S2 problems with win7x64

Does not want to connect to kies, no idea why, the drivers seem to install.
Can't root it

Uninstall your current kies and then download lies from Samsung website and reinstall. This fixed the issue for me.

hmmm... I installed the latest version dowloaded from sammy site,
are you saying i need to re-install the software a few times and everything will be ok...?
Golly gosh.

Yeah also just tried that, it just gives me "Cennecting..." top left corner of Kies, and then it just stops trying to connect, hmm, also tried Win 7 x84 through virtual desktop. hmm

Double check that usb debugging is disabled. I had the same issue and this sorted it.

Did you uninstall the previous version?

Yes I did, it just doesn't want to connect, and I have the debug mode on, since I'm trying to connect the phone while in download mode.
Odin3
I get
"<ID:0/008> Added!!
<ID:0/008> Odin v.3 engine (ID:8)..
<ID:0/008> File analysis..
<ID:0/008> SetupConnection.."
OPENED superoneclick
pressed root, gives me two OK's and the "waiting for device" and freezes up.
And that's it.
(also tried a simple connect to kies without debug mode, main part of phone, does not connect, after uninstalling old soft and installing new, after reboots)
ARRGH
I want to go back on my desire....

Can i ask if you are using touchwiz? Or a third part launcher?

yeah touchwizzy (bag of poopy)
on the phone it actually says connected, when debug is off. arrrgh piece of...

are you sure youre using a USB DATA cable? i had an issue like this for a month, found out my cable wasnt good, make sure its a data cable, and that its working, can you get mass storage working? if you cant the cable is probably bad

I got mine to work after getting it from phones4u I simply had to unmount, remount the sd card and format it. Since then everything seems golden.
Hope this helps

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH help I'm having exactly the same problem, can anyone help?!

I solved the problem by unistalling samsung driver's from windows device manager..
Open kies , and connect the phone again, stop the phone from installing drivers automatically. Open tools on kies and install drivers manually
Should now work.. Make sure usb debugging is off all the way.

How do you stop the phone from installing drivers automatically?? Thanks

This is driving me up the wall. I've tried installing the drivers manually using Kies but although my phone appears as a connected device in Kies I can't view anything that's on the phone and I can't transfer files onto it!! Any ideas anyone?!

As the little pop up comes up on the notification area of your taskbar.. click on the notification and there is a install manually option. or something similar offering to stop the automatic install(Sorry, I can't remember exactly what it says); but that option exists

You uninstalled the Samsung drivers from device manager?

I found that mine wouldn't connect even though I had the latest Kies and had installed the drivers through Kies.
I found that simply by unlocking the screen on the device is began the connection process correctly and would connect fine. If the phone is slept with the screen off it won't connect for me.

ODIN Problem

I really want to root my galaxy s and start trying out custom roms but odin doesnt recognise my phone when in download mode. When i reboot the phone a com port turns yellow straight away. Ive tried uninstalling the usb drivers and kies but its still not working.

Odin requires Kies or USB drivers and debugging to be off .
Com port yellow means Odin has found the phone .
Are you following the instructions that are basically load Odin load the firmware into Odin as Instructed .
Put phone to download mode then connect the Samsung USB cable .
jje

Yes I have the drivers and kies and tried with debugging on and off and I am also correctly following the very simple instructions.

Try another USB port

Tell us exactly which steps you are following and we can tell you if there are any mistakes.
BTW Are you using the original usb cable?. I bought a cheap usb cable in ebay and it is good for charging or transferring files, but it never worked with odin.

Ive tried 2 different computers. Im following the instructions for the cf root. i downloaded the file for JVO, extracted it and put the .tar file in the PDA section of ODIN. I then turned off my phone and put in into download mode then connected the phone to the pc with the cable that came with the phone. In odin nothing happnes. When i reboot the phone, a com port turns yellow. Ive tried connecting the phone first then getting the .tar file and still not working.

Before flashing the kernel you have to flash stock JVO rom with the pit, pda, modem and csc files.

This is a good beginning: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596

The cf root guide i used didnt say that i had to flash stock JVO rom

The path you should follow:
1) Install Kies. Full
2) Check if Kies sees ur phone normally. If yes goto:3
3) Open odin
4) Kill ALL kies processes.
4) put your phone into download mode
5) Connect USB. Odin should react. If not, try other USB/cable
6) Profit
Have Really done that all?

try install Kies last version
and odin 1.82 for Galaxy S (( GT-I9000 ))
and will be fix, ansallh

Kies recognises my phone and i have followed the other steps but odin still doesnt recognise my phone in download mode.

You mean that Odin recognises the phone in non download mode?

Yes odin recognises my phone ONLY in normal mode.

Start does Kies see your phone
Does USB mass storage mode work on phone/PC
Is Debugging turned off .
Put phone in download mode Open Odin
Now connect USB cable does first block ID Com turn Yellow .

Yes kies sees my phone, mass storage works and usb debugging is off, i have also tried with debugging on but it still didnt work. Ive tried this so many times and its still not working.

Put phone in download mode Open Odin

also have you tried other versions of Odin
What sort of files are you trying to flash and what part of Odin are you putting the files in .

Rooting GT-I9000 2.3.5 XXJVS - odin doesn't detect phone in

I'm using this method to root my device: http://androidflip.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-running-on-xxjvs-android-2-3-5-gingerbread/
When I connect the device to USB in normal mode, Odin detects the device. But when I enter the download mode (voice down+menu button+boot button and yellow android appears) then the Odin won't detect my device.
Debugging is enabled under settings.
I have tried every imaginable scenario and rebooted my device total of 20 times but still the same problem.

any tutorial how to root Galaxy S I9000 with heimdall?

this thing is buggy as hell. Tryed on another computer, finally managed to get connection in download mode. Then got stuck twice on rooting procedure and had to reboot. Case closed.

you can try and unistall all the drivers and start over again but u make sure also to check if u have a damaged usb cabel or something because i hade that problem

Generally when that happens, I try another port.

USB Device Not Recognized in Download Mode [SOLVED]

so yeah.. im on Lite-ing rom 2.6.. i came from a 2.3.6 rom, used odin to flash, everything went fine. i went to update to liteing rom 2.7 and went into download mode, but when i go into download mode and connect my phone, i get USB Device Not Recognized .. it doesnt happen when my phone is turned on and connected, everything works fine, no issues. its only when im in Download Mode that i have this problem..
SOOO trying to be smart i plugged my phone in, it connected COM3 appeared, i rebooted phone into download mode, and flashed my rom.. it goes half way and then that USB Device Not Recognized popped up.. so now my phone is bricked i swear.. i cant even get into Recovery Mode, and Download Mode is useless..
what ive tried so far:
3 different computers (all running W7)
all USB ports on all computers
Installing, Uninstalling, Wiping all Kies data, lots of restarting
tried 4 USB cables
ive been at this for HOURS.. someone please help me.. im so far in over my head here and im afraid my phone is gonna be gone for good
*note: i had both SIM and MicroSD card removed thru all of this
SOLVEDDD
i did it omg.. well i hope someone in the future can look at this and maybe get some help.. heres what i did:
so i opened up odin3, plugged the USB into the computer (but not phone yet), restarted Download Mode (yes this actually makes a difference) and plugged the micro end into the phone, and look what popped up!
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
but aww it went to remove immediately ..
so i unplug micro end from phone, pop battery and re enter Download Mode, then plug in again,
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
ahh it did it again.. lets try again (btw simply unplugging and replugging didnt trigger this effect, i had to restart Download Mode each time). so then this time i got THISS
<ID:0/003> Added!!
yay it didnt remove itself, held breath, moved slowly, clicked Start and phew it worked.. i thought it was all over for me.. anyways i hope someone will search this up one day and itll offer some help.

I did search, and thanks for writing abt your experience.
I'll try and reply soon ....
-------------------------------------------
OK, here is what i did.
Reinstalled Kies.
Restarted PC.
Connected Phone to kies in Samsung Kies mode.
Restarted in Download Mode, then connected to USB.
Voila... it was detected.

Helped me. Thanks

for me, the only way i could get it to work, plug in cord (only into comp) put back into download mode, plug in BEFORE i volume up to continue, plug in, vol up to continue and then it downloaded the drivers

here is the good news
i faced this problem in my s2 .. I've done all the things that you do[what ive tried so far: 3 different computers (all running W7) ..all USB ports on all computers ..Installing, Uninstalling, Wiping all Kies data, lots of restarting .. tried 4 USB cables] and finly nothing happend .. Then I had an idea that to clean the phone usb port - look in the picture - and thats work the phone go in to a download mode perfectly

Is not working for me.

Pluging the micro-USB cable just before hitting the Vol.Up button did the trick for me too.
Thanks a lot !
(tried on Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus GT-S5301)

Really helped me a lot !!!! Thank u so much !!!!

I found that using RAMDUMP Mode instead of Download Mode forces the phone to be detected by Odin.. Samsung Galaxy S Plus here...

in my situation the s2 was bricked while attempting to reset to stock after rooting and unlocking. (no usb recognition, grey battery icon or downloading screen only) i used ODIN like you suggested but it wouldnt for some reason work.. the id com window stayed blank with the stock restore file ready to load. i then did the vol dwn, pwr and home again while disconnected, loaded the jeeboo-kernal, plugged the usb back in and when the odins id com lit up i quikly reloaded the stock rom file and it worked!! whew

I was pushing the wrong buttons for download mode on Galaxy Edge. I was pushing volume up, home and power, got into download mode but wouldnt connect via USB (odin). What worked was pressing volume down, home and power, came to a different download screen, then connected to PC then pressed the volume up key, worked perfect and able to update my phone to Lolipop only taken 2 days to work it out

Can I just Add
Hi all
For anyone looking at this in future there is something else you may have to keep in mind (assuming you are using windows 7) when trying to connect the Samsung device to the computer. If it shows "USB Device Not recognized" then you need to go into device manager and expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and right click on the device called "Unknown Device" and then uninstall. This will force windows to attempt to install the Samsung drivers again and hopefully increase your odds of getting it to work.
if you combine this technique with all the others described above and in previous posts and threads then you are almost definitely going to be able to fix your problem with the Odin connection issue.
Good luck
best regards

is my phone dead?
I recently installed CM12.1 on my i605 and it was working great for the last couple weeks. This morning I woke up to the "Samsung Galaxy note II" screen. I tried rebooting it but it stops at the opening screen. Booting into recovery did not work at all and booting into Download mode works, but when I connected it to my computer to try to use ODIN, the device couldn't be found. I also tried installing samsung drivers, but nothing I've done has worked to help my PC recognize my note 2. If anyone knows of any tricks to get into the phone and flash a new ROM, please help!

i know right

[BRICKED/URGENT] Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900

My mother has this model which long ago I rooted for her and installed a custom ROM for better battery, recently the phone turned off and never turned on again, at first I thought of the battery which was indeed completely uncharged but after that the phone wouldn't even turn on or charge (had to charge with a battery charger) it doesn't enter recovery mode or ever show the samsung logo when turning it on, but it can enter Download Mode, I have tried repartitioning since I have the .pit file with the newest Lollipop ROM but it gets stuck in initialized in ODIN, I don't know it there's any way in which I could solve this problem since she cannot go to Samsung and needs urgently her phone and I want to be able to fix it, I have all the drivers installed, the newest version of ODIN downloaded and everything and I know it is not dead from the motherboard since it can enter into Download Mode, has someone been able to fix this?

You are using a stock rom in Odin? Tried using the original Samsung USB cable? Try different cables and USB ports. Also try a different computer and operating system.
The fact that the phone goes to Odin mode is a good sign.

Odin mode is a good sign. Change the cable, the USB port and check the drivers. Also try a different computer, if you can.

Still nothing
Yeah I have practically changed form all the USBs in my laptop, from 3.0 to 2.0, also from my PC. I have tried the microSD card fix that I read from the N900T forum using a N900 unbrick.img file and everything but it still gets stuck on the initialization phase of ODIN, I have tried with ODIN 1.85, 3.07, 3.09, 3.10.7, with three 3.0 USB cables and 2 2.0 cables. I'm using the last stock N900 5.0 firmware that showed up, don't know what else to do, and there's no Samsung repair center here so thats not an option :C. Does somebody knows what else I can do? Because the computer recognizes the device as a normal Download Mode Samsung phone and ODIN shows it properly and everything, it just doesn't make like the right serial connection with the computer.
Edit: I have also discovered that when I disconnect the phone after minutes of staying in initialization it shows in ODIN that it failed but 3 lines of code appear:
Get PIT for mapping..
There is no PIT partition.
All threads removed
Don't know if it means something.

Seems like the NAND shat itself if it can't repartition.

Find a pit file for your phone. Make sure the pit file matches the amount of memory in your phone.

Already did, it doesn't get past the initialization part in ODIN with either the pit or any file

What about attempting a reflash with kies or smartswitch?
With Odin, you're using the original Samsung cable? Try other cables and USB ports?

Yep, have count exactly 14 USB ports to now, and Kies gets stuck at 0% :C

Progress?
Ok, after fiddling around with ODIN for almost 5 hours I decided to give Heimdall and its cousin JOdin3 a try. I deleted all the Samsung drivers even the logs with USBdeview and replaced the generic serial driver with the WinUSB one in order to use heimdall without the usblib error -12.
Everything fine with it and I have advanced in the way that it now kinda interacts with the phone via serial and not just initializes, but its receiveing an error which I cannot find a way to solve: https://goo.gl/FJJWJT
Anyone knows something about it?, I won't stop till I fix this hahaha

Question:
If I bought the motherboard of a SM-N900W8 that also has an Exynos chip would it work?, it's really hard to find a motherboard for the SM-N900. And the software doesn't seem to go anywhere :C

Someone?
