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.

Hello all I've looked through these forms and goggled and I can't seem to find any answers so I hope someone here can help me. I have the 3113 Tab 2. I rooted it with CM9 9.1.0 build. I wanted to return the tab to stock but when I use the usb cable my pc doesn't see it. It will charge but never shows at a mass storage or anything. I have reinstalled Win 7 and loaded Samsung Keis drivers from Samsung website and still no luck. I have to different Usb cables and I have used them both on my desktop and laptop and the pc never recognizes the tablet. So I cannot use Odin to return my tab to stock. Not sure what else to try so if anyone has a solution to this please let me know. I'm going to order a new usb cable just encase that is the problem but other than that I don't know. Please if someone can point me in a direction that would really help. Thanks in advance.
I had a similar issue just installing the "drivers " as a stand alone thing on my Win7 x64, But when I re-installed the full PC Kies software package things worked just fine for me. Now anytime I flash a new ROM, Windows update searches and installs what I need automagically.
Hope that works for you ?
Having a similar issue. I rooted but haven't installed CM as yet. My laptop knows that something is plugged in and my tab knows that it's been plugged in. For some reason the disk drives (SDcard and extSDcard) don't show up and autoplay never happens. I left the Kies drivers on upon uninstalling it and that didn't help. Yesterday Windows Update downloaded a Samsung updated that worked up until I shut down my laptop. Pretty weird stuff.
When I plug in my p3113 into the computer while in download mode, it tries to install driver software, it does, then tells me the device was not successfully installed, I have Samsung USB drivers installed from kies, I've tried different usb ports to no avail.
I've been rooting phones since the G1, I've been through this process several times with several Samsung devices and have never had this problem, so is my computer just old or what?
I am running a fresh install of W7 Ultimate service pack 1. Don't come at me with searching either because I have and haven't found a solution.
Would like to get this done so my kids can continue downloading games, don't really wanna have to use someone elses computer but that is what it is gonna have to come down to unless someone here knows the answer to my problem.
Seems you know what you are doing. Only thing I can think of....did you turn USB debugging on? I believe it needs to be on for Odin.
Also do you have the proper drivers? If you install Kies and plug in your phone, your comp will download the needed drivers for your device, perhaps this may help
I had to install the 4.3 firmware on my S3 since it got soft-bricked, but it seems that even though I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and installed Odin, my phone won't connect to Odin. I tried using different charging wires and different USB ports, and that doesn't work either. Even my friend's phone, which was an S3 as well, managed to connect to Odin with the same charging wires. Is it something to do with my phone? I need help with this.
My S3 updated to 4.3 (locked bootloader) and I can't make it connect via USB, it won't connect. I've tried everything, every link I can find, reghacks, drivers (countless installs/etc). I know what I'm doing, I've been using computers longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.
The thing is the device isn't telling the PC what type of Hardware it is, let alone the PC having drivers. I actually think my phone is toast - I'm glad it still charges and you can (if you're not rooted) root via Towelroot without a PC.
Good luck.
Dear,
My Galaxy S6 SM-G920F with lollipop 5.1.1
AP : G920FXXU2BOG8

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?
Hi Everyone,
My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 stuck on Samsung logo during boot. I cannot even go to recovery mode (power + volume up doesnot work). I can only go to ODIN mode. I downloaded odin tool and corresponding firmware from a website, but my problem is that PC donot recognize my tablet now. It doesnot appear as device or recognised by KIES. I reinstalled KIES (not KIES 3, although KIES3 is also installed on the machine to see but still getting the message "USB Device not recognized". Just to let you know that my 3 samsung mobile phones (S3, S4 and S6) are working fine and perfectly recognized by PC/KIES/Smartswitch
The tablet can be charged without an issue but it is not recognized at all by PC through USB. Looks like a dead end for me. Any help is highly appreciated as otherwise tablet was working fine until this problem occured. My tablet UK model is GT-N8010 and out of warranty.
Thanks
Fayyaz
Change usb cable.
Try another port
Try another PC

Download PROPER DRIVERS. Usually they are downloaded by kies but sometimes, they don't work. In case of that, you have to download samsung drivers by yourself. I think you can find it in here or simply google it.
Here is an another issue with laptops that I also encountered: When you plug in, despite you having drivers, pc doesn't recognize it or constantly the device connects and disconnects every 2 seconds. In that case, you need to update your bios version. However, this case is not likely.(If you are not bad luck brian like me) So focus on driver installation.
