Hello!
I think I somehow deleted a crucial file...
Okay, so my phone won't connect to my computer anymore. I am using Windows 8 so aside from Windows 8 automatically downloading the drivers on its own, I took additional steps and downloaded the drivers directly from samsungs site. I've tried using different ports, different usb cables and different computers. All that happens is a lightning bolt telling me my phone is charging.
My phone used to be rooted. When I noticed the problem, I unrooted the phone and tried restoring the phone. (I tried booting in recovery and doing it that way as well as restoring it through settings).
I've downloaded just about every app that has the word 'mount' in it to see if it will help and nothing happens.
Every time I restore my phone, the first thing that pops up is a notification saying that samsung link has stopped working. I'm on android 4.2.2
Whenever I've restored my phone in the past, I've always been successful but that was also because I was able to flash a factory ROM through odin on my computer.
When I put the phone in developer mode, it shows in the corner:
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
CURRENT STATUS: CUSTOM
Root checker says I am not rooted so I'm guessing that the BINARY and STATUS is coming up as custom because I am not fully unrooted (however, I had the problem of not being able to connect via usb when I was rooted).
If you have any ideas, I will definitely try them!
Oh, one more thing. Before my phone stopped connecting to my computer, I purchased additional batteries for my phone. I say this because It had been a fairly long time before I realized that my phone wouldn't connect to my computer because I no longer used my computer to charge my phone. And I say that because when I was rooted, I used titanium backup as well as CMW and neither was able to restore my phone back to a time that the usb worked again.
Okay, I think that's it. It's a lot of details but I didn't want to waste anyone's time coming up with ideas if I had already tried one.
Thank you!

Not sure if this will work, but there's a mobile odin you can try to use.
And you can get stock ROM there.

You're should have a custom recovery installed... At least that way you wouldn't need your computer. Otherwise you'd have to do it through Odin, but like you said in the OP, you can't connect to USB. Is your device rooted?

IF you can get to download mode Then jump over to this thread. Download the zipped file (from first or second post), extract the file - just to the .tar.md5 file.
While waiting for the download charger your phone to at least 50%
Also download Odin 3.x. get that here. unzip one of the Odins - I've been using 3.07
To launch Odin make sure you right-click and choose run as administrator!
Once Odin is launched go to the PDA box and select the .tar.md5 file you downloaded.
Make sure you have NOT selected re-partition. you can leave auto reboot and f.reset time checked though.
Now get into download mode - Power button + Home key + Volume down. Hold until you are asked to confirm going into download mode by selecting up volume.
Plug your phone into your computer and a com port should show in Odin3.
If it does then select start and wait till it finishes completely - it will say pass; your phone will actually reboot too.
Go through setup and there you go. new phone.
Then to root just use CF-Autoroot
My computer stopped recognizing my S4 recently, too. Odin wouldn't see it, couldn't connect it as a drive, etc. It had not been very long between when it worked and when it didn't, and I had installed a bunch of new Java stuff for (JDK7, Netbeans, Eclipse, etc). Tried the wife's S3 and same deal. So I uninstalled my Samsung drivers and Kies and booted my Win7 laptop. Reinstalled drivers, no joy. Reinstalled Kies and let it do all it's updates and that fixed the issue. Rooted, MDL, stock rom.

When uninstalling old drivers make sure you go to Device manager and go to View >Sho Hidden devices and remove them too! Remove everything - all left over devices, all software and even directories for said software; Revo uninstaller works well.
Also try a brand new USB cable. Though that may not be it, I've seen that alone solve all kinds of problems! Really just a brand new cable.
If you haven't tried this already, try and make sure USB debugging is enabled?

So I want to root my phone, but I cannot get ANY computer to recognize the phone when it is in either download mode, or debug mode.
I'm running Sprints stock EB13 right now.
I've downloaded the samsung drivers and installed them.
I've tried 3 computers -- A XP 32bit, a vista 64bit, and a 7 64bit system. I've also tried 3 different cables. Nothing works.
The phone is recognized fine in mass storage mode.
Tried restarting the phone many times, removing the battery, etc.. same with the computer side of things.
I'm out of ideas to try and can't find a good post with a fix.
Thanks for any input!

what are you running on your PC that you want to connect to the phone with?
Odin (in download mode?)
ADB in debugging mode?
What exactly are you trying to run ??

I wanted to use Odin to go back to DI18 at first. After that didn't work I tried ADB in debug mode, and that no longer works!
I know ADB in debug mode used to work when I was on DI18 because I used it before when I first got my phone. Now I've upgraded to EB13 from the file samsung provided on their website. I've also tried a hard re-set of the phone and that didn't help either.
I had a similar issue. I was able to resolve it by creating a fresh user in windows and then running it from there.

I had this exact problem with my Epic also. I tried rooting my fone too, for like 2 months straight, with no luck... Tried every technique, software, and trick in the book and nothing worked...
2 days ago though, I finally rooted it using this solution:
Forget about trying to "root" it.
Instead, flash the "Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6" to your fone (search the forum, you'll find it and the thread that explains how to do it).
It's pre-rooted too!
It worked fabulous for me. I am now rooted and well on my way to fully customizing my fone.
Odin is finicky though... I had to switch the usb cord around to several different ports before it recognized my fone. Also, it kept locking up at a certain point in the flashing process, but after moving the image from "Phone" to "PDA" (you'll know what these are once you open up Odin), it worked brilliantly.
Try it, it works!
P.S. Just in case this helps anyone; I should note that originally I upgraded from Eclair to the official unrooted straight from Samsung (before they pulled it) stock Froyo. I loved it, but wanted it rooted.
I read somewhere that it was easier to root it if you reverted back to Eclair first. So I did (search forum for uninstalling Froyo).
And from Eclair, I flashed to the above mentioned rooted and deodexed version of Froyo (EB13).
Hope it helps!

Might try looking at the usb on the phone to check for something preventing a good connection; I've read where people have found bent connectors and were able to fix it.
Good luck; that has to be extremely frustrating.
I tried everything like you, multiple cables, multiple computers, EVERYTHING!!!
I finally broke down and took it to sprint and they couldnt even get it to connect or fix the problem so i got a new epic. You might just want to take it back and get another one. Im on my 3rd epic now so that should tell you something about these ****TY phones...
Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me. My computer no longer recognizes my tablet and says it is an unknown device when I connect it via USB. It won't detect it in odin either. I have the correct drivers installed and have tried reinstalling them and have tried it with different usb cords and different computers with the same result. USB debugging is enabled. I am not sure where to go from here. If someone could please point me in the right direction I would sincerely appreciate it. I would be able to restore functionality to be able to transfer files between my tablet and computer through USB once again.
ROM: BinDroid (Previous was CleanROM and had same issue)
If I download roms through tablet I can install them normally through CWM, and my tablet boots up okay so I am not really "bricked" But I am kind of bricked in the way that I can no longer use odin to flash anything..which is not very good.

No, it is one of the big problems when loading ROMs, bootloaders, etc. Most of the time it is better to fully de-install the driver and then reinstall, as the change of the ROM also changes the perceived device-id by USB (on Windows I presume). I have even seen this happen between HC Stock and ICS Stock...
Odd but true. So, try to de-install the driver (or Kies, including driver) and reinstall (Kies, or just driver). Most of the time that should be enough, but do not hold it against me if that did not solve it.

Here is a possible solution, disconnect device tab/phone, disable your firewall connect device, mine worked, disconnect again restart firewall reconnect device.
this worked for me and also with my s3.
I even tried it with a new computer that has not recognized the device before. I am afraid to use mobile odin as well and I can't backup all my stuff like my pictures and videos. I guess i could use upload to dropbox.

Just switched over to Tmobile from Sprint and before even signing into google i went ahead and tried to root my phone. Rooting was a success. Used Flashify to flash twrp recovery. Downloaded rooted stock D80110G rom and began debloating it (like I did with the Sprint version) and then booted to recovery, wiped twice, flashed and reboot. Well, now it will just keep rebooting back to recovery and thats it!
I still have access to download mode
still have access to custom recovery
Did not do a nand backup unfortunately
cant mount in twrp because computer no longer recognizes phone!
shows up under unknown devices as LG D801
Tried the stock recovery using LG Flash tool posted in generals but ran into the "can not update because of your device policy" or something like that. Reinstalled and tried it again many times, even switching languages and countries (the last step)
Tried using the ubuntu method posted by partager.info but even ubuntu does not recognize the device. Matter of fact nothing even happens when i plug the phone in.
Tried reinstalling drivers, tried on 2 different laptops (one windows 8.1, one windows 7, and an ubuntu usb boot) and my desktop computer (windows 8.1) and am just unable to mount using twrp because none of them recognizes it!
tried using the adb sideload but twrp just stays trying to load adb sideload forever and adb terminal cant even find the connected usb device.
Tried factory reset but that just takes me to twrp.
I've redownloaded the rooted stock rom and left everything as is. I'm assuming I just need to get it onto the phone somehow so I can flash it.
I have an otg cable but not quite sure how to work it wit twrp or if that's even an option; I've just purchased it.
I feel like I've exhausted my options. Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Should've just used Titanium to debloat instead of trying to do a fresh install! I know I know
Figured it out! not sure how to delete this thread now

Hey sorry, I haven't been on the site for a couple days.
I used the flashtool to go back to stock. Had to enter download mode and work from there. The big issue I was having was a driver issue. Uninstalled every driver related to android and then reinstalled after a restart and that did the trick. For some reason android phones are giving me a lot of driver issues on windows 8.1
follow these steps here but make sure you read a chunk of the thread as the steps in the main post are not complete

Hi everyone,
I just want to ask for tips and recommendations to resolve my problem on my phone. I used TWRP to root the phone but failed and i also used kingo root apk apps on it but still failed. But after that, my phone just shut down and when i open it, it no longer boot and stocked in the samsung logo blinking. I tried KIES and ODIN apps to recover my phone in download mode but my computer didn't detect my phone. I tried also to wipe-up data using the TWRP progam on boot loader. I am not sure if was able to enable the USB Debugging on my device. What i want to try is if i can install the firmware of my phone using the TWRP but i just dont know what to do or what i needed to download. i downloaded the stock firmware of the phone but when i tried the TWRP to install it, it didnt work. I already go to the repair center but they just did what i did and they also failed to do. Please help me guys. I know that lots of members here are generous and willing to help each other. Thanks

Hey there,
First off, you can't flash stock firmware through custom recoveries. It can be done only with Odin or Heimdall.
Second, make sure you use the back USB ports of the computer and also try different windows versions.
Wiping data through recovery doesn't help because root apps are usually installed on the system partition.
You could probably flash a custom rom on it. It will at least get the phone working again. You can go from there.
Good luck.

Is the USB Debugging Option has nothing to do with the computer to detect my phone. The technician told me that they will replace the USB female socket on my phone because it was defective. I will spend much on the replacement yet i'm afraid it might not still work. The idea of installing a custom roms might work as you have said. I will try that.

The computer should detect your device no matter what. I mean, how else would you transfer files between the two, since USB debugging is disabled by default.

Hello everyone,
I have wiped everything using the TWR recovery boot option in a really poor attempt to unroot my phone since it was behaving strangely.
Now it look like my OS is gone and the phone cannot be recognized anymore by my PCs even if I install the appropriate drivers manually.
Since it is no longer possible for me to attempt to flash the phone with a stock firmware using odin, I have attempted transfering the file on the phone using the sd card and installing it through the TWR recovery menu however it does not seem to be a possible option.
Does anyone have any advice to propose to restore the phone with a working OS?
It should still be able to load a recovery file from TWR, I am just unsure where I could get these since they differ from ROMs available everywhere else, I can also make change directly to the device drive using the file explorer so worst case scenario, I suppose it could be possible to copy past all the content of an image over there via the sd card.
Thanks
what happens when you put it into download mode and connect it to a computer? can you even get to odin mode? there is a way to ADB an OS onto it , but its pretty particular and usually not necessary.

The download mode seems functionnal on the phone, however the phone is not recognized by any PC which render it useless. My guess is that some files or driver on the phone side got deleted and it is no longer sending the right information to the machines it connects to.
Loading ADB into the OS seems like a neat idea, I didnt know it was possible. I am just unsure if flashing from within the phone is functionnal, my guess is that it probably work, but it is perhaps just a little riskier than doing it from an external device.
Thanks, I will try that, if you have any further advice, let me know
Edit : Oh I just realized you said to ADB an OS into it, yeah I don't thinks its possible, since nothing recognize the phone.
Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers on your computer? Tried a few different computers? And, more likely to be successful, a few different cables?

Yes, it also worked perfectly fine a minute before everything get wiped. I am pretty confident the only way to get it back working would be to copy the files into the phone manually, I am just unsure what files I should copy to the root since I have never seen how it usually look.
That's weird because I don't know of a way to wipe stuff in such a way to remove the capability of Odin connecting to a computer

Hmmm I went on cyaogenMod and installed it on my device using the sdcard. Unsure why the stock OS wouldn't work, but at least now the phone is functional.
The phone is still not recognized but it seems like it is slightly better, it now displays as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Which is better than getting disconnected right away from the computer. Now it probably just is a matter of fixing the drivers or the phone further since I have messed around a lot since everything stopped working.
Alright thanks a lot, it didnt occur to me that I probably could install other roms. Im still unsure whether or not I should stick with it but thats the least of my worries right now

have you tried a different version of odin? or at least a new download of it? does your computer recognize it when its booted up?
