I recently soft-bricked my Vibrant so now it get stuck at the Vibrant screen and it is hardware locked. I can get my phone into download mode using adb but then it does not show up in ODIN. When I plug the phone in during the Vibrant screen, it shows up as COM 6 but then it is removed when it gets to Download mode.
I searched around for a while looking for a solution and tried a bunch of things but nothing worked.
Also, when I plug my phone in during download mode, it says "The USB device attached to the computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
I'm on Windows XP 32-bit
PC Not Recognizing Vibrant in Download Mode
My stock, rooted Vibrant was soft-bricked by the latest update. I've been following the instructions on this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492, but cannot get Odin to recognize the device in Download Mode.
One caveat of my current situation is that I'm running Windows XP (32bit) on VMWare on a Mac. Not sure if this is the cause of my pain, but I simply don't have a PC handy.
Currently, when the phone is connected via USB in Recovery Mode, it mounts and everything is cheery. Even on the Mac side, adb recognizes the device and lets me tunnel into it. But the instant I boot into Download Mode the computer no longer recognizes it.
I've reinstalled drivers, tried using 64-bit versions of drivers, tried Kies, but Odin simply does not see the device in Download Mode.
Has anyone experienced this and resolved the issue? Should I hunt down a PC and ditch VMware? That's pretty much my final option prior to heading down to T-Mobile.

What version of Odin were you using 1.0 or 1.3?

It's the Mac....sounds like you've done everything correctly. do you have the option for Parallels?
Download mode uses a different usb driver. If you are running in a vm you need to set the vm app to pass that usb device thru to the guest os.. i use odin in virtualbox on linux just fine. I haven't tried it on osx though. There's also an app in development in the i9000 dev forum that runs natively on osx.
@shinybuddha unfortunately parallels is not an option, but I could likely hunt down a PC
@ttabbal thanks for the tip, I've been suspicious of the drivers. Currently I have version 5.2.0.5 installed, and when connecting the Vibrant in download mode, a "Generic Serial Device" appears, but fails to connect.
Unfortunately the device exhibits the same behavior on the Mac side, and isn't being recognized in Download Mode, at least not by "adb devices".
Is there a specific driver I should install in the virtual XP os? Or could you provide a link to the osx app?
I think I need to find a PC. After scouring the forums it appears there has been no successful Odin use on a Mac via VM.

Also discovered this interesting bit from the Heimdall developer:
After some serious investigation and a bit low-level debugging it appears as though there is very little I can do to correct the GT-I9000's lack of USB specification compliance when in download mode. When in download mode the GT-I9000 is using an embedded Gadget Serial driver and not the one provided by the linux kernel (zImage). As such I have made Samsung aware of the issue although I don't know if they will resolve it or how long it will take.

My Vibrant is back! Done in 30 minutes, after spending 3 days trying to get it to work via VM on a Mac. Sometimes iCan't.
Just to help out anyone else with a similar problem using Windows directly... I also found that Odin would recognize my phone when on normally but not in download mode. To solve, what I did was put the phone in download mode, then open up device manager and there was a new unknown device... gave it the path to the downloaded drivers and let it install. Then another unknown device popped up (might have to close and reopen device manager, or refresh, or unplug and plug phone). Pointed it to drivers download again and it magically appeared in Odin.

What drivers did you "point" too. Im having the same issue as you, except in my device manager is says "Gadget Serial." Either way, I need my PC to recognize my phone in download mode so please help!
I had the same proble. It showed Gadget serial in device manager. I uninstalled all other samsung and keis related drivers and installed 5.2.0.4 and it worked out fine. You can download them from here. Good luck.

Hi guys,
I am trying to use Odin 1.7, but I cannot get it to recognize my tab while in download mode. I can use Heimdall just fine.
I installed the USB drivers, but Odin does not show anything when I launch it.
I'm on Windows 7 and it shows "Gadget Serial" when plugged in.
Anyone have any advice for me?
Bump, can anyone give any advice? I can't get Odin to see that my tab is connected. Heimdall sees it just fine though.
Note, when I try to install the Odin 1.7 drivers, it tells me that the most updated drivers are already installed. Are the drivers for Heimdall the same ones as the Odin drivers?
Thanks!

First you have to sync with Kies to get the right drivers installed. So download Kies, install it, connect youre tab with the pc and let youre device sync once with Kies. As all is ok, then you will see in youre device-manager from youre pc a "Samsung Mobile device' or something simular.
After that turn on usb-debugging. Put youre phone in the download-modus, [turn it off, press and hold volume-down+powerbutton] Start Odin, and the connect youre phone with the pc. You will see in Odin on the left a yellow box with the com-port.
On the end you are allowed if you dont use Kies to uninstall it. Leave the Samsungdrivers as they are.

I didn't think that Kies recognized CDMA tabs. Is that incorrect? Also, I tried looking the other day, but can you point me to the correct version of Kies to download?
If you use windows 7 it already has the drivers, but you have to connect to the pc, and go to network settings, usb, then copy files to pc, then disconnect, then you can reconnect the tab when it is in download mode.
So I already tried reading most of the threads about this problem but sadly I wasn't able to find the answer to my problem. I just recently reformatted my computer and thought that I want to return to stock ROM for now. But when I entered download mode and plugged the cable in, Odin cannot detect the phone.
I got frustrated after trying so I restarted my phone without disconnecting the cable. When the phone booted up normally, Odin was able to detect the phone, so I tried download mode again, nothing, now I tried recovery mode, detected.
I already tried:
- Installing Kies
- Installing just the drivers
- Trying debug on/off
Also, I've been having problems with "Samsung Mobile USB Modem" "An error occurred during the installation of the device. The required section was not found in the INF." Could this be the cause of the first problem?
Yes I just made this account to ask you guys this.
try new version odin search at caliban666 thread,if im not wrong he post a new version of odin.try installing a new samsung driver at dokys thread.i hope this will help u...
Try installing the drivers again..
If possible download them again..
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**
So only the download mode that isn't detected by odin? I have the same problem before. Here, when you go into download mode but odin doesn't detect your phone, press the power button until your phone turns black and don't let it to reboot. If your phone already turns black then go into download mode again (volume down+power+home). Odin should detect it.
For your 2nd problem, here you can download the samsung usb driver pack, I also experienced that after installing kies then "an error occured blabla". Driver here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11498043

Can a member who can use Odin with their GT-S5360 connect the 5360 in "Download Mode" to their PC, open Windows Device Manager and copy / paste the Device Instance ID shown under:
+Universal Serial Bus controllers
...Composite Device
by right-clicking it, choose Properties, then Details?
On my PC, it is shown as 'Unkown Device' with the following Device Instance ID:
USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&2E64F456&0&1
Which is most likely not what it should be.
I want to know what it should be.
I have two Galaxy Y's (one soft-bricked, the other working fine) and both show the same ID.
BTW, I have tried every port on the back of my PC with four Samsung data cables and three third-party cables and I cannot get Windows or Odin to recognize the GT-S5360 in download mode (both phones).
I have downloaded and installed / uninstalled / rebooted, etc. with the following versions of Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones:
1.3.1500
1.4.8
1.5.9
1.5.15
1.5.23
1.5.33
I have downloaded but cannot install version:
1.5.49
MCC InstallWizard says it "could not" install the drivers but no error message or log is given.
And for some reason, the "have disk" method of installing the drivers doesn't work either.
My PC is running XP SP3 x86, offline.
I download all files to my working phone, and transfer them to the PC.
One last thing, can someone who has USB driver version 1.5.49 installed, open Windows Services and check to see if the Samsung Connection service has started and is running?

Just reinstall your operating system of pc and install the drivers again. Everything will be fine.
Else try connecting it to another computer. It will WORK for 100^(1000000)%.

Hi people,
Long time ago installed TWRP on my samsung galaxy s5 SM-G900f so i could install a custom rom but never got around to it. Recently have realised that i can't update the OS on my phone due to having unauthentic software (or similar term) installed. While trying to reinstall the stock bootloader for android my phone got stuck on a loop of the TWRP logo and will only let me boot into download mode. After researching online I found out that i can stop this by installing CWM which will replace TWRP. Installed odin and everything on my laptop only to find my phone now won't be recognised by my PC and I am therefore stuck on what to do next?? (it would connect before this happened)
Any help will be hugely appreciated, thank you in advance!!
Get a stock ROM from sammobile .com firmware section, put the phone in download mode, and flash with ODIN 3.10.7

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the advice, I have tried that but my laptop won't recognise the phone. I believe i have the correct drivers installed as it used to connect fine. I can put it into download/odin mode but i can't even locate it in the device manager let alone ODIN 3.10.7. If you could link me the correct/official drivers it would be much appreciated as all the one's I've tried have the same result.
Grab KIES3 from samsungs site, that installs the drivers, although windows always seems to install them for me automatically when I connect the phone
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
You can try fixing the phone with KIES before ODIN too if you want (Firmware recovery)
Phone has to be in Download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power) to flash from ODIN
ODIN will show a port number at the top when it sees your phone, as seen here with COM6 in blue
http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/...samsung--galaxy-s-iii-I535VRALHD-ROM-ODIN.jpg
I've just installed kies and tried both ODIN and emergency firmware recovery but still neither recognise the phone, on Kies3 i get to a menu stating "list of devices requiring emergency recovery" and the box is blank (phone always plugged in, in download mode)
In odin no COM port is recognised, no text in upper boxes
Use a different PC / Cable
Tried both, used 3 different cables and 3 different pc's (2 windows 10 and 1 windows 7) after installing kies and odin on both still got same result as on my laptop. Although on windows 7 after i waited several minutes for the box to light up in odin a message came up from windows saying that no device driver has been installed for "unknown device"? thank you again for your help!
Seems strange that multiple PCs can't see it, there are some samsung drivers kicking about you could try, if I can find them I`ll link here

Somedays ago, i rooted my samsung galaxy s6 edge plus (sm-g928f). I was checking the settings and by mistake i have turned off the developer mode in settings and when i restarted mobile it is showing frp lock neither i can turn on mobile nor i can go to recovery... There is only one option for flashing firmware through download mode from odin but my mobile doesn't connects to any pc and laptop, I have checked with diffrent cables in different computers with all samsung drivers installed.
so, please tell me the solution. I can only charge the mobile now. I cant turn on mobile and recovery because of frp lock and neither connect through download mode as usb not detecting at all..
so, now:
*i cant switch on my phone
*cant go to recovery mode
*cant connect by usb cable
Please Develeopers and experts please give me the solution for this problem.

As I already mentioned,I cannot connect mobile to PC through usb,it's download mode is not detecting in any PC in odin even all samsung drivers installed.
What USB drivers did you install?
Try removing the ones you have installed and then booting into download mode and letting windows get them automatically. I haven't installed any drivers for my phone, I plug in the USB and Windows detects and downloads them.... I'm on windows 10.
