So im in a huge dilemma right now. My phone cant even connect to ANY computer with a USB regardless of what cord I use. Each computer says "USB Device is not Recognized" i've done multiple wipes and reflashes and it didnt help. So then I installed mobile odin and flashed a completely stock TW image through the app (since I cant acces ODIN on PC) and that didnt help either. So now that i've done that, I cant even root, unlock, or do anything with the device because the USB connection with the computer WILL NOT WORK. I called vzw tech support and they had no idea to fix it so they are sending me a replacement right now. Little did I know that my flash counter is at #2 and i cant even reset because I cant root my device anymore. Does anyone have any idea what I could possibly do at this point? Should i send in this phone and hope vzw doesnt look at the flash counter and refuse to let me keep replacement?
Could you Odin flash a rooted stock image from mrRobinson's thread in the dev section? Then run Triangle Away to reset your flash counter.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers on your computer, also, have you tried a different cord?
Well with mobile odin I don't think your computer will ever recognize the device that must first be completely removed. Them make sure the device is selected as MTP

So since I am not able to access odin through my computer because my S3's charge port is malfunctioned, I had to use Mobile Odin and I downloaded the no wipe factory image but I forget to have "EverRoot" checked to keep root. So now I dont have root, and I cant access odin to reroot my phone therefore its basically a brick.

Yes, I have tried multiple cords and uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. My computer just doesnt recognize the device at all. I used my other family member's S3 and works just fine. So you know its a hardware problem.

Yes that is the case. Which is why I am getting a replacement device which is on its way. But what Im trying to figure out is how I can reset my flash counter without root since I can root my device without a working USB plug to my pc
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
i'm afraid there's no way to root a device other than odin or a superboot, and both require a pc
i guess you didn't have a custom recovery any longer after reverting to stock, did you?

What do you mean by that? I had twrp before I flashed the no wipe stock image through mobile Odin. then I did a factory reset. One other thing it does a show an unlocked symbol on the Samsung boot logo. How do I get rid of that
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
i have no idea what the unlocked symbol means as my first and only android phone is an acer
what i meant is that flashing stock ROMs usually ends up with the custom recovery being overwritten with the stock one upon booting the ROM
if you still had twrp installed after flashing, you could have used that to root by installing an update zip with su binary and superuser app inside
EDIT: i made one when i lost root by setting wrong permissions to the su binary, i can tune it to work with a sgs3 and attach it here, just in case it comes out useful

Just a few minutes ago, odin somehow recognized my phone, but i plugged it out because it happened after a long time. I am trying to plug it in right now to multiple usb ports, but it is not recognizing my device anymore. why is this happening?

ok so i downloaded to latest version of odin, but my device gets recognized twice on ID:COM. (i get two yellow boxes saying 0:[COM4] and 1:[COM5]). what should i do? also i only loaded the PIT and PDA file. do i need to load any other files?
can you uninstall the drivers. reboot the computer. then check your device manager to make sure it is completely removed. i recommend using a program called ccleaner to wipe your computer cache and especially fix your registry. then i would reboot again. install the drivers from the bible thread. once that is done, open odin 1.85 and try plugging in the phone in download to see if it is recognized. if it is, odin the KC1 bootloaders found in fb's gb starter pack. once that is done, odin whitehawk's KD1. this sounds like a computer problem more than a phone problem.
if you are really in a bind and you need to send it into tmobile, i can do this for you.

A few potential options, hope I didn't skip anything:
The superuser app can be removed from within the Market. If it was rooted with SuperOneClick (SOC), I believe you can use SOC to remove it. Given that you're on KD1 now you can probably get the KD1 stock firmware from samfirmware.com (you have to register, though). Or, you could flash Raver's the stock KJ6 via ODIN or you could use Kies Mini to get to stock KJ6.

You could also use the KJ6 Heimdall One-Click to write KJ6 and bootloaders to clear out the 'gremlins'
Also, there is an app called: "Bluetooth Perm Test". I am not familiar with this app, so should i delete it? Because tmobile might find out the phone was rooted if this app is installed.
If you're sending it back, do a factory data reset & go into recovery mode to wipe the caches just to be safe.

I'm not sure about root but it will remove non-factory installed apps & user data. It will not remove anything on your sdcard, so if you're sending that back too then you'll want to format it.

My wife's Samsung Exhibit II 4G has a broken USB port so I am getting a warranty replacement from T-mobile.
I rooted her phone, installed CWM Recovery and a custom ROM.
Few questions:
1. Does T-mobile check for root or custom installs?
1a. If so, is there anyway to return the phone to stock without access to ODIN?
I have done a factory reset and wiped /system from within CWM Recovery
2. What else can I do?
Do you have backup of stock OS?If you do then try restoring to it.

Mobile Odin Pro could flash the stock firmware for you. After that you'll probably need to get a jig to clear your counter on your phone. All carriers check to see if you phone is rooted before servicing.

Assuming your wife's phone is remotely similar to mine, in download mode on the top left corner there are some stats on whether you have flashed a custom kernel or anything. You need a jig to clear those stats. Also using the jig will remove the yellow triangle upon boot on rooted phones, I'm not sure how your phone works though but they are pretty similar.

Isn't that only for some Samsung devices? Do all Samsung phones have that counter?
Ok so I've been rooted and unlocked for a while now, but stayed with the stock rom as when I tried out Synergy Nightlies it gave me some errors. So I went to try out CleanRom 2.1, people liked it and I didn't notice any flashing errors. So I flashed it through CWM 6.0.1 and it gave me the yellow exclamation mark saying I had unauthorized data on my phone. So I followed the sticky on how to unbrick my phone using the 2 boot loaders and the root66 stock image. My issue is that when running the root66 stock image through Odin it fails at _XmitData_Read, which seems to be somewhere in system.img.ext4. I've tried rebooting the computer, the phone, Odin, it just doesn't work. So when I reboot my phone after the failure I get Odin auto loading saying:
Odin Mode
Product Name: SCH-I535
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Then an image of a phone, 2 dots, a yellow exclamation, 2 dots and a computer are shown with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Anyone able to help me?
can you still get to odin mode? also if you have kies installed on the computer erase it.

Kies isn't installed on the computer and yes I am still able to get into Odin Mode.
I'm under the impression that "unauthorized software" message comes from the locked bootloader (if I'm wrong about that someone plese correct me.)
Sounds like you're functional enough to be able to Odin back to stock and go from there - that's what I'd try. See the stickied thread in the Q&A forum.
I would run the FULL VRALF stock image through ODIN to return to stock. That is always the safest way out of a sticky situation.
Thanks guys, according to another post the version of EZ-Unlock I used most likely gave a false report and never actually unlocked my phone. The problem with going back to stock, which if what I'm trying to do, is that it fails.
Could be an USB issue - an intermittent connection would be most likely to cause problems while sending the system partition since that's the biggest. I've had problems using adb from time to time if I plug into one of the front-panel ports on my PC but no trouble with one on the back.
Maybe try switching ports or try a different cable ...
Actually what usb plug are you using on your computer? You should be using one in the back of your computer by the power supply. Seen the front jacks not work correctly for large transfers. Finally, try another usb cable.

Strange.... i was able to flash syergy on thefirst try. Never used odin during the whole process....
If youre rooted you need to make sure you have a custom recovery in place like cwm or twrp. Make sure you make a nand-backup.
I used casual to flash unsecure bootloader, with that and recovery in place you should be able to flash roms without any hitches....
I could never find a comprehensive guide on using odin so i never got around to testing it

So far I've tried 3 different USB cables and both a desktop, both front and back ports and a laptop, each one fails on the write of XmitData under system.img.ext4
I had a custom recovery installed and Odin is only being used to get me back to a stock rom, otherwise I did all my flashing under CWM 6.0.1 or twrp. I think the whole fake unlocked bootloader just hard bricked the software.
EDIT: Come to think of it I remember waking up to my phone in download mode. I think Verizon tried to install the update to my phone while I was sleeping. Granted it failed at the end, but I'm wondering if that did something to brick me now.
If you can get in download mode it can be saved. I woud re download the stock firmware or the 66, but personally i would go bone stock. You may just have a bad download.

Yea, I'm currently downloading at the speed of slug the newest update from the forums, will probably just redownload at home, since it's going to take over an hour >.<
EDIT:
Does anyone have a link for an older EZ-Unlocker, that is known to work, so that I don't get this problem yet again.
FIXED!
Ok, so using the newest stock rom from the dev forum worked. Can someone please give me a link to an old EZ-Unlocker so I can flash without worrying about another massive brick in my palm. I'm guessing that running the original root66 stock rom through dropbox somehow corrupted it.

I personally suggest not using the app if you already had trouble. Just root your phone using the Debug Root method in Development, download the aboot.img from Adam Outlers thread HERE to your phone, and run the commands at the very bottom in Terminal Emulater app (from the market).
That way you know for sure your bootloader is unlocked. This is what I have done and never had an issue.
Edit: Glad you got your issue resolved!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH-I727 / AT&T) that I cannot get to connect to a PC after weeks of trying. I have tried to read through hundreds of threads regarding this issue and it seems others have had similar issues but nothing quite like this.
When I connect my phone to a PC, it does charge but Windows XP or Windows 7 will not recognize the phone. Anytime it is connected an error pops up stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
So to clarify, I have tried the following suggestions from others to troubleshoot and try to narrow down the issue:
1.) I have tried 4 separate USB cables, including the original OEM Samsung brand data cable that came with the phone.
2.) I have tried 3 separate PC's (2 with Windows 7, 1 with Windows XP).
3.) I have installed Samsung Kies on all 3 PCs, uninstalled and reinstalled the program as well as the Samsung Drivers on multiple occasions.
4.) I have done a factory/data reset on the phone twice to see if this was an issue caused by other apps I've downloaded in the past.
5.) I have tried to use USB Debugging/Developer option and then connect the phone to no avail.
6.) I have tried USB Mass Storage option before connecting the phone.
7.) I have tried to connect the phone to a PC in Samsung's default recovery mode and still showed it was not a recognizable device.
8.) I have tried a friend's galaxy S3 on all cables and PC's mentioned above and Kies immediately recognizes her phone.
9.) I have attempted to clean the physical microusb port with a small brush to make sure the contacts were clean and not being blocked by something.
10.)I have done a battery pull and about 20+ phone resets for all above mentioned attempts.
Based on all of these attempts without any success, it seems to me that this being a PHONE hardware issue is highly probable. I've ruled out just about every other scenario and I'm wondering at this point if my phone's Micro USB port is fried somehow.
Has anyone heard of this or is this a reasonable possibility?
I have tried just about everything I can so far, if anyone has any other suggestions or has any information that may confirm my suspicion, please let me know.
This all came about in the past week due to Jelly Bean being finally released by AT&T / Samsung for the Skyrocket and unfortunately, this update only seems to be available via Kies and a direct data cable to a PC. I have tried to go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check for Updates (while connected to Wifi with a full battery) and the phone has told me 3 times over the past 3 days that my current Ice Cream Sandwich v4.0.4 Android is the most current software up to date. I'm guessing they're not planning on releasing Jelly Bean to the Skyrocket via OTA air updates....so now I'm stuck.

Well after getting into the details on the post, it looks like this is created for a phone that already has a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP installed. Since I do not have a USB port to use on this phone as of right now, is there any way to install a custom recovery on my phone without using USB?
I did download the stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean firmware directly on the phone's default directory already and it's sitting there in a zip format. If I'm not able to root and/or install a custom recovery without using a USB cable, would it be possible to install the stock firmware using the default samsung recovery mode?

Well I did find this older thread that will supposedly allow me to install CWM and root without using a USB cable or PC. I'm going to try this since you all have confirmed that I'm not able to install a stock firmware/rom using stock recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Edit - Didn't work, apparently this was for 4.0.3, not 4.0.4.
I'm going to need to figure out how to root and get CWM on my phone just to install Stock Jelly Bean all without using a USB cable. Still no luck so far.

It wouldn't work. Nothing will install in Android System Recovery <3e>. Everything I tried still came back with Signature Verification Failed.
I also tried lifting the "tongue" inside the usb port on the phone several times previously and that didn't work either. I must assume at this point the usb daughterboard or something inside is messed up.
Since stock recovery can't install any type of files and I can't connect the phone to a PC in any way and my phone is 100% stock without root or any custom recovery, I can only imagine I'm stuck in this situation. I have yet to see any solutions for getting root or installing CWM without having a USB connection that works. Unless I can do either of those things, it looks like I'm SOL for updating from ICS to JB.
If they had only made Jelly Bean an Over the Air update, none of this would be a problem really.

Too dangerous the ota bricks tons of people when they do it I can only assume at&t is tired of it and opts for kies only. Also you could buy a daughter board and replace it. It's a relatively easy fix.

So .... lesson learned here is that you CANNOT root a phone or install any custom recoveries such as CWM or TWRP without having a working USB connection. As a result, you CANNOT install any updates, stock firmwares and especially custom roms without the above.
Only option at this point is to order the replacement part for the USB port on the phone or to purchase a new phone (if it's outside of the warranty period).

No you need USB to root that's it technically. If you have root you can install a recovery IMG without a computer using a terminal emulator and dd commands.

yes and no, its the chicken and the egg kind of question, for the sr to get root u need to flash the su files, but u need to have a custom recovery to flash the su files. is there a way to get the su files onto the sr w/out a custom recovery? I haven't seen one yet unless there was a oneclick method which I never used

There is no one click available for 4.x forward.
I am wondering, however, if something like this would work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
Backstory:
Rooted my phone.
Having some issues.
Specifically, my computer not recognizing it (tried everything), huge battery drain on standby, random restarts, random bad lag.
Want to unroot.
Settings > Factory Reset.
Reboots.
Setup shows.
Enter the first stuff like wifi etc.
Checking for updates.....

Hmm. TWRP > Full Wipe.
Photos, etc.
Reboot.
Get through the wifi stuff again.
Skips the checking for updates thing. Neat.
Asks me for my name. I give it, obviously.
Setup screen lock. Done.
Sweet. This looks like it's gonna work. Looks like I solved the checking for updates thing.

The "Next >" button is not grayed out as if I could press it, but I cannot (well I can but it doesn't do anything).
Reflash stock firmware and root all over again also before you Reflash do a full wipe in twrp

Thanks for the reply. That's actually why I factory reset my phone in the first place. My PC won't recognize my phone. I've tried different cables, ports, and computers. It's not the drivers either. I've hit a wall pretty much.
Flash a rom in recovery. I'm hoping you still have a custom recovery.
Jovy's stock rom would be a good choice.

Then unroot the correct way.
Odin to latest stock firmware. Then go into stock recovery and factory reset so you don't get stuck at the splash screen.

mate I can't use Odin. That's the main problem here. I'd be fine if I could
My PC doesn't recognize my phone (I've tried different computers, factory resetting both, Different cables, ports, etc. Yes I have a stock samsung cable.)
Is there ANY other way to get stock firmware onto my phone?
I have TWRP still.

load up a stock rooted or any custom rom to usb and try flashing it from the usb sotrage just to keep you runninhg. Assuming you have twrp.

I have an OTG cable but it's not with me right now. I can try it tomorrow after 3-4pm ish
But, have you tried that on a rom after unrooting wrong? Flashing a rom could get you back to using odin

How can I flash any ROM?
Nothing will recognize my phone. I've used 3 different computers, 4 different cables, and every USB Port on each.
