I had rooted my s3 and put a custom rom on so that i could use it on tmobile. im back on verizon and i took it to get setup and now i have data and no working call or mms. Ive even reflashed different roms and still it doesnt work. I cant return it to factory because odin will not pick my phone up no mater what port or cable i use. So the guides to reset using odin are useless to me now. I have newest samsung usb drivers installed and ive already tried installing keis which also wont register the phone in download mode. What could be causing this problem with data working but no call or text ability.
another not to ad is that with every rom i have installed windows 8.1 says the usb device malfunctioned everytime i plug it in with 6 different cables that work with other phones. I checked and my imei is not bared so that is not the reason like it has been for others.

Help! Absolute newbie. Windows 7 computer won't recognize my phone when I plug in using stock USB cable. Rooted using Z4 root. Still has firmware 2.1 update 1. Having same problem with wife's unrooted phone. Only recognizes phone as composite USB device. Samsung driver installed, still doesn't work.
Make sure your phone is set to mass storage or ask on connection in Settings > USB settings (I'm assuming you want to transfer files to/from the SD card). If that's set, something should show up on your phone to let you transfer files to the computer when you connect it.
It is set for Ask on Connect
It is set for ask on connect. I am trying to update (upgrade?) to Froyo.
Oh ok. Sorry, it's been so long since I did that, I don't remember enough to be much help. If you can't get that to work, there's a thread on here somewhere with stock Froyo Odin files you can use.

Wife's stock phone worked
My wife's unrooted phone worked. Can't get either laptop to recognize my phone as a phone. Keeps coming up as "Composite USB device." When I try to use Samsung Drivers, I get error message 10, can not start drivers. Is there something I can change to have computer recognize it as the proper type of device?
if you want to do the official update you have to get samsung kies from uscc website, if unofficial you have to download odin, go to the first thread in mez android development it tells you all you need to upgrade.
They don't see my phone.
I have Kies Mini. It doesn't see my phone. Nor does SuperOneClick. And now I can't get Z4 to work either. Getting worse and worse.
Do you have USB debugging enabled on your phone? And you aren't Enabling Mass Storage correct?
Thanks
I am following the written instructions on the US Cellular website exactly. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support (Thanks to Holly in OK for her patience) but failed. She recommended either I wipe the phone, with no guarantee of success, or take it to a repair facility. Took it in. They know about the issues with Froyo on this phone and recommended I wait 2 or 3 weeks until Samsung comes out with an update to Froyo. Just for grins, I asked them to plug my phone into their computer to see if it would be recognized. No joy there either. They also recommended I wipe phone. I decided to wait until the update for Froyo comes in. No sense reinstalling everything twice. My wife, who's phone did update, was added to the service ticket so we will be notified "when the fix is in."

Are you using the cable that came with the phone? My buddy had that problem, he was using a old usb they had laying around and thought it would work because he uses it to charge?
Stock cable
I have tried both cables, one from my wife's phone and one from mine. Not sure what they used at USCC store. Thanks for input.
USB not working after 5/5/11 Heinz flash
Love the Heinz 57 ROM but I can't get drive recognized on PC. Fixes I've tried:
rebooted
reflashed ROM
tried different USB cables
tried different pc's
reinstalled Samsung drivers on PC
checked debugging
tried using Mass Storage option and ask on connection
unmounted sdcard
Now I'm at a loss
Thanks in advance!
fixed
rebooted pc seemed to have fixed the issue for now! Going to start playing with boot animations....
What works for me:
- turn Mass Storage on in USB settings
- then turn on USB debugging also
- go back to USB settings and change to ask on connection
- plug in phone, and select mass storage. Then scroll down notification bar and select copy files to/ from
It's a lot of back and forth, but is the only sure thing I've gotten to work. It also has to be redone in that order every time after turning it off.

I rooted a d2vzw yesterday and it was running like a champ on stock root. Today, when I went to install AOKP build 4 on it, I get a screen that says, "System software not authorized by verizon has been detected on your phone. please turn off your phone and take it to verizon for help."
I tried using odin to save it but I cant get odin to recognize the device. So, that being said, why did this happen, how do I get odin to recognize the device, and is it possible to save?
It happened because your boot loader is not unlocked. I'm not sure why Odin isn't recognizing your phone. Are the drivers installed? You will need to Odin back to stock so try different cables or a different computer.

As already stated, double check that you have the proper drivers installed from here http://tinyw.in/Fdoz
Also, try another USB port, avoid using a USB hub if possible (perhaps try a port on the back instead of front, or opposite side if on a mobile).
I'm unable to connect my phone to my computer via usb. I've tried downloading the latest driver direct from samsung, and I've tried using Kies. Every time the driver comes up unknown. I've tried everything I can think of. multiple driver installs and uninstalls. reboots, etc... I cant even do a simple file swap to my computer. Hopefully someone out there has run into this problem and has a solution for me.
Thanks in advance.
What ROM are you running?

Non. I'm just running stock. I even factory reset incase that was one of the problems. but it wasn't.
I couldn't put a rom on if i wanted to cause I cant even connect it to the computer to transfer files....

turns out it's the "CDC Serial" driver that wont install. Any ideas on how I might install that driver?
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696822
theshowman "I just used *#7284# and changed back the USB->Modem to USB->PDA and now ADB works."
Worked for me when I was trying to upgrade to stock ICS from GB
edit: when he says "i used" he means, open up the dialer, type exactly what is says * # 7 2 8 4 #
There's a bunch of other "weird" codes like this also. Go google em. I don't know the actual name for them. Saw a list referring to them as "Samsung hack codes."
Try this one for fun. Open Dialer, enter *#0228# , Battery status should pop up.
I actually read that post and already tried it. I've tried just about everything. Even just installed my old vista 32bit on an old drive. Just cause I heard the samsung drivers didn't work well with 64bit. That didn't work either... I'm just about at my wits end
Is there another way to get a stock ICS on my phone? Last time i Rooted was years ago. And i had to connect my phone to the computer. Which isn't possible for me it seems like. Is there a way to put a rom on my phone without the use of a computer?

Like a copy of the OTA download that I can get on my phone and update it from there?
I have a massive problem, after days of research i have found NOTHING..
Ok so i had a rooted samsung galaxy s6, i was getting a bit tired of having it rooted (didnt really serve any purpose) so i decided to unroot via the superSU app then i restarted my phone and it hasn't been able to turn back on ever since.. it'll show the logo over and over again when i try to turn it on. I tried wiping the cache partition, wiping the data, rebooting it every single way possible, no luck..
So i decided i had to flash the Rom using the latest version of Odin but the problem with that is that now my phone isn't getting recognized by my computer i have tried installing the proper drivers, changing usb cables, ports, computers.. I even tried installing samsung smart switch and kies but nothing works.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem please help.

Have you tried to get into download mode and run the emergency recovery feature via smartswitch?
I had the same issue with an old S6. The emergency recovery feature asks you the model and serial number of your device and immediately recovers it when you have a bad software restore.

If you can get to recovery mode, you should be able to get to download mode. Serial #s are easy to find with a simple google search. It will depend on what version of S6 you might have.
This is a bit of a longer story, but i'll try to make it brief.
I have a samsung galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005).
A few days ago, when I was deleting system bloatware and I must have also deleted some important parts of the system.
My homescreen stopped working and i couldn't see my phone when i connected it to my pc which is running win-10 (more on that later).
Unfortunately i didn't keep any backups, yes I was reckless.
Factory resetting with my default recovery mode didn't help at all.
After some time i managed to install twrp (team win project recovery) and flashed ressurection remix 5.8.5 (unofficial version from Lord_Eko) along with Magisk and the correct Gapps.
Everything is working fine except that I cant see my sim card (thus i can't call or text anyone) and I still can't see my phone when connecting it to my pc.
I wanted to try installing some firmware for my sim card or try flashing stock firmware before my custom rom but I can't, since I have to use bootloader/download mode for that.
I tried using Odin (v3.13 and v3.09) while in download mode, but it can't see my phone. Neither can Android debug bridge when using command "adb device" or "fastboot devices" (it just says list of attached devices and nothing).
Connecting my phone normally doesn't work either. My phone isnt even listed in device manager as an unknown device.
I even tried installing samsung usb drivers, but to no avail. My phone only gets charged from my pc.
I tried all sorts of things i don't even remember now, but none of them helped.
I read something about an IMEI being deleted and when i checked my IMEI through an app it was blank, so it seems to have been deleted.
My battery also keeps draining quite a lot, but that's probably because of how old it is.
I don't know anymore info i can give, so please, how do I get my simcard to work?
Thanks for any help and sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. <3
