[Q] Phone not showing up on pc while in download mode

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?

Well I updated my phone through Kies to 2.3 but I think it messed up so I'm trying to roll back my phone to 2.2 through Odin

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

I've searched and can't find any answer to why it won't connect through download mode but will through the normal mode

After updating to 2.3 the top portion of my screen stopped working. everything else on the phone works.

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

[Q] “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless ha

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.

Odin not detecting in download mode

Looking to go back to stock using this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591601
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.

Galaxy s6 stuck at boot? Unable to fix

Hi xda members, im new in here and i was hoping for a bit of help
My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks

The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

Have you made sure you have the latest Samsung drivers installed on your computer?( http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117) And after that, try to see if Odin recognize it download mode, after you have confirmed you wanna flash new Rom ( volum up)

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.

Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.

Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

First thing to try would be flashing stock firmware with Odin.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb8iduv2o9i1ece/G920TUVS3DOJC_G920TTMB3DOJC_TMB.zip?dl=0
I recommend Odin 3.10.6
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dlmxtc0ic7u7ew/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip?dl=0

already done, with same results stuck at boot loop, tried to add a custom recovery which got denied by knox

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.
Report back

thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help

If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.

Bricked s6 please Help!

Yesterday, I flashed the XtreStoLight addon package with Kernel. And now the phone does not start.
I don't have any roms or Backups on the s6.
PC does not connect and usb-sticks also not work.
It's an SM-g920F German without Sim Lock.
Can someone help me to make it working again?
Thank You!!!

What do you mean, by not starting up. It doesn't go trough SAMSUNG logo or it doesn't turn on at all
If it doesn't turn on at all, you must flashed faulty kernel, and your device is now a paperweight

I used 3 usb-cables and all ports of two PC's
I also reinstalled the drivers.

if you can access to recovery try make full wipe (factory reset +wipe cash +wipe cash) also you try to enter to adb on recovery and try to connect device to pc and see if can recognize it or not

I believe you have corrupted bootloader area, try to keep forcing entering download mode, if still not working you will need motherboard replacement

If you are able to enter Download Mode, pay no attention to those messages from Kies, just do what i told you.

God....
Install drivers first, they work on Windows 10. If it doesn't work, you have another problem somewhere we don't know.
Then, download SamFirm AND NOT UPDATO, launch the software then fill the boxes like you want (model, then region (means CSC)). CHECK BINARY NATURE
Once firmware is downloaded, you flash the 4 files firmware though Odin with Re-Partition and Nand Erase All ticked, and your phone will be alive again
