Ok first off, the whole reason I'm in this mess is because I couldn't get the phone to connect with my PC. I tried different cables, ports, and drivers. The official Samsung drivers have the message "device driver software was not successfully install;d ". So I basically couldn't connect it to my PC at all. Now since I had it rooted through towelroot I thought I'd use Flashify to flash TWRP. So I did. Now after a reboot I get the message, “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”. Now I have ODIN installed with the stock firmware downloaded but ODIN won't recognize my device. Any help at all would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Anything guys? Just getting ODIN to recognize my phone would help so much.
Do you have your phone in download mode? Beyond that, I'm not really sure. Everything I see that talks about odin just talks about download mode with no mention of any drivers or anything.

I have the samsung galaxy s 4g. First off it can get into download mode, with the yellow triangle. Second, It's recognized in normal mode i.e., mass storage, samsung kies, media. Odin also recognizes it in normal mode as 0:COM. Though when starting in download mode windows tries to install it but fails and says usb not recognized. Also Odin no longer shows it as 0:COM. Any suggestions?

It is not as easy as just using ODIN to flash back. Why do you think it is messed up?

The answer IS out there, I found it when I first started... But, here's the spoon:
1 Start Odin, plug in phone while it is off and battery out
2 hold the volume up/down buttons and insert battery
3 If Odin does not recognize phone then, reinstall the drivers
4 Repeat steps 1 and 2

Can you see enough of the screen to root your phone? I would recommend rooting it, downloading sgs kernel flasher, downloading a cwm kernel, flashing it, then reflashing through cwm stock gb and see if it fixes it. It might be a hardware issue though. Have yet to hear somebody say their screen stopped working after using kies.
Use the first link in my signature for detailed directions, links and downloads.
You don't need to **** with ODIN. I recommend my method. No ODIN
It's a bad download... Happened to me when I first updated to 2.3.6 via kies...

What won't let you root? SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse? I just did it today.
Make sure you are patient with it.

Just dawned on me... You need to make sure you have enabled USB Debugging Mode for SuperOneClick to work.
On the device, go to Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging

Odin will recognize my phone when booted normaly but, when in download mode odin wont recognize my phone
I have CWM recovery 6.0.3.8 installed if it makes any difference.
Any help is appriciated, thanks
Are the drivers installed? This is usually the problem. If that is not the problem, it may be the USB Port or the USB Cable. Switching ports usually helps.

Unfortunately, i have tried both of those things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers from both kies and the samsung website. I have also tried switching ports with no avail. I have found out when i connect my phone in download mode in one port there will be a sound as if a device is connected but i cannot see the phone on my computer, on all other ports it will sound as if the device connected and then disconnected immediately. I have also tried using multiple versions of odin.

Yes! You hear the sound of the phone being connected. Have you checked any processes on your computer when that happens? Download Mode needs certain drivers (downloaded automatically) to be able to work with Odin.

Unfortunately, no other processes appear on my computer when connected. Would there be a way i could download the download mode drivers manually?

The 1st installation method did not work, so i went on to the the 3rd however when i look on device manager my phone is listed as an Android Device>Google Galaxy Nexus ABD Interface, when i try doing step 8 my computer says the drivers are already up to date. Going on details for the driver says its from ClockworkMod(my current recovery). Might this be why Odin cannot detect my device when in download mode? And if so how would i go about fixing this? Thanks for your help by the way

Hmmm. Another option could be just flashing to stock rather than using Odin. May I ask why you want to go back to stock? Are you returning your phone? If so, flashing a stock ROM should suffice..

Well yes, im soon going to be getting a new phone in May(any suggestions?? lol). However, since flashing Cyanogen Mod 10 i have had trouble getting calls. I cannot hear when the phone is dialing and if someone picks up on the other end i dont hear anything. Also, recently texts have not been working. I have seen that I am able to send texts but not recieve them, or if i do they will take a LONG time to come through and usually i will get all the messages at once.
Hello xda members
I have an GT-I9300 device which stucks on TWRP Recovery (teamwin logo excatly) and flashes about after 4 or 5 seconds.
No twrp options , my pc doesnt react when i plug in my phone , only download mode available and an SD Card.
Can i unbrick my phone or not ?
Hello,
Yes, you can flash your stock firmware through Odin 3.10 and fix your device. Look in the thread linked below for instructions, if the download link for your stock firmware is dead then try going to Sammobile.com and search for your stock firmware using your model number GT-I9300, download it and then follow the instructions below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/restore-to-stock-rom-galaxy-s3-i9300-t2187081
Good luck.
styno said:
Hi,
you can recover the GT-I9300 completely with Samsung's own Kies. It will ask for the serial number of the phone and will download all files needed and flash it for you.
You'll end up with a complete stock phone (but with latest modem )
Good luck!

Power the device off (pull the battery, then put the battery back in), then hold VOL DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY
Once in download mode plug into your PC. Also make sure that you have the Samsung drivers installed. Check your device manager on your PC to make sure Windows is seeing the device.

Try different USB ports, make sure you have the stock cable.
I went into Odin mode and flashed TWRP in the AP/PDA as all tutorials say (I am skeptical about that, I think this is what caused my phone to brick. BL obviously stands for bootloader, but I wasn't going to question the experts). Afterwards, I went to restart my phone and now I only boot to a broken Odin mode which says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I cannot turn it off without taking the battery out, it reboots immediately. I tried plugging my phone in and running Kies, but I left it to detect devices for 10 minutes and it was still attempting to connect to my SGS2. I have absolutely no idea what to do, I've never gotten this message in Odin before. It was tricky to even get Kies as Samsung took down their link and replaced it with SmartSwitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
idk which tutorial youve read but you should of read mine, it uses odin3v1.87 and only pda is ever used and/or needed for the skyrocket.
u could be sol but trying my tut shouldnt hurt.
if theres life theres a chance for it to be revived.
you could try flashing twrp or better yet a full stock firmware so all partitions get reformatted/repartitioned correctly, fingers crossed.

Thanks; the only problem is that I can't even flash anything at the moment. My phone needs Kies and the drivers first, the Odin/download and recovery modes cannot be accessed otherwise. Kies has never had my phone drivers beforehand as I never had Kies before my phone had problems I should have looked harder for more detailed tutorials like yours first (one of many oversights that I neglected as a newbie). I also forgot to mention I visited the cm wiki to try to flash a newer custom OS and the tutorial asked for Windows users to use Heimdall suite, which failed to work properly in Windows 10 (at least for me). I used it to install a driver which may have replaced my Kies driver but now that I had uninstalled Kies completely and reinstalled it just after my phone broke, I no longer have a way of getting those drivers back since Kies apparently uses the history of my connected phones to install the drivers. I may be completely wrong (I feel I am) so please correct me.

Well it's not the drivers. Kies simply won't connect for whatever reason. I've tried Kies emergency recovery but it needs my phone to have been plugged in to another computer somewhere in order to get a recovery code or I need Kies to simply detect my phone. I've installed the new drivers multiple times but it doesn't change any results.
fyi you dont need kies for any of my tutorials.
uninstall kies, restart pc and reinstall standalone usb drivers and restart pc.
then follow my guides to the "t"

Just because USB debugging is off doesn't mean Odin won't detect your phone. One of the biggest reasons Odin may not detect your phone is that you don't have Samsung's developer drivers, so make sure you look and install those.

Try a different port or cable too. Also, make sure you opened odin as admin and you opened it before plugging in the device. Worth a try...
