Hello, I believe I screwed up something with the mounting/unmounting before I flashed a ROM, and my phone is not working as a result. Originally, it would sit at the Samsung Sidekick 4g Tmobile screen forever, and I could use the button combination to get it into download mode... now that doesn't work, and it only goes to the black screen with the phone and the computer.
I have downloaded driver after driver after driver trying to get this to work, I have downloaded ODIN, and I understand how to use it, but there is no way ODIN is going to see my phone because Windows will not properly install it. I only have a PPC mac and Win 7 computers, one win 7 computer says device is malfunctioning and the other win 7 computer loads it as a "Gadget Serial" but says that it did not install properly. I have tried all the samsung drivers, all the samsung programs to no avail. I've tried more than one USB cable too...
Is there any hope in getting this phone back to life? Do I need to use a windows XP installation? I have VMware so I could try XP or linux but frankly I'm afraid to do anything more for fear of further complicating this situation.
Final Edit: SOLVED. I uninstalled everything save for the samsung drivers, installed the android SDK and plugged it in a different usb port...although im not sure if windows got it right away, ODIN detected it and I was able to restore.
My samsung infuse wont be detected in windows 7 but its detected as unknown device. I have reboot my computer, restored my phone, deleted drivers on the computer, different cable, port, and computer. Any help?

The problem i have found Microsoft generic drivers are being used instead of the samsung drivers it seems to me.

That is why you need to uninstall all drivers for phone,reboot, install drivers,reboot,plug phone in DO NOT let computer search windows update.Once you stop it from downloading from Microsoft it will load drivers you installed.
I just tried it again. deleted drivers and rebooted.
Installed Kies mini and rebooted.
I have had driver search turned off, but double checked and rebooted for safe measure and it still installed the the generic drivers.
deleted drivers and devices the way i know how and used the link above to make sure.
I even went in Deview and made sure that the any generic driver was gone as well.
Still getting the issue.
Any other suggestions.
I'm at a loss not
what am i missing.

Which version of windows are you running,if running 7 when you plug phone in after deleting etc.you should new device installer telling you it is installing your new device,then it will say click here to view progress. Click immediately, when that pops up at bottom of it is link saying do not search microsoft for updated drivers. it will ask if you are sure yes you are. Then it will search computer and use drivers from Kies

That did not work for me, but i did find this:
You can get the results above in Windows 7 Home Premium through the registry editor ... not going to tell you how to edit the registry... I'll assume you know how...
Add/update the following DWORD value in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions]
"DenyUnspecified"=dword:00000001
I had to manually add the "DeviceInstall" and "Restrictions" keys, then add the dword value "DenyUnspecified" and set it to 1.
To turn enable again, change DenyUnspecified to 0.
Now that i have stopped the automatic windows driver install, I thought i would be Ok but I'm still having issues with the proper infuse drivers. this just sucks odin will still not recognize my phone.
Ok any help.
I was able to stop windows 7 from installing the generic drivers by editing the registry, but the computer will not recognize the drivers from Samsung direct download or kies mini.
When doing a search to choose the driver windows 7 will not detect the drivers
I have tried the drivers from above, kies mini, kies, and samsung. no luck.
with the generic drivers it will still mount the storage cards no problem, adb works i just cant get odin or kies to work.
Install keis and don't let windows search for drivers

Any luck getting your phone to show up? Windows doesn't even acknowledge my phone is plugged in. This is on my win7 laptop, my pc still connects to the phone fine. Tried 3 different cables and reloaded drivers/rebooted several times. Phone does charge however.

Sorry no luck here, I gave up on the process. I gave the phone away to some one that needed a phone and i know would not be doing any technical stuff to it.
Ok so I have an ATT LG G2 (d800) I have CWM touch recovery and yesterday I flashed the latest cm11 update 2-21. After that my phone never got past the CM loading screen.It would load for hours. I tried wiping from recovery and I ended up deleting everything, now all I get is my LG screen. I have no zips on the phone that I can flash. I am still able to get into recovery and into download mode, since I have CWM I think that means I can't flash from an OTG. I know I can push files through adb which I already have setup, however no computer I connect my phone to can see it. It shows up in device manager as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I have downloaded the google adb drivers, the koush drivers, the unnaked drivers, the lg drivers, NOTHING WORKS. On 64 bit computers it tells me make sure the driver is support for 64bit systems, I try the same exact driver on a win 7 32 bit and it tells me to make sure it is for 32 bit computers. I have opened up the phone and left the battery unplugged for 2 hours, that didn't help. I've actually read that people clean the inside of their usb port on the phone and that fixes that, I'm desperate and tried it, did nothing. I have tried on my windows 8.1 x64 (yes i tried disabling signature veri), windows 7 32 bit, and a virtual windows xp 32 bit.
Windows 8.1 doesn't support many devices in fastboot or recovery mode. I had to switch my computer to windows 8 just to use fastboot on an xperia play.
Using a virtual windows xp wouldn't work either. Cuz the device has to be recognized by your main OS first. And after your main OS recognizes the device it will connect it to the virtual machine.
So stick to your Windows 7 for now. Make sure again that you're correctly installing the 32 bit drivers and then try pushing zip files into your phone through adb
As long as your phone can boot into recovery or download mode then it's fixable so don't worry about that.

I am having a huge issue trying to get the MT65xx Phone Driver to install for the Insignia NS-P10A6100. Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Without this I'm unable to do ADB and Fastboot stuff since neither ADB or Fastboot seems to want to detect the tablet.
I used the method here to try and get the driver to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421
I got as far as the VCOM step but that doesn't want to seem to show up in my devices at all. The driver does install and Windows says it's installed. The USBDeview x64 app shows it's installed as well. Is there any other method that maybe I'm over looking to getting this up and running properly.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
I am trying to unlock bootloader on a new htc one x(at&t) that i recently got. I have windows 10. When i connect my device to the computer it recognizes it easily. However, when i boot into fastmode, it doesnt recognize the device at all. i tried updating driver but nothing changed. What should i do???? please help me!
lPlease ignore. wrong forum
you probably need a PC running WinXP / Win7 to do it
the phone cant be recognized in Win8 or later even the HTC driver installed properly
