Hello community,
i kinda read everything on every forum about this topic, and nothing really worked, so i am asking here now.
I tried to flash CFW on my phone, but since the guy making the thread was a genius, i downloaded the wrong cfw for another handy, bricking my recovery, i am also stuck in a bootloop. HOWEVER i can still access Download mode and Emergency Download mode.
BUT if i connect my phone in download mode to my pc, it says that it is an unknown device, i deleted and installed so many drivers just to make it work, it did not. I also swapped USB ports, cables etc.
Suprisingly, when i connect my phone in Emergency download mode, Windows finds my phone and it actually works, even odin finds the phone, but i still cant flash it since im stuck on "setup connection".
I am on Win 8.1
Any help appreciated

I've tried a few other forums but haven't got any replies, I guess since the Galaxy 5 isn't such a popular device. I figured if there's anyone who can help me they will be here though.
I wanted to put CWM on it so I could get a CM7 port on. Unfortunately it's just about impossible for it to get detected on USB. I've installed Kies (and even the generic USB drivers found in the SDK). In 2 days I only got it to connect once, and then I went and bricked it.
The one time it finally connected I ran Odin and tried loading CWM onto it. It still hadn't finished after half an hour so I figured it ended with an error that was never displayed. So I unplugged it and as expected - brick! I can get into download (upgrade/firmware) mode so I think it can be fixed if I can get CWM on it (and just install the CM7 port I had originally intended to put on).
Problem is I cannot get the darn thing to connect! to my computer I've tried two separate PCs, one running Window 7 x64 and another running XP x32. Is there a a certain process of connecting things? I haven't ran across anyone making mention of one.
Has anyone else experienced USB problems like this with Samsung phones? Would it even be possible to flash CWM on after it's been bricked like this? When I boot (normally) all I get is an image showing a phone and a PC with and exclamation error connecting the two. Please help!
Try to look for stock firmware on the forum.xda-developers.com and flash via ODIN. You need to be able to put the phone into download mode, so maybe get an USB jig. That should do the trick. Odin has to recognize your phone. First of all right click on the ODIN executable and select "Run as administrator" on windows. Plug the phone in the DL mode and wait until it appears as active in Odin. Then flash the ROM and pit file. (Don't use ODIN one click). If ODIN does not recognize your phone try a different USB port or reinstall Kies. The Kies trick was which I used and it was able to recognize my phone.
Thanks, martin0176. I can still manage to get the phone into download mode - it's getting recognized by a PC that's the problem.
Could you tell me more about the pit file? I only have an ops file.
Try a different cable. I was having the same problem on the Samsung Continuum and it turned out that the cable was working for power, but not for data.
Hi there,
I've read every kind of threads here and no one works for me. I rooted my Samsung GT-I9000 and all worked well, then the phone started acting crazy, my root was gone and when I boot the phone I come to the usual screen where you enter pincode but after that the popup screens start, multiple popups saying that twlauncher crashed, media, acore etc.. so I cant get to the screen where I can enable usb debugging. I can enter the stock recovery and my PC can contact the phone, but when I press vol down + home + power so I get the download mode the PC cant find the phone, not in win7 or in Linux. I have tried every kind of driver there is for Samsung but no one works that make it possible for the PC to find the phone when it is in download mode, win7 list it under "unknown device" and NO driver at ALL works so win7 can reqonize the phone. I've tried installing Kies how many times I dont know and uninstalling, updated SDK, uninstalled every USB driver and even the hubs and installed them again, updated win7.. what can I do to flash the phone!?!? Because Odin, no matter old from new; cant find the phone in DL mode, same with linux. And in stock recovery, I wiped cache and data but the problem is still there when I enter the OS after enter my pin...
How can I flash my phone without PC finding the phone in DL mode and no USB debugging enabled? Or how to flash CWM so I can flash a ROM from SD? Please help!!

As I wrote, my desktop is under Linux and the laptop under Win7 and none can reach the phone, both computers can only detect the phone in Recovery mode, but the laptop under Win7 only detect the phone as offline, Linux on the other hand can reboot phone into recovery from recovery, to download mode and reboot normal. Already tried to use Ubuntu 13 Live and it cant detect the phone in DL mode either. And tried different cables also. And if I find a recovery or CWM, then what? Dont I need to get phone into DL mode to flash something?
But in Linux I've got a small breakthrough, Heimdall can detect the phone know, but fails to flsah anything. Maybe wrong files or something..? But anyhow, if Heimdall now can detect the phone and it couldnt before; know I just need the right files to flash.
Just find a friend who owns Windows desktop/ laptop, download stock from Sammobile, flash stock via Odin. If not, try Odin mobile...
Hey guys. I've been trying to restore my D800 to stock firmware (no root) and I was having a lot of trouble getting my COM ports changed.
Finally realized I hadn't been entering download mode, it skips to fastboot, so I'm assuming the download mode is corrupted. Asides from that the phone works fine otherwise.
It does say "Download Mode" with the dots for about a second then moves to fastboot.
Is there any remedy to this? I have access to fastboot and recovery and I've been searching around (albeit for the wrong things for a lot of it.) but can't find anything specific to this issue as the phone isn't bricked at all.
I'd just really like to be able to restore it to stock. Thanks!
I have a similar issue. Cant change COM ports (they dont even show up in device manager). I can get to Download Mode, but the Flash Tool and PC doesnt recognize the phone is even plugged in.
Do you have sound in Windows (device added/removed ) when you connect phone in download mode to PC? It might be drivers issue
Install autorec and it will fix you partitions and correct your download mode.

Hey guys here is my issue:
Purchased a Verizon S6 that was flashed with CM 5.0.1. I need to restore to a stock rom and somewhere along the flash with ODIN something went wrong. The phone reset and now the phone starts up and goes to the Verizon green screen that mentions something about my system failing to start.
I can't access the recovery menu which includes the wipe cache option. I can access download mode and the Maintenance Boot mode.
Download Mode: When I try to connect it to the computer I get USB device not recognized. I have tried KIES i have tried smart switch. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled every USB driver. Device manager shows the phone as Unknown USB Device ( Device Descriptor Request Failed). I have tried 4 different Official Samsung cables and 3 non official. Girlfriends S6 is recognized instantly in download mode. Have tried 4 different machines. Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7.I have tried advice from many threads on here for 6 days now with no luck.
Maintenance Mode: Gives me options including wipe system. When I press any option the phone simply resets.
Can't access adb or fastboot, because the computer wont recognize it!
I have suspicions that this phone is " hard bricked ". I am without a phone at the moment and my job relies on it. I found a shop on the other side of the country that fixes hard bricks. I'm hoping this is still fixable via software, if you think you can fix this remotely please contact me! I am willing to pay $50.00 via paypal or square cash. I am on a windows 10 machine with an i7 and team viewer installed. Let me know if you are willing to give it a shot.

So i have had my gs7 rooted for a year or longer. Yesterday i rebooted my phone and got the error message "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". Sadly, when i enter download mode and plug it into a pc with odin installed, it is not recognised. Odin does not say anything about a phone plugged in, and windows says the usb is not recognized.
What i think have caused this:
I downloaded an app that allowed me to record internal audio
I turned off developer options, and my stupid ass did not realize that is where oem unlock is located.
What i have tried:
Resetting to factory settings (from recovery mode)
Deleting cache (from recovery mode)
Using odin, but odin does not even recognize my phone
Tried using another computer with odin
tbh, looking at the other posts, i think i messed up. I dont want to send it in for repairing because i will have to pay a lot of money. I have tried sending it in for repairing a while ago. Then my problem was that i could not call with it, but they wanted me to pay the price for a new phone to repair my old phone, since i had rooted it. I did not accept it so i got my phone back, and managed to fix the issue myself. I hope i manage to fix the issue this time aswell.

I have samsung usb drivers installed, and download mode has always been working and has always been recognized by odin ever since this happened. And online all i find is that i should boot into download mode and try using odin, but odin does not recognize my phone, nor does my computer.

Please pay attention to guides when messing about with your phone, OEM and Debugg are critical to being able to modify.

SOLVED!
The issue fixed itself, im not sure what i did. I was suddenly able to connect my phone to odin. Just incase someone reads this with the same problem. This is what i did: installed smart switch and rebooted my computer. Uninstalled and reinstalled samsung usb drivers.
Before i did those things the issue was still there, i was ready to use smart switch, but i tried odin one last time and it worked. Now samsung pass tells me my phone is rooted, even though it is not (my root dissapeared after resetting my phone), its not that big of an issue, just thought id let you know
