PC&Odin not able to detect phone via USB after flashing custom ROM: tried dif pc too
Hi all,
I've recently flashed this awesome ROM: [GearCM][i9500][4.4.4] Optimized CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Galaxy S4 [20140912] in my device. ROM works great, very stable, fast performance, however since install, I am not able to detect my phone via USB. Not even ODIN sees the device connected.
Was doing my research before posting, so I will let you know what I've tried which was recommended in other posts and google:
1. Re-installed Samsung USB Drivers: No Go
2. Used different USB Cables (using stock one that came w/ phone right now): No Go
3. Tried different USB Ports: No Go
4. Tried a different PC: No Go
5. Yes, I am testing with my screen unlocked
Anything else I can try? Maybe a setting in my Phone?
Thanks!

Odin should always see your phone in download mode. No rom will change that.
If Odin doesn't detect your phone in download mode then it's either a:
- Driver problem
- Cable/port problem
- Faulty usb port

By the way, the device charges normally when connected to my computer USB.

Good call. Odin is not detecting the phone in download mode-- so I guess we can eliminate problem in the device configuration.
I'm going to try again in another PC and different cables. Maybe my Cable went bad, sucks because it's pretty new? Going to copy Odin to a pen drive so I can try in friends computer. On other PCs I only tried connecting in Windows-- no download mode & odin.

Ok, so I was able to get working back.
I enabled developer options by going in about and clicking the build 7 times. Proceeded to go to Debugging options and selected Android Debugging marked. Reinstalled Drivers again, then it showed PC connected as Media Device on notifications. I clicked there and changed to Camera PTP and then back to MTP.
Now I'm able to see the Device again!
No idea why I was not able to see it in Odin while on download mode, however, I can see it now even when not download mode.
Thread can be closed, thanks!

S4 Soft Bricked? Advice/Help?

Hello,
I was running Fenny's Stock Rom 4.2 on my S4 i9505 I was going good and then i flashed Stock 4.3 using mobile odin pro.
Now S4 is stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Screen.
worst than that my laptop was not detecting the phone through USB cable. When i used to connect the cable with my phone it was not asking for any connection mode option in the notification.
Now I guess I can't flash it through odin using PC
Any other way out? How can i fix this?
Waiting for advices and suggestions .....

You do know you have to boot the phone into download mode in order to flash roms with Odin on the PC, right?Use the original cable and try different usb ports.
Or, if you had a custom recovery, does it work anymore?

Thanks for your response,
Yes i am in download mode waiting for odin to make me smile ... But nothing..
No costum recovery everything went back tu stock thats why i am stuck now ��

Then try the cable and usb port thing. It's mostly caused by those.

Tried 4 different ports and two cables, my other samsung phone can talk to my pc using same port and cable ��
So is this means my phone's port is not working for data transfer? even though it is charging my cell phone.

Power Button+Home Button+Volume Down Button
Sent from my SM-A500F using XDA Forums

That ll take me to download mode and its if no use as i wrote above my cell is not being detected by odin/pc..

Try reinstalling usb drivers
or
another PC
it worked FOR me

Tried windows 7 and then 8 and mac book still no luck

You might have to take it to repair center and have them reinstall the software. They have tools that we simple mortals don't

it was was the hardware issue infact the charging port was having it Rx/Tx Pin faulty as per the lap guy in my area. He replaced the strip for it and now I can flash any thing using odin

connectivity issue

hello
i have a problem with my g928f
my issue is that it can not be regognized by the windows
i have tried at my desktop with win 10 and at my laptop with windows 7 and at both says unknown device,
i have tried everything i know of
unistall everything from the pc regarding samsung drivers
install it again , nothing
install smart switch , nothing
install kies, nothing
run odin , not even see the phone at download mode
made factory reset from recovery , nothing
charge is working just fine both from pc and my wall charger
i tried mhl hdmi and nothing happened
tried just now otg cable with a usb drive , again nothing
just a week ago i was using it just fine with my pc
should i take it to a store to check my micro usb port??

noone??
today i replaced the screen with a new one witch had a new usb dock on it and the problem is still here
i can not connect it to any pc.
i cann't flash the stock rom because odin is not see it also

is it possible to be a rom problem????
i can't flash the stock one because of the usb issue
but i think i can download another lollipop rom to give it a try.

Have you made sure that it is set as MTP?
Setting - Storage - USB.

Check if the device gets connected in Fastboot mode. If it doesn't then it would be your USB.

sideload is not working either
usb is brand new and original.

is there a way to flash stock rom via recovery?

A800i USBsettings has stopped

Guys could anyone help me?
My phone is Samsung A8 variant A800i non-rooted and already 6.0.1.
Eversince I upgraded to MM thru ODIN I am encountering an error in my OTG as in it won't read any disk... the only resort to make the otg work again is to reflash my phone. However during the most recent otg failure, a "USBsettings has stopped" was shown. I factory reset my phone but still this notification appears everytime I start my phone. So when I decided to reflash my phone, I was shocked that my laptop only charges my phone. It can't even detect my files thru mtp connection.
I tried the following and my laptop still can't detect my phone:
1. At the Developers Option I tried to switch the USB Configuration from MTP to Charging to MTP and various other switching, while connected and unconnected to laptop.
2. Dialled *#0808# to reset USBsettings but I am only getting "USBsettings" has stopped.
3. I reinstalled the USBsettings.apk from the system folder (via total commander).
4. I have installed USBsettings.apk taken from another phone.
By the way before I tried the above methods I have already eliminated the cable and pc problems since using the same cable and laptop, I can connect my other samsung phone thru mtp and is detected by odin. I have also tried various other desktop on Windows 7 and 10 but still the same problem: these only charges my phone.
Moreover, there is no abnormality in my charging time eversince this happened.
Hope someone could help me make this work again.
Thank You.

Odin not detecting device on download mode

Help! i want to flash official firmware -GT i9500
In past i was able to flash via odin on same pc and now its not showing usb all driver installed
already try changing data cable and diffrent ports i even tried reinstalling win7 and diffrent version of kies and drivers
i dont have other pc or laptops . other samsung phone is showing on download mode on same pc.
odin only shows my phone when i pull battery while connected to usb on download mode and i can flash twrp recovery or
any small size file but cant flash full firmware its disconect after some seconds
it connects well on mtp mode and twrp.

I have the same problem with my S4. I tested J5 2016 and it is connecting properly with the same cable, drivers, etc, either with odin or in normal situations when phone is on. also S8+ connects with its cable and same drivers, etc. But S4 is repeatedly connecting-disconnecting, either in downloading mode or normal situations.
I installed this driver "https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows" which is "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.51".

Already tried it didnt work. i dont have disconnecting issue on normal mode i can send and recive via usb mtp to pc for your disconnect problem if it disconnect after phone screen off, go to control panel>sytem &security>power option>change paln setting>change advanced power setting>expand all usb setting =enable change to disable.
If anyone has solution to OP please reply
Thank you!

I eventually succeed! Nothing special just used my brothers' laptop (win 7). same cable, same driver (1.5.51).
My primary problem was WiFi and Bluetooth not working. I was hopeful flashing will solve it but unfortunately no. Seems a hardware problem.
With your recommendation (enable to disable) i saw no change with my pc (win 7).
