problem with almost everything

So this started about a month ago and i tried to ignore it but i don't want to deal with it any longer. My is not recognized on my computer anymore even after i reinstalled the drivers multiple time. Its not recognized in odin, the "My Files" app and the music app are both missing. Also whenever i try to put it into download mode it just launches clockwork mod. I've tried every method besides the usb jig. Does anyone have any idea whats wrong or any solutions to try?

Can you download a new rom. If so can you flash a new one from cwm.

Yes i forgot to mention that. I can flash new roms and everything but they all have the same problem.

I also tried restoring from an older back up and it had the "My files" and the music app but it still wasn't recognized and still wasn't recognized on my computer

My initial thoughts?
Using the stock cable (it matters)?
Connected to computer's USB and not a hub?
Try a different computer?
Can you mount either SD from cwm and have it show up in windows?
If/when you solve the windows issue, I'd try wiping both emmc and external, then load your fav from and retry.

Ok so i was able to get it into download mode using the cm9 power button shortcut but it still isn't recognized in windows. Whenever it is connected it says "failed to mount unknown device"

try Restoring your computer to a earleir date, should fix the issue with the drivers ...

i've tried it on 5 different computers :/

I'm pretty sure if your in download mode, connection problems are only computer or cable related. Do you have another cable to try? How are you going into download mode?

I have used the stock cable and two other ones I have. The only way I could get it into download mode was through the power button shortcut in cm9. Every time I plug it in it says the device malfunctioned. I thought it was a driver problem but I've already reinstalled them a few times.

there's a trouble shooting guide for odin in the sticky how to restore to stock in the dev forum made by me

I just remembered that all of this started to happen after I used Odin to flash it back to stock because it was saying the MD 5 sums didn't match when I was trying to restore from an older recovery

Have you tried holding volume+- (with phone off and Odin running) and plugging cable in? I've had best success with download mode being recognized by doing that.

It should do neither since you are not touching the power button. But if that is in fact happening than i have never seen the issue.

It is very annoying. I'm almost to the point of getting the insurance on my phone and waiting a couple of weeks then either accidentally washing it or running it over and paying the $50 deductible

did you follow the guide
are u touching the power button, the answer should be no
or the power button is sticking down, to fix that try to repeatedly keep pushing the power hard to try to unstick it, sounds like a stuck power button to me, almost positive

i didnt touch the power button at all and it isn't stuck. I've tried everything i can think of. do you think getting it jtagged would fix it?

[Q] Bricked... hard or soft?

I have an SGS4g
I had Team Whiskeys Bionix Frost updated for/with voodoo and it worked fine for quite some time... I foolheartedly decided it was time for something new...
I followed the instructions perfectly for WhiteHawkx Valhalla when I was at the restart boot-loader section my phone turned into rainbow crack,
but the rom loaded and my phone worked I was however unable to get into recovery from this point forward.
I decided that not being able to get into recovery was unacceptable so I decided to use Odin to load up the old tried an true jump off point the deodexed KD1 I keep with Odin in a folder on my PC for just such an occasion, after attempting this my phone didn't restart on it's own like it was supposed to... (I should have known to stop right there while I was still in DL mode.)
When I restarted my phone manually my phone stopped showing the rainbow crack and showed the normal splash screen (I was foolishly optimistic) my phone is now stuck at the t mobile splash screen and I haven't been able to get it back into DL mode...
Please tell me there is something I can do other than shop for a new phone.

Volume up and volume down while you plug it into the computer won't get you to download mode?

I have been unable to get into recovery so far...
I have tried all of the alternate methods except ADB mode which I don't think i can because the phone wont go past the galaxy S 4g exclusively from t mobile splash screen.
if there is a trick for the ADB method please let me know cause if something is going to work at this point i think that's it.

Well there is hope, your phone is still turning on.
You could see if abd recognizes your phone if you have it. (usually the first things I do is make sure debugging is on when I change things over)
If you know someone with a jig that would be the easiest way but it is 1am.

Not the topic, but JIG in "tinydeal . com" costs just 1.17 dollars with free shipping. Cheaper never found.

[Q] Bricked phone, can I do anything? Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

Ok so my phone is stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have tried to flash a stock rom onto the phone but odin isnt even detecting it? I have it plugged in sitting on this screen with odin opened, but there isnt the [@com:x] message. I really need some help on how to get to download mode or how to flash another rom onto it.
Thanks

Yes i have read that on here multiple times, but odin will not detect the phone, although it did before, and even then, i would load the stock firmware into the PDA part of odin, but then when i hit start, it would stop at a point, then just idle.

Try a different data cable. Every issue I've ever had with Odin (or Kies for that matter) has been solved by ditching the stock cable and using some other random one I found. And that's exactly what would happen - it would connect, start up, and then just stop at a point.

Also try a different USB port, it worked for me before.

Remove all drivers from the USB port you plan on using for odin. This is a program I find very effective at that:
USB DEVIEW
Restart comp. Then follow the rest of Vincoms guide.

It wont read any ports though on flashtool. As I can't enter download mode that way. I have to use omap4boot enabler to start it. Even then it'll shut off.

HELP! Did I brick my device?

So, I was attempting to flash Omega ROM, but the wifi wasn't working. Long story short I ended up in the wrong thread and the suggestion was to factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache/fix permissions, then format everything but the external SD card. Now all I get is the Galaxy Note 10.1 intro screen, and the "Download" mode when pressing the power and volume down key, which just keeps saying "Downloading, do not turn off target" (Advice I'm guessing I should've paid attention to) Please help me out guys! I really hope I didn't just make a $340 paper-weight :crying::crying::crying:
Update: Was able to get into recovery, should be fine, thanks guys!

You are fine... Just locate the back to stock Odin files... That should fix you up...

Also the device isn't recognized by my computer, and I can't get back into recovery mode. Really freaking out here!

Thought you said you could get into recovery?
Your computer shouldnt "detect" when its plugged in AND in download mode,
Odin SHOULD though - should say "COM 1" or something to that effect

Flash a stock rom on it through ODIN, you formatted everything and have no rom...
ODIN should be able to detect when in download mode, if not then re-install the samsung device drivers.... Don't leave it turned on too long or you won't have sufficient juice in your battery to flash.... I would suggest holding down power button for 10 seconds and shutting off completely, plugging in and waiting til you are certain you have more than 50% power...
