[Q] PC Does Not Recognize Device and Another Dumb Thing I Did

I did a really, really dumb thing a few months ago. I flashed a wrong something or another to fix an issue I had with my keyboard crashing after flashing another wrong thing..
Anywho, I couldn't get the damn keyboard to stop crashing for the life of me, so I set out to FORMAT/ CLEAR EVERYTHING ON MY PHONE. Yikes.
At this point, I can boot into recovery(CWM) and DL mode, but my PC will not recognize my phone at all. I installed your S3 toolkit v7.0, hoping it would help, but nay.
I cannot boot fully into Android to allow usb debugging, etc.
I can mount and unmount internal sd, cache, etc, but no drivers are being installed because it is not being recognized.
I've uninstalled Kies, etc.
HALP!HALP!

If you boot into DL mode and run odin on your PC does it fail to see the device?

I'm waiting on my PC to free up again(currently on a Mac). I had not tried Odin because in the past I was unable to mount internal SD, which I understood was keeping it from being recognized. I instead thought the Toolkit would do the trick automatically, though I most likely had the wrong idea. Everything is mountable again (for some odd reason), so I will give it a go.
Could I accomplish downloading drivers and flashing rom to device using Odin alone? Or should I use the Toolkit?
Thanks!

Installing the drivers is independent from using odin. Install the drivers on the PC, fire up odin, connect phone (that has been booted into DL mode) and see if it connects. If it does, just flash a stock image and you are back in business.
You can use this driver http://d-h.st/vMk

Odin is not recognizing the device. Should I unmount or mount anything on the device for this to work properly? I have drivers installed.

[Q] question about phone driver and Odin in windows

I'm working on un-bricking my SPH-l710 S3. I am trying to use Odin in the process. I am wondering if odin is recognizing my phone. I included an attachment showing Odin and my device mgr. If the zero is before the port # does that mean the computer isn't recognizing the phone? I downloaded and installed the newest samsung drivers. If anyone know how I can fix this I sure would appreciate it!

Make sure you have the newest drivers installed on your pc..
1st make your phone go to download mode/odin mode then only your pc will recognize it...
(Press vol button+power button+home key simultaneously for going into download/odin mode...

I can't get the bootlaoders to download to the phone It fails every time. I'm going to try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125&page=1 I guess and see if I can get my phone back working again.

I think you should try universal adb drivers for your pc or u can download kingoroot app for your device in pc because when you install kingoroot app to your pc during installation process it will automatically install your phone drivers to your pc
Or you have to update your odin to latest version

I got the drivers to work now in Odin but when I try to load the boot loader I keep getting a fail. I originally tried to fix my phone, not booting in to recovery, by using Kies. Kies tried to download something to the phone when it booted to download mode the phone boots directly to download mode and still won't boot to recovery. Now I'm going to try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125&page=1 to fix it. Unless someone can tell me a better solution.

[Completed] Help! Seriously messed up ROM mod on Galaxy Tab 10.1

So I got this free Galaxy Tab 10.1, and tried adding a Custom ROM to help it run better, and be able to run some apps that the old android 3 os couldn't run. As of now, it has CWM v6.0.3.6 installed, as well as a KitKat ROM. This ROM seems to have been corrupted, and now the keyboard constantly stops working (receiving constant pop ups about it) and it no longer will connect to my PC via USB, although it still charges when it is plugged in.
I made a mistake when I was installing this ROM, and my backup stock ROM was never loaded onto the tablet.
My original thought was to use the install from sideload option to get a different ROM onto it, but it doesn't detect even in Recovery mode.
Odin does detect the device, so is there a way to use this utility to fix this problem? Or maybe some other option that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for the help

Greetings and welcome o assist. If odin detects your device then kies emergency firmware recovery should work, that will return your tablet to its original state. The other option is to flash a different rom through recovery, just download it to your sd card and then flash it
Good Luck

I booted the device into download mode, where it is detected by Odin. Kies can tell that something is connected, but it just continuously tries to connect. The device does not have an sd card slot, so there is no way for me to add a different rom to it.
EDIT: Kies does not detect anything being connected at all if the device is booted normally.

Additional update:
By using the calculator app to copy paste numbers, I've gotten the device connected to my phone's hotspot, along with my laptop. Perhaps there is some way to force a file download over wifi? The device shows up in my network places on my laptop, but the folder is empty.

If you start kies and select emergency firmware recovery it will ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it. Does kies recognise it then?

Problem resolved, I was able to locate a Samsung release 4.0.4 for my device in .md5 format and flashed it with Odin. Thanks for the help.

Tab 2 not recognized by PC

I installed some cyanogen rom on my tablet and now everytime I try to plug it into my laptop or PC It says USB not recognized device descriptor request failed. I tried with 3 different cables and 3 different computers. I have samsung drivers installed. I just need to get it to connect so I can restore my tablet to stock ROM. I was trying it on my own with mobile odi n(app) and tried to flash it but it went into a loop and deleted recovery. Now the tablet does power on and works - apps crash all the time and no root available. So basically its useless and I do now know what do to... Please, someone just help me out here >.< :crying:

Yes I tried to enable debugging still did not work... I can not flash it because it doesn't get recognized by any computer.

If you manage to get root, then you can use FlashFire from play store to flash the stock rom.

Basically, because what you get is a CyanogenMod, which does not relate to any piece of the Samsung Driver. All you need is Google USB Driver which supports almost all Android phones in the world. A thread in XDA talks about 15 seconds Google USB Driver Program for Windows which can be found somewhere in the XDA thread world.
And more here, for the problem about root access, have you tried installing a SuperSu flashable zip through your recovery yet? That should work a lot. Then, if you update your firmware using recovery without using an OTA update manually, apps may not be compatible and will crash. Reinstalling all your crashing apps from the Google Play Store should help.
Finally, if you want to update your phone through recovery, not an OTA-received ROM, please make sure not to install many apps on it, because when it crashes, you can do nothing but to reinstall it. although, all add-ons (Such as GApps, SuperSu, Xposed Framework, et cetera) need to be reinstalled so you don't lose them during a manual update, so don't delete your flashable add-on zips once you installed, you might need them forever.
Recovery is like a mobile version of Odin, use a Desktop version of Odin so you can get yourself out. A tutorial might be found somewhere on YouTube.
Hope you have a good day,
Shippo

I can't just install a new ROM or recovery - my tab does not get recognized by any PC or laptop

There is a tool called Forget Windows Use Linux in which all necessary drivers come preinstalled and your tab should be recognised from your pc with no problem if it's a driver issue. Try it

Try this slide down from upper left of the screen. If the window indicates charge only, click on it. It should then offer file transfer. In order to get adb to see the tablet turn on deveper options and enable USB debug mode. Hopefully that works for you.

hello
there is something very very very very very old which is called cf autoroot
every needed is in the zip use it

Did you have USB debugging enabled in settings? If not, that may be why you can't get Odin to recognize your device.
Have you tried using the Samsung Kies or Smart Switch software to perform an emergency recovery?

Yes bro debugging was enabled..but never mind I solved the problem...my phone is working now...
I read somewhere that if Odin isn't recognizing your phone ...boot it in download mode connect USB and then remove the battery.... Still Odin didn't ..but my PC recognized the device (do you mind telling me the logic behind this?). Then I switched to Linux and did the same 'battery removal' thing on Heimdall ...and it detected my phone and I flashed Twrp successfully. Then flashed a new rom and its working perfectly now
