I own a Samsung galaxy mini and i was trying to install a custom ROM but during the process the screen went black and nothing responds not even the charger but the phone does get warm during charging even tho nothing shows up on screen. If i plug the USB to the computer and press Home key, vol UP and the power key the computer recongised a device is connected and install drivers for a Samsung modem and stuff but yet again nothing on the phone screen i have tried using Odin and the program reconises there is a device connected also but when i begin to do the process Odin either crashes on the PC or it gets to set up connection then the timer is going but nothing happens on screen or on Odin.
pls help as i really am tired of using a crappy back up Nokia

I have a Samsung Showcase (Cellular South Version) and yesterday morning my phone had been working perfectly. That evening when I was in download mode I couldn't get Odin to see my phone. I rebooted and now it doesn't give me the option of Mass Storage or even say USB connected. But it does charge via USB to PC. I have tried 4 Win 7 machines and 3 different cables. I have also tried cleaning the connection with alcohol and sprayed with air spray to clean. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Samsung drivers a bunch of times. I have also installed Kies. But I am totally lost and need some direction thanks. If all fails I'll just have to exchange it but I'll pay for that.
Same thing happened to me with my mesmerize. Make sure that once connected you hold down the volume key to enable "download mode". Once i did that it popped up in Odin. Hopefully it works for you.

How long did you hold it, I been holding it for a while maybe a min long and nothing happens.
I always just hold the volume button down, then plug it in to get in download mode. Try dialing ##8778# from your dialer and make sure the second option USB, is set to PDA and not modem. Also are you using the usb cable that came with your phone? Ive used some other cables I had laying around and while it would charge it wouldnt recognize in odin or as a storage device. It was visible that the cable werent going as far in as the factory cable.

Thanks and ##8778# had the PDA selected. I have used 3 different factory cables and still a no go. Maybe I pushed it in further or something. I am so clueless with this and its really buggin me that I cant figure out whats wrong. I might just have to get another one.
Do you have an aftermarket battery installed? IE not a sumsung official? Inoticed aftermarkets don't register sometimes and cause odd issues

Naw just the one it came with
I am seeing no phone USB after 2.2 update.
This page says to select TWLauncher and then connect. That worked for me.
I am using Ubuntu Linux, and the page says same connection error for Windows.
Try pulling the battery out before plugging it in and hold volume down when you plug it in that's how I got odin to see mine also try diff ports on the comp if you haven't already

Login to TWLauncher and it popped up asking if I wanted USB storage in use while connected. It was instantly found by Linux and then copy was fine. It must have been a first time setting, for now the USB connection question appears what ever Home Manager I am using.
Seems first use of the camera prompted a firmware update today also.
Hey guys
I couldn't get an answer to my question in any topic, so I decided to post here and ask for help.
I bought a Galaxy 5 from my neighbor and I didn't test it 'cause it was with the battery discharged.
I charged the battery to 100% I tried to turn on my galaxy.
But every time I try to turn on the smartphone, It get stuck on a screen with samsung logo and with the text: "Ramdump mode (arm9 mode)".
I just tested it in 4 computers but everytime I connect the phone to usb it just starts to charge the battery.
I can enter in download mode to put a stock rom on it, but it doesn't help me so much 'cause if my phone isn't recognized in the PC and in Odin, I can't do nothing.
So that's the situation: My smartphone isn't recognized by the computer (windows don't at least show any message about usb device connected). When I plug it in usb it just starts to charge.
So I'm asking for help.
Is there any way to put a bootable android in my microSD that starts automaticlly the installation when I turn on the phone ?
Thanks
Anyone haver a solution for this problem?
Hey guys, so I just came across a Nexus S GT-i9020T but it has a problem! The problem is right after it's turned on, it immediately goes into "Downloading... Do not turn of target!!!" with an android sweeping up icon... Now I just bought this off a guy and he only told me that the last thing he did was install some Cybermod 9 skank mod??? he claims the phone was working fine until he went to reboot and got this Downloading.. screen from there on out.. Now I can't even get the phone recognized on my Windows 7 computer but I'm really new to this stuff and thought if i could get this fixed i'd have a cheap new/used Nexus S.. I've tried the Volume Up + Power hold, and other variants and cannot get the phone into bootloader. Also, when I plug in the USB cable there's no charging icons, and it seems the battery is getting low and dying so I'm going to buy an external battery charger to keep it topped up while I try to repair it. Please tell me what I can try to get this thing working! Thank you!

check if the volume down is stuck. power button + volume down get you into download mode.
Not quite sure how to tell if the volume down button is stuck... I can hear it clicking when i push it.. Hitting around the volume button area doesnt seem to do anything.. Any key combo I hold always brings me into "Downloading.."
Edit: I opened up the phone and the volume keys seem to be working fine
Do you have the Android SDK? I'd think if you got those, you'd be able to issue the ADB commands and reboot into the bootloader that way.
Yes i have the Android SDK installed properly, however i'm not sure if i have the correct USB Drivers since i just got this phone and havent ever hooked it up to my PC before.. I've worked on my Galaxy S and Galaxy Nexus before, but i've since updated USB drivers to 1.4.8..... I tried 'adb devices' in a terminal and can't get the PC to recognize the phone at all, but thats about all i know for commands. What else can I try??
ok so i found a list of commands, tried 'adb reboot-bootloader' but its saying error: device not found... Now my battery is almost completely dead and phone only comes on for 3-4 seconds so i think i need to go buy that external battery charger before i continue because the phone will NOT charge via usb cable attached to phone..
I haven't updated my SDK in ages and it still recognizes my device. In my case, sometimes my USB ports act funky and won't recognize my phone. I'd have to either restart the PC or switch ports and it would work. Let us know if you get the phone fully charged up

So i picked up the charger and now have a charged battery! Still not sure how to get the PC to recognize the phone though... Was I right in installed the 1.4.8 Samsung mobile phone driver or is there another driver i need to use like pdanet???
OK!! Got the PC to recognize the phone being plugged in but it's still showing up as "Unknown Device" under device manager.. I'm guessing this means I don't have the right drivers, or?? Also I'm not getting anywhere under terminal "adb devices" or "adb reboot-bootloader".. saying error: device not found
Install the drivers through pdanet

The problem with PDAnet is that I can't actually turn the phone on to enable debugging so PDAnet doesn't fully install - unless i'm mistaken but it still shows as Unknown device in device manager
Anyone??????? Just to recap, on my Nexus S when i turn the phone on i'm stuck on the "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen (can't use volume up + power) always goes to download screen.. The phone shows up as "Unknown Device" in device manager.. Odin doesnt pick it up, adb devices shows no devices... Ive tried a few different drivers such as pdanet, samsung 1.4.8, with no success.... Please someone must know a solution?
go go linux, bit of a pita but the drivers shouldn't give any problems
I have ubntu on a usb stick already but i don't really know how to use it all that well... will it have drivers already or do i need to download some linux usb samsung driver?
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
this has the info on the driver bit see configuring usb access, the rest would just be getting adb and fastboot for linux
I really can't figure out Ubuntu.. i even seemed to brick it somehow off a usb stick.. try to boot it and just get a black screen after the UBUNTU logo loading screen... man i'm hopeless lol
Aaaaaaaaaanybody?

OK after a few hours of messing around I got Ubuntu up and running, installed JDK, SDK, and still no devices found when i bring up a terminal and type 'adb devices' while the Nexus S is on and in downloading do not turn off target!! mode.... Tried Unbrickable resurrector with no success saying it can't find device either... I know I have usb drivers and adb installed correctly because i can plug in my Gnex and get the adb device # no problem... This is super frustrating!!

Wish I knew of another way to help. I'm out of ideas.
I have 2 Samsung Infuse and, like the topic title says, 1 wont enter into download mode.
I test with 2 different cables and got the same: when I connect the cable, the PC show me the "USB doesn't recognize..." message (without inserting the battery yet) and when I insert it (with buttons pressed or not) the phone just powers on.
However the other phone works like a charm.
Both have stock 2.2.1 and work 100%... the problem with that one is when I try to put it in Download Mode.
What's the solution here?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
did you try on another pc with kies freshly installed?
Did you check if the volume buttons work on the infuse that isn't working?

Hi guys,
a friend of mine gave my his GT-N8000 with this issues:
if connected to PC, it isn't recognized, it doesn't seem to charge, even if connected to the AC wall. Of course, nothing happens if I try to turn it on by pressing POWER button.
Is there anything I can try to do to unbrick it?
Thanks in advance for the reply!
UPDATE: I opened the back, plugged the usb cable from the GT N8000 to the pc (with Windows 10) and pressed on the pcb: the pc recognized it as cdc abstract control model (acm) first, then installed Samsung Mobile USB modem and another driver for Samsung Mobile MTP device.
if connected to PC, it isn't recognized, it
>> No Samsung USB drivers installed .
it doesn't seem to charge,
> Dead battery replace or try leaving on charge 24 hours .

Unfortunately it's not a driver problem: I have all drivers installed and another Note 10.1 I have is been recognized fine.
I don't think it's a battery problem. I recharged it for more than 24 hours, but without results.
I have a usb hub that has leds on it. When something is connected to the hub, the led lights up. Well, when I connect this GT-N8000 no lights come up at first. To make it being recognized from the pc, I have to play with volumes buttons and power button. Then I can make it recognized, but still nothing happens on screen.

I used the hub just because it has a light on every usb port and it makes me understand if the tablet is recognized or not by the system. By the way, I tried to connect it straight to the mainboard usb and I still got the same problem.
