Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G from Wind. I was following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956025 , trying to root my phone from my desktop. All went well until when I went to flash and it would have a error like this: ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
So I went to my laptop and decided to root it from there, but it wouldent even detect the phone saying: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device. What is the problem?
I tried fixing the drivers in the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2 but it never installed any drivers. When I do to Zadig SAMSUNG USB Composite Device never appears. This is true for both computers. When I connect to download mode it says device not recognized.
Read the stickies the Android Development section. Try to use a different USB port, but first you need to put your phone in download mode for it able to detect.

I tired different port and it is in download mode.
Does your computer able to detect it normally as a storage device? Sometimes it's the cable. If not reinstall the Samsung drivers found in xda forums. Search for it.

Thanks for trying to help, I did some digging around and found out that when I went to install the Heimdall drivers, SAMSUNG USB Composite Device was actually Gadget Serial. Everything worked out fine.

im stuck on the samsung galaxy s 19000 boot screen and i can go into download mode but not into recovery... but the problem is that i cant get my phone to connect to computer thru kies or anything and i tried using another cable and computer...can anybody help me plaese??
Did you install the drivers for your phone on the computer? I was in a similar situation with a Samsung fascinate. I got stuck on a boot/flash loop. What I did was look for the phones drivers, installed them on the computer, get it into download mode (with the android shoveling), looked for the Odin software, looked for the fascinates factory rom, and flashed it through Odin.

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

so after combing through the forums and removing drivers and readding them, even tried using different version of kies and different version of the samsung drivers, and nothing.
when i plug the phone in with usb debugging on and unknown sources checked, my installation popup in windows says :
samsung mobile usb composite device - ready to use
usb mass storage device - ready to use
samsung mobile usb modem - ready to use
samsung lte usb device - ready to use
samsung lte usb card ussb device - ready to use
i should have samsung adb drivers listed there, but nothing. i can't get my phone to go into debugging mode, therefore i can't root. someone please help. do i have to do a factory reset? anyone having same issues as i am? i even tried on different computers and nothing. what am i doing wrong? when running zerg rush, it just hangs and limbos without doing anything. any help would be appreciated.

My pc itself isn't showing the phone in the device manager nor is my phone recognizing that it is plugged into the pc except for showing a charge. Idk what else to try...any help is appreciated.

Are you referring on how to connect S3 to a PC so that you can Odin the phone?
If so, you have to install Android SDK on your PC first. Here's a link. Do a YouTube search as well....there are how-to videos that will walk you thru it.

What operating system are you using? Have you tried disabling any internet/virus/malware protection software temporarily? This may help alleviate your issue. If on Windows, do you hear an audible sound when you connect/disconnect your phone to the PC? Also, try different USB ports if you haven't already. Windows is a fickle beast sometimes
USB Drivers are let your PC communicate with your device.
If you are executing some ADB Commands, you will need USB Drivers installed which will let the ADB server on your PC communicate with the ADB client on your device. If there are no USB Drivers installed on your PC, you will not be able to perform activities on your device via the PC.
First of All I would recommend you to install Universal ADB Driver Installer.The Universal ADB Driver installer detects your phone and installs the ADB drivers for it.This tool developed by drsmart is your solution to the “device not found” error you might get on executing ADB commands.

Thanks for the info. I tried the univ adb driver installer but it showed I already had the right driver installed. Windows explorer can see my phone but other apps like HTC Sync or myphoneexplorer can't. This only happened after I rooted & installed a new rom. Maybe the rom is faulty...

Here we go, I have the Galaxy 3 d2att I747
Rooted
I was running CM 10.2 with latest nightly, I think 20131208 and decided to update to CM11 via my Cyanogenmod updater but before I did I had read somewhere I should change from CWM recovery to TWRP so I downloaded Goomanager and updated to the TWRP version for my phone then went for the KitKat update and thats when the trouble began.
I am now stuck in a boot loop even if I try to boot into TWRP all I get is the TWRP boot logo then straight into boot loop again. I am almost positive I did a factory wipe as well as cache/dalvik.
Not being able to use TWRP to get into recovery I thought I would just use Odin but I can't get any of my laptops to recognize the phones USB, I just get the windows usb driver error and have tried to install the drivers manually via device manager using my samsung 7 chronos with windows 8.1 and my acer with windows 7. I updated drivers using Samsung Kies and from the website, no luck.
I also ventured into an area that I have no expertise in but I guess thats how we learn so I downloaded the Android SDK thinking I could use it to download and install the google USB drivers that way, but I can't get out of boot loop to make sure USB debugging is checked. The only thing I can access is the stock download mode which would be great if I could use the USB connection.
What am I missing? Any suggestions?
USB Not Recognized Error
I noticed that my phone suddenly stopped being recognized on both my Windows 7 and Win8 laptops. I have been trying to fix it with the drivers but to no avail. However, I plugged my phone in with a different USB cord and voila it was recognized and working. Maybe this could possibly be a simple fix.
My computer stopped recognizing my Skyrocket
Hi Everyone,
I also am having trouble with my win 7 computer recognizing my Skyrocket suddenly. I have been using several KitKat roms and they have been working just fine, except for some reported bugs that the CM devs are working on. I even was able to connect to the computer and explore both my internal and external drives. Then suddenly that stopped and the computer gave me a need to get drivers warning. I've tried to download drivers from Samsung and the computer says they are already installed. I also tried the universal driver download and got the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Like the others on this forum, I wouldn't be able to odin if I got in trouble.
Thanks for your concideration,
drewfs7270
I switched to a different rom and now it's working again !

soft brick
I face bad experienced, the tablet can not boot ( after install TWRP ) but enable to enter the fastboot mode and can be detected by the computer as android adb interface but adb can't communicated with the tablet. (list of devices atached)
I do have a backup file ( I make it before soft brick, I make backup using dd command, because I don't have cwm/twrp recovery ).... but how to flash it ? Tablet chipset is wonder media 8980 OS android 4.2.2
I can not flash it by adb/fastboot.
Maybe someone here can give me a little guide for how to....
I really appreciate for your kindness
Hey, I made an expirience, which might help other users as well.
I have a Sony device (Z1C) and use Windows 10, maybe this will help for other brands and for other Windows 10 users.
I installed drivers for my device and was able to use adb. When I put the phone into fastboot mode, it was not recognized anymore. I found out, Sony has a seperate (updated, maybe?) driver for fastboot mode. When I tried to install this, the driver was not signed and Windows refused to install it. However, you can enter the UEFI (successor of BIOS) and enable installation of unsigned drivers (at own risk). Then I was able to install the fastboot driver and controll my phone in fastboot mode as well as in adb mode.
In conclusion: You might think you installed drivers, because you did, but maybe you did not.
Even on LineageOS page, many people fail to mention that, you DON'T and SHOULDN'T install any generic or universal ADB driver if you have Samsung device. As you can just install Samsung USB Drivers officially from Samsung site. Samsung USB Drivers already contain ABD interface driver just fine so Universal ADB driver is redundant for Samsung phones.
