ODIN help

Searched and didnt find an answer. ODIN only recognizes my phone when NOT in download. I can open ODIN, plug phone in and get yellow in com box. Yet when I put phone in DL mode, open Odin and plug phone in, ODIN will not recognize it. I installed drivers through Mini Kies. Any one have any idea? And aslo, Heimdall recognizes the phone also.

Ok so heimdall does see your phone? Have tried using it?
How are performing dl mode?
What i do is:
Take battery out...
Plug cable to phone and pc via usb...
open program odin or one click...
Hold both volume buttons...
Pop battery back in....
Download mode....
Program should see phone, run it...
Don't hold power button...k

I can get into DL with no problem as seen in pic but ODIN only recognizes phone when just plugged in....not in DL mode. Pics kinda crappy but you can see the :yellow" com in the pic with the screen save on phone. Also..is there a Heimdall of just the GB boot loaders anywhere?

ok...I cant get Heimdall to work either...I downloaded mini kies for infuse ....went through the install of drivers....tried to flash to stock through heimdall...it asked to install drivers..I went through that...tried to flash stock again and it keeps looping into wanting to install the driversl...anyone have any clue?...i have removed all previous drivers before install of infuse drivers....

Heimdall uses its own drivers so if you use it you will no longer be able to use odin on that usb port...
As for it keeps looping.on install drivers...sometimes this helps, close the program reopen it. Unplug usb, put it back in pc, Put the phone out of DL mode and then put it back in then try
Also may wanna try a dif usb port

[Q] ODIN, can't connect in download mode, but onnects to switched on tablet

Hi guys!
I can't root my gt10.1 2 ((( When trying to connect it via odin - it shows nothing...
I rebooted device, pc, closed Kies, tried different usb ports, laptop - the result is 0 - odin cant see my device.
The most interesting thing is that odin can see my device when it is switched on
I really broke my brains trying to solve this problem)))
Any ideas???
P.S. Sorry for my bad English)))

odin flash back to stock
i recently succesfully rooted gtab2 p-3113 and lost all my apps including play store. after much searching found your link for odin flash to stock.says successful but my tab will not boot past pulsing samsung logo.please have patience with this noob question. HOW DO I FIX IT ? thanks guys, your threads have helped me succesfully root htc inspire,droidx2 and samsung illusion. your posts are invaluable. thanks again

You pressed volume down to confirm you wanted to enter download mode, right? Also, what OS are you on?

I couldn't get odin to work in download mode on my Win7X64 PC. I had to use another XP PC. Win7X64 works for some people, maybe it's a hardware specific issue.

Unplug tab.
Run ODEN as admin.
Plug tab in ODEN should show it connected.

You need to enable usb debugging, go to settings > developer options > usb debugging
Should solve your problem. Then go into download mode etc...

Agreed.if that doesn't work try to put it in another USB.sounds dumb but I couldn't get mine to connect and it worked for me.I'm pretty sure it has something to do with drivers and if you put it in another USB it will reinstall different drivers.I'm on win7 64 also.

^I doubt that, if it shows up as a usb device (if you can go to my computer and access the files for both the sd card and device) then its not a driver issue --mine showed up as a mp3 player (???) but it still worked. And then also as others said make sure you right click and run odin as admin. Good luck!
Actually if you dont speak english well i'm assuming you're not from america, I wonder if it could be a problem with a foreign version of windows (just a guess)

Actually just thought of this, You say you closed kies right? because for odin to work and programs like odin you need to plug your device in, close kies and then open odin. I think your issue may be that kies isnt actually closing, check your windows status bar in the lower right hand corner, a lot of manufacturer programs like kies dont actually close, they go into "device monitoring" mode. So if you see a small kies icon, right click and close it then open odin...

[Q] Conection troublem OMAP 4430

Hi everyone,
My P920 is bricked into a bootloop buy I can't even try any tutorial because the conection between the computer and the mobile isn't stable. I installed a few times the drivers, there are correctly and Windows get the device as OMAP4430 in the Device Manager (so, it's ok). But never stop to appear and disappear, connecting and disconecting everytime.
I've been looking for a solution this days but I didn't find any help,
Any idea of what should I do?
Thanks,
R

You must be logged onto pc as admin to uninstall old drivers and install new. Antivirus/Defender off when unzipping/unraring to prevent these from deleting files without your knowledge.

No one is working because my trouble isn't considered. I cannot connect properly my device to the PC. So, it works, but it disconnects everytime so it's impossible to flash.
Thanks everyone!

Emergency Recovery - doesn't recognise device

Hey,
I just flashed the firmware from another region and I have no idea why but it has failed at the end of the transfert.
Now I've got the blue screen saying that I need to connect my device to my computer and use the Emergency recovery function in SmartSwatch but it doesnt recognise my device...
I tried to reinstall the driver, change the usb port but it keeps failing!
Any idea?
I still have access to the download mode but when I try with the same file it failed, I'll try to download another firmware to see if it works.
Thanks

Connect it to Kies on your computer and use Kies factory firmware recovery setting to get your phone back up and running.

Neither Kies, Kies3 or Smart Swatch was able to see my device???
However I was able to flash the firmware using Odin :good:
I may try to re-download and install again a firmware from another region but it's pretty scary now
Yeah I know it's pretty stupid but I really want this TWRP to be working^^

Ok now I have download but no software recognises my phone and Odin fails...

By forcing my mobile to go into download mod (push Home Button + Volume Down+Power) after a couple of attempts it finally goes into the download mod.
If you can go into the download mod but OdinPC still doesn't work you have to try with another computer but if you can't go into download mod....
Hope you can fix it

even i have the same issue with my phone, its not detected by smart switch or any kies at all and now my phone is just a brick, plz help.

did you try to downgrade your os?
if so you need a firmware equal or bigger than the one you installed.

once you enter your sn in smart switch it will start downloading fw for your phone, and store it temporary in a temp folder.
From there you can copy fw to some other location on your disk, and flash it via Odin.

Use odin to load the stock AP file. Solve my problem.

Hi Guys,
For unknown reasons my fone went DEAD (BLACK SCREEN... NOT A SINGLE SIGN ON CHARGING OR USB).. Need advice what to do ??? is it dead or can be brought back to life by FLASHING ???
Any senior member or someone please help me ...

If you connect to pc how will it be?try charge it first.then connect to pc.if detect, flash stock rom.if cant,try find spare battery just in case.

FOne is not showing any charge sign or anything... just QD LOADER 9008 in Device Manager

Do you see charging light when you plug in the charger?
As long as the phone receiving power you can fix it.

Try connect to kies.does it detect or not? if you able to flash. try flash it to 5.0.1

What was the battery level (approx.)when the phone died?
You might want to try cleaning the battery and internal phone contacts with some Isopropyl Alcohol and a Qtip.
See if that helps.

No Sir still no solution of this problem

I helped a good man, he sent an image of the device. I recorded this image of the sdcard and the device will start with "Download" mode. Next, it is necessary to firmware flashing.
915F - sorry - region "SER". But the main thing - is to run the device, further will flashing firmware what you need.
Site do not give insert a link to a file. Write me in the mail - "[email protected]" I'll send a link to file/
Write the file need with program "win32 disk imager". If this method does not help is probably a problem with the hardware.
Good luck.

As per the screen shot posted it seems your pc picked up the correct driver. Now all you need to install is Odin. Then go to samobile.com and search your phone under Firmware. Make sure you got the exact model (pull out the battery and look for exact model #). Once downloaded go to Odin and check AP and select the file you downloaded. Then put your phone on Download Mode by pressing Vol Up + PWR at same time. Follow the instructions on your phone screen.
Once you connect your phone to pc it will show up as Port 3 or 4 or wherever the driver is connected to.
** As long as on Odin your phone gets picked up you will be able to push the firmware. Once you can do that you pretty much fixed it. If it's wtong fw then you will get a notice right away, if it's correct then you see the progress bar changing.

BL is corrupted, need to repair it,
Since this is a Qualcomm based device, you can flash only BL files to an SD Card then boot your device from that card until you get into Download mode,
then reflash the device with Odin,
Follow this guide:
1. Download debrick (BL) file from HERE,
2. Download Win32DiskImager from HERE,
3. Get an 32GB SD Card and connect it to PC,
4. Setup Win32 and Run it then do as the following picture,
5. Just let it finish, Then disconnect the SD Card,
6. Make sure the device's battery is well charged,
7. Put the SD Card into the phone,
8. Now you need to boot device into Download mode either by using USB JIG or by holding (Vol-, Home and Power),
9. Once device boot into Download, Pull out the SD,
10. Now just flash the phone with Latest FW (either Factory or One-Package will do the job),
11. There is no 11, we're done ..
##NOTE: Solution is TESTED and it works.

@mirosaw2 Will this also work with the SM-N915FY? Will this keep my data (contacts, SMS, photos etc) on the internal storage? I have my SM-N915FY in a state where it wouldn't recognize any commands, but it makes a connect / disconnect sound on my Windows computer when I just connect it via USB...

Edit: I just tried it and it worked!!! Thank you very much, now I'm able to restore my data and then I'll try to make the error gone with this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66879466&postcount=10
