hello friends I have a problem with my samsung tab 2 SGH - i497 when trying to install a custom recovery through the application Install TWRP , now my tab will not start, or load, nor can enter into recovery mode or download mode , please ayudenme I can do to fix it .
Hello,
If your device will not charge, will not boot to any of its modes, has no LED when connected to charger or PC, does not vibrate when power is pressed, will not connect to PC or is not recognized by PC, then unfortunately the device is probably hard bricked and is dead.
There is a chance that a Samsung USB Jig will help you boot it to download mode, they can be found on eBay for $3-5 US. If you get a Jig, insert it in the microUSB port on the device, if it works, it will force the device into download mode and you can then connect to PC and flash your stock firmware or possibly only the stock recovery to replace the custom recovery that bricked your device to recover the device if you are lucky. There may or may not be some other steps required after getting the device recovered to get it correctly repaired, or you might get lucky.
If that doesn't work, then your only other option is to send it in for JTAG service at the repair shop of your choice, you can find them with a Google Search.
Your device probably has a locked bootloader, as do most Samsung devices in the past 2-3 years. Attempting to flash these devices with locked bootloaders with anything other than the devices' current stock firmware or newer results in a permanently bricked device, some can be recovered but not in all cases.
In the future, regardless of how familiar you are with android and flashing, always familiarize yourself with these kinds of details about your specific model number before you do anything to your device. Good luck.
hello friend thanks for replying, I'll try what you tell me usb jig to force download mode, but the problem will be the entry is different from a normal samsung, it is wider, similar to an iPhone...

Try something like this along with the USB jig.
Samsung Tab USB adapter
Connect the adapter to your Tab then connect the USB jig to the adapter. If the jig is going to help you that will work.

so, my phone is bricked, I bought a jig since I couldn't access download mode. The jig works perfectly, but no matter what cord, USB port or computer or operating system I still can't get the phone recognized. I always get "USB device not recognized, it may have malfunctioned...etc." I thought it was the drivers and etc, but my friends Galaxy S works in download mode and gets recognized...I thought it might be the USB port, but the jig works everytime and the charger turns the phone on when plugged in.
So I'm out of options, the unbrickable mod is just not in my skill set, what else can I possibly do?
I know you said it was coming up as USB device not recognized...buy did you run Odin and see if it was there?
Yes, neither hemidall or odin detect it.

I can't tell if you tried this, but when I was flashing with the Captivate and Odin, I always re-installed the drivers. Everytime. I also had better luck running Odin as Administrator. Again, couldn't tell from OP if you did all that, so hope I'm not preaching to the choir

Have you tried just putting cable in PC then in reg mode hook to phone...let it find and recognize. Then unhook from phone. then put in d/l mode then hook to computer....then open odin.....
EDIT: the cable that comes with the phone is really not such a good cable...i went out and bought a nice thick one..just casue the sammy one works for charging and USB mass storage doesn't mean it will for ODIN...I ran into that with my Captivate and Infuse...I went out and got a nice thick 25$ cable...no issues...also try a diff port...>?
I swear the op never gets read. the phone is bricked, I can't get past the Samsung screen, I have stock 3e recovery, and the only way to get to download mode is the jig. I have tried kies mini and the exe for drivers but none of the multiple computers ive tried recognize the phone, I have tried several different cords as well, I think my only option is Jtag.

No that's not your only option..... If the phone turns on at all ths sts great, diagnosing kies fire the drivers is crucial first off, then use the jig to get into dl then hook up to computer and open heimdall one click back to stock by Ulster, if heimdall still doesn't recognize it, unplug micro USB from phone and plug back in, again the RIGHT drivers for windows or Mac are CRUCIAL! Just went through a huge ordeal with my infuse thinking it was gonna be dead, if you can get to Samsung letters its not bricked, bricked is if it does nothing....read my last post.

Alright. So, after bricking my first GS3 while attempting to root and unlock with Odin, I'm feeling confident enough to attempt rooting the replacement I've received. When I plug my phone into my PC while in Odin/Download mode, my computer insists that it's a Samsung USB modem named MSM8960. For the sake of clarity, sanity, and not bricking my Second GS3, is this what I should be seeing when I plug it into the computer in Odin mode? Or is this some driver issue? I installed the proper Samsung drivers for the Verizon GS3 before I plugged it into the computer, and any attempt to manually install a different set of drivers or uninstall the drivers Windows 8 is automatically providing me with when I plug in the device has not been successful. Help?
I realize this is one old thread but I'm having the exact same issue using Odin 3.07 and an S4. When I connect my phone via the USB cable Win7 searches for drivers for an MSM8960 and fails. All Samsung drivers are up to date and installed properly. Would love a solution to Odin recognizing and connecting to my device. TIA
I realize this is an old thread.... BUUUUT, I ran into this issue with my S3 on US Cellular, the simple solution was changing the usb cable and the port and the port on my laptop to a different one. Side note rebooting the computer may help for others but it was not necessary for me.
I hope this helps any future googlers.
If this fixes your issue please thank this post, it will let me know I contributed to your happiness, which will make me feel all warm and fuzzy!
Have a great life all you people I will never meet, who I might unbeknownstly help!
perhaps this can help.
i experience the same thing.
my phone is s4 active shv-e470 from korea, but i use it in indonesia here.
i usually flash my phone in my personal laptop, but i accidentally bricked my phone when i go to my parents home in another city. there is only my sister's laptop there, an asus notebook based on amd brazos. (E2 series processor).
strange thing is, when i put my phone in odin mode, the notebook recognize it as msm8960, so it can not found the appropiate driver. i'am pretty sure i have installes latest samsung usb mobile phone driver at first.
i try to change cable and different usb at same laptop (because that's the only pc in my parent's home) but still the same result.
i become really worried because i think i have bricked my phone and there is no way out.
then i plug my portable 2.5" hardisk into another usb port of the laptop.
suddenly, msm8960 device change into samsung modem and bla bla bla, then windows install appropriate samsung driver,so odin can recognize the phone now.
i flash the firmware quickly, and thank god it can run succesfully.

Hello. Newb here so sorry if i make lots of mistakes.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) n8010 that is stuck in a boot loop, only flashing up the Samsung note logo then rebooting.
I am able to get into Android system recovery and Odin mode on the tablet.
It reads the SD CARD.
I have wiped data,factory reset and wiped cache partition.
It will not connect to my PC (tried 3 different ones) via the usb cable. I have the drivers installed via the Samsung_Galaxy_Note_ToolKit but the PC's just say USB Device Not Recognized unknown Device Hardware device not connected to this computer (Kies is not installed).
So i cant use the PC to connect to the tablet to use the tool kit or ODIN to flash any recovery.
Does this mean its most likely a hardware problem?
Faulty cable?
Is there a STOCK/CUSTOM ROM that i can install using the ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY via a .zip file that i can put on the SD CARD that will pass the signature verification to set it booting normally?
Thank you in Advance for any advice or suggestions.

I have seen this condition a lot lately.
How old is your Note 10.1, do you have the original factory cable and what condition is it in?
Not being able to connect to your computer is not good.

I bought it 0ct 2012 so its passed the 1 year warranty. Haven't contacted Samsung yet.
If it becoming common then is a mass complaint of all the effected units in order?
The cable is the original factory one. Seems fine on the outside. It charges normally and the PC sees it connected but just as an unknown device.
Tried to connect with the Kies (after downloading and installing) not still no connection.
Might try connecting it to my sisters Mac book tonight.
Buy a new cable?
Any repairers in the England sussex area to fix if worst comes to the worst?
Thanks

I can't figure out eitheir its hard or soft.

i used different cables and pcs but still not recognised
yesterday i used odin with those options :
BL/AP/CP/CSC and checked
Auto-reboot
F.reset Time
phone EFS Clear
Phone bootloader update
it has taking some while to execute but after that my phone was working and detectable again by my pc the problem was resolved for a couple of hours, in the evening the problem occured again.
and i have tried the process again the same why but no connection at all.
i don't know if its a hardware problem or software related problem
because the usb work when i m in restore mode (Odin mode) otherwise no.
Its an advance problem i already check all about usb / cable and pcs related problem.
Problem resolved
I sent my S6 to Samsung SAV it take them 4 days.
they doesn't give me proper answers on what they have done but i saw that my mini-usb plug is new so i expect that they got this part changed accrodingly the samsung has no sign of damage its a clean operation.
Its now detectable. It was indeed a Hardware problem
i have the same issue but in a g928f
today i changer my lcd with the micro usb flex
so all is new except the main board and still is not recognised at any pc with any cable.
i am really starting to feel very sorry for this phone.
odin does not see it at all even at download mode.
i don't know what else to do.
Software or Hardware Issue
I have a s6 920t that I am suppose to pay for at the end of the day. I got it from a friend who bought it while overseas. The only time my computer detects it is in download mode/odin mode, I hear the sound and I see it as "Added". When I try to connect any other way I don't hear the sound my laptop makes when it has detected a new device also otg cables don't work. I just simply want to know if this a software or a hardware issue? Software I can fix but if it is hardware I don't want to waste my money. Please anyone reply as soon as you can so I can decide what to do.
Thank you
I have two S6 Edge and one of them started doing this (phone only appears on USB when in Download mode). When swapping the motherboard between the phones, it works. So the problem isn't with the motherboard, but the USB connection module attached with the ribbon cable... There must be a chip on the module which gets locked somehow and replacing the board is at least one way to fix it. Hopefully someone finds another method without replacing the charger board?
Hello,
I have bought a new Samsung Note 8 and took the sim Card from the S8+ out and changed it to the Note 8.
The S8+ is rooted and the ROM from CARHD is flashed.
After the new boot from my S8+ there stands in small letters : CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED BY FRP
After that the S8+ powers down.
I thought no problem and wanted to initialize the S8+ with smart switch.
and now the problem : The S8+ does not connect to any PC in download mode. And i can not boot into recovery mode.
I tried it on 3 different PC´s with the original cable installed all drivers completly new. But no detection anymore. (unknown USB device)
The Note 8 is always detected but not the S8+
Does anybody have an solution for this or is the phone completly dead ?
I don´t know how i can try to get on.... I would be happy for every help or solution i could try.
Thanks in advance
Does really no one know what i can do ????
Can you boot to the download screen? You get to it by using the bixby+vol down+power. If so, you can use Odin to install an official rom or install twrp recovery and install a custom rom
Hello,
I can boot to download mode but the PC does not detect the phone right...it is always unknown usb device. That´s the big Problem. So i am not able to Flash anything.
Only suggestions would be to either uninstall and the re-install the Samsung mobile drivers on your 'puter or try another 'puter if you have one. Sounds like it's related to the pc and not the phone.
If you have read what i have written ... I tried it on 3 differnet PC´s and every other phone is detected. I think the phone is dead. I reinstalled also all Drivers.
The only way to get out of it is to find a way to detect the phone again.
OK - when you are in download mode and connected to Odin, does your phone show up as an activated ID COM port?
Hello, no it is an unknown usb device ! Thats the Problem. !
