Nexus S 4G Won't Be Recognized By PC - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys.
I recently flashed the wrong firmware through ODIN onto my NS4G (Nexus S Original bootloader.tar instead of 4G). This in turn left my phone with constant No Service. Now I'm trying to flash the right one, but my phone won't be detected by ODIN, or my PC. It only shows that it's Charging (USB).
I've tried installing Samsung USB Drivers from them and PDANet Drivers. None of them worked.
Please help. Thanks

[Q] Bricked 2.3.5 i9000 - samsung galaxy s vibrant

Hello Members,
I am new to this site and gone thru lots of forums, youtube and so on for my problem and more I am reading I am unable to find my answer correctly so decided to get your inputs.
I bought Bell - Galaxy S Vibrant 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) phone from Kijiji. Tried to unlock, mistakenly I followed 2.3.3 procedure here on xda to unlock. Phone bricked but was able to go to download mode.
I tried to flash the phone and odin stopped in between, kept as it is for a long time and nothing happened. I pulled it out from USB cable that was connected on the computer and phone bricked again which means now it doesn't even go to download mode at all.
1) Now I am getting a computer and cellphone and in centre a yellow triangle on the screen.
2) Phone does not get to the download mode
3) When I connect thru USB to the laptop, it doesn't detect the phone. Neither kies nor odin. Tried doing on another laptop as well and no luck.
Any suggestions how to fix my phone? Thanks in advance!!
I'm had a pretty similar problem with a Tmobile Vibrant today with 2.2. Apparently you don't need to be in download mode for odin to work, as long as it has a com showing.

[Q] Cant connect to computer HELP

I just bought a skyrocket privately and it will not connect to the computer. I tried Kies, usb debugging, drivers. I connected a friends galaxy s2 (T-mobile) and it worked fine. The phone only charges while connected to usb. Im not sure what to do at this point because i was going unlock the phone for tmobile by rooting it but i cant connect to computer
if the skyrocket is running an ICS rom you have to go into system settings/more/USB utilities and press connect storage to PC. i had this issue yesterday after flashing an ICS rom and those instructions fixed my issue.

[Q] Phone not recognized on PC

When I connect my phone to my PC, it charges perfectly fine but it doesn't get recognized by the PC. I installed the Samsung USB drivers, tried different wires, and tried different USB ports. My phone still doesn't get recognized by the PC.Since my phone has been having a lot of problems lately on 4.3, I needed to connect my phone to Odin because i need to flash the stock 4.3 firmware onto my phone from Odin. But like I said before, my phone doesn't get recognized by the PC.
Because this happens, do I need to get my charging port replaced?

how to bring back p3100 (solved)

I usually keep flashing ROMS.
This time in sheer confidence I didnt charge the battery full.
I was switching from mokee 4.4 to CM11.
I wiped everything for a fresh install and unfortunately CM11 didnt install.
The tab restarted and now it wont go into recovery. what just happened?
It is just showing logo and I cannot get into Odin more either.
The tab had about 30% battery when it shut off and I cannot reach a charger for it for the next 4 hours.
Can I switch it off in any way to save battery?
the phone has switched off now. Is service center the only alternative? the tab was rooted with mokee installed.

Try charging it when you have time and then try re flashing the stock Rom before taking it to service center
will the tab 2 charge without a recovery or ROM in place?

I think it should
Ok, the tab2 is charging. thank you
I installed all the necessary drivers and odin and recovery on my laptop.
The tab2 is giving error on pc (this device wont start) mtp uSB. THe tab is stuck at 'samsung p3100' logo.
If it is any help, I have a working p3100 also running on stock firmware.
what should be my next step? I think I can manage if only I can get odin to recognize my phone or get into recovery (both of which seem to be missing.)

Try reinstalling drivers
@shsagnik : Thank you very much for helping out.
I got installed all drivers by using the other P3100. But when I connect the bricked p3100, pc doesnt install MTP USB drivers. Under device manager it says " failed to start".
ODIN doesn't recognize it. either.
My mistake was I flashed everything on the phone including the internal memory.
PS: Can I force ODIN to recognize my phone?
Ok, my almost bricked device is back and runnning.
This might just help somebody. but my android handset was on a logo only mode. something in the combination of
Attaching it to pc (windows 7 64-bit)
re-installing and rejigging drivers
trying to let ODIN identiify
connecting via Samsung kies (I also tried restore on kies).
connecting a working android phone instead of the dead phone with pc to find and install drivers.
worked.
PS: I also let it sit dead powered off (worked only when charger was attached) for a whole day before trying to boot into recovery or bootlaoder (both worked).

[Q] Samsung Drivers aren't properly detected / Download Mode Problems.

Hello people, I have a particulartly weird problem. I have Samsung S7562, Or S Duos. I had Stock Rom 4.0.4, and decided to flash CosmicRom 3 on it, so of course, I'm rooted and I have Clockwork Mod 5 (Custom version). Also, I have USB Debugging On. One day I decided to go back to stock using Odin, and I got stuck. Here's what I tried:
-Connect the Phone to the PC with 3 cables, using 2 different ports
-Pull out the battery in Download Mode, Boot Windows 7 64 Bit with Phone plugged in
-Turning off USB Debugging
-Installing Kies oddly doesn't work, and also I can't uninstall Samsung Drivers, which is also weird (It crashes).
-I restarted my PC and did all these on my second PC, but no success.
I think that the problem is the driver. When my phone is in Download Mode, it gets recognized as a Samsung Modem, with a modem picture, and it gives me Error Code 10, even though I have proper CDC Drivers installed with which I connect it to Odin. What's the problem here?
