I have a Samsung Galaxy S (i9000). If I connect it to PC, I can see it is charging but I can not see the phone nor in Explorer or Download Mode.
The phone is using [NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy S and I have installed it via CWM. No matter what ROm I installed via CWM, I could not see the phone in Explorer.
Another problem I encountered is that the phone can not be shut down: if I choose Shut Down it is restarting.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Are you on windows 8?
Install the newest USB-Driver in Windows-7-Compatibility-Mode. If you are not on windows 8 it could help anyway.

Another solution for accesing your phone would be Airdroid on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.
I would try to reflash your rom to solve your other problem.
I am using Windows 7.
I want to access Download Mode in order to change the ROM with ODIN.
I do not know how to reflash it. Can you provide me more details?
Thank you.
Save your Data and make a backup before doing anything.
First of all try to go to recovery wipe chache + dalvik + fix permissions reboot
Factory-Reset would be next to try.
If wiping does not help:
Solution 1 - Odin:
Access Download Mode over Powermenu -> Bootloader
or with shutdown (in your case press power ~8 seconds or remove battery), press volume-down + home + power than flash a rom with Odin.
Solution 2 Download your prefered rom copy the zip-File to your phone and flash it through recovery (same way you installed CM 10.1). Wipe cache + dalvik in recovery.
HOWTO GET INTO RECOVERY:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME UP + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME UP + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until Display lights up, then release only POWER Button
- Still hold VOLUME UP + HOME until you got into Recovery
- Release all Buttons
------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWTO GET INTO DOWNLOAD-MODE (Bootloader):
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
Thank you for answering my question, but I already did all of above. Even so, the problem is that my phone can not be seen in Download Mode.

But you managed to install a working rom?
Tried with another usb-cabel, computer or usb-port?
Perhaps this helps, although i never used Mobile Odin.

hello
i'm new here at the forum.
i have a problem with the superman rom
i rooted my phone i installed the rom but now my phone is already 30 minutes on a red screen ( from the superman rom i think )
i cant go anymore to the recovery by using volume up home and power buttom.
what can i do? help please i need my phone :crying:
able to reboot the phone by keep pressing the power button?
if can.. 1st times reboot immediately pressing volume up, home and power button and it will reboot again.. A 2nd times reboot release the power button only.
Red screen = wrong kernel flashed (you flashed s7 flat kernel on s7 edge)(There's an option to select kernel during installation. You probably selected wrong option or didn't check it)
This can be solved easily by flashing the right kernel.
Everything but display should still work normally, so you should be able to enter recovery by holding power+home+volume up when the phone is off or before the s7 logo come up.
If you still cannot enter recovery mode. You can enter download mode by holding power+home+volume down and flash stock firmware with it and start over. But for this problem, you probably not need to do this.

Hey mate,
like NonXtreme said, it looks like you installed the wrong kernel, so just reboot your device by pressing Power + Home + Vol Down, and when the device shut down press directly Power + Home + Vol Up, now you should get into the recovery.
Now you have to reinstall the Rom with the correct Kernel! (g935f maybe).
Let me know if there are further questions.
Hello folks,
After a few years using a Windows Phone I basically forgot everything about Android. I got a new Galaxy A510F and I'd like to know a few things.
I enabled OEM unlocking in the developer settings and installed TWRP via ODIN. When I try to boot into the recovery I only get the stock recovery and not TWRP. It is a carrier-device, but in the settings I can enable OEM unlocking. What am I doing wrong?
I hate Samsungs UI. Is there a Stock Android ROM like on Google phones?
Please help me :-/
all the best,
Albert
after flashing twrp don't start your phone after pass dialog, disconnect usb from pc & plug in charger then press vol down + power button together untill your phone switch off, when big battery charging simbol appear on screen press vol up + menu + power button u'll get ur recovery after some time
Hey,
Thank you! I eventually did succeeded with an older Version of Odin.
Is there a AOSP/CM/Lineage OS/etc. based ROM I don't know about? I just can't live with TouchWiz.
what odin u used , i am facing the same trouble with A310f
Samsung Stock Recovery has a defense mechanism flashing itself back if you leave Auto-Reboot in Odin ticked.
Untick it, flash, and then hold Vol Down + Power (mimics battery removal) and enjoy TWRP.
Can I get some help? I bricked my phone because I was trying to install twrp. It flashed but I got an error where it reset my data, after data reset I was stuck at the boot screen with the logo
. I've tried steps like flashing stock rom, odin fails. (I feel like because of the reset my OEM got locked again)
I've tried smartswitch/kies, software downloaded but the phone automatically restarts when the software starts installing. It doesn't even detect my S8
I'm stuck at the bootlogo where it says Galaxy S8, I can't access recovery mode and also I checked on download mode, it says my OEM is LOCKED. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S8 G950FD.
please please help.
it happened for me with s6 edge forget to unlock oem and flash custom recovery but solve it by kies only
u need to install last Samsung drivers and last kies put ur device on download mode and put ur model on kies manually and let kies take the lead
it will work

Try this !
Prepare ODIN with the files CL + BL.
This worked for me this wait, my phone was like yours...
I Cannot turn phone off too.
There's a trick...
All the time you enter in Download mode, and hit Start in Odin, the Odin says "FAIL" and the phone automatic reboot.
The trick is..
When in "Download mode" Start and at the same time press and hold "Vol Down + Bixby + Power".
Odin says FAIL and it will restart the phone automatic.
Press faster and hold "Vol Down + Bixby + Power" to go again to "Download mode".
Press Start in Odin and be prepared to press and hold at the same time "Vol UP + Bixby + Power".
Odin will start to transfer the files... and after that the phone reboot again faster, just press and hold one more time and faster "Vol UP + Bixby + Power".
TWRP will start !
Hope it helps
Okay this one worked. It flashed. Great. But now IT STILL DOESNT BOOT. I'm stuck at NO COMMAND, it keeps restarting after 2 second of showing no command. and it's looping all over.
Note: I've tried reflashing the ROM again. It now fails, and the trick doesnt work, I've tried booting to recovery mode when its on NO command screen. It just restarts. Doesnt boot.
Having a hard time getting into download mode also. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. It just keep restarting.

Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
3. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
4. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
5. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
6. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
8. Connect your phone.
9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.

Thanks for your precious reply and sorry for not updating my previous reply.
Its done. Installed TWRP successfully!!!!!
Anyways thanks for your help!!!!!!!
I guess I have to join the club. I tried to flash the new Oreo beta and surprisingly I succeeded but I made a mistake of playing around with it's arrow pattern settings designed for older people. End result, couldn't remember what sort of combination of arrows I chose. It surprised me that I couldn't use my fingerprint to get out of the arrows, it's basically a pin or a pattern so I should be able to skip it with a fingerprint.
I've been trying two days now, got beyond the arrows problem. Initially I had the original recovery but in my great wisdom replaced it with TWRP so bye bye warranty, but I trusted I could handle it so that I could get back to Oreo but no such luck. Every time I manage to boot it says my data is corrupted and I can't use it. Tried flashing all kinds of Oreos and not Oreos but no luck so far. I even tried a trick #47 to format the data folder and then reflash it with the same stuff. No luck, I've restored backups and made new ones and I suppose it's time to say I don't know what to do. I got a bunch of APKs but I can't get far enough to use them.
My next operation is got back to nougat, but somehow I doubt it will get me through this so any ideas? If there was a way to make the phone like it was when I bought it - then I could make my mistakes all over again, I'm too stubborn to learn anything ever, besides, I'm almost forty and you can't teach old dog new tricks.
I don't have official access to Oreo, just tried flashing whatever I could find on xda mostly. Any and every idea is appreciated. has anyone invented a time machine yet?

Hey there sender, thank you for posting this as it did seem to help me a lot. I was having troubles getting to that menu and it seemed to be how you say it "bricked" as well in no clue how to resolve that. I had searched up almost two hours with no luck and doing other several other options in gaining to resolve it, nothing helped.
Looking at this guide this was something that seemed to only help and thought it was worth a shot after doing over several.. thinking in finally giving up and going ahead with a new device, but my luck.. it worked!
Again thanks for the guide, hope you well and to this community.
Thanks a lot
My phone is working now
Thank you so much!!!
Same problem, but odin stuck and it says "set partition" in the box on the right top..
thanks in advance

Hi I am having this same issue. I tried what you wrote about but I am a little confused. When you say prepare Odin with CL and BL files, what is the CL file? I only have an AP, BL, CP and CSC file but no CL file. Also when you say "Press faster" what does that mean? Not sure when and what to press faster.

Is it possible you still have those files? I know it's been so long, but my phone is stuck in download mode or does nothing at the update screen.. If it helps, I totally forgot to turn on USB debugging before the last time my device saw life.
Hey guys.
Can you help me?
My S8 suddenly died and i made a lot of procedures to flash The stock rom.
Now, it stucks on boot loader screen (Samsung s8 powered by Android screen). Sometimes it tries to go to Blue screen and install something but stucks too... Never pass from this screen...
What Can i do to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Hi, I have m30s and like any other samsung phones I started getting automatic restart problems. I read from this, and thought may be custom os, Kerel may solve the issue.
Hence I tried to flash Twrp from here. I forgot to uncheck auto reboot while flashing using odin. Got PASS in odin and phone restarted only to get stuck in Bootloop. Can't enter download mode too.
Vol up + vol down - no action
Vol up + power - no action
Power + vol down - reboots and gets in bootloop
Did I brick my phone?
Help me please
When your phone is currently able to only restart by pressing Power & Vol- then do following:
Release buttons for restart when the screen goes black. Immediately push Vol+ & Vol- and insert with PC connected USB Cable.
