[HELP] [i9500] Weird Connection Problem with Download Mode - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys so I decided today to have fun with my S4 (i9500 variant). But I am encountering a weird problem in here.
I am able to connect my phone when it's booted can copy, adb, everything, but the story changes when I put the phone in Download Mode, no sound (default windows device connect sound) is played on my PC and Odin doesn't detect my phone but as soon as I connect my USB cable (while in Download mode) and remove my battery Odin shows "Added!!!" as soon as I put the battery in it shows "Removed!!!" and the phone disconnects!
I got the battery idea from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO7TVY2UXEY
Video exactly depicts the scenario I am going through but when the guy re-inserts his battery his phone isn't disconnected while mine is.
Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies, downloaded drivers separately and installed them everything is perfect from that view.

Bump, any ideas?

Yes sir.

Did you try a different pc? I would try that to rule out the pc factor.

I didn't I'll try on my laptop later, to be honest I don't think PC would a problem ad it works perfectly wheb the phone is booted, also my PC would be impliedly ruled out since it's a powerhouse and everything's perfect from that view.
I think it would be driver or cable problem.

Hi Syrian Eagle,
You should
Boot into "Download Mode"
start odin / heimdall
connect with computer via USB
load Stock firmware files
click on "Flash"- / "Start" - Button (I can't remember how is called)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
You could use this tutorial..you'll find package with Samsung drivers etc..make sure you have uninstalled old drivers & rebooted before installing new ones.
Also make sure you have working USB cable etc.

Thanks for your help but my problem is when i connect my phone in download mode or regular mode the pc doesn't see my phone and my phone doesn't say any thing (like if he is not connected) i think not a driver issue because previously i connect the phone into ODIN but now after flushing the paranoid ROM this problem appear .

Your USB cable must be damaged or your USB port may need cleaning or damaged try these solutions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571

If you have come from a GingerBread ROM that would be correct.
ICS/JB ROMS USE DIFFERENT DRIVERS
Now follow the advise and reinstall the samsung drivers and try again.

Turn off the phone, remove battery, wait 1 minute, put the battery back and restart the phone. Then connect the phone to your pc and see if that helped.

Every possible reason and solutions that I am aware of, for them are mentioned on that link , you have to try and test each one out, including various Drivers, for you to test...
BUT you keep saying there was no Sign of connection, which means the PC does not say anything (like unknown USB Device) or make a sound and your USB icon does not appear on the phone...am I correct???
That simply means there is NO link, which means, its either your USB cable or USB Port is damaged

Plugging in the USB i a different ought to work. Try this before you go in for more serious options like ODIN.
Try connecting the phone via an USB at the back-panel of your PC.

When it's in the download mode it may show up in a different location in the device manager and be listed only as "android".
Do you hear any sound from the computer when you plug it in when in download mode?
What does your download screen look like?
Once these questions are answered, there may be a solution. Hopefully a CDMA device won't be different

there are two possibilities.. First, your phone is already hard bricked.. second is, your battery is absolutely dead with no power left...
Well, Have you tried to check the battery itself?

hmmmm hardbricked? i can get into download mode and stock recovery. I messed around with adb sideload last night trying to flash a custom recovery but it kept saying installation aborted on the phone. i even tried adb push but it keeps saying error:closed in the cmd prompt.
how can i check the battery? its non removeable.
thanks for helping, any ideas is appreciated!

ok, so have you tried it using different PC or laptop?
(last option if nothing else to try) if you want to check the battery :
DIY remove the case ( there are several tutorials in youtube, but of course, do it with your own risk)

It's not hard bricked/
Getting into download mode proves this.
You must get your computer to recognize your device in order to communicate with it. So I would not consider anything else until that is accomplished. PERIOD!
1. Are you using a USB 2.0 port? usb 3.0 will not work a lot of the time. (Important)
2. Have you tried another usb cable?
3. I think we discussed the drivers, I have them if needed
What operating system are you using?
If nothing here helps we can we can use "TeamViewer 9" which will give me control of your computer to help resolve this issue...

S4 doesnt get recognized by the Computer

Hey guys,
I read the other threads were people had problems but mine didn't get solved by that. I tried everything from re flashing the Rom/Gapps, taking out the Sim Card & Battery to put it back in, Restarting my phone, Using USB Debugging Mode, trying out different USB ports/cables, installing the Samsung USB Drivers/Kies 3 on my pc, etc.
But nothing I tried helped to solve this error. It started to appear recently but I didn't change anything. My Phone charges when I connect It to my PC but It doesn't show up as a device to transfer files to. Windows doesn't even detect that any device has been connected via USB... Any help is appreciated.
Try this:
dial *#0808# and select AP in USB Settings

If there even isn't a popup showing on your pc when connecting in download mode, then it's hardware.

Look, if it doesn't get detected while in download mode then it's:
- Not a software setting on your phone.
- Either you messed up the drivers (unlikely). Remove the drivers completely and it should detect your phone. But it doesn't according to you, so we can rule that out.
- Either you have faulty usb cables (unlikely). You tried multiple.
- Either you have faulty usb port on your pc (unlikely). You tried multiple.
That leaves hardware damage. That seems most likely to me.

Your right that makes sense.. so what do you suggest? I already cleaned the port on my phone. Its weird that it just stopped working from one second to another without me doing anything
