Odin not finding my phone in download mode?

I have a galaxy s2 4g i9210t. I had kies installed and Odin worked fine for all my other phones and read this phone fine when in recovery mode or normal mode, but when I boot it into download mode Odin doesn't detect it and I get an error say failed to Install Samsung USB Cdc device driver. So my first instinct was to reinstall kies, that failed so I tried just installing the drivers on their own, that also failed. I then tried it all on another computer, that failed. I've also tried 5 different cables all of which work for my other phones. Can anyone help?

First you have to manage to install drivers...
Until you can not install drivers successfully it will not detect your device..
Are you using window 7?
Because it automatically detects and installs drivers.
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

Try to start Odin in Compatibility Mode!

As in just right click properties compatibility?
Sent from my GT-I9210T using xda premium

No go on compatibility mode. I don't think it's a problem with Odin reading it I think it's a problem with windows installing the drivers as I get the failed to installs driver error every time.

You need to get your phones USB system drivers installed or it is not going to find your phone no matter how many cables you use. You need to get the drivers that are there off and get a good clean install done. Find the right drivers "Samsung" windows for your flavor OS and install them on the computer. It should work fine then.

Well it's stock at the moment so I'm using kies for the drivers or the driver pack. But I'm trying more clean installs now.

Do you have acces to another pc My pc would never work with odin. I had to use my wife. I never figured out what the issues was but try different pc if possible.

I'll try another PC today, the problem is I only have access to an old one but I'll try

No go. I even tried to do it on a friends PC who just flashed his s2 perfectly and it still says failed to installs driver. (at least it didn't blue screen his PC!!)... This has made me think that it may be an issue with the phone itself

UNINSTALL KIES completely. Don't reinstall it! Use this DRIVERS.
Happy flashing

I got the same problem yesterday. I want to flash a CustomROM but Odin will not find my Galaxy S3. I had no Kies installed and had try every USB-Port I had, nothing work. Anyone has a idea for me to get Odin working for my S3?

A little help please..

Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with my phone now..
I tried to reflash XBSall's original ICS using the LGFlash Tool, and after the flashing process, I can't seem to turn on my phone at all.
I get an error that I hadn't encountered when I first flashed ICS onto my phone. You can see the error in the screenshot I have uploaded [Error Screen.JPG]
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, that would be great. I am still able to boot into the S/W flash thing (which I also have in my attachments, it's number 1 of the images[DSC_0029.jpg] )
Thanks for the help, XDA. In the meantime, I'll see what else I can do.
I have created a thread about this in the Thrill4G forums, but I know that this forum is more active, so I posted it here as well in order to (hopefully) get more responses. Sorry if this is considered a spam.

Can you boot into recovery? If so, wipe everything and try again.
Are you sure you did all of the steps in the tutorial right?
Did you install the OMAP4430 driver?
Also, did you change the port of the LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT to com41 in your device manager?

I cannot boot into any recovery. Heck, my phone won't even show the LG Logo when I hold the power button.
I did all the steps right (I've even posted a tutorial that has helped a few others to do this, which is pretty ironic), and installed OMAP4430 drivers, AND changed the port to com41.
Thanks for the luck though. I sure am gonna need it.

So you can't go into download mode? Does your PC recognize the phone when its plugged in?

Nope, I can't seem to get into download mode. The only thing that works right now is that S/W [insert Asian characters here] screen.

That s/w screen is similar (but not the same) as the one I get in download mode. I just checked again and I get a black background, 2 arrows making a circle and underneath it says S/W followed by some Korean.
Have you tried plugging in your USB and opening device manager to see if its recognised?

Yes, the device is recognized when in the S/W screen. I was able to change the port to com41 as well, so I could try to flash some .bin files with the Android system, because currently all it's able to do is erase the partitions, and not actually write anything to it.
It's also worth noting that at one point, I got Gingerbread to work. But, me being stupid, I tried to reinstall ICS, and the whole thing broke down on me. HOWEVER, when I was in Gingerbread, it told me my internal memory was corrupted. Would this make any issues when I try to reflash things?

I'm not very experienced at this but a corrupt internal memory doesn't sound healthy. All you can do is try to flash a ROM and hope for the best.

Already tried flashing a few, nothing seems to go past that OMAP error I keep getting.
Thanks for the try though.

Your internal memory is not corrupted , you just didn't format your Internal SD space when you came back to Gingerbread thats why you had that message.
So thats not the issue...
Actually from what you describe so far your phone is OK.
If nobody can help you fix it until next weekend when i 'll check XDA again i 'll show you how to fix it. (unless i m too busy)

Ok. Thank you XBSall. Your help is very, VERY much appreciated.

Try to put the batterry out and in when u re connecting the phone to your computer and uninstall drivers and install it again and read the describtion again and try every things again ...
I had the same problem but i try and try.. then i get it

It keeps flashing the 'USB Debugging Connected' than sometimes the pop up comes up on phone to allow 'Charge Mode/Disk Drive' but not always and my computer (Win7) tries to install the driver, it just keeps saying not connected when open HTC Sync and yes have tried all USB ports and uninstalled drivers also under 'Device Manager' there are no exclamation marks anywhere

I'm having a similar issue although I'm running Mac. Im running stock HTC rom and have just installed the update. When I plug the USB cable in I no longer get any connection options. HTC Sync can see my phone but I can't access the phone storage from my Mac anymore....Am I completely missing something or is anyone else having similar issues?

You did not read my OP right cuz I said all that in it so next please also I have 'Googled' everything and tried everything they say so any other thoughts, just want to get connected so I can flash ROMs once rooted?

Anyone, please any ideas other than those posted and please read before posting something I've already done?
Thanks

Well, its hard to go further... Try a different cable and a different PC. If it doesnt work with that either its your phone thats fuked up, if it works its your PC.
When you know which is the culprit we can move forward and try to solve it.

Agreed need another pc to test with.

Go to recovery on phone and it should then be recognized by pc...preferably use twrp for recovery. From there you can even mount usb to move Roms to you sd.

Not rooted yet because of this issue so I found one thing that might work and will try later when home and that is what I found on Google after days of searching, restart the computer whole phone is shutdown and than turn on phone as computer boots up and see if it will than recognize the phone (crossing fingers)
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Boot into bootloader and see if it's recognized by your computer. If it does then it's a Rom issue and you can factory reset from bootloader... (volume down + power) while phone is turned off

reinstall drivers and check that when u plug it in, the pc is seeing the nexus go to device manager and see if its recognized mand doesnt have an exclamation sign, if there is one, while plugged in, reinstall the drivers

Well I hope when u say "it doesn't do anything" that u weren't expecting something to pop up on the screen. If it mounts u can only tell by clicking.... My computer then drive "___" its probably drive f or g.
If it pops up then ur good. Add the ROM & gapps.
But worse case do what the previous post suggests.
Good luck

[q] is there any hope left for my tab?

problem began after i factory reset the tab, my tab keeps rebooting everytime either when i connecting to a wifi network/turning off the wifi/going to settings. then it freezes, and shows the samsung logo indefinitely.
when i force reboot it no longer goes into the system but only to samsung logo. i had to factory reset everytime to get into welcome screen.
the tab also have a usb connection issue as it wont get detected by the pc
odin pro is available but kinda useless since it still have to download specific files the tab for it to work
my tab is currently running on 4.1.2 P6800DXMD3 with skyhigh 3.9.1 kernel.no custom recovery
hope my english is good enough
anybody here can help me?

1. Try wipe cache in recovery and flash stock kernel.
2. Try flash full official firmware package with Odin PC. You may need to factory reset again in recovery before first boot.
Best of luck

You didn't say (and haven't said) it wouldn't connect in Download Mode. I didn't assume.....
- Make sure you have both the latest Samsung USB and ADB drivers installed. Uninstall old ones, reboot, install new and reboot.
- Have you checked your USB cable is ok?
If you can't enter download mode, you could be hurting.
- If all you can do is enter stock recovery, and if you had USB debugging enabled, maybe it's possible to push to system and preload etc. with ADB.

im gonna assume usb debugging is disabled since i factory reset the tab. so the setting must have been reset as well? but then i cant to to settings then the tab would freeze.

thanks for suggestion but i already resolve the prob :victory:
mobile odin still havent download the specific files for the tab so most of its features doesnt work. it doesnt even read files for sd card (not sure why)
but luckily i was able to flash custom recovery (twrp recovery) through it. so i had to push the files in via bluetooth from my phone.
well once in recovery just do all the usual stuff to flash the rom. using pac man right now. really wanted to use stock but i scared the bug would come again.
mobile odin literally saved my tab
