I lost recovery on my phone and when I try and boot my phone, it says "system software not authorized by att."
I'm trying to ODIN my phone back to stock but I can't see my phone when I open ODIN and put my phone in download mode. does anyone know of any fixes for this?
Try different USB port or different cable.
You might have to try a different computer. I can't for the life of me get my pc to recognize my device. But I have no problem on my laptop

Thanks guys. I found out that I had to restart my computer after installing the drivers and then it detected it with no problems!

PC&Odin not able to detect phone via USB after flashing custom ROM: tried dif pc too
Hi all,
I've recently flashed this awesome ROM: [GearCM][i9500][4.4.4] Optimized CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Galaxy S4 [20140912] in my device. ROM works great, very stable, fast performance, however since install, I am not able to detect my phone via USB. Not even ODIN sees the device connected.
Was doing my research before posting, so I will let you know what I've tried which was recommended in other posts and google:
1. Re-installed Samsung USB Drivers: No Go
2. Used different USB Cables (using stock one that came w/ phone right now): No Go
3. Tried different USB Ports: No Go
4. Tried a different PC: No Go
5. Yes, I am testing with my screen unlocked
Anything else I can try? Maybe a setting in my Phone?
Thanks!
Odin should always see your phone in download mode. No rom will change that.
If Odin doesn't detect your phone in download mode then it's either a:
- Driver problem
- Cable/port problem
- Faulty usb port
By the way, the device charges normally when connected to my computer USB.

Good call. Odin is not detecting the phone in download mode-- so I guess we can eliminate problem in the device configuration.
I'm going to try again in another PC and different cables. Maybe my Cable went bad, sucks because it's pretty new? Going to copy Odin to a pen drive so I can try in friends computer. On other PCs I only tried connecting in Windows-- no download mode & odin.
Ok, so I was able to get working back.
I enabled developer options by going in about and clicking the build 7 times. Proceeded to go to Debugging options and selected Android Debugging marked. Reinstalled Drivers again, then it showed PC connected as Media Device on notifications. I clicked there and changed to Camera PTP and then back to MTP.
Now I'm able to see the Device again!
No idea why I was not able to see it in Odin while on download mode, however, I can see it now even when not download mode.
Thread can be closed, thanks!
Ok so. I bricked my gt-i9505, and i have tried everything to try and fix it. The problems are as follows:
Phone wont turn on
Wont boot to recovery mode
Odin, Kies and pc wont recognize phone
The things i did that got me to a bricked phone are i flashed paranoid android onto the phone and tried to flash gapps full modular, it wasnt working, clockworkmod gave me a status 6 error and so i decided to use mobile odin to flash it as soon as it began the phone crashed and it wont turn on anymore. i am able to go into download mode
I need some help if anyone can help. I dont know what to do.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Until then read/ask in this thread: How to Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S4?

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.
Okay so here goes. I've looked at the forums searching far and wide for anything that may help.
The problem is I have an S4 that had some battery problems. (swollen) so i replaced it out for a new one. The shop that I bought it from claimed that it was an original replacement battery (I live in Pakistan so finding an original battery was hard for me). So the phone worked fine for about half a month and now it's acting weird.
1. It seems to be stuck on a boot loop. but sometimes will start and run for a few minutes (random amount of time) and then go back into the reboot phase.
2. the phone does not go into recovery mode. The recovery screen pops up for a second followed by a no command screen and then phone goes back to boot loop.
3. the phone doesnt go into safe mode either. So i cant check if its a app related problem.
I tried to then flash a new recovery or the stock rom. The phone doesn't connect to odin/ nor Dr.fone for android.
-> Windows doesn't install the MTP drivers even though i have the latest version of KIES installed.
-> I have checked with a replacement battery the problem still persists.
Please HELP!!
Boot it into download mode, then try connecting it to a PC.
@GDReaper
The phone goes into download mode but the computer doesn't recognize it. It doesn't connect to odin and it says mtp drivers aren't installed..

Did you install the Samsung drivers? Windows won't do it by itself.

Then try a different USB cable.
Try a different USB port, different computer, and different OS.

Try to connect to odin. Put in download mode and connect to odin. Does odin recognise it?

So I'm trying to flash a Samsung SM-7387V Galaxy Tab A with new firmware as it currently has Knox / Mobicontrol
So it is locked down and you can't do a factory reset. I'm using Odin 3.13.1 and have the firmware which has the 4 files needed. I was able to initially get it to show up on Com6 is Odin but after a few min it complained it couldn't connect to the com port. After that any time I'm in Download mode windows complains it doesn't recognize the device. No amount of uninstalling / re-installing the Samsung USB Drivers, changing USB ports, windows reboots has fixed anything.
The only time I can get Winblows to detect the USB device properly is when booting it up normally.
So any suggestions on what gives? Also suggestions on if I'm on the right path to restore the device to remove Mobicontrol.

Additional notes: I've tried on a second PC with a different USB cable, same results as soon as you connect it in the boot loader mode. Both systems complain it can't recognize the device. Windows 10 systems.
I was going to include some photos of the boot screen / windows error, but it seems you can't attach photos or new members can't?
New here so this was my first post, do first posts show up automatically as it seems to be a ghost town? Not sure if this topic is viewable? Thanks!
