Changing USB Selection from PDA to MODEM

Hey guys,
I want to work out a way to change the USB selection when connecting a GS2 to a PC from PDA to MODEM.
I know i have come across the way to do it before but i can't for the life of me find it again!
I have Comneon Modem drivers to use once it comes up in new hardware as a modem but i cant work out how to change it.
I vaguely remember something about using an adb shell and changing a usb_sel to MODEM? But i cant seem to find the usb_sel anywhere ... only uart_switch, are they the same thing?
The device comes up in Device Manager as "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem".
Tried just changing the drivers to the ones i have but doesnt work for what i need.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

Can you share the Comneon Modem drivers please.
On SGS, with code *#7284# you can change the usb mode from pda to modem.

[Q] MSM8960 USB Modem in Odin Mode

Alright. So, after bricking my first GS3 while attempting to root and unlock with Odin, I'm feeling confident enough to attempt rooting the replacement I've received. When I plug my phone into my PC while in Odin/Download mode, my computer insists that it's a Samsung USB modem named MSM8960. For the sake of clarity, sanity, and not bricking my Second GS3, is this what I should be seeing when I plug it into the computer in Odin mode? Or is this some driver issue? I installed the proper Samsung drivers for the Verizon GS3 before I plugged it into the computer, and any attempt to manually install a different set of drivers or uninstall the drivers Windows 8 is automatically providing me with when I plug in the device has not been successful. Help?

I realize this is one old thread but I'm having the exact same issue using Odin 3.07 and an S4. When I connect my phone via the USB cable Win7 searches for drivers for an MSM8960 and fails. All Samsung drivers are up to date and installed properly. Would love a solution to Odin recognizing and connecting to my device. TIA

I realize this is an old thread.... BUUUUT, I ran into this issue with my S3 on US Cellular, the simple solution was changing the usb cable and the port and the port on my laptop to a different one. Side note rebooting the computer may help for others but it was not necessary for me.
I hope this helps any future googlers.
If this fixes your issue please thank this post, it will let me know I contributed to your happiness, which will make me feel all warm and fuzzy!
Have a great life all you people I will never meet, who I might unbeknownstly help!

perhaps this can help.
i experience the same thing.
my phone is s4 active shv-e470 from korea, but i use it in indonesia here.
i usually flash my phone in my personal laptop, but i accidentally bricked my phone when i go to my parents home in another city. there is only my sister's laptop there, an asus notebook based on amd brazos. (E2 series processor).
strange thing is, when i put my phone in odin mode, the notebook recognize it as msm8960, so it can not found the appropiate driver. i'am pretty sure i have installes latest samsung usb mobile phone driver at first.
i try to change cable and different usb at same laptop (because that's the only pc in my parent's home) but still the same result.
i become really worried because i think i have bricked my phone and there is no way out.
then i plug my portable 2.5" hardisk into another usb port of the laptop.
suddenly, msm8960 device change into samsung modem and bla bla bla, then windows install appropriate samsung driver,so odin can recognize the phone now.
i flash the firmware quickly, and thank god it can run succesfully.

[Q] No USB Serial COM port in Win 7

Hello world,
I've got two phones (HTC Desire 601 running Android 4.2.2, and a MOTO X running Android 4.4.2) that I'm trying to use with a data collection software which communicates with the phone via COM ports using the USB Serial connection (Win 7 x64). The trouble is that neither phone shows up under the Ports (COM & LPT) section in the device manager. Both phones populate to other locations in device manager (Portable Devices, Android Device) and I am able to use Windows explorer to access files on both phones.
I've got USB debugging turned on on both phones. I've installed the latest drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled, and even tried some older Android USB drivers to no avail. I'm using HTC Sync Manager 2.4.36.0 (latest I believe), and an unnumbered Motorola Device Manager (at least none that I could find).
I've called HTC and Motorola but the support people weren't any help.
Any insights or help would be greatly appreciated.
It's also perfectly fine if the answer is no that doesn't work stop being silly.
Thanks to all!
Parker

I have successfully used other phones (LG AS780 and Galaxy S3) on this computer, but not other of these phones. I also tried these phones (HTC and Moto) on a second laptop and had the same issue.

i used different cables and pcs but still not recognised
yesterday i used odin with those options :
BL/AP/CP/CSC and checked
Auto-reboot
F.reset Time
phone EFS Clear
Phone bootloader update
it has taking some while to execute but after that my phone was working and detectable again by my pc the problem was resolved for a couple of hours, in the evening the problem occured again.
and i have tried the process again the same why but no connection at all.
i don't know if its a hardware problem or software related problem
because the usb work when i m in restore mode (Odin mode) otherwise no.
Its an advance problem i already check all about usb / cable and pcs related problem.

Problem resolved
I sent my S6 to Samsung SAV it take them 4 days.
they doesn't give me proper answers on what they have done but i saw that my mini-usb plug is new so i expect that they got this part changed accrodingly the samsung has no sign of damage its a clean operation.
Its now detectable. It was indeed a Hardware problem

i have the same issue but in a g928f
today i changer my lcd with the micro usb flex
so all is new except the main board and still is not recognised at any pc with any cable.
i am really starting to feel very sorry for this phone.
odin does not see it at all even at download mode.
i don't know what else to do.

Software or Hardware Issue
I have a s6 920t that I am suppose to pay for at the end of the day. I got it from a friend who bought it while overseas. The only time my computer detects it is in download mode/odin mode, I hear the sound and I see it as "Added". When I try to connect any other way I don't hear the sound my laptop makes when it has detected a new device also otg cables don't work. I just simply want to know if this a software or a hardware issue? Software I can fix but if it is hardware I don't want to waste my money. Please anyone reply as soon as you can so I can decide what to do.
Thank you

I have two S6 Edge and one of them started doing this (phone only appears on USB when in Download mode). When swapping the motherboard between the phones, it works. So the problem isn't with the motherboard, but the USB connection module attached with the ribbon cable... There must be a chip on the module which gets locked somehow and replacing the board is at least one way to fix it. Hopefully someone finds another method without replacing the charger board?
