[Q] Phone not showing up on pc while in download mode

I have the samsung galaxy s 4g. First off it can get into download mode, with the yellow triangle. Second, It's recognized in normal mode i.e., mass storage, samsung kies, media. Odin also recognizes it in normal mode as 0:COM. Though when starting in download mode windows tries to install it but fails and says usb not recognized. Also Odin no longer shows it as 0:COM. Any suggestions?

This is your first post. What are trying to do with ODIN can I ask?

Well I updated my phone through Kies to 2.3 but I think it messed up so I'm trying to roll back my phone to 2.2 through Odin

It is not as easy as just using ODIN to flash back. Why do you think it is messed up?

I've searched and can't find any answer to why it won't connect through download mode but will through the normal mode

After updating to 2.3 the top portion of my screen stopped working. everything else on the phone works.

The answer IS out there, I found it when I first started... But, here's the spoon:
1 Start Odin, plug in phone while it is off and battery out
2 hold the volume up/down buttons and insert battery
3 If Odin does not recognize phone then, reinstall the drivers
4 Repeat steps 1 and 2

Can you see enough of the screen to root your phone? I would recommend rooting it, downloading sgs kernel flasher, downloading a cwm kernel, flashing it, then reflashing through cwm stock gb and see if it fixes it. It might be a hardware issue though. Have yet to hear somebody say their screen stopped working after using kies.
Use the first link in my signature for detailed directions, links and downloads.
You don't need to **** with ODIN. I recommend my method. No ODIN

It's a bad download... Happened to me when I first updated to 2.3.6 via kies...

What won't let you root? SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse? I just did it today.
Make sure you are patient with it.

Just dawned on me... You need to make sure you have enabled USB Debugging Mode for SuperOneClick to work.
On the device, go to Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging

Stuck in recovery loop

So in the process of upgrading from CM7 to CM9, I somehow soft bricked my Infuse 4G. Now all it will do is reboot into blue CWM (version 5.0.2.7) continuously. My computer won't read it in download mode even after installing Kies, and a few sets of drivers (not all at the same time). It says error 43, and won't connect so I can't use odin or heimdall. Where do I need to go from here?
Edit: Update- got it into red CWM, then it rebooted and now I can neither connect it to a computer, or get any CWM options. It will boot into download mode, but my PC won't recognize it still. Safe to say I'm past the point of repair?

use odin 1.8 and flash UCKD5, then flash cm9

don't worry, it's far from brick.

It's still saveable...although which program have you been trying with download mode...I suggest heindal as it doesn't require any drivers from kies or Samsung...it downloads and installs custom driver for the phone the first time you run it...
So if you've had no luck with Odin try heimdal...if you had no luck with heimdal try Odin...but on a dif USB port...once heimdal is used Odin can't be used on that USB port...
You also may wanna try a dif USB cable...it could be your cable is semi broken and no longer works wig data transfer...mine was like this and would only charge and woulv no longer transfer data...so I used ny dads which worked...

My problem is that I can't get my computer to see the phone. It just boots to the Samsung screen and hangs there, even if I try to reboot to recovery again. Download mode works, but my laptop tells me there's a problem with the device.

Heimdall doesn't see the phone either. I'll try to find a USB when I go in to work tomorrow, because based on what I've been trying that's a definite possiblity.

I was in your exact situation. Here is how I resolved it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696716. The heimdall one-click unbrick was able to write to the when nothing else could.
Hope this helps...

Yeah you have to go wayyyyy back to stock and then upgrade. Any of the one click restores will work. No way to save your old rom, but you can definitely get out of it...

Try a different usb i been through the same thing...a samsung usb to be specific

Skyrocket JB Help

Hi, I've been looking to root/change the rom on my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket for a while, but everytime I come onto the dev forums here for a guide to do it, I seem to get stuck in a circle.
I tried ODIN, and all the troubleshooting, but it doesn't work for me.
I went to the ODIN-less methods, but it seems that I already need to have CMW....on there?
I am quite confused, so I downloaded the file linked here: http://d-h.st/40A (cwm6011touch_INSTALL.zip)
..Then i tried to 'apply update from sdcard' with that file from recovery mode in my phone...and i get: 'E: signature verification failed'.
My issue is that the documents are pretty confusing to me, they seem circular. The ones i've been looking at are:

I used that, and yes, I ran ODIN as an admin, as well as have my phone in download mode while doing so.

what does the screen show when your in dl mode
if you didn't follow the troubleshooting guide in odin, theres no way we can help you, and yes you have to go through the whole troubleshooting procedure
if you thought my guides are hard to understand, then you are computer illiterate, stay away from jb and stick with stock until you do some further reading, allot more reading and understand what you are getting yourself into, read the last part of my sig, we dont want you to brick your phone as we do see newbs do that, we're not trying to be condescending, we're just telling you the way it is

The screen of what? The computer? Well, ODIN shows nothing, as in no change from when the phone wasn't in DL mode. And the screen of my phone says: ODIN MODE, blah blah....then it has the Android bot and DOWNLOAD MODE with a warning.
I did indeed go through the whole procedure, i said that. I also understand what i'm getting myself into; i've done stuff like this before. Yeah, i get the whole way it is thing...but you guys probably didn't even read what i said in the first post.
Listen. Its not the guides i don't understand, its how to get CWM onto my phone without using ODIN. They were circular, meaning when i had an issue, id get linked a post that led me to the post i was just at. I'm confused on what i need to do.
I'm not going to go into how NOT computer illiterate i am, I'm really just trying to figure out either how to get ODIN to recognize my phone, or get CWM on it without ODIN, which is what your guides don't have/i'm confused about. Writing me off isn't helping at all.

Gah...darn it. Okay...well I just downloaded Kies to check for the driver issues in a different way, but here's everything i've done in the troubleshooting guide:
If Odin Shows An md5 Error: Unzip The Firmware Tar File Again And/Or Redownload The File Again
If The Phone Boots Into Any Rom, Make Sure Windows Can Transfer From And To Internal And External Sdcards To Rule Out Driver Issues
Does Kies Recognize Your Phone, Even If You Are On A Custom Rom Kies Will Recognize Your Phone, This Rules Out Driver Issues
Make Sure You Are In Download Mode On Your Phone
Make Sure Adb Or Kies Is Not Runnung In The Background
Restart Computer
Make Sure Battery Is Charged
Try Different Usb Port, Preferably The Rear Ones On Computer
Use Original Samsung Usb Cable, Or Try Different Cable But Still Oem
Uninstall drivers and kies, unplug phone & reboot comp, then just reinstall the USB Drivers from here
Try A Different Computer
Clean Phones Usb Port W/no Battery Installed
If You Tried All Of Above Tests And Phone Is Not Recognized By Your Computer You Then Have A Hardware Problem With The Phones Usb Port, Repair.
not an issue: If Phone Boot Loops Or Enters Into Recovery Mode While Trying To Get Into Download Mode(and you are sure you followed above procedure and also did not touch the power button), You Could Have A Stuck Power Button. To Fix That Try To Repeatedly Keep Pushing The Power Button Hard To Try To Unstick It.

u just copied and pasted my ts guide, but i need to know specifics, when you are booted up into android os, does windows see both sdcards and you can transfer files to and from phone and comp

Yes, I can transfer from and to both phone and SD. What do you mean by when I'm booted into android? I usually try something on the ts guide, and then try Odin...then I boot my phone into dl mode. Whenever Im trying to see if the phone is being detected its in Android is. Otherwise I turn it off.

I dunno.. if you are doing everything in the troubleshooting guide.. it should work.
There is no hardware OR software reason from what you have described that would prevent it from working.
The only other thing I can think of is the Odin version...

Well somethings not right, either your on the first screen in DL mode the one with yellow triangle and then u hit the volume up button to get into the second screen for DL mode(Odin mode), did u follow the guide in getting into DL mode.
Make sure kies (anything with word kies) is not running in the background in windows.
does kies recognize your phone

Galaxy s6 stuck at boot? Unable to fix

Hi xda members, im new in here and i was hoping for a bit of help
My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks

The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.

Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.

Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.
Report back

thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help

If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.

Bricked S7 Edge

Hi All, first post here and I'm 90% sure this is the wrong thread but I can't post in the ROMs, KERNAL, RECOVERIES thread....
Let me get to the point, I have a Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935W8) that won't show anything on the screen at all. No backlight or anything. I've tried using Odin to reflash the original ROM but keep failing on the re-partition. (Holding vol down, power and home will enter download mode and a solid blue light shows. The PC does recognize the phone but ADB doesn't since USB debugging wasn't enabled.)
Any ideas or is the NAND completely shot?
Thanks.

Tried repair via Smart Switch?

It tries to connect then says unsupported device. Emergency reset asks for a key...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge
ADB being enabled has nothing to do with Download mode, as Download mode is independent to the firmware
Make sure you're using ODIN 3.12.3 or newer, and that the COM port on ODIN is showing as connected
It's not 100% that the phone is entering DL mode though if you have no display

Key is your device serial number iirc
Back of phone

I can get it to connect to ODIN.
COM port shows along with "Added!" but it always fails at the repartition step. (I'm adding all 4 of the files at once I believe that is correct?)

Yep that's correct, are you trying to flash the same CSC or different?
Different CSC you might need to check the "Re-partition" option in ODIN settings as they can be different sizes
But no display in Download mode = Not a firmware problem, almost certainly a hardware problem

Alright, looks like I'm buying a parts phone and doing some surgery tonight. Thanks for the help!

Good luck
