I installed Cyanogenmod using the installer a few months ago and decided to use TouchWiz instead now. I did a factory reset and downloaded the latest firmware for my device. I also entered download mode. When I connect the device to my PC, there are 3 fast tones instead of the usual 2 tones you hear when connecting a USB device. Sometimes, there is an error popup that says that the driver software wasn't installed.
I tried using different USB ports and different cables. I also downloaded drivers for my phone and restarted my PC. What can I do to install the samsung firmware on my device?

Ive been trying to root my phone using cf root but when i put my phone into download mode and connect it to the pc odin doesnt recognise it. However, when i reboot my galaxy s one of the bars at the top of odin turns yellow and in the message box it says "Added!!". Ive tried this on 2 different pc's and its still not working.
When i first connected the usb cable to the pc, a message came up saying if i wanted to install the software from a cd, but i dont have one so i couldnt. Then it said that the software couldnt be installed properly. How do i install it properly?

Download the drivers from my signature & install them, make sure you haven't connected the phone while doing so. Restart windows, connect the phone. Windows will install the required drivers, & you are ready to go.
Do i install from setup.exe. Its asking for a password.
Ive extracted it all but i cannot set up.
My windows is 32bit. Can someone please tell me where i can the samsung usb 32 bit drivers please?
Ive managed to get the 32 bit drivers and it says that samsung usb modem and the samsung usb android composite device are ready to use. However, it says that no driver was found for the ethernet controller.
So I'm attemping to use CF AutoRoot on my Note 4. I'm familiar with the process as I've used it on a few Samsung phones at this point. I went through the steps verbatim (installed Samsung Driver, Kies 3, start Odin, select firmware, power off phone, power on with vol-down/home/pwr, select up to put it in "downloading ..." steate, and then connect to USB). However, it never shows up in the ID:COM section. I thought it might be the cable, so I tried 3 different onces. I thought it might be something on the PC, so I tried 2 laptops and a desktop (2 WIndows 7 and 1 Windows 8.1, all of which I have admin on). Tried starting Odin as an Admin too. Rebooted all of the machines. Took out the battery on the phone for a couple minutes and booted in to the loader again. No dice.
Anyone know of any other way I can get this phone to show up on the PC?
Thanks!
Does your device detect by PC in explorer ?
May be your USB pin is faulty. Many times I have seen device can charge but can't connect to PC bcoz of faulty USB socket
And try with the stock cable. Sometime the aftermarket ones don't work as expected.

You need to make sure that KIES is not running (press SHIFT+CTRL+ESC, click on Processes, find the KIES processes and kill them all by clicking on "End Process").
Actually, KIES is completely unnecessary and does more harm than good. All you need are the Samsung drivers, which can be downloaded from here:
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
The thing is: if KIES is running in the background, it won't allow Odin to recognize the device, so that is why you should either kill it or (preferably, IMO) uninstall it and keep the drivers. Then you run Odin.
It was the cord on mine.
I dont have the stock cord.
I first plugged it in and it found hardware and started searching and installing drivers, even though I had installed the samsung drivers prior to plugging it in. There were 4 drivers it installed.
Then Odin wouldnt see it. So I tried another cord, with no effect, then a third cord and when I plugged it in, it found and installed 2 more drivers..
Then odin was able to see my note 4.
Hope that helps.
If u are using windows, install samsung drivers in compatibility mode. Right click on drivers icon setup, select install in mode compatibility eith windows 7, and follow the instructions. It must work. Saludos
Hi All
I am looking for an update.zip file I can use to flash the stock 6.0.1 rom again over my existing version to fix a USB connection issue. I need a Samsung OTA update.zip which can be flashed from the stock recovery via an sd card.
This has come to light as I've recently tried to update my note 4 to nougat but came across an issue where the phone will not connect with my PC via USB. I have tried all the usual tricks on the phone (dev options, usb debugging, MTP+ADB etc) but nothing was working. In the end I have replaced the micro usb daughter board on the phone thinking there must be an issue with the data pins but the phone still refuses to connect but charges fine. Strangely the phone thinks it's connected fine but the PC says it is not getting a device descriptor response. I have checked drivers etc and also tried 3 other PCs all of which connect to my old S4 without issue. I have also tried various USB cables including a new genuine samsung one.
Due to not being able to connect to a PC in any mode (such as odin download mode or recovery) and having the stock recovery without root my only hope is that a new update.zip will sort out corruption from the last OTA update. I believe this may be the reason as I was able to connect fine until the most recent update a couple of weeks ago. I have tried using a zip from the samfirm downloader but the recovery failed immediately with 'unable to map file'
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to be stuck on Marshmallow now Samsung will no longer be updating the Note 4.
I have tried connecting in MTP mode, odin download and recovery mode with usb debug both on and off
Many Thanks
Luke
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!
I recently installed TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy S8 and wiped everything off of the phone, I now can't connect it to my PC to use ODIN and reinstall the stock ROM for the phone. I have the correct drivers installed and have tried using both Smart Switch and the downloadable driver exe.
Things I have tried:
Three different computers
Different USB ports and types
Different USB cables for the phone
Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
Installing different custom ROMS onto the phone
When I connect my phone I just get the Windows could not recognize this device error and everything I can find online just tells me to enable USB Debugging and installing the latest Samsung Drivers which I have tried. My phone doesn't even recognize that I am plugging it into a computer.
I have looked at other threads on this forum but I don't think they match the exact issue I am having with the device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't figure out why this would be happening and I doubt its a coincidence that the charging port got damaged right after I wiped the phone.
