I have here an sch-i800 that wont turn on... Someone tried to update it with odin and obviously failed... Anyway the only sign of life I get is when I hook up to pc it tries to install the drivers for boot loader I am assuming and fails. I have been looking around for solutions but find nothing. If youre gonna scold me for not googling dont because I have. Just wondering if someone knows something that google doesnt. I can see the tablet in device manager as SEC_S5PC110_TEST_B_D_DRIVER. Please any help would be appreciated.
does your computer have the samsung usb drivers installed?
have you tried booting into download mode and use odin to flash the correct firmware needed by your device?
As hinirang said, the device drivers could be an issue - I found that installing Samsung Kies automatically installs the appropriate device drivers. A good idea would be to kill the Kies process before connecting via Odin, though.
Try re-installing the driver as they might be corrupted but behaving as they are all right!!

Forgive if this is somewhere else on the forum but i have been filtering so much info in the last day and this doesn't seem to be anwsered.
Ok so I went to flash with odin 1.3v and the flash was a bad one probably user error. After that failed rebooted phone and comp. now The computer doesn't recognized the phone as any real hard where just an unknown device. i have reinstalled the drivers multiple times. i have got the watermark suite so i can use the driver but since i cant find a .inf driver i cant force install it. I Understand that it is a bootloader issue or so i seem to believe please help with a redirect to answer or just tell me why i FAIL.
come on nobody unknown device drivers are installed used all usb ports give me some help
Hi
I have been trying to fix this problem for hours. I have searched the forum etc trying to find resolution but cannot.
I soft bricked my phone during the recent ota update and was able to fix it using odin.
I was trying to install the update via mini kies but running into a problem
When I plug my phone via usb my computer won't recognize my phone. I keep getting an error saying "usb device not recognized."
I tried uninstalling all of my usb root drivers and let them all reinstall. However when I plug my vibrant in, it says "device driver was not successfully installed"
I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help? Thanks.
I have a S4 I got in a trade, and It has this error when it boots up. I plug a usb cable in, and it does not recognize it in windows in either the yellow triangle or downloading mode. I have enclosed two pictures to show the errors. Is there any hope for my phone or am I out of luck ? I do appreciate your alls help and directing me to the correct place to fix this.
Thanks!

Looks like whoever had it tried to flash a ROM or something and failed. You'll have to flash the stock firmware in ODIN. I recommend downloading MDL and MK2, because if by chance MDL works then you can get a full custom recovery and not be restricted as to what you can flash. This phone has a locked bootloader so flashing is not as straightforward as other phones.

What links can you provide that gets me the stock ROM, MDL, and MK2.
And thank you so much for the help.
Definitely try the AMDL image first like DeadlySin9 stated. If it is still on that version, you found a diamond in the rough. You'll want to keep it from updating afterwards if it is on AMDL.
AMDL is available from sammobile.com
MK2 is available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
I believe you will have to register on that site to download them.

My biggest problem is this, It will not reconize the usb when I plug it in the computer. I am a computer tech, I know about usb drivers for samsung. etc...Ive done the volume down, power etc where its in download mode, it doesnt reconize the usb. Is there a way to put this on a micro sd card and install it from there? Or do I have to do it from usb?
I would try downloading the Android SDK. It may give you the drivers you need.
Otherwise, try different cables (OEM is best) and different USB ports. Make sure you download the drivers off of the Samsung website. If there is a bad driver on your machine, ensure you are checking the box to delete the driver file when uninstalling.
Otherwise, there is another program called Heimdall that ignores the windows drivers, but I'm not well versed in that one.

What the biggest problem is, I can go to Device Manager and when I plug it in, It doesnt do anything at all. No indication that a USB device in the USB section. But I havent tried kies, I figured, if a unreconized usb device wasnt in the device manager, theres no sense in going any further. EX: I plug my mouse in, it shows up in device manager somewhere. The S4 doesnt at all.

If changing cable and different USB ports hasn't helped, then the USB port on the phone is probably defective and that's an entirely different issue.
EDIT: Also try a different computer if possible.
I know this thread is an old thread but I still wanted to share. I was recently working/ playing with a couple of Samsung Galaxy s4's ( sgh-i337 & sgh-m919). I managed to get the "secure fail: kernal, unauthorized software has been detected by the system" message. These days you hook the device to smartswitch and do an emergency recovery. What I did was hooked the phones up to z3x Samsung Tool Pro in download mode. After selecting the proper device, I clicked the option to read the pit file. After reading the pit file, the device restarted normally with no message. The first time I thought may have been a weird bug but I have replicated it 3 times and the same result each time. This happened after installing or having issues with custom recovery.
Hmm it looks like whoever was trying to install a ROM or custom recovery, forgot to use the Loki exploit.
You can download the MDL firmware from my Google drive here:

If the phone won't turn on at all you might be boned.
Odin and all that obviously require you to be able to boot to download mode.
Are you positive the battery is good? Could you find another battery to try?
Does the charging light come on when its plugged in? Are there any signs of life at all?

I think it does turn on because the phone does continue to heat up but its just a black screen also i can put it into download mode and it stays there without being plugged into charge. I'm not sure about the battery ill have to check that out. ill get back to you.
It sounds like you dont have recovery or a rom installed at all.
To fix that you need odin. If the PC wont recognize the phone that is a problem. Did you try a different USB cord to connect to the PC? They are not all created equal.

yes i have used both the original one that came with the phone and the s5 one that my brother has, i have had no luck.
my phone shows up as "msm8960" or mtp usb device also it it device driver software was not successfully installed.
[UPDATE] i have found something similar to odin called JOdin3 that connects to my phone, through this i will try to flash a stock firmware, downloaded from sammobile, and see what happens.
Odin doesn't work without the drivers, and since you had an issue with the drivers that would explain why Odin doesn't work yet JOdin3 does.

I installed the samsung drivers several times and it still wouldn't connect to the pc, i also installed kies and it still wouldn't work, but it was working before i bricked my phone. i have fixed my phone through JOdin3.But thank you everyone for your help.
Will it connect now through Odin or Kies?

No it still wont connect to either but the computer does recognize the phone.
MTP is built into Windows, so the fact the PC detects the phone is a good sign. The entire problem you're having seems to hinge on your PC rejecting the Samsung drivers, which are absolutely required for Odin to function. Those drivers should have no problems installing, and I have successfully installed them on both Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8.1 machines so I know the installer does work.
There could be many reasons as to the source of your problem, such as a corrupt file or registry entry from when the phone soft-bricked. You want to take a closer look and do some detective work here. Uninstall the drivers if you haven't already done so. Clean out the PC with CCleaner. Even attempt a reinstall of the drivers in the PC's safe mode. Regardless of what you choose to do, if you ever wish to use Odin, you'll need to get this resolved.

yeah ill definitely try to fix the problem because odin is such a great tool. i have uninstalled and installed the samsung drivers but i'll go search the net and what not to try and find a fix. odin was working before when i flashed the stock rom and changed something to mtp and adb (i think i put in an ussd code or something (*#0808#) and through that i was able to use odin) but because the wifi wasn't working on the stock rom, i flashed a custom rom to fix the wifi problem but was once again greeted with the odin problem.
Hello, I have SM G930V encountered such a problem. I want to update to 7.0 but when I transfer the phone to the bootloader and connect usb in the task manager on the drivers it weighs the exclamation mark! I tried different drivers but without successful in Odin does not show com port! What do I need help?
Ok, going to take a crack at this. If you have the drivers installed, when your phone is plugged into the pc, delete the exclamation mark, unplug your phone and plug it back in.
Should install the drivers.

Might not help, but I downloaded smart switch and it automatically installs the drivers and there's an option too reinstall drivers, and Odin and ADB all work.

It sounds like he plugged his phone in to the computer prior to installing the drivers, so it's now installed as an unknown device.
Windows won't search for updated drivers until the unknown device is either deleted, or he goes in and manually updates the drivers from the device manager.
Deleting it and letting windows install is by far the easiest way to accomplish this.
I know my replies can be long, but would rather give too much info, than not enough.
