[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...

Galaxy Fit GT-S5670 - MIBIB Download & SETUP CONNECTION

This thread is for those friends who are new to android.
I found that many of us, who wants to move from custom roms to stock roms through odin, have faced some big problems like MIBIB download or SETUP CONNECTION . This happened with me as well... when I moved from cyanogenmod to froyo. So, based on my experience, here are some suggestions which may help you:-
When you select the OPS file, check its name. Its name should be "BENI_v1.0.ops" (without quotes) otherwise odin will not show your device's model number at the top and will stop at MIBIB Download. Please Note that as soon as you select the ops file, odin will show the model number of the device in its title bar regardless of whether the phone is physcally connected to PC or not. In my case, the mbib download problem is solved by renaming the OPS file. You can now install the stock firmware as normal.
If odin is showing the message "setup connection" and your Galaxy Fit is still connected to PC (i.e. COM port mapping box is yellow), then try another stock firmware. In my case, odin stopped at setup connection when I was installing froyo, so then I tried the One Package Gingerbread firmware. And Odin successfully installed it(you can also try another usb port). After then, I went for Froyo once again & Odin successfully installed it too.
Please remember that doing things unknowingly may damage your device. Once the phone is in DOWNLOAD MODE, it can not be switched on either normally or in recovery. It can only enter in DOWNLOAD MODE. I had the two firmwares when I did all this.
Hope this helps...
Press thanks if I helped you...

U saved my day ....

Note that if ur usb port malfunctions then odin will not proceed further. I recently noticed this major issue. Other errors like "checking plact platform verification" appear due to usb error. Try another pc or laptop(recommended).
1st & 4most, it's necessary that u tick "USB debugging" under "Android Settings->Application Development" b4 going to download mode.
Also, disable any antivirus, firewall...uninstall kies...& at last install/re-install ur Samsung Mobile Drivers. Use Odin 4.38.
The screen u mentioned appears when u exit download mode & try to switch it on either normally or in recovery. Don't worry...!!
1. Take out & re-insert battery.
2. Press "Volume Down & Home & Power button" & you'll again enter downloading mode.
If u want...I can provide u the firmware files that I always use
Hope this helps...!!!

[Q] Mac Odin/Heimdall

Looking for Odin or Heimdall so I can flash stock from my Mac. I tried Heimdall 1.4 but it did not recognize my phone. Does anyone have experience with Mac and flashing for Galaxy S6, with regards to what software to use?

I was trying to figure this out today as well. I came across jodin3, but the download was hosted on goo and the site was down so I wasn't able to try it out. I tried the Web based one as well but couldn't get the page to load...probably because of the Java 8 requirement.

If you download SmartSwitch and connect your phone, Click on the menu and you will see a option for ( Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization ) Click that and then click on ( Software Update And Initialization ) This will take about 15min to complete. This will return you back to stock and remove root and all other things. It will also clear you Internal memory!!!!

Will this work even if I unsuccessfully flash a rom? Last time I did I couldn't boot and could only enter download mode. I'm out in BFE western Kansas on a job so I don't want to be stuck without a working phone. Good to see you in the S6 forums! Did you move on from HTC or are you running both?

I'll have to test this out. It would be nice to have this recovery option for Mac. Thanks for the post!

Can anyone atest to smartswitch working when soft bricked?

If you have USB Debugging mode ON and you have granted your computer access, you should be able to run Smart Switch Software Recovery if you boot in to Download Mode. Will test later when I am home.
Download Mode:
Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button (At the same time)
Recovery Mode:
Vol Up + Vol Down + Power Button
(At the same time)
Download Mode To Recovery Mode:
While in Download Mode Hold down ( Vol Down + Power Button )
(At the same time)
Exit Download Mode:
Power Button + Home Button
(At the same time)

Has anyone tried using Odin in VirtualBox on Windows 10? I'm getting it set up now but wasn't sure if it would work. I haven't tried the smart sync method because if that didn't work I'd be SOL.
Edit: I couldn't get this to work. I got Odin up and running but it wouldn't recognize my phone. Maybe going through bootcamp would work but I don't have a thumb drive with me. Also, I was able to boot in to download mode and Smart Switch (for Mac) would say it was connecting to the phone, but it wouldn't ever fully connect.

@Roland_K thank you for these instructions. I want to make sure this applies in my situation too...
- My phone is NOT bricked
- VZW S6 on OC3 - rooted today, FlashFire installed, no mods
I just want to update to OE2 and flash one of the clean ROMs.
Do I need to unroot first? Or can I follow your instructions down to T and be fine?
Thank you so much!!!!!

Using Odin to fix bricked Samsung

Hi
I discovered my Samsung S III stuck on the Samsung screen. I have done all that was suggested but still no luck. It was suggested for me to use Odin to flash it with the original Android system. I read the instructions. I am very new to this. I have Kies my computer. When I plug my wifes phone in it sees it when I plug mine in it says installing drivers then fails. Even if I use Odin will the computer recognize my phone or is it a lost cause?
TIA

look up how to put your S3 into download mode and try Odin it should work if you have the current Odin and firmware files ready and correct USB drivers installed. I have a newer Samsung so I only use Odin, but I make sure it's in download mode first...

You must place your phone in download mode, simultaneously press the keys, volume up, home, and on, a screen with the android logo will appear, press the volume key up and enter download mode, then with the odin already open and the File of the original rom loaded, connect the usb cable to your phone and start downloading the rom to the phone .. :good:
