CP1Q installation options?

I'm having issues with using my micro USB port and its very difficult to get Odin to recognize my phone.
Is there a way to use CWM to install EP1Q or is it only available through Odin?

Unfortunately it's Odin only, have you tried using a different USB port, or putting the battery back in after connecting to Odin? Also be sure it's an OEM cable you're using

Yeah I have tried a lot of different things. And a couple different computers. Same errors. None of the computers will recognize it. I have a replacement on the way from warranty, but now I have the issue of trying to return it back to stock form as well.

I saw the title and got excited, hoping there was another gb leak...
All I can think is try a different computer, which you've already done.

Help with odin.. Please

So I'm trying to recover my wifes sgs4g with odin, but for some reason odin won't recognize the phone while in dl mode. When its in android or cwm it recognizes it fine. Anyone know a good trick? Thanks

Maybe try a different cable. Longer cables, especialy, are known to not work right. See if the same cable works (in d/l mode) with a different phone or on a different PC, if possible.

Use the second link in my signature to recover. Read notes and all. Good luck.
Thanks for the help guys. For some reason reinstalling the drivers did the trick.

Flash stock rim without computer?

Is there any way to flash stock rom without the use if Odin? Computer won't recognize phone and I have to send iT back for warranty after trying everything I can think of.

Can you get to d/l mode or recovery mode?

It's not clear what state your phone is in but if you can boot and have root mobile odin should work.

You can try to flash the below official ICS Stock roms via CWM, then try to reconnect with PC to flash via ODIN for complete stock.

Note: These roms are deodexed, so it is not unmodified stock.
Yes I can get to d/l mode and recovery

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Bummer.....You've cleaned the USB connector, tried a different cord, make sure the port on the PC is working, enabled the USB connection on the phone?

I tried 3 different oem Samsung cables and 4 different comps. Also different usb ports. It will recognized my captivate but not my skyrocketed. This all started about 2 weeks ago. its says " usb not recognized, usb device may have malfunctioned" something like that.

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Hmm...pick a free one. can't hurt. BTW it doesn't have anything to do with your virus checker does it?
Disable your virus protection. You sure you have your phone in download mode? Can your phone reach download mode?

USB debugging & download mode not working

I have an infuse on uclb3 and I decided to flash aokp. I downloaded the rooted heimdall package and my phone wont show up in download mode.
So I decided to root on PC but USB debugging wont show up at all. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
So you are in ulcb3 stock without root or cwm right?
You made sure your phone was entering download mode when trying to use heimdall?
Edit: in settings > applications> development there should be an option to toggle usb debugging on or off
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
I know both of those but the adb icon in the top doesn't show up and download mode doesn't show up in Odin or heimdall
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Sorry I'm not quite understanding you :/
An adb icon where exactly?
For odin or heimdall to detect your phone you must first place it in download mode by:
-Remove battery and put it back.
-While holding vol up and down, connect your device to the Pc
If it still does not recognize your device then it could be the drivers
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
I got drivers installed and I can connect and transfer files just debug/download modes don't work or something
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
There SHOULD be an adb icon in status bar when USB debugging is enabled there's none on mine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Okay, so you say you are trying to root your device.. using superoneclick?
You made sure you have usb debugging on? Does the program return any error?
Please I need you to be as detailed as possible to be able to tell what is happening and to be able to give you better assistance.
Edit: agreed, if it is on it should appear right next to the "usb connected" when your phone is connected to a Pc. You double checked it is switched On in settings?
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
I'm not using super one click just adb for temp root usb connected woeks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
May I ask why you want temp root instead of fully rooting it?
To obtain temp root through adb is a bit complicated and it requires using a series of commands to push our phones exploit and run it from within.

Well that should be because of Usb Debugging not being turned on..
Follow the instructions here and let me know if you succeed. If it does not, tell me what the program returns or if becomes stucked at some point.
It just waits for device. Tried it yesterday

Since it is not detecting it, try reinstalling your drivers using the ones the thread I posted has linked
USB Debugging is on right?
Done. Nope. Uninstall. Reboot. Instal again. Nope

Strange.. Well that leaves us with odin or heimdall..
If after entering download mode neither of them still recognize it, then the problem could be the usb cable or the usb port
Oh I never thought of cables I will get my moms and try. At the fair so will try at home

Andros, thanks a lot for all the help it was awesome of you.
I have tried a 5th computer and it works! well download mode does. havent tried usb debugging anymore

Computer USB connection

I have a galaxy s 4g I've been trying to root for her, its on 2.3.6. Every time I plug into the windows 7 PC it says USB device has malfunctioned. Pretty sure I installed the right drivers, but I could be wrong. I've also tried on my old winxp laptop but the same thing happens. The device starts charging but nothing else. Any ideas?

Have you tried multiple usb cables?
Yes I have actually
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Did you install the USB drivers found on xda or from somewhere else? There are drivers for x64 and x86. If you installed it correctly and put your phone on USB mode, you should able to see and access the SD card on your computer.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I think I installed them from a website I googled. Do you have a link for the correct ones? Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
There are a couple of ways. I use Odin which requires a different set than heimdall. With odin, Samsung's program kies or mini kies will load them up for you.
Heimdall (a one click program that bhuven & lumin30 have put together) will load up another set.
These two sets of drivers are known to clash.
Not sure of the direction that your going with the phone, but, if it's just to connect, Samsung mini kies would be the "manufacturer's recommended" route.

I was just trying to root with super one click, have had luck with it in the past. Will try installing kies and its drivers and using Odin tonight
