea for me to fix this? It would be so greatly appreciated!
I tried flashing some stock firmware from stockrom.net but Odin always says FAIL!
Seriously: anybody who can solve this: I will be thankful towards you forever
Kind regards
Try flashing the stock ROM from www.sammobile.com/firmwares instead.
SOLVED! BRICKED S6 Try this!
Sorry for asking this old question so I hope I will be able to help someone looking for a solution with this answer at least.
Everybody having a problem with a bricked Samsung device - TRY THIS:
If you can still access the download mode on your device its pretty likely that this will fix the problem.
The new version of Samsung Kies (yes that cheap garbage software to put media on your device, because you are to dumb to use your fricking Windows explorer for that) is called SmartSwitch and is capable of restoring the stock firmware on your device! Not all devices are supported but it definitely worked for my S6! Download it for Windows and Mac OS:
samsung . com/us/smart-switch/ (international link)
samsung . com/de/support/smartswitch/ (This leads you to the German version, google the version for your country if necessary. you will find it)
Start the software and boot your phone to download mode, connect it to your PC and SmartSwitch should detect it. I dont exactly remember the way to restore but it was somewhat like this (the program is simple you will find it). SmartSwitch offers you to restore the phone somewhere and it gives you a screen where you can type in the model number of your device (Use the complete Model number). This screen is important since you specify which stock firmware to load on your device here! It will then give you a simple progress bar and download the firmware from Samsung and install it!
Sorry not to be able to tell you the exact way but SmartSwitch's design is simple - if you managed to brick your device with ODIN (like I did) you will find the restore option in SmartSwitch
Seriously try this before molesting your bricked device with ODIN even more. I couldnt believe that it did work since Kies was such garbage and the SmartSwitch UI looks too simple to be able to repair a damn bricked device. I couldnt believe it when my phone rebooted correctly with stock firmware on it after I had bricked it with ODIN when trying to root and backup stuff.
Hope this helps some lost souls out there. SmartSwitch made my week when I had bricked a friends device.
EDIT: I found a video in some language I dont understand; it shows the way through the GUI to the "type your model here" option

somebody already post a thread about this it seems but when i go read it, it doesn"t seem to say anything about it or it was edited already. anyway i need help with this error. just tried about everything i read in other places on how to solve this but there seems to be no solution to it. i think this is one of those problems asked in the net with a lot of answers given (almost all the same) but was really not solved. and if you"re going to tell me to change cable or port or install vcom drivers, i have done that and dtill error 2004. i have tried every version there is of sp flash tools and error 2004 is still the result. there are about four or five people i read who has the same problem, one even used three computers, but they were all unable to fix it there is just no communication between sp fllash tool and the tablet or phone. anyway i am not expecting any answers on this thread. i am thinking seriously of the last recourse which is to strike this damn tablet with a hammer and problem solved. thank you for any help i can get.

Hi to all of you.I got given an old samsung galaxy s4 mini(GT-I9192)and the person who gave it said it was broken if you can fix it you can keep/sell it.I tried opening it but it didnt respond to any keys even when i tried download/recovery/power on.As i researched online it seems to me that the device has been hardbricked.The guy who gave it to me said he had sent it to a store to repair and said that his cpu was not functioning anymore for both of his s4 minis which doesnt seem to happen just for the 2 phones that 1 person buys and because i live in Albania services arents so great.When i tried to install a custom rom from odin(latest to this date)it wouldnt recognise it but when i plugged the phone in windows made tge sound that something was plugged in and then shortly after it made the disconnecting sound whoch gives me a reason to think that the device may still be alive.I came here since this is the most know site for tech stuff.I havent seen any kind of bricking before but i read tgat the soft bricked devices just need a clean install and to wipe cache and dalvik which gives it the look when it was bought.Ive seen that you can pay for jtag or try a usb jig but i dont want to spend any money since i have a better phone (galaxy j5 2017) and i just wanted to see if i could use it to experiment with roms root and stuff on there.
Any help will be appriciated and if i have any mistakes in my languagee im sorry because as i said im from Albania and not USA/UK

Download and install the full set of USB drivers for Samsung phones. This might be part of your connection/disconnection issue.
https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
On your Windows system, go to Control Panel>Device Manager, then connect your device, when you connect it, watch the Device Manager window, if your device connects, it should have something appear on your list of devices. Try to see what the list shows when the device connects, even if it still just a momentary connection, then come back here and post what it says. This will give me a better idea of what is going on with the device.
If what your friend told you about the CPU's being bad is true, you won't be able to fix the device(s) unless you replace the motherboard(s).
Some Samsung devices with locked bootloaders also have a hardware component called a Q-fuse, if someone attempts to flash a custom recovery or anything else custom on the device, it trips Q-fuse which then "burns" the fuse, rendering the device inoperably hardbricked. This is probably what was attempted on the devices you have. If this is what happened, you won't be able to fix it, not even Samsung themselves can fix this, all they can do is salvage the device to reclaim any possible usable hardware components.

Thanks for the reply.First things to start,my friend doesnt mess up with loading custom roms as he doesnt have much knowledge on technology.Next,when i connected the device the first time it showed me the name QSHUSB_DLOAD(or smth like that because i am not avaible to use the computer right now).I tried installing some drivers and i will edit the name that i got when i use the computer in a matter of a hour or two.

Everything you're describing is exactly the results one gets when someone tries to flash something custom via Odin, or when trying to update the device via Odin but the wrong firmware is flashed.
Generally, the only to fix this is to send the device to a professional shop to have a JTAG service performed on the device(s) or replace the motherboard.
From what you describe, I believe the devices are permanently hardbricked, the only solution then is to replace the motherboard. Other than that, you're wasting your time.

Well feom what i know he doesnt know anything about odin or flashing a new rom since he doesnt even know what a rom is.Then again he hasnt done a factory reset since he doesnt know how.And he has even said that hasnt done anything else than getting it out of the box putting a sim card and just using it.If there is anything we can try to bring it to life by trying to flash a new custom rom or the original rom from an sd card or a usb flash drive(since i have the converter from charging port to usb).Anyways i was just trying to see if i could bring it to life and idk maybe give it to someone else or sell it.
Thanks for your help for the tips you have given me amd for the help that you may give in advance

If you can find a "debrick.img" or "unbrick.img",(sometimes, these files are debrick.bin or unbrick.bin), there is a method that involves burning the .img or .bin file on an sdcard to create a type of "bootable disk" to restore the device. The only way to get a copy of this file is from a rooted device with the same model number as yours, try to find one that someone has already creates and made available or try finding someone in this forum that has a device like yours with the same model number and then have them pull a copy of debrick.img from their device and upload it for you to download and use for your device.
Here is a thread for doing this on a galaxy S3, if you can find the specific debrick file for your exact model number, you can try this method. Use the method and the tools as described in the thread, you just need to make sure that any device specific files used in the method are those files for your specific model number.

Ok so first,if i do it on a usb will it work and will it be able to be used again as normal and the same for the sd card,will it be able to be used again?
Edit:I forgot but is there a limit to the usb or sdcard size that i will use?And is it possible if i get another samsung phone os or the debrick.img?

Use an sdcard, the thread that I linked has instructions for returning the sdcard to normal usage after you're done getting the device restored. No, you can not use a debrick.img or any other file from a device with a different model number, it has to be for YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL NUMBER I have told you that in every one of my replies here, that is a MUST, it is not "optional".
Stop looking for shortcuts, I know it isn't easy to find what you need but there are no substitutes, do it the right way or don't do it at all.
