[Q] Help needed!

Ok so here's the thing. This morning when I woke up I dropped my phone on the floor and the battery flew out.Initially I thought it was nothing but later it started rebooting without any good reason. I tried restarting, it would stay on for a bit then it would go down again. I am(was) running CyanogenMod 7 on a Samsung Galaxy SI. I want to reflash it with Odin as it won't start anymore.At first it would just boot loop but now it won't even get past the first logo. The tricky part is that my PC won't recognize it , all I get is Unknown Device code 43 yada yada BS! I tried alot of drivers, I tried the have disk method with the usb driver from SDK Tools , nothing worked ! Please, give me some suggestions about what I should try more because honestly this is beyond my expertise in this domain.

code 43, has more to do with Hardware, its about your cable and PC ...so check cable, try switch to another USB port
Microsoft engineers answer
I suggest that you connect the Controller to a different USB port and check if you have the same issue.
If this does not work, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the USB controller.
To remove and reinstall all USB controllers, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type Device manager and open device manager.
2. Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
3. Restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB controllers.
Disable and enable the USB device:
1. Click on start and type devmgmt.msc.
2. Right click on the caution sign on the USB.
3. Select disable and reboot the computer.
4. Enable the device after reboot.
Also make sure that you download and install the latest version of Software for this. Here is a link you can follow to download the Software:

Nothing worked. I even tried going to another PC but still I get unknown device... Is it still worth the struggle or should I just save up for a new phone ?

try and borrow another original samsung USB cable to test first, this is a major culprit, as numerous people including myself have experienced
what happens is one of the pins on the micro usb plug of rolls in and gets broken , also check your USB slot a good cleaning with a brush and alcohol would be good fro the connection ( do it when you have removed battery)

Got another USB cable still nothing... It's very weird, it's like nothing I heard off or read on the forums... Is there any method of connecting to the mobile using SDK manager ? I'm not really familiar to working with the SDK manager.

was your cable an original samsung cable, IF not, many common cable do not work, due to pin configurations
For ADB, you still need connection with USB cable

Here's another thing I could try. If I go to Device Manager - Right Click on Unknown Device - Update Driver Software - Browse I can choose from a list of Samsung Drivers... The question is , which one do I have to choose for my Galaxy S ? Maybe it will work like this

that was the solution given in my first post, have you not tried them all yet? samsung drivers were also attached on it and what PC software do you use XP or ?

In that link it requires your phone to be working and able to go in USB mass storage mode or debugging mode ... My phone can only stay in download mode . I use windows 7 x64 version .

I think you have misunderstood it, there are many solutions mentioned there in, cause I am the one who wrote it ..your option was to try them all to see which one solved it
for win 7 . download this driver http://www.4shared.com/zip/0LQRmsMm/usb_driver.html and give it a go, if the other failed

Tried everything from your guide...even from the microsoft sites...Still can't get my device to be recognized...If I use the Usb driver you sent it won't let me use them even if I manually choose it for my device. Don't really know what to do more honestly other than throw it away and get another phone

Try the above, then install the Samsung drivers and then connect your device.

problem is, its not the phone but its either, the micro USB slot or cable or your PC, if you have another USB cable and a lap top or a friends PC might be able to resolve your problem

Not sure which driver you tried to install, but I would probably manual install it even though it was plug and play for me and probably most other GS4 users. I found the Samsung's AT&T page and the driver download link but I can't post links yet because of, well, my post count. If you do a search of "Galaxy S4 SHG-l337 driver", you get a "Support - AT&T...." link (should be first one) that links you to a Samsung.com domain. Go there, scroll down, and hit the "Downloads" tab and install that driver.

Go to control panel -> programs -> uninstall a program
when the list is displayed, see if something that is called "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" is installed, if not, then chances are you need that. If it is installed, then see if you can get your hands on another cable, could just be a faulty cable.

one more: go to control panel -> device manager. If you see anything like samsung, android phone etc (check the usb tree there) - delete it (uninstall drivers) and reset PC.
