[Q] Flashing via Odin problems - General Questions and Answers

Trying to flash via Odin on my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 YP-G1, only problem is the device isn't recognized by Odin in download mode, only when the device is booted and on home screen does Odin com port pick up the device. I've tried everything except starting Odin on the home screen. USB Debugging is enabled, device is rooted,re-installed device drivers, tried multiple USB ports on my computer, etc... Nothing I've tried will allow Odin to see my device in download mode. I'm out of ideas, anyone have a suggestion?

Try a different version of Odin?
Sent from somewhere....if I could only remember where....

Each USB port on your computer will show as a different COM port. Go into Device Manager when the phone is connected and see which COM port the phone is on. Set Odin to use that port.

USB problems

Hey. My captivate has been working beautifully with these new GB roms until about a week ago when my computer won't even recognize my phone. and all the phone shows that it charging but no notification about USB connection? ive tried different ports and reinstalling drivers all that good stuff and restarting my computer and turning on and off usb debugging and the cable still works with other devices so can anyone help?
Also can you tell me if samsung will replace my phone with a custom ROM on it? im thinking of doing this because i cant flash back to stock without the USB working!
Are you sure the cable is 100% functional? What other devices?
Try plugging it in to another computer as well

I have had that problem on a few gb roms too. Go into USB settings and change them to kies and then plug your phone into the computer using your USB cable. Just leave it plugged in for a few seconds, you don't have to wait for your phone to be detected. After unplugging the cable, restart your computer and phone. Once both are running again, go back into USB setting and change them back to USB storage and then plug your phone back into your computer, making sure you use a USB port directly connected to your motherboard. Works for me everytime.
Edit: If you suspect that your USB cable is not working, see if Odin will detect your phone in download mode. Don't flash anything, just see if it says connected in Odin.

it didnt work if i just go to samsung and give them the phone with the custom rom on it what would they do?
Download kies and see if your computer will detect your phone in kies mode. You could always get an SD card and put all the files on the card then move them to your internal SD. If you have a custom rom installed you can flash stock using cwm. Did you try connecting your phone in download mode to your computer running Odin??? If it doesn't detect it then your USB port is not working or your USB cable is broken. If it is working flash stock and start again. It could be a bad flash.
i have had the same problem a couple days ago, plugged in another captivate into my computer it recognized it. then plugged in my phone and everything was working fine again.
try plugging in anothe android phone running froyo or whatever version you have
Can you get your phone into download mode?

Sounds like it could be, try plugging it into the back of the computer and see if that helps.

The USB drivers for download mode are in the bootloaders and has nothing to do with the USB drivers for the rom. Even if you had a bad flash and the USB portion of the rom was corrupt, your computer would still be able to detect your phone in download mode. See if you can plug your phone into a different computer either at a friends house or at work to see if they can detect your phone with your cable. If not, you will need a new cable.

So what if that didn't work and nothing was wrong with the cable? Would it be my USB port on the phone because the cable wiggles when I put it in.

If it's displaying the yellow triangle, it isn't a brick.
There seems to be some sort of problem with your PC. Beyond that I can't help you - I never use download mode on a Windows machine. All I can suggest is - do you see any unknown devices in device manager when the phone is plugged in and in download mode?
i had this problem as well. and still do on the front USB ports of my machine.
Install the Drivers again and try the ports on the Back of your PC....Hope it helps
Had same problem tried for an hour Odin would not recognize, used friends PC recognized first time, phone is not bricked its your PC try restarting, mine finally did recognize phone after continues restarting and switching USB Ports didn't even have to run Odin as admin

I need help, badly.

so, my phone is bricked, I bought a jig since I couldn't access download mode. The jig works perfectly, but no matter what cord, USB port or computer or operating system I still can't get the phone recognized. I always get "USB device not recognized, it may have malfunctioned...etc." I thought it was the drivers and etc, but my friends Galaxy S works in download mode and gets recognized...I thought it might be the USB port, but the jig works everytime and the charger turns the phone on when plugged in.
So I'm out of options, the unbrickable mod is just not in my skill set, what else can I possibly do?
I know you said it was coming up as USB device not recognized...buy did you run Odin and see if it was there?
Yes, neither hemidall or odin detect it.

I can't tell if you tried this, but when I was flashing with the Captivate and Odin, I always re-installed the drivers. Everytime. I also had better luck running Odin as Administrator. Again, couldn't tell from OP if you did all that, so hope I'm not preaching to the choir

then try to go in download mode u can go in it by
1.take out the battery
2.hold the 2 volume keys (not the power key).
3.put battery inside..

Have you tried just putting cable in PC then in reg mode hook to phone...let it find and recognize. Then unhook from phone. then put in d/l mode then hook to computer....then open odin.....
EDIT: the cable that comes with the phone is really not such a good cable...i went out and bought a nice thick one..just casue the sammy one works for charging and USB mass storage doesn't mean it will for ODIN...I ran into that with my Captivate and Infuse...I went out and got a nice thick 25$ cable...no issues...also try a diff port...>?
I swear the op never gets read. the phone is bricked, I can't get past the Samsung screen, I have stock 3e recovery, and the only way to get to download mode is the jig. I have tried kies mini and the exe for drivers but none of the multiple computers ive tried recognize the phone, I have tried several different cords as well, I think my only option is Jtag.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
No that's not your only option..... If the phone turns on at all ths sts great, diagnosing kies fire the drivers is crucial first off, then use the jig to get into dl then hook up to computer and open heimdall one click back to stock by Ulster, if heimdall still doesn't recognize it, unplug micro USB from phone and plug back in, again the RIGHT drivers for windows or Mac are CRUCIAL! Just went through a huge ordeal with my infuse thinking it was gonna be dead, if you can get to Samsung letters its not bricked, bricked is if it does nothing....read my last post.

Your phone isn't bricked, because it boots. I agree with the USB ports and drivers for troubleshooting.
Download the latest Samsung drivers, uninstall any older packages, reboot, install newest drivers and ODIN. For the USB port, on a desktop, avoid using ones connected as hubs (front panel of case) and for laptops, use a port closest to the AC adapter port. Also aim for USB 2 ports if available.
Just an update, I downloaded the newest version of ODIN, I redownloaded the Samsung USB drivers, used the usb cable that came with my phone and connected it to the USB port from the motherboard instead of the case and I was able to flash the Stock image in Odin.
Thanks for the suggestions guys!
