My computer recognizes my phone and can transfer files and everything but odin will not. Using original cable too. Neitger of my gs4 will work with odin. Tried installing the correct drivers also. They literally tried installing for about 5 hours and still wouldn't work. Any ideas?

Make sure you're on odin 3.x and get your file and everything loaded and ready, then plug in the phone while in download mode. That's the way it works for me.

Try different usb ports, different usb cables, re installing drivers and rebooting the computer to see if it helps

:silly: lol
anyway, I had the same problem but WITH the down menu.so not a solution for me.
Just write here for any future needs -- I uninstalled the drivers from the device manager, as it was showing one "Samsung blabla device"
after reinstalling the drivers (google SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.9.0.exe)
it detected 2 devices in Odin mode (down+up+power) "Samsung modem" and "Samsung blabla2..."
so now it detected all OK
Possible solution
Hi, I can have found the solution for this, when i conected the galaxy S4 to the computer (already on Download Mode) it pops out a message saying that the driver could not be installed, I went to the advenced and clicked on the option "Yes" and then after a while a looked to Odin 3.09 and it was with the BLUE rectangle.
Hope you understand!! Thank you all!

i wanted to do a complete format to clean my i337'z internal sd card and start fresh. and i chose to do the format from TWRP recovery. After the format it does not go beyond the samsung galaxy s4 logo.
it boots in TWRP and also download mode with key combo.
i flashed different Custom roms, tried all the different wipes but no use.
odin also fails, (AUTH fail) dont know why! Everything fails, Also i tried to Odin with the pit file but all in vain.
and also it says on the download mode Write protection : Enable
Does anyone have any idea What is going on with the device?. i seriously need to get it working. I know it is not dead because all the recovery and download mode is working i m just missing something which your experience can point out.
Thanks guys.

You have to flash everything as of this point I believe. Bootloader, kernal, .tar file, the whole works.

Did you install Kies in your computer? It's needed for some drivers so Odin can work. I was also getting an error until I installed it, then let the computer recognize the phone before clicking start in Odin.

I saw those drivers on the website (for the AT&T version), didn't try them because them are dated November 2012, which means older than the device itself. But if you confirm they work, I'll give them a try. Thanks for the tip. No use in having Kies installed, since I don't use it.

I didn't know that. Used to you could get it right from Samsung.com. I guess that's changed, I haven't researched it.

tried a different usb port and my computer recognised it, however i could only add TWRP with odin i couldn't flash the stock rom, it says failed. It also fails when i try to flash in TWRP itself.
Its very strange that you can goto recovery or download mode but phone not complete flash....good news is you have not completey bricked your phone phone cause you can still flash and enter recovery try lastest firmware na5 is leaked but newest. ...or try custom rom...philz recovery may work....also what rom are you trying to flash
Also a screen capture of odin when you get error as well wil help...

thanks,
only thing is it says i have only 3.06GB / 9GB available storage and there is nothing listed that is taking up 6GB of space
ok, so I am not a noob on rooting and such, but this one has me stumped. Have the i337 on mdl baseband. Wanted to return it to stock. I tried to Odin (v3.09) the factory tar from the samsung site, i got a failure, then it went to recovery mode saying to connect kies. I have tried kies 2.6 and 3.0, neither recognize the device. I have tried redownloading samsung firmware thinking it was corrupted and mk2 firmwares in odin, neither worked, they go immediately to fail when i try to execute Odin. I can get into download mode or the kies recovery mode, not sure what to do since it will not take odin. Any ideas?

1. Kies and Recovery mode aren't same thing. Kies never will recognize your device being in Stock Recovery Mode. Don't mix things.
2. Find the error now is difficult coz maybe you update your bootloader with the MK2 firmware (that's android 4.3 no android 4.2.2).
3. Get me the errors or one screenshot that appears in ODIN when you try to flash the MK2 firmware pls.
I'll see what I can do, it happens so fast I don't think anything updates, and it shows me no errors, just fail

Maybe Kies was in your task bar when you tried to flash through ODIN?

1. Try other version of ODIN. I recommend you the latest one -> HERE
2. And pls.... MK2 isn't firmware for your device, it's for i337M. Don't mix things. Flash MDL again if you had that baseband and show me what errors you will have in ODIN. Good luck
Still failed. Let me know what you see. thanks

Pit file
I see youre trying to flash the mk2 file but you dont have the pit file for the repartition head over here and download the mk2 pit file and then rerun it I also see that you have auto reboot checked, uncheck the auto reboot and then once iit finishes flashing and say reset unpluget you're device and pull the battery then put it back in and go into stock recovery by holding volume up power and home all at the same time and wipe data factory reset and cache partition http://d-h.st/5gz
Thanks, but that did not work either. I have never had a problem I couldn't odin out of, but I have tried everything I can think of and still nothing will work. I just want to sell the phone so I even tried the nb1 which should install no matter what bootloader I am on, and still nothing.
Help!!
I've bricked my s7 edge!!
I was trying to flash twrp recovery on odin and ended up stuck in a bootloop. I think I've deleted everything off my SM-G935F. I thought I'd have to resort to reflashing stock rom off sammobile but it doesn't seem to want to complete the download for some reason. It keeps stopping about 3/4 of the way through. It takes about 2 hours to get to this point and it happens every time. I've tries it a few times from sammobile and even 2 or 3 other websites. I've tried different roms O2 and btu and xeu. I'm from the UK using an unlocked unbranded version. Can anyone shed any light on this issue or tell me some other reputable website I may find a working link to a stock rom?
Thanks in advance guys.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry but I'm an amateur when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm not familiar with smart switch..
How does this work exactly? I can't download it to my phone because it's bricked. Would I download it to my laptop?
I've also been trying the fw.uptado.com website but it can't be found for some reason.
Anyone else able to help?
I apologise if this is basic stuff but I've only rooted about 4 phones in 7 years so I'm not really any kind of expert to say the least .
This is the unbranded firmware: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=145291997DB511E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Put your phone in download mode as you did when you flashed TWRP and use odin to flash the AP from the zip file in that download.
Sometimes downloading with "stock" downloader of Windows, and Android sucks if you have unstable internet connection. My suggestion is to use the Internet Download Manager for Windows, or the Android Download Manager (ADM) obviously for Android. Good thing for these aforementioned download managers, if your internet connection drops, your ongoing download will not terminate, instead it will resume where the point stopped.
PS: just tick the option of "Auto Resume" in the Settings.
Hope this helps.
Thank you everyone who has gone out of their way to help me out it's much appreciated. After lots of failed rom downloads, I finally managed to find one that finished downloading. I've flashed it and realised it was an unbranded Swedish rom but it seems to work fine.
On a side note I couldn't seem to install magisk and samsung anti root via twrp. I kept getting an error message saying "failed to mount data. Invalid argument"
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks again everyone.

after flashing twrp u need to perform a format from the twrp recovery. i.e wipe>format data type yes. only after that can u flash a rom or any other file. u need to perform this step only once.
oh n when u reboot the phone select the do not install option.
also it would be better if u flash a custom stock rom like superman or batman. flashing magisk on oem stock rom sometimes makes the phone sluggish. in my case the phone not only becomes slow but lucky patcher causes the phone to reboot.
good luck flashing

For the first time coming from stock firmware, /data partition is encrypted and can't be read by twrp. To fix this, twrp need to format(not wipe) /data partition to remove encryption once.
Keep in mind, that all data will be lost.
